Lecture and Festival.
SENECA Mills, June 10, 1876.


Mr.. Editor: On Tuesday, the 18th instant,
the Knights of Py1hias, of Great Falls held a
festival on the grounds near Potomac Chap
ell which was well attended, and all who had
the pleasure of being present spoke in the
highest terms of the manner in which the
affair was conducted by the ladies who bad
charge.
1t was difficult for us to tell who done the
best or who deserved the most credit, as we
were strangers but members of the order, but
we will say of those we did have the pleasure
of knowing, Miss Maggie II. and sister, do
deserve credit for being industrious and good
Gnanciers.
Our speaker, Brother Clark, of New York,
gave us some very important points on
Knighthood, as it was in the time of Pythias
and Damon, showing us the beauty of broth
erly love in all its important goodness.
Mr.. Clark is very able speaker, and ham
died his address in successful manner, de-
serving praise from all his hearers.
The presentation of the flag was undoubt-
eddy the best we ever had the pleasure of wit
Messing. We therefore return our sincere
thanks TO Brother Clark for his kindness.
A KNIGHT.

Mr.. BLAINE AND THE CALDWELL DlsPATCH.-
The cable dispatches relating to the Caldwell
Endorsement of Colonel Thomas A. Scott's
account Of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
sixty-four thousand dollar transaction, as laid
before the Judiciary committee by the Western
Union aud Ocean Telegraph Companies, are
published this morning. They prove conclu-
siyey that the famous Caldwell dispatch was
concocted in Philadelphia was transmitted
TO 'Faho," London, which, it is alleged was
the registered address of Josiah Caldwell
However this may be, the dispatch sent from
Philadelphia to London was copied there Ter
6dfim and sent thence over the name of
Caldwell, and express instructions from Phila-
delpha, TO the chairman of the Judiciary com
mttee at Washington. Ia connection with
this it will be observed-and here dates be-
come important-that on the Both OF Nav
dispatch is sent TO Caldwell from Philadelphia
asking him to ''cahle nobody excepting
Scott" that on the 3lst the Caldwell dis
patch was sent TO London, copied and sent 20
Washington, as directed, and that also on the
3lss Scott sends dispatch to Caldwell from
New York, thanking him for his cable indorse-
ment. We now learn that Caldwell has noti-
fed Mr.. Knott that he will send his affidavit.
That follows as a matter OF course. 1t would
seem now, moreover, that while Mr. Blaine
was going into heroics before the House about
this Caldwell dispatch and in bold dramat-
ic way was accusing Mr.. Knott with having
suppressed it, he knew all about il, and If not
a party to it was cOghizant of it, and derived
his information not as he left it to be inferred,
from some leaSy vessel who had heard of It's
reception By Mr.. Knott but from the parties
who we're in the secret of its authorship and
of the means that had been taken TO get it
transmitted TO Mr. Knott In This view of the
case appearances in Mr. Blaines behalf are
certainly not improved -Balto. S,m.

The Republican Nominees.

The work at Cincinnati is completed and
though The people are relieved from the fear

The ADMINISTRATION united against him and

we'll known political rule Of generous graft

then il will merely be continuation of Grants
regime. The same character of officeh6lders
who have been plundering the country will
be retained and the same official corruption
will be found running through every branch
Of the government.
The prominent candidates before the con-
vention owe their defeat entirely 10 too much
notoriety. They have been lending their aid
and support to too many of the infamous
schemes of robbery which have been exposed
to the public view and were submerged be-
meath the tide Of corruption which has swept
over the country. Bristow, The only man who
bravely breasted the tide and sought to dam
its progress, was merclessy slaughtered, and
the republican party with its prominent men
buried out Of sight was compelled TO select
their candidates from among those who were

fearful examples of The sad mistake which is
committed when men without record or
national reputation are lifted into positions
where hey ltve the power 10 do evil. The
platform adopted by the convention discloses
the plan o. operation in the present campaign
The old ffes Of sectional strife are to be re-
kindled, the bloody shirt is to be thrown
agains; the door-post of every democrat, the
cry fes the negro's social ascendancy is to be
raiser, and that issue born with the Know

Instead of promises 10 administer The affairs
Of the government for the veal and welfare Of
the nation they promise system Of oppression
in direct conflict with the constitution.
With such obscure men upon such an infa-

clares extreme opposition 10 republican cor

On Wednesday evening fatal accident oc-
cured to Mr.. Grafton Beall, citizen of our
county, living near Beallsville, in Medley's
District, by being thrown from bis horse at =
point on the Jamestown road about two
miles from this place. Information having
been received here of the sad event, number
of our citizens repaired to the spot and found
him lifeless. A jury of inquest was at once
empaneled, the verdict Of which was that be

horse against tree. Quite large number
of persons were present from the immediate
neighborhood, some of whom had arrived be-
fore life was extinct. Among them was
number of ladies, who seemed TO vie with each
other in rendering the noble tributes of wo-
manly kindness to the deceased. The remains
were brought here by The Messrs. Humphrey
and suitably prepared for interment.
Mr.. Beall was well-known and highly re-
spected citizen of our county, and leaves be
hind him large circle of relatives and friends
to mourn his loss. At the time Of the acct
den. he was riding II hgh-spirted running
mare, which left the road from some cause and
dashed wildly into the woods. At the place
of the accident the tracks showed that she
was running at full speed. Mr. Beall, in his
lifetime, was noted for his kindness of heart
and general disposition to favor all who asked
for assistance.

LOCAL AFFAIRS
A sad Bereavement.

Year after year death selects n victim from
among the Young men Of our village. Only a
few days ago in IFS annual visit it bore away
with it one just emerging from youth into
manhood, and perhaps its ruthless hand has
never struck deeper pang into the heart of
the community than upon this sad occa-
sion. Eddie Stouestreet, whose boyhood had
grown among us until it buddcd into youth
and was just unfolding into the bloom of
manhood, had by an evenness of temper and
an amiability of disposition, and by quiet,
unassumming, unobtrusive demeanor attract
ed to himself, as by a silent but irresistible
magnetism, the esteem and friendship of all
his comrades; but above all by a strict morali-
ty, an undertaking integrity and character
untarnished by any vice he had won the respect,
confidence and admiration of all who knew
him. Amid all the exciting scenes of school
day life or in the quieter and camer walk
through youth be has never harbored an I'M
kind or ungenerous thought against his com
panions nor has he ever aroused in their
bosoms an enmity against himself; he passed
from this earth al peace with all men, and SO
far as human knowledge can discern at peace
with the God to whom be is returning.
To the grief-stsieken family, from whose
midst has been torn the only son and brother
we extend OR heartfelt sympathy and if the
will be one of coincidence we assure
them that the whole community is bending in
mourning with them over the bier Of their
departed one.

Double Tragedy in Hartford County.

BELAlR, June Is, 1876 most horrible
double tragedy was enacted near Clermont
Mills, IN the fourth district, upper part of
Hartford county, this morning by Christian
koltz, a youth, from the Maryland House of
Refuge, farm hand, who brutaly murdered
Miss Almra Street youngest daughter OF Mr..
Roger Street, his employer, residing near the
mills, aud afterwards hanged himself in the
presence of neighbors who had been summon
ed aud arrested him.
Miss Street was seventeen years Of age.
Her body was found at the foot of the cellar
stairs of the house about - o'clock A . NJ,
with the head partly served from the body,
and AN axe with which the deed is supposed
to have been committed, lying near by cover
ed with blood. The victim had been engaged
preparing breakfast, when she was attacked
by the young Gend with the axe, who dealt
her repeated blows, as evidenced by several
gashes left on the neck of the bleeding corpse
kollz, whose age is variously stated at from
l6 to 90 years, was at once suspected as the
murderer and was Put under arrest The
alarm was given and news soon spread around
the ueigbornood aud a number of ueighbors
responded 10 the call, A messenger was dis
patched 10 Belair, about ten miles distant, for
Sheriff George w. Hanway, Who with the
States Attorney, J. 7. C. Hopkins, mme-
diately started for the scene Of the murder.
When the messenger left the house for Belair,
a large crowd had assembled and the impress
sion was general that if any positive proof
developed itself against the accused, neither
sheriff nor States attorney would be able to
save him from Lynch law.
The young lady belonged to a large and
most respected family in Hartford county, and
the horror aud Indignation excited by the
enormity of The crime were very great.
Before the arrival of the Sheriff and State
attorney the murderer Klotz confessed the
crime, and said he had no cause TO kill Miss
Street. and that he did the murder out of
pure deviment He then deliberately hanged
himself 10 The limb of a chestnut tree in the
woods near the house, and died in the pres
ence OF a large assembled crowd, who urged
! him to the act.
Koltz was always a vicious fellow. He
had before threatened Miss Street, and her
father had intended TO send him back to the
| Maryland House Of Refuge, from which he
! had come TO labor on the farm. His self-exe-
cution under the circumstances, through a
/ very novel and startling procedure, is gener-
ally recognized as the very best thing he
could have done both for himself and the COM
munity. great deal of sympathy is mani
Tested in all parts of the county for Mr.. Street
and his immediate family.

pleasure of the young ladies and gentlemen
of our village for several days past, and have
noticed the Croquet Grounds thronged with

An accurate analysis of the present poiti-
oal situation has satisfied a writer in the ST.
louis Repub lican that the democracy have the
decided advantage. They are already in
possession of states enough TO elect the next
president, and therefore do not need to gain
states, but merely to hold their own. Of the
recent elections Connecticut and Oregon have
demonstrated that the northern democracy
are SO far from being dismayed that they are
confronting the enemy everywhere at the
north with confidence born of their just
cause and their beneficent intentions.
