CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EGIS,
TiIden and Reform in Old Marshalps.

Mr.. EDITOR: Tllden and Hendricks meet.
ing took place on Saturday last in Old Marshalls
which is worthy of passing notice. One of
our good Democrats, Mr. John H. Engle, living
near the Upper x Roads, was determined that
end of the district should have Tilden flag
lying, and having no public house near, he de-
termined to put up the flag on his own premises.
meeting was called on q very short notice for
Saturday afternoon last. Owing to the unfav-
orable evening small turn out was expected,
but some thirty or more of the neighbors were
present and fine hickory IS feet long, was soon
up, and flag 1913 feet long with Tilden, Hen
bricks and Reform streamer, was noated to the
breeze. The meeting was organized by calling
DR.. Rutedge to the chair and John d. Anderson
and John r. Street,, Esqs., were made Sec
retaries. Mr.. Samuel James and Squire Alder.
son each made stirring speeches, and discussed
the political issues of the day with an ability
that would have done credit to more ambitious
orators. At the close of Mr.. Alderson's address,
the rain coming on, the meeting adjourned

district in the coming election w. X. r.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-On Saturday morn.
ing last the large canning factory and barn
of VIM. b. Baker, p miles north of Aber-
deem, were destroyed by fire. The fire was
not discovered until the factory, shed build
ing, was almost entirely consumed and the
barn, situated on the opposite side of the road
was burning The horses were gotten out of
the latter, but quantity of grain stored in it
was burned. The factory contained $500
worth of canned goods, q portion of which,
it is thought, will be saved uninjured. The
insurance is $1,000 on the factory and con-
tents, and $500 on the barn, The fire is sup.
posed to have originated from fire in one of
the small furnaces used for heating the sold.

MATTERS POLITICAL,


DEAR EGIs 1 am pleased with the political
prospect from all quarters of our land, and feel
satisfied that the thundcrbolts so astoundingly
hurled from the down.trodden States of Ala.
bama and Arkansas have truly awakened from
their lethargy the Democrats from the st. Law
renee to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The charging squadrons of Reform
are marshalllng their forces, and the picket fires
from Kentucky, West Virginia and Connecticut
have sounded the alarm that Columbia is tired
and ashamed of n President who in eight yea RS
has delivered two speeches, one of them framed
by the mastery mind of W. II. Seward, flashed
over the Union and clectrifyng the people =
=" Let us have peace!" After this brilliant at
tempt at oratory lad been accomplished our
model President began his unrelenting despotism
over the South with tyranny that Nero and
Callgula could not have equalled. The next
great speech of our wondrous soldier Execu-
tive was, " Let no guilty man escape" When,
after bringing the country into disgrace and on
the verge of ruin, by cOnniving with plunderers
he allowed the ringeaders all to escape from
felon cells. Now, Mr.. Editor we must lake
time by the forelock, and do our very best for
the preservation of our common country, by
making heroic stand for Tilden and Hendricks
as a last resort to free our National CAPITAL
from the vampires who are enrching them
selves at the poor mans expense. As HAYES
and Wheeler have endorsed the policy of Grant
u Co., if they are elected we know the result
will be an utter prostration of our resources,
and the ruin and starvation of the working
classes. The Republicans, even in Maine and
Vermont, have heard the knell of their doom by
very much decreased majoritics and the Radi.
cal machine is growing more demoralized as the
ides OF November approach. The country is
abaZe with enthusiasm, and one strong vigor.
GUS pull for the constitutional rights and priv.
leges of citizenship will give us once more the
reins of government.
NoRRIsvILLE AND NEIGHDoRnooD.
Grantism is about played out in Norrisville
Taxpayers, remember that Uncle Sam Tilden
will bring down your taxes, and raise the price
of your produce SO you can live.
Mr.. Nicholas Norris, one of our best citizens
and hard working Industrious farmer, had his
leg broken, on Thursday, September 18th, in
Baltimore, while unloading a barrel of cider,
but is improving slowly. We hope he will soon
be able to attend to his duties again.
The very slim squad of Hayes men in our
vicinity are looking as blue as an indigo blue
bag after weeks washing and are growing
Simmer. More troops.
A terrific rain storm with heavy wind burst
upon us on Sunday prostrating the corn, and
raising Deer Creek very high, carrying away
fences, water racks, &C., and flooding the
meadows. The mad waters tore deep gullies,
reminding us of how Hayes men will look after
the 9TH of November.
Many of our farmers are busy in their ia IL
seeding, and the threshng machine is heard all
over Marsnalis. GULIELMUs.

the portico of which was made use of by the
speakers, the first of whom was H. CLAY Dallam,
Esq, OF Baltimore, who made telling address,
by giving the reasons why he, in common with
the mass of the people, desired change in the
management of national affairs. Mr. Dallam
was followed by Mr.. Charles p. Montague, also
OF Baltimore, who pursued line of argumcn t.
which appeared to attract the attention of quite
number of our reconstructed colored fellow
citizens. His remarks were very incisve rs
we'll as amusing. Following Mr.. Montague, the
Hon. Stevenson Archer addressed the audience
in his usual terse and convincing manner, i'm
pressing upon them the necessity of the coun-
ties rolling up an overwhelming majority, for the
purpose of overcoming what may be done in
baltimore by the minions of the administration,
under the semblance of law. Several other gen
tlcmen also addressed the meeting in clear
and convincing style. The meeting was dc.
cided success, and in spirit of emulation we
say to the other districts of the county, this is
the banner district and we intend TO retain it,
Take it If you can. IvuRos

-Four years ago the Republicans carried

They cast twelve votes. Thus out of six
States that voted for Grant in 1879, the cleo

to certainty that out of thirty seven elccLor-

Contribution LEvIED.-The directors
of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company in
Hartford County, met on Tuesday, and levied
a contribution Of eight per cent. on the
notes of members. We learn from the Sec
rotary that the losses from fire since the 25th
Of last March amount to about $4,000. The
receipts since January 1st, 1876, have been
$19,123.95, which includes loan of $4,5OO
The entire amount of Indebtedness is $16,-
1852. A re-assessment of all the property
insured in The company will probably be
made, SO that the rates may be more equally
adjusted Some Of the risks were taken
many years ago at very low percentage
81 in some cases-while since 1860 no risk
has been taken at less than 5 per cent.

THE ABINGDON MEETING-The gather.
ing of Democrats at Abin gdon last Saturday
was one of the largest ever held there. Adj
dresses were delivered by Ii. Clay Dallam,
and Charles p. Montague, Esqs,of Baltimore;
Hon. Stevenson Archer, J. T. G. Hopkins,
VIM. L. Cooley and Jacob H. Plowman, of
Hartford.
A large hickory pole was raised, on top of
which broom was suspended, typifying
the clean sweep that Tilden and Hendricks
will make of the abuses that now infest the
federal government. Owing to some mis-
understanding the flag did not arrive in time,
but it has since been received and will be
unfurled next Saturday. 1t is large and
handsome burgee, inscribed "Tiden and

nishcd the music, was warmly complmentcd

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

Almost every day the papers chronicle the
suicide of some poor unfortunate whose mind
has been cnfecblcd by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon q heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and unreliable agonics of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-no country is ex.
eempt from its visitations, no family free from
its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead it
comes in the shape of the Peruvian Syrup
For years it has been scattering its blessings
abroad. There is, probably, no disease which
experience has so amply proved to be remediable
by the Peruvian Syrup as Dyspepsia. The most
inveterate forms of this disease have been com.
pletcly cured by this medicine, as ample testi.
mony of many of our first citizens prove.

many ofthe Democratic Presidential Electors
as may be able will attend on this occasion,

means to do her whole duty in the noble

Where the Presidential Battle will be
Fought.
OF Carroll County.

The indications are that the battle field of
the present campaign will be in the West.
crn States, and that in the State of Indiana
the heaviest blows will be struck. 1t is this
fact that gives such great Importance to the
pending contest for Governor in that State,
Both parties are straining every nerve to
achieve success, but they differ widely in the
means they use. The Democrats appear to
be conducting the campaign in an open, hon
orable manner, appealing to the reason and
show them the danger of continuing the Re-
publican party any longer in power.
Their opponents, on the other hand, are
rcsorting to every device that craft or subt!ety
can concoct, to carry the election. General
DiX's Boys in Blue are vending their way
thither, accompanied by bands of singing pill
grims. The former are intended to do their
part in arousing again the old sectional pas
sions and prcjudices of the war, and in re-
kindling the waning enthusiasm of Republi
cans. The singing bands will gently WOO
the IEoosier voter with praises of the Repub
lican candidates, set to Moody and Sanky
tunes, A small army of Republican orators,
under full pay, has been sent there to add the
charms of spread-eaglc eloquence to the 9TH
CT inducements held out by the Radicals.
And all will vote the Republican ticket
This, however, is but portion of the Rad
ical programme for carrying Indiana. Ne
groes from adjoining States are piled with
inducements of good wages and nothing to
do in Indiana, and under such stimulus large
numbers have gone thither. The importa-
ton of so many of this class means nothing
else than fraud. There is no registration In
the State, and the detection of fraudulent
voting, on the part of negroes especially, is
almost impossible. The Republican mana
gers i'll Indiana arc among the most corrupt
and interruptions men in the country They
have at their command large sums of money
forced from olllce-holders, and every vote
that can be bought they will have.
Without doubt bold and Infamous fraud
upon the purity of elections is contemplated
by the Republicans in Indiana. They will
stop at nothing; knowing their defeat in Oc-
tobcr will presagc an overwhelming defeat
of Hayes and Wheeler next November
While the election of honest " Blue Jeans"
Williams rs Governor of Indiana would be
accepted as an assurance of the election of
Tilden and Hendricks, his defeat would not
necessarily carry with it Democratic reverse
in November. Indiana has always been an
uncertain State, and enough States can safely
be counted, without Indiana, to elect Tilden
and Hendricks, ifa fair vote is allowed. The
election in Indiana takes place October 10Th,
We shall look for the result with interest.
