EE-From the speech of Hon. George
f. Hoar, of Massachusetts, in reply to
Mr.. Lamar, the following passage is full
of wit and sense:
.'Mr. Speaker, 1 do not deny that in all
these years the Democrats of the South
have made some progress But it has
been progress in which nothing is due to
themselves. Whatever they have learned.
either of freedom, of justice, or of Repub
lican government, they have learned from
their opponents. They have been the un-
willing pupils of the Republican party
Like Dante's souls, whose necks Satan had
twisted, they have marched on, impelled
by a strength other than their own, per-
petually looking back"

The Developments of the Canvass
Folly of the Democratic Campaign"

Folly of the Democratic Campaign"
Under this caption the New Y ork Her
aid publishes a lengthy editorial from
which we make few extracts, as follows
The treatment of the fnan
cial question, of civil service, of the ont
term in Tilden's letter was a blunder.-
There is no explanation of the surrende
of the Resumption act by Gov. Tilden.-
1t was the violation of pledge, which
must run more than three years before full
fillment, of one of the pledges upon which
our national credit rests, at a time whel
we are trying to borrow three hundred
millions at four and half per cent. Thi,
pledge did not bind Gov. Tilden, because
he goes into office upon the assurance
triumphantly repeated by his friends, thai
in very short time, much less time than
the Resumption act comedies, he would be
ready to resume. Now, if Mr.. Tilden as
President is certain that he can resume in
less than two years, why is it that be
throws away the pledge now? For no
other reason than to obligc Mr. Hendricks.
Mr.. Pendleton and the indationists. In
other words, this paramount and ostenta-
tious reformer, who would 90 into office to
war upon wickedness, makes terms in the
outset of his campaign with the worst fa-
ture of wickedness in the Countrywide
party of reputation and imitation. eau
tious, conservative Democrats who remem-
Der how Buchanan was bullied into seces-
sion, even at time when his heart was
loyal to every star in the flag of the Union,
ask if it is possible that Tilden can be an
other Buchanan, with Hendricks and Ew-
ing to drive him into imitation as Davis
and Slidell drove Buchanan into civil war
y The insincerity of this cry
for retrenchment is shown by the fact that
the Democratic House, which reduced the
government to its present beggarly situa-
ton, passed the Equalization of Bounties
bill and the act for the improvement of
rivers and harbors. These measures were
of the most Ubiquitous character. No
House can claim to be honestly in favor of
reform that approved them. The "le-
Of the House is humiliating.
Instead of calm, philosophical arrange
ment of the whole question of the civil
service-instead of reductions that would
not injure the government-there has been
a violent cutting down of the most useful
of the government. Gallant
naval officers have been thrown on the
mercies of cold world, he'pride and the
spirit of the army and navy have been
broken, and, as Gen. Grant pointed out
in his message, more money will probably
be lost from the economical interference
with the collection of the revenues than
will be saved by the whole measure of re-
form. Conservative men, who look at
their own business affairs, from common
sense point of view-who knew very well
orse engine can be driven
power-fear that the Dem
J has fallen into the hands of
re willing to imperil the service
eminent to make capital for the

ses. There are several similar charges against
Walker. He is held in default of $4,000 ball.

Like other places Towsontown seems to have peo-
pie who are mean enough to do anything. During
the fire of Saturday morning last, number OF arti-
cles which had been removed from stores and dwell
ings were stolen by mean sneak thieves, who took
advantage of the excitement to pepetrate their rs-
caties. Hanging would be too good for such scoun-
drels.

Knight while being removed from Baltimore to Tow

Letter from Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Aug Both, 1876.

DALIlMOhES AAu OObl, lOtO.
Though the business of the Baltimore
County Union and your printing establish
ment, has been considerably interrupted
by the disastrous fire which burnt it out
on Saturday morning last, yet I am glad
to see, as felt confident it would. that the
Union is again to appear and visit its
many readers, regularly on Saturday as
heretofore without delay. You. Messrs
editors, have, I feel confdrnt n" earnest
sympathy of brother editors al over the
country, including every cno else who
properly appreciates the loss, trouble and
vexation incident to such msfortunes. |
may say, bad as the disaster was it might
have been worse and there is cause for
tharkfulness on that account.
1t is gratifying to say that the difficult
ties heretofore existing among two factions
of the Republican party in our city
though in reality they at least were tri-
fling have been amicably and satisfacto-
rily adjusted Much of this result it is
proper to say, has been owing to the con-
cilliatory and generous spirit of Col Will
kens, the new Collector. He has the re-
spect and confidence of every one. His
suggestions, therefore will be heard at
tentively. and being comprised by reason
and fairness on all sides, did the good
work. Henceforward, therefor the Re-
publicans of Baltimore and of Maryland
can work together united. hand in hand,
for the prospective or ultimate benefit of
all, personally, politically and otherwise.
If therefore, Col. Wilkens will do what
I am sure his practical sense and good
judgment must dictate, he will, in making
what changes or appointments seem ne
cessary, select persons for places who are
purely meritorious and at the same time
most advantageous in partizan sense.
There is decided and encouraging activ-
ity among the Republicans of our city,
They work together tremendously ,energet-
ically and are forming clubs in all the
wards, rapidly swelling in numbers. The
belief is both Baltimore and Maryland can
be carried for Hayes and Wheeler next
fall, besides electing three-probably four
of the Congressman. This is no idle
talk. We mean what we say and will do
it. There is evident apathy among the
democrats. But few of the prominent or
influential reformers of last year have gone
back /; nor do they propose going. H. V.
D. Johns, our young, rising lawyer and
statesman, who the democratic papers an
uuuuceu' Iiad' ags.in joined the democracy,
is now earnestly engaged making speeches
to large assem-. blages favoring Hayes,
Wheeler, Republicanism and Reform.
1t is expected that the address of Pro-
fessor Huxley, the world renowned scien-
fist, to be PRONOUNCED at the Academy of
Music 18th Septetaber, will be grand
treat. Being under the auspi-
ces of the Johns He rims a., to

How 1T LOOKS AWAY FROM HoME.-f anybody can
show us anything more absurd than the following
from the Pittsbnrg Sunday Leader Of 9th Aug we
would like to see it. Prepare yourself to laugh and
then read:
BALTIMORE, Aug 26.-At O'Clock this morning a
destructive confagration occurred in the business
center Of Townsend. Baltimore county, in large
stone building occupied upon the first floor by Mrs.
NJ A. Shelly & Son as grocery, dry goods and va
riety store. The second story of the building was
used as publishing and printing office Of the Bati-
more Country Union, M Longnesk, proprietor. The
general impression is that the store was brokenin
to- robbed, and then set on fire. In Messrs. Shelley
store two half kegs of powder ard two barrels
of coal oil. One of the latter was gotten out. The
two half kegs OF powder exploded with terrific force,
throwing the timbers and stone OF the house to dis
lance of one hundred yards Townsend has no fire
department, but the exertions of the citizens pre-
vented spread of the fire to adjoining building.
Mrs. Shelly estimates her loss at $4,000, upon which
she has policies of insurance in the Hartford Mutual
Insurance company for $500. Lingnesk Timothy
lose between $500 and $500, upon which they have
policies of insurance in the Baltimore County Mu-
tual.
