ls- "a lie may stagger through existence as
blackguard edges his way by dint of bullying
through a crowd; but the truth, however abused
for time, will triumph and live forever"
We commend the above to the editor of the
Journal. He has accused us of saying that
certain of the old members of the Board OF
County Commissioners "stole the aims house
funds" and we have denied ever having said so.
Last week he again reiterates the charge and
says-whieh is about the flimsiest thing we have
lately read in his unfortunately for us,
the editors files destroyed by fire last month
one year, consequently ce-(mark the word J.
have no means of giving his exact words which
embraced the mean insinuation they contained -
Suppose our files had not been burned what right
would the Journal man have had to have used
them to prove as untruthful But let him COM
pose his mind. We have been able to collect near
ly complete files of the Union for several years
past and we extend him an invitation to come and
look them over. He knows he is saying what is
not so when he makes the charge, yet he sticks to
it as persistentIy as though it were Bible truth.
Read and ponder the above paragraph, friend
Ruby.

GS- The Herald of last week, referring to the
late Democratic Convention and the soreness
which has since existed, says:
"That there is some soreness arising from dis
appointments is not to be wondered at. This is
the natural result of defeat; but we are of the
opinion that the primaries conducted fairly
in all the districts, and that the delegates sent
represented the wishes of their constituents, so
that the defeated candidates were not cheated or
defrauded at the primaries, and can attach no
blame to the convention for not nominating them.
A correspondent of the same paper takes rather
different view of it. He says:
at has become a prophecy whenever certain
individuals espouse person in certain districts,
he is certain to win. 1t was apparent in the last
convention-the popular vote was overset in some
districts. heard it asserted that in two districts
illegal voting was practiced, and men not belong
ing to the party allowed to vote, and in one dis
trict tickets were introduced candestiney. 1t is
reported by men in the district that it has been
practiced there repeatedly"

Pole, Thos. B. Catch, Oregon R. Benson, John 1.

TO THE POINT u
Thu Baltimore Bulletin on the Chair
e the Democratic Executive
a Committee of Baltimore
County.

The Baltimore Euening Bulletin of 18th inst,
says:
The Democratic Executive Committee of Bal
timore county, which, in spite Of the fact that some
of its members are highly respectable gentlemen,
distinguished itself by electing for its chairman
William NJ. Isaac, accused by the County Commits
sioners of appropriating to his own use large
percentage of the county's money in settlement
with the courts of the city and adjoing counties,
the said appropriation having been without pre-
cedent, except as created by himself and entirely
without equivalent service rendered-met on Sat
urday at the Rennert Housein this city, organized
and proceeded to business. The principal bust
ness consisted of an address by Mr.. Isaac, the
newly-chosen chairman, in which, as it was nat
ural to expect, he attacked the County Commits
soners, who not only permitted previous trans
actions to be made public, but also refused to con-
tinue the commissions he has been receiving,
which as they had latterly averaged about AZ per
cent amounted to a considerable reduction in his
income. Mr.. Isaac also went so far as to move a
committee to investigate the accounts ofthe Com
missioners, and such committee was appointed
So far as his own accounts are concerned no mo-
ton whatever is recorded as having been made
1t is not place, nor our purpose to defend the
existing Board of Commissioners of Baltimore
county. They may have been, probably are, ex-
travagant. But, that fact, if we may judge by
Mr.. Isaac's case, will not prevent their being re-
elected, possibly by an increased majority. 1t Is
to be said ala their faxaE md '"s' to sa'9 ~
fUommIssIonets aitifhore County sitting since
the almshouse fund was exhausted. That fact
probably, did not tend to reduce the aggregate of
their expenditures, but it did tend to make their
demands upon the tenable basis of the county
much heavier than that of previous boards"
