A Baltimore correspon dent of the
Washington Star in speaking of the
politics of this State, "a political
suspicion naturally is created when
such old. battle-scarred democratic
vets as Robert M. McLane and Mont
gomery Blair are willing to eat hum
BILE pie" in the house of delegates,
but when it is recalled that Senators
to the National Congress are frequen-
fly found in chrysalis state among
Maryland state Legislative members
then the mystery is explained. Twas
said that Caesar was ambitious and
there can be no nobler ambition than
to "stand a Senator within the Sen
ate house." Me thinks | hear the
refrain now, "Go away, Whyte man,
don't, come a-nigh me-" He whose
brother runs that silver bank of Ma
vada, and the other who is at the
head of the Silver Springs of Mont
gomery are in all probability intent
upon the honors, if not the dollars Of
the fathers"

The citizens of Alfred, Allegany
county, N. Y, boast that, although
their town has population of about
two thousand, there has never been
glass of liquor sold publicly within
its boundaries, and that it never has
had a single pauper to support. At
the last election the place gave three
hundred and fifty-four votes for Mr..
Hayes and forty six votes for Mr..
Tilden, and it is the Republican
stronghold of a very strong Republic
can country.

1t is now more than probable that
the next House of Representatives
will be organized thoroughly in the
interest of the Democracy. The
millennium has not come and the av-
erage Southerner does not take any
great amount of stock in Mr.. Hayes
Southern policy; certainly not enough
to let any of the offices out of the
Democratic grasp. We see frequent
mention of our fellow citizen Mr..
John Daley, in connection with the
position of Door Keeper. AS Dem
ocrat must be chosen, we heartily
wish he may be elected, and shall
think great deal better of his party
if it shall select him. His kindly
disposition, and genial manners have
won him hosts of friends on the
"other side" though his Democracy
is of that "cerulean hue" that should
most strongly commend him on par
ty grounds to those who have now
the opportunity to do a graceful act
by comforting on him place which
his character and services well de-
serve.
Apart from politics we shall truly
rejoice in his success.

Official reports from General Ord
state that the Mexican General Ire
vino, by direction Of his government
has withdrawn from the agreement
entered into between them in regard
to cooperative movements against
Mexican cattle raiders. The effect Of
this withdrawal will be to give force
to the previous instruction TO Trevino
to resist any attempts on the part Of
the American commander to pursue
raiders across the border by force.
The subject will be a matter of inn
mediate consideration. There will
be no change in the policy of the gov.
eminent, however The MeXicans
will either have to see that these
raiders are prevented from crossing
the border, or take the responsibility
of any attempt to oppose the United
States forces in carrying out the in
structions given to Gen ord.

SATURDAY, JULY q, 1877.

The Herald is wonderfully eXer-
eiSed lest we may attach some polit-
zeal significance to the fact that sew
eral gentlemen whom it names dlned
at neighbor Browning's the other
day, and then event out into the
Wilderness" We are willing to
please the Herald so far as to admit
that it was not a very significant"
party; in fact not to put too fine a
point upon it, it was rather an IN
significant party; but in the interest
of truth we mnst say just the kind of
party, considering hon. accidentally
it was reinforced here, that we think
needs watching.
Evidently the Herald thought so
too, and sought to forstall censure for
its share of the responsibility of the
meeting of such characters here, by
declaring that their visit had no "po-
litcal significance" AS they "took
to the wilderness" Immediately we
do not think the apology of the Her.
aid was needed, but we can appre-
ciate its anxiety not to be "mixed
up" with their being here. In the
mean time, as a mental exercise, we
propose the following conundrum
When did such party ever gather
before, except among the 'simple
people of Garrett" that such gather
ing had "no political significance? ?"

Official reports have been received
by the Treasury Department of the
seizure and detention of the schooner
Kissing Sun off the Cuban coast by a
Spanish armed vessel also Of the
arrest and confinement of the Captain
Of the Ellen Rizpah. An agent of
the Spanish Government, it is ru-
mored, has sought to effect a compro-
mise with the owners of the latter
vessel, who live at PrOvincetoWn,
Mass, which was refused on the
ground that it was an affair of our
Government, by which only it could
be settled.

The toneof Democratic newspapers
in the South just now is very friend
ly towards the negroes, with a
provisO. For instance, the Charles
ton IS. g. Ne,cs and Courier says:
"The Democrats of Charleston are
the friends of the colored people, and
will be as long as they will let them.
The Democrats wish to give the
colored people, as frinds, a good
school system, a fair shara Of the
offices, and an equal opportunity in
making a living, and the Democrats
can secure these things to the colored
people. But and it is big "but," if
the coIored people will always vote
against the Democrats why, then,
the colored people must take care of
themselves !"

Dispatches were received OF the
War Department on Saturday which
tell of what is represented to be an
important success achieved by Gen.
Towards command over the hostile
Indians in Idaho. Chief Joseph with
his entire force was found in an
almost inaccessible defile near the
mouth of the Cottonwood, where
they were attacked by the United
States troops. After a severe fight,
which seems to have continued
almost the entire day, the Indians
were completely routed, with the
loss of thirteen killed and a large
number wounded. The losses on the
part Of the troops were two officers
wounded, and eleven enlisted men
killed and twenty nine wounded.

According to tabular statement
in the New York Heard the total
valuation of the exports of meat
from the United States-that is, beef
in quarters and mutton in carcasses
during 1876 was 81 ,S55, 191, against
S4,O62,0S5, for the same class of ex-
ports in 1877. But to this years
cOnsignments must be added $3.50
head of live sheep, valued at $4,000,
and G,2lO head Of cattle, valued at
S497 500, shipped to London, Liver
poll, Glasgow, Hull and Bristol.
This brings the export valuation for
1877 up to S5,5S5,675. The live stock
now being shipped can be held for a
market better than the fresh beef
during the summer months, as the
latter has to be sold promptly on
arrival. The experiment of shipping
fresh veal has already proved a sue
cess. In addition to the growth of
the European trade another market
promises to open for our surplus
bceves. y decree recently published
by the Spanish authorities in Cuba
reduces one half the import duties for
the ensuing six months on all beeves
horses and mules shipped to the
island form foreign countries. This
term commenced on July l, and will
principally benefit Southern and
Southwestern stock raisers.

Grover, the man who invented
Cronin and, in conjunction with that
individual, endeavored to steal the
electoral vote of Oregon in order to
secure the success of Tilden, is now
undergoing an investigation for
having purchased his election to the
United States Senate. The man who
would rob a people of their clearly
expressed choice, as Grover attempt
ed to practice upon these of Oregon
only lacks opportunity to indulge in
other outrages equally atrocious if
not far more shameful and repulsive.

STORM AND FLOOD SIGNALS.
WAsHINGToN, July 16.-Gen LIE,
Due, the new commissioner of agri-
culture, has strongly indorced, ana
will give all possible aid fora fair
test of the plan of storm and flood
signals by means of the telegraph and
cannon, to give certain, instant and
general warning of coming storms
mainly for the benefit of agriculture
during haying and harvest, and also
of commerce, and to give warning of
sudden, destructive floods on rapid
rivers. This system is said to have
been heretofore Endorsed by five Gov
errors of States, ten mayors of prnci-
pal cities, thirteen State agricultural
societies, five commodOres in charge
Of navy-yards and by Samuel F. b.
Morse, inventor of the telegraph.
Hon. VIM. Orion, president Western
Union Telegraph Company, some.
years ago offered to furnish free tele-
grams of coming storms and floods
to all towns establishing the signals
to test the system. The case will
now be laid before the Secretary of
War with the above recommends
tons, and any others which may be
sent by county and State agricultural
societies, and he will be requested to
order a test to be made at all forts,
arsenals, barracks and navy-yards,
in the pOpulous States, and if success
full the system may then be extended
by the local authorities at trifling
cost to every city, county seat and
principal town in the United States.

Just as we are going to press we
