ELKTON. DECEMBER L, 1877.
WE hear but few good words for
Patterson
THE Democratic papers begin to call
him MIR Patterson.
SECRETARY THOMPSON recommends
an increase of the Navy.
In France, it is considered probable
that the Ministry will soon retire.
GIVE the Democratic party little
more rope, and it will hang itself.
bone and its value is apparent now.
In isn't Patterson and Conovan that
the Democrats want. It's their votes.
The West cast forty-one votes Iii Ia
vor of Resumption, and only thirty-nine
against.
The Turks have been repulsed in an
attack on the Russian Twelfth Corps
near Plevna.
THE South solid against Resumption
means the South solid for Reputation
when the time comes.
PATTERSON prefers the Democratic
party to the penitentiary, but both are
liable to embrace him.
GOVERNOR HAMPTON, of South Caro-
lima, in his annual message, favors pay
ment of the State debt.
ONE cause for thanksgiving, on
Thursday, was that the House of Rep
resentatiyes had adjourned over that
day
Mr.. EvARTs says he is willing to
meet Mr. Conkling half way in secur-
ing his cooperation with the Admins
tration.
THERE are rumors in Washington
concerning declaration by Congress
that Mr.. Tilden is President, in case
the Democrats get majority
PERHAPS General NJ c. Butler has
been trying some Of his Hamburg tao
tics upon Patterson-has, in short, been
bulldozing this prosecuted patriot.
The committee appointed to inves- |
tigate the election of Patterson to the |
Senate report that they have abundant
evidence that it was effected by bribery. |
PATTERSON says General NJ. c. But |
Ter didn't bul-doze him, but treated him |
With respect and courtesy. 1t was the
novelty of the treatment: then, which |
moved him
THE Senate, on Thursday, confirmed |
the nomination of the Hon. John L. |
Thomas to be Collector and William
Corcoran, ESQ, to be Naval Officer at
the Port Of Baltimore, and Hon. John |
VI. Harlan to be Associate Justice of |
the Supreme Court
THERE may he a fellow feeling in |
the friendship of Patterson and Butler
If Patterson is under indictment for |
bribery, Butter has an indictment for
murder hanging over him. The pot |
can not call the kettle black If the
two should be in the Senate together |
nobly South Carolina would be repre-
sented!
THERE is good deal of solidity in
the Democratic party in Mississippi, in |
spite of third party movements. The
Senate has only one Republican men,
Der, and the House only eleven. There
are four colored members in the Legis- |
lature, three of whom were elected on
the Democratic ticket, and one on the |
Republican.
PATTERSON is thorough going
Democrat, and 10 mistake While |
Conover wabbles back and FORTH and |
is almost as good an Independent as
Judge Davis, Patterson sticks by the |
Democratic cause every time. 1t will !
be the basest ingratitude to allow a !
cold penitentiary to fasten its grip upon
so faithful an ally.
1T begins to be tolerable clear now
what the solid South means. The vote |
against the Resumption Act show how |
easily vote for more direct reputation |
might be obtained from the same Sec
ton The Southern press is more and !
more clamorous every day for subsidies
and other appropriations for internal !
improvements, so that reputation will |
