LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Sunday Talk. Upon last Sunday while
churchill bells were ringing and christians were
vending their way to devotional sanctuaries,
the high priests OF the Republican party Of
Rockville and vicinity were holding a curb
stone caucus discussing the weighty matters

open counenance frightened and beauiified
by an expression of smiling conenment. He
surveys with unutterable beatitude the GER
tainty OF four more years employment in
deciphering superscriptons of letters Al
though the battle has been fought ii is said he
will keep on his coat of mail
The caucus was in session until late hour
in the evening, aud when it adjourned the
members started of in a satisfactory gait.
We suppose the patronage falling to the LOT
of the gallant little band Of Republicans in
Montgomery county, which always defeats
its candidate for Congress, had been divided
among themselves. We understand that
cabinet appointment was rendered to Francis
Miller, but he declined, fearing it would in.
