A New York letter of the twenty

a New York letter of the twenty
seventh instant says: 1.-THE suspension
of Messrs. Isaac Low & Co., cotton mer-
chants, OF Liverpool. has brought down
the house of James II. Falconer, their
agent in this city, who made an assign
ment this morning. The firm was also
represented in Savannah and New Or o.
leans. The Liverpool house, from first
to last, Is among the oldest in the
Southern trade, Its existence dating
back to 1910, or nearly seventy years.
1t did very large business with spin
ners in Manchester and other manu-
featuring districts in England. The
liabilities of the house are unknown,
no private or public cables regarding
the same having been received. The
failure has added to the dullness and
depression in cotton abroad, and this,
in turn, has reacted here, the market
receding to 11.l6 for Aprils, H. 80 for
Mays, and 11.47 for Junes. These
figures are regarded, even by the late
''Dears," as low for the staple, and but
for the political distrust, ard which in
creases every hour, there would pro-
badly be rally and better prices be
realized. AS 1t is production is being
cut down, and cotton, in the absence
of demand, either legitimate or specu-
lative, ssinks of its own weight. At
this moment it is reported that the firm
are liable for unprotected cotton,
known as Carnival cotton" 10 the value
of $50, 000."

The Cumberland NelcS of Saturday
says the incorporators Of the Cum
berland and Georges Creek railroad
met at Homecoming yesterday, and
transacted considerable important
business which may be stated in
three propositions, viz:
l. Acceptance ola proposition from
the Maryland and American com.
panies to ship the entire product of
their properties over the new road.
=. Execution of an agreement to
haul coal over the new road for one
and q hdf cent per ton per mile.
3. Execution of an agreement with
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal COM
pany by which the latter stipulates
for period of twenty seven years to
charge on coal brought to the canal
over the new road tolls of not more
than forty cents per ton.
The promoters of the new road are
very confident that they have Sc
cured in the above the conditions of
success for their enterprise. They now
propose to press the matter upon
those interested, with IA view to OBJ
tanning subscriptions to construct the
road.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-03-10

The prospects in this district are so
far very encouraging for a good, sub
stantial subscription list for THE
REPUBLICAN,. The first number has
given very general satisfaction, and
there is a general feeling of gratifica-
tton among Republicans. 1t pos
sesses already what our Republican
papers heretofore have failed to OBJ
tanned, that is, feeling of confidence
in its prosperity.
There has been of late a very graf
flying increase in the census of this
district, the Presidential compiled
ton Notwithstanding.
Mr.. MeIchoir Miller, one of our
largest farmers, lost a very valuable
COW a short time since. 1t was only
one out Of large number, but
"coWs are COWS" this spring, and it
would have taken a very good horse
to have paid for this one.
Mr.. John p. Spiker is making
preparations to build a large barn the
coming spring and summer. This
will be the finishing touch to very
desirable property. Desirable for
many reasons-conyenient to school
house, church and workshops, and in
good community.
That hickory broom which has
been exposed so long to the ''inclem-
ency of the weather." has gone to
meet the empty barrel.
Mr.. John L. Gnagey, who has been
quite i'll, has SO far recovered as to be
able to attend to his store again.
Mr.. VIM. Mosser, an old and esti-
mable citizen of our district died
Friday, I'd inst, of consumption.
An effort will be made at the next
session of Congress to change the
mail route now running to Deer
Park, to Oakland. The necessity for
such change has long been recOgni-
zed. GrantsviIle, Accident, Selbys-
port, JohnstoWn and McHenry will
be put in direct communication with
Oakland. 1t is to be hoped that Deer
Park will not make any objections to
what the people in this end of the
county so much desire.

The above propositions were con-
sldered, and the offer made by l..
Bush d Son was accepted.

The March number is promptly
received, and contains, beside the us
ual variey upon almost every branch
ofagriculture several embellishments
which cannot fail to be attractive
among them heautifully-colored
plate of a new Seeding Geranium,
named after the President of the State
Horticultural Society, and called Ihe
President PerOt; also portraits of a
splendid imported Percheron horse,
Cardinal, and of pair of the popular
breed of Poland-C China Hogs; be-
sides these there are cuts of fioricul-
tural and mechanical subjects. This
No. of the old Farmer will be found
OF unusual interest, especially as it
treats upon numerous subjects pecu-
liarly seasonable, including the farm
the vegetable garden, Horticulture,
&c. with instructions about fertilizers
seeds, plants, the grasses, spring crops
&c. and copious extracts from adj
dresses, and papers read before Gran

value just now, as showing the OBJ

WASHINGTON, March Am ex-
citing scene occurred in the Hall of
the House just after the Democratic
caucus had adjourned, which, under
other circumstance, might have lead
to tragic results, Aggravated, by
some Conservative remarks which
Mr.. Lamar had made, Mr.. Doug
lass, OfNirginia, went down to where,
Mr.. Lamar was sitting in his seat
and shaking his fist at him denounced
him as traitor to his party, who
had sold out TO secure title to his
seat in the Senate,
Mr.Lamar, observing the condition
in which Mr.. Douglass was paid no
attention to him merely remarking
that he was not in condition to be
responsible for his words. Friends
interfered, and Mr.. Douglass was led
away; but he soon found his way
back, and again commenced abusing
Mr.. Lamar. The latter gentleman
became eXasperated, and was about
to inflict summary punishment, when
NJ Caulfield and others, persuaded
him to retire from the Hall, and the
matter caded there, at least for the
present No further trouble is likely
to grow out Of the occurrence.

SO they procured the PARROT ten
