GHAnother dreadful scourge is
threatening the Indian empire of
Great Britain. The want of rain has
prevented the growth ofthe crops and
as consequence famine, with all its
horrors, is spreading throughout the
Presidency of Madras. Already more
than 100000 have to be provided
for by the Government; and at the
lowest computation more than 100000
have already died from starvation.
These frightful visitations appear to
occur with unusual frequency, and
are increasingly disastrous in their
results. Last year public sympathy
was excited by the famine in Bombay
and other cities; and before even the
last echoes of that calamity have died
away, here is another district contain
ing at least 100000 people which
is threatened with devastation.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug 2S.-Sena-
tor Blaine springs to the front again, this
time with an invitation to Mr.. Hayes to
visit Maine. The party would have re-
ceived handsome treatment at the man
sion of the Senator, for he is justly es-
teemed one of the most accomplished
entertainers of the age Norman excels
him in those qualities which make 9TH
er men feel "at home" But of course
Mr.. Hayes had to decline the invitation.
Few men except Blaine would have sent
it under the circumstances.
The laboring men Of Maryland, espec-
tally ofcitics, are going into the political
campaign this fall with an apparently
strong organization. They express de-
termination to avoid alliances with all
existing political parties. They cannot
ofcourse elect enough members of the
Legislature to materially affect the leg
islation of the State, but a compact or,
ganization of large and respectable
class must indirectly produce excellent
results in many ways.
Speaking of Maryland I feel bound to
say, on authority of gentlemen 50 stu
ated as to know the facts, that there is a
vast deal of exaggeration in the late re-
port of DR.. Chancellor on the prisons and
charitable institutions of that State. DIR.
G. has perhaps taken the only course
that would have forced the State author
tiles to make needed reforms, but, aside
from reliable testimony alluded to above,
it is fair to say that his report gives inter-
nal evidence of going beyond fair states
ment Of existing evils. Now that the
people of the State are aroused, they
will, as far as possible, remedy all that is
wrong.
Gen. Garfield is in Washington He
goes hence to OHIO, and will speak there
during the campaign. Wells and An
derson of the louisiana Returning Board
are also here They come in the hope
of securing Administration interference
to prevent their trial for frauds connect
ed with their manipulation of votes in
Louisiana last year. 1t is hard to see
how Hayes can use the influence of his
position to help them, but they come in
the hope that he will find q way to do so.
At the War Department they laugh at
the reported danger to General Sher>
man from the Indians, and though not
in direct communication with him, they
are assured that he is entirely safe There
ks lively fear about Howard, however, as
his last dispatches failed to report tile ac-
customed victory If Gen. III. should
overtake Chief Joseph / will not
anticipate.
The late disturbances in many States,
and uncertainty as to the prospects of
business and labor all over the country,
will have accomplished one good result
if the people of other States shall follow
the example of those of Maryland in
their efforts to select citizens of high
character for legislative honors and res
sponsibilities. The time is at hand when
every section will realize the Importance
of having such men to represent them.
Maryland is setting an example that
every State should at once follow.

The Republicans have been for
years building monopolies, subsidiz-
ing railroad corporations, giving
away public lands, exempting bond
holders and other favored classes from
taxation and taxing the many for the
benefit of the few. The affairs of the
country are in deplorable condition,
but they tell us it is due to other
causes than their management of pub
lie affairs. We notice, however, that
they are very careful now to declare
in their party platforms that they are
opposed to any further land grants
or subsidies to railroads." and in IA
vor of "equal and impartial taxa
ton; economy, integrity, fidelity"
DC. Why this change of base if
their past course has produced no
bad results? If the policy heretofore
pursued was sound, healthy and ben
eficial in its operations, why not con-
tinue it? Why not donate more lands,
subsidize more railroads, exempt 9th
er classes from taxation and continue
the system generally?
The truth is they have brought the
country to its present PROSTATE and
suffering condition by their mal-ad-
ministration of public affairs and
these promises to pursue different
course in the future show that they
are aware of it. Promises of reform
are Acknowledgements of past errors.
Out of their own mouths they stand
condemned. They have been weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting.
Vote them down and shovel them un-
der.-Pt. Pleasant Reg.

a~-With the present abundant
crops and good markets,we see no rea-
son why season of business activity
may not be expected. The cotton
crop will amount to nearly 100000
bales. The Eastern war will neces-
sarily keep grain at good price, as
our principal foreign rivals will be
able to export but little, thus leaving
the field open to us. In England
wheat is thirty-three and one-third
per cent higher than it was one year
ago.

~The aspect of affairs has ma

The aspect of affairs has ma
terially changed between the contend
ing forces in the East, and it is now
very doubtful on which side there is
the great probability of ultimate vic
tory. Since the disastrous defeat at
Plevna, the Russians have lost ground,
which it will be difficult to regain.
In corresponding degree the Turks
have acquired both victory aud cour-
age. They seem confident of success.
and at present circumstances favor
them. There is prospect ofanother
great battle soon.

The people of a portion of the coun-
ties of Monongalia and Preston seem
to be fully alive to the necessity of a
railroad connection with the Balti-
more and Ohio from Morgantown to
Tunnelton, and are moving in quite
good earnest in the enterprise. This
is to be a narrow guage road. 1t is
needless to say that it will be of vast
benefit to the country through which
it passes Wheeling Register.
