quiet and transformations performance
of the duties of the office to which he
was not elected
Were the people called upon simply
to say how well or how badly these
men have succeeded in their efforts,
there need be little hesitation in saving
that the call would be really unneces-
sary The decision could not be doubt
full. But the people of Maryland have
a higher and grander duty to perform.
1t rests with them in the coming Fall
election to say whether they will give
countenance to the fraud perpetrated
upon the sutfrages Of the State, by
sympathizing with the authors of it
and by strengthening their power,-or
condemn it by turning them down and
consigning them to the oblivion they
so richly deserve Shall the fraud be
condoned? This is the question:
Shall the authors and beneticiaries of
the fraud have license to repeat it, as
they certainly will do if they are not
rebuked firmly and effectually? A
weighty responsibility rests with us
to-day. The rights of the citizens Of
Maryland were violated in the elevation
of Carroll, and it is for US to say wheth-
err it shall be allowed to occur again
Are we to be free citizens or tribute
bearers to Mike Bannon's ring? We
trust the people will not hesitate about
the answer they should give. How can
they stop to question? Let them give
their hearty support to the Republican
nominees and they will condemn Ring
ism, and in condemning it they will
condemn the great fraud of 1875, its
authors, promoters and beneficiaries -

AS an admirable specimen of keen,
concise and epigrammatic English, cut
from the New York "Times,' we
commend the following comment on
Semmes, " final taking off" to the care
ful reading of the especial friends and
admirers of the deceased pirate:r
Raphael Semmes is dead at the age
"of GS. Had he followed the trade of
"piracy against a less generous people
he would have died twelve years ago
"The foreign power which gave him
the means to sink, burn, and destroy
the merchant vessels of the United
States, has paid for its disregard of
the Law of Nations the domestic
"rebelliOn which furnished him an ex-
"cuse for taking up the trade of muir
der and robbery has been forgiven.
Let US, then, remember only that the
Captain of the Alabama was a gal
liant sailor and brave man; that he
had the good sense and the good taste
"to keep out of politics, and that he
"has never esteemed it to be the duty
"of Southern patriot to spurn the
"clemency and revile the motives of
"the long-suffering power which per-
emitted him to die in his bed"

ist in America, made his exit from
this planet, where he had acquired
millions of money, and bat few dis

day, and had for long time been SUIT
feriDg from serions DplfcatioHsr of
diseases. Twenty years since he re-
ceived q very severe nervous shock
from q railway accident, from which
he never fully rallied. If he had not
taken good care of himself, IL Is thought
he weald have been in the cemetery
long since. From his early manhood
he had always been very temperate,
never drinking anything hut light
wine, and that sparingly; eating mod
eratsly of simple food at proper hours !;
going TO bed betsmes, and exercising
abundantly in the open air. He had
always supervised his immense busI-
mesa, aud for many years has had bis
