ED. REPUBLICAN In our letter
of May LIST, we spoke of a Mr.. F.
Lee, living near Chisholm's Mill,
having gone to Winchester to have
cataracts removed from his eyes. He
has returned and is now no nearer
seeing than when he started, though
much fatigued and worn out from
the effects of his long journey and
hopeless operation on his eyes. The
old man has our deepest sympathies
in his lonely and blind condition.
Mr.. Lees friends had made arrange,
ments with DR.. j. Lee McComas, of
Oakland, to take Mr.. L., to Balti-
more, and have his eyes operated on
by a very skilled oculist, but owing
to some of his family not being will
ing, Mr.. l.. concluded to go to Win
chester. We regret very much his
not going with DR.. McComas. Had
he went to Baltimore, to-day, we
think, he would have been able to
see his way.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

THE Frederick correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette tells ofan en-
counter in open court there Tuesday
between John G. Motter, states
attorney, and Charles Maulsby, an
attorney, opposing him. Mr.. Mauls-
by pronounced, to somebody near
him statement by Mr.. Motter,
false and repeated it on a demand
from Mr.. Motter, when the latter
struck him with the back of his hand
and they clinched, when other law
yers interfered and the belligerents
were arraigned for contemtp. In
consideration of his provocation Mr..
Motter was fined only $40, and Mr..
Maulsby $50, which he refused to
pay and was sent to Jail, in which
institution he has declared his inten-
ton, to rot sooner than pay the fine."
Monday evening just before dark
Mrs. Matthews, widow lady resi-
ding in Cash Valley, was riding on
load of hay, along the National road
near Clarysville, when one of her
sons, who was driving the horses,
thought it best to go off the road to
avoid a rough place, and in doing SO
the wagon was upset, throwing Mrs.
Matthews to the ground. One of her
knees was badly injured, but to what
extent we have not learned. DR.. G.
A. Fundenberg, of this city, was sum-
m oned to attend her.
THE CITY ELECTION.
The election yesterday for one
councilman in each ward of the city
pas,sed:off quitely, though the streets
were pretty well crowded up to a late
hour of the night by throngs of voters
excitedly discussing the events of the
day. A very large vote was cast
1904 ballots in all, 125 more than for
mayor last year and about two hum
dred more than the aggregate vote
for council-men at the same election.
The result shows a gain of one coun-

second ward between Messrs. Ra-

always gone Republican it is reason

MR.. EDIToR:-There is in Oakland
an institution that does not recei We
from the citizens of the place the at
tention it deserves. | refer to the
Garrett Literary Society. AT the
last meeting there We're only about
sixteen or seventeen persons present.
AS ! am informed the membership
is Tor Was) large, and, for time, the
attendance was good, but for some
reason or reasons, doubtless in many
cases owing to Indifference, many APP
pear to have lost their interest in the
Society, and seldom or never attend
its meetings. Cannot this state OF
affairs be remedie6? What is to
prevent the old members from re-
neWing their attendance and doing
what they can to infuse into the So
ciety new life and vigor. A well
conducted literary society is a bene-
fit to those attending it, and is inter
esting as well as profitable.
New features might be introduced
which would render the exercises
more entertaining and profitable
than they are present. These i'm
provements l, for one, should be
g ad to see made, and hope that de
batting will, ere long, be added to the
order of exercises.
Let there be new interest taken in
the society, not only by the mem
bers but also by those not as yet con-
nected with it. Let the members all
attend and perform the duties as
signed them, let others, both young
and old, become members, and let
US have flourishing society.

cial" but is written entirely on the

with good catches, and the champion

The remarkable testimony given before
the Senate Investigating Committee yester-
day settles the question as to who supplied
the press with information of the alleged
contents of William NJ Tweed's statement
to the Attorney General. The document
was read to Mr.. John Kelly, as the chief
financial officer of the city, by the Attorney
General and Mr.. Townsend, Tweed's coun-
sci, and its substance was communicated by
the Comptroller first to the proprietor and
subsequently in detail to the city editor Of
the World. Mr.. Kelly did not regard the
information az confidential. In this he
seems to be at variance with Mr.. Townsend
and Attorney General Fairchild, both of
whom have repudiated the idea that the
hitherto mysterious "third person who
was made acquainted with Tweed's disclos-
ures could be the leaky vessel in the affair.
Mr.. Kelly insists on the correctness of the
main points Of tho published statement, and
rciterates the stories duplicating Senator
Woodin in the alleged legislative corrup-
tons of 1870-7L
This testimony sets at rest all doubt as to
the character Of the revelations promised by
MI. Tweed, and of which he has skilfully
given the law officers of the State and the
public taste in order to whet their appe-
tites and induce them to throw open the
cage door and give the Ludlow street star
ling his liberty. No doubt the once ample
breast of the ex-Boss is the depository of
secrets that, if revealed, would create
frightful panic among those who in former
days bowed down before him and were
eager to do his bidding. Everybody be-
lieves this, and we can see no reason
why so much fuss should be made
because the veil has been raised and
the public has been afforded q glimpse Of
the Tweed confession. 1t has been charged
that Mr.. Kelly made public the information
he gained from the Attorney General for the
purpose of defeating the bills relating to
tho New York city government now pending
at Albany. Mr.. Kelly denies such an OBJ
ject but il such was his desire it is not
probable that he would succeed. The bills
now under consideration must stand on
their own merits and not on the personal
character of any of their supporters. They
promise to give US better and more
economical city government than we now
have and the bare suspicion that partisan
trick has been resorted to to cause their
failure should only serve to make their pas
sage the more certain.

At noon yesterday, while the Cathedral
clock was still striking twelve, the order
was given for the United States soldiers
who have SO long protected Packard to
march out of the building which he has
occupied as State House, and keeping
step to the music of military band, they
were Immediately on their way to the jack
son barracks. The city of New Orleans was
never more profoundly tranquil than at the
hour which marked the great transition
from an old to new era in the history Of
that great section of the Republic which we
call the South. The Gath of April, 1877, will
be ever memorable in our annals as ending
the political cycle which began on the 18th
of April, 1861, with the firing on Fort
Sumter by armed secessionists. During
this remarkable period Of sixteen years there
has not been day until now when the mill
tary power Of the United States was not in
some form exerted either to subdue or to
overawe the people of some portion of the
Southern States. Since noon yesterday every
Southern State is as free to control its own
affairs as is New York or Massachusetts,. We
are profoundly convinced that events will
vindicate the policy of President Hayes in
putting this final end to q state Of things
which, during the administration of his i'm
mediate predecessor, was scandal to
American institutions. We congratulate
President Hayes that he has succeeded in
converting into q fact the sentimental wish
of poor Mr.. Greeley about shaking hands
across the bloody chasm. We congratulate
both him and the country that he has been
the successful instrument, under Provi-
dence, Of realizing the memorable aspira-
ton of President Grant, in his first letter of
acceptance, ''Let us have peace" As be-
tween the two great sections of our common
country may it be perpetual

How HAPPY THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS must
be to have awakened such enthusiasm in New

is really affecting to read the expressions of
popular feeling in the letters which we print to-

their popularity the Mayor will attempt to dis
turb such useful oficials' We fear If he does
that such uprising of the people will take
