THE BIDS ALL REJECTED AND NKw ONES
TO BE ASKED FOR.
For building committee of Mt Salem
M. e. Church, met on "Wednesday even
ing, and opened and read the proposals
that had been received for the building
of a new church edlfice. When the COM
mlttee were appointed they were limited
in their expenses to $4,000, and as the
bids thirteen in number varied from S8,-
800 to $4,000 the committee took no ac-
ton in the matter at their first meeting,
but adjourned until last evening, when
upon careful examination of the bids,
and an interchange of opinion in regard
to them it was decided to reject all, and
advertise for new ones. The highest bid
was over $4,000, aud the lowest, So, 800
both bids being from Philadelphia par
ties. Upon an examination of the lowest
bid they found that before the building
was finished it would cost over S11 600
as the committee had reserved "a certain
amount of work for which bids were not
invited. Part of the committee went to
Philadelphia, to-day to see the architec i,
in order to ascertain if he could not make
some changes in the specifications, so
that the building would not cost any
more than the committee were allowed
to expend. If such a charge is made,
new proposals. will be advertised for in
few days
The following were the bids:-Ketcham

nominated for Governor by the Pennsyl-
vania democratic State convention at
Pittsburg yesterday, is the son of a
Methodist clergyman, and was born in

lex City, Md, where he taught school,
and at the same time studied law with
Judge Lynch. He was admitted to the
bar in 1865, and after practicing year in

cies of 1928. In 1869 he was elected to
the lower house of the Legislature, and

ing reelection in 1873. Though compar'
ahvely brief, his political career has
been a brilliant one, and he has won the
reputation of being one of the ablest
public men in the State, as well as the
democratic party.

WASHINGTON, May 23, 1878.
The investigating Committee is not
under way yet, but both democrats and
republicans are busily preparing for the
work OF inquiry. IL is understood that
General Noyes has already asked for
leave of absence, in order to come here
and confront any one' who may come
forward TO accuse him before the COM
mittee. Secretary Sherman has been in
consultation with leading republicans
and these say that they feel absolutely
certain that no wrong or gwen impro-
prlety can be brought home to the Secre-
tary. Mr.. William E. Chandler Is un-
Gerstood TO be engaged W tn the repub-
llcaEs in looking into the Florida case.
The democrats keep their own counsel,
bat il is believed that they are looking
over Isis of witnesses which have been
furnished them by Morton Tor the FLOR
ida case and by others for that OF Louis
lana, and preparing their plan OF opera
tions.
The republicans, in combination with
the 1exas delegation, secured control to-
day, of the army bill in the House and re-
stored The establishment to 70, 600 men.
They tried toamend the bill throughout III
keeping with the present establishment,
bu. the minority fiiibustered and delay
ed action to future day. 1t is probable
the bill will be recommitted with in
structions to amend it SO as 10 conform
its genel al features to an establishment
of % 900 men.
The Senate in executive session to-day
rejected the nomination of John B.
rockingham to be Assistant Appraiser al
the port OF New York. Mr.. Conkling
made speech against The confirmation,
in which he reviewed the circumstances
of the resignation OF Allen and the ap-
pointment OF rockingham. He referred
to the fact that the Committee on Com
merce had, after a careful examination
as TO FrothiEgham's character and quail
fications, submitted u unanimous report
recommending that he be not confirmed.
This he thought was safflcient to decide
the question, and he hoped Mr.. Frothing-

into ancient circles, and among the des-

Swami of Maryland and Mrs. j. w.
Thompson of Trenton, N. j. Gov. Swami
is nearly three score years and ten; his
scant looks are silvery gray. For many
years he was President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. In those
days he was politically Wing. Later
he became one of the pillars of the Know
Nothing party, and under the notorious
Plug Ugly regime was twice elected
Mayor of Baltimore. DuIing the war his
sympathies were with the South, and he
gradually drifted to the Democracy. Be-
ing rich and powerful, he soon became a
leader, and was elected Governor of
| M aryland.
While in that position he was chosen
United States Senator by the Legislature
but declined the proffered honor because
the then Lieutenant-Governor was Re-
publican, and he deemed it impolitic to
place the State Government in his hands,
After the expiration of the gubernatorial
term he was elected to Congress, and ia
now serving his fifth term in that
body.
| Only a few weeks since his will was
made public, wherein he bequeaths
about S3,OOO,000 to his children, grand
children and great grandchildren. Next
we hear of his approaching nuptuals
with the widow Thompson, re1ict of the
renowned President Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the man who raised
Tom Scott from obscruity, and to whose
position Scott has succeeded.
The great railway king left his widow
with ready millions. She is daughter
of the late Aaron Ward of New York, 8
sister of Mrs. Samuel j. Randall, wife OF
the present Speaker of the House. Mrs
} Thompson is one OF the most well-pre

If there 10 one thing more than

our people it has been the attempt,
by malicious parties, at a time
when Los Angeles was beginning
to enter upon her old career OF
prosperity, to disturb confidence in
the Farmers and Merchants Bank.
This institution has signalized its
history by many weighty and un-
obtrusive services to the commu-
nifty. 1t has never been managed
with more sagacity than now, or
with q more conservative regard to
the soundest banking principles.
or with more success from the
standpoint Of security to the public
and profit to the stockholders. The
statement of the Trustees of the
Bank, published elsewhere, not
only show the bank to be sound
but to be exceptionally safe and
trustworthy. The Eoening Express
has handled the matter so exhaust.

gleRs~us C"nirw..s.

We have heretofore dwelt upon
the facts that the erection of the
mammoth grain storing warehouse
of E. Maud & Co., the devoting of
the old Drum barracks Of Whining
ton to the same purpose, and the
general disposition upon the part
of our farmers to store and hold
their grain for fair prices, are
wholesome and encouraging indi.
cations. The excellent plight in
which our barley growers stand
this year is explained by the devel-
opment of forehanded and prcvi-
dent spirit amongst them rather
than by the superabundance of the
grain crop. This year, although
grain by the hundred thousand
sacks is already in store, our barley
commands eighty-five cents per
GENITAL as against sixty-five cents at
this time in previous seasons. The
fact that we have shown a little
self-relisnce has already operated
In our favor. In addition, we are
helped by the almost total failure
of the barley crop in the Eastern
and North western States. A
short time ago the anomaly was
presented in the Chicago Grain
Exchange Of barley quoted AT 81 II
against wheat at ninety-fv- cents.
Our farmers are this year assisted
by the demand for our barley from
the East and hy all exceedingly
remunerative market for their
corn In Mexico. Central and South
America. On the supposition that
our agricultur.sts We're free ofdebt,
we know of none of their class in
the United States who could rea-
sonabIy look forward to q more
brilliant future than they. The
mere increase of storage facilities
hus this year made our farmers in
dependent of the middlemen. To a
rigid economy which will get them
out of debt, to an industry which
is needed to enable the farmer of
the East to make bare living,
and to additions to our storage fa-
cllities, which set the middlemen
at defiance, the farming interests
of Los Angeles county may rea-
sonably look for robust prosper
ity. We are glad to be able to
make the perfectly true staten ent
that the condition of our agricul.
turists is to-day fully thirty per
cent. better than it was thought to
be two months ago. Those of our
farmers who hold their barley will,
very likely, get ST. 25 per GENITAL
for 1t.
