Democratic Meetings in Carroll County.

We again call attention to the Demo-
cratic meetings announced to take place
in this county. Dir. Talbot opens the
canvass to-day at Hampstead, at 2 o'clock,
p. m. and at Manchester tonight, at 7
o'clock. Ga Monday night he viii be in
Westminster and viii speak in the Court
House. He will be at Silver Run, on
Tuesday night; at Carrollton, on Thursday
night; at Union Bridge and Hyson's Store
on Friday night, October Is. All who
desire to hear the issues of the present
canvass discussed by Mr.. Talbot and the
several gentlemen announced to assist him,
should avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded by these meetings, as the election
is so near at hand that other meetings are
not likely to be called in this county.

Political Affairs.

Senator Thomas f. Bayard, Of Delaware
who has been on a visit to New York for two
or three days past, was reported as saving tc
gentleman on Wednesday, in course of cas-
ual conversation, that he thought it probable
that three Presidential candidates would be
in the field in 1880, Republican. Democrat
and Greenbaek candidates. 1t was possible
too that the House of Representatives would
be called upon to elect the next President.
II General Butler is defeated in Massachu.
sets for Governor, Senator Bayard thinks
that 1t will be a serious blow to the Green.
back cause. He thinks the political outlook
is about as favorable for Democrats as Re
pnblicans. The Senator also, said he be.
iieEed in honest money. The Republicans as
we'll as Democrats of New York, agreed with
him on that point. He did not think it would
be good policy TO indulge in any doubtful
financial speculations, now that the COUNTRY
Is on the verge of resumption.
The Hagerstown Mail says:-We havehad
opportunities to know Mr.. Hamiton's opin.
ions and position upon the present political
situation in this district, and it is well known
here that he supports the nominee of the
Democratic Convention for Congress, and
viii actively participate in the canvass By
speaking where his efforts may be most eff
eienl IN this county, and Yheresoever else i
may be desired.

The Baltimore Gazette says The
friends of Mr. Milligan, the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Second
District, are trying to palm him off as a
Democrat. Mr.. Milligan was Democrat
before the war. lie Joined the Republi-
can party in 1860 and held at one time
the Office of Deputy Collector under Re
publican administration. True to his re-
cord he is now antagonizing the Demo
cratic organization. He can only be voted
for as Republican and an opponent of
Democracy. Should he by any chance be
elected he would vote and act with the
Republicans and his success would be ac-
counted Democratic defeat.

The Coming WNTER.-The Newark, n. j.,
Advertiser, says Every body who processes
10 be weather wise has commenced predict
ing, and the general run OF the prophecy is
in favor of a long and cold winter. The spur.
rels, we believe, are laying in an extra sup
ply Of nuts, the moles are burrowing a little
deeper ia the ground, and there are other
signs and wonders which hundred years ago
stood in the place of science, aud which yet
bold teuaeionsly to the faith of many as sure
signs Of coming events, yet if winter does not
back up prediction any better than September
has so far done, then the prophets will have
to hide their diminished heads or look for
other more reliable indications.

THE PROPER REMEDY.-Tf the fnan-
cial policy of the government is to blame
for the hard times, let it be remembered
that the Republican party alone is respon-
sible for that policy. The Republican
party has controlled the government for
nearly twenty years, and if things have
grown from bad to worse in all that period,
the remedy is to take the reins of govern
ment out of the hands of the Republicans
and place them in the hands of the Dem
ocrats. This done, a change of policy and
a rigid economy in public expenditures
would ensue, and the country might rea-
sonably expect to enter again upon career
of prosperity

REMARKABLE cOsvULsIoXs or THE EARTH
The Gazette d Italia recounts 0 some
what remarkable change in the surface oil

distance southeast of Flornce In the course
of a few days the track on which the village
stands has gradually sunk, until the depress-

from making threatening divergences from

taken refuge in the fields Strange to say

The yellow fever shows no signs OF
abatement in the southern cities and towns.
On the contrary it is spreading into the
country and among the villages. The
scourge is an awful one. Words are in
adequate to describe the suffering and the
sorrow of that stricken people The angel
of death thrusts in his sickle and the in
habitants fall by the thousand. The num-
Der of the death-roll is fearful. The SYM
pathies of the whole country arc aroused
in their behalf, but human sympathy can
only partially alleviate their suferings, it
cannot remove them.

that Mr.. Talbot will have an easy victory,

IA CONTINENTAL p4N."-It is not
profanity, - has been supposed, TO make
use of this expression. The Baltimore
Underwater gives the origin and meaning
of it as follows
The old continental currency was so coarse
ly printed that imitation was easy. Hence
there were counterfeiters in the early days of
the Republic even as there are to-day. At
the close of the Revolutionary War, the Gov
erpment called in the continental money, and
with it, Of course, were found large number
of eounterfeits. On each of these, as receiv-
ed, was stamped the word ''dam, :" contrac-
ton of the Latin ddmRdfus condemned. }
Hence the force of the expression, mot
worth continental DAM for if a genuine
continental note was worth but little, a con.
iiDental dam was correspondingly worth
less, - Baltimore URderqcriter

the deplorable restitution existing in New
Orleans, has renewed his order Tor the is-
sue of 10000 ratiOns in that city. SINH

Economy in the national expenditures
is what overrides all other considerations
now. The Democratic party with but one
House of Congress in its control, succeed
ed in saying thirty millions of dollars in a
single year. With the control of both
Houses Of Congress reforms and retrench-
ments would be introduced, saving at least
fifty millions per annum to the govern
ment. Is not such a saving worth the
consideration of our tax -burdened people +?
