"THE AMERICAN FARNER."-The September
number of this most excellent and reliable old
trimming full of useful and valuable information
which cannot help but be of service to every farm
er. The subscription price is only $3.50, or Sl.OO
to clubs of five more, and for the months of
October, November and December the publishers
offer to send the Farmer to any address for the
insignificant sum of % cts. These numbers will
be unusually interesting as they will contain re-
print of the celebrated prize essay of Edward Sta
bier, on the Renovation of WORKOUT Lands, "
which alone will be worth the price of ayears sub
scription. Samuel Sands Son, publishers, Balti-

re- The State election in Maine on Mon

gzS- The State election in Maine on Monday
last proved entire surprise to the Republicans.
The Greenback element in that State was known
to be strong, but it was not thought to be dan
gerous, and in this the Republicans fooled them
selves. There were three candidates for Cover
nOr-Republican, Democrat and Greenbaek-and
while the Republican candidate obtained great
er number of votes than either of the other two,
he did not get enough to give him plurality and
hence there is no election by the people and the
Governor will have to oe chosen by the Legisla-
ture, which will have Republican majority in
the two houses. This change in that old Repub-
liean State has most likely cost the party two
members of Congress, of them Hon. Eugene
Hale. The strength shown by the Greenbackers
in this election proved surprise to all and will
most likely have its effect in other States this fall
The movement is gaining strength rapidly in the
East and West and what effect it is going to have
the old political parties it is difficult at this
time to conjecture.

geS- The outlook in the scourged cities and
towns of the South is still of the most gloomy
character. There has been no abatement of the
fever, on the contrary it seems to be steadily on
the increase and the death-rate is truly appalling.
An eminent physician writes from Memphis that
the condition of affairs there beggars description
and that not one-half is told by the newspapers,
whose reports are in most instances very meagre.
The suffering and death is terrible. The gener-
Gus people of the North continue to subscribe lib
orally for the relief of the sufferers and thous-
ands of dollars daily being sent to the stricken
cities. There is hope ofrelief until frost comes,
which may not be before November LIST.

Hs-Thc Baltimore .S.aa has libel suit on
its hands, but as such things are becoming very
common, this don't seem in the least to dis
turb the equanimity of our staid and reliable old
neighbor Some time since it published a letter
from Port Deposit, giving the particulars of a dis
graceful row in that place, caused by number of
roughs from Baltimore who went there with an
excursion party. The manager of the excursion,
one Benjamin F. Hopkins, of Baltimore, took Of
Tense at the Suns account claiming that it injured
his business, and he therefore asks damages in
the modest sum of $1,000. The account publish
ed by the San must have been truthful because the
authorities of Port Deposit, after the dsgraceful
affair above alluded to had taken place, notified
Mr.. Hopkins that no more of his excursions would
be permitted to land there.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
NOMINATING CONVENTION.

The Democratic nominating convention of the
Second Congressional district met in the Odd Fell
lows hall, at Cockeysville, this county, on Thurs
day, the district being fully represented. Dr. f.
7. Shaw, of Carroll, was chosen president; John
W. Bell, of Cecil, VIM. M. Elliott, of Hartford and
DIR. George II. Cairnes, of Baltimore county, vice
presidents, and w. H. May, of Cecil and Philip
A. Kroh, of Baltimore county, secretaries.
The following gentlemen were placed in nomi-
nation: J. Fred C. Talbot, of Baltimore county /;
Geo. W. Cruikshank, of Cecil; ]. Carroll Walsh,
of Hartford, and Charles B. Roberts, of Carroll
Balloting at once commenced, the name of Mr..
Walsh being withdrawn after the second ballot
On the 265th ballot the vote stood Talbot s;
Roberts 6, and Cruikshank 5 necessary to choice,
10. Mr.. Dalam, of Hartford, then moved that the
convention adjourn to meet at Barnum's Hotel,
Baltimore, at u o'clock. This motion was stout
ly opposed by the Baltimore county delegation, as
it was apparent the object was to gain time in or
der to beat their favorite. The motion prevailed,
however, and the convention adjourned.
At the appointed hour the convention met at
Barnums and Immediately adjourned to Raine's
Hall, where the balloting was resumed. Up to1
o'clock 235 ballots were taken, making 535 in all,
and still no nomination, the vote standing at the
end the same as the last ballot at Cockeysville.-
Then, on motion, the convention adjourned until
81 o'clock Friday morning, and up to the time of
our going to press no nomination had been made
1t is impossible for us to say at this time what
the result will be- there being great difference of
opinion on the subject. We would not be sur
prised, however, if Baltimore county were again
cheated out of the nomination, this we think, be-
ing the object of the convention when it adjourned
from Cockeysville to Baltimore.
The Baltimore county delegates deserve credit
for sticking to their choice they have DONE and
as Mr.. Biddison expressed it, we believe they will
stay there until election day before they change
their vote.
