Steam ThreShing Machine.

Mr.. Ed Browning is now operat-
ing a steam threshing machine in
Garrett county, the first and only
one ever brought to this county. A
short time since he threshed nearly
thirty-seven hundred bushels of oats
for Hon. H. G. Davis, at Deer Park,
in three and a half days, making
over thousand bushels a day. Mr..
Browning says this machine takes
fewer hands to thresh the same
amount of grain and does the work
better than the ordinary machines,
and that there is no danger at all
from fire.

speeches and the good honest doc.
trine. Our worthy candidate, Mr..
Urner, made very favorable i'm
preston, and there will be no uncer-
tain sound heard from Accident on
election day.
AT GAINESVILLE, more particularly,
the very bone and sinew of the par
ty turned out, and our candidate
for Congress made the most telling
speech of the campaign.
The organization of the meeting
was effected by electing T.. B. Fuller
President, and B. WeIfiey, Holmes
Wiley, 7. H. Bidinger, Mai. burst,
Sam'l j. Beachy and j. r. Patterson
as Vice Presidents, The Hon. Mil
ton G. Urner led off in a very effec-
tive speech, followed by Mr.. McCo-
mas, or Little Mac" who cleared
the desk and spread himself. The
Hon. Gummery being present as at
Accident. where the burden of his
little speech was fraud" Mr.. Nc
Comas, we suppose, considered it a
riDe opportunity to call the gentle
mans attention to the frauds in his
own State, and more particularly in
Montgomery county, and from indi.
cations we should judge the shafts
every one struck home.
The natural exclamation was that
it was the best thing of the campaign,
and was most heartily applauded by
every Republican present. 1t occurs
to us that the Democracy will hear Il
little less on the fraud" business.
A strong point Of Mr.. Urner's
speech was giving Mr.. Peter'S rec
ord in the State Senate; especially
his Uotiag against making School Com
maiSSiOnerS elective.
The Salisbury brass band was on
hand and performed very we'll in
deed.
Providence seemed to favor the
Republicans, as the rain commenced
falling soon after the meeting was
over, and continued necessarily all
night.
The good work has started auspi-
ciously, and we sincerely hope will
go on to a successful issue. Grants
willie means to be Grantsville of old,
as election day will prove.

AMERICAS SUCCESS AT THE PARIS
EXPos1TIoN.-The Department of
State has received a dispatch from
the U. S. Minister at Paris, concern
ing the exposition, now drawing to a
close. The minister says that the ex-
position has been eminently success
ful-in many respects the greatest
that has ever been held-and reflects
the highest credit on the French re-
public for being able, in the presence
of so much general depression, to
make so magnificent a display. The
minister says that we have Just reas-
on to feel proud of the American ex-
hibit, although it was not as large as
it should have been, and doubtless,
would have been, had the invitation
of the French government been
sooner accepted, and had the Con-
gressional appropriation been more
liberal. AS it is, United States will
bear off more prizes, according to the
number of exhibitors, than any other
country. We will take seven or eight
grand prizes, very large number of
gold, silver and bronze medals.
The minister pays the highest
compliment to the manner in which
Commissioner Mccormick has con-
Quoted the affairs of the American
department. He has united rare,
good Judgement, efficiency and econ
omy, to the most pleasing manners,
and has won for our exhibit the
highest concentrations from all
classes and nationalities. He has al
so been most happy in his selection
of his assistants, who have most zeal
Ously and ably assisted him in all his
efforts to worthily represent our
country.

The Baltimore Era, Democratic,
speaking Of the nominees of the
Democratic party for Congress in
Maryland, says 1.-THE candidates
are the offspring of as corrupt a
Ring, as ever existed in this country,
Boss Tweed's of New York, not ex-
cepted. They may not directly steal
and plunder, as he did, but the self
same bargainings and wire pulling to
keep in power are practiced. The
principle is corrupt, and men who
deal in corrupt principles must sure
ly be contaminated thereby. If a
man will stoop to fraud to obtain a
nomination, he will stoop to fraud to
get elected. If he will do either, he
is not to be trusted. The people have
become disguised and can no longer
be cajoled by party name, nor party
lash, in supporting the nominees of
cliques and rings they want men
chosen by the people, in the interest
ofthe people,"

YELLOW FEVER,

MEMPHIS, October THE de-
mand for nurses at the Howard AS
ISOLATION Headquarters to day has
been in excess Of the supply. The
present warm weather has tended to
favor the spreading of the fever, and

accounts of the condition of affairs.
Additional nurses were sent to Tus-
cumbia, Alabama Moscow, Paris,
Lagrange, Mason's, Brownsville,
Tennessee Garner, Mississippi, this
afternoon, and others will he sent to-
morrow. Appeals for physicians
from adjacent towns which have been
responded to have left a scarcity of
medical men in Memphis, and the
demand for their services is increas-
ing daily. The Board Of Health
officially report twenty.six deaths
from yellow fever during the past
twenty four hours, ending at 6 o'clock
t night. Undertakers report twenty
two additional deaths outside of the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 8, 1878.
The gross partizanship of Dem
ocratic members of the last House so
far as it related to the seating of
Patterson in Belford's place, has been
tittingly rebuked in the Colorado
election. The record made by most
of them during the session was con-,
elusive against any hope of reaching
them by the scriptural method of
punishment, for the many legislative
0utrages perpetrated and others that
barely failed the votes necessary toy
become laws. Instead of heaping
Goals of fire on their heads, it was a
waste ofammunition to attempt their
chastisement by methods that have
proved efficacious with the ordinary
run of transgressOrs. Indeed moth.
ing that did not directly appeal to-
their fears of being left politically
oVi cIStCh anu ASStIlcU lOI lIl6 6ACeSSo9
into which they plunged during a
session that is undeniably above all
its predecessors, held out single
hope of a modification of the vicious
programme that it was apparent to
all they had consented to. But we
may hope such menace of their en-
forced retirement at the close of the
10th congress as comes from the State
they deliberately disenfranchised,
may exert an influence for good in
the session about to convene, and
impose restraint on those with
constituencies so hopelessly inditfer-
ent to the good opinion of the balance
of the country as to have given them
a denomination. The Colorado lesson
confirms that taught ny Oregon a
few weeks earlier, to the effect that
no party allying itself with oppres-
sive monopolies can hope to escape
the infamy they richly deserve by
consenting to such al unholy alli-
ance.

When Mr.. Peter reached Oakland
his presence was the signal for a furi-
Gus outbreaking between the rival
Democratic factions in Garrett. One
crowd captured the gentleman, and
the other crowd sulked. Then there
was a fight over the organization of
the meeting. Altogether, they made
it very lively for the candidate, who
must have concluded that the DEM

The victory of the Republicans in
Colorado is ascribed, and we have no
doubt justly, to the action of the
Democratic House of Representatives
in unseating Bedford, Republican
Congressman from that State. last
winter. Bedford was clearely elected,
and the action of the House excited
great Indignation among honest men
Of both parties. The result is not
without its moral for machine politi-
clans in other localities.-BdH0. B,tE-

CON NECIlCUI TOWN ELECTIONS.
NORWICH, CONN, October THE
result Of the tow n elections in eastern
Connecticut is to leave the same
parties in possession of the local gov
ernments as last year. In this town
the vote on assessors last year was
Republican 1,451, Democratic 1874,
Greenback 104. This year it is Re-
publican 1,484, Democratic So,
Greenback 4S7. There is an insight
ficant Greenback vote outside of this
town. Not one town in ten has a
separate ticket, and not one-twen-
tieth Of the vote in such towns is for
Greenback candidates.
A remarkable feature of these cleo
tons is the development of the pro-
hibitorv sentiment. Norwich and
New London THE only cities, and
nearly all the large villages east of
the Connecticut river have voted
mo licen'e."
MERIDEN, CONN, October THE
town election to-day resulted in a
complete revolution. The entire Re-
publican ticket was elected oy three
hundred majority.
HARTFORD, CONN, October 81
A. M.-Returns from town elections
are meagre, but so far as reported
there are Republican gains. No Re-
publican town yet heard from has
changed its vote, which is due prob
ably to division of Democrats by the
Greenback diversion. In several
towns considerable Greenback vote
is cast.
In this city the Greenback vote is
between 500 and 900, but the Demo-
Gratis elect a majority of town Off
GERS, though the candidate for First
Selectman succeeds by less than fifty
plurality, which is loss compared
with last year of nearly eight hum
dred.

The following is from the Grant
County Gazette, Petersburg, West
Virginia, July 16, 1878:
DIR. w. F. FuDdenberg, of Cumber-
land, is practical Oculist and aurist,
and is worthy of the attention of
those who are afflicted with diseases
of the eye and ear, including those OF
the nose and throat. DIR. +. was
lately the resident surgeon of the
New York Eye and Ear Intirmary,
where he made himself reputation
second to no other surgeon IN the
country. During our residence in
Cumberland we witnessed the Doctor
extract diseased eye from mans
head, and it was one of the neatest
and most scientific operations we
ever saw. The man came to the Doc
tor with one side of his face swollen,
the left eye entirely blind from a
chronic disease. The eye had to come
out or the sight of the other would
be lost. The man submitted to the
operation. Lying on lounge, and
being put under the influence of
chloroform, the Doctor applied a
curved blade to the optic, aad in less
than one minute the ball was in
glass of water. The man never felt
the least pain after he was restored
to consciousness. Tying up the
vacant socket the man went home
several miles from Cumberl and-and
in two weeks returned to the Doctor
for the purpose of having glass eve
inserted. twas done, and so hand
somely done, that no one can tell one
eye from the other. We recommend
Or. Fundenburg to the public.

Dobbie's store was destroyed, but

store. The estimated loss on the
stock Of goods destroyed is $4,000,
the insurance being $4,000. The
building was insured for $1,000, and
the saloon building for 81, 800. The
furniture in Mr.. Weber's house was
all destroyed, 1t is thought the fire
