The Herald, with high and mighty air
which is truly refreshing, gets down from its ee-
waited perch to administer q rebuke to us which
has well nigh crushed us. We bow to its stupen-
dous wisdom and beautiful diction, but crave the
privilege of few words more before we are COM
pletely annihilated. 1t was $50 palpably irrele-
want as to be evidently malicious" mark the beau
tiful phraseOlogy of our neghbor,) for the Herald
man to class among the "outs," or to speak Of
our "lovely friends, the fns,'" when discussing a
question Of purely local character. So if we
have transgressed the rules Of prOprety the Herald
set the example by first CHASING us with factions
which exist in Baltimore city and in which we
have not the slightest interest in the world caring
not farthing who are ain" or who are "out"-
Thus, our wise and reverend neighbor-forw whose
stupendous intellect we have the most profound
respeet-did the very thing of which he accuses
us and in that way led US to "beg the question"
and refer to him personally. As to how many
districts Mr.. Msrryman or Mr.. Any-bOdy-else
carried we don't care picayune. A Democrat
who is as reliable as the Herald editOr-was our
authority for saying what we did, and we shall
continue to believe that he is correct until the
statement is contrOverted by authority other than
that of our neighbor.

S-The elections in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana and
West Virginia, which took place ON Tuesday,
proved complete surprise to almost every one,
particularly in the three first named States. Ohio
was carried by the Republicans by upwards of
10000 majority, and that party elects at least
twelve of the twenty Congressman, which is con-
siderable gain. Last year the State was carried
by the Democrats by $4,000 majority! In Iowa
the vote was very large and the Republicans car
ried the State by an overwhelming majority! In
Indiana the Republicans made the most satisfac-
tory gains, while West Virginia. of course, was
carried by the Democrats, though by largely de-
creased majOrities. This is triumph for hard
money Republicans over Democratic and other
Greenbackers, and is looked upon by hard money
men of both parties as the death blow to the
Greenback falacy.

ES- The Democratic newspapers of the 9th
Congressional district would make it appear that
the Greenback element in that section of the State
is not to be feared and that it will take as many
votes from the Republicans as it does from the
Democrats. If this is so why is it that the same
papers are counseling, nay begging, the Demo
Gratis to stick to their colors and to have part
or lot with the Greenbackers2 This looks very
much to US as though they are getting scared and
are only "whistling to keep their courage up"
The Hsgerstown Mail, one of the leading Demo-
cratic papers of Western Maryland is one of this
class, and its last issue contains number Of edi-
torial paragraphs warning the members of its
party what they may expect if they bolt the NOM
ination. One of these paragraphs reads as follows
"Any person claiming to be Democrat, who
will vote, at National contest, against the
nominee of his party for local or personal con-
"sideratiOns, is false to his professions"

NS~H Hon. William T. Hamilton, in letter, de-
MES that his conversation with Bulletin repre-
sentative relative to the chances of Mr.. Peter in
the 9th Congressional district, was correctly re-
ported, and tries to make it appear-after being
bulldozed by Mr.. German and others-that he did
not make use of the language attributed to him.
Yet the Bulletin as positively asserts that he did,
and stands prepared to prove it. We expect about
the truth of it is, Mr.. Hamilton meant what he
said at that time, but afterwards, seeing that he
had "put his foot in it. to speak, is now anxious
to repair any damage his language may have
caused. But all this won't help Mr.. Peter any
What Mr.. Hamilton stated in his interview with
the Bulletin reporter was undoubtedly true, and
that Mr.. Peter will be beaten in his district there
is now very little doubt.

Gs-Mr. Isaac Staples, of Saltwater, Minneso-
ia, has entered two horses for the fall races at
Pimlieo, and they are both said to be good ones.
Mr. S. owns grain and stock FARM of $50 acres,
is president of the Lumberman's Bank in Still
water, proprietor of saw MILL sash and door fac
tory, foundery and -four mill, besides owning
three-fourths of the boom and grocery and dry
goods store. Referring to this the Baltimore Sun
says "the fact that representative of this class
are coming to Baltimore, coupled with the fact of
so many strangers from various parts of the coun-
try being here at present, will give the business
men of the city an opportunity of extending their
business relations and infuse fresh life into our
fall activity"

Es~ The heightened Acklin, Democratic rep
resentative in Congress from Louisiana, about
whom there was such an unpleasant scandal in
Washington last winter, has been heard from
again, and this time he is in the hands of the
Executive Committee of his Congressional dis
trict (he having been re-nomiRated by the De-
mocracy,) who are investigating other charges of
gross immortality against him. This is a much
more serious scandal than the Washington affair
and the investigation will no doubt result in his
being compelled to get out of the way for some
more decent man.

His expenses far reported to have been 500,
900, and assurances are given that he will spend
ten times that sum rather than be defeated. A

Gs-Poor old Virginia, the "mother of Pres-
DENTS" is now bankrupt. Her public schools are
about to be suspended unless a loan can be had
for the purpose. The Governor is appealing to
the banks for aid but they are indisposed to re-
spOnd to his appeal majority of the Virginia
Democrats are Repudiationists, and there is a
strong probability that they will yet wipe out their
entire public debt by this easy process.

rs The "Hon." Nicholas J. Thorn--whO is
the Hon. Nicholas j., any way ?-is announced by
"Many Voters" in a card published in the S"n of
Tuesday, as an Independent candidate for Con-
gress in the I'd district ''Many Voters say he is
Gan Able, honest workingman," and he may be all
that, for aught we know, but then what does he
want to 20 to Congress for? 1t is to us incompre-
hensible why so many people want to go to Con-
gress when there are many honorable positions
which they might get for the asking.

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The editorial on
the State fair which we copied from the BoltimO-
rean of last week, has stirred up Mr.. Thomas B.
Dorsey, Secretary of the Society, and in Every
Saturday of 9Th inst, he gives his views as to the
truthfulness of the Baltimoreans statements. He
says:
"The Baltimorean of last week contains an edi-
torial on the State fair. As general rule de-
cline reading the BdttimOredRs editorials but this
being specially called to my attention l read 1t,
and desire to testify to it being tissue OF the
most unqualified lies published in any paper l
have seen for ten years. The paper states there
were 60 head of cattle, 90 horses, machines, l
engine and few other articles on the grounds
The actual figures l now give, and am prepared
to verify them by any required evidence There
were on the grounds at Pimlico 2i5 cattle, lS4
horses, ia sheep, Ill hogs, $50 coOps poultry,
and 3 acres hacked with machinery, among the
rest steam engines. That the attendance was
unworthy of Baltimore / freely admit. Whose
fault was that? Certainly not the exhibition
That the fair was not sufficiently advertised-ex-
cept in the Baltimorean-is a question will leave
to the Baltimore daily papers, and to the superin-
tendents of the city railways. The exhibition was
considered by every visitor the largest and finest
ever held at Baltimore, and strangers present ex-
pressed great surprise at the lack of interest taken
in it by Baltimoreans. 1 have stated that the ac-
count given of it by the petty sheet speak of was
an nJlashing lie IN toto and am ready to prove
the same at any time. 1t would hardly have done
for our Society to accept tamely the burden of such
an accusation, which must prove my excuse for
occupying so much of your valuable space.
Yours respectfully, Z. b. DORSEY,
Secretary State Agricultural Society"
We think Mr.. Dorsey has allowed himself to be-
come necessarily excited over what the Baltimo-
rean said. That papers statement as to the num-
Der of exhibits, &C., was undoubtedly wrong but
in the main what it said was the plain, unvarnish
ed truth, and is SO regarded by very large pro-
portion of those who visited the exhibition.

popular gentleman and makes friends wherever

membering there is a chance of his election.

8-The frequent mysterious burning of hay
stacks and farmers buildings has led to the dis
covery that they are set on fire by wasps' nests,
and that the nests are ignited by spontaneous
combustion. This is produced by the chemical
action of the wax in contact with the paper like
substance of which the nest is composed, a COM
parativey small access of oxygen being sufficient
to make il burst forth in blaze.
