COUNTY EXP ENSES.'

The communication over the signature OF
Jos. A fancy is of importance to oar people
from the reason that it condenses and COM
pares the items of expense in our county gov
eminent from SO TO '7s, showing the cause of
the continuous increase in the tax rate since
SO, and because it justly removes all suspic-
ions of the fidelity Of the Commissioners that
might arise from only careless consideration
of the whole case. When the subject was first
criticised by our esteemed correspondent, IA.
B. D." it was neither captousness nor the
impression that any unjust structures were
intended which led us to take issue; but it
was the rather ambiguous tone of the letter,
| which, unless explained, might have led to
very hurtful estimation of the Commissioners
which prompted our comments. We believe
| that the reputation Of our officers should be
at all times protected when in danger of being
misunderstood, but should they abuse their
trust we should not be found wanting in at
| lacking the same.
| 1t is true that our expenses are heavy and
that there is room for reform, but that reform
must be made by the Legislature, yet we do
not want only the advantages of 49, We
prefer '78 with it's high taxes to that time, still
we will hail with our most earnest support any
safe plan that will secure better government
| at a less cost.

THE TWO PARTIES.

Especially at this time, when the election is
so near at hand, is the thorough unitedness of
the Democratic party of this District most
comforting omen of our success. And again,
rs the Republicans of the District have der
elared to run the campaign on their own
"hook" and independent of the powers that
be- in the Custom House in Baltimore we
gather fresh hope from the discussions and dis
cords in the ranks Of the enemy. The COM
parisou between the recent meetings of the Re-
publican and Democratic State Central Com
mi.tees is very interesting because of the har-
mony Of the Democratic Committees deliber-
atoms being in beautiful contrast with the
chickering's, hot-headedness and quarrelsomenes
us great advantage over the already weak
cned opposition.
To-day among the Democrats in Mon,gom-
cry county, where factions have been most
feared, there is nothing to be found which in
the least smacks Of the spirit of "rulo or ruin .
The aspirants for Congressional nomination
and their friends are conducting vigorous
canvass, but that canvass Is free from spites
and prejudices. The vote at the primary
election will be fair test of the personal pop
ularity OF the nspirants, and no matter what
the result. OF said primaries the Democracy OF
this county viii hail the decision as wise, Just
and worthy united support. There will be
no splits or apathy down here. There will be
no traitors In the ranks, but there will be the
hardest OF work for the nominee of the par
by. We are proud and jealous of the reputa-
ton OF being the motive power OF the Sixth
Congressional District, and with Montgom-
cry county man TO work for we will at the
election win new laurels on which to rest our
honors. Let the Democracy of the other coun-
ties emulate our example.
Matthews, one of the oracles of the Mary
land Radicals, SAYS that Radical hope is CEN
tired on the Sixth District, and that tina, hope
will prove vain unless the Thomas wing OF
the Radical party be put down. With this 10
convince US that the enemy is not well prepar.
ed for the contest, with the quiet incur own
camp TO convince US how ready we are, and
with the strongest son Of the banner county as
our leader we eau enjoy a delightful rest Of
mind and send abroad the re-assnring watch.

There's a aching void within our hearts

Another Convention.

Mr.. Editor IL see from several communi-
cations in the SENTINEL that the result of the
convention at Rockville on the 9th ult., to
amend, alter or perfect the system OF holding
primary elections in this county, are beginning
to show the folly of attempting to force a pre-
viously concocted set of resolutions through
convention, with a chairman expressly chos-
en- for the purpose, and who, in ignoring all
other attempts to "amend or perfect" would
defeat the very object for which the conven- :
ton was called.
Among the manifold intricacies" of the
plan as adopted, is one that no Democrat can
be candidate for any Office without lirst hay-
ing asked the consent OF a self-constituted ex-
ecutve committee. Is that sol Let us see
The plan makes II obligatory on any Demo-
cratic candidate TO address note In writing

papers, should not feel disposed 10 address n
special note TO the executive committee inform
ing them Of the fact, and suppose the execu-
tive ommittee-ihrowing themselves back on
their dignity-should undertake TO suppress

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence Of the Sentinel ]
WASHINGTON, D. G. Aug, IL, 1878

WASHINGTON, d. G. Aug, IL, 1878.
The storm cloud has been upon us in all its
fury. Never before have the elements beat
upon our proud city with such wild frenzy as
was recently felt here. The day up to The af-
ternoon had been bright, when suddenly the
clouds gathered into heavy pail from which
shot crooked lightning, followed by crashes
of thunder and binding sheet of rain that
soon flooded the streets as river courses. Flash
after flash CLEANED through the descending
torrents, and the thunder deafened at short in
tervals, its shafts SCATTERING trees and houses,
while the wild wind rose and howled and tore
down our beautiful avenues, uprooting trees,
wrenching off house-tops, demolshing unnn-
ished buildings, aud precipitating their force
upon and crushing neighboring dwellings. -
Meanwhile the icy hail in the torrent of the
wind dashed INTO windows, destroying count
less panes of costly plate glass, whilst from
the mercless pelting great numbers Of our lit
tie sparrows were battered to death. From
the swollen waters sewers gave way, cellars
filled and some of the finest buildings in the
city suffered, among them "Castle Stewart"
a magnificent building, whose great roof was
seen TO rise and then settle back again, leaving
breach through which the rain poured and
ruined the elegant frescoed ceilings Of the up
per floors. But one life is known to have been
lost, that OF colored woman whose house
crushed in upon her. The total loss of prop
erty is estimated at 800 900.
1t is generally understood that the Chinese
ambassador, soon to arrive in Washington,
TO take into consideration the settlement OF
the Chinese troubles along the Pacific coast,
has rented Mr. Stewards mansion, mentioned
above. The celes.ials seem disposed TO make
as fine display as any of the modern govern.
ments for which purpose they could not have
made better selection of residence.
The Commission appointed by Congress to
report bill for the reorganization OF the
army has been industriously at work, but with
ont any fixed result. The members, however,
have harmonized their widest differences Of
opin ions and from the concessions made the
country may look out for a recommendation
to Congress to preserve the army Mt $4,000
consolidate the regiments now but skeletons
and eliminate all unnecessary officers who are
now on big salaries. Such is the belief abou
the War Department from the reports received
Of the action Of the committee.
