the windows. Louisie aud several female
companions were terrified by the riotous dem

be tarred and feaihered Two tainted, one
went INTO Mysteries, and one fired revolver

20 quit the city on the next day, and the ex-
uitant students marched away, cheering over
their victory. Neither the Police nor the
college authorities have yet made any move
toward furnishing the offenders. II the con

TO the teachings of the peculiar institution.

OOlOred Suffrage.

The proposition to take away from the
colored people the right Of voting seems to
be gaining ground among Republican lead
ers. A strong editorial appeared 10 the
Philadelphia Press since the elections, urg-
ing that it be done, and Boutwell, of Mas
sachusetts, in late speech, took the same
ground. Similar views have often found
utterance in Republican organs, and the
indications are that the policy win at no
distant day be generally adopted by the
Republican party. The vote was given to
the colOred people originally with view
to cripple the Democratic party and to
humiliate the South, 10 whom the measure
was presumed to be particularly distasteful.
But the Southern people wisely went to
work TO convince the colored people that
the interests Of both races living together
in contiguity we're identieally the same,
and in great many instances they have
succeeded. Thousands of colored men in
every part Of the South vote the Demo
cratic ticket, because they believe it is
their interest and duty to do So The ne
gro vote gives to the South about thirty
more Congressman than it would other
wise nave, and that much additional rela-
tive influence in that body; and Southern
whites, at first opposed to negro suffrage,
are now in favor of it, and would not have
1t repealed

With this issue begins the 18th volume
Of THE DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE. TWAS
founded in November, 1865, and since
March, 1868, has been under its present
management, during which time it has
been twice enlarged. 1t has steadily adj
yanced in popular favor, until its circula-
ton is nearly treble what it was in 1868,
and equals that Of any country weekly in
the State. With the increased space con-
sequent upon the several engagements, it
gives more reading matter than any Of its
weekly contemporaries in Maryland, aud
Of character at once reliable, interesting,
useful and instructive. Upon no other
journal In the State, perhaps, is 50 much
care bestowed in the general contents and
makeup as upon the ADVOCATE It's
weekly compendium Of news Is concise and
comprehensive, and embraces all events of
interest. It's local columns are full, and
contain all current events of public i'm
portance in Carroll, especially, and adjOin-
ing counties. In the editorial columns are
discussed with calmness and fairness all
matters Of political importance to the State
and nation, and other topics of the day.
The miscellaneous department is filed with
choice reading, including poetry, stories,
notes of travel, historical and biographical
sketches, useful recipes, wit and humor,
and a great variety of other articles, whilst
weekly space is devoted to the farm and
garden.
Hereafter the ADVOCATE viii be under
somewhat changed prOPrietOrship, c. H.
Yanderford, at one time connected with it,
and for FIVE years past editor of the old
Commonwealth, at Harrisonburg, Va, be-
coming half owner The course and poll
cy Of the paper will not be changed, how
ever, but with this new addition ofeditorial
force and business capacity, it is expected
that the ADVOCATE win be further COM
mended to its patrons, and enjoy larger
circulation, exercise greater influence,
and meet that share of public patronage to
which its merits entitle it. In the future,
as in the past, it will be found an earnest
advocate Of Democratic doctrines, faith
ful supporter Of the constitution and laws,
and in favor Of an honest, just and econOm-
ical administration of County, State and
National affairs.
The facilities for printing have been in
creased by a large addition of type Of the

Peter came near losing every county in
his district. He carried Garrett by two
votes only, and his own county, Montgom-
cry by only 273. This result shows the
importance Ct harmOnizing party instead
of distracting it. Conventions assemble
ostensibly for the purpose of making the
best and most judicious selection of can
didate, one most in accord with popular
sentiment. Instead of that, they fire.
quently make the worst selection possible
TO be made Instead of deferringto pub
lie sentiment they set it at da6ance, and
thus insure dissatisfaction and defeat.
Such peryerseaess as this ought to destroy
the fair standing Of those guilty of it, and
would do so, if party organization vas
what it should be- Here was district
which might have been retained by the
Democrats, by the nomination of either of
several gentlemen who could have carried
It beyond doubt. But, a headstrong
Incorporating spirit ruled the conven-
tiou, instead of a spirit Of concession and
harmony and an honest desire to. select
such 8 candidate as could unite the whole
strength Of The party instead of weakening
it. 1t is to be hoped that the leading men
viii be cured Of such folly by the time
another convention meets, or else that there
be no convention at all, and let the people
make their own selection at the polls, from
all who choose to come bcforc them to So
Eeit their suffrage.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
JACKSONVILLE, Nov

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 18th, 1878.
Though an ''old bachelor" myself il was
with pleasure and throbbing heart strings.
that ! received an invitation to attend the
nuptiais of Miss Sallie r. White, of this coun-
ty, and a descendant of one of the oldest fam
lilies of Maryland, and Mr.. s. Olin Richey.
formerly Surgeon of the Eye aud Ear mfr
mary of Chicago, but now of New York Ave
nue., Washington, ID. G. The ceremony took
place yesterday, 18th inst, at the residence
of the bride, and was conducted by the father
OF the groom, Rev. +. II. Riehey; of Wood
stock, Va, and Rev. Mr.; VIM, of Washing.
ton, ID. c. The toilet of the bride was plain
yet elegant, the dress being a rich garnet
Eilk, trimmed with silk velvet Of the same
color. The groom was in full dress, No
attendants.
Among the relatives of the bride present,
were Mr.. and Mrs. White, her brother, Rich
ard White, wife and daughter, Misses Euge
MIA, Mollie and Emma Colt, of Montgomery
county, Miss Gott, of Annapolis, Nd, DR..
White and sister, of Dawsonvile, and Miss
-Dade. Among the groom's relatives were
Rev. L. IL. Riehey, of Va, and I. b. Rich
ey, of Carroll county. The bride was the re-
cipient ofaeveralh handsome presents, notably
uniquegoid brooch, set with thiriy-six pearls. a
neat gold pin. representing vine entwining a
twig with 3 leaf attached bearing seven ,in,s
of gold, costly toilet set of pure ivory in a
easket, and other minor articles The groom
was presented with \ gold-headed cane, by
DIR. Brewer.
After the happy couple were made "one in
twain which occurred at q p. ~, refresh
ments were served, and ''all was as merry as
q marriage-hell." After eongratulaiing my.
self, las well as the bride and groom on my
narrow escape, took leave Of the company
and host and ''went my way better If not a
wiser man, to battle with life's tolls alone, for
a season, but with faint hope Of at last find
ing refuge In the same channel.
In this county the absence of fine barns
aud cleanly fields are noticeable. Farmers
here own from 800 to 300 acres of land, and
actually try to farm it all. Would il not be
better if they were 10 divide their estates Into
small farms and s,ttle the country? If this
had been done before the election, perhaps
Geo. Peter would have been elected to Con
gress, provided the proposed settlers had
been Peter men. The farmers here are now
using lime freely, which, think, in connec-
ton with the rubbish and underground as
food for the lime to act on will improve the
land, but it will be long time before some
of 1t can come up to portions of Carroll.
Yours, Dino.
