OAKLAND, May 30th, 1878.

EDITOR Republican, PLEASE al
low me space in your columns to de-
fend myself against the scandaIous
article of "Mizpah' in your last
weeks issue, which was conceived in
prejudice and no doubt has injured
my business with certain class of
people. This reformed blackleg, ETC.,
ETC., as is usual with new converts,
allows his zeal to run away with his
common sense, and he is doing more
harm than good as moral refOrmer,
by showing so plainly the cl0ven foot
Of hypocrisy. Thi- newly fedged
fanatic says: "There is but one IL
censed bar room in town there is
but one man in the community who
Is willing 70 engage in the disrepu-
table business but one man who de.
lights in breaking the hearts of our
wives and mothers who is willing
to clothe our children in rags; who
will pocket his neighbors last dime
for whiskey knowing it ought to be
spent for bread" AS / happen to be
the only hotel keeper in Oakland
who has license to keep bar at the
present time, this concelted seeker
after notoriety might as well have
called me by name. The commu-
nifty, and all who know me, will tes-
tify that / have always been a law

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday,
contains a very sensible article in
reply to correspondents who are dis
posed to find fault with that ably con-
Quoted journal, because it does not
see 1.-THE way to ousting President
Hayes from Office quite as clearly as
they do" and calls attention to the
facts connected with the case, and
concludes by saying:
"Unless the act Of January %, 1877,
itself was unconstitutional and void,
President he is, and it would seem
must so remain until the close of his
regular term, should he not resign or
death lnterp@se. The act was passed
by both houses, a large majority of
Democrats-and of the best lawyers
in the party-voting for it. 1t was
signed by the President. Five Judges
ID majority Of the Supreme Court
accepted and performed the duties
imposed oy II, thus atdrmlng Its con-
stitutionality. 1t is too late to ques-
ton now the validity of the act, or
what was done under it. The COM
mission may have erred as to the
facts and as to the law. But Con-
gress accepted their decision-that of
eight against seven-aS final. The
country so accepted it, and it is too
late 10 talk about Mr.. Hayes title
being prin1a .tacie merely, the deci-
sion being matter Of form, and that
nothing was settled-everything left
openly the electoral bill which the
whole country regarded as a SETTLE
meI7t, and not postponement merely
of the question at issue"

A striking illustration of the great
shrinkage in the value of real estate
that has taken place within the last
few years is afforded in the case of
Mr.. Nathan Matthews, a Boston
operator, who was worth some six
or seven millions in 1870, but has
now been forced into bankruptcy. In
these times real estate is one of the
good things of which it is possible to
have too much.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-At Sunny
Point, Panol1 county, Texas, on
Monday last, two negro children, one
an infant and the other about two
years of age, were killed and eaten
by a sow. The parents left the chill
dren in the care of a girl seven years
of age, and while the girl was play
ing in the yard the SOW entered the
house and seized the infant lying in
a cradle and dragged it cut and killed
1t. Before assistance could reach the
house the animal had killed the in
FAINT and attacked and eaten off "A
leg and arm Of the oldest child. The
latter lived some five or six hours af-
ter the horrible occurrence.-BdItO.

Rev. McEroe, pastor of the Irish
Catholic church at st. Clair, preached
a severe denunciatory sermon against
the knights of Labor, whom he
branded as Communists, whether
they went under the name of
knights of Labor or of Nationalist,
the society, he said, was organized
by a set of lazy lOafers who escaped
from France when law and order
again prevailed after the Communis-
tic outrages of 1870. The leaders
were too lazy to work, but according
to theories they would share the
earnings of the Door workingmen.
He concluded by advising members
of his congregation to have no deal
ings with demagogues. as they would
further the evil designs Of these I'M
worthy men.

The probabilities are that Garrett
county will gain a few citizens and
several acres of forest by the re-sur-
vey. The movement looks very
much like grab for coal land, or coal
towns. 1t would be funny if Iona

morning and find herself in Garrett,
just after the county.seat is settled
irrevOcably at Oakland.-FrOSt6Wg

COAL TRADE DIVERTED FROM
BALTIMORE TO THE CANAL.-The
Washington Republican says that
several foreign vessels are expected
to arrive in Georgetown in few
days to load with coal for Cuba and
other Spanish ports. Most of these
foreign shipments have heretofore
been made from Baltimore, but the
trade now seems to be diverted to-
ward the Potomac river ports of
Georgetown and Alexandria. The
reason for this is the improved man
ner in handling the coal both in AL
eXandria and Georgetown.

Mr.. II. V. Reddeld is generally
conceded to be not only an intelli-
gent but an unparalleled observer of
events, and in one of his letters to the
Cincinnati Commercial he points out
that while the Southern Democrats
have all the benefit of the enlarged
representation arising from the eX-
tension Of the suffrage to the negro.
the latter is practically DISTINGUISHED.
To show the workings Of this system
he says:
"Were the ballot perfectly free in
the South there would be no Demo-
cratic majority in the present Con-
9ress. Or, were the negro taken out
of politics and out of the basis of rep
resentation, there would be no Dem
ocratic majority. Their majority
consists exclusively of gains"
though suppression Of the negro
vote. The enlargement of the basis
of representation so as to take in the
black population has given South
Carolina three members, Georgia
four, Alabama four, Arkansas two,
Texas two, Mississippi four, North
Carolina three, Louisiana three, and
so on. Vet in all the States enumer-
ated the Republicans have but five
members, one from North Carolina,
one from Louisiana, and three from
South Carolina. In these States alone
there are twenty five members who
owe their seats to the enlargement of
The basis of representation TO take in
the blacks yet the blacks have pro-
pOrtiOnately a small voice in the
matter. Without negro suffrage, for
instance Georgia would have five
Democratic members, but with it She
has nine Democratic members. Yet
to elect all Of these nine there were
only polled a little over lG2, 900 votes.
Now, to elect only three members,
Minnesota p0lled over 100000 votes.
That is to say, Minnesota, with a
total Congressional vote of 10000,
has but three members, while GeOr-
gia, with a total Congressional vote
of 162, 900, has nine members"

The Ohio Gerrymander.

The redistricting of State offers
an inviting field for the exercise of the
politicians ingenuity. Ohio is the
latest State to be manipulated, and
the job has been done with neatness
and despatch. Basing calculations
on the Presidential vote in 1876,
when the Republicans carried the
State by nearly eight thousand ma
jority, it is found that the ingenious
Ohio Democracy have so apportion-
ed these voters that twelve out of
the twenty districts would return
Democratic representatives Small
gains which the Democrats calculate
upon would give them two or three
districts more, while a majority of
the whole number of votes cast in
the State. might still be Republican.
The Republican votes are wasted in
the fourth and seventeenth districts,
where their majority in each case is
over six thousand, and in the nine
teenth, where they outnumber the
Democrats by nearly twelve thous-
and. 70 all appearances then, the
Democrats have 50 arranged matters
that unless great and unexpected
change occurs in the sentiments of
the people OF Ohio, the State will be
Democratic in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, whether or not the Dem
ocrats poll majority of the whole
number of votes cast. In certain
contingencies the vote of the Ohio
delegation in the Rouse will be an
absolute necessity to the Democrats.
The next election in the State will
therefore be of great interest and inn
pOrtance. 1t is among the political
probabilities" that the curious re-
districting Of the State will cause ex-
tensive migratory movements among
the voting population in some sec
tions. In the political almanac this
is sure precursor of uncertain, per-
haps squally weather. Wash. Star.

If the country is to be made the
victim of another investigation into
the alleged frauds of the late Presi-
dental election, it is to be hoped that
it will be as thorough and complete
as labor and care can make it. The
party that attempts to make it a one
sided affair will find out what a terri
bic mistake it has made when the
ballots are counted next November.
If there is anything the Americans
admire it is fair play, and any effort
to shield one party at the expense Of
the other, is sure to excite their con-
tempt and disapprobation. If inves-
LEGATION is to be the order of the day
it must be rid Of the partisan charac-
ter now thrown around it before it
can command respect and confidence.
Failing to do this, it becomes little
less than the merest political trick
cry, and renders itself utterly desti-
tute of any substantial recognition in
the minds Of all honest and respecta-
bic people.

The outlook for an unusually
large yield of wheat in Caroline coun-
ty, Md, says the Denton Journal, is
not as bright as it was three weeks
ago. Many fields are said to be affect
ed with rust, and in others the leaves
have turned yellow, as though pre-.
maturely ripening. There will un-
doubtedly be heavy crop of straw,
but many farmers are beginning tc
fear that the harvest will not be so
plenteous as was anticipated.
