Ladies and gentlemen from Rockville to the
number of 25 visited the Great Falls on Tues
day night. The party was in charge of Mr..
j. T. Dyer and wife aud Mr.. j. ]. Cooper and
wife. Misses Mamie Carter, Bessie Hew.
lingues, Fannie Ferral, Maggie Harvey, Kate
Lyddane, Lucy Hutton, Susie Riggs, Rose
Lyddane, Molle Maddox and Pie Veirs and
their escorts completed the company. Besides
the usual pleasant features of an excursion a
view of the Falls by the glories of moonlight
was novel and beautiful experience.
Rev. Dr.. G. X. Nelson, the Vice Presi.
dent of 81. Johns college, was in Rock willie
on Monday and honored us with visit. In
speaking of st. Johns he referred to the ac-
ton of the trustees allowing students 10 board
in Annapolis as most likely to attract larger
numbers to the college. We believe there are
several vacant scholarships for tuition at this
Institution which belong to this county, and
which in money are worth at least Sl0O each.
No college in the country offers better advan-
tages than can be had at St. Johns, and this
consideration together with the fact that it is
the leading institution of the State make the
college worthy of the most liberal patronage of
the people Of Maryland.

nfertainment.--A correspondent from
Gsithersbug sends us word of an entertain
ment at that place on last Saturday afternoon,
given by the Gaithefsburg Literary and Sing
ing society, under the leadership of Mr.. John
e. Claggett. A large number were present
and were delighted with the manner in which
the programme of solos and quartettes were
rendered. After the conclusion of the pro.
gramme, the visitors were invited TO bounti-
fully spread table OF the choicest delicacies.
So pleasurable in all respects, states our cor
respondent, was the entertainment that there
is general wish for its repetition.
The FaiP.-The coming Fair, which be-
gins on September 3, should be the mo st sue
cessful exhibition in the history OF the associ-
alton. Every circu instance is favorable. The
products Of the farm this year are in advance
of former years, the premiums offered are lib
eral and the society has added several attrac.
lions 10 the programme. II would be pleasing
TO see our Fairs become true index TO the inn
provement in the county, and it should be a
matter of pride with every farmer to act with
the officers of the society for the attainment
of this end.

For County Surveyor,
CHARLES Il. TOWNSEND.

The Democratic ticket now before the peo-
pie is eminenty worthy of the support Of Inc
people; and being The result Of fair express
sion of opinion aud preference uninHuenced by
unfair means, is entitled 10 the united support
Of the party in this county, apart from the
consideration Of the merit OF the individual
nominees. To contest like the lastwhere the
aspiranis were so many, each with his inter-
esls and following, there might be reason TO
expect some dissatisfaction and even discord at
the result, but If such be so 1t is the outgrow III
of something outside of the manner in which
the primaries were conducted ana the way in
which the candidates accomplished their
nomination. The methods were fair and the
result is honest.
Among the candidates themselves the result
will be abided by, and each one will do his
utmost TO crown the cause with that success
which We confidently look for and have every
right to expect
No reasonable excuse can now be found for
IN independent party in this county The
legislativeticket, to which belongs the privi-
lege Of mapng any proper change in the mode
Of our loca government, has been selected OF
and by hspeople, and we believe that the
gentlemen who compose that ticket will ad-
dress themselves to all issues with caution and
the interest Of the county uppermost in their
minds
This is the time for everything like disafIec-
ton to cease. As far as can reasonably be
expected The ticket is one which offers the diff
ferent factions in the county the opportunity
of each granting some concession of prejudice
and thus tniie the organization with all of its
former might and power for future victories
as important as the present. The reason for
this is simple bat imperative. The present
nominations are the will of the party in the
true meaning of the word, and this is the sea-
son when the party is TO be respected in its
dictates and when disappointment and all
other manner of disatiec,ion must yield and
be content
The composition of the State ticket is also
worthy Of the Democratic party. The nomi-
nation Of Hamilton must cover up many
breach besides being intrinsicaly a strong
aud crediable nomination. Heating and
Gwinn are known as efficient and good men,
and viii add strength TO the ticket
The State ticket concludes with the name of
Spencer G. Jones. This nomination appeals
TO this county for an unprecedented support
aud demands that Western MARI land be up
and active to restore to the Democracy her los.
dominion.

Nr. Editor There have been eight dele
gates sent by some one TO represent the Demo-
cratic party in the State convention on The
7th inst. The voters at the last primaries did
not vote for those delegates, and some OF the
people are DESTROYS of knowing from those
who have exercised such prerogatiye of SOW
erelgnty the full particulars of this novel and
anu-Democratc proceeding. Ii NOV be all
right, bat some are naturally duler than
others 10 perceving tin fact il is hard for
anybody TO keep up with the politicians in
htse days-the query therefore arises, Upon
what principle or precedent recognized by the
usages OF the party should any one or three
'nen De clothed with such seemingly arbitrary
power2
This delegation, II is said, was selected by
one oil the candidates on the State ticket
whose opponents names were not presented
10 the people NJ their last primaries to be vote
Tor, as they should have been. These delegates
go 10 the convention not only as his delegates,
but according to the usages OF the Convention
will be permitted 10 name the members of the
next Democratic State Central Committee OF
the party for this county.
some are OF the opinion that the Crawford
or Montgomery county system was adopted
by the people for the selection Of county Off
GERS only, and that the selection of State nomi-
nees should have been by the old mode Of
sending delegates from county convention
la fact this IS the only practical way when we
have to meet In convention with those coun-
ties which have been too wise 10 adopt our SO.
called system Of selecting candidates.
Some are Of the opinion that this delegation
Goes not reflect the sentiment Of the voters ms
expressed at The last primaries, and Others

The Fall Of 1ngersoll,

In his opposition to prevailing re-
ligioas opinions, Colonel Ingersoll has
assumed to take his stand on the ground
of common sense. This was the bur-
den of his lecture on ghosts" his de-
nunciation of the doctrine of "hell, I"
and other discourses. We are sorry to
see, from the platform adopted by the
national liberal league, of which he was
a moving spirit, that he has abandoned
that ground.
The platform classes " tramps with
honest unemployed workingmen, and
objects to legislation to suppress the
nuisance. There is no common sense
in this.
It repeats the familiar nonsense of
the soft-money men to the effect that
"the currency of the country" is in
the hands of usurers. speculators and
banking aristocracy" There is no COM
mon sense in this.
It demands that the title to land
"shsll depend upon its use and its
ownership be limited in amount for
the public benefit" There is no com
mon sense in this.
1t demands that the income Of cor
porations beyond" "a reasonable COM
pensation to the incorporators," shall
i" go to the government" There is no
common sense in this.
1t demands that in our national,
state and municipal legislation" the
people shall pass upon all public and
important laws" directly " through
their own votes, as is now done in
adopting our constitutions. There is
no common sense in this.
The fall of Ingersoll from common
sense is one of the most melancholy
spectacles of the day.-Neao York Eren-
ing Post.
