Local OPTIoN IN CALvERT.-Judge
Magruder. in letter to the Cecil Wkig.
bears the following testimony 10 the
good effects Of Local Option in Calvert
county.
There are but three districts in the
county. In the upper district since the
Law was passed, there has not been q
single charge Of violation Of the law.
nor even rumor OF q violation and
that 10 much the largest district OF the
three. The same holds good as 10 The
greater part OF the middle district, m
which 10 the county seat, and in that
the charges were confined 10 only three
or four persons, all but one evidently
acting in good faith, under what they
believed the law allowed. Ia The low
er district there was. for time, some
show of persistent effort TO evade the
law, but that is pretty well over now.
II was supposed that great many would
cross the river 10 other counties to get
liquor, but that is not en- easy matter,
and hear is much less practiced, than
was supposed would be, and less now
than at FIRST. Besides, there is good
hope Of the law for Charles, and, per-
haps, also for Prince Georges counties.
Not much, fear. for Anne Arundel,
our only other neighbor. The law Is.

FoR CowcRRss.-We hold II to be
The duty Of every journalist 10 give ex-
preston 20 bis virws upon ell questions
wherein The interest or welfare Of the
people ~ concerned. and upon the eve
OF the call Ior sending delegates 10 The
Congressional Convention, Il i proper
that We should not remain silent. We
do not propose 70 disparsge any Of the
gentlemen who have been named for
Congressional honors. We do not de-
sire that the interest Of one shall be
promoted BY abe unnecessary display Of
what we may conceive 70 be the short
!. eomiDgs tf another, but We do propose
That those qualifications We deem essea-
tial IN The man whom the democratic
party, through its Convention. is called
upon to support shall here be promi-
nently set forth, together with the
claims Of that candidate who, in our
judgment, is most deserving and who
would be most acceptable TO, and best
advance the interest Of bis constituents.
The first requisite 10 devotion to The
Constitution and laws Of the land.
coupled with such purity Of life and IN
telIectual ability Is to command The re-
spect Of the whole country, whose rep
resenfative he becomes al the hour
when frst he enters the Capitol. In
view OF the coming Presidential strug-
gle, with the frauds Of 1876 fresh IN our
minds, there is another Tequisite-it is
well for The democratic party to put
forward men who not only know the
right, but men whose experience IN leg
islaiive halls and whose tried integrity,
ability and courage is q sure guarantee
that they will fearIessly do il. Such a
man is Col. john r. DEET. oil our coun-
~. We speak er eGthedrG when we
saw that Col. DENT il candidate upon
his OsUa zssrits, and attached IN no way
10 the interest of any other sspirant,
be he DR.. Henkle, Mr.. Chapman or an-
other. That upon his own claims, so
well known, not only tothe people OF this
county, but 10 the State at large, would
he rest and rest alone. Col. DENT 8 first
entrapce into public life was a. dele
gate 10 the Constitutions Convention OF
7a50-6l. In %, '5s and 81 be was a
member OF the lower House ofthe State
Legislatures during the last Of which
years he was its Speaker. After this
date he retired from public life, declin-
ingto be candidate for Office. till the
troublous times Of civil war made II diff
ficult to get men to accept political po-
siiions, when he again appeared and wasa
member ofthe Legislature in 80 and SO.
He was sent as delegate to the Con-
