The Cincinnati Convention WAS in marked
contrast to that ut Chicago II few weeks ago
At Chicago the bitterness of rival factions
was never equalcd in nominating conven-
ton. At Cincinnati, on the contrary, while
the friends ol the various candidates luborcd
2culuusly To promote the interests Of their Ia
voritcs, a general spirit of harmony pcrynded
the delegates, and the desire To advance per
sonal interests was snboIdinated to the gen
eTul good Of the party. Every one felt that
it was matter of greater importance to nom
mate ticket sure to he elected than to crafty
personal preferences ut The expense Of the
general result
Nj 1ildcn's letter Of withdrawal ana the
decisive declaration Of Mr. Seymour, of New
York, to he n candidate, eliminated in "A
measure two important factors from the con
test but left the door wide open for scram-
bic where il was impossible to predict which
of the other tavoritcs would come out ahead
Next to the two candidates named Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, had leading place, be-
ing supported by his own State, Maryland
ana me SoHih gehtfaily, Win strong adVo-
Gates in nearly all the other delegations. He
was without doubt the general tnvorite, but
q fear existed as TO his ability to carry the
pivotal State of New York, and the delegates
hesitated to take any risks, even TO crafty
their personal feelings.
The tone of Mr.. Tilden's letter of withdraw
al created sympathy for him and his sup
porters were unwilling to give him up. In
deed, so strong was the feeling in his favor,
that Notwithstanding his Withdrawal when
the convention assembled it was not certain
that he would not be nominated
The Maryland delegation held a meeting
and determined to support Senator Bayard
as long as there was any possible chance for
his nomination.

A RUNAWAY PoNY AND A PLuCKY LITTLE
BoY.-Last Sunday Griffith Lee, aged eleven
years, n son of Col. Ohio S. Lee, accompanied his
father TO Rock Spring Church. riding beach
pony. On their way home the little fellow
pulled his horse aside to ride alongside of the
carriage. The bit became twisted in some man
ncr and the pony started to run He increased
his speed, until he fairly flew over the ground
and was out of sight in moment. The lad pre-
served his seat like n trained jockey, but was UNI
able to check the spirited little animal, which
ran into Bel Air, distance of two miles and a
half, without checking his speed for an instant.
They turned the corner at Broadway and near
the Episcopal church ran into Mr.. John w.
Paca's carriage. The collision upset both horse
and rider. The pony kept ON but the lad did
not. The dashing little rider was pickedu up and
carried home Fortunately he was not serious

Mr. TmDEN's LETTER-A letter from Mr..
Tilden was published on Monday, in which
he renounces all aspirations for the nominal
ton at Cincinnati. It is a clear, vigorous
and incisive document, and is calculated to
restore to its author, in great measure, the
good opinion of many Democrats who felt
that the candidate they elected in 1876 did
not show sufficient nerve in failing to assume
the position of which he had been deprived
by Il conspiracy. In Il calm and dignified
manner Mr.. Tilden disposes of the charges
brought against him, and declares that he is
now too old to undertake the Herculean task
of reforming the general government as he
did the affairs of New York Mr.. Tildens
motives may be msconstrued, but all unpre-
JUDGED minds must admire the patriotism
sincerity and devotion to Democratic princi-
pies which breathes forth in every line of his
| letter
1t is beginning to be felt that the Demo.
Gratis made great mistake when they Joined
their opponents in detraction of Mr.. Tilden
They assisted in making him unavailable as
a candidate for reelection, whereas by sup
porting him as the representative of the great
| wrong done to the entire American people
he could not have been defeated

Star Bone Phosphate.

At the trial of a large phosphate case in Hur-
ford county court recently, where IL number Of
good farmers were interested it Is stated that sew
eral witnesses were asked on the stand whether
there was good and reliable phosphate sold III
the county. They all answered in the affirmative
saying that the Star Bone Phosphate, manufac.
turel by j. Il. Tygert X Co, of Smyrna, Del, was
phi )sphatc which is always uniform in quality
and good and reliable. The sale of this excellent
fertilizer has been, so far as we can learn steadily
increasing in Hartford and York counties, where il
has been brought in competition with every fertili.
zerin the market, from Peruvian gliuno down NIr
w. II. Thompson, the general agent, stated, som,
time ago, that in Hartford county alone its sales
have nearly doubled this spring as compared with
last spring. The best farmers are using the stan
Bone Phosphate and enquiry among them estab-
fishes the fact that they have perfect confidence
in tia confidence which is best shown by theil
increased use of il.
The best tobacco raised in York county last sea.
son was by Philip Williams, on the Giades, near
York, from the use Of 400 lbs. of Star Bone Phos-
phate per acre. The advantage of using a prompt
decided active and enduring fertilizer for the to-
bacco crop is well known by all tobacco growers
The Star Bone Phosphate fills all these require
ments. Besides farmers have the advantage of
"'''i'''S VI i'eh"i"S'uiS' -hSi' vas iust car 81
it is now and so it will continue 10 be IL has been
applied 10 crops of every kind grown in Hartford
county, and with results as marked as they were
pleasing to our progressive and intelligent far
mers.
The Star Bone Phosphate requires no more
pushing in Hartford and York counties. The re-
suits that have followed its use have given it a
solid reputation among our best farmers which
will ensure for it an ever-increasing popularity
From what we can learn from the best farmers in
the county the Star Bone has no equal, for the
immediate crop and for lasting qualities.

| ARRESTED FOR MURDFR-On Monday night
a negro, called George Thomas, was brought to
| Bel Air Jail from Iiavre dc Grace, having been
| committed by Justice Adams on the charge OF
numbering, on the 3lst OF last May, Milton b.
| Frank and William Gage the captain and color.
| ed cook of the schooner Mgnonette on the
James river. The crew of the schooner consist
I'd of Captain Frank, the mate, W. A. Selby,
| VIM. Gage, tho coorcdcook, anda negro seaman,
| named George Thomas. The latter is described
as man CT gigantic size weighing 100 lbs
| Upon some slight provocaion Thomas beat the
captain to death with pump rake and threw
| the body overheard. Next, with an axe he killed
the colored cook, who tried to save the captain,
aud then attacked and wounded the mate, Selby.
The latter escaped to the cabin, and succeeded
| in avoiding the furious negro. The murderer
| then went ashore and escaped to the woods.
| Last Saturday colorcd man dressed in
woman's clothes was arrested at Hayre dc Grace
on the morning train from Baltimore to Phila-
dolphin, having been discovered by Captain
Slater, the conductor. The day before VIM.
Lawrence, living near Back River Bridge, had
been robbed of SIG in money and other articles,
by colorcd man calling himself VIM Jones, and
the pretended female, when clad In his proper
clothing, answered to the description of the man
who robbed Mr.. Lawrence. He also said his
name was William Jones.
In the meantime it became suspected that
Jones was none other than George Thomas, the
murderer of the captain and cook of the Mignon.
cite. MIR. w. A. Selby, the mate of the schoon-
er, was sent for, and at the hearing before Jus
tice Adams, on Saturday, he identified the prison
er as the murderer.
The prisoner in Bel Air Jail stoutly denies
having even heard of the murder of which he
is suspected, until placed in the lookup at Hayre
dc Grace. He is apparently about 90 years of
age, s feet inches in height, and weighs probably
145 or $50 lbs. He has an intelligent face, o
polite manner, answers questions freely and has
not the appearance of a desperate or murderer
He has Il scar over his right eye, extending into
his eyebrow, which he says he received by be.
ing thrown from carriage. His dressing in
womans clothes, after leaving Mr.. Lawrence's,
he said, was for the purpose of "haying some
fun" He is held for the action of the Virginia
authorities and is also wanted by the Baltimore
county authorities on the charge OF robbery.
