On election day DIR. t. Clay Mad

On election day DIR. T. Clay Mad
dux, rather notorious character
living in Baltimore took a number
of men from Baltimore to Anne
Arundel county. to "assist" in the
election of a friend of his. After the
polls had closed some of the citizens
of the precinct wanted to be admit
ted to the polling-room to see the
ballots counted. DIR. Daddux, who
was himself in the room. stood at
the door and undertook to keep them
out. In the fight which followed
Maddux was shot and instantly kill
ed. A man named Claude Wheeler
has been arrested as principal. and
Michael Bannon. a prominent DEM
Ocratic politician and State Senator
from Anne Arundel county, as Access
sorry to the killing.
The often denied fact that Balti-
more roughs and rowdies and repeat
ers have interfered in out Of town
election in the counties adjacent to
the city whenever it was important
fer our rulers to increase their appar-
ent vote at any point may now be
considered established beyond all
cavil by the circumstances of DR.. Il.
Clay Maddux's death at OdentOn, in
Anne Arundel. Such a man could
be at that place, with surroundings,
for no possible good end. That he
prepared to interfere, and did inter-
fere, with those who wished to see
the vote counted openly is evident.
1t is not necessary to prove that he
himself went for purpose of fraud, in
timidation was obvious and that
vitiates an election quite as much as
fraud. This business is constantly
practiced. 1t is only when the con-
sequences are as lametable as those OF
Tuesday that discovery is made OF
these practices, and the people
brought face to face with the fact that
the effect of their ballots is neutral
lied by the deliberate crimes of the
professional opponents of free voting
and fair ceunting.-Bdltia1Ore Amer

The loss of District in New York
leaves the Republicans one vote short
of a majority of all in the new House
of Representatives. They have a
chance to get this vote from nine
Greenback members, nearly all OF
whom are Republicans, and the two
Readjusters from Virginia. In fact,
we believe that the latter have an
nounced their purpose to act with the
Republicans.

and expense. We have recently seen a case
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENFD GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles Of the Jewell
cry trade, possessing as 1t does so many ad-
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their Jeweler for card or cat
alogue thatwill explain the manner In which
they are made.
1t is the only STIFFENED CASE made with
two plates Of gold, seamless pendents, and
centre. solid Joints, crown pieces, &C.. all OF
which are covered by letters patent. There

There seems to be no desire among
the Christian public to substitute the
new revision of the Scriptures for the
old which has been In use so long
and is perfectly familiar. AS far as
the people are concerned the alleged
improvements made by the recent
translation amount to but little with
them. The sentiment is what the
people reverence. The present gen.
Grafton will very likely adopt 1t
The only way 1t can be forced uDon
the public is for all the publishers of
the Bible to agree to print only
the new version. That would be
a bad plan and the people would re-
sist.

MIR. Fred. Gortner, who 1t will
be remembered sustained the loss of
his dwelling and contents by fire a
few months since. last week met with
the further loss of one of his span of
valuable black horses. This was one
of the finest match teams in the
county, and the loss bears heavily
upon friend Gortner, who is a young
man just starting in life; but Fred.

pluck to come out all right sooner or
later.

Phillippi is q native Of Somerset

Crook edness i'm the Treasury Depart
menf.

Ugly developments of systematic skuldug-
gerry in the treasury department, which has
been going on for years. are being made at the
instance of Secretary Window. Several parties
who have held high places under the govern
ment are badly smirched, and the Investigations
now being made will no doubt lead to the re-
moval of several of the present corps of treasury
officials. 1t has TRANSFERRED that o. l.. Pitney,
custodian of the treasury department has vio-
lated the law requiring him to purchase by con-
tract from the lowest bidder, and has for several
years procured the supplies from friends and
favorites at their own figures. Outrageously
exhorbitant prices have been paid and alto
gether the custodian's business has been run in
slip-shod manner The facts go to show that
regular ring existed of subordinate officials
in the department who received benefit from
the loose and reckless management of affairs
cabinet maker named Frazier testified that he
made fifteen fac SiniJes of the desk used by
Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declara-
ton of Independence, at cost of $50 each which
were given cut as presents to friends OF treasury
officials. Elk cabinet officers are mentioned in
the testimony as having had the benefit of the
government cabinet makers work at their pri-
vate residences. Altogether the Investigations
promise racy developments.

Another Horror.

On the 23d inst, the sixty-second anniversary
of Queen Victorias birthday, while the steamer
Victoria, with over six hundred passengers on
board, was traversing the Thames river, On
tario, and when near what is known as the Cove
railroad bridge, about mile west of London,
Ont, the boat suddenly collapsed because of
her heavy load, and became total wreck. The
unfortunate passengers were instantly plunged
into the stream, which at the place of the dis
aster varies from eight to eighteen feet in depth.
More than half of the struggling mass was car
ried down underneath the debris of the steam
er's upper works. Several hundred families
were represented on the excursion, and the
scenes on the banks of the stream when the
bodies were recovered were heal trending in the
extreme. The total loss of life will aggregate
ITS. Up to O'Clock on the evening of the 24th
about $50 corpses had been secured, and the
work of recovery was being vigorously prose-
cuted
Later.--Up to 1870 o'clock on the 18th, 238
bodies had been recovered, and it was thought
several more were under the wreck. The dis
aster was caused by rush of passengers to the
side of the steamer which partially capsized her.
at which moment the supports of the upper
deck gave way, allowing the whole structure to
fall on those underneath.

A MurderOus Horse.

Washington Benson, wealthy farmer, aged
55 years. met with horrible death on the after
noon of the 24th inst. He was on his way from
Porter, Mich, to Iowa, travelling for pleasure
with his family in covered vehicles. They went
IN camp for dinner about five miles west of
South Bend, Ind. While the old gentleman
was leading a stallion to water he stopped to
pick up stick, when the horse reared and came
down on him with its forefeet, crushing him to
the earth. The man fell on his back and the
animal instantly grabbed his face with its teeth
and bit off his right cheek. At the same time
it got on his breast with its knees, and rearing
up and down, crushed III his ribs and breast,
and continued to bite his face until finally beat
en- off with clubs by the other members of the
family. One of the sons hurried to the city and
secured doctor, but when hereached the scene
OF the accident, the man died with request on

beyond Belief.

Absalom Brown, a widower living near States
ville n c., went away from home on the Odd
INST, leaving his three children alone on the lot
The youngest of these children, boy aged
8 years, had long been sickly, and the two
older children, boy and a girl, conceived the
idea of putting him out of the way. They ac-
cordinglv tied a rope around his neck and swung
him up to joist of the house. where he was
found a few minutes later by colored woman
of the neIghborhood who passed through the
lot on an eTand. This woman cut the child
down and laid it on the bed, when it began to
gasp, and finally regained consciousness. She
then went her way, and returning homeward
some time later stopped again at Browns house.
where she ascertaned that the brother and sis
ter had taken the young child off the bed and
carried it out behind the garden and buried it.
She fastened to the scene of the burial, dug
the child up and carried it into the house. The
child died next day from the shock.

Deadly Find.

An explosion of 100 barrels of Danforth's
fluid, stored in cellar on Edmund street. St
Joseph, Mo-, occurred at o'clock on the night
of the 23d. The floor above the treacherous
magazine was used as o billiard room, which
was occupiedby number of colored men at the
time of the accident, all of whom lost their
lives, the entire building being instantly de-
mohshed. At last accounts four bodies were
recovered from the debris, all burned beyond
recognition. The number who lost their lives
cannot be ascertained, the estimate ranging
from Is to As. Water was poured on the oil
soaked and burning debris, but without effect,
and it is feared that the unfortunates whose
bodies lie buried in the wreck, will be burned
to ashes.
Ldter.-Further particulars concerning the
accident show that it was not as bad as at first
reported. There were about thirty men in the
saloon at the time of the explosion but most
of them escaped. Chas. Dunlap, a bartender,
and Billy Williams were burned to death, and
twelve others more or less singed and cut by
flying debris. The explosion was caused by a
colored man entering the cellar with light.
