Democratic Central Committee

At the Democratic State convention
on Thursday last, central committees were
appointed for the different counties. The
chairman of the State committee has not
vet been named. 1t will devolve upon
DR.. Opie, of Baltimore city. the chairman
of the late convention. Hon A. P. Cor
man was appointed to that pos four years
ago, by Gov. Why:e. and was re-appoint-
ed two years ago. Upon The commi tee
for this county DR.. A. J. Smoot is reap
pointed, and the vacancies caused by the
resignation of Messrs Mitchell and Weems
were filled by the appointment of
VIM. II. Gray and +. NJ. Cox. We are
glad to learn that DR.. Smoot has not fol
lowed the example of his associates in re-
signing, and that the party will not be de-
prived of his well-known energy and zeal
in the cause of Democracy. We feel sure
that the favorable influence upon the par
ty affairs of Mr.. Gray's ability and force
of charac. er will not be inconsiderable :
For ourself, we thank the gentlemen OF
our delegation for their courtesy and fully
appreciate the confidence that the appoint
ment implies, and, while we should have
much preferred to continue to serve our
party in the ranks, we shall, nevertheless
not feel at liberty to decline the trust, and
shall always be ready TO render to our as
sociates such poor assistance as we may
b. able in promoting the good cause.
Vennpr for July.
Mr.. Henry G. Vennor, in letter to a
newspaper in Otrowa, Canada, Of the 23d
instant. says: Il believe that the present
summer is one in a triad of similar sum-
mers, probably the middle one. 1t is
likely to resemble that of 1880, and to diff
fer in some of is minor details. The ap-
preaching month of July will give great
deal of rain. as in 1880, over large por-
ton of the United States and Canada,
viii in Great Britain the weather will,
in all pro liabilities be likewise stormy and

The Hero of the Civil War.

The Sunday Capital is rapidly wiping up
the floor with the great men of our times,
A silly notion, long prevalent that Gem
erals Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan were
in some manner connected with the sue
cess of the national arms in the great
civil war received rude and probably
destructive blow in the columns of yes
terday's issue of that paper The fact,
hitherto concealed is made as plain as
mere assertion can make it that the re-
belion was really on its last legs when
the three Generals named were called to
the front. TO use the sulphurous phrase
of the CdpitdPS Macaulay, the South
that had girt its frontier with wall of
fire that shriveled our thousands hurled
against it like tissue paper before blaze,
was exhausted and dying out from lack
of fuel" The careful student of
history will find in the article
referred to statement of immense
value. 1t touches only the battle ofShiloh /;
but it is stated in such connection with
the shriveled thousands, the wall of fire,
and the lack of fuel that it seems prob
aDlc tIle uutIlOT WOulu UdNC us TeguTu IL us
covering broader ground than a single
battle. This statement is that, while Grant
and Sherman were lying around loose
from the effects Of debauch, the army
was saved from annihiIation by" poor
old Tom Worthington," now "not only
ragged, and therefore disreputable, but
half-crazed by the cruel neglect of his Gov
ernment," A government that would not,
upon a showing like this, and upon such
indsputable authority, strip the epau-
lettes from the shoulders of the General
of the Army and pin them to the ragged
sleeve of "poor old Tom Worthington |"
deserves to be abandoned by the latter
when ITS next thousands are shriveled as
aforesaid. Pub fishers of school histories
of the war will in future editions
strike out the names of Grant, Sherman,
and Sheridan and insert that of old Tom,
poor Tom, or poor old Tom Worthington
whose "looped and windowed ragged
ness +" shall not longer expose him to
the bleak ingratitude of the Republic
which he saved as easily as Falstaff slew
