THE colored Republicans in Maryland
have recently shown signs of revolt from
the authority of their white rulers, owing
to their not being accorded full share of
the federal patronage Of the state, and
have decided to call state convention on
the oath inst, at which it is proposed to
reorganize the Republican party of the
state from colored standpoint.
The Dunkards Of Johnson county, Mis-
souri,, some time ago got up controversy
among themselves. which has now assum-
ed such proportions that it threatens to
make division in the body. The cere-
mony of feet washing is one of the old re-
ligious observances of these people. The
controversy is as to whether in the perform
ance of this lite one foot or both should
be washed. On this important point opin-
ion is about equally divided.

neither more nor less than ''teacher of di.

it, even If it fail to confer high distinction
on those who wear it..
IT is believed at the Land Office that
the western land swindlers' ring, re.
Gently exposed, have obtained fraudulent
titles to more than million acres Of pub
lie lands, the most of which they have
sold to innocent settlers, who therefore
have no valid title to the land they oc.
cupy. 1t rests with the secretary of the
interior and the attorney-generalt to decide
whether civil suits shall be begun at once
to vacate the titles to these lands. 1t is
believed that whatever is determined upon
it will be SO arranged that the blow shall
not fall too heavily upon the thousands of
duped settlers, whose hitherto undisputed
titles to their homes have been rendered
invalid 10y this exposure.

NIucn Fraud at tho Primaries.

Sometime since one Of our contempor-
aries, the New Era, proposed that we
should have in this county citizens COM
mittee, after the Philadelphia pattern, for
the prevention and punishment of frauds
at elections. We seconded the motion
and suggested that it be constituted with
special reference to the Republican pri-
maries, as at these there was probably
much more fraud than at the general
elections.

A Feast of Beans.

Last night after the adjournment of
George II. Thomas post "a, u. A. r.,
there was grand lunch served of genuine
old army viands-bean soup, sow-belly
and hard-tack. A felicitous speech was
made by Maj. A. C. Reinoehl, and the old
vets declared the feast far superior to
some they had sat down or stood ND to

and crackers being super-abundan:, what
was left was distributed to several SOL

Ar1NE specimen of the kind of leeis.

AF1NE specimen of the kind of legis-
lation proposed by the crude theorists
who would regulate all the concerns of
life by legislation is afforded in a bill
introduced at Harrisburg, relating to
the sale of drugs. Briefly stated it pro-
vides that nobody shall hereafter I" open
or carry on in the state of Pennsylvania
any retail drug or chemical store, nor
engage in the business Of compounding,
or dispensing medicines on prescriptions
of physicians or of selling at retail any
drugs, chemical poisons or medicines"
without a certificate from the state
board Of pharmacy. That board is to
consist of seven persons, selected trien-
nially by the governor from list of
twenty handed to him by the 6: Penn
sylvania pharmaceutical association. !"
This puts the power into the hands of
that self-constituted association to en-
tirely control and monopolize the retail
drug, prescription and dispensary busi-
ness. Any set of men who compose
this unofficial ''assOciation," or who
may happen to get control of it, could
pick out twenty of themselves under this
law, and make sure that seven of the
members would be the state board of Ii
cense controlling the whole retail drug
trade. We have no fear that any such
bill would ever become law, but its
provisions are worth citing to show what
fools they are in the world and how the
biggest of them get into the Pennsylva-
mia legislature.

Error or FalsehOOd-Mhich!

W. VI i hOO-
VI le it may not be an opPortunsE
tine 10 discuss matters of political;
import. still we deem it duty to|
correct tie misrepresentation OF am
anonymous correspondent OF the
Courier, vino seeks by implication
10 fix the crime of Gutteau upon our
'citizens of foreign birth. He says:
The recent attempt on the life of our
President has shown that we
Ihave in our country an alien element that
lit would not he SAT-. To tolerate.
1t is quite probable that the
French photography of the name OF
the assassin has led the writer OF the
article under consideration to make
the lamentablc error which has
caused this Unjust and unchantable
arrai.nment of our citizens OF foreign
birth. While it betrays unpardon-
! able ignorance, it will probably serve
! a useful purpose in making would
be commentators more careful OF
{ their facts, before they allow mere
apreiudice to dictate as sweeping q
charge against the patriotism of any
class of our people. The truth is,
6that Guteau is not only a native
sborn citizen, but he first saw the
Flight of day in that exceedingly
is loyal" State, Illinois, and bis faith
er and his great grandfather were ma
tives of no less Radical strongholds
. than Massachusetts, and New. York.
The progenitor of these Guteaus,
Francis, was Protestant, who fled
Iron France after the revocation OF
THE edict of Nantes by Louis NV,
Oct. IA, 1855. He settled in Massa-
chusetts. In 1892, his three sons
moved from that State into Oneida
county, New York. Their. names
were Francis, Calvin and Luther.
The junior Francis, in 1901, moved
to Utica, and practiced as physician.
About 1914 he moved to Whitesboro,
about four miles west of Utica. He
died in 1928. leading member OF
the Baptist denomination, leaving p
family of five sons and five daugh-
tiers. Only one Of these sons was
living in 1877, Luther Guiteau, the
father of Charles Guiteau, the
assassin, who settled at Freeport,
ILL.,, where he lived till the time oil
his death in 1880. We have been
thus EXPLICIT in tracing the seneoloey
of the Guiteau family to meet fully
and squarely the Inference sought t.
be drawn from a foreign accent Of
the name. The statement is con-
densed from biographical sketch
published in the Honesdale IN. Y,
Independent from the pen of Hon
F. P. Penniman, personal friend
of the grandfather OF the assassin
There are but few people who car
trace back their line of decent 200
years, and it seems peculiarly for
tunate just now, when Republican
partisans are clutchine at every
straw for support, that Guiteau's in
fanny cannot by any possibility be
placed upon either their politica
opponents, or the many thousands
J, of patriotic citizens Of foreign brit
who stood shoulder to shoulder

battle in defense of common fae

The Walla Walla Union, in com.
|menting upon the continual effor
made by the Orcgonian to secure ar
annual appropriation from the Gen
eral Government for dredging the
channel of the Willamette river
suggests thai better way, which
would avoid likewise the shoels and
bars of The Columbia river, woul
he to build the As miles of railroad
necessary to connect Portland will
the Northern Pacific at Kalama
|" Then," it says, "the producers Of
the Willamette Valley, and the sur.
plus of the vast regions east of the
Cascade Mountains, would seek q
market via Puget Sound, which is
always deep enough for the largest
vessels that float. A railroad could
make lots of money by carrying
wheat from Portland to Tacoma fol-
the present charges for lighterage,
towage, demurrage and pilotage,
which are paid by a ship going to
Portland after cargo" The Union
is about right in its calculations, but
why could not the steamers on the
upper Columbia and Willamette
rivers at once land their wheat at
Kalama and save the As miles OF
rail transportation, and IL miles in
land navigation for Walla Walla pro-
ducts. besides the expense and loss
incident to rshandjng at Portland.
1t is quite true that this plan might
not exactly suit the Portland people,
but it would leave money in the
pockets of the farmers of Oregon
and Eastern Washington.

Loss Of the OLYMPUS.

A Port Townsend dispatch OF the
18th instant gives the following ac-
'count Of the total destruction of this
fine ship. by fife, on the morning of
the 14th instant, in latitude 47o 80
north and longitude 1929 2j' west
IA days out from San Francisco for
iSeabeck. She was commanded by
Capt. Edwards, and was laden with
ia partial cargo OF hay, oakum and
foil. All on board, numbering 2G,
took to the boats and we've picked up
sthe same day by the ship WAhack,
: Capt. Kinds, and taken to Port Dis
.covery. The following is an account
of the disaster as given by Guy c..
Phinpey, of Carriboo, 3. c., who
was passenger on board:
About half past six on the morn
ing of the 14th 1 was standing near
the aft batch when l heard the cry
! of fire. The captain appeared i'm
mediately on deck and gave the Or
der to close the fore hatch, get buck
cts ready and the pumps to work.
] The order was promptly obeyed. A
portion of the aft hatch was then
taken eff and water pumped into the
hold. The fire ran over the hay and
] oakum like brush heap, and in a
moment was coming out of the hold
ten feet high. The hatch was then
sclosed with difficulty, the first and
second mate getting their hair and
Eyebrows singed in doing it. When
the fire burst through the main and
after matches, the captain gave the
order TO clear away the boats, and
all on board safely embarked, taking
their most valuable effects. To-
gether with the master and crew,
there were three ladies, the captain s
wife and daughter, and Mrs. Lewis.
Fortunately we fell in with the
ship Harha,ck, a few hours after,
bound for Port Discovery, which
came to our assistance and took us
on board, after which we were we'll
cared for by Capt. Kinds and his
estimable wife. Too much praise
cannot be given to Capt. Edwards
for his GOODNESS and bravery under
the trying circumstances. He was
the last to leave the ship and his
orders throughout were carefully
obeyed by the crew, thereby saving
the lives and good part of the pro-
petty of those on board. Before
night fell nothing was seen of the
ship Olympus but a black, charred
hulk.
The Olympus was said to have
been the largest single-decked vessel
afoat. She was built at Seabeck,
and launched little over year ago.
She was owned by the Seabeck Mill
Co., and was a most profitable YES.
sci, carrying as much as 100000
feet of lumber at single cargo
sho was, says the Post, marvel OF
strength and good workmanship
Every stick of timber used in bel
construction was carefully culled
and modelled and fitted into his place
by skilled hands. Twenty-three tons
Of bolts were used in her hull. Hel
length was $50 feet, beam A feel
and depth II feet 3 inches. She
cost $50, 900.
