DEATH OF AN OLD EDIToR.-Mr. Charles -
Bouldin, one of the Oldest citizens Of Hartford
county and formerly for many years publisher
of newspaper in this county, died at the
residence Of his son, Dr. Robert R. Bouldin, near
Jerusalem Mills, on Tuesday. He was in the
seth year of his age. Funeral services were
held on Thursday at the Presbyterian Church,
Bel Air. The services were conducted by Rev
E. ID. Finney. The interment was at Rock
Spring Church. The active pall-bearers were
his sons, William, Charles r., Capt. Richard E.
and DIR. Robert r. Bouldin, and has two sons

The honorary pallbearers were Judge John
II. Price, Capt. A. l.. Jarrett, DR.. X. ID. Lee

). d. Dance and Col. John G. Walsh
Mr.. Bouldin was printer by trade. In 1880
he removed from Baltimore to Bel Air with his
family and bought the Bond Of Union, then the
only newspaper published in Hartford county
Changing Its name to the Harfcrd Republican, he
issued it in the Interest of the Democratic party
The Bond of linton had been published for many
years by VIM. and Charles Go4le. Eter mail
route contractors were unknown in those days
and consequently mails were few and far be-
tween, nor were they often expedited" The
Republican was accordingly served to its sub
scrbers by special messenger, on horseback.
This important parsonage, at the time Mr.
Bouldin came to Bel Air, was Philip or "Philly"
CoaIe, who continued carrying the Republican as
he had carried its predecessor through Hartford.
He is described as little old man, kind-hearted,
ipofepaiye, and general favorite. He rode
spirited horse, called activity" ofwhich he

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. Democra-
tic primaries, on Wednesday, were as well
attended as they usually are in an off year.
1t appears to be conceded that in the county
convention to select delegates to the congress
slonal convention, Mr.. J. T. G. Hopkins will
have no opposition, and delegation favora-
Die to his nomination will be chosen. Mr..
Hopkins is member of the Bel Air bar and
has taken an active interest in political af-
fairs in the county since 1867 In 1869 he was
nominated by the Democrats and represent
ed Hartford county in the House of Delegates.
In 1871 he was elected States Attorney, and
was reelected to the same office in 1875. In
1880 he was one of the electors at-large on
the Hancock and English ticket. Mr.. Hopkins
is steadfast Democrat and has discharged
every public trust deyolving upon him with
ability, fidelity and courage. If nominated
Hartford county will give him rousing ma.
Jority, and if elected, the district will find
in him an efficient, honorable and useful re-
preventative
The delegates to the county judicial con-
vention, as in the other case, have been cho-
sen without regard to their preference for
candidates; but while the delegation to be
selected will probably be favorable to the re-
nomination of the present judges, they will
doubtless make no factious opposition to the
choice of Baltimore county.

We have received copy of the argu-
ment of Hon. Richard T. Merrick in the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia,
in behalf of the United States in the Star
Route trials With unsparing hand Mr.. Mer-
rick lays bare the devices of the conspirators
to rob the government, and shows that the
head of the conspiracy was Stephen W. Dor
sey, the ex.carpet-bag Senator from Arkan-
sas, and that the crime was made possible
only by the connvance and active assistance
of ex-Second Assistant Postmaster General
Brady, the sworn officer of the government
having charge of the star-route mail con-
tracts The jury, it will be remembered, con-
victed two of the least important members of
the conspiracy, but failed to agree as to the
guilt of Dorsey, Brady and others. In the
light MIR. Merrick threw on the case, it is diff.
ficult to sec how the jury came to this con-
clusion, unless the jury-fixer was about when
their verdict was made up.
