AN OYSTER WAR.
Tongmen Attacking Dredgers

BALTIMORE, Dec. There is war among
the Eastern Shore oysterman, and within the
past few days some exciting scenes have been
enacted on the dredging grounds around Kent
Island, in the great Choptank river and in
Pocomoke sound. A large number of vessels
have been engaged in illegal dredging on the
grounds of the tongmen, and so far the oyster
police have been unable to afford much pro-
lection. The state oyster sloop Eliza Hay
ward is in an unseaworthy condition, and
when brisk gale is blowing she cannot leave
the wharf to drive off the dredgers- fact that
has made them audacious, and their depreda-
tons have been so extensive as to seriously
threaten the very existence of the beds.
Their vessels are most all from New York and
New Jersey, are larger and better manned
than the Maryland, and the tongmen have no
show of withstanding them.
A few days ago number of vessels entered
the grounds of the tongmen near Kent Island,
drove them away by force and began dredg-
ing. The beds here are very prolific, the
canoemen having depended on them for their
livelihood for many years, and up to this time
they have never been interfered with. The
best oysters are fortunately close to the shore,
overlooked by little knoll, and the tongmen,
determined not to be beaten, mounted a small
cannon on the knoll and made regular fire
upon the depredating dredgers A good many
of the shots went wide of the mark, however,
and the dredgers continued their work, paying
very little heed to the cannonade. An alarm
was thereupon sent all through the neighbor-
hood, and the tongmen gathered in force.
All were armed with rifles, muskets and
fowling- pieces, and began to embark in small
boats, determined to attack their enemies at
short range. The feld-piece had in the mean
while been gotten into better position, and
as the boats put off shot brought down the
mainsail of one schooner belonging to the
enemy and knocked the main topmast off an
other Alarmed by this and the warlke
preparations on the shore, the pirates fed.
There was another engagement between the
tongmen and illegal dredgers on Wednesday
last in Pocomoke sound. Capt. Geo. Hin
man, of Crisfeld, accompanied by twenty five
armed tongmen, attacked feet of sixteen
vessels, and after an exciting engagement,
captured a schooner and sixten men. A
pungy loaded with over 500 bushels of oysters
was also taken The vessel of the victors
was armed with cannon, and the enemy suf-
fered much in consequence. The prisoners
are now in the Accomac county Jail.
Great excitement prevails around Cam
bridge, owing to the depredations of foreign
dredgers in the Choptank river. So far they
have been sble TO 90 on with their work of
despoiing the beds without much Interrupt
ton, but the Board of Public Works has or
dered the newly completed oyster gunboat
Hamilton to the scene, and the tongmen are
preparing for final contest.

ofthe $500, 900 appropriated for the Cher
okee nation, So, 500 have disappeared. State
ments have been published recently connect
ing the names of Senator Dawes, of Massa-
chusetts, and Secretary Teller with the affair.
Col. Boudinot believes that Col Phillips got
the money, and Senator Dawes told newspa-
perinterviewer that he would have a committee
of inquiry to ascertain how the money disap-
peared, and to see whether Col. Boudinot or
Col Phillips lied" To this Col. Boudinot
replies that he hopes the inquiry will be speed
lily made, when he will show by numerous
witnesses that Col Phillips got the S22,5O0
and that he has repeatedly said that he had to
pay it to Senator Dawes and Secretary Teller
in order to get the appropriation for $500, 600

The National Republican committee meth
Washington on Wednesday, and decided to
hold the Presidential nominating convention
at Chicago on Tuesday, June 3. Mr.. Frye, of
Maine, offered a resolution to base the rep
resentation on the Republican vote. declaring
that the representation of the Southern States,
all anti Republican, was nearly equal to the
representation of the certain Republican
States. Mr.. Frye's resolution was defeated,
which was poin. for Arthur, as Arthur's vote
will be mainly from the South. Two or three
members from Southern States tried to raise
sectionalism by stating that they could not
vote in the South, &c, but the committee
preferred to make the tariff the leading issue,
though their resolutions declared for fair cleo
tons ami honest counts. These mean cleo
tons that Republicans will be unhindered and
counts that will count in the Republican nom
inees, as in South Carolina, Florida and Lou
isna in 1876. Fair elections means also,
wholesale bribery of voters for the Republi-
can ticket. as in 1880. We hope the com
mittee took good look around Washington
whilst there, for it is the last time they will
look upon it under Republican control. The
Republican party must go.

Che Democratic sarotate.
WESTMINSTER, MD.
SATURDAY DECEMBER Is, 1883.

There are thee hundred and eight officers
on the retired list of the Navy, with salaries
aggregating S7i3, 45s annually. The retired
Army officers exceed in number those of the
Navy, aud the pay Of both probably amounts
to $1,000, 600 a year. There is not one line
or word in the Constitution that warrants the
spending Of This money. If officers are
wounded they should receive pensions just
ike other soldiers, and there is no reason
why they should receive any more. They are
paid literally by the government, and any
one who lives up to the age of retirement
would have a competency if he husbanded his
means. Instead Of doing this, however, they
live M to their salaries in luxury and extrav-
agance, and will so continue to do as long as
the government will continue the salaries after
retirement. There is no more reason why an
Army or Navy officer should be maintained
Nv the governments after he ceases to render
service thereforthan there is to maintain those
who serve the government in a civil capacity
Besides, 1t has built up class of aristocracy
who regard themselves above ordinary NOR
tals-those who are taxed for their support.
Congress should repeal all laws paying salaries
to persons not rendering service to the gov

A joint meeting of the national and execu-
tive committees of the Union League was
held in Washington on Wednesday. While
the meeting was considering resolution to
appoint committee to consider ways and
means to overthrow "bourbonism and misrule'
in the South, Representative Dezendorf,
of Virginia, created a sensation by denouncing
Malone and his measures in very severe
terms He urged that Republicans should
do all in their power to dissolve the alliance
between Malone and the administration.

Those who talk of Mr.. Carlisle as southern
speaker Of an exc Confederate house, overlook
the fact that a majority of the Democratic
members are from the North. The Southern
states proper are represented by seventy-fye
Democrats, the border states missouri and
kentucky by twenty three, and the Northern
states by ninety-eight. Even classifying Mis-
souri, and Kentucky with the south. the Dem
ocratic representation would be tie-9s to
%. Of the 106 votes that elected Mr.. Car
Isle, 50 came from the North, 10 from the
border states, and 80 from the South. Mr..
Randall's vote of So was made up of 80 from
the North and 20 from the South. So that
Mr.. Carlisle received more Northern votes
than did Randall. fact worthy of note in
regard to the Southern representation, is that
the ext Confederate element is by no means so
large as formerly. Many of the new mem
bers from that section are men who have at
tanned prominence since the close of the war.
