A syndicate has been formed in Eng
land for the purpose of purchasing the old
Confederate bonds and holding the same
with view OF procuring their partial re-
demption by the States which constituted
the old confederacy. The movement is
said to have some prominent Englishmen
connected with it, and their proposed me-
thod of procedure is said to be t. hold
these bonds as a menace to the credit of
the South, and thus coerce those States to
partially redeem the debt. This is all
arrant nonsense, and it is not likely that
the credit of the progressive South will
be in any degree deprecated in the
estimation of live business men by the
parading of this portion of the past history
of that section before the financial markets.
When the confederacy fell, its Indebtedness
which had been honestly contracted, went
down with it, like itself, never again to
be resurrected. All business men know
this, and that it is the merest nonsense to
think about the States of the South assum-
ing this old debt. England had it in her
power to protect her confederate bond
holders, by recognizing the confederacy
but this she carefully avoided, unjustly, as
many then thought, properly as we all
now know. 1t is too late now to talk
about restricting the extinct debt of the
dsfunct confederacy, ye know.

The record of mortality among man
kind OF late, in different parts of the world,
has been unusually great. With disasters
to travellers and excursionists, natural
phenomena and the prevalence of the
cholera and yellow fever scourges, great
many people have been in a short period
brought to an untimely grave. The ap-
paliing accident at Tivoli, on Monday of
lsst week; in which sixty-three unfortu-
mates were precipitated into eternity, was
followed in quick and startling succession
by the news Of . railroad disaster in the
State of New York in which twenty-five
persons lost their lives, and this in turn
was followed up by the sad intelligence
by cable of an earthquake in Italy in
which many people persisted, estimated
by some as high as three thousand. This
furnishes an astonishing mortality record
tor a single week, and when this is in
creased by the ravages of cholera in the
East, the yellow fever in the tropical lat
itudes and the numerous tornadoes and
tempests that have lately swept over this
continent, the most hardened sinner is apt
to be brought to realization OF the fact
that sin the midst of life we are iI death.

Carey Assassinated.

LONDON, July 3o.-Iutelisence has
Just been received here that James Carey,
the iniormer in the Ph9nix Park murder
cases, was shot dead yesterday on the
steamship Melrose while she was between
Cape Town and Port f izabeth. The deed
was committed by a fe low passenger nam
ed O'Donnell O'Donnell took passage
here by Messrs. Donald Carrie Il Co. s
mail steamship KinfIuns Castle, which
left DIrtmou on the 6 instant for Cape
Town, where she transferred her passen-
gers who were destined to Port Eliz lbeth
Natal and other coast ports to the steam
ship Melrose. The report of the shooting
of Carey caused intense excitement in the
west end of London and in the House of
Commons.
The Daily Telegraph says the govern
ment have little doubt that Cirey was
followed from Dublin. They believe that
the Fenians had taken most elaborate
measures to prevent his escape Accord
ing to the latest. accounts the murder &C.
cured at sea. Carey was MT killed out
right, but died shortly after he was shot
O'Donnell surrended himself quietly. He
was placed in irons. and was handed over
to the police when the Mtlrose arrived at
Port Elizabeth.

We invite attention to the letter of Mr..
NJ. E. Cornell, a northern gentlemen who
settled in this county about two years
ago, in which his impressions regarding
our section of the county are given. MIR.
Cornell has some practical knowledge
of agriculture, aud has had experience in
different parts of this country. His favor
able opinion regarding the advantages
and resources Of our county go to confirm
the view we have frequently advanced.
that no enterprising stranger with any
knowledge of agriculture who settles in
Charles county and exercises any Judge
ment in locating himself will fail to sue
coed, or become dissa isfied here. His
suggestion regarding the Importance Of ag-
ricultural fairs impresSes US as good one.
These are the order of the day in most OF
the agricultural States of the South as
we'll as the North and West, and it would
be a good idea to re- instate them here.
While our farmers might not make very
impressive showing at first; this custom
which is an unfailing index OF agricultural
enterprise, would be conducive to an i'm
provement in methods, and, an Increase
of enterprise and industry.

The TiyOli Disaster.

The terrible disaster at Tiyoli last week,
by which so manv happy homes were sad
dened and glad hearts were bllghted, is
still discussed in Baltimore city. 1t seems
now that the condition of the wharf at
that place had for some time past been
known to the proprietors so be in an I'M
sound and dangerous condition. Mr.. AL
bert, the owner of the property, had for
some months before the disaster been urg-
ing upon the lessee, Mr.. Debillius, the
necessity of making some repairs to the
structure which, it appears, Debillius had
promised, but failed to do. The atten-
ton of the assistant States attorney OF
Baltimore city had been called to the mat
ter by Mr. Albert, but he, believing Mr..
Albert to be abnormally excited over the
Brooklyn Bridge disaster, paid little at
tention to the matter. The coroner's jury,
which held an inquest over the victims OF
the disaster, censured Debiliius for culpa-
BILE negligence. The tragedy was referred
to in nearly all the pulpits in the city on
Sunday, and most of the Rev. clergy were
inclined to place the whole blame of the
terrible accident upon the negligent man.
ayers of the resort. Father Starr, the pas
tor of the congregation to which most OF
the victims belonged, exhorted his hearers
to suspend judgment regarding the re-
sponsibility for the disaster, and wait IN
til the same had been determined by the
regular legal investigation which would
be instituted. He said:
1--WE have no right to assume where the
responsibility rests. The law though slow
is for that reason wise. We should be
thankful to live in a country where the
people are law abiding, the laws are just
and upright, and are allowed to take their
course. II does not contemplate murder
in circumstances like those of the disaster
by which so many of our people lost their

No man has ever been reelected to the
Governorship of Maryland. Our people
have always retired their Governors after
one term. They believe in the one-term
system, and have become SO firm in the
conviction that it is right that they have
engrafted it in their Bill of Rights.
CART. s4.-That long continuance in
the Executive Departments of power or
trust is dangerous to liberty rotation.
therefore in those Departments is one of
the best securities of permanent freedom
This seems to be the will of the people,
and those Executives who most respect
the popular desire have retired witho ut
asking the people to violate their written
law for their personal accommodation.
Those who do not respect the popular
wish enough to retire voluntarily have
been retired by the people without excep-
ton.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
A Straw Vote on the Standard bearers
of Two Great Parties.


Early in June the New York Times sent
letters to over 400 points in the thirty
eight states, asking answers to the follow
ing questions
I.-Who is most frequently spoken of by
Republicans in your vicinity as their tlrsf
choice for Presidential candidate in 1881 7
u.-What other names are mentioned
lll.-Who is most frequently mentioned
by Democrats in Your neighbnrhnod rs
their first choice for Presidential candi-
date in 1884
lN.-What other names are mentioned,
In about what order, as indicating their
popularity
The Times recently published answers
from 344 of these points, the number rang
ing from A in New York to in Nevada,
or an average of from each state. The
Times says its object was to obtain the
preferences OF the people-the voter
rather than the choice of the workers OF
political machinery. On the Republican
side MIR. Blaine leads. The Times returns
lo3 OF the correspondents representing an
expression of preference for the Maine
statesman. Apart from his own state he
finds most favor in the Middle and West
ern states, nearly all the great Republican
states. President Arthur is next in
strength, with 81 preferences. His friends
are pretty evenly distributed throughout
the country, and the favorable feeling to-
ward him in almost everywhere reported
AS increasing constantly. In the Sou h
the office holders are no'ed as of course
in his interest. 1t is clearly shown in the
letters from the South that large part OF
or indeed the entire vote of that part oil
the country will be cast in the national
convention for Chester A. Arthur. Third
in the contest is Senator f lmunds, with
59i preferences. His strength is very
evenly distributed in the different states
He is stronger, indeed, as second choice
than at first, and leads the other candi,
dates when that question Is considered
The other Republican preferences express
ed are as follows: Grant 49, John
Sherman II, Logan IA, Lincoln l2t
Harrison 70, w. T. Sherman 6, Gresham 4
Fairchild 4. Hawley 2, Cornell ,. Allison
.. S. F. Miller 2, Sheridan l, Folger
| Window I. ne expression 20.
On the Democratic side the "preferen
ces" for Hon S. J. Tilden are more decit
ed even than on the Republican side fo
Mr.. Blaine. His poll of preference reach
es 100, only seven states giving him NJ
favor. Mcdonald comes next To Iliden
with 72s points. Geographically, TIL
Eastern, Middle and extreme Western
States alone disfavor him, and in these III
is displaced mainly by Butler, Bayard an'
Thurman. He makes a very strong show
ing as second choice. Senator Btyart
comes next with 81 points. In Mary
land out Of 9 points report favoraoiy 10

are credited with the following preieren

eief Of Tennessee, has been found guilty,
by jury, of embezzlement of the public
money, and sentenced to twenty-years i'm
prisonment in the Safe penitentiary, and
to pay as q fine the amount of his defalca-

has been taken to the Supreme Court of
the State, pending which the Judge of the
court that tried him has admitted him to

must either have pretty high opinion of
the ex-treasurer's honesty toward his sure

1t is gratifying to learn that the cholera
is less virulent in Cairo. The cases under
treatment offer hopes of recovery. 1t has
been observed that when the disease be-
gins with the virulence that characterized
the present attack in Egypt it promptly
wanes after an interval of about two
weeks, and becomes then comparatively
innocuous. The number Of deaths in
Cairo from cholera on Monday was 275, or
but little more than half the number of a
week ago.

Jon of Mr.. Hamilton wa.
thoush industrious Eff 'een "au
by the Baa..nole american, the Republi-
can organ, and some others to make it APP
pear that the Anne Arundel contest was
pure faction fight, nothing is farther from
the truth. While Mr.. Bannon undertook
to assert that he was fighting the battles
and carrying the banner of ''reforrum" and
Hamilton, and that his victory would
mean their victory, and his defeat indicate
the downfall OF political virtne and Ham
ilton, the contest was purely personal
one. The Democrats Of Anne Arundel
simply decided that DR.. Wells was the
more fitting representative of their county
in the senatorial councils than Mr.. Ban
non, and at the same time that they can
not give their sanction to the violation OF
the old tradition of the State, fixing q
single term for Governor. in favor Of Mr.
Hamilton. Nearly all the former sup
porters Of Mr.. Hamilton, in this county
and elsewhere, fully concur in this Judge
ment. But to say that sectional lines were
strictly drawn with view of prescribing
all the former supporters of Mr.. Hamilton,
is 'simply absurd. This was clearly disprov-
ed by the choice ofdelegates to the lower
house of Assembly made by the convcn-
ton. Of the four delegates chosen, two
were supporters of Gov. Hamilton.
