POLITICAL VITuPERATIoN.-The annual
personal abuse of Democratic candidates has
commenced and the unsavory work will
doubtless be continued until after the cleo
ton. No mans character is spared, no mat
ter how high he may stand in the estimation
of his ncighbors and of those who know him
best, but all alike are subjected to misrepren-
tation, SANDER and abuse. Fair and Just cri-
ticism of political candidates can not be OBJ
jected to, but wholesale abuse of honorable
men, whose only crime is that they have of
have been accepted by their party, is I'M
fered themselves rs candidates for office and
justifable. The more violently II man is
abused by his political opponents the better
are his chances of election

THE BRIDGE OVER THE SusQuEHANNA.-The
board of Public Works, Gov. Hamilton, Comp
troler Heating and Treasurer Compton, met at
Annapolis on the 9th instant, and approved the
plans of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for
their bridge over the Susquehanna. The bridge
is to be 90 feet high, without a draw, and the
railroad company is required TO keep tugboat
at the spot at lis own expense TO assist vessels
in passing under the bridge. The citizens OF
Port Deposit claim that bridge of the kind
proposed will greatly injure the business OF
their town by impeding the approach of vessels
with high topmasts, unless they lower them, a
work of some trouble on many vessels. The
same Inconvenience will he felt at Lapidum,
where vessels with hay and grain are loaded,
and fertilizers, agricultural implements, &c,
are received by water. The Port Deposit people
desire bridge 125 feet high, that will enable
any vessel engaged in traffic at that port to pass
under without difficulty, or drawbridge. 1t is
asserted that the opposition tot low bridge
without draw will be continued and that the
matter will probably be carried into the
courts.

A SHORT CORN CROP PREDICTED. Farmers
generally are inclined to take a sombre view OF
growing crops aud predict failure, but it
seems that their anicipations of Il short corn
crop this year are likely to he realized. The
stand was bad, to begin with much of the seed
having failed to germinate, and frequent rains
causing thick crust to form on the ground
after planting. After the corn came up the
continued rains packed the soil, making it i'm
possible to work some fields thoroughly, while
Others were taken possession by weeds. The
fields now present a sorry appearance and it il
believed that the yield will be light Sugar
corn has, perhaps, suffered more than field corn
Mr.. james B. Krnly of llopcwell, The centre
of large canning region, says that his crop Of
sugar corn will not be one half as large as last
year The same complaints are heard in Other
quarters.
