We last week with our family made
a raid on Mr., George Stark's vineyard
and carried off about a busheI of as
nice grapes as grow anywhere. Mr..
Stark has a great many varieties but
none equal to the Concord for this
climate. H has growing about two
thousand vines principally the Con-
cord. He also has the Ives, Clinton,
Catawba, Isabella, Martha, Eumelan,
and others. He has built a grape
house with cellar to store his wine
and now has for sale wine several
years old. Those who are fond of a
good desert wine can be accommodate

There has been a regular stream of

The sympathies of all our people
go out to our good brother Flecken-

i can be well said in this instance /:
"The good die first" Mrs. Flecken-

loss is irreparable, leaving a large
family of small children. Mrs. Fleck-
enstein was Miss Liffler, of New

there are fifty-one cottages, most OF
which are handsome structures there
are two large hotels, restaurant, an
auditorium enclosed with canvass, a
beautiful Office, with six rooms. three
stores, and depot building. Nine
teen wells have been sunk and three
more are contracted for. Last fall the
lake was made and large ice house
was filled with ice from it. A beau
tiful boat house was erected and boats
provided this spring. Considerable
grading was done on the roads last
spring, the work of cleaning up con-
tinued all summer, and during the
fall we have made about ten thous-
and five hundred feet of roads, thirty
feet wide. We are now connecting
one of the streets with the B. & 0.
drive from the Deer Park road.
Much other work has been done
which l will not mention. Between
this and next July expect to be able
to report several other cottages and
many other improvements If any
doubt my report [ would be glad to
see them here, where they may see
for themselves.

Oakland, to witness the marriage of
Mr.. Edward I. West and Miss Addie

the many improvements made here,

The Presidential vote of 1880 is COM
pared by counties and parties with
the vote of1S76. with majorities, loss
eS and gains and interesting side
notes. The same care is exhibited in
showing results in State and Con-
gresslonal tickets, while the recent
Judicial election in Baltimore is fig
ured out to the minutest details. The
vote Democratic and Independent is
shown by wards and precincts, and
compared with the Congressional
vote cast the same year for Demo

is decidedly interesting and instruc-

Mcl4ane and HOltOn for Congress in
their respective districts with the
votes cast for other candidates in the

The Democratic Meeting.

The Democratic meeting in Oak
land, Friday of last Week, was the
smallest in point of numbers, and the
most spiritless political gathering
ever held in Oakland. Or. E. H.
Bartlett, no doubt against his wish,
presided. The candidate for COVER

The Republican Meeting at Oakland.

The Republican meeting in Oak
land Tuesday afternoon was a de-
cided success. Although the meet
ing was not as large as it should
have been, yet it was much larger
than the Democratic meeting Friday
of last week. We noticed represen-
tative men from eight of the eleven
districts present.
The meeting was held in Offutt's
Hall, and was called to order at
O'Clock by the chairman Of the county
committee, who announced the fol-
lowing officers:
President. Mr.. E. G. TiIlson.
Vice Presidents, Messrs. j. u.
Browning. w. w. Frazee, S. j..
Beachy, Isaac H. Kooken, Henry
Kamp, Samuel Ferguson, VIM. w.
A'hby, II. G. Sanders, George w.
Blocher, Joseph Inskeep.
Secretaries, J, /. Livingston, f. A.
Thayer, J. w. White.
The meeting was opened by H.
Wheeler Combs, Esq. one of our can
didates for the House of Delegates,
who, after making a few remarks in.
trOduced Hon. Hart B. Hoiton, our
candidate for Governor. Mr.. HOlt0n
expressed his pleasure at seeing so
large an attendance, and qualification
at the greeting extended to HIM. He
referred to the necessity of reform in
the State, and promised if elected to
carry out the reforms demanded in
our platform.
Col. MuIIikin was next introduced,
but stated that as he had been assigh-
ed to the evening meeting, he would
give way to Gen. Adam +. King,
who was then introduced and adj
dressed himself to his attentive audi
ence for about an hour. Gen. Kings
speech was very G2scibie and ell quent
and he was frequently appauded.
AT the close of Gen. Kings address
the meeting djourned until u O'Clock
at which time a large audience was
present. The chairman of the meet
ing being absent, w. II. Tower, ESQ.,,
vas called upon to preside. The meet
ing was addressed by Col. Mullikin
and Major H. r, Torbert, each
gentleman occupying about an hour.
Both gentlemen made most excellent
speeches, the main tonic being the
need of reform in our State affairs.
The meeting accomplished a good
work for our cause in Garrett county,
and we are more than ever convinced
that our entire ticket will he elected
by as good majorities AS in 1879.

THE SWINE MARKET,
There has been fair increase in the
offerings oyer the rather full receipts

The GreenviIle IS. CO. Ne,os says {
IF Benjamin F. Butler has ever been
inspired for a single moment of his
evil life with generous or manly
feeling, there is no evidence of it on
record. He is a type of all that is
mean, false, brutal and despisable in
man. There is not in the peniten-
tiary in the country one who does
not deserve public confidence and
esteem better than Butler. Yet, if
by any freak of insanity a Demo-
cratic convention should nominate
him, we would support him because
this newspaper is Democratic and
will always be loyal TO its party.1

Senator Sherman says that the Res
publican defeat in Ohio was caused
by the contest on the temperance
question driving away all the Ger
man Republicans, but he has entire
confidence that on general political
issues the State is thoroughly Repub-
lican. He says: "If, as / suppose,
the Democrats have carried the leg
islature, they will have the burden Of
the temperance question, and if they
fail to meet the advancing state of
public opinion in Ohio on that ques-
ton, they will be defeated as we have
BEEN"

Mr.. McLane did thing in his
Academy Of Music speech the other
evening that should not even now
pass unnoticed. In his demagOgue's
appeal to the wOrkingmen for their
suffrages he alluded to the affair of
the glass-bloWer3 in Baltimore, a few
months ago, and said the strikers
were arrested for simply associating
together to protect themselves as cap
itaIiSts had done. Now Mr.. MclIane,
being an intelligent man, knows bet
ter than that. He knows that the
men arrested were charged with per-
sonal interference with men who
wanted to take the places of the
strikers at lower wages, and Mr.. Nc
Lanes deep-sOunding lament over
the case did not mislead any one
among his hearers, for the reason that
every one knew that if there was such
a law in force in any part of Mary
land it would apply here, and here it
is notorious that there is no attempt
at interference with workingmen as
sociating together in labor organiza-
tons.
And let US ask Mr.. McLane one
plain straightforward question. If
there is any fault with the laws of
Maryland touching workingmen who
irresponsible? Why the Democratic
party. That organization has been
in power in this State for the last IS
years, covering the most important
and interesting period in the history
of the labor party in this country.
Yet what has the Democratic party of
Maryland ever done for laboring men
that its chief fugIeman should set
himself up for his party as the friend
par excellence of laboring men and
ask their SURFACES on the ground of
championship !-Cm,b. Nel0S.

United States has no power to legis-
late on the subject. This decision,
however, only applies to the consti-
nationality of the law so far as it APP
plies to the States, the District of
Columbia and the Territories being
excepted, as with them Congress has
supreme legislative jurisdiction. JUS
tice Harlan dissented from the opin-
ion of the court. He said that he had
not yet formulated his views, but
disagreed with his colleagues largely
for the reason that the decision de-
feats the will of the people and of the
trainers of the law, who wanted equal
rights secured to all persons alike,
without reference to race, color or
previous condition of servitude. The
decision is creating great deal of
talk in Washington. and is the topic
of discussion at the hotels and other
resorts. Senators Bayard and Gar
land and S. S. Cox expressed their
approval of the point made by the
court, and said the conclusions were
clearly sound and logical. Fred
Douglass, Minister Langston, and
prominent colored men were inter-
viewed this afternoon, and they ex-
press surprise and regret over the re-
suit of the test cases. Fred Douglass
said the most beneficent, and the
GROWING act of reconstruction had
been rendered valueless by this action
of the court. and the enemies of the
colored race every where would re-
joice. Another colored leader said ;
