time for the committee appointed by the ma
tional convention to notify James G. Blaine of
his nomination to the Presidential candidacy of
the Itepuplica1 party TO perform that duty, a
considerable crowd had collected around fha
Augusta House to gaze with curiosity upon the
members of the committee.
Promptly at11 oalock the National Commit

dence. and were received by Mrs Blaine. AS tha
day was progressively hot, and the rooms of the
mansion crowed almost to suffocation II was
suggested that the rese5ntation address be made
upon the lawn Accordingly the committee and
guests proceeded to a well-shaded portion of
the grounds, where semi circle was formed
and allstood with uncovered heads, making an
impressive scene The rustling of the spreading
branches of the great elms and the buzzing of
insects were the only sounds to disturb the still
ness. When all was in readiness Mr.. Blaine
was escorted to the lawn, where he stood within
the arc OF the semf-circle. Gen. Henderson then
stepped forward and presented the address Of

es-Tbe extremely modest Clerk of the Circuit

mTThe extremely modest Clerk of the Circuit
Court (who has held lucrative offices in Baltimore
county for upwards of twenty years. would like
to go as a delegate to the Democratic National
convention, but, he expresses it in last weeks
Journal he is "not able pecuniariiy, to enter the
contest" Mr.. Talbot, he says, can go into the
primaries for Congress, because if he wins he bags
$4,000 But if he, the said modest Clerk, should
by any possible chance win, he would go to Chi
cago, and be obliged-just think of the gross in
justice Ito pay his own expenses" We have
always thought that when gentleman was sent
to Congress that he went for the honor attached
to that high Office, and not with purely mercenary
ends in view, but it appears that our very modest
Clerk takes a different view of it. 1t is plain,
therefore, that he is Democrat "for revenue only"
1t is hardly likely that he will be called upon
to "pay his own expenses" to Chicago. The Dem
ocraey-because of his unfortunate "pecuniary"
condition-will very kindly leave him at home
and send some man who will gladly pay his own
expenses, without making any reference to the
outlay through the newspapers. If man who
has held paying Offices in Baltimore county for
quarter of century is "not able, pecuniariy," to
enter primary meeting contest, in the name of
heaven who is able to do so? The poor fellows
who have been hanging on the ragged edge for
years, expecting finally to get fat Office at the
hands of the Democracy of the county, will doubt
less be crushed entirely when they hear their
modest Clerk say HE is not "pecuniarily able" to
enter primary contest.

Ferdinand Ward, of the firm of Grant
Ward, New York brokers, who failed for such an
enormous amount, now languishes in Jail and his
prospects for the penitentiary are very good
James D. Fish, president of the defunct National
Marine Bank, who stood in with Ward in his
schemes, has also been arrested, and it is likely
other arrests will be made. This swindle of
Wards is perhaps the biggest thing of the kind
which has occurred in this or any other coun-
try, and will doubtless prove lesson to other
monied men who desire to make more than the
legal rate of interest their capital by rsking it
in all kinds of wild cat schemes. Ward was too
smart for number of millionaires, some of whom
have been reduced to poverty through over-cOnf-
denee in this champion wrecker of the nineteenth
century.

NS- Commenting upon Wayne MacVeagh's ill
natured attack upon President Arthur, one Of our
exchanges thinks that, like all narrow-souled
men, MacVeagh cannot forgive anyone who has
been successful by virtue of his own exertions.-
He has never achieved distinction in that way
himself, and naturally does not believe in it. Be-
ginning life humbly, MacVeagh strobe into prom
inence by the high road of matrimony, and main
tanned his position as the son-in law of an emf
nent father-in-la until unreasoning fate brought
about a combination of events which eev ated him
to place in Garfeld's Cabinet. An equally un-
reasoning fate sent Garfield to his grave and re-
turned MacVeagh to the son-in-law business,
where he has since remained nursing his i'll humor
and raving at all success won by honest effort

~-In the last few days dispatches from Chi
cago contain not little interesting gossip touch
ing the disappearing convention. Some in
formation is furnished in regard to the "head-
quarters of candidates, nominations for the chair
of the great gathering are mentioned, the vast
hall in which the momentous business is to be
transacted is described, and there are readable
references to such puzzling elements as dark
horses, Southern delegates and the Independents
The suberb enterprise of Chicago appears in the
statement that the 600 directors of the hall of the
convention, failing to obtain seats, have gone to
their own special accommodation.

The officers of the 9th district, Messrs. ONeal,

except requested on special occasions, nor do Of
fcers Miller and Chambers come as far east as
the railroad unless specially requested. The peo-
pie think that these officers have enough to do,
but they cannot understand why Woodberry
proper should be as destitute of police protection
as if the taxpayers did not help to support a
police system said to have been organized for their
benefit.
Charles D. Moore shows disposition to visit
us, as he very seldom fails to be on hand when

but what puzzles us is why the Commissioners or
