Found Drowned.

On last Friday the body of white man
was found fos ting in Port Tobacco creek near
Brent's Wharf, and from its appearance the
man had been in the water for some days, as
the face and hands had been very badly eaten
and the body so much decomposed that 1t was
with difficulty that it could be handled. 1t
was secured and brought to shore by Capt.
Henry Beeler and some of the hands OF his
vessel which was going in the creek at the time
The decomposition of the body was SO ad-
vanced that the men could only remain near
il by tying handkerchiefs saturated with CAM
phor about their faces, and at the instance OF
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Brent, the body WAS at once
buried. Jusiic Smoot WAS notified OF the ind
ing and he at once repaired to the place, to see
if an INQUEST was necessary, but on learning
gain disnter the body, he deemed an inquest
unnecessary and decided to allow the body to
remain undsturbed. Later in the day two
friends of the drowned man from Washington,
Messrs Charles II. Payne and Geo. W Dugan,
came to town and obtained r@rmission from
Justic Smoot to take up the body and convey
it to Washington for burial. This they did
and the drowned man was carried to Wash
ington on Saturday morning by his friends.
From them it was learned that the unfor innate
man was VIM. S. Brown, and that he was
drowned off the Lady Of the Lake in the Poto-
mac river "a little above Tolsou's Wharf on the
Tuesday night before while on his way from
Norfolk to his home in Washington. 1t is sup
posed that Brown. who had been MS eep, either
pot I'D in a somn .lulistc fit or else before he
was thoroughly awake and walked or fell of
the boat into the water about l O'Clock at
night. Efforts we're made TO find him at the
time by the crew of the vessel but without sue
cess. H. was without his coat and shoes when
found and these were found in the boat at the
place where he had been sleeping.

Taking Shape.
The building committee who have in
charge the rebuilding of Christ church, in this
village, meet in the vestry room of the church
on Wed nesday to consider the bids of the con-
tractors for the work II was decided to ac-
cept the bid of Mr. J. H. Gibbons, who con-
tracts to do all the work necessary for So, 800,
and this gentleman will at once proceed with
the building. We have seen the plans of the
new building, and must say the style of arch
lecture, proposed is very attractive and pleas
ing, and that the church when finished will be
one of the handsomest in this section and will
add greatly to the appearance of that portion of
our village in which it is situated. Mr.. Glib
bons has a reputation of being thorough
gentleman in every particular and thorough
master of his business, so we have little doubt
but that the congregation will get everything
specific d md contracted for. The church is ex
pee.ed to be finished late in the fall.

Republican Convention.
The Republican county convention tt
select four delegates to represent Charles coun
ty in the Republics Congressional nominating
convention which met at Llural yesterday, as
sembled here on Monday last and was in ever,
way similar TO the former conventions of tht
party. The "friend and brother predominatet
and did ''de votiu" while their white allies die
the talking. The convention was organized BY
the selection of L. NJ. Soulher land president,
and Geo. |. Chapeelear, secretary. Mr.. Sidney
E. Mudd, who has again taken up his residence
in the county with view of political prefer
ment, was delegate from the Sth district, ane
the FIRST business before the body was tht

Mr.. Hart B. Holton the unanimous choice o
the Republican party of Charles county for q
reuominaton TO Congress. The resolution wa:
adopted without dissent, notwithstanding Mr.
Holton's repeated declarations that he did moi
desire and would not accept a denomination
Several names were then placed in nomination
rs delegates and the balloting commenced
This was only relieved by the fact that several
Of the coterie of white managers instead o.
placing their ticket in the hands of their colorei
colleagues pursued the safer course of doing nil
the voting themselves, and We particularly
noticed enc instance where 4 white boss voted
Eve successive tickets TO AS many different
names. 1t thus appears that the seed sown by
DR.. Wilmer is at length taking root, and We
presume the day is not distant hen nine me n
will compose the Republican conventions OF
this county. As result of this mode OF pro,
cedure the following were elected as delegates BY
IA large majority: DR., F. NJ. Lancaster, Sidney
E. Mudd, Geo. H. Swami and Richard Mason,
the last two are colored. 1t is understood that
DR.. Lancaster is the second choice of the dele

Base Bali.

Base BaI!.
Base ball en- husiasim is at length being
aroused throughout the county and nearly
every neis hborhood now has nine in the field,
and several games were contested during the
past week. On Thursday, the 2lst inst, a
game was played at New port between the club
at that place and Bryantown, and the New
porters fell easy victims to the proves of its op-
ponent by the score of SO 10 8. On Saturday a
game was played at Hill Top be ween the Hill
Top and the Pick-ups, and the LITTER were vic
torious by the score of 10 to 4. On the same
day Port Tobacco and Pomonkey contested at
Pomonkey. The game could not be finished On
account of darkness. and when the playing
ceased Port Tobacco WAS far in the lead with
every prospect of distancing their competitors
in the first heat Port Tobacco would like to
meet Bryantown and take some Of the concert
out of them, as we understand they think them
selves invincible. We imagine we could make
them fall button hole or two and We are
ready to meet them at any time.
