rs The Hartford county Republicans have one
of the best tickets in the field ever presented to
the voters of that county, and judging from what
we hear in intercourse with the people we
know it will get many Democratic votes, besides
the united support of the Republicans. The Com
missioners' ticket is particularly we'll thought of
and Messrs. Stevenson A. Williams, Edward M.
Allen and Arthur Vosbury, three of the nominees,
will draw largely from the Democratic side.

@Politics in Baltimore are getting exceed
ingly warm and there is much speculation as to
who the nominee of the regulars for Mayor will
be, it being now generally conceded that Gen.
Latrobe will not be the man. The chances are
that james Hodges, Esq, will get the nomina-
ton. He is a member of the WELL known firm
of Hodges Bros, and is highly esteemed gen.
tleman who has several times heretofore taken a
part in the Independent movements in the city.

GS-John W. Davis, Esq, one of the Police
Commissioners of Baltimore, resigned on Thurs
day and Gov. Lloyd appointed Major j. D. Fer
guson to fill the vacancy. The Major was one of
the Supervisors of Election and his appointment
as Police Commissioner made vacancy in the
Board of Supervisors which was filed by the ap
pointment of DR.. W. E. Thornton, a member of
the City Council. 1t is thought these changes
have some political significance.

Gs- There does not appear to be any DISPOSE
ton on the part of Democrats to kick at the nom
inees on their county ticket. So far as we have
been able to learn general approval of the ticket
is expressed, and whilst it is not as strong an ag
gregation as might have been gotten up, yet it is
respectable ticket composed for the most part of
competent men, and better than the average tick
ct set up by the Democrats in this county. We
believe it will be supported with unanimity.

@-The issues are now fairly Joined in Balti-
more county and with three tickets in the field the
most fastidious voter should be able to please him
self. Certainly no man will decline to vote be-
cause he has not enough candidates to select FROM
The most obtuse individual can make up ticket
to suit himself from the many names presented.

-One of the Baltimore papers mentions the
name of Hon. John v. L. Findlay as a possible
candidate for U. S. Senator against Senator Cor
man. Mr.. Findlay, although Democratic Rep
resentative in Congress from the city, is taking
an active interest in the proposed independent
movement, along with many other prominent
Democrats He is a shrewd lawyer and one of
the most brilliant orators in the State.

Opium Dens and Thieves.
". Y. San.

~. I. Sun.
Some of the opium dens in the large cities are
owned by Americans, it is now said, while SEEM
inely the enterprises of the Cinnamon who con-
duct them. The practice is to bring men in
through the enticement of fellows who pretend to
be like the Victims bent on seeing the vices of
the town. Pretence is made of inquiring out a
den, and of difficulty in gaining admission. Then
the two smoke and when the dupe is unconscious
his pockets riaed. He discovers his loss on
awaking, but his companion pretends to have
been plundered too and they conclude to make
any report to the police would expose them to
ridicule. In this way robberies are committed in
the mock opium resorts very extensively.

IDENTIFY taking life comfortably at HON
and devoting themselves to domestic
pleasures and the absorption of th
good things which come upon this table
on such occasions. Thanksgiving day
is becoming more and more a home
affair-a day for family reunions, relax
ations and quiet festive ipdulgencies.
The churches were well attended in the
morning, and after mans duty to God
was duly executed, mans duty to man
ensued and wal faithfully observed. The
evening brought crowds to the places of
public resort and the later nocturnal
meditations were disturbed by visions
which brought to the front the antigua.
ted representatives of generations
which long years ago deveured their
last Thanksgiving turkey. 1t was o day
and a night full of pleasure and accom-
panying torture-the proverbial thorn
along with the rose.
