@-It now appears pretty well settled that
Hon. VIM. Pinkney Whyte will be candidate
for Congress in Baltimore, DR.. Cole being in such
delicate health as to require his retirement at the
end of the present session. What will be the at
titude of the managers towards Mr.. Whyte it is
not possible at this time to say, but it has been
intimated that if they turn him down he will be-
come an independent candidate. However, there
may be no foundation for this latter but it is
tain that Mr.. Whyte is very strong man and
might be able to beat any one the managers could
Dit against him. The course Mr.. Findlay has
pursued in Congress has not been satisfactory to
the party managers and he will not be renOmina-
ted. But it is given out that he will not 60 into
the primaries, but that he will run as an indie
pendent, in which event he will make heap of
trouble for somebody. Those spoken of in Mr..
Findlay's district for the regular nomination are
Judge VIM. A. Fisher and Hon. Isidor Rayner.

@-It is now apparent that the friends of
Mr.. James G. Blaine intend to push him again
for the Republican nomination for the Presidency
in 1888. The Blaine organs throughout the
country are coming out slowly but surely and the
whole tendency seems in this direction. Mr..
Blaine, when questioned on the subject, would
not express himself but rather gave out the
idea that such thing as his denomination might
take place. 1t will no doubt strike the sober
minded people of the country that this time is
rather too early to commence booming any man
for 'SS, and the candidate who can raise the big
gest howl now may prove dead weight by the
time the next convention meets. The better plan
would be to go slow and let events shape them
selves. The people of this country are growing
heartily sick of having candidates for office cram
med down their threats, and this fact it would be
we'll for the politicians to remember.

@>0 One day last week while some men en-
ployed by Peter Herdic, contractor, in excava-
ting for the water works at Huntingdon, Pa, one
of them came across an earthen pot, securely seal
ed, which was filled to the brim with Mexican
and American gold and silver coins of ancient
date. The finder refuses to make known the
amount the pot contained, but Herdic, the con-
tractor, put in claim for the treasure on the
ground that it was found on his property. A
woman, whose husband had sold the land to Her.
die, also put in claim for the money, alleging
that it was buried years ago by him for safe
keeping. All the parties have employed counsel
and big law suit will be the rsult.

@ Ex- Congressman Frank Hurd, of Ohio
who is rank free-trader, in an interview in New
York few days ago, expressed himself very
freely. He says that the action of the Democrats
in Congress in refusing to vote with Morrison on
the question of bringing up his tariff bill, means
a rupture in the party, and adds that those DEM
ocrats who voted with the Republicans on this
question will finally secede and join the Republic
can party. Mr.. Hurd thinks that as soon as the
Democratic party adopts the free trade issue it
will be able to win every time 1t is evident that
majority of Mr.. Hurd's party is not in accord
with him in this matter. His free trade views
were the cause of his last defeat in Ohio and it is
strange that he has not learned lesson from this.

9-A committee of prominent citizens is now
engaged in investigating the affairs of Calvert
county which are controlled by the County Com
missioners. Complaints were brought to the
attention of the grand jury concerning the condi-

investigation. The taxes in that county are un-
usually high and still increasing, and the people
are becoming alarmed.

Is- Sam Jones, who is now holding forth in
Indianapolis, has big fight on his hands with
the Baptist ministers of Columbus, Mississippi,
whom he charged with PROSECUTING his converts,
&c. Those ministers call Jones hard names and he
retorts by saying that they are liars. This may
be all right, according to Sans views, but don't
strike other people as quite the proper conduct
for a minister of the Gospel. His sledge-hammer
style of preaching led him into this difficulty,
which will no doubt damage his influence for
good in the city where he is now laboring.
