1t is wrong to assert that the poet in hi,

for Miss Goodwin's qualities, and they are
unusually attractive. She is sprightly and

The Belfast Riots.

Terrible riots began in Belfast, Ireland,
last Saturday evening, and were continued
during Sunday and Monday. The police
were unable to check the rioters, although
they fired upon them, and the military were
called out. Eleven persons are known to
have been killed and 1870 wounded. The
London Times says the riots have risen 10
the height of civil war. A dispatch says
Catholics and Professionals both accuse the
others Of having begun the fighting by wreck
ing the houses of antagonists. The scenes of
terror on Saturday, Sunday and Monday were
beyond description, the mobs lighting with a fury
like that of wild beasts. Whenever their powder
was exhausted their women seized on blasting
powder, and with flat irons ground the big
grains down until they were fit for ammunition
for guns and pistols. Boys and girls melted
bar lead and moulded 1t into bullets and slugs
The unsexed viragoes and youths of tender age
stood in the rear of the ranks of the men and
loaded their weapons for them as rapidly as they
could fire. The cessation of hostilties yesterday
was really due to the exhaustion of ammunition
more than to any other cause. No one will
ever know the number of the killed and wound
ed. After enduring the fierce charges of cavalry,
infantry and police with the courage OF veteran
soldiers the people dragged their dead and
wounded into their houses, where the women
ministered to the MANNED. General astonish-
ment was expressed that both parties proved to
be so well supplied with arms, but besides what
they have been accommodating, the Professionals
on Monday received supply from Ballymacear-
EFT, and the Ballyshinck Nationalist sent the
Catholics hundred of the big "sweetheart' re-
volvers and lot of cartridges.

Mr.. Editors: In very short time the Demo-
cratic party of the Second Congressional District
of Mary will be called upon to nominate a
candidate to represent it in the next Congress-
According to Democratic usage the present
incumbent, Hon. +. 4. Shaw, of Carroll county
should receive the nomination. His predecessors
representing this district, MIR. Archer, of this
county, and Mr.. Talbot. of Baltimore county
were not only endorsed by a denomination for a
second term, but the former gentleman was re-
nominated for three consecutive terms, making
four in all, and the latter for two consecutive
terms, making three terms in all, and represent
ing their constituents acceptably.
Now then, saying nothing of Democratic usage,
Is IL lust is # fair Is It generous, and may say
cause after serving but one term l say without
cause, for his record is untarnished. He has la
bored diligently to promote the interests of his
constituents. He has shown that he has the will
and ability to not only serve them faithfully but
also to defend his party, its men and its measures
when they are attacked by their political enc
mics. His character for integrity, for both NOR
al and political honesty, has never been ques-
toned. In a word, there Is no just cause for the
party to place upon him the seal of its condem-
nation If he had been traitor to its principles
and had betrayed the trust which had been con-
tided to him. TO turn him down would be of no
possible advantage to the party, but rather to its
discrcdIt. 1t would be setting the example of
having free fight every two years, and the par
ty demoralized and disntegrated by the efforts of
rival politicians to manipulate the primary meet
ings and county conventions in the struggle to
secure the nomination, and finally resulting in
the district falling into the hands of our political
opponents. With DR.. Shaw as our candidate
nothing could prevent his election. If Mr.. Tai
bolt should be the candidate the result. fear,
would be defeat; with any other gentleman the
outlook is doubtful.
The above remarks are not made in n spirit of
hostility TO any of the gentlemen who have been
named or may be named in connection with the
nomination for Congress in opposition to Dr.
Shaw, nor from any obligation due to DR.. Shaw
They are written in the spirit of devotion to the
Democratic party and its principles, and in the
wish that they may be perpetuated. and by one
who seeks no political favors and who is proud to
