A union depot with one railroad is
an object of undisguised interest at
Homecoming.
An immensely popular Homecoming
belle gets a letter every day from her
last mash.
People who live in the country and
have roads as well as those who dwell
in the cities should remember that it
is good and perfect drainage which
keeps the highways dry.
a malicious story has been run
down. 1t had been said that when J.
Joker Robinson, of Homecoming, heard
he had been indicted he came near
falling to the floor in great alarm.
But the truth is-instead of falling, he
arose in wrath and with clenched fists
boxed the ceiling until he had to be
hauled down.
1t is estimated by a farmer that poor
roads cost Allegany county an average
of 500 per horse. 1t is worse than
than that. The farmer can throw in
a bull calf and a years subscription to
the Cumberland independent and still
the estimate of loss will not be ex-
travagant.
The Homecoming Star tells of

of incorporation and the vigilance of

every crime but burglary and theft.

CUMBERLAND, MD, July IL, 1872.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The G. L. Wellington Home Club
had jollifcation at Narrows Park,
near this city, last Monday evening,
at which Mr.. Wellington, Mr.. D. w.
Sloan and Mr.. Benz. A. Richmond ad-
dressed the audience.
The Nens claims there were a thous-
and people present, but one must re-
member that any pretty evening like
last Monday there are anywhere from
one hundred to two hundred and fifty
people at the Park; then deduct
another hundred for eXaggeration and
it leaves about 700 people who travel
ed to the Park to listen to the speak
ers, and among them were quite num-
Der of Col. Pearre's staunchest sup
porters, who attended on the strength
of being told that it was to be a Har-
rison and Reid jollitication. That re-
port was sent out to induce the attend
ance of a republican club that takes
no hand in the Congressional fight for
the nomination, but supports the sue
cessful candidate. Some of the far
seeing members, however, mistrusted
the statement, and so the club did not
go in body. AT the Park that night
heard some of the members of the
club expressing their opinion very
forcibly of the man who reported it as
a Harrison and Reid jollitication. He
cannot plead ignorance, as he was one
of the prime movers and stands very
close to the Hon. George l.. Yelling
ton.
Mr.. Wellington did not say much
outside Of talking about the national
issues of the campaign. He did not
do very much talking in favor of his
own candidacy. He stated that the
republican party did not owe him the
nomination for Congress Ga point on
which fully agree with him. but that
if the people saw fit to ma Ike him their
standard-bearer he would do his best
to win. OF course, we all know that,
for a man does not work so hard for
the nomination unless he intends to
try and get elected. He also stated
that he did not ask the nomination for
anything he had done for the party
as he did not think such services re-
uuired remuneration at the hands of
the party, for it is every good repub-
LEANS duty to do all he can for the
success of his partyi that the victory
was sufficient reward. Those were not
his words, but that was the purpoft of
his remarks. But when he talks to a
voter on the street and asks him for
his support you might think it was a
capital crime to vote for anyone else
when he was in the field. But, after
all, Mr.. Wellington does not have to
do much talking for himself, as he has
all the politicians of the county be-
hind him TO talk for him.
Nobody is surprised that Messrs.
Sloan and Richmond are working for
Mr.. Welliugtou's candidacy, although
Mr., Richmond stated that he and Mr..
Wellington had not always agreed in

the past, at which a number of those
present smiled very knowingly.
On the contrary, Col. Pearre must
do all his own talking for himself, as
his supporters are not eloquent enough
to oppose orators who have been
talking politics from the stage for
years, but they are staunch repub-
licans when it comes to putting
in their ballots, and Mr.. We'll
lington will discover when the pri-
maries are held that he has not the
unanimous support of the county,
which, he said, was the only thing
that would make him accept the nom
nation.
Col. Pearre is far stronger in Allie
gany county to-day than Mr.. Yelling
ton, though Mr.. Wellington did
carry the county three years ago
with a majority of 1,500. That
vote, everybody knows, was made up
largely of complimentary votes which
he cannot get when running for Con-
gress. Besides which he has been
losing strength ever since he accepted
his present position and still held on
to the county treasurership, thereby
taking a LIVING out of some other per-
sons reach, as there are many men in
the county to-day who are living on
less than 500 year.
AS to Mr.. Sloan, while we do not
question his privilege of champiouing
Mr.. Welllngton'S cause. | would like
to ask him what Mr.. Pearre ever did
to him tEat caused him to east a sur
at the Colonel by comparing him to an
ignorant alderman who was in the
opposition only to attract attention.
Mr.. Sloan may some day discover that
1t would be better to pay more atten-
ton to an opposition which embraces
almost the entire younger element of
the party--the element that is not in
politics for what it can get out of it,
but to see public affairs properly add
ministered.
Now, as to my own opinion of Mr..
Wellington's candidacy, | would say
that If he had the welfare of the party
at heart, as he claims to hay9, he
would get out of the fight. Two years
ago was his opportunity. The people
showed that by their votes. He could
have carried the district then without
much trouble; but no-he yielded to
Louis b. McComas for Il $500 job in
Baltimore, and consequently demo-
crat represents this republican district
i'll Congress. Ever since that time he
has been losing strength, as the people
think if he had made his fight then he
would now be in Congress. But the
allurementS of the sub reasurershlp
seemed to be too strong. and he lost
his chance.
Now he tries to forcibly take another
mans opportunity.

A Comment With a Moral.

The recognition of Thomas Malloy's
long and unwavering fidelity to his
employing company's interests by the
officials of that corporation, elsewhere
detailed, is an added dignity to all con-
cerned.
1t shows
|, That corporations are not soulless
when real merit is manifested, and
., That it is impossible for a mis-
sionary of apostate labor to receive
and enjoy testimonials of such intrinsic
and lasting value.
The company, therefore, honored
itself by its thoughtful and liberal
acknowledgement, and Mr.. Malloy is
doubtless thankful that a beneticent
Providence did not equip him with a
walking delegates staff nor placed on
his brow a master workman's crown.
