MONET! MONEY I

We make ao earnest appeal to our delin-quent friends for settlement of over-due ac-counts standing on our books. We have in-dulged many persons during the past threeor four years in consideration of the cry of“hard times” a failure of crops, and'now, in consequence of our indulgence, “hardtimes” are reacting upon us with considerableseverity. Since the crops of last year werepretty good and there is a prospect for goodcrops this year, we confidently make the ap-peal and hope we shall not be compelled toresort to more unpleasant means to obtainsettlement. We need money for various ob-jects—among the rest, for the purpose of get-ting a supply of new type, a costly material,but much needed at this time to enable theTimes to present an appearance creditablealike to patron and publisher. We confident-ly make the call. Who will be the first tor spond to it ? 3t

Sumner for Greeley and Brown.

A number of prominent colored citizens ofWashington addressed a letter, on the 12tbult., to the Hon. Charles Sumner, asking hisopinion as to wbat action the colored voters

should take in the Presidential contest now

pending. Mr. Sumner, on Monday last, re-

plied at very considerable length to this letter.He contrasts the two candidates for the Presi-dency and pronounces Horace Greeley “a per-son of large heart and large understanding,trained to the support of human rights, al-ways beneficent with the poor, always readyfor any good cause, and never deterred byopposition or reproach, as when for long yearsbe befriended your people.” Mr. Sumnerthen further remarks: “Add to these quali-ties, conspicuous in bis life,untiring industry,which leaves no moment without its fruit;abundant political knowledge; acquaintancewith history; the instinct and grasp of states-manship ; an amiable nature; a magnani-mous soul, and, above all, an honesty whichno suspicion has touched, and you have abrief portraiture of the antecedents of HoraceGreeley,” Few of these things, says Sumner,appear in President Grant, against whom heprefers numerous grave charges and shows‘the little regard of the President for humanrights, whether in white or black.” In re-

spect to the platforms now before the peopleMr. S. says: .

..., .

“The two platforms, so far as coDeertis es-pecially the colored race, are alike in sub-stance, but that of Cincinnati is expressed interms most worthy of the equal rights itstates and claims; “We recognize the equali-ty of all men before the law and bold that itis the duty of Government in its dealingswith the people to mete out equal and exact

Justice to all of whatever nativity, race, color,or persuasion, religious or political/’ In oth-er respects the platform of Cincinnati is themost republican, inasmuch as it sets itself a-gainst those unrepublican abuses which havebeen nursed by the President into perniciousactivity.”, Further on in bis letter, Mr. Sumner says

to Kis colored friends that it is his duty to

remind them, that, as citizens'of the UnitedStates, and part of the country, tfieir welfareis indissolubly associated with that of thewhole country. Where all are prosperousthey will be gainers. “Therefore, (adds he,)while justly careful of your own rights, youcannot be indifferent to tbe blessings of goodgovernment. It is for you to consider, whetb-ef the time has not come for something betterthan the-sword, and whether a character likeHorace Greeley does not give stronger assur-ante of good government than can be foundin the iosnlter of tbe colored race, already fa-mous from the rings about him and bis plaininaptitude for civil life.”

Speaking for himself, Mr. Sumner declares

his intention to vote for Horace Greeley, andwith tbe more intelligent colored people thisdeclaration will have tbe effect to draw offmany votes from the snpport of PresidentGrant. We do not expect much from theignorant mass of colored voters, yet there is a

•prospect of even securing a portion of thatclass to help elect Greeley, ifproper influencesaxe brought to operate.

A Colored Man on the Situation.

The well-known colored lawyer, RobertMorris, of Boston, in an interview held a fewdays ago with a representative of the BostonPost, held tbe following language:

“I made up my mind long since that Hor-ace Greeley was tbe man of all others who

¦. would look out for the best interest of thecolored people, and am firmly impressed withthat idea. I have concluded to cast my votefor him in November. I regard it as thebest nomination that could have been made.Mr. Greeley has shown by bis whole life (bat

he is a capable, upright and honest man, andthat is the kind ol a man we need at tbe beadof tbe government. He has always stood bythe black roan, and whea l think bow he hasarisen from the bumble condition of his boy-hood to Els present proud position by bisown exertions,' I cannot believe be is goingto be swayed from the path, which a con-scientious regard for tbe interests of tbe blackmao points out/

As regards the sentiments of the coloredpeople in general he further said.:. . .

“The colored people every where are anxi-ously waking for Senator Sumner to speak

_o'ut, and then,.we shall know how they willstand in the. coming contest. -X may Say that

i roy action will be influenced .by whatever Mr.Su m ner saya""^which Mr. Sumner has received at tKd liapdsof the Republicans a direct insult to the color-

ed men, whom he has always defended. Ihold that party responsible for the defeat ofall the measures which have been brought for-ward fur the amelioration of the condition of,the colored men, and I hope they will soonlearn a lesson showing them tbe folly of suchproceedings. We all look upon him as ourtried and trusted leader. He has unflinch-ingly stood up for us all through our strug-gles for our rights, and we feel confident thatho will continue to defend our cause and tellus who are our friends and who our enemies.”

The following expresses his opinion of car-

pet baggers aod tbe origin of Ku-Klux:“The Republican party has spent all its

time and energy in.taking measures for wbatthey call the protection of the black men intbe South. But wbat has it all amountedto? The only result of their labors has beena lot of carpet-baggers, who have gone far todestroy every vestige of good government intbe South. Ifthey had just let tbe negroesalone, and let them have tbe right to protectthemselves, there would never have been suchan organization as tbe Eu Klux heard of.”

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.

We bad tbe pleasure of a ride from Wash-ington to Baltimore, on Saturday last, overthis road, and we were somewhat surprisedto find the road iu such excellent conditionfor travel. The road is built of the very bestmaterial, and the cars roll along as smoothlyas cars on any of tbe old and well establishedlines. Tbe arrangements in Baltimore forconveying passengers to the business portionof tbe city is not yet complete, but still the

1 inconvenience is not very great, as omnibusesconnect with street cars, only a few squaresdistant from the temporary depot on tbe out-

shirts of tbe city. At the village of Hunting-ton we had a view of a small portion of tbe

. “main stem” leading from that place to Pope’s

. Creek. As far as we could see it appeared, to be in fine working order. We learn that

this portion of the road is expected to be rea-

dy fur permanent use in tbe course fcf a few. weeks.

Southern Maryland Railroad.

> Some forty or fifty hands, from Virginia,- crossed the Potomac near Smith’s Point and

passed through our town on Tuesday last, en

' route for the line of the. Southern Maryland

i Railroad. They were in charge of a “boss,”r and are to be employed in grading this road

¦ between Brandywine, in Prince George’s, and> Point Lookout, in St. Mary's county. Wei understand that tbe company having this

¦ road in band have been pushing the work a-

• head quite energetically, and this addition to

' its force of laborers gives promise of ao early1 completion of tbe road.

School Exhibition at Mount Air.

¦ The School for young ladies at “MountAir,’ ’the residence of Capt. James H. Neale, near St.Thomas’ Church, in this county, conducted byMisses Neale, closed its first session on Tuesdaylast, oq which occasion the pupils, having beenpreviously examined, gave an interesting and

1 pleasing exhibition, composed ofa play entitled

“The Chinese Mother.” The performances ofthe young ladies were rendered in a very cred-itable manner. At the interludes Miss HortenseDigges, one of the teachers, presided at thepiano and delighted the audience with somefine selections of music. At the close of the

i exhibition, the Rev. F. McAtee ascended thestage and awarded premiums to the following

, named young ladies for improvement in alltheir studies and forhaving passed an excellent

! examination:Miss Lala Lawn, of Washington, D. C.Miss Emily Welch, of Charles county.Miss Kannie Welch, of Port Tobacco.Miss Mary Millar, of Charles county.Miss Clotildis Franklin, of Charles county.Miss Mary Emily Hamilton, of Charles coun-

A premium for learning how to write andcypher very nicely was awarded to Miss Bertie

1 Fowler, of Charles county.Too much credit cannot be awarded the

Misses Neale for the manner in which they haveconducted this school, and, as a matter ofcoun-ty pride, we think, instead of sending their

| children to schools out of the county, parentsshould patronize home enterprise. We wishthese ladies every success in their laudable un-dertaking, and. hope that at tbe re-opening oftheir school, in October, the number ofscholarswill be largely increased.

Mr. Barreda the largest private stock bol-der, must be satisfied that they will succeedin tbe enterprise or be would not be spend-ing so much as we learn be is doing in im-proving his property at Drum Point.—Cal-vert Journal.

BSTTn the French National Assembly onTuesday, M. Goulard, Minister of Finance,announced the result of tbe subscriptions to

the new loan. He stated that the booksshowed forty-one aod a half millions of francsas the aggregate amount subscribed. Thegovernment, be added, was overwhelmed withsurprise at tlie astonishing result, whichshowed that tbe defeats France bad sufferedwere an expiation, not a sign of decadence.

Tlie Right Talk.

i Senator Hendricks delivered his first cam-

-1 paign speech at Indianapolis on Saturday.—

i He was listened to with deep interest by a

, large audience. The eloquent Senator declar-ed that, since the decision at Cincinnati andBaltimore, there are but two sides to the con-

test, and that Democrats must be with themovement for reform, or aid in continuing thepresent corrupt Administration in power.—Mr. Hendricks paid a high compliment to

Mr. Greeley’s ability and honesty, and alsoi complimented Mr. Brown on his administra-

tion iu Missouri. Referring to the objectionson the part of some Democrats to Mr. Gree-ley because of his life-long opposition to their

i party, Mr. Heudkricks asked if the Demo-crats had not in turn abused Mr. Greeley,

1 and if the account is nut about square between, them. What Mr. Brown, Senator Schurz,

and their political associates bad accomplish-ed in Missouri, he desired to see in all the

’ States. Mr. Greeley, in approving the Cin-cinnati platform, bad agreed to a fair, safeand honorable adjustment of the tariff Oues-

• tion.i

-

t flfso”lu the course of a long and somewhat

r controversial political career Mr. Greeley has

1 made some personal enemies, especially among

r journalists of his own party. It is gall and

i wormwood to these people, at this time, to see

the object of their ancient hatred occupy tbeg exalted position which he now does before theg American people, with the almost certain re-

. suit that he will be advanced to the highest. position in tbe gift of his countrymen. These

B envious men are the most malignant detrac-

B tors of Mr. Greeley, and in the minds of those

] who are aware of the jealousy and spleen

t which consume them their condition is really. pitiable. There is nothing revengeful in Mr.

f Greeley’s nature; but if there were, he couldask no greater revenge upon those people,tortured as they are with baffled hate, than

to see them devoured by their own unhappy’ spirit of envy at the success of the man whom

they vainly malign.i •*

savage paragraph which appeared in that

3 their hearthstones, &c., and declares that its was written by a gentleman who is now a

¦ zealous as well as able supporter of President

) Grant and a leading editor of the EveningPost, in which paper Mr. Greeley is arraign-ed as the author of the words.

Mis* Nilsson’s Nuptials.

’ The marriage of Miss Nilsson at Westmin-• ster Abbey, on Saturday, to M. Auguste

' Rouzaud, a young banker of Paris, was an

’ event of more than ordinary brilliancy, and

| afforded occasion for a fitting recognition of

j the high social and artistic position of thebride. It is rare indeed that such evidencesof generous appreciation are bestowed upon

? an opera singer outside of the opera house;

3 hut, as the progress of the age develops wbat; is real and discards more of tbe unreal that is

3 mixed up with tbe morality of the people,

8 these things are destined to become less sub-; ject to sentimental restraints. It is not always

1 the meritorious who receive grand presents on

I their wedding day; but it is quite evident thathad not Miss Nilsson, who had little fortunesave merit to live upon when she commencedher career, been possesed of some shiningqualities, the sixty thousand dollars’ worth ofpresents she received would have still been intbe shop windows of London and Paris. Thediamond bracelet given by the Princess of

. Wales was alone a testimonial worth far morethan its intrinsic value and meaning more than

, the mere empty token of affected apprecia--1 tion.— Sun.3 ,

Household of the Marquis de Noallles.

1 The London Sport says that the departure3 of tbe q|w French ambassador to Washington

and of Mme. la Marquise de Noailles was

marked by a display of magnificence that re-

i minds one of the grand missions of the timeof Louis XIV. The Marquis de Noailles is

f attended by a numerous and brilliant suite.

s Not to mention tbe usual officials, it seems

that ten or twelve of the elite ofthe aristocracy,among whom are the most distinguished

’ names in France, have solicited the favor of) being allowed to accompany him as attaches

; volontaries. The household is composed of} thirty servants. As for the Marchioness, a

true Parisienne of exquisite taste, and whose1 musical talents are justly appreciated in Par-

-1 isian circles, she will evidently create a sensa-• tion. More than thirty trunks packed in

I Paris contain the wonders of the newest fash-ions, represented by sixty dresses of differentstyles from Worthe’s “atelier.” It is needless

' to mention the horses and carriages sent to theI same destination ; they are known to all Paris.

A Sermon lu a Paragraph.

President Porter, of Yale, gave the follow-

ing advice to the students of that institutionthe other day:

“Young men, you are the architects ofyourown fortunes. Rely upon your own strength

1 of body and soul. Take for your star, self-' reliance. Subscribe on your banner,‘Luck is

i a fool, Pluck is a hero.' Don’t take too much( advice—keep at your helm and steer your own

ship, and remember that the great art of com-manding is to take a fair share of the work.

1 Think well ofyourself. Strikeout. Assume

i your own position. Put potatoes in a cart,

i over a rough road, and the small ones go tothe bottom. Rise above tbe envious and jeal-ous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit.Energy, invincible determination, with a right

1 motive, are the levers that move the world.Don’t drink. Don’t chew. Don’t smoke.—

, Don’t swear. Don’t deceive. Don’t readnovels. Don’t marry until you can supporta wife. Be iu earnest. Be self-reliant. Begenerous. Be civil. Read the papers. Ad-

i vertise your business. Make money, and do, good with it. Love your God and fellow-men.

Love truth and virtue. Love your countryand obey its laws.” •

. If this advice is implicitly followed by the -_i, young men of tbe country, the millenium is ;

near at band.

The Right Talk.

'THE PORT TOBACCO TIMES AND CHARLES COUNTY ADVERTISER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1572.Mr. Greeley’s letter of Acceptance of the

Democratic Nomination.

New York, July 18, 1872..Gentlemen : Upon mature deliberation it

seems fit that I should give to your letter ofthe 10th instant some further and fuller re-

sponse than the hasty unprem’.dilated wordsin which I acknowledged and accepted yournomination at our meeting on the 12th in-stant.

That your Convention saw fit to accord itshighest honor to one who had been prominent-ly and pointedly opposed to your party in theearnest and sometimes angry controversies ofthe hast forty years is essentially noteworthy.That many ofyou Liberal Republicans shouldpresent another candidate for President, andwould more rapidly have united with us inthe support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis orBrown, is well‘known.. I owe my adoptionat Baltimore wholly to the fact that I had al-ready been nominated at Cincinnati, and thata concentration iif forces upon any new manhad been proved Impracticable.

Gratified as lAm at your concurrence inthe Cincinnati Domination, and certain as 1am that you not have thus concurredhad you not upright and capable.I found nothing D the circumstance calculat-ed to inflame vanity or nourish self-conceit.But that your Convention saw fit to reaffirmthe Cincinnati platform is to me a source ofthe profuUßtleat satisfaction. That body wasconstrained to take this step by no party ne-cessity, real or supposed. It might have ac-cepted the candidates of the Liberal Republi-cans upon grounds entirely its own, or it mighthave presented them as the first Whig conven-tion did Harrison and Tyler, without adop-ting any platform whatever.

That it chose to plant itself deliberately, bya vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest andclearest enunciation of principles which areat once incontestably Republican and empha-tically Democratic, gives trustworthy assur-ance that a new and more auspicious era isdawning upon bur long distracted country.—Some of the best years and best efforts of mylife were devoted to a struggle against chattelslavery, a struggle none the less earnest andarduous because respect for constitutional ob-jections constrained mo to act for the mostpart on the defensive in resistance to thediffusion, rather than in direct efforts for tlieextinction, of human bandage.

Throughout most of these years my visionwas uncheered, my exertions were rarely an-imated by even so much as a hope that I shouldlive to see my country peopled by freemenalone. The affirmance by your Conventionof the Cincinnati platform is a most conclu-sive proof that not merely is slavery abolish-ed, but that it*spirit is extinct; that despite jthe protests ofa respectable, but isolated, few, *there remains among us no party and no for-midable interest which regrets the overthrowor desires the reestablishment of human bond- ,age, whether in letter or in spirit. I amthereby justified in my hope and trust that (the first century of American Independencewill not close before the grand elemental truthson which its rightful ness was bassed by Jeffer-son and the Continental Congress of ’76 willno longer be regarded as glittering generali-ties, but will have become the universally ac- 'cepted and honored foundations of our poli- 'tical fabric. I demand the prompt applica- 1tion of those principles to our existing condi-tion. *•

js;

Having dons what I could for the completeemancipation of the blacks, I now insist on ithe full enfranchisement ofall my white coiin- itrymen. Let none say that tbe ban has just sbeen removed from ail but a few hundred ]elderly gentlemen to whom eligibility to office 1can be of little consequence. My view con- ltemplates not the hundreds proscribed, but 1the millions who are denied, the right to be |ruled and represented by men of their own ;unfettered choice. Proscription were absurd ifthese did not wish to elect the very menwhom they are forbidden to choose.

I have a profound regard for the people ofthat part of New England wherein I was ,born, in whose common schools I was taught.I rank no people above them in intelligence, icapacity, and moral worth ; but while they ;do many things well, and some admirably,there is one thing they cannot safely or wisely |undertake, and that is tlie selection for Statesremote from and unlike their own, of the jpersons by whom these States shall be repre-sented in Congress. If they could do this to •good purpose, then republican institutions areunfit and aristocracy the only true politicalsystem. Yef, what have we recently witness- 'ed ? Z. B. Vance, the unquestioned choiceof a large majority of the present Legis-lature of North Carolina, a majority back- :ed by a majority of the people who voted ‘at its election, refused the seat in the FederalSenate to which he was chosen, and the Leg- ,islature thus constrained to choose another iu ;his place or leave the State unrepresented for iyears.

The votes of New England thus deprivedNorth Carolina of the Senator of her choice, ;and compelled her to send another iu his stead '—another who in our late contest was,like Vance, a rebel, and a fighting rebel, but 'had not served iu Congress before the war as ,Vance had, though the latter remained faith- ¦ful to the Union till after the close of his term. (

I protest against the disfranchisement of aState, presumptively of a number of States,on ground so narrow and technical as this. —

The fact that the same Senate which refused jhis seat proceeded to remove his disabilities 'after that seat had been filled by another, onlyserves to pldee in a stronger light the indig-nity to NfifrfH' Carolina, and the arbitrary, jcapricious tpihvony which dictated it.

I thank you, gentlemen, that ray name isto be conspicuously associated with yours iua determined Effort to render amnesty com-plete and uniVersal in spirit as well as in letter. '•Even defeat in such a cate would leave no 1sting, while triumph would rank with thosevictories which no blood reddens, and whichevoke no tears but those ofgratitude and joy.

Gentlemen, your platform, whichmine, assures me that Democracy is not hence- ,forth to stand for one thing and Republican-ism for another; but these terms are to meanin politics, as they have always mean.t in the -dictionary, substantially one and the same 'thing, namely, equal rights, regardless ofcreed jor clime or colorJ I hail this as a genuine ’new departure from outworn feuds and mean- ‘iugless contentions in the direction of progress ,and reform. i

Whether I shall be found worthy to bear ithe standard of the great Liberal movement (which the American people have inaugurated 1is to be deterrainedoot by words,.but deeds— 1with me, if I steadily advance ; over me if I ‘falter. Its grand array moves on to achieve (forour country hergloriutrs beneficent destiny. •

I remain, gentlemen; yours, -

Destructive Fire—Heavy Dosses.

# On Monday evening, the buildings known as

St. Timothy’s Hall, in Catonsville, Baltimorecounty, was totally destroyed by fire. TheHall was es‘ablished by Rev. Mr. Van Bok-kelin about eighteen years ago, as a militaryschool and had been recently used as a board-inghouse, The loss will amount to forty orfifty thousand dollars, upon which there is apartial insurance.

Tichborne Claimant, after a tri-umphal tour through the provinces of Eng-land, has at last returned to London accom-panied as usual by his two warm supporters,Messrs. Ouslow and Whatley, lie there helda monster meeting, at which 3,000 peopleare reported to have assembled. The claim-ant made a speech of an hour’s length, inwhich lie attacked, as usual, the argumentsthat bad been brought against him in the latetrial, and declared that he wanted nothingmore than for his fellow-countrymen to aidhim in obtaining a fair trial. One AlexanderKennedy, an ex-sergeant of carabineers, cameforward and declared the speaker to be thesame Sir Roger Doughty Tichborne who hadcommanded him in Ireland. At the conclu-sion of tbe speeches the meeting unanimouslyvoted a resolution to the effect that theclaimant is no other than Sir Roger DoughtyTichborne, and avowing that the counsel whobad hitherto undertaken his defence had notdone their duty. Even the press is comingover to his side, the Morning Advertiser re-marking significantly that.if the claimant bereally no other than Arthur Orton, it is strangethat out of 3,000 persons living in the imme-diate vicinity of his birth no one should haveas yet been able to recognize iu him the sonof the butcher of Wapping.

A Perilous Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer weath-er is, its tropical heat is a severe trial to thevital powers. Even the strongest are some-times prostrated by its effects. The commonphrase applied to this condition of the body is“general debility.” Now, general debility a-

rises from,' and includes a variety of ailments.The liver is more or less affected, the bowelsare either constipated or too much relaxed, thestomach but half performs the work of diges-tion, the appetite is poor, and the spirits de-pressed. This is what is called general debili-ty. It is a general disarrangement of all thephysical functions, and requires as a remedy amedicine that will regulate them all. Hostet-ter’s Stomach Bitters is specially adapted tothis purpose. Its general operation is not con-fined to a single organ. Ifthe liver is affectedit restores its tone. Ifthe stomach is torpid itregenerates it. Ifthe nerves are tremulous andweak it braces and reinforces them. If themind, which ever sympathizes with the body,is gloomy and despondent it relieves the diffi-culty and soon brings the whole mechanism ofthe body into harmony with the laws of health.

There is no civilized nation in the WesternHemisphere in which the utility of Hostetter’sStomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and an-ti-bilious medicine, is not known and appreci-ated. Throughout the Tropics it is consider-ed, both by the people and the profession, thestandard specific. While it is a medicine forall seasons and all climates, it is especially suit-ed to the complaints generated by the weatherbeing the purest and best vegetable stimulantin the world.

Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and dan-gerous materials, which unscrupulous partiesare endeavoring to foist upon the people. Theirname is legion, and the public has no guaran-tee that they are not poisonous. Adhere tothe tried remedy, Hostetter’s Bitters, sold onlyin glass, and never in kegs or barrels.

Truth and Poetry.—Milton puts into themouth of Lucifer, iu “Paradise Lost,” thesememorable words —

“to be weak is miserable.”Never was a truer sentence written than this

—supnosed to be wrung from the Arch-fiendin his impotence and agony. Every victim ofnervous debility, or of that depressing languorwhich is one of the accompaniments of dyspep-sia and biliousness, can testify to the misery ofmind and body which they involve. The mo-tive power of the system is partially paralyzed;the mind is haunted by anxiety and fear ; andthe sufferer is as incapable ofapplying himselfenergetically to any kind of business as if itwere under the benumbing influence of cata-lepsy. This terrible mental and physical con-dition need not, however, be endured for for-ty-eight hours by any human being. Planta-tion Bitters is an absolute specific for all tor-ments which a deranged stomach, a disorderedliver, and shattered nerves, superinduce.
