To the Editor of the Unittd Statm and Canada: The statement reported in an Irish newspaper to have been mode at a meeting at Buffalo, N. on Sunday, that defaulters in the payment of rent are excluded from Mansion House relief, was considered at a public meeting of this committee.

The committee desire to say that this statement, If made, is totally without foundation, and that it Is impossible to conceive how it could have been uttered. Real distress Is the only condition lor obtaining assistance from this' committee, It acts exclusively through local organizations, which include clergymen and representative laymen of all denominations and opinions, rendering impossible tho alleged distinction between sufferers. This committee meets threo times weekly, and is composed it representative men of all shades of opinion, whose sole anxiety is to keep their fellow-countrymen from perishing ot hunger. The meetings of this committee are open to the pres9. Also, wl th reference to a statement alleged to have been made at Rochester, Ni It Is hardly necessary to say that no Individual newspaper was privy to the organization of this fund, and that It is utterly Incorrect to say any outsider paid for the programmes seht by this committee.

The first telegram the committee itself paid for. Subsequent telegrams (aud this one) were sent free to the New York Associated Press by the generosity of the Anglo-American Tele-graphCompany. Thiscommittee has dispensed already over 10,000 In the relief of urgent cases." EPSOM RACES. London, Jan. 28.

to-morrow. Proponed Removal, of th Xfarlna JI03-mittl. Dr. E. Lloyd Howard, physician at the Marine Hospital, Dr.

C. W. Chancellor, secretary of the State board ot health, Dr. Bteuart, health commissioner, aud Mayor Latrobe hold a conference at the mayor's office yesterday in regard to the proposed removal of the boar dug staUon of the Marine Hospital to a greater distance from the city. Dr.

Howard has advocated the removal of the hospital ever since he assumed charge of it, for tho reason that he thinks the hospital, being so close to the city as it is at present, subjects the people to danger from contagious diseases which may be on board of vessels lying at quarantine. Dr. Steuart, the mayor and Dr. Chancellor agreed with Dr. Howard as to the advisability of removing the hospital, and it was decldod that efforts should be made to Induce the council to take action in the matter as early as possible.

The place selected for the new hospital, should the council pass the proposed ordinance, is Hawkins's Point, six miles below the present site, and located on the Anne Arundel shore, nearly opposite Fort Carroll. The locality, it is thought, will be much healthier than that where the Marine Hospital now Is, and in addition to its greater distance from the city would prevent any danger to the people from contagious diseases. The new site comprises between fifteen and twenty acres, and was purchased by the city before the war to be used as a boarding station. The Marine Hospital grounds now cover 130 acres of very valuable land, a portion of which, It is estimated, can be sold for a sum sufficient to pay for all improvements to be made at Hawkins's Point. In case of tho removal being accomplished, it is also intended, in erectingt new buildings, to make an Improvement which has been needed for a long time, namely, the separation of the pest hospital and quarantine hospital.

The latter will, however, remain at their present location. The total cost of the proposed improvement is estimated at between $15,000 and $20,000, all of which, as elated above, can probably be paid from the proceeds of the sale of a portion of the Marine Hospital grounds. Dr. Howard read a letter at the conference from Dr. Billings, U.

S. vice-president ot the national board of health, stating that he would be glad to coneult with the city authorities in regard to quarantine regulations, if they should so desire. It was accordingly decided that Dr. Howard write to Dr. Billings and request him to visit Baltimore and advise with the authorities In regard to the subject.

Commercial Items. The British steamship Streonshalh cleared from Baltimore yesterday in ballast for Europe. This is happily an unusual occurrence for Baltimore, the port having for a long lime furnished outward cargoes to all vessels for foreign destinations. The present stagnation in the grain markets has, however, changed the current of trade not a little, and many steamers are doing better in bringing iron ore and iron into Baltimore than in carrying domestic products away. Another wheat crop will be harvested In the United States five months hence.

If the grain movement is blocked very much longer the probability Is that millions of bushels of the crop of 1879 will Btiil be on hand when the new wheat is ready for market. The brigs Chesapeake and John Boyd arrived here yesterday with a total of 2,282 bags and 107 hogsheads eugar from Demerara. The brig Mississippi arrived a week ago with 2,503 bags Demerara sugar. It is sold in Baltimore to Northern refiners. Junior Order of American Mechanic.

An Old Swindle. A gentleman from Trenton, N. was swindled out of $10 by two confidence men on Tuesday last. One of the sharpers' struck up an acquaintance with the Jersey-man by pretending that he was likewise on his route to Trenton, and obtained the money on security of a bogus $100 bill, to pay his com-. panion for assumed freight charges.

The swindlers then made off, and have not since been heard of. An Attempted Rescue. A disturbance occurred last night in a saloon on Orchard street, kept by Snow Butler, colored.

Wm. Brown and William Thomas, colored, were arrested for assaulting the officer. False Alarm. A young man raised soma excitement on Baltimore street, near South street, at two o'clock this morning, by calling loudly tor the police.

At the middle station the watch was found all right in his pocket. He was locked up on a charge of having imbibed too freely, Thomn IS.

I Affairs in Baltimore Vonnty. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. TOWSOSTOWS, MD Jan. 28, 1880. The Circuit Court, Judge Yellott, was occupied to-day with the case of Michael Hurley and wife, appeal from the assessment of damages allowed for the extension of Wilkens avenue, near the western suburbs of the city.

Hurley had been allowed $3,000 damages bv the board of examiners, but as the avenue runs right through his house he claims that the amount was not sufficient. The evidence was concluded to-day and argument begun, i The county commissioners will sit next month as an appeal tax court, to hear applications for abatements on assessments made upon property liable to taxation. The following month the commissioners will make preparations for the levy of 1880. On account of the largo amount of money that had to be expended In the construction and repair of bridges during the past year, It is thought the levy for the year 1879 will fall short; and If this be the case, the levy for the coming year must necessarily be Although the school tax was reduced one per cent, last year, it is believed that tho school board will have sufficient funds to carry the schools through, provided they are paid the schools proportion of the taxes in arrears at the time of making the last levy, as was promised by the commissioners at the time. It Is said, however, that it will be necessary to make the next levy higher for this purpose on account of the small amount of taxes upon the levy of 1879 that will be in arrears and forthcoming during next year.

Especially will this be the case if it is intended to build any new school-houses this year. In this connection it may be stated that the movement on foot in the Legislature to abolish the State Normal School causes much comment in this county. Baltimore county is, perhaps, interested more in the Normal School than any other county In the State, in consequence of having ever fifty pupils there, fourteen of whom are free scholars. One objection urged against the graduates of the Normal School a3 oierating against those who who have not been educated teachers holding Normal Schxd diplomas need not uudergo any future examinations, while others have to be examined every three years, except such as have received certificates from the State board of education, which may be done by persons who have taught seven years, if found'eom-petent. In competition for positions as teachers the graduates of the Normal School have no preference over other applicants of like qualifications.

There are about two thousand teachers in the State, and altogether since the establishment of the Normal School there have only been from 300 to 350 graduates, and a good many of these are not now teaching in the county schools. According to an estimate made by Mr. Wm. M. Isaac, clerk of the Circuit Court, the Sullivan water-works homicide, which occurred nearly a year ago, cost the county nearly or quite $2,000, and even then no person was convicted, although several persons were arrested and confined upon the charge of being concerned In the homicide.

Judge Grason, County Treasurer H. C. Hutch-Ins and Sheriff Slade went to Annapolis to-day. The county commissioners have reappointed George W. Appleby, of the first district, a constable for two years.

During a difficulty last Saturday between George Bloom and JohnDeitz, two laborers employed on the Frederick turnpike, at a point about three miles north of Catonsvllle, Bloom was struck with a sledge hammer, his lip being badly cut and several teeth knocked out. ton-stable Appleby arrested Deitz, and Justice Smith released him for court. Dr. J. Barron, of Baltimore, has in the course of completion a fine frame cottage on the York road, at Govanstown, adjoining the place of Co).

John Denning. Mr. John Cox, also of Baltimore, who purchased the place of the late Joseph Allison, at Govanstown, has rebuilt the dwelling and very much improved the sur-rouudings. Samuel G. Wilson sold to-day for Achsah Sophia Parlett, executrix of Wm.

"S-et-med, That, to express some -estimate ot lila many services la his long public career, w-ndered conspicuous by tearless, patriotic devotion, the business ot the Senate now suspended that the associates of the -departed Senator may pay ntties tribute ho his public and jirtvate virtues." The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. Mr. Ferry also submitted the following "lePlved, That the loss theoauntry sustained In the -death of Mr. Chandler was manifest by -expressions of public sorrow throughout the land. "Jtesolc.d, That as a marfcof Tespect for the memory of the dead Senator the members of the Senate will wear crape upon the left arm thirty days.

"HtMveiL That the secretary of the Senate taform-tiie Souse of Representatives of this -action. That as an additional mark of respect the Senate do now adjourn." Upon Uis resolution Mr. Ferry spoke, and Was followed by Mr. Anthony. Mr.

Bayard was the next speaker. He held pint. Hi radically opposed to those of the dead Senator, but did not intend to dwell upon those differences now. Mr. Chandler was a man of strons convictions, but open-haaded and hon-est.

Throughout a long public career, in which he held many important offices, no one had accused or even suspected him of making personal pain out of his opportunities, lie was a man of vigorous, frank organization, and Ma personal faults were the outgrowth of his nature. He kept bis word, despised a coward and loathed a hypocrite. Mr. Bayard bore willing testimony to these personal virtues, and ould recall many instances of his accommodating kindness and personal courtesy which rendered the transaction of business with him so easy and agreeable. Messrs.

Hamlin, Logan, Morrill, Blair, Cameron an Baldwin fidkiweif in eulogies oa the patriotism and ability of the deceased Senator. At the close of his remarks Mr. Baldwin moved the adoption of the pending resolutions. The resolutions were unanimously agreed to, ami at 2.50 P. M.

Mr. Shelley, from the committee on railroads and canals, reported a bill au-tborizing the Secretary ot War to contract with the Bam An-tonio-and Mexican Border railroad for the Immediate construction of a railroad from San Antonia to the Rio Grande, at or near the town ef Laredo. On motion of Mr.

Morse, Senate bill appropriating for the purpose of a new site for the United States Observatory was taken from the Speaker's table and passed, with an amendment providing that, if practicable, the ite shall be on an even degree of longitude West of Greenwich. Mr. Young introduced a bill granting a pension to the widow of Lieut. Hiram H. Benuer.

Mr. Young the Immediate passage or the bill. lmrlng the yellow lever epidemic that officer had shown a nobility of character which had never been paralleled. His deeds would live as long as history Bhould exist. The was passed.

The House then went In committee of the whole on the revision of the rules. Kule 8, relative to the duties of members having been reached, Mr. Tucker offered the loliowin? amendment: "Whenever a quorum fails to vote on any ques Hon, and objection is made for that cause, there shall be a call of the House, and the yeas and nays on the pending question shall at the same time be ordered. The clerk shall eail the roll, and every member, as he answers to his name Is brought before the House under -the proceedings of the call, shall voto on the pending question. If those voting on the question and those present and declining to vote shall together make a majority of the House the Speaker shall declare that a quorum is constituted, and the pending question shall be decided as the majority of those voting shall appear." He stated that he submitted the amendment, not with reference to any partisan question, but for the purpose of preventing the House from remaining Idle day after day, at the will of the minority." Mr.

Garfield opposed the amend meat as tending to put too much power In the hands of the Speaker. Mr. Hunton submitted an amendment to Mr. Tucker's amendment providing that those voting in the majority shall constitute a majority of those actually present in the House. Mr.

McLane said that he was not very keen for the adoption of Mr. Tucker's amendment, because frequently occasions occur when he for one would rather resort to revolutionary proceeedlngs than to the arbitrary will of the majority. He could not pretend, however, for a moment that it was a legal proceeding for a minority to defeat legislation. Pending further action the committee rose, and a message was received from the -Senate transmitting the resolutions adopted by that body relative to the late Senator Chandler. Speeches were then made In eulogy of the dead Senator.

Speeches eulogistic of the deceased were made by Messrs. Newberry, Hubbell, Williams, Crapo, Brewer, Robeson, Garfield and others. Mr. Garfield, in closing, said that, looking back on Senator Chandler's life, and summing up his character, he was struck with the appropriateness of these words of Tennyson in his ode on the Duke of Wellington "Oh iron heart, to true occasion Oh I fallen at length that tower of strength That stood four square to all the winds that blow." At the close of the addresses the House, at 6 J5, adjourned. MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.

From this dispatch It seems that a colored man of bad character named Richard Woods had deserted his wife and children and was living with a white woman named Nancy Williams, tho mother of two illegitimate children. Last Monday night a party of men went to Nancy Williams's house and after much trouble effected an entrance. After searching for some time Woods was found under the floor of the cabin, where he had concealod himself. Woods and the woman were then bound together and driven a considerable distance, the lynchers following with drawn pistols. When they arrived at a lonely point In the road the prisoners were halted and the negro Woods was ordered to strip.

He partially undressed himself, and requested one of the mob to unbutton his shirt as he could not reach the button behind him, owing to one of his hands being tied to the woman. This request was re-' garded by the man to whom It was addressed as an insult, for he instantly knocked the negro down, and he was set upon by several of the gang and severely beaten. The unfortunate negro, rendered desperate, at this critical junction made a break from his custodians and rah, but fell from exhaustion and terror before he bad gone very far. He was closely pursued by the mob, who, as soon as they came up, shot him several times and killed him. Returning to the woman, she was administered a severe whipping, after which she was ordered to go home admonished that if she did not leave the county in three days she would be hanged.

In the first place, we have taken measures to prosecute tbem the very day they announce the opera without permission, and we shall punish them to the full extent ot tho law. In tho second place, we have made arrangements to send out at once five distinct companies to play the 'Pirates' in all principal cities. We feel sure the law will protect us. Not only is our copyright bomb-proof, but as the play is not published, we are protected by the common law against all such plunderors, just as much as if they were to break into our houses. To publish a play in this country Is to print it and offer it for public sale.

Telegrams received here this morning state that intense excitement prevails In Shenandoah county in consequence of an apprehended collision between the white and black laborers at Columbia furnace, near Edinburgh, in that county. Gov. Holliday re celved a telegram from Sheriff Job. Stlckley, of snenanaoan county, asKing ior tne assistance of troops to aid In quieting the riot; also one from J. W.

Magruder, of the Woodstock military company, stating that he has notice of a serious riot at tne point mentioned, ana lng for orders what to do. The Governor immediately replied to Capt. M.agruder, directing him to place his command at the disposal of Sheriff Stlckley and the Commonwealth's at torney, H. c. Allen, for the preservation of the peace, and to keep him (the Governor) advised of events, other telegrams received by mem bers of the Legislature from the Shenandoah Valley confirm the above reports.

The trouble, as far as can be ascertained, has Its origin in the fact that John W. Whistler the proprietors of the Columbia and Liberty furnaces, are substituting colored for white laborers In their works. These works have heretofore been almost entirely run by white operatives, who live in and own their little homes in the neighborhood of the r-naces, and who have no other means of support than their daily labor, while the negroes who are replacing them are imported from other counties' where the negro element prevails to a greater extent than in Shenandoah, which county has but a very small colored population.

28, 1880. In the last few days there has been an extra amount of buzzing and humming 1 that swarming hive of Industry, the government printing office. The public printer notified the foremen of the different departments of the office that in making up their pay-rolls for the month of January they must deduct therefrom the pay of each employe for -the first day of January, (New Year's Day,) 1880. It is claimed by the employes that it has been the invariable custom ot the government printing office, as of all other departments of the government, to make no deductions on account ot legal holidays, and the action of the public printer caused the greatest surprise and consternation. A meeting of the employes was called for this afternoon to take the matter into consideration.

The meeting was very largely attended, and resolutions were passed for theappointraentof a committee of three from each department to wait upon the public printer and endeavor to Induce him to reconsider his action, and failing in that, a subcommittee to be appointed by the committee to wait upon the joint committee on printing of the two houses of Congress and request the Introduction of a Joint resolution directing the public printer to pay the employes for New Years's Day. It is asserted that one or more of the employes who have been conspicuous in the movement have received notice ot discharge. The House committee on claims have made a report in the case of the Metropolitan police force of the District, who claimed the 20 percent, allowance made to certain employes of the government by the act of February 28, 137. The coramiwce recite that the Metropolitan police could not have believed they were Included In the provisions of tho act, or they would not have allowed so large a claim to become barred by time; that during the years JK66-67 the police force received an increase of 50 per cent.
