TiiK impression is that no extra sea sion of the Legislature will be called unless Speaker Keillioltz does not 5m prove, which not likely. Uorernur Hamjlton says there are only a few bills which he considers of especial im portance, aud, if absolutely these will be ginned at Speaker Keil lioltz's IIOUKO. A great many of our exchanged are advocating an eitra sea bion because number of important local bills would utliL-rwise fail. An ex tra session would cost nboui 830,000, and is not for this rcnson desirable.

AMONCI the bills before the Gorer- nor is one which, it is understood, be baa announced his intention to approve, requiring prim to executions. It pro viden that the aherifT shall execute the santcnce of death when authorized to do BO by the Governor in as private manner as possible, nnd all persona except his deputies, the spiritual advisers ot the condemned, legal counsel for the defense, relatives of the condemned, not more remote than the second degree of consanguinity, and such others (not over twenty) as ho may appoint to witness the execution. The presence of A physician is required to certify that the work is properly performed. The bill passed late in the Mil. Joiix HE.SUY KKENK.

one of the nblest nud most autciisful members of the Baltimore bar was married Thursday last to Fannie Howell Cook, of New Yorfc city. Miss Cook is the daughter of Mr. ILenry II. Cook, a retired banker, well kuoNvn in New York financial circles, and one of the largest holders of real estate in that city. The marriage ceremony was conducted by Rev.

Mr. Morgan, of St. Ttiormis' Church, after which a reception was held at the residence of the father of the bride, No: 8 West Fifty- third street, New York. At ita close the bridal pair left for their home in Baltimore, at St. Paul and streets, a vary handsome and costly brown stone residence recently built by Mr.

Keene. There were over nine hundred invitations sent out, nmonf; them Senator J. A. Pnrsons, of Salisbury, and Mr. George T.

Mclyin of this town. BY ACT of the recent Legislature all collectors of taxes are required to settle up their accounts with the county commissioners on or befuro the first of May in each county. All taxes, both Stale and county, will hereafter be duo on August first of the year of their levy. Those paid on or before September 1st, discount of 4 per cent, will be allowed; 3 per cent, on those paid before October 1st; 2 par cent, on those paid before November 1st; 1 per cenl. on those paid before December 1st, nnd on all unpaid upon January 1st, interest will be charged.

Each collector is required to sit for fire days in each month at some central place, selected by the commissioners, in his district for the reception of Uses, due notice of such Bitting having been given, and, at tho end of each sitting to pay orcr to the commissioners all moneys received by him. After April 1st, all unpaid taxes are to be collected by regular process of law. Some Reasons Why. A writer in the Cecil County News is amazed at the unanimity with which the press of the lower counties of the district favor tho re-election of Judge Stump, and speaks of it as "a novel and unbecoming way to advertise a judge. The way we Interpret the advocacy of Judge Stump agninst Mr.

Cruiksbnnk by the whole press of Kent, Queen Anne, Talbot and Caroline counties is for these reasons: 1. Judge Stump has. made an excellent record judge, and the newspapers cannot sec that an improvement can be made. 2. The newspapers regard the methods by which he is to be displaced questionable ia electing a judge, who ought to be unsmirchcd aud untrammeled in the cxlrcise of his duties while on the bench.

3. Tho You-tickle-me-and-ril-tick- le-you" process of getting a nomination is unheard-of and out of all toleration in setting up judge. We think evidence easily adduciblc to prove that the solo cause of opposition to Judge Stump in Cecil was the fact that he refused to enter into a bargain with Mr. Constable; the latter to aid the Judge in the present contest, and in return to have the Judge's support for Congress. A Peep at Maryland Politics.

The Baltimore Herald observes that the rank and lile of the Maryland Democracy show iuureaeed desire for the unification of the party, but the basis of a compromise of the bosses has not yet been discovered. The feeling of pro- and anti-Gorman is as intense as ever, and each faction hopes that some incident may yet give it a crushing advantage. The anti-Gorman men have made combinations that thuy are sanguine will enable them to carry the primaries in Somerset, Caroline, Queen Kent, Cecil, Prince George's, Anno Arundel, Culvert, Charles and St. Mary's counties. They concede that Mr.

Gorman's faction may carry Wicomfco, Worcester, Talbot, Carroll, Allegany, Carroll, and possibly "Washington nud Howard. Tho nomination of some such man as JIanry Page would, it is supposed, carry nearly all the counties ou the Eastern Shore against Gorman, Keating and Comptou. Unless the Gorman faction gets the support of Governor Hamilton's friends it may not gel Wnshingtonjand several other counties. NEWS PA PER fl H1V In Baltimore the anti-Gorman men are confident that Governor Hamilton neither wishes nor will consent to trading with Gorman. They think that the primary elections will be very little different from those of former years, as the law for their legalization is very imperfect vet there is a strong public sentiment demanding fairness.

It is unde stood that Mr. fcfcLane, the Gorman candidate in the Fourth district, will decline to run if there is any oppo sition. There is an effort made to have General Lntrobe run for Congress in that dial rict, but he is predisposed against aspiring for any public position except the Mayoralty. He says that he is positively for that and nothing else. A correspondent writes: The grand banquet to be tendered Governor Hamilton, to come off soon in Baltimore, promises being a splendid aflkir in cv- respect.

A move will, in all probability, be made at that assemblage to unite all of Democracy hitherto ia unpleasant deputations, inlo cordial harmony and fraternization, so that there will no longer be found in the ranks anything but true-blue Democracy--free from distinctions of tho "Olds," "Jlingites," "Regulars," "Independents," etc. The great aim will be to move forward in solid phalanx peacefully, in cordial brotherhood. The Judicial Canvass. IVeitminiter Advocate. A little breeze has been started over in the second judicial circuit, composed of Cecil, Kent, Queen Aune'e, Caroline and Talfcot counties, concerning the re-election of the present bench, Judges Robinson, and Stump.

The matter was precipitated by the announcement ol the candidacy of Geo. Cruikshank, editor of the Cecil Democrat, for the place of Associate Judge Slump. Tim controversy on the subject has waxed warm in Cecil county, and the Democratic, Republican and Independent papers there huve been filled with artidea thereon for several weeks. Both Cruikshank and Stump have numerous friends, nnd a bitter contest sterna imminent. The press of the balance of the district, except two--both neutral--prefer the re- clcctiou of the entire bench, and one Republican paper suggests the calling of a niaeb convention, irrespective of parly, to nominate them "spontaneously." What will be the result it is difficult to see, but it looks as though Cecil may bo left without a judge, unless the Democrats there harmonize.

Or, perhaps, the other lour counties may demand Mr. Slump's re-nomiim- tion whether Cecil endorses him or not. Some time yet intervenes before conventions are called, the election is nearly seven months off and there is ample time to straighten matters. Deliberate Murder at Milford. A cold-blooded murder took place juil outside of Milford, Delawre, on Saturday evening, 22d the mea- gre details of which are about as follows James B.

Deputy, a young raau about 22 years of age, who lives a short distance outside of Milford, accompanied by two friends visited the towu partly on business and partly on pleasure. About 8.45 o'clock all three started home in an open wagon, the murdered man being seated in the cen- tre. When juatl outside of the town the party noticed a man and woman sitting alongside of a fence. The man was recognized as C. F.

Hallett, and young Deputy thinking tho lady was iis cousin, in a pleasant manner said, "Good evening." His polite salutation was met with tho reply, "Go to j--II." Young Deputy replied to the epithet Hint he did not en re to go when the proprietor was not at home. Hardly had the words been uttered by Deputy when Hallelt drew a revolver and taking aim discharged one of the chambers, tha bullet taking effect in Deputy's right side. The wounded man was at once taken to the residence of his uncle fu Milford, and uedical aid summoned. All efforts to save his life wera unavailing, as he died in a few hours afterward. Before dying the wounded man made a postmortem statement, detailing the shooing about as given above.

After the shooting Hallelt was arrested nnd taken before Stevens, who held him in $1000 to await he result of Deputy's injuries. He furnished the bail himself by deposit- ng into the hands of the justice the mount required and was released. After the death of Deputy, Hallett was re-arrested and taken to the jail at eorgetown and locked up. The cold- blooded murderer seems to be a des- lerate character, baring shot a little colored hoy some years ago for refusing help load a cart with dirt. He was tried for the offense and seutenced to one year imprisonment, but after scrv- ng about one half of the term was pardoned by Governor Fonder.

For the past two years he has been out in Minnesota trading with the Indians. He ntended to return there, but the in- dicalions uow are that he is done trading with the Indians, for a time. Hallett has been living in the West about six years. His character was besmirched, aud the pistol his constant companion. On "show day" ic was in Georgetown and gave an er- libitiou of his skill with the pistol.

A fool with a cigar in his mouth stood 20 acea away nud Ilallelt shot the ashes from the end. Several other such feats were performed by him and great- edified the gaping crowd. Coroner Heltiuld left for Milford Monday rnorn- ng to hold inquest over Deputy, but did not get through and had to re- nain over night. Sheriff Martin, who was present, says tha evidence adduced was anything but conclusive as to the ilt of Ilallctt; that, in fvict it rnther exculpated him. The bullet fired refused to fit the pistol found on Hallett, and it muy prove strong point in the prisoner's favor.

Peoplu, liotvcver, still Hlcmlly believe in Hallelt's guilt aud have but little feeling for him. Sympathy for his brother, John ITallett, who has several times becu a candidate for the Democratic sberifTalty nouiino- liou in Sussex, is slrong. Ilallelt will plead an alibi. --Ford the elocutionist nt Court House Tuesday nnd Wednesday eve's. GENERAL NEWS.

Sharp's Island, formerly known as C'Loptnnk Island, was purchased by Mr. Selh Foster fur a email consideration ou August 11, 1850, mid at that time It conluined 1,200 acres. It was surveyed a few years since aud found to be legs tliun 300 acres in area, nnd it is still washing away very fast. The revenues for the next fiscal year arc estimated nt four hundred million dolars.

The regular itcini of expenditure exceed three hundred and fifty millions of dollars, which would leave surplus in the treasury of over flfty millions of this year's re venue. If the schemes now contemplated by should succeed that surplus amount will be soon absorbed, ami with It all sum's now in tbe treasury vaults, as can be seen by the following account roughly fifteen to twenty millions for tbe river and harbor hill 4 public buildings, some twenty millions, mure or less; navy reconslruction, for the present only, twelve and a half millions; subsidies, twenty-five millions the Mississippi bill, fifteen millions; extra pensions aud bounties, seventy-five millions; census priming, three millions; ninety-five millions fur some education scheme, and an indefinite number of claims. All those amounts are not payable within the year; if they were to he paid within that period they would exceed three-fold the surplus revenue. Than it would be necessary to draw on the reserve fund, and thai would soon become 1 so beautifully less aa to need replenishment by Increased nnd extra duties on the luxuries ami necessaries of life.
