Cke and 0 A 8 MD. Wednesday, March 6, 1878. TEXAS. Anj young man of good character and sober habita, of'entering into a partnership in the raising of Sheep or and with it of not less than can get all tbe information desired by corresponding with WALTER NKOLKT, whose address is, Brachettsville, Klnney County, Texas. A bill to amend the charter of Smithsburg in this county has passed the House.

The pablk debt statement shows a decrease daring February oi $3,250,237 18. Thero are two remarkable families residing in a county not more than eight miles from Norfolk. The husband of one it now living with his fifth wife, and his neighbor, not more than a mile distant, is the husband of his sixth wile. The ninety-fourth annual meeting of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church is now in progress in Cumberland, Maryland. The attendance is said to be large.

The local option bill was ordered to a third reading in the House of Delegates. It embraces all the counties, and will no doubt pass that body. It will hare a harder fight ia the Senate. In the Senate of the United States Mr. Ferry, (Republican,) was elected President Pro Tim.

in the absence of the Vice President, orer Mi. Thurman, (Democrat) by a majority of me voting. The Criminal vote, 28 to 29. Close Court at New Orleans sentenced General Anderson, of the Returning Board to two years hard labor in the Penitentiary. Altering returns to produce a Republican victory seems to be a very much greater crime than shooting negroes to secure a Democratic victory.

Tbe Cumberland AReganian and Times, a Democratic paper, says that the friends of Col. William H. Lowdermilk are taking steps towards urging his nomination as the next Republican candidate for Congress in our District. A letter from Smithfield to the Suffolk Herald says: ''One of our citizens has just received a long and intelligent letter from a physician in Illinois making inquiry about our lands, their products, the price, and expresses a wish to settle in this portion of Virginia." The Berlin National Zeituny cordially welcomes Mr. Bayard Taylor's appointment as United States Minister to Germany as one conferring honor on Germany and America alike, and calculated to strengthen the already strong ties between the two countries.

President Hayes, says the National Zeituny, "deserves Germany's sincere thanks." A Hotel for working-women, founded and built by the late A. T. Stewart, the great millionaire of New York, will be opened on the 15th of March. It has over five hundred sleeping rooms, and is intended to afford cheap lodging and board for these women. The bill to "scale" the Virginia debt, that is to pay part only, has been vetoed by Governor Holliday, but is'nt half a loaf of bread better than none.

The mother of statesmen has become melancholy upon the subject of paying her debt, and she may conceit before long that she can't pay anything, if her creditors don't compromise. In the case of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the Court of Appeals lias decided that only its Elevators, Wharves, the Metropolitan Branch and its securities, are liable to taxation, the original charter of the road having exempt from taxation, machinery, improvements, shares of stock, c. If that was the contract, no doubt the decision was a correct one. It is reported that the village or Isleton, in the delta of the Sacramento river, California, was swept away Tuesday night by the pressure of water on the levees, caused by the cutting of the dykes on Grand Island, opposite. The damage by the flood in the Sacramento valley, from Colusa to the month of the river, so far aggiegatcs fl.OOO.OOO.

The Legislature has appropriated $35,000 for the relief of sufferers. Foreign Summary Major General Sir Garnet Wolscley, in, an article contributed to the Nineteenth Century! states that -If war was declared about, four hundred thousand drilled men would fell into lino, if required, supported by three hundred and seventy-two field guns, manned and horsed by the Royol Artillery. This is without counting the garrisons of the Mediterranean Station that could be relieved by themilitn. Lord Napier of Magdala, Governor and Com- mandcr-in-Chief of Gibralter, has arrived at London and will take charge oi any expedition sent out, with Major General Sir Garnet Wolseley AB Chief of Staff. The Agenee Itusse, of St Petersburg, corrects some of the inaccuracies in the conditions of peace published in London.

It declares that Russia has never demanded the expulsion of Mussulmans from Bulgaria; she has only demanded the recall oi the Turkish officials and troops. Russia does not hand over a portion of Bosnia to Servia, and the question regarding the Straits is reserved for the consideration of the Congress. The English papers have again assumed a warlike tone, and speak of the possible starting of the First Army Corps and its destination. The 'appointment of Lord Napier is officially announced, with the remark that "it is possible, of course, that even now we may not have to go to war; Russia may pause in time before she provokes it." The brigade of Guards has been raised to its war strength, and there is great activity in completing the arrangements for active service. LATER.

Austria, according to one report, is snid to have become mollified by the concessions of Russia in limiting the occupation of Bulgaria to six months, and the renunciation of the extension to Sulomca and the expectation that the Congress will settle the rest seems to have restored confidence. The Pcra correspondent of the London Telegraph says the pretended struggle over the peace conditions is a mere cloak for a Russo-Turkish alliance, and will finally end in a Russian protectorate of Turkey in Europe and Asia according to the terms of the secret arrangement. The Russian and Turkish lines at San Stefano are separated by the little river Kara Su, and sentries stand at either end of a bridge not more than a hundred feet long. The officers and men in the most cordial manner, and visitors and small traders from Constantinople are soon in the Russian cump. Russia has been notified that the occupation of Constantinople will be the signal for the English Ambassador to leave St.

Petersburg, and that the construction of a Russian fort on the Bosphorus will be considered a cause of war. Despatches from 7 ienna and Berlin consider the projected Conference as having been postponed sine die. Russia is ncgo- Most of the great European powers are governed by persons advanced in Uating with Servia for the occupation of Belgrade in case of a conflict with Austria. THE LATEST. There is ranch mistrust regarding Russia's designs.

In the present position of the Russian troops they can occupy the Chanak forts at a moment's notice. The position of the British ships at Tux.la is regarded as critical, owing to the clanger of an attack with torpedo boats from the various portions now occupied by the Russian troops, and precautions have been taken to avert a night attack. The Czar has called out four battalions of the with artillery. A despatch from Constantinople reports substantial concessions as having been made in the terms of peace. The boundaries of Bulgaria have been settled, and the demand for the Turkish licet withdrawn.

A report from Vienna states that the entry of a portion of the Russion army into Constantinople may shortly be expected, irrespective of the signature of the treaty of peace. The Grand Duke Nicholas announced to the Russian troops at review yesterday that the treaty of peace had been signed. The enthusiasm at St. Petersburg over the signing of the treaty of peace is unbounded. An immense crowd gathered before the palace shouting and singing "God save the The Grand Duke Nicholas is expected to visit Constantinople.

The Silver Bill. The President of the United States last week vetoed the Silver bill upon the ground that it authorises a violation of the plighted faith of the nation. In the conclusion of his message to Congress returning the bill he very forcibly anil truly says "it is my firm conviction that if the country is to be benefited by a silver coinage it can be done only by the issue of silver dollars oi full value, which will defraud no man. A currency worth less than it purports to be worth will in the end defraud not only Time Works Change. This remark is true in its application to many things in our world, but to none more so than to politics.

Hero we see tbc greatest and most surprising changes. A few years ago the Democratic leaders of Maryland denounced negro suffrage, as they termed it, in the most vehement manner, and worked themselves into avertible passion about it. This opposition was as foolish as it was unjust and unkind to a people who had been invested with this and other rights by the amendments to the Notional Constitution, but it served a temporary purpose by enabling the Democrats to add to their strength. After this was accomplished, they became reconciled to the monster of negro suffrage, and were even willing to take him into their loving embraces for tbe consideration of his votes. This was a great change, which time, and a iliort time at that, had worked in the feelings, opinions and principles of the negro-bating Democracy, but last week a still greater one was exhibited in the Legislature ol Maryland.

It has recently been discovered and decided by the Court of Appeals that a colored man could not be admitted to the practice of law in this State, consc quently a bill passed the House of Delegates, conferring this right, by a vote ol 52 yeas to 8 nays. As the debate which took place upon the bill before its passage, may be of some interest to our readers, we take an abstract of it from the Baltimore Sun Tue bill -which proposes to admit colored men to practice in the courts of Maryland wns considered. Mr. Vandiver moyed to strike oul the enacting clause. Mr.

Blair, Mr. Key, Mr. Merrick, Mr. Lawrence and otbcrs spoke favorably of the bill, Mid Mr. Scott against its provisions.

Mr. Blair earnestly conservative ia bis argument. lie thought there should bo no die- crimination in the Maryland statutes as to the colored race, and we should not subject ourselves to needless criticism after it has been demonstrated that tbe colored man cannot win in the courts, on the battle field, in the Senate, or in politics, when in competition with tht white race of the world. Mr. Key asked if the Anglo-Saxon is afraid of such competition Ilis constituents arc democratic colored people as well as white people.

Mr. Cox said he had promised the colored people of his county to vote for this bill. Mr. was in favor of black "shysters" as well as white "shysters." Mr. Higgins said the bill would make an improvement on some of our lawyers.

Mr. Merrick spoke earnestly favoring the bill. Mr. Hall said the southern counties of Maryland would soon be carried by the democrats if the color line be wiped out, and, in response to a question, he said he represented iu the Legislature republicans, democrats and colored men. The debate had a somewhat humorous turn, and tic subject wastreatcdwitli general levity.

Mr. Blair, in closing the debate, expressed his regret at this, saying that many members here were elected by colored and that while such votes arc not essential here, it is a good thing to fall iu line with the South, where 5,000 colored men fell into line with Wide Hampton in South Carolina. He believed the republicans wished the democrats to vote solidly against the bill. He did not ever expect to again represent Montgomeiy county here, and ho was not seeking votes lor himself, but he hoped his friends would seel; them for the good of the cause. Mr.

Mitchell spoUc against Iccislixting the biack man iuto place in society. This bill was, practically, to legislate ft Boston negro into the Court of Appeals and auy legislation to put tbc negro up will surely tend to pull the white man down. Mr. Matthews thought the negro had as much right to be a lawyer and come in contact with the white lawyer ns iu the trades, where they come into contact with the white mechanic. Mr.

Lcib, republican, could not sec how the democrats could refuse to vote for this bill, especially when called ou so eloquently to do so by the gentleman from Montgomery, in order to make votes. This bill was wanted in his county, and he was glad it had been introduced. It would give the democrats an opportunity to put themselves on record. Mr. Touchstone, of Cecil, denounced the bill as not a democratic measure, as infamous dishonest.

He was sick and tired of seeing the democratic party tagging at the heels of the negro and sacrificing everything for expediency, be it honest or uot. Mr. Key--Did Gov. Hampton, of South Carolina, sacrifice the party? Mr. Governor of South Carolina sacrificed everything by selling out LOCAL AFFAIRS, Biays, sou of Mr.

fl. Biays, of the Central Hotel, left this city for Los An- California, on the 33d where he will in future Immense invite attention to the advertisement of John Wan- namakcr, the great merchant of Philadelphia, who is in the market with a large stock of Spring Goods at his immense establishment, or Grand Depot, 13th and Market streets of that city. fsargr Lee Sanders, of Waynesboro', purchased a bull near UptoD, the other day, which weighed on Shillito'i scales, in the evening 2,170 and in the morning animal was shipped to Philadelphia on the 220. nH. The week previous Mr.

Sanders shipped a similar animal that weighed 2,001 Echo. Jt Fatal Friday morning last, a young man named George D. Miller, residing atKcedysville, was killed at that place, while engaged in shifting freight cars on the Washington County Railroad. In attempting to get on a loaded car he slipped and fell on the track, and was dragged some distance before the cars passed over him. He lived about half an hoar after the accident, and was but 17 years old.

AJVete Store at an Old D. W. Rcichard has opened a Hardware Store at the Old Swartzwclder stand, on the West Corner of the Public Square of our town, which he is filling with a choice stock of goods, embracing every kind of article pertaining to his line of business. Mr. R.

has the assistance of Mr. Oscar Bellman, an experienced hard-ware merchant, and being himself nn active, energetic and intelligent young man, we have no doubt he will merit and receive a fair share of public patronage. Heal Kutale and Sloeb Sale Tuesday of last, week, R. Sbccklcs, sold the farm of Nicholas Beard, near Chewsville, containing 43 acres, at JfitJ.OO per acre- purchaser, Henry PoUenbcrgcr. Also, one $1,000 and one 5500 Washington County Bond of 1890, at 3106.50.

Charles M. Fulterer, sold for Alexander Ncill and Alexander Armstrong, Trustees of John Cook, a house and lot of ground on Walnut street, to T. E. Mittag, for 3378.50. At the same time the auctioneer sold two Washington County 1800, to Henry Dusang, for $107.

Emigration thirty-five persons went West from Hagerstown over tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad last week, but they were not all from this county, some having been from Pennsylvania aud others from Virginia. We rather think the emigration from this county the present spring will not equal that of the several past years. People who have heretofore gone west i definite location in view and expecting to take ehnnces for employment, have been disappointed as a general rule, but a i a little capital, is prepared to "rough it" for a few years on the prairies of the far West, iu our opinion can lay tbc foundation for a future competency, if not a fortune, if he is blessed with health, and but tin ordinary run of luuk. President Tilden. off, the real ruler of Russia, is "86.

old; Bismarck, of Germany, is MacHabon, tbe President of France, nearly 70, and Dufaurc, the piwent head of the French ministry, Beaconifield, prime minister of England, is in his 73d year, and his rival, Mr. Gladstone, only four yean hit junior. Tbe mortgage tax bill was on Friday by the Senate recommitted to the Finance Committee by a vote of thirteen, to it is said the bill and practically disposes oi the matter for this Tbe Tote on recommittal stood. Yeas-- Messrs. President, Bannon, Comto of Alle- Cooper, freeman, Gorman, Hcpbron, bee, McLane, Miller, Peter, Stump and Nays--Messrs.

Combs of St. Mary's, Dennis, Ford, Franklin, Oarty, INI, Netetomer, Steintr, Sulivane and AVil- creditors, but all whojirc engaged in legitimate business, and none more surely than those who are dependent on their daily labor for their daily bread." But the President's objections amounted to nothing with Congress, each branch of put the bill through by a two-thirds majority, the House by a vote of 196 yeas against 73 nays, and the Senate by a vote of 48 yeas to 21 nays. The bill has, therefore, become a law in spite of the President's veto, and now it remains to be seen its effects upon the business of the country will be. AVith regard to Ihcse eflccts we think both sides will be somewhat disappointed, believing that the bill neither help tlie inflationist nor injure the contractionist hnlf us much as cither expects, and that if it should not be followed by other and worse measures the credit of the country will not be very seriously damaged by it. Mr.

Carroll, tlieAUegany county miner, made one of his quaint, sensible speeebes, in which he pointed out that the negro could go into any other business or profession, and he encouraged the lawyers not to be afraid of negro competition at the bar. lie said that Uc llad heard much on this floor of the Anglo-Saxon race that he had begun to think we were all Anglo- Saxons, and that those of us of Celtic origin or who had Celtic names were not as numerous on the brightest pages of this country's history as those of Anglo-Saxon names. The negro now ligured in everything, and why uotthe Jaw When you pass Ibo local option law he will open aa apothecary shop and sell drinks of not put him before the regular bar? When lie saw so many Roman noses around him lie did not think there should be any dread of the negroes that the white man would not rise by his own superior genius. If he did not he should sink. Mr.

constitutional convention of 1807 gave the negro the right to testify in the courts, and he had heard no one complain of that oct. If the negroes have the right to testify in the courts they should not be debarred from practicing iu there. The motion to strike out the enacting clause was lost by yeas nnys 50. The bill was then passed by a vote of 52 yeas to nays. This debate developed some opposition to the bill, so far as mure speaking was concerned, but the vote in its favor was an overwhelming one, and wns comprised of three-fourths Deraocrafs.

A few years ago sucli a vote from the Democratic party, would have killed it politically in Maryland, but time works change, and the Republicans have the gratification of seeing one after another of the splendid scries of measures, which they supported to secure equal rights to an enslaved and down race in a free country, approved by their political opponents. This shows that they are right, though in a minority on account of causes over they had no control, the principal one of which is the fact that the good counters of elections returns in Baltimore City are nil against them, but County debt of Washington county is very heavy, and will require good financiering to prevent it from becoming even more burtliensomc than it is. Ibis fact the present Board of County Commissioners, not only clearly forsee, but they have botli the will and the ability to avail themselves of all the ineuns within reach which holdout any hopeof lessening County expenses. As tbe heaviest item of these expenses is County interest, tbe Legislature has been asked to pass a bill, authorizing tle issue of DOW bonds by the County, bearing a less rate of interest than six per five or four and a-balf per free from local taxation, which are to be substituted for the present six per cent bonds, provided they cau be sold at par. In other words, the sis per cent bonds will be culled in ami paid, which, we understand the County bus reserved to itself the right of doing at its pleasure.

Good live per ceut. bonds, if they should have a reasonable number of years to run without tbe optiou of redemption, aud be exempted from County and Municipal taxation, will afford a pretty fair average investment for much of the idle capital of the county, whose owners prefer good security for principal to high rates of interest without it. Jf i a raugemeut can be made, it will save the county annually about three thousand dollars, and we can sec no good reason why it should not a rate, it is worth a trial, and we hope, therefore, that the Legislature will grant the necessary power in the premises without delay. of Circuit copy from the Mail of last Friday, the following report of Court proceedings February 21,1878.

J. H. A. Johnson, formerly a citizen ot this town, bat now Pmrtor of Mt. Moriah African M.

Church of Annapolis, and presiding Elder of the Annapolis Circuit. While with a committee of gentlemen in JjgJlm Parlor of bis own residence, bricks thrown in the -window, one of which struck Mr. Johnson above the left eye, causing an ugly but not dangerous wound. hope the miscreant or miscreants, who perpetrated this outrage, may be discovered punished. Mr.

Johnson is a man of high standing and fine education. A memorial from Alfred Spates, of AUegany county, has been presented to the Legislature, asking an investigation into tbe management of the Canal, and charging that some of its officers, agents and used money, and made threats to induce persons to oppose tho nomination of Mr. Spates for the Senate, and that after he was nominated by the Democratic party these officers employees renewed their efforts to defeat him, and all because Mr. Gorman, the President of the Canal, desired bira to be beaten. r.

Gorman denies all this, but does'nt think he would have committed a great sin against patriot- if he had helped to defeat Mr. Spates. J5jc-8enator Wade died'on Saturday at 'lm nddeoce. in Jefferson, -Ohio, in the The London Times' Calcutta despatch says: "The results of the famine are still distressingly felt in Madras and prices take a downward turn the beginning of Mnrcli the relief works will be compelled to continue until August or September. Reports from Oudc and the northwest provinces are equally unfavorable.

The poorer classes are suffering tbe most pinching distress." The Baltimore Sun's Annapolis Correspondent says that Chief Justice Bartol delivered the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the case of the County Commissioners of Frederick County vs. Jhc Farmers and Mechanics National Bank. The assessors, after assessing the stock of the Bank at $33 per share, also assessed the Banking House and furniture at $5,100. The latter item was ordered by the Circuit Court of Frederick county to be stricken off. The Commissioners took an appeal, and the Court of Appeals has affirmed the order of the Court below.

This is right. When a bank's stock is assessed at its selling value, all that the Bank owns is included in that assessment. who not sooner be than President, as Clny once said Homestead Laws. The bill, exempting $300 as a homestead i'rom execution for debt, is stiH under discussion in the Legislature. It is advocated upon the ground that it will be a great advantage to the poor man.

If the Legislature were to pass a law appropriating $500 out of the Treasury to buy every poor mnn a homestead, that would be a substantial advantage to him, but to allow him to do so at the expense of his creditors, sonic of whom may be poorer than he is, cannot benefit him without wronging them. It is not likely that they will place themselves in a position to be thus wronged, and if they do not then he will bu deprived of the credit that may be necessary to secure a home. To a poor man who wishes to better his condition and rise in world credit is very important. Even if he should be unfortunate in his business enterprises, and have to give np everything he possesses to satisfy his creditors, his reputation as an honest man is worth more to him as a capital with which to re-commence life's a petty homestead, with the drawback of a tarnished character, can possibly be. We look upon all legislation, which virtually says a mnn may have a certain amount of property without paying his debts, as the out cropping of clema- goguism.

This is rather mean abuse.

Tlie President did his duty as he understood it, and Congress did the same. If the latter did not treat the veto message with proper courtesy, that it is its shame and not his fault. Nothing short of an earthquake could have arrested the silver craze. Municipal understand that the election for Mayor and Council under the new charter will take place three weeks from Monday last, viz: on Monday the 25th. We think the people of the town have not lime to become acquainted with its provisions before they will be called upon to select town officers.

The time is entirely too short for a proper consideration of a matter of so much importance, but we suppose it can't be helped. understand that the present Mayor and Council expect to show a handsome reduction iu the town debt. This nnd other facts in connection with the 11- uanccs of the town should be made known officially to the voters before they arc called Upon to go Into new election, in order that they can the more correctly determine whether or not it is advisable or expedient to make a change, or ns Mr. Lincoln once forcibly expressed the idea, "swap horses in the middle of a stream."
