traid and otch. A Wednesday, March 27,1878. In ttw State Senate, Mr. Gorman reported tarorably the bill to extend tbc charter of tbe Hagerrtown Bank. Kuc N.

on Wednesday, aged seventy-fire, leaving fortune estimated at from four to BIX million dollars. He was generally known tbe inrentor of tbe Adams printing JVCM, which noir In general use. A horrible murder, including a mother, an infant child, and a young girl of 14 yean of perpetrated by the brotb- of tbe mother, a man named Walkce, at Littleton, not very far from Wheeling in West Virginia. The murderer CodfoMed bis guilt, stating that he had killed them all with a hammer. On sun- day morning, the tynchers took possession of him and bong him to an apple-tree.

The American of Baltimore announces that ito Senior Editor and Proprietor, Mr. C. C. Fulton, and his daughter, will sail for Europe on the 10th of April, on the Canard Steamer Bothnia, to attend the Paris Exposition and to visit other parts of Europe. The Mail says that our townsman, D.

H. Wiles, and his wife, have taken passage on the same steamer and for same destination. At a recent stockholders meeting of the PennsylTania Railroad Company held in Philadelphia, Mr. Scott, its President stated that bis own salary has been but was now reduced to two Vice Presidents have each a salary of $10,000. The President has two or three as sistants who each get $4800.

These salaries look large in comparison with the pay of train hands and other employees. The Legislature of Maryland will adjourn on Monday next, its time being limited to ninety days. It is said that its business is pretty well up, and that few measures are likely to be lost for want oi time. It is said that GOT. Carroll has vetoed the bil permitting certain fines and forfeitures in Washington county to go to the restoration of the law library destroyed by fire in Hagerstown.

He also vetoed a substan tially similar bill for the relief of the Bai association of Allegany County. The yea son assigned is that fines and forfeiture ought not to be diverted from the rcgnlai purposes prescribed by law. These an the only bills that the Governor has thu far vetoed. The papers have been publishing a lis of bills, embracing Southern claims fo IOSMS incurred during the war, amounting to one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. Tilden was opposed to paying these claims, but then he don't hnvc much influence with this Congress, as Lincoln once jocularly said of his own Administration.

No doubt some of them will be passed by this Congress, and hereafter a flood-tide of them may go through under Democratic auspices. It is natural to take care of one's own friends, especially such of them as were unfortunate in the late ness." The Final Acquittal of Anderson. The Supreme Court of Louisiana has set side the verdict, convicting Anderson of lie forgery of the Yemen parish election cturns, and has discharged the prisoner, 'he several exceptions to the verdict were dismissed, and the Court took up the of the tiftcnsc itself, examined the lection law of the State, and holding that was "the essence of this crime that it hould be committed by. a public officer and on a document which would change he result of election," said this was not done. The alterations of returns then did not defeat Tilden and Hcndricks, at least vrns'nt so proven in this trial, according our understanding of this decision of highest judicial tribunal in Louisiana, and in our opinion no other alterations were or would have been necessary to accomplish such a result if the election in State had even approximated to the evcl or standard of a fair one.

If it had not been for abuse and intimidation of the colored voters, by which they were hounded away from the Polls by the hundreds, the State would have given Hayes nnd Wheeler thousands of a majority. This wrong may have been met and off-set by a counter wrong by the Returning Board, be cause it is sometimes absolutely necessary to fight tbe devil with fire, but even this does not seem to have been proven against to changing the result of the election, and hence lie was discharged. This prosecution of Anderson 1ms afforded the Democratic Press a fine theme for the denunciation of Hayes' election, as well as for bewailmcnt of Tilden's so-called fraudulent defeat, and it was freely availed of. It was supposed that much party capital could be made out of the outrage, but as it turns to have been an imaginary one, the investment in its stock will hardly pay a high rate of interest. The Democratic papers contend that Anderson was discharged upon a technicality, but if his al terations did not change the result, we think he was convicted in the lower Court upon a technicality, and discharged upon a substantial fact in the higher one.

It looks so to our mind, but as it ends the prosecutions, and probably forever closes out the Louisiana political troubles, whicl have engaged so large a share of th attention of the whole country, we think reasonable men of all parties should be gratified at the happy result, no matter how or in what way it may have been accomplished. Since the above was prepared we see it stated that Attorney-General Ogden has filed an application for a re-hearing in the Anderson case, upon the ground that errors have crept into the decision. It is not likely, however, that the Court will be able to see these errors. Foreign Summary. The Servian Shumadia corps have made hostile demonstration against the peace conditions, and reoccupying Vranjo declare they will not leave it unless forced to do so.

The torpedoes in the Danube arc buoyed, but have not all been vessels have passed up and down After several years' delay, General O. O. Howard wan brought to trial, in Washington City on Monday, on a charge of having defrauded the Government out of $130,464.90 while acting as commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. But little testimony needed to show that the General had nothing to do with the money, nnd the court directed a Yerdict of acqnital. The Democratic Press made a great ado over thi transaction, several years ago, but doubtless very few of these papers will do the General the justice to retract.

We are glad the old hero was honorably acquitted. He was one of the most efficient of the Federal Generals in the War of the Rebellion, and was the first to march his corps into Hagerstown, while Lee's whole army was lying on the hills around it after the battle of Gettysburg. A Happy Settlement. The bill compromising and settling the State's claims against the Company and the latter's against the former, was finally passed in both Houses of the Legislature, and now only waits the signature of the Governor to become a law. The Company pays the State in all $466,011.30, which is thus itemized Of this amount $366,000 is to be paid in six per cent, coupon bonds running' ten years and bearing date July 1,1878, interest falling due semi- annnally.

The remainder ($370.56) is to be paid in cash. The tax of one-half of one per cent, upon the gross receipts of the Company from the portion of its lines and property within the State from July 1,1873, to 1878, amounts to $92,673.99 for the main stem and $7,866.65 for the Washington branch. These amounts arc to be paid in cash previous to July 1,1878. in safety, and the opening of the river to navigation is to be officially announced on Thursday. Nothing has been settled about the Grand Duke's visit to the Sultan, nnd it will most likely be abandoned.

A proposal 1ms been made to use the Imperial yacht, but tlie Grand Duke lias been re quested not to embark at litiynkdere, where the yacht is now lying. It is believed that Osman Pasha reported itcctisa tions of Russian prisoners. The preliminary commission in relation to the Congress is only to settle the formula of the invitation, any prior negotiation as to the points to be considered being considered unnecessary, as the entire treaty is to be submitted to the Congress. It is conceded that tlic Turks have been disappointed in the expectation that Bus- sia would remit a portion of the indemnity demanded on signing the treaty, and that no secret treaty exists between Russia and Turkey. The North German Gazette ridicules the report nfloat some time since of an intention on the part Of Germany to annex Holland.

LONDON, March 21. In the House of Lords to-night the Earl of Derby, replying to a long and discursive speech of Lord Strathedcn oh Eastern affairs; said, for obvious reasons, the fleet should not be sent into the-Black Sea at tbe present moment. 'He protested against the repetition of unfounded statements relative to dissensions in the Cabinet. The government had not asked that Greece should enter the congress on the same footing as the great powers, but simply that she should be represented as a means of making her voice nnd claims heard. The government had never proposed that Russia should submit the peace conditions to a decision by the majority of the congress.

They asked that (ill of the articles should be submitted for discussion and discussion only, that being the only possible manner The Chancellor Investigation. Dr. Conrad, late Superintendent of Spring Grove Asylum, (as the State's lusnne Asylum near Catonsville is called,) jreferred charges figainst its President, 3r. Chancellor, a committee of the Mary- aud Legislature, of-which of our county, is a member, has for a week sast been engaged in investigating these charges. It will be remembered that Dr.

hauccllor is the same gentleman who drew such a revolting picture of the condition of our Alms-house last summer, in a report that ho made to the Governor upon the condition of the Alms-houses and prisons of the State. His statements were successfully answered and refuted by our Almshouse Authorities at the time they were made, but we are glad that our.able representative on the committee drew from one of the witnesses, the venerable philanthropist and President of the Maryland Prisoners, Aid Associatioti, G. S. Griffith, of Baltimore, the following testimony, as it is reported by an Annapolis Correspondent of the Baltimore Mr. G.

S. Griffith was pressed by Dr. W. 11. Perkins last night to answer why he had refused to write a letter indorsing Dr.

Chancellor's report of alms-houses and jails of the Stale, the witness answered with great reluctance that his'views did not correspond iu all particulars sctforth in that report. Mr. Griffith stated to I)i. Chancellor that there was a good deal of eolorin" in thcstntcments of the report. In his (Mr.

Griffith's) own report on the alms- honscs and prisons, which he lind frequently Tisitcd as president of the Maryland Prisoners' Aid Association, he had given the facts, which were bad enough, doubtless. The witness differed i Dr. Chancellor, especially in regard to Hogerstown almshousc and as to matters of fact in Dr. Chancellor's report. Dr.

Chancellor, he said, had visited the Hagcrstowo almshouse early in the morning, before tbc keepers had time to clean up the place, and insane people have no moral sense of decency, and arc often no better than animals. The same condition prevails in all other institutions early in the morning before they are cleaned up. Dr. Chancellor also made raisstatemcnts In regard to Frederick and Cumberland jails, which, he says, arc two-story buildings, while they are three-stories high." Owr own people were satisfied with the vindication submitted to them by the Trustees, Keeper and Physician of our Almshouse, but it will no doubt be especially gratifying to them to read the testimony of so good a man as Mr. Griffith is known to be throughout the State.

The Mortgage Exemption. In. the House of Delegates, when the bill for the taxation of Mortgages was up, Dr. Pevkins, of our County, thus forcibly expressed the views of a large majority of his constituents 1'erkios said after the previous action of the Douse on this subject, it appeared rather useless to speak on it, but he had been instructed by his constituency to express tlieir views in case an opportunity was afforded. In his county, prior to the last campaign, which was a triangular fight, each of the three county con- vections had instructed their candidates to vote for the taxation of mortgages, lie called attention to the strange anomaly that it is the capitalists who loan'thcir money out who arc most solicitous for the welfare oi'thc borrowers, while the borrowers themselves are clamorous for the taxation of mortgages.

He argued that the exemption of mortgages was a plain violation of the provision of the Bill of Rights for equal taxation. As to the practical workings of the exemption, he cited the f.icts that before the taxable basis of his county was now it is only There are over worth of mortgages in the county not taxed. The county rate is now ciguty-'clght. cents in the 8100. 'Were the mortgages taxed, the would be nineteen cents less, and at the present rate of State tax the State would receive $7,000 more than it does now.

The law as it now stands is unjust anil inequitable in thus creating privileged class among us, and he called upon the House to consider the subject carefully before votingou these bills." In the Stage Coach Is the appropriate caption to avery interesting sketch Uol. Realties, the great until contractor ai.d stagc-o'wncr of half century ngo, copied from the New York Mercury, nnd printed on 'the first page of to-day's paper. As it possesses a looal interest, from the fact that Col. Hcsides commenced the business ol staging in this town, we bespeak for it a general perusal. Our older citizens will no doubt remember him, when he was the King of the great as Scott or Garrctt arc now sometimes called of that of railroading.

He came to this town ft poor man, as we understand, and married an a of Dr. E. Weis, and it was here, therefore, that his great and active brain projected those improvements advancements in the business to which he devoted his life, which enabled him to out-lrip all competitors in his day and generation. With his stages and expresses, he carried people and mall matter from one remote point to another in the laud with BO much more expedition than it had ever been done before, that it secured for him recognition and distinction in the very highest political and business circles of the country. No doubt Jackson, Chiy, Benton, McLnne, and other grent men from the far West or South West, as they sat in Col.

Resides' improved coaches, and were swiftly carried over the National Turnpike, through our town, by his fleet horses, that the fastest mode of travelling, nnd of conveying messages and mail matter, had been attained. And no doubt, as they moved along at the rate of seven miles an hour, they pitied their ancestors, who could'ut makcmorc than half thatdistnncc, and congratulated themselves upon their wonderful achievement. Since then fifty years have intervened, a small period in the world's age, but a mighty one in its history. Could Col. Resides nnd his cotcm- poraries arise from their graves and behold the railroads and telegraphs doing the work with steam and electricity, that he and they did with horses, they would be overwhelmed with amazement at our progress.

We think now as they did, that it is uot possible for the to make any improvements upon the present, but we might be as greatly mistaken in this direction as we suppose them to have been. None of us can tell what is before us. of is the great moving day in the Western part of this State, and also a pretty general pay-day for the lauds nnd houses, which have been bought and sold during the preceding fall and winter. In nearly nil these sales possession is promised the purchaser on this dny, when he is expected to make payment or part payment. This, business, as well as moving, is commenced iu advance of the day named, wherever It is convenient to do so, so that the remaining days of the present week will be largely occupied by it.

Despite the discomfort, labor and even loss of changing residences, there are many persons who from necessity or choice annually subject themselves to these evils, and we have 110 reason to suppose that the present year will prove an exception to the general rule. Already we all around us the evidences of this restless, migratory disposition, and we presume that there will be quite as many Hillings as on any previous occasion. Should this be the case, it will include some of the subscribers to the Herald and Torch Light, and from these we shall expect a prompt notification of their new places of nbode, that the old paper may follow it in time if you wisli to save doctor bills.

It will, therefore, be seen that the total amount to be paid in cash by tbe Company aggregates $100,911.30, and, altogether the bonds, makes the total payment We are glad that this settlement has been made, and we think the State has done qnite as -well as she had a right to expect under the circumstances, for every blow (bat she struck at the Company hurt her own interests either directly or indi- if it hurt at all. All sensible Mixry- lamlera will be glad that the warfare has ended. The Arlington Eitate.

The state that the heirs of Gen Robert E. Lee are prosecuting a suit for tbe recovery of tbe Arlington estate, opposite AVashington, and by a decision of the United States Court for the District of Virginia, on a preliminary point in the ctwe they have been successful, and it is now rery probable that they will ultimately recorer the property. Arlington lies opposite Washington on the Virginia side, and WM abandoned by Gen. Lee, when he entered the Confederate service, and taken poteesrion of by the Government. It was subsequently sold for taxes and bought by tbe United States.

If the title of the lat- of deciding which of them affected jean interests. Tliis was the sole question now at issue. lie was not prepared to say what answer Russia would give, but lie thought the demand of the government was reasonable and moderate, and unless it was complied with there would be very little use for the congress to meet at all. France sides witli England in the demand made that the Congress should discuss the entire provisions of the San Stefano treaty, and views her firm adherence to her conditions as the best means of insuring a durable pence. Prance on her part demanded that the questions touching tlie holy places and Syria should be excluded.

It was feared that these subjects would introduce a needless complication and impair the good understanding between France and England. Russian advices complain that England has not replied with regard to the Congress, though the entire treaty has been submitted to the Powers and Russia has agreed to complete freedom of discussion. The chances of any Congress being held are diminishing. The latest reports state that the Russian Government has demanded that the British fleet leave the Sea of Marmora. This rumor circulated in the lobbies of the A Republican Mayor Elected in Ifagcrstowii.

MAJORITY 165 On Monday last an election for Mayor aud Couucihncn took place in this town, which excited more interest among our people than any previous election of the kind i i the recollection of the "oldest inhabitant," and sciiucutly drew out the largest vote ever before polled liy 133. Tlic total vote two ye.irs ago for Mayor was 1101, whilst it is now 1230. The town is and always has been decidedly Democratic in its politics, and that party, therefore, started in the contest i this advantage, but it has lost the Mayor by the handsome majority of Mr. Swartz, the Republican candidate, and present Mayor having been re-elected by Ihis majority over Mr. Kepplcr, a prominent Democrat.

This is a gratifying endorsement of Mr. S's. official acts, find a very high personal compliment. In addition to the Mayor the Republicans elected Mr. John W.
