TN, S,preme Couf.-We find the following
tirh compliment to our Supreme Court IN To-

Gre,gners can discern SO much merit where some

in Court "a true bill" upon an Indictment against
the Hon. John Rowan, for voting IN tins county

We learn that Mark!ey, who is suspected as
che perDetrator of the dreadful murder and arson
which were committed few days ago IN Frede-
rick county, has been arrested IN the north
western part of this city. The Patriot states
that he was apprehended by Mr.. Walker and

Prison. but on entering our prison was imnedi-

the same Markley described by the Frederick
Citizen. On FRIDAY night week he slept at
Westminster, and on the following day arrived
in Baltimore. The account he gave OF himself

Josef ,,o'e;S.-Oar readers have not. we
presrsre forgotten the persecution OF Joseph
Nan,a hv the present administration. He is
~, gay years of age. He was appointed Re
sister Of the Treasury by washington. ana ta'th-
fully discharged the duties 0. hts ONCE under sX
successive presidents. But his services OF fifty
years only qualified him for removal, in the eyes
of Amos Kendall. & Co. aud he was first turned
ont aud then viliied und sandered, according to
the practice of this enlightened reforming admi-
nistration. His health requiring change OF AIR.
he gave notice that he should be absent from
home for a short period. He had left Washing
ton but few days, when an attachment was TAX
en- out against his property, at the suit 1i the
United States, his house was entered, the keys
and moveabes seized, and he was proclaimed
defaulter by every kennel press from the Penob-
scott to the Sabine. His accounts have since
been audited BY an order from the Circuit Court
for the District of Columbia and on the report Of
the auditors decree has been entered for I 900
over and above all entries against him. While
it too late to indemnify him for what he has
suffered. we hope Congress will not allow him
to be cheated out Of his money; and we also hope
that the public will not forget this practical COM
mentary upon the boasted reforms of this pre-
eious administration. 7. Com.
