Correspondence of the American Republican. !
ANNAporIS Nov l6 1914

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. l6, 1914.
Messrs. EDrToRs:-Since you have raised
the "American Republican" flag, every person
seems eager to look into your paper; many
have subscribed, and all, without distinction of
party, inquire for it. 1t is all the rage here
! wish you success, believing that you assume
the position upon principle, and a pure love of
country.
There is nothing of general interest stirring
in this city The wings are all abash, and the
democrats deport themselves, under their VIC
tory, with becoming propriety.
1t is understood that we are to lose our es-
teemed fellow townsman, Thomas S. Alexan-
der, Esq. He is to take up his future residence
in Baltimore city. Aside from politics, he is
beloved by all here, and his loss will be much
regretted. None stands fairer in this commu-
nifty as lawyer, and he will prove an orna-
ment to his profession at the Baltimore bar.
The beautiful residence occupied by MIR.
Alexander, upon the State House Circle, has
been purchased by VIM. P. Preston, Esq, of
your city, and strong hopes are entertained that
he will make this city his future residence; but,
| have reason'to believe, MIR. P. will not take
up his permanent abode here. The property
purchased is one of the most desirable locations
in the city; it was formerly the residence of
the late DIR. Ridgely, and under its recent pro-
prietorship has undergone such improvements,
both in the fine mansion and enclosures, as to
render it surprisingly fine.
Our institutions of education are in a
flourishing condition. St. Johns College, UNI
der its present management, possesses superior
advantages, and numbers scholars from various
and distant parts of the union. The Public
School system has proved beneficial; but owing
to the frequent changes of teachers, has been
somewhat neglected. Mr.. Schey, formerly
of Georgetown, d. c., has been superseded
within few days past by the appointment
of MIR. J. ]. Nicholson, young man of some
merit, and fair promise.
Many beautiful buildings have been erected
recently, by gentlemen Of wealth, who have
sought an abode here, bo,h for comfort and
health. There is but little doing, however, in
the way Of business. More anon. r.
BIsHop ONDERpoNK OF New York. Bish-
op Onderdonk, of New York, has published
another letter, addressed to the clergy and peo-
pie of his diocese. 1t is as follows:
Brethren-The object ofthe threats to which
| referred in my recent letter to you, has been
in measure accomplished. After several
weeks given to dilligent hunting up of causes
OF accusation against me, a few specifications,
all assigned to years gone by, have been deem
ed sufficient to warrant the further and more
formal investigation of trial Your Bishop,
therefore, is now the subject of a canonical
presentment
My humble trust, through Christ, in Him of
whom the inspired word saith, 'the righteous
Lord loveth righteousness; His countenance
will behold the thing that is JUST" affords me
a consolation, support, and confidence, for
which | cannot be sufficiently thankful.
Never, dear brethren, could |, with clearer
conscience, and never with purer and more
heartfelt devotion, than now, minister among
you. In my present position, however, an
avoidance of public illustrations may be reas-
onably expected. | submit. For the present
suspend all public services. Believe me,
however, on that very account, my prayers in
your behalf will be the more frequent and ear
nest. This is privilege and consolation of
which, thank God, my enemies cannot deprive
me; and that shall be the subject ofyour faith

and Important character.
