ANNENArIoN OF Texas. The editor Of tn
Madsonian reads Senator Benton a long lee
ture on his bill to annex Texas to the United
States and insists that it is designed to kill the
measure altogether, Whatever may be the in
tenton of introducing the bill, We sincerely
hope that it will have the effect anticipated by
she editor of the Madisonian But we suspect,
from a sentence in the article of that paper,
that tho editor cares less for the annexation of
Texas than for Standardization. He announ.
ces that he is about to retire from the editorial
chair in few weeks, (that is, we presume, on
the President elect taking his scat,) and his
great anxiety is, to have the measure adopted
whilst he IS the received organ of the admins
.ration, that he may have the qualification OF
ooasting that h. and President Tyler added
Texas to the Union. 1t is pity that Senator
Benton should have frustrated 50 fair hope OF
immortality; and we can hardly be surprised at
,he indignant terms in which the editor rebukes
nm for the act. 1t is certainly cruel thus to
thrust aside President Tyler and the distin-
gushed editor of the Madisonian, and to take
the credit of measure which they had con-
cocted and calculated upon not only to cover
their names with impcrishable glory, but to per-
2etuate their power. The editor lamcnts over
the clone starr as if it were about to be blotted
out of the firmament and to vanish forever; but
we dare say that it will continue to shine with
a lustre at least equal to that of the admins
tration which is about to bid goodnight to the
world forever. If not, its rays will be feeble
indeed

AND BALTIMORE CLIPPER.
MONDAY MORNING, FEB. 10, 1916.

SrnyxyoR OF THE PoRT OF BALTIMORE
We loaIn that the nomination of Ihos Lloyd,
ESQ, as Surveyor Of this port, was unanimous
g. Confirmed by the u. S. Senate on Saturday.
Tur STAMP Acr We publish in another
column memorial to the legislature which is
now being circulated for signature, against the
enactment of the bl! before the house usually
termed the stamp act. We have only recently
examined the provisions of this bill, and our
conviction is, chat it will have partial and
oppressive operation. 1t Will be particularly
severe ON Baltimore. We arc decidedly in IA
vor of having the most energetic measures
adopted for the restoration OF the states credit,
but the taxes for that purpose should be made
to bear as equally as possible. 1t IS true, that
so would prefer even this stamp act to rcpu-
aiation; but we think that ways and means
can be found without resorting to an act so ex-
ceptionablc Independent Of the tax upon
notes, SC, it subjects every policy OF insurance
Oarge or smalD to tax of one dollar; every
lease, bill of sale, mortgage, &c. TO a like sum;
every bill of lading to % cents and every
charter party ST. We have no disposition to
complain of any measure which may be adopt
Ell TO raise revenue, but we do think that it
would he as unwise as it would be unjust to
pass the bill under consideration. The citi-
zens of Baltimore have paid their taxes to the
state with cheerfuness and alacrty, and are
prepared to meet their just proportion of any
additional tax which it may be necessary to
levy; but the Legislature should not attempt, or
desire, to ''ridc willing horse TO death" We
rope that this bill will be laid aside. We
know not what it would yield; nor should that
be matter of consideration, if its injustice be
manifest. Why not add five cents to the d.
rect tax-that would raise about $4,000 per
annum, and would be perfectly equitable, as it
would affect all real estate equally.

little investigation, however, showed that in the
main these disclosures were true, aud the whig

that they knew no more OF what they were ,alk

Ottawa, III. Zelda, .cu,tury, ss45.


In noticing silly paragraph of the Alton Ie-
legraph, stisnaii1ng the occupants Of canal lands
as "an,-ren,ers," the Chicago Advocate does Us
the justice To say. Nv G think the expression Of
the Ottawa Free Trader, that the present occu-
pants Of canal lands will not pay rem, nor allow
any one else 10 do So, as construed by the Tee-
graph, is altogether too strong, pnl our impress
sion is that the Free Trader has Itself qualified
the expression" If the Advocate had omitted
the word "has," It would be right. Our express
sion, al The time we made it, was qualified by H.
hitting tito those occupants that have pre-empton
rights. We commended, (and no one that knows
anylhing about the matter has pretended 10 dis

The Cambria arrived at Boston on the III inst

she brings is the inferior quality of the wheat

the crops. The yield Of the grain which
has been lhra>hed out is light aud of in

/ been influenced, TO some extent, by the
failure Of the rice crop in Carolina, and
/ by the drought which has injured more
or less the crops in the northern states ;
but mainly il is attributed to the general
failure Of the potato crop here and on the
Continent, and TO the inGcriorly of the
present as compared with former years

will show how far these combined causes
have operated. The probability is, that

would have been much worse if our home
