From the Baltimore Patriot
BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.

We yesterday, in publishing the annual report Of
the president and directors Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, had no space left for COM
ment. The report was in every respect 80 clear,
and the subject of which it treats so admirably ar
ranged that little was left to say except TO remark
upon the excellent condition Of all the affairs Of the
road and 70 congratulate the stockholders upon its
fatering prospects.
The table showing the progressive increase in the
trade and receipts Of the road is one Of the most
gratifying facts in the report it is evidence of
the permanent value of the improvement and affords
encouragement to the stockholders to look for great
lly-enhanced dividends on the stock at no distant
Il will be seen that the net earnings of the main
line of the road for the year $736603 IL, be-
ing nearly FIVE and half per cent on the capital;
and that the net earnings of the Washington branch
were sos, 094 65, being nearly six per cent on the
capital Of that road
The reduction Of fare on the Washington road
has worked WELL and the reduction of the freight on
-four has had the effect of restoring to Baltimore a
portion of the trade which had been attracted away
by the nominal freight charged on the canal.
The renewal Of the iron rail on the track from
Baltimore to Harper's Ferry is to be entered upon in
the next year, and carried forward fast as may
be found necessary.
The operations Of the last year have demonstrated
the entire capacity of the railroad to transport coal
at very low freights; and the company are thus en-
couraged to go with this trade, and make prepa-
ration for entering into il more largely than now.
The great question Of continuing the road TO the
Ohio river 10 treated Of length; and its importance
not only to the road but to the city and State, point
ed out This Is a matter which cannot too early
engage the attention of our citizens; and we hope
that another year will not be permitted pass with
out the work being commenced.

DEMOCRATIC poINGs.

r.. Efforts now in progress in several States OF
!. Union to amend their respective State consttu-
ara pregnant sign Of the times. They show
~, ,he principles of the democratic party in the
..no,rv are daily strengthening their grasp on the
.1,;, mind. In the great State of New York, this
.,;,,,;onal Reform movement has taken the
o ~, definite shape, and is rapidly approaching a
.u.s,l consu animation. II is not in form, per-
hans strictly party movement; but single glance
4. landing objects of the reformers, is enough to
,.rt,in the party principles with which those pur-
.o..s are in sympathy, and out Of which they
spring. .,;,.,;., -,
zoos, 70 limit the official patronage of the State
r..,rment-to restrict the power of the Legislature
.I.agc the credit of the State-to reform the pres
,naci,rv system and to abolish the present unjust
.nd 0nnressive privileges of moneyed corporations.
Th.ss are the main practical objects of the move
.., and no long examination Of debates, or care
81 .cr,uy of votes in the legislature is needed to
,de,e to us the party in which such an effort took
4. ,,e and by which it will be sustained. It's dem
o,uc character and lineage are written on its fore
head. :,
!, NAV well be that the wings of New York will
,,.ts show Of cooperation in the measure. The
vhig party is the party of expedicnts II may, for
lime affect zeal for constitutional reform, as one

,dou, and employ 1t may, too, urge the call of a
Constitutional Convention, in the hope of appealing
successfully to the sympathies of the anti-rcnters,
or Of the abooniss, in some sections Of the State,
aad SO gaining temporary predominance in the
State government That such expectations are en-
,e,taned, the course of some of the wing journals
makes manifest, even to the eye Of distant OF
server. But we believe that, in all such antcipa-
tons, the wings are doomed TO sure and signal dis
spuoinment The democracy of New York watch
o. with vigiant eye over the success of its favor

democratic faith and too deeply imbued with its an
cient democratic feeling, to be found remiss, or

it's brightest hopes are thus put in jeopardy Itknows
full wel-none better than it, the democracy ofthe
empire State"-that the wing party is at heart the
partv of conservatism--not the conservatism OF
great principles, for which the democratioparty will
fight to the death--not conservatism Of all tina,
is good in theory, and found valuable in prac-
tse,-but of that selfish and blind and fear
shaken conservatism, which hugs every old
abuse, and shuts the door on every just reform.
Knowing this, the democrats Of New York will not
be caught sleeping. This great measure Of cons,i-
tuiona reform is their measure because it is truly
the measure of the people; and while they fight out
its battle manfuy against the attacks Of open foes,
they will, with equal zeal and assiduity, shield j,
from the strangling embrace of pretended friends.

EXECUTION IN KENTucKY--LAw VNDIcArED.--
Dr. Baker, who was convicted Of murder in Clay
county, Kentucky, has been hung, in spite Of the
menaces Of the mob, who threatened to burn down
the Jail and take him out. Governor Owsley did
not pardon him. not only because he thought him a
murderer, but because he believed a severe exam
pie necessary to protect pcacenbc citizens from yio-
ience in Clay county. For four years, the people
there have been in a lawless statc-no courts have
been held--no taxes collected. When the mob
threatened TO break into the prison, ex-governor order
ed the military to its protection, and secured it. The
decided course of the governor is TO be commended
by every lover Of good order. Il is too often the
case that the weakness Of public magistrates yields
TO the fierce demand Of violence, which tramplcs
down all law and authority, and, gathering bold
ness from IMMUNITY, sets at defiance all restraint
upon its own will.-Phn kdger

MARTINS IMPROVED BEE PALACE.

We had the pleasure this evening Of seeing two
transparent glass jars Of virgin honey and the
honey-comb, brought to this city by Mr.. Cal
vert, Of Fauquier county. The honey was de-
posted by the bees themselves, in these jars in
verted over the hive II is upon the principle of
Mr.. Martins patented "lmproved Bee Palace" of
Columbiana county, Ohio. It is decidedly the most
beautiful production Of that sort have seen.
The palace itself is a combination of fifteen hives
and six cups; and will hold, when all are filled,
about 900 pounds of honey, and will yield about
400 pounds for the use of man. Mr. Calvert pro-
poses to exhibit two of the hives tomorrow morn
ing at the Centre Market; and it is, indeed, well
worthy the inspection Of the curious, and the adop-
ton ofthoss who are so situated as to make honey
for the market

"You will probably have heard, before this letter
