The Maryland Re-

Mr.. BisER's SPEECH. The Maryland Re
pobcan of Wednesday, last, contains a report
OF Mr.. Biser's speech in the House OF Dele
gates, on the report # the committee on the
Constitution. Although we cannot agree with
Mr.. B. as to some of his positions aud frlncI-
pies, yet we think that he makes manifest the
proprety of holding Convention to reform
the Constitution, with the view to remove ex-
istng inequalities, and toretrench expenditures
In relation to the salary of the Governor; the
expenses ofthe judiciary; the distribution Of the
school fund, Sc, he gives tabular statements
of great interest, particularly at the present
time. Maryland is, comparatively small
State--and yet the Governor receives higher
salary than is paid by any other State in the
Union, with the single exception, we believe,
of Louisiana. 1t is now, however, reduced to
$1,000 by bill which has passed the House of
Delegates, and which we hope will also pass
the Senate.
In relation to the expenses of the Judiciary
system, we quote the following from Mr.. BIZ
ser's speech;
at appears that Massachusetts, with 1900
square miles OF territory and a population of
737 500, pays for her judiciary system the sum
Of $25, $50.
Maryland with 1856 square miles, and
population Of 470Ol9, pays for her judiciary
sal 500.
Maryland therefore pays $50, $50 more than
Massachusetts,. In the ratio Of population
compared with Massachusetts, she should pay
but SIC ,243.
North Carolina, with population of 1885,
4l9, and with territory of $4,000 square
miles, pays for her Judiciary system, the sum of
SIS, 900. Therefore with population of l24,-
$40 greater than Maryland, and a territory
Al $50 square miles greater, she pays S2S. 500
less than Maryland for her judiciary. In the
ratio vi population compared with that State,
Maryland should pay but Sll ,0S2.
! Georgia, with population of 69l ,392, and
| a territory Of 1000 square miles, pays for her
| judiciary system sci 800. Therefore, with
| territory Of So ,544 square miles greater than
Maryland, and population OF 22l 1913 e eater,
she yet pays $40, 100 less than Maryland. Ac-
cording to the same ratio OF population, COM
pared with Georgia, Maryland should pay
| Sl4,820.
According to the ratio of territory, compared
with North Carolina, Maryland should pay only
SO 1868, and compared with Georgia only 49,
| 2S9.
Mr. B. applied the same remarks here, that
| he did in relation to the Govenor-that he did
not contend for regulating the salary of the
judiciary by territory or population. He mere
y wished to show, that with justice equally
well administered, other States, larger both in
territory and population, paid less than Mary
land and that by change in our system, we
could have the laws administered as faithfully
here, for a much smaller expenditure of mo-

SALARY or THE Mayor. A proposition is
before the City Council TO increase the salary
of the Mayor rom $1,000 to $500 per an-
nuni, to take effect after the expiration of the
term Of service Of the present Mayor. Most
of the members Of both branches of tho city
council are the professed advocates of re-
trenchment and reform in state affairs, and We
cannot see any reason why they should not
extend their principles TO city affairs If the
state tax be considered so burthensome as to
require all expedents to prevent it from being
increased; we consider the obligation to avoid
an increase of city taxes doubly imperative;
for the city taxes are already nearly three
times as high as those of the state Where is
the necessity of increasing the Mayors salary?
Is there lack of candidates for that Office
with the present salary2 On the contrary, they
are as "plenty as blackberries;" aud the number
would not be diminished were the salary only
81, 500 year. 1t is not proper time for our
city legislators to move upon the great
fgure"-and especially is it improper for re-
formers and retrenchers to enlarge public ex-
penditures unnecessarily.
AS it has been reported that some of the
"fathers Of the city" have been seen meditat-
ing amongst the tombstones, we hope that they
will treat the subject of increasing city ex-
penses graosIy, and not with the inconsderate
ness of youngsters, who,
"Wih drop of old rye sparkling in the eye,
Would pass any measure without wherefore or why"
BALTIMoRE AND Ono RAIL RoAo. The
whole af Tuesday evenings session of the
House of Delegates of Virginia, was taken up
in discussing the substitute offered by Mr.. Ed
ington, to the bill supplementary to amenda-
tons of the act to authorize the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company TO complete their road
to the Ohio river, and for other purposes, pas
sed Feb. 18th, lS45. The various amend
ments offered to the substitute offered by Mr.
Ellington, were rejected, and the substitute
finally adopted. The bill was then ordered to
its engroSSment. 20 his bill fixes the Western
terminus Of the road at Wheeling, and repeal.

is a substitute, that were Objectionable.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY

We have jus, learned from gentle
man who reached the city yesterday, the
particulars a most thrilling tragedy which
occurred at the Mammoth Cave in Ken
lucky. A preacher from the neighbor-
hood OF the Cave, arrived at Owensburg,
Davis county, in that State, where the
general assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church is convened, and gave
the following particulars:--A Mr., Bell,
who was the lessee OF the Mammoth Cave
Hotel had agreed to sub-let il 10 another
person, whose name we have been unable
to learn, and had received one thousand
dollars in advance. ,At'about the time the
money was paid, gentleman arrived at
the hotel, and wished accommodation Tor
himself and family. Bell persuaded the
new lessee, who seemed reluctant to re
ceive them, and as room was scarce, bell
agreed 10 share the bed Of The stranger,
whose daughter with the daughter Of the
new lessee, occupied the room in which
Bell usually slept. This change was IN
known to the new lessee, who had, il
seems, conceived the horrible plan Of muir
dering Bell that night, and recovering
the money. Al midnight he entered

Ny DEAR MsaDEGEoRGE.- My desire to
see my faith AonQR mole in this world
made me altemptihe boldest enterprise
ever engaged ID. It required more reso
luton and courage on my part than al
Strasburg and Bologne, for was deter
mined not to submit to the ridicule which
attaches to those who are arrested esca
ping under disguise, and failure could
not have endured. The following are the
particulars Of my escape.
You know that the fort was guarded by
400 men, who furnished daily 60 soldiers,
placed as sentries outside the wall. More
over, the principal gate Of the prison wa;
guarded by the goalers two OF whom
we're constantly on duty@ 1t was neces
sary that should first elude their vigil
ance, afterwards traverse the inside court
before the windows Of the commandant's
residence; and, arriving there, should be
obliged TO pass by gate which was guar
ded by soldiers.
Not wishing to communicate my design
to any one, il was necessary to disguise
myself. As several rooms in the part Of
the building | occupied we're undergoing
repairs, it was not difficult to assume the
dress Of a workman. Ny good and faith
