{ The LATE CHANCELLOR BLAND-Ihe Fane-
raj His Successor, &c. The late Chancellor
Bland, Of Maryland, was born in Dinwiddie
county, Va, on the 9Th of December, l776,
and removed to this city in the fall of 1901,
where he practsed law for several years, in the
meantime serving as delegate in the Legisla-
ture. He was the author of our present peni-
Tertiary system. and during the attack by the
mttee OF Safety. He was a Judge of Balti-
more County Court from 1918 to 1917, when
he was sent by Mr.. Munroe as a commissioner
to South America. On his return he was made
u. S. District Judge for tho Maryland District
which he held until 1924, when he was appoint
ed Chancellor by Gov. Stevens The Anna
polls Herald, of Thursday, from which we
gather the aforegong facts, has the following
in relation to his funeral and his probable sue
cessor:
The Funeral. The remains of the late Cham
cellor Bland, were conveyed to the burial
ground in this city, yesterday morning, attend
gu Oy Ln0 rSldtIOHS OF inc ueCedSeu, (aiHOUg
whom we noticed from abroad, Capt. Isaac
Mayo, of the U. s. Navy; Col. Jacob G..
Davies, Mayor of Baltimore; and Major James
o. Law, ex-mayor,) the clergy and medical
gentlemen of this city, the students and pro-
lessons of St. Johns College, the midshipmen
(about so in number) and professors attached
to the Naval School, the Governor, resident
State and National officers, and large num-
Der Of citizens. The whole were on fost, with
the exception of the female relatives of the de-
ceased, to whose use vehicles were appropriate
ed, and formed solemn and imposing spectacle.
TAe Vacancy. Among the gentlemen promi-
nently spoken of 10 fill the vacancy in the of
fee Of Chancellor of this State, occasioned by
death, is that of Thomas S. Alexander, Esq,
now resident Of Baltimore, but formerly Of
this city. We venture to say, that there is not
better chancery lawyer, in the ranks of the
political party to which Mr.. A. is attached, in
this State, and his appointment, we are sure
would reflect credit upon the Office and the
State.
We also hear J. V. L. Mcmahon, Esq,
spoken of in connection with this appointment,
and we feel justified in saying, that should he
be selected, it would be hailed by general &C
clsmation, without regard to party.

IRELAND-Ns Destitute and appalling CO,sdi-
ton. There are over a million of Irish, and
descendants of Irishmen in the United States,
who have relatives in Ireland, who might do
much to relieve the wants of their unfortunate
countrymen. On this subject the N. Y. Tele-
graph remarks:
When money was wanted to aid O'ConHell
in his plans it was freely raised and forwarded.
Now, when their relations and friends are starry
ing by hundreds, dying with cholera produced by
nOxious food, not a voice is raised by the Irish
OH behalf of their relatives. Shame, shame on
the apathy of those who here enjoy all the con-
forts of life, and forget their dear and near con-
neYions.
Let meetings be called in all parts of the
United States, and subscriptions be raised in
-four and money, and the proceeds be invested
in Indian corn, and forwarded to the Emerald
Isle. New York city alone, if the matter wes
taken up by the Roman clergy, could forward
$4,000 barrels. There is not laborer, or a
servant of Irish blood, who will not freely give
his or her two bushels of corn, for so glorious AN
object as the saving of Ireland from the horrors
OF starvation.

| grass had seen the resolutions IN Committee
and had stated that there would be no obec.
ton TO them, and that he had no doubt but that
thcy would secure harmony in the convention;
Or. Snodgrass denied the assertion.
Dr Murphy reiterated it, when violent al
tercatlon ensued among several members, and
1t was charged upon DR.. Snodgrass, that his
resolutions had disturbed the harmony of the
convention this morning. A question of vera
CITY arose between DIR. S. and Or. NJ, which,
after explanation, was settled, although much
leelng was exhibited by several members.

EVENING SESSION. The convention re.as-
sembled at l-2 o'clock, and opened with

the different election districts of the State, and
the wards OF the city, to circulate memorials
Tor obtaining the signatures Of all the people of
the State, who are DESTROYS Of having the IL
cense law changed, and the sale of spirituous
liquors as beverage prohibited and we do
particularly urge upon them to send their petit
lions early in the session, TO the representatives
from the counties and city of Baltimore. .
DR., T. l.. Murphy, offered the following re-
solution, which was adopted
Resolved, That we require the powers ofthe
press for the circulation Of facts, and diffusion
of temperance intelligence among the people,
and do therefore urge upon the friends of the
cause throughout the State, TO use their nfu-
ence to extend the circulation of the "Tem-
perance Herald" and give it their individual
support.
c. Keener, Esq, chairman of the commit
tee, submitted the address, prepared by them,

The address was unanimously adopted.
After making arrange ments in reference TO
the printing of the Address and recommending
it to the public for porusal, the convention ad-

F0REIGN CoNyICTs. We copy the following
item from the late foreign news by the Aca-
dia:
Germany. Considerable interest has lately
been occasioDed at Hamburg, by the u. States
Consul having detected, among number of
emgrants, who presented their passports for his
view, previous to their departure for the Unit
ed States, ten Unlocking scoundrels, all dress
ed alike, who, on enquiry, were found to be
convicts from Mecklenburgh Schueria. What
makes the matter worse, is, that the Mecklen-
burgh authorities actually gave these conVlcts
certificates of good character. The u States
Co sui sent them back, with Z strong remon-
STRANGE TO their government against the iniqui-
ty of such proceeding.
AN EXECUTION IN RUSSIA. A letter from
ST. Petersburg gives an account of the execu-
ton of soldier for the murder of a non-com-
missioned officer, against whom he had ha-
tired. The murder was perpetrated under hor-
rbe circumstances. The murderer entered
the sleeping room of his victim, where he
stabbed him with his bayonet, and then cut the
body to pieces with razor, and, putting them
into sack, threw them into a canal. The
sentence was, that he should pass through the
ranks of his regiment, receiving blows from
sticks till death should ensue. He went boldly
through his punishment, singing war.song:
but at length his voice failed, and he fell. The
surgeon, on examining the body, declared that
life was extinct.

THE TOWNS IN MEXICO.

The Towns IN MEAlCO.
as our army penetrates into the interior
of Mexico, every scrap .: information re-
l~lative to the pleasures or difficulties of their
march, becomes ofintereSt. Tie following
extract from arecent descriptive paper of
Mr.. Poinsett, formerly Ambassador to that
country, will, on that account, be read with
attention:
Monterey. said to contain $4,000 inhab-
~iiants, Lintarcs, which counts about 5000,
AMI Ssitiilo, now called Leona Nicar;o, at
ter the heroic ccnSort of Quintani Roo, con-
tanning 1900 souls, are towns pleasantly
situated in tie Sierra Madre, and not far
from each other. Here the vallies are fruit
full, and provisions abundant for the existing
p pulation: There is no want of. cattle,
sheep and goats in this part of Mexico, and
the country between Monterey and FAC
atccas abounds in flock and herds. The
latter is a mining district, and the capital,
situated at the foot of an abrupt and Por-
Iphyrtic mountain: borsts of a noble cathe-
dral, a magnificent tom hall, andthe best
mint in Mexico. Its population is compu-
ted at $4,000 souls, and three OF the most
productive mines are situated in this neigh
borhood. They arc all worked we believe,
by English companies. .
South of Zacateeas is the fertile and
well cultivated district ofAguas Calientes,
which is said to produce one-fourth of the
Indian corn, and one-:hird of the beans and
pepper consumed in the State. The lands
norts and east of Aguas Calientes, are divi-
.dcd into large breeding farms, where the
population is thirly scattered over an I'M
menSe track of country. The next town OF
Importance in San Luis Potosi, capital OF
the State of that name. 1t is surrounded
by a well cultivated country, gardens and
villages, which my be considered suburbs
of the town, and swell the Population to be-
tween so and 10000; the town itself con-
tanning about 10000. San Luis is an i'm
p~ortant commercial city, from its position
in relation to the port Of Tampico, and the
interior State and provinces. Zacetecas,
Durango and other northern and western
States, receive 4 large portion of their for
cign exports through that channel"
RUNORS.-The New Orleans papers
contain several runners with regard to mil
itary movements, which seems altogether
improbable: One says our loss at MoRter-
ey was 100; another that the Mexicans
suddenly attacked our forces after the ar
misticc was signed, and were beaten back
with great slaughter.

ENNSYLVANIA.-Further returns

show that the Democrats have elected six
Congressman, the Wings seventeen and
the Nativists one. David Wilmot, the on
|ly member of the present Congress, who
voted for the new tariff, has been reelected.
As far as that question is concerned, the
Democrats will have at least two votes
from Pennsylvania fn tie next Congress.
Wilmot and Brown ret t.lO question boldly
in the canvass and sictory crowned their
efforts, while most tofthose WHO Stunned the
issue were defeated. The prote C tionists
have NJ cause for rejoicing over the result
in that State. We feel confident now, that
the protective theory will not, after a full
and fearless canvass, receive the support of
Pennsylvania.

The new mounted regiment raised forthe

has been directed to repair TO New Orleans

DOCTORS.-The title of doctors is thus
defined BY a Texan editor: A doctor Of d.

VERY AFFEcTING.-A farmer going to
get his grist ground at a mill, borrowed
a bag of one of his neighhors. The poor
man was, somehow or other, knocked into
the water by the water wheel, and the bag
vent with him. He was drowned; and
&Slen the melancholy news was brought
to his wife, she exclaimed, 'My gracious,
what a fuss there'l be now about that bag!'

ensuing legislature will not arrogate to give
a better Interpretation of the peoples will
than the late convention. The people can re
jcct a constitution unsuitable to themselves

latter seems to be with the legislature alone.
Let the doctrine Of the supremacyo of legis-
lative amendments be rivetcd upon US and
swollen TO its utmost tension, how easily
will it be for the legislature 10 strike down
that part OF tns constitution that opposes or
throws impediments in their way. How
easy to add amendments after amendments
