That PETITION OF TIE COMMISSIONERS.
1t seems some surprise has been ex-
pressed, that Mr.. Farnandis of Hartford,
presented to the House of Delegates, a Pc
tiuon from the Commissioners of Cecil
county asking for new assessment; and
the supposition was INDUCED in some quar-
tiers, that il could be twisted into a disre-
spect to the delegates from this county.
We rather think, however, no q" no mares
nest" has been found. as statement of
the facts may show. A prominent mem
Der Of the locofoco party OF the county,
who has served in the legislature, who
has held high office in the State govern
ment, and who now holds prominent f.
ice in the county, was present when tn,
Commissioners determined to petition for
a new assessment, and told them that to
ensure their petition prompt attention, it
should be sent to the chairman of the Com
mitte- OF Ways and Means. It was sua-
gested that it would be more proper to
send it to one of the delegates from the
county; he replied that he had knowl-
edge of the order of business there, and
the chairman OF the OF the aforementioned
Committee was the proper person 10 direct
II TO According " it was ordered 10 be
sent to Mr.. Farnandls, who IS chairman of
the Committee.
Such are the fac's: and there is no truth
in the ilrsinuaiion that the Commissioners
meant any disrrspcct to the delegates from
this county--and the politics OF the gem
tleman, at whose suggestion it was sent, as
stated, forbids the conclusion, that h.
meant any disrespect to them; and in this
conclusion we make remark, which in
most cases will be found to be correc,
that those who betray an anxiety TO fasten
a fault upon others, are the very men who
would themselves perpetrate kindred Of
fence.
1T may be here proper enough to re-
malk as an item of news, that the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, are considering
the expediency of General Re-vauation
and asst ssment throughout the Stale.

Correspondence of The Cecil Whig.]
Letter from Ches are AXE.


Mr.. Editor My attention was called
to letter in your last Issue, relative to the
treatment OF MIR Sutherland in Chcsa-
peake City. There are always two sides,
as well as two ends to tale, and there
are two sides to this. Your CORRESPONDENT
must learn to give h's own side and "noth-
ing eXtenuate nor set down aught in mil
lce." We, the people OF Chesapeake, are
capable OF approaching all efforts 10 mn
prove us physically, intellectually or NOR
ally, and will receive IN kindness all such
endeavos. But, sir, an ignorant, abusive
charlatan we despise
The science of PhrcnoIogy, as at pres
cnt developed, is OF very doubtful cast at
best: but when man ignorant of It's pro-
feSsed principles, in an insolen', abusive
style addr' sses a respectable audience, as
sailing the reputation Of the community,
and insulting the modcsty Of females, he
becomes almost intolcra he. You know
would be the last to jnstit, violent or even,
uncourteous treatment. yet l scarcely
know how to treat such a man without
giving him an application of boot leather.
The above named lecturer favored your
own town, and opine one or two lee
lures more would have secured him a free
ticket out of the place.
it is such lecturers and opponents Of
Phrenology that have hlonght it into DIS
repute and preciudes that investigators and
research which would, long since, have
established it as true or false 10 the salts
faction Of the world.
The gentleman above referred to, VAS
very fond of bringing the character Of
others to the public, l think, h..wever,
his own would be far more interesting.
] had not the pleasure of examining his
head, but it there is any truth IN Phrenol-
ogy it should have the following develop
lnentS.
In addition to temperament bold and
audacious, his Appropriateness is small
and Selt-esteem very large; no other COM
binatlon would make him SO disgustingl,
vain and ego'stical. HIS Cautious ess,
Conscentiousness, Venerat on and Be-
nevolence are very dimnutIve, this with
large Language, Combativeness and DeS-
Effectiveness gives him that high degree of
impotence for which he is SO remarkable.

Old HrnkeTf-Esrnfr.Be,s-I.occ.Coco e.

In the State of New York the modern
self-styled Democratic party is divided in
to two branches the Old Hunkprs and
the Bdrnburners-whose feelings of an
tipathy towards each other are greater than
their common feeling OF opposition towards
the wings, and have for the last few years
set at defiance every effort to unite them.
These names originated on this wise.
That party being very strong in the state,
the state offices were always sure 10 fall
into the hands Of its adherents A coterie
OF its leading men, located a, Albany, and
having coadjutors in all the counties
throughout the state, always managed to
keep the Offices in their hands, or
to have them given to men of their own
choice. Leading politicians not in league
with them, attempted in vain to secure
portion OF the spells the secret and wide
spread influence of the managers always
held the appointing power IN its chain, and
directed the besowal of Office.
Continued neglect and disappointment
chafed the spirit Of bold and talented par
,tizans, and they denounced through the
press and from the rostrum, the selfish
clique, who, Iaboring less than they for tine
success OF their party, still managed to
secure the emoluments OF office. Thou

was fairly arrayed against itself. A prom
'nent memb"r Of the anti-league section,
declared, that like the farmer who burnt
his barn to drive away the rats, they
would defeat the party to GUST the success
sion OF Office holders. Hence this section
of the party were denominated "Barn-
burners" The Barnburners charged that
their opponents, like "Old Hunk" in the
play of "The Hypocrite".- who always
managed so as to get everything INTO his
own hands were active in managing the
affairs of the party, merely that they
might, as they always did, lay hold of all
the offices: and hence they styled them
"Old Hunkcrs."
The term "Locofoco" as applied. first
to section, and then to the whole of one
OF the parties OF the country. arose, also,
among these New York gentlemen. Alta
meeting in Tammany Hall, we believe
about 1884, there was contest for the
mastery between two sections OF the party.
The regular old Tammany Hall portion
had, on the occasion nl former similar cir
cumstances, shut off the gas and LETT the
hall in darkness .Apprehensivr that the
same thing might occur again, the seceders
had provided themselves with pieces of
candle and Iocoioco matches. and it having
been determined that they We're in the
majority, the gas was shut off as they ex-
p"cled, and utter darkness prevailed. In
slant y they struck their matches and thick
throughout the hall, hundreds of lights
sprung up - they proceeded with the meet
ing and carried things their own way.
From this circumstance that portion of
the party We're called " locoocos." The
etymology of the word locofoco," as ap
piled to matches, may perhaps he traced
to locus, place, and f chs, a fire-in the
place Of fire.
The section of the party, to which the
term 'ocofoco was thus applied, were rad
icals in the extreme, and the whole party
throughout the whole country. having
progressed rapidly towards ultra radical
ism, have been OF late generally denomi-
mated " loc0iocos."
just nthis place, we will al'nda to

contemporaries of the opposite party on
this point; they object positively against
