Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.

\ meeting of the Stockholders of this road
wa, held 1T Upper Marlboro, on Wednesday
last. The attendance was full, but the pro-
ceedings were not Characterised by that
spirit of harmony which is always necessa-
nv to insure the success of any great work of
general Importance. The proposition to
abandon the line of road as originally sur
veyed by Major Trimble, and to undertake
the construction of n road from Upper MARI
boro', was voted down-and the Stockhold-
ers determined to adhere to the cherished
project of making a road that will benefit II
very large portion Of Southern Maryland
This determination is but doing justice to
those Stockholders who reside South of Up
per Marlboro. and who subscribed in good
faith. in the assurance that their interests
would be carefully guarded by the Directors
Of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
The course pursued by the Directors here
totore elected. was fully endorsed by the
meeting. and the reiterated confidence of the
Stockholders evinccd by the reelection of the
old Board of Directors.
The report of the President of the Board,
John ). Scllman. esq, was received with
great interest: and the belief generally OK
pressed that every effort in their power had
been made bv him and the Directors to
further the interests OF the wOrk.-.NdrlbO-

Abolish the Franking Privilege

Abolish the ranking privilege. Make
everybody that uses the Post Office Depart
ment pay for the work it PERFORM for them.
Perhaps the President of the United States
might properly he exempted from the rule,
but even in this we should be granting "a
our Chief Magistrate an immunity not ac-
corded to the Queen of England, who must
afix a stamp on every letter she ontide to
the mails. By the abolition of the frank
ing Privilege, the finances of the Depart,
ment would be relieved in more ways than
one, while the Treasury would br llghtened
of some impositions which now weigh upon
it grieyously. There would not be more
than one half of the bulk of mallahle matter
10 be transmitted which now goes over IN"
routes, and consequently the railway com
nanies and steamboat lines would bargain
to carry the mails at a much lower hgure,
and the Department would he paid for all
the matter carried; the expenses would be
made smaller while The revenues would he
enlarged. We say the bulk Of matter III
the mail bags would he diminished by one
half, because, without the Thanking privilege,
II very small proportion Of the documents
now distributed by members Of Congress
would be sent or even printed, and III this
there would he an immense saving In the

Astonishing Facts.

There is Il great disposition on the part OF
soi-disamt philanthropists to overlook the oh
iects of sympathy which are close at hand
aud make great professions Of feeling Tor
the suffering and the oppressed in distant
climes. The remark of John Randolph, OF
Roanoke. when invoked for aid to the Mod
ern Greeks, "Sir, the Greeks are at your
door," has often been quoted, and we ar" all
acquainted with the benevolent lady IN one
of Mr.. Dickens's novels, who was SO much
occupied in working for the Inhabitants OF
Borlnboohla Cha, that she left her own chill
dren to grow up neglected and %torlorn. The
state OF things recently revealed in New
York city, calls to mind very forcibly the
folly of the excessive charity for remote dis
~tresses, while the vulgar victims of lmme,
date destitution are unheeded and uncared
for.-P+teJSbWtg Express.
This refers to the recent exposition OF the
horrors of the Tenement House system, an
account of which was published in a recent
number of the Gazette.

Kossuth and tho War.

NeuiyaijM at Enqiand. Louis h"sSuth
lately made one Of his brilliant speeches al
Manchester, England, concerning thr war III
italy. The following /, a hriri sketch al H.
main points:
He counsellrd England 10 strict neutral
itv in the present contest, not, however from
any regard 70 the interests of England. but
in the conviction that the sympathieS OF the
British rulers are with Austria. lie dis
tinctly charges them on this score, maintain
ing that they have never expressed a WORD oil
fricndlincs> or anxiety III regard {" the tat"
of Italy. Will" they have manifested the pro
foundest Solicitude for Austria.
Kossuth's position is, Of course, that "i Il
Hungarian. lie hopes to see tn" termentS
and agitations o~tltaly extended 10 ms native
country; the Huus. Of Austria i 10 him the
dragon Of histury, frtid and red with crime,
against which he has thundered for years,
and he is aversr To- seeing it strengthened,
even by a moral approval. In this view the

oftvranny and wrong
kn.-uth draws an ingenious distinction
between the French and the Austrian GOV
ernments: for in France the deSpotlsm Is
personal and temporary, while the nation Is
essentially free, radiating the light OF science
and art to all the world: but in Austria, the
dcspotism is absolute; part and parcel "i the
national life, depressing and blightlng what
ever comes within its influences. Admit
ting. however, that the governments are
equally odious, that fact in itself would be
an argument against the interference Of Eng
land. If the taSkmastcrs 20 to war, says
Kossuth, let them tear each other to pieces II
they please. He adds, ut the same time, that
he knows nothing OF the intentions OF LOUIS
Napoleon, although he believes that his in
terests are all on the side of the indrpen-
dence of the nations.

How they Manage Voters in England.

The London Examiner contains n report
of a curious case of clectioncering which late,
" came before the Criminal Court of Cirences,
ter. "Mr. Pole of Straton House" it seems, a
gentleman of plentiful estate and tory poll
tics, stood charged. in company with his gar
dener, his butler, and his groOm's wife, with
kidnapping, inebriating, and plying with
"drowsy syrups," a certain liberal voter nam.
ed Kibblewhite, on the night preceding the
election, and for the purpose OF preventing
said voter from voting thereat, contrary to
the statute in that case made and provided.
The "hocussin" was effected through the
medium of a cup oftea, administered by Mr.
Pole maid Mary Colhurn. Many very curl
Gus disclosures of the beauties Of the English
election system have recently been made and
in bribery, vulgarity, rowdyism, and all the
more Objectionable characteristics Of elections
which some of us are apt to imagine belong

has shown himself quite as able to compete
with and in fact TO excel Us, rs he boasts to

Nobly Said.

In the case of the convicted and sentenced
Oberlin slave rescuers, whom the abolition
ists hoped to have discharged from imprlson-
ment, by the Supreme Court Of Ohio, on hg-
beas coTpos, Judge Swan thus nob!y con-
cludes the opinion Of the court:

the supremacy of the constitution and the

Judge Swan was elected by the republican
party, and a few days after he delivered the
above sentiments, his party met in State CON
vention to nominate a Judge of the Supreme
Court, and selected another man to take his
place.

The Iron Crown of LOmbardy.

On the 22d Of April last, the Iron Crown of
Lomhardy was solemnly removed by the
.Austrians, under the protection Of a strong
body of horse. from Monza to the strong fort
res, Of Mantua. This Iron Crown has Of
course a history. The little town of Monza
was the spot on which Theodore the Great
the Dietrich of Bern, Of the German Hero
Legend had a palace built, and on which
Theudelinde, wife of the Longobard King
Agilulf, had Il magnificent church erected
To this church Theudelinde presented the
Iron Crown. which she had had made for her
husband. Our authority for this is the his
torian Of the Longobards, Paul Warnefrid.-
The crown is made OF gold, but has inside an
iron ring, Of which tho legend relates that it
has been forged from the nails Of our Savior's
cross. Charlemagnc was crowned with this
Iron Crown-aftcr him all the German en-
perors who were likewise Kings of Lombar-
Iy. On the 10Th Of Ma, lS05, Napoleon
put it on his head, with the words of renown:
'Dicu me Ia donnre: care a lui y touchera."
This threat became afterwards the motto Of
the Order Of the Iron Crown, which Austria,

his wiie's life insured for $4,000, and a. she
was to be confined in a short time, they ar

she was confined and another physician was
called in, who left the mother and child do

doctor called, and took occasion to admins

twenty minutes afterwards. After she had
been buried, it transpired, through the
Investigations of the Insurance Company,
that 4 large quantity Of arsenic had been
given to her. The husband confessed the
whole transaction.
