DISTRESSING ACCIDENT IN FREDERICK.-We are
panied to learn from the Frederick Citizen that
Mrs. Richie. daughter of Colonel W. P. Maulsby,
and wife of John Richie, Esq. was dangerously in
jured by the explosion of camphene lamp. 1t was
a two wick burner, one of which was lighted, and
in order to raise the other and put it in a condition
for lighting, she screwed off the top, when the ex-
posive gas that generates in all such lamps, being
liberated and coming in contact with the lighted
burner, the lamp was exploded and the material
scattered blazing in every direction over the room
Her clothing and the articles in the room all being
fired, she was only saved from fatal consequences
by the prompt action of her husband who rushed
to her aid from an adjoining room; but as it was,
her arms are frightfuly burned as well as other
parts of her person.
We are much gratified to learn however, that
she is now improving and is considered out of dan

limo one is responsible for the rapid growth of
lawlessness in Baltimore, or the overbearinp
height to which it has attained, within a few
years past it is useless to complain of its existence
or to trouble ourselves about its remedy If its
development is attributable solely to the mperfec-
ton of our Institutions, and in no wise to the dis
honesty or inefficency of those who administer
and execute the laws, we may as well resign our
selves at once to our miserable fate For it must
be impossible, under such circumstances, that the
elevation of good and capable men to office can
suffice for the redress of grievances or the re-
establishment among US of the reign of peace and
justice. We labor to no purpose about nomina-
tons and elections, if it is demonstrate fact that
it is nobodys fault that rufianism has been toler-
ated nay, almost licensed in this city But such
is the proposition practically asserted here day by
day We are told that the police are blameless al
though they stood aloof, from end of this town
to the other, and saw hundreds of citizens beaten,
insuted and disfranchised for, it is sad they had
no specific and ineligible instructions to guide
them. The magistrates have nothing to answer
for, though they have discharged notorious crim-
nails of times on straw bail, because they in
sist that they bound to accept as security
every scoundrel who may Offer if he only
perjures himself about the value of bis property.
The States Attorney is not accountable, though
men shoot at another in open day,
for they compromise the cases, and the
witnesses cannot be inauced to do their
duty by coming into Court The Judge is in no
way culpable, for he tells us the Governs
ors often pardon convicts The MAYOR is not in
fault for even when he appointed policemen or
judges of election, of depraved and abandoned
character, he issued proclamations commanding
them to act uprightly; and when he selected dis
honest justices to preside at station houses, he
con'lnued to express his disapprobation of straw
bail.

assaulted at the polls, and omnibusses and hacks.

who is admitted TO be deserving of Eeprobation,
for "they are all, all honorable men, Must we
be content then, with the unhappy reflection,
that lawlessness is an epidemic of the times. and

our inability to mend matters, we Weld for
awhile the franchises of free citizens, and wait

given for our relief and what guarantee have
we that even then our condition will be the better?
For II 1t be true that to the nature of the Office
solely, and not to the incapacity of him who fills
1t, the evils we suffer are altogether traceabe.
we confess we have little hope of any institutions
which can be devised in future. None can be suo-
gested perfect enough to perform their func-
tons despite the weakness of the minds
and hands which should inform and direct
them, and many may be adopted worse even
than those under which we live 1t is wiser
then not to resign our just expectations of re-
ceiving protection under existing laws, and to
assert our right TO good government even under
the system now established The municipal
authorities, judicial and executive, have at this
moment ample power to arrest detan and punish
criminals If they who WELD these powers
would act, each in his sphere, with impartial
vigor, and incorruptible integrity, they could
crush forever the insolent ruffianism which now
defes them Had they so acted since they first
swore to discharge faithfully their several duties,
Baltimore would have been to-day the well-gov-
erned city that its people in Town-Meeting assem-
bled have demanded it shall be- And an efficient
and pure administration of justice and the laws
can still redeem us, or, at least avert the perls
that lie athwart ouradvancingpath. To ensure this,
the elevation of irreproachable and capable men to
office, is the simple and practicable expedent pro-
posed. The reform movement has bravely in
augurated the good work. and it remains yet to be
seen whether the people will give to it an earnest
and undivided support, or will content them
selves with bewailing the imperfections of the

Wewere taken somewhat abac1 on Friday last by
an outburst ofvirtuous indignation from the Ameri-
can party press over the nominations made the pre-
vious evening, in the Tenth ward One paper
tells KIT is sheer madness to f1out such nomina-
'tons in the face of an almost unanimous public
"opinion;" and another says t'the American party
twill never vote any ticket bearing the names of
t'HNEsLEY and ENGLISH. The outrage of placing
''those names as the choice of respectable citizens.
''is only to be excelled by the outrage of fraud
''and violence through which alone their election
''could ever be hoped for" We confess we are
puzzled by this language, being altogether I'M
able to reconcile the course pursued in reference to
these nominees with that heretofore adopted by
the selt-same papers, in regard to the self-same
parties. It is not the first time the latter have
figured prominently before the public, though
when we ventured to find fault with Mr. SWAMI,
for appointing them to office, we were stigmatised
as libellers of the ''model MAYOR" who thus re-
warded them, and accused of being DESTROYS to
''break down the city government" by casting
discredit upon its Executive department" Be-
fore we have had time to repent of the grievous
wrong done twelve or eighteen months ago, to
the two estimable citizens above named we find
those who then witnessed without objection if not
with satisfaction, their promotion to positions Of
some responsibility, denouncing them now in the
bitterest and plainest terms. And why? Is Mr.
HINEsLEY less worthy of confidence than he was
when Mr.. SWAMI made him Judge of Election,
or has Mr.. ENGLISH fallen in public estimation
since the MAYOR commissioned him as a Police
man? There were no reproaches whispered
against His Honor so long as he thought fit to
encourage these same candidates and confer upon
them any of the little places at his command; but
now, when they are only put forward by an ire
sponsible meeting of the ward they may be safely
discarded, and no terms are too disparaging to be
applied to them. Nobody can possibly ''vote any
"ticket bearing the names of HINEsLEY and Eng
"MsH," Ofcourse not. Tile Patriot has already

GREAT MISUNDERSTANDING IN VERMoNT.-The
Connecticut river is now lower than ever known
before 1t is two feet lower than at any time dur
ing the last twenty years. owing to the protracted
drought in Vermont and northern New Hampshire.
The large steamboats, running between Hartford
and New York find it impossible to get from Middle
town to this city, and they will stop at Middle
town, and send up passengers and freight by the
smaller steamers until higher water.
The drought is unprecedented at the North
worse than it is here. In some of the towns in
western Vermont, we are told, the farmers Tin de-
fault of grass have fed out all their hay and for
some time past they have cut down trees in the
forest for their cows to browse upon. A gentleman
who saw this, gives assurance that it is fact.
Good cows there were freely offered at $40 head.
Hereabouts the potatoes suffering from
drought, and the yield will be less than was antic-
pated, The price is 63 cents to CT cents per bushel
