The United States Marshalshin.


A certain EX-Clerk of the Court
of Common Pleas of this County
we notice, is making vigorous cf.
forts to secure the appointment o.
United States Marshall for this
District. He is to start in q few
days for Washington City, to wit.
ness the Inauguration, assist in do
ing the fighting, Eye gods! but wont
he scare the Marylandcrs) and
then go to pumping for the office.
Judge ITaincs, Of this place, we
understand, is giving him lengthy,
lucid, and powerful recommends
tions, to influential parties at Wash
ington, based upon many PROPOSE
tions, Of which the following arcthc
chief: First-That he is an honest
man. Sccond-That he is a Re-
publican Of the "irrcprcssiblc
school. Third-THdt he Is a
"ficad Of Grcdom." Fourth
That if appointed he will make a
most capital officer, and particular
ly so, so far as the execution Of the
Fugitive Slave Law is concerned,
and at the end Of Ills term will
gloriously transmit the same, I'M
stained and untanished, to his
successor. Well, well! thisis great
business for Judge l~Iaincs to be
engaged in, truly. We never have
entertained very high opinions of
Mr.. Lincoln's ability to govern this
country, but we do hope and trust
that he will have too much judg-
mcnt of human nature to make
this appointment. We say this not
from any i'll feeling toward the ap-
Yiicant, but because the good Of
our country requires it; and with
us, reasons of this character must
surmountevery other consideration.
But we shall see what we shall sec.
Jndgc Haines, in making his re-
Communications, doubtless proceed
cd upon the hypothesis: That a
man who signally fails in conduct
ing his own business, is the very
inan to succeed in conducting the
business of others. The philoso-
ply may be good, but we would
prefer that some other people prac-
ticcit, than the people ofthc South
crn district of Ohio.

Charles %arroll's Supplemental Declare
ton to the declaration of Indepen-
dence,
In theyear 1926, says a writer in
the Washington Union, after all,
save one of the band of patriots
whose signatures are borne on the
Declaration of Independence, had
descendedto the tomb, and the ven
cradle Carroll alone remained
among the living, the government
ofthe city Of New York deputed a
committee to wait on the illustri-
GUS survivor, and obtain from him,
for deposit in the public hall of the
city, aFcopy of the Declaration of
1776, grDced and authenticated
anew with his sign manual. The
aged patriot yielded to the request,
and affixed with his own hand to a
copy of the instrument the CRATE
full, solemn and piOus supplemental
declaration which follows:
"Grateful to Almighty God for
the blgSggs which, through Jesus
Christ Ape6L ord, he has conferred
on my beloved country in her
emancipation, and in permitting
me, under circumstances Of mercy,
to live to the age Of eighty-nine
years, and to survive the fifteenth
year Of American Independence,
adopted by Congress on the 4th of
July, 1776, which I originally sub
scribcd on the I'd day of August of
the same year, and of which I nm
now the last surviving signer, l do
hereby recommend to the present
and future generations the princi-
pies of that important document as
the best inheritance their ancestors
could boQucath to them and pray
that the civil and religious libcr-
ties they have secured to my coun-
try may be perpctuated to remotest
p%ostcrity, and extended to the
whole family of man.

friends made up for llln a very
