Grain INSPECTION.

The following Circular To The Farmers
of Maryland has been issued by the Grain
Inspectors of Baltimore. The object of the
Circular appears to be to point out the
advantages to the seller, of employing a
sworn Inspector of the State, in preference
to a private and irresponsible measurer and
weigher of grain. The provisions of the law
are briefly and clearly pointed out in the
Circular, and the advantages to the farmer
plainly set forth:
CIRCULAR TO THE FARMERS OF MARYLAND.
We, the undersigned State Inspectors of Grain
for the City Of baltimore, having entered upon the
duties of our office, respectfully beg leave to sub

their Grain weighed and measured by sworn Off

tial, and pay no more for the whole than they
usually do for Weighing and measuring Grain
when those duties are performed by parties (who
are not sworn) provided by the purchaser.
In addition, if Grain is refused to BIO taken by
the buyer, under the law, and for any cause it is
rejected. ample provision is made to test the
validity OF his conduct
If the value Of the rejected Grain be less than
500. the case is to be tried in five days, before
Justice of the Peace. and if it exceed that amount
il shall be tried at the first term of the Court of
Common Pleas, or the Superior Court of Baltimore
City and in either event the seller, if successful
shall recover double tho damage sustained, with
the addition of ten per cent for the delay.
If Grain should not be inspected all these gen.

left to pursue the ordinory dlatory proceedings Of
Courts and Justices.

NO one who Is thoroughly, con-
sistently loyal denies the right Of
Congress to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia. Yet since Con-
gross has seen proper to abolish it, there
has been a great deal of loose talk
about the inexpedicncy and injus ice
of such a measure. Let US examine the
matter.
The District belongs to the whole
people of the United States, and since
a very large majority Of them are
in favor of having the Nations Capitol
on free territory, why is it not as
expedicnt to make that territory free
noW as any other time! For as many
years back as we can recollect, we
have heard the same reason advanced
for not abolishipg. slavery in the Dis
tfict, and when in the estimation OF
the feeble minority it would have been
o8pedieut the Lord only knows
1t is customary to submit to the will
OF the majority, without regard to
cxpediency, in all cases where the
niger isn't concerned. Why should
cxpedicncy override every other con-
sidcration in his case?
But why is this act unjust? To
whom is it unjust? Living within a
Stones throw of the great free State
of Pennsylvania we have never yet
been able to discover that Cecil county
by her proximity thereto has suffered
very materially. On the contrary she
is far in advance, in every respect,
of the remo,cr counties. The census
tables show the cash value of the land
in Cecil is $50 an acre., while in Prince
George it is only $40 and in Montgomery
only $50. Will, then, little patch Of
free territory adjacent 70 Montgomery.
Prince Georges, &C., work incalculable
mischief to the State of Maryland and
all the Border States. i" But" says
the directors, est ought at least tc
have been submitted to a vote of the
people of the District 2" Decidedly
not. If Congress has the right tc
legislate for the District-to say, fol-
the people of the whole Union, who
have an interest in it, what rules and
regulations shall obtain there, the citi-
zens of the District have no rights ir
the premises. They are debarred from
voting on all other questions than the
inevitable Niger. Why should it be
an exception? We can't see it.

Death Of Rev. w. III. BPisl,a nc

Many of our readers will be panied to hear of the
death Of Rev W. II. Brisbane, formerly junior
pastor of M. L. Church in this town. lie died at
the Parsonage of the Green ST., Church in Phila.
delphia, of which he had the pastoral charge, on
Tuesday night last.
Mr.. Brisbane entered the Ministry on trial in
ls4S In the spring of 1913 he was appointed a
Junior preacher Of the circuit Of which Bethel and
Chesapeake City formed part. In 1919 Elkton
Chesapeake City and Bethel were formed into a
circuit, and Mr. Brisbane was appointed Junior
preacher Rov. W. II. Elliott being tho Senior
In 1850 he wa, ordained deacon, and received
Elders Oplers in 1859.
His modest, gcntlemanly manners, his genuine
piety and christian department: and his ability as
a pulpit orator (narkcd even at that early period
Of his ministerial life) gave him large place in
the hearts of our people The sane feeling of
affection which chung to him here obtained
among the members Of his charge wherever he
was located. Without early educational advanta-
ges, he nevertheless by his labor attained a very
high position as scholar. lie was one Of the
most untiring students we have ever nown, and
the fruit of his labor was seen in the logical force
and chaste style os his pulpit efforts He had
also attained considerable reputation rs lecturer
and many of our readers rccoloct the able lecture
which he delivered in this town last winter
The annexed notice of his funeral from the
Philadelphia papers We insert here, as doubtless
maLy of our readers will desire to attend
Service 10 the Church on Monday. May 9Th,

of Jacksonville, Florida, was said to have
been necessary, as the rebels, by their rail

SOLDIERS BOUNTY AND PENsIoys.-As
much misunderstanding prevails as to the
bounty and pensions of soldiers, we would
state that all those enlisted for the present
war in the United States service for three
years are entitled, besides their regular pay, to
500 bounty. In case they are discharged for
disabilities or wounds received in the service,
they arc entitled to a pension according to
the disability. In case of the death of the
soldier through disease contracted or wounds
received while in the service, his widow is
entitled to receive 500 bounty besides
arrearages of pay and pension. during her lite
time and widowhood. If a deceased soldier
leaves no widow, his children are entitled to
the same benefits as the widow. except where
the child or children may be over the age OF
l6 years. In such case they are deprived of
the pension. If no widow or children, the
bounty and pay will descend to their heirs
as follows: First, to the father; second, to
the mother; third, to the brothers and
sisters and then to the next of kin.
