BALTIMORE AS A WELL GOVERNED CITY-Tt has
been the custom during some years for other cities
10 regard Baltimore as very little better than den
OF thieves and murdercrs. Indeed so persistently
did the press Of some of our sister cities labor to
that effect that the notion became wide spread
through the rural districts that it would be unsafe
for person and property to visit Baltimore. Buyers
went elsewhere-the trade of this city sufercd.aob-
torn was the euphonious title given to Baltimore
That there was some foundation for this opinion mt
one time there is little doubt but long after all row
dylsm had ceased this malicious trick to detract from
the trade of this city kept up. To-day we are the
most quiet, orderly community in the Union, and
Baltimore has been so for long time past During
the past summer, when the press of the country was
teeming with robberes, assasSnations and outrages
that chilled the blood to contemplate Baltimore was
perhaps the only city that was perfectly free from
crime Of an aggravated character
Our merchants are DESTROYS that the fair fame of
me Monumental city should be known abroad that
inc maiclous hbels that have been spread to her dis
advantage should be contradicted; that all buyers
ana visitors, whether from North or South should
kho" that we are law-abiding, order loving COM
inunty. and that we claim to be the quietest best
governed city on the Continent. 1t is cheering to
notice this, and pleasant to make note of it for the
information of those at distance.
