MORE Coop News FROM Maryland
John W. Forney says: "The aspect in
Maryland is by no means promising. In
saying thisI desire to state fact and q
warning at the same time. Governor
Swami, chosen by Union men, is fol!
lowing the example of Andrew Johnson,
and preparing to betray his friends. 1t
is not doubted that, through the sinister
influence of Montgomery Blair, he will
appoint commissioners under the regis.
try law who will enroll the names of re-
turned rebels in the different counties.
All hopes off different result are given
up, and now the tried and trusted patri-
OTIS who fattered themselves that Mary
land was wholly secured to the Union,
are preparing for desperate struggle In
November
"If the Unionists Of Maryland resist
the attempt of the returned rebels to
overawe and overwhelm them at the
polls, then Andrew johnson will be
called upon to declare martial law-to
intercede by the army to give the rights
of suffrage to the enemies of thecoun :
try, and to put down the brave spirits
who saved Maryland from the fate OF
Virginia aud South Carolina"

rebel majority in the State, and that
these measures were adopted to keep
them IN check9 q
The design, say the Radical Central
Committee in o former address to the
people, is to keep out of power all those
persons who plunged the country INTO
the late war. This was the whole Dur
den of the argument in favor OF the pro-
soriptive system. The people were
frightened by this raw head and bloody
homes into the support OF ubiquitous
measures, in violation alike of their own
constitution and OF all the great prlnci-
pies of free government.
II is now admitted that this was all
mara nretence-that these measures
were wholly unnecessary for any such
purpose, and that, independent OF them
a clear majority of the people OF West
Virginia are loyal.
Then let us have government OF the
people once more. Let the loyal MAJOR
itv govern. Let us have tree discussion
and free elections again. Let us return
TO the principles Of republican gov
srnm.nt and constitutional liberty;
There il 10 doubt Of it, that more than
three. fourths of the people of West Vir.
gipia are loyal-loyal, we mean, to tho
Union and the Constitution, and loyal 10 the
State of Vest Virginia, but not loyal, per-
haps, to the Radical party, nor to the
clique which copgrogates at our Custom

pie may be trusted without being hand.
cuffed by such legislation.
No. The object of these measures is
not to keep the State in the hands OF
loyal men, but to keep it in the hands OF
those who now control it and have SO
grossly mismanaged it. They prescribe
one class of men today. They will pro-
scribe any other class tomorrow, if ne
cessary to maintain themselves in power
We are already told by the InteUigencer
that 1.-The privilege to practice law is
like every other test-every other voca-
tion--subject to the legislation of the
State" We are warned that every mans
vocation-that of the farmer, the mer.
chant, the banker and the mechanic, as
well as that of the lawyer. is subject to
the will of the legislative majority; and
we may all be prohibited from earning a
livelihood in the State Of West Virginia,
unless we submit to such tests and con.
ditions as tho legislature see fit to i'm
pose.
The warning is significant, New tests
and new conditions are to be required,
and the prescription is to be extended to
other classes Of the community. We have
no constitutional protection against the
legislative will, for they no longer pre-.

Radical .sendacisy.

We have recently made several reteren-
ces to the uusIIupulsus perversions Of
truth in which Radical journals are wont
to indulge. We would not now refer to
this subject, but for the fact, that in these
days of unlimited uail facilities, these
journals sometimes pass into regions
where their character is unknown, eud
where some credulOus mortal may deem
them capable of truth. There are many
persons who hsbitually receive, as cor
rect, whatever appears in their party or
gans, and never trouble themselves to
compare newspaper statements with his
toric record, in order ~ ascertain if
there be discrepancy or agreement
between them To such persons it

the assertion in last Saturdays Inteli
qeaoer, relative to the vote of Democratic
Congressman upon the second OF the
Smith resolutions Of December 18th,
1863, is a plain, palpahls and Intentional
narversion of the record We say it
may not be apparent to its deluded and
credulous readers, that the Intelli96ncer
has wilfplly mis-stated the facts III tho
casa referred to (, nevertheless, a more
shameful and disgusting Instance Of
newspaper mendacity, we have seldom

MARRIAGE BY LOT.

The curious customs which have grown
up la all old countries strike the newcomer,
particularly if he happen TO be, as is the
case with our correspondent from young
country, with great force. Almost daily /
see or hear of something which appears SO
very strange. For yesterday being
May-day, land very cold, disagreeable
May-day il was; not at all like your first day
Of May in dear old Virginia. there were
celebrated in the Parish Church of st. George
in the Fast certain of these quaint ceremo-
mics, very interesting to those connected
with them, and likewise from their antiquity,
worthy of note by the general public. About
a century and half since. a rich brewer,
of the name Of Raine, bequeathcd a certain
sum of money to provide from Its interest
the annual sum, for "cvcmorc,' of GlOO,
which should be the dover of one Of the
girls brought up in charity asylum found
ed by him, and situated in Gravel Lane.
On yesterday all the girls, forty in number,
nj present In the asylum, were brought to-
gether, and as has been the annual custom
for about one hundred and fifty years, three
of them, selected from the number for good
conduct, drew lots for the prize. The for
tunate one is entitled TO the elOO, which is
due and payable upon her wedding day,
which must take place on May-day next
in old st. Georges. The one who drew the
prize on the May-day, 1865, was then mar
ried TO her hearts choice and received her
dowry of Cl00; the man selected by her as
a husband having received the approval of
the trustees, which is, in all cases, necessary.
The royal standard was hoisted from the
church tower; there was great ringing of
bells, and the assembled company was very
numerous. Letter 10 The Richmond

OXEN PROFITABLE TEAMS.

Late in the autumn of 1864, good far
mer Of our acquaintance purchased yoke of
ordinary cattle for two hundred dollars, and
used them in hauling wood, rails, and any
thing else, and for doing most of the plow
ing for the spring crops on farm of seventy
acres. In June he sold them for two hun
drsd and sixty dollars. He thinks their
labor paid well for the feed they consumed.
On the same day he drove these oxen to
market, he purchased another yoke for one
hundred and ninety dollars. After few
months he sold these for beef at an advance,
which also paid well for the meal fed to
them, and purchased another yoke at once,
and commenced feeding them with meal
working them occasionly. BY this system
Of traffic he made three hundred dollars in
about one year, and had a good OK team
constantly, receiving good price for all
grain fed them, besides making n large
quantity Of excelen; manure. lie is a
good manager, always feeds his teams well,
treats them kindly, and never allows them
10 be overworked or worried by disagreahe
drivers, who use mp more of the energies
of team by bawling at and whipping them
than by the labor got out of them. He
never purchases poor oxen, even AT a cheap
rate, as il requires many dollars worth of
meal to get them into iattening condition.

A MISERY'S FANCY.

A Paris correspondent relates the follow
ing romantic and thoroughly "Frenchy"
freak Of rich old miser Of that city:
NJ. Raimondet, a rich old miser who died
lately, left a will couched in these terms: 81
give and bequeth all my fortune, amounting
now 10 673, 553f soc. in railway SHARES, to
the young girl who, having lost the left eye
and the right leg, should please and get
married 10 young man of her own age,
hansome honest and well educated, If at the
death Of my friend Durand, whom / appoint
a the executor of my will, the popularity
| mention shall not have been met with,
/ wish all my property to be shared between
the various bureaus Of benOyelencc III our
good city of Paris" In order to carry this
will into execution, NJ. Durand, who IS also
very rich, sought in vail for some time 4
Young girl who should be in the condition
required by il. A few days ago, however,
while passing along the Rue st. Honore, he
perceived in a small linen cap shop glrl
was trying on n cap for a customer, and who
had not the use of the right eye. lie went into
the shop and asked for some handkerchief,
and wasdelighted TO find, from the noise otthe
mechanism, that the girl had wooden leg.
In the evening he returned TO the shop and
followed her home TO the Rue MOnInartre.
lie afterward made some inquiries, and
found that the girl was engaged TO be mar
ried 10 a young man named Adrien D,
a clerk. A week aiterward, when the young
couple with their friends, were about TO ter
inmate their nuptial evening by a modest
repast, TO the astonishment of all present,
NJ. Durand entered and seated himself with
out ceremony at the table, and made known
the disposition Of the will. 1t is almost
unnecessary 10 say that some addition and
improvements were made in the bill of fare,
and the first toast was the memory OF the
testator. The newly married pair have just
left Paris, with the intention Of spending
the honeymoon at Nice.
