Judge Hugh Lennox Bondief the Grim
inali court of Baltimore. has lately done an
act which shows him to be as infamous a
sooundrel as the most hardened criminal ever
tried in his court His action. impriscning
the Police Commissioners appointed by Gov
ernOr Swami, and the Sheriff of the city,
was an act SO high-handed. so utterly Illegal,
and SO yindictive in all its features, that it
has brought upon him the scorn and contempt
of every honest man who has made himself
acquainted with the facts; and We earnestly
hope that the incoming legislature Of Mary
land viii prefer articles of impeachment
against him without delay, so that he may be
hurled from the bench which he hasdisgraced
by this and many other acts of Judicial mall
feasance.

The recent elections at the North, both in
their results and the character of the Repre-
scntatiyes elected, is an anomaly in even that
rotten, radical, riotous region. Massachu-
sets adorns her delegation in Congress with
that eanting hypocrit, Banks, and the spoon
stealing and bank-robbing Beast Butler!-
Well done for the land of the Puritans and
wooden nutmegs! But too add to the agpa-
rent infamy of the state-but it may be to
her credit Boston and Charlestowu each
send to the Legislature coal black negro,
from their most aristncratic wardsi
New York has furnished in her Congress
sional delegation, John Norrisey, the cele-
brated pugilist, much to the chagrin and APP
parent disgust of the radical press. In reply
to their structures as to the peculiar fitness or
responsibility of fighting John (who it ap-
pears is conservative in sentiment, politically
at Ieast) for the honorable position to which
he has been elected, the Chicago Times thus
rakes the motley crew fore and aft, proving
at least Morrisey's responsibility by contrast.
Isn't it rich:
Z" The ex,champion of the P. r. may not
be the best mansin the world; but he isvery
far from being the worst man who will be
present at the deliberations of the rump. Nine
tenths of the present republican representa-
tiyes will fall below him in brains, small as
may be the quantity possessed BY the pugi-
list.
He is not drunken bully, like Chandler,
nor drunken fanatic, like Yates, nora drum
ken idiot, like Sprague. He Is not blacks
guard, like Ingersoll. apoor craven, like Grim
mel an impracticable ass like Galena Wash>
burne, nor a theft, like the probable congress
e man Butler.
Republ icaa congressman can learn good
deal FROM Morrissey. Morrissey never yet
struck foul blow nor bufeted his antago-
mist when he was down. In this there is a
lesson for Thad Stevens, who, now that the
South is almost desert would gladly reduce
it to chaos. When Morrissey stepped into
the ring, he went there prepared to take Us
we'll as give; and in this respect he will afford
an excellent example for black republican leg
islators who are endeavoring to inflict all pos
sible humiliations and indigaities upon the
south from their safe position in the halls of
Congress. Morrissey can show scars which
prove that he has confronted danger; IN this
he has the advantage of ninety-nine one
hundredths of the republican Congressman
who we're so fcrocious in their desire for others
8 to exterminate the rebels. When Morrissey
threshed his antagonist, he was manly enough
to shake hands with him, and thereafter to
hold him as his friend and, in possession OF
this magnauimity. he will be UNNECESSARILY
superior to the malignant black republican
Legislators who are filed with hatred of the
south.
AS Legislators go-taking the black repub-
Ecan average as the specimen-John Norris

The National I,,tellige"cer, of Tuesday has
the following: The long -prophesied with
drawal of Macmillan from the imperial hon
ors to which he was seduced by the Emperor
ofthe French, has at last taken place. We
publish elsewhere the intelligence, which we
have reason to believe authentic, of his de-
rarture from the City of Mexico, and of his
expected arrival at Vera Cruz. By this time
the Austrian steamer dispatched for his &c.
commodation has received him on board, and
the late wcarer of crown that rested solely
on French bayonets has left the untriendly
shore, to which he was never really invited,
aud where his presence was regarded as
standing menace to Democratic institutions.
For Macmillan, the Austrian Prince, the
American people have naught but good will ];
for the husband of the unfortunate Carlotta,
the kindcst sympathy; but for Macmillan,
the Mexican Emperor, II was impossible that
they should have anything but aversion aud
hostile wishes May prospecting gales watt
him safe home to the greetings of his ances-
trail friends, and to the embraces of wife
happily restored to her right mind z

Cholera in the Valley.

Z ~ .
There is no doubt, we presume, about the
fact that that dreadful scourge of the world,
the cholera. has invaded the Valley of Yirs
GINA. Several cases are reported at statin-
ton, and the Shenandoah Herald shows that
st has also made its appearance in the lever
Valley. Our people throughout the whole
Valley should now be more than ever CAREFUL
and prudent in their habits and dit We
are no alarnists but we can sec no reason
why our people should be exempted entirely
from the yisitations of this '.pestilence that
walketh in darkness"
DEATHS FROM CHoLERA.-Mr. Daniel
Gable of this county, but who has been living
in the West for several years, came to this
county a few weeks ago on business, and
whileat The house of friend on Cedar Greek,
was taken with the cholera and died in a
short time. The wife of Mr.. WIN. I1ocknIl-
Ter, who waited on him duriug his illness, was
taken down with the same disease on the 18th.
and died in few hours Dr. VIM. III. Kef-
fer, formerly of this place, who was the at
tending physician. also fell a victim to the
same disease ON the 9th inst DIR Baldwin;
of Frederick attended DR. Ketfer we under.

place last September, under the direc-
ton of Charles A. j. Marsh, A. NJ,
as Principal, has proved an entire sue

this institution every way worthy OF
popular favor, and especially of a
large home influence and patronage
Every young man, whether looking
forward to mercantile, mechanical, OF
agricultural business, will find the
course here proposed the best prepar
alton he can have, and the sureSt rOac

WHAT THE LOVE OF MONEY DOES

WHAT THE LOVE OF MONEY DOES.
"A good illustration of the results Of
the love of money was furnished re-
Gently in Paris, in the case of a bar
Oness who died at the age of IS years.
The appearance of her appointments
indicated extraordinary neglect
There was scarcely any furniture, the
dust of years Obscured the window
panes, and the paper walls were spot
ted and rotten. The place appeared
to have been uninhabited from time
immemorial, and yet the baroness liv-
ed there for twenty-five years, paying
an annual rent of 800 francs. In
the bedroom stretched upon a truckIe
bed, and partly covered with filthy
rags, lay the body Of the baroness
An examination showed that death
arose from weakness caused by want
Of food. 1t further appeared that she
had starved herself wiIfully; and i'll,
deed, in point Of avarice the baroness
would have borne away the palm from
HarpagOn or GOsbeck.
Notwithstanding her considerable
fortune estimated at 100000, OIL
$4,000 a year, she always went
clothed like beggar, and often 50
licited charity in the street. She liv
ed on CrustS OF bread and refuse O
cabbages and other vegetables, sucl
as the garbage she picked up from
the dirt heaps. A few days before he
death she fell down from weakness
while passing the door of the con
cierge, from want Of food; but she re
fused to take some refreshment prof
fered her, no doubt fearing that sh
would have to pay for it. She sue
ceeded in gaining her apartment, an,
was not afterward seen alive.
