TIE TWO PARTIES.


As in the Revolution 10 go, there were the
Wing and Tory partieS-the arSt for freedom
and the second against 1t, so there are now
two parties; one made up Of true loyal men,
who lAbored in the field and out oft, 10 save
the government; the other made up Of DEM
ocrAts, Copperhaads, rebels, rebel Sympathi-
Eers, bushwhackerS and guerrillas, forming
what 10 called tbe johnson party. iApplause.)

The members hold convention In Philadel-
phia this month and will christen il. s
"BooUs" STATE GOVERNMENT.
These men say that we have no State gov
ernment-that the Legislature Is bogus"
and Brownlow . usurper. For Gods sake
cease this sort of talk and eOnt stir up an
other rebellion. They say the acts Of your
Legislature are not valid. Remember that
Congress last week formally and Solenhly re-
cogniEed the State government as legal and
valid, and the President put bis fist to their
declaration and declared that this State hae
q lawful Legislature. Yet every rebel de-
nounceS the Legislature as q bogus affair,
and, am sorry to say few feeble Union
men shrink from defending Il. Now, " were

scented here for added population; but do what
they may to invite population and enterprise
and industry, all this will avail little or nothing,
unless some needGul concessions are made to
circumstances; and our people, individually
and generally, second their efforts. The land
up for settlement is abundant, the climate at
tractiye, the prepossession in favor of our
State all that it should be; but who can won
der that those who have crossed the ocean in
search of home should desire to find sympa-
thy and support from fellow countrymen; and
who can expect solitary famiies-as general
thing-to settle in the midst of a population
with whom they must fora long period be un.
able to communicate. Cluster even a half
dozen families together, and the difficulty is
measurably obviated. Continue to expect
them to isolate themselves, and the rural dis
tricts of the State may have to suffer from want
OF population and of labor for q score of years
to come. If the vacant lands were in forest
growth, no harm would ensue But with SPLEEN
did plantations going backward to briars and
pines, the case demands the gravest considera-
ton from all interested in the permanent pros

Legal opinion.

ANNAPOLIS, 10Th May, 1866.
To RoBT. J. JUMP, Esq, Comptroller.
Dear Sir Il have examined the letter addressed
to you by j Mackubin, Esq., dated the 14th instant
IN relation to the Assessment Law $780, On. 1917 as
requested by you in your note of to-day and here
with return the with the result of that exam-
nation.
l am of opinion that the words Of the 9th section
OF that law, viz: Except that where purchaser of
real estate snail execute mortgage for the purchase
money or part thereof TO the grantor the sad mort
gage shall not be assessed" to be construed to
require such purchasers to be assessed for the entire
YaIuo OF the Real Estate mOrtgaged and that the
mortgage, his heirs, executors administrators and
assigns, shall be exempted from assessment on &C
count OF said mortgage" 1t was the intention Of
this exemption. that this Real Estate continuing to
ne assessed alter the SALE for its value as
the mortgage for the purchase money. being part OF
thst assessment, shall not be assessed"
am also OF opinion that the mortgages exempted
under this clause such sre strictly within its
wOrds,-that is, suc1 as are executed by the vqtr-
chaser Of real estate for the purchase 7sonev or mari
thereof, to the GraHtor of such mortgagVrs
On the other question submitted, as to the mode #
assessing ground rents" / consider that the o;yna-
of the ground reut-of the fee or his assigns thct i
the iandioTi-is tho party in whose nao the ground
rent 10 be assessed and to the value of the ground
remit and that tho tenant the owner Of the reaseh0d
which Is held subject to this ground rent is not to he
assessed with the value OF the ground rent-but tbs
he is to be assessed with the value of this leasehoI
that these two separate assessments thus making mn
the entire value of the property as fee simple es-
tate are to be assessed in the names Of the owners
enjoying and holding the same respectively
With greatrespect am

DEATH OF GEN, SCOTT.

The foremost soldier of the Republic
when we consider his age and splendid ser,
vices-has passed away and the nation will
cherish his memory whilst it has a name
and a history. Marked as were his military
exploits, both in the war with Great Britain
and that of Mexico, all that has been echpsed
by that noble and patriotic constancy which
later, and in the inception of the rebellion,
prompted him unhesitatingly to stand along
side of the late lamented President Lincoln,
as the very pillar of the cause, the one proud
military reputation upon which no shadow of
those dark days was cast, the very imperson-
alton of fidelity and honor and patriotism, to
which men might point to assure themselves
that they were right.
A noble reputation which has been as a
household word to all who love their country
and honor its defenders, let every tribute
possible be paid to one so great and so true :;
and gathered to the tomb in the ripeness of
years, which were worn to their close with
increasing lustre and regard, let his memory
DO cherished and honored by us of this gen
Grafton, whilst our children and our children s
children are taught to love and revere his
memory to the end of recorded time.

How the Cholera Is Propagated.

New York Correspondence OF the Baltimore
Transcript
The letter of Dr. Charles A. Lee, Professor
OF Hygiene In the Buffalo University, which
was read Yesterday at the meeting OF the New
York Health Commissioners is attracting q
great deal of attention, not only from the
medical fraternity, but also from citizens gene
rally. New theories In regard to the porta-
hlNtY OF cholera are there advanced which are
20 fun Of sound common sense that they at
once tear away all the mystery which has
hitherto been surrounding the progress OF that
dreaded disease. While all municipal corpo-
lttlons are about making preparations TO avert
Tue arrival OF cholera during the coming
Spring IL is well that they should know that
The only real security of our people against this
ulssase is In carrying out the most thorough
sanitary reforms, in personal, domestic ana
aNc cleanliness and publication and 1t Is
work which requires insta attention. Pro-
Hssor Lee, in his letter TO DIR. Sayre, our
resident physician, gives the following as his
reasons for the above iniunctions:
hold that we have satisfactory evidence
that the disease is communicated through the
excavations OF those infected with IT, ana III THIS
way only / could adduce many instances
where there can be no question that the cno-
iera has been conveyed TO hitherto neaItny
localities by means OF one infected person, In
whom the disease has manifested itself only
by an apparently trifiing diarrh1a. fereons
go affected may doubtless travei from one
place 10 another, without serious development
Of The disease, and leave behind him IN privies
aud water closets germs which may give rise
TO deadly epidemic. 1t is this fact SO gene
rally overlooked, or not recognized, that mas
thrown 60 much mystery over the causes ana
node OF extension OF this most fatal and mys-
terious mplady. This fact also explains those
apparent anomalies In the progress Of the dis
ease, why II often takes no defined course In
its wanderings, but spreads indifferently in
different directions and TO different quarters

low the main routes Of travel, nevertheless
often deyiating from them. but travelling no
faster m any case than ships, railroad cars,
aud men, travel. Those great leaps which IL
sometimes seems to take, and which have been
supposed 10 be owing 70 the poison Of cholera
being carried by winds. aSSthus satisfactorily
