Candidacy Of M, Harris.

We took occasion in our last paper 10
deny that we bad ever asserted that Mr.

had erroueously quoted Us as authority for
the statement, 70 make tho proper correc.
ton, Several Of them have done this. but
we have noticed that tho Baltimore EDcn.

that We FIRST started this report" We
cannot, Of course, prevent the Truascrip
from misrepresenting US. IL it bas a mind

believing il Aad this we propose TO 90 by

is the only publication that had been made

School Examinations, &c.

The regular Summer vacation in our
public schools commanding on the lst in
stant, an examination of the pupils was
had during the past week throughout the
county. We have put ourselves TO some
trouble to ascertain the character Of these
examinations and the results they develop
ed, and truth and justice require US to
state that at no past period within our
knowledge have our public schools exhibi-
so high standard Of usefulness and cfi-
cheney as they do at present The new
school system is fairly entitled, We think,
to be credited for this great Improvement,
but whether it is or not, that great i'm
provement has been and is being effected
upon our old system Of instruction cannot
be gainsayed. 1t is evidenced in the su-
pcrior scholarship and in the systematic
management of teachers in the cleanli-
ness and neatness Of School Houses; IN
the rapid progress Of pupils, superinduced
by wise and equitable system Of rewards
and deprivations, and it is evidenced also,
in the general and active public interest
which is being attracted to the cause Of
education in our midst. And all this has
been done in 'tfe green leaf What may
not be hoped when time has been given to
discover and remove defects in the new
aystem, ifdefects there be, and to supply
such improvements as a wise experience
may suggest

Mr.. Harris' Speech In Ohio.

judging from the comments Of several
democratic organs that have reached us
from Ohio, we infer that the positions as
sumed by Mr.. Harris in bis late speech are
meetings .the appreciation Of the democra-
cy Of that State. As evidence Of this, we
give below leading editorial in approval
Of Mr.. Harris views and in compliment
to his speech. which wo take from the
Hest and South, the metropolitan organ
Of the democracy of Ohio.
Nh. HARRIs' Democracy. Our readers
need not be requested TO read every line
Of Mr. Harris great secession speech in
Congress. Lamartlnc once said Of an ef.
fort Of Michel de Bourgos 10 the tribune Of
the French National Assembly, that it was
more than a discourse, il was an European
event. We say the same thug Of this true
and seasonable democratic speech Of Mr..
Harris. IL was delivered on the 18th in-
stant, from the desk in front Of the Speak
er's chair, and was therefore not aimed al
any body's back, but with the thermometer
at S6, it was calmly and coolly pronounced
to the face of every single representa-
tive.
The spirit Of the man shines ike a lamp
through every passage of the speech. and
one without being advised might bave
known that it was spoken as it ought tc
have been by man among men who were
in the greatest need OF the truth. and face
TO face.
The doctrine of the speech will support
the entire manliness Of the speaker IN irs
delivery. II could only come from an hon.
eat statesman Of the first order at the pres.
ent grievoas and melancholy crisis Of oul
affairs. So deeply has corruption gone dowr
into the very bones Of men that there is nj
longer any Sitality in their frames. Patri
otism in Congress, so loudly vaunted By
the members, is a meritricious counterfeit

ate private advantage. In such compa-
ny, which could ouly have been collected
by the fraudulent caucus system, thls great
speech sounded like an accusation. II was
a terrible arraignment Of -the consoli-
dationists, and their war, and their
war measures. II stripped them
Of any support in the authority given
by the constitution. The speech shows
that our federal sytem is voluntary COM
pact of the parties to it That the States
are the parties. That the States are SOW
ereigu States, and have. in Jeferson's LAM
guage, their remedies for every wrong. as
:he invulnerable protection Of their sover-
eighty. /.
MIR Harris defence Of the intellectual
and moral superiority Of the Soath was an
attack in front upon all manner Of Puritan
excellence. We leave its success to the
reader. No speech Of this Congress will
have anything like the same effect and du-
ration. If the author bad done nothing
else, be has achieved permanent fame
among our real statesmen aud patriots. -
The whole Of Yandecdop here and else
where is challenged to Mswer ths logic Of
Benjamin G. Harris. II cannot be an

Aloxander Long. which placed Ohio il

Through the attempts atcSpaIsion aud Sen-
sure. and so they viii 90 down to posterity

consulted by the patriots Of the future more
than al. the rhetorical and tinorous displays
Of all the popularity seekers who bave wor-
shipped self and betrayed their trusts, and

The Freedmen's Bureau,
MI


We had begun to hope that the days Of
the Freedmen's Bureau we're numbered in
MaryIand or at least that the area OF its
operations would continue to be restricted
70 original limits. In this, however,
we have been mistaken. Capt. s. n.
Clark, Of Gen. Howsrd's staff, has recent
" paid visit to our sister county Of Cali
wort, and las made the discovery that
the presence of Bureau Office, with the
usual number of dashing orderiies and at
tondants, was matter Of prime necessity
m order to bring that county "moTe per-
fecty under the jurisdiction Of this Bu-
reau." It never seems to have suggested
itself to Capt. Clark that it might be 40
Intrusion to carry this Bureau where IL
was neither needed nor invited, but We
suppose be regards its blessings as 50 pa
tent that people ought to DO made to ac-
cept them whether they we're wiling or
otherwise. A blessing il IS not, however,
and never has been, either TO the white or
black. and especially not to the black
"a thousand times better" says q negro
writer in a late number Of the Nationalist,
apaper edited and conducted by negrocs,
"a thousand times better would it be for
colorcd men we're it abolished, for instead
Of being safeguard or protection for the
freedmen, it is only place in which freed
mems rights are bartered away; il serves
only TO engender bitterness and hatred in
tho hearts Of the very people with whom
he expects to live, die and be buried The
sooner it is out Of the way the better for
all parties concerned"

SuPposED VIOLATIONS oY OrsrER LAws.
1T having been reported to the proper
officers that the Captain and crew OF the
Sloop. Hector Belle, we're engaged IN TAX
ing oysters on the Hawks Nest in Patux-
ent river in violation of the laws Of the
State, on Monday last the States Attor-
ney, With the Sheriff and large posse Of
men, left our village for Town Creek to as
certain the facts in the case aud to bring
the supposed offending parties 70 punish
ment. Arriving at the Greek, the officers
impressed sailing craft into service and
proceeded up the river to where the sloop
was anchored. and, regarding the suspi-
cious circumstances under which the crew
and boat were found as sufficient 70 war;
rant their capture, they took them into
custody and brought them down TO the
creek, leaving guard upon the boat for
security. On the following day, the Cap
tain Of tho boat voluntarily came 10 Town
and, establishing TO the satisfaction Of the
officers the absence of any willful intent on
bis part to violate the Law, and bringing
out, also, many other extenuating circum-
stances, he was discharged from custody
without delay and went upon his way re-
ioicing.
