The AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
annual meeting of this Association took place in
the city of BALTIMORE, on Tuesday last. The
object of these meetings, among other things, is
an enquiry into the quarantine laws of the coun-
try, and to suggest such alterations and regula-
tions as may meet the wants and necessities
of the times, and to take into consideration the
advancement of the science Of medicine. The
business of this association is so closely connected
with one of the branches of the General Govern
ment, that the U. S. Navy has the appointment
of a delegate thereto and in the selection, care
is taken that the appointment be conferred on
one of the ablest, most experienced and scientific
surgeons in the service.
We are gratified, therefore, to know that Har-
ford has been the recipient of this compliment,
in the appointment of U. S. Surgeon D. Harlan,
Of this county. DR.. Harlan has great experience
in bis profession, and has seen as much if not
more sea service than any surgeon of his age in
the service. He ranks high as a physician, and
occupies an enviable position in the navy and
his scientific knowledge and urbanity of manner
eminently qualify him for the position Of a dele
gate to convention composed of the scientific
and learned representatives of the medical faculty
Of the country.

More Abolition Frauds.

The New York Legislature has arranged and
altered the registry law of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn, so as to place the vote of each COM
pletely under the control of the Board of Police
intending Of course to control the elections of
these cities in the same manner rs the elections
of this State have been controlled under the pro-
visions of the Infamous and Tillainous registry
law, which now disgraces our statute books
The city of New York has from thirty to forty
thousand Democratic and Conservative majority,
and 1t is to overcome this that this monstrous
act of tyranny and outrage has been connected
and passed. IF there should be no danger of
these cities or the State going against the Re-
publican party, then to make some show of hon
esty, few Democrats and Others opposed to
Radicalism, will be permitted to exercise the
dear privilege which Abolitionism claims for he
negroes of the South. But if there should be
any danger of defeat, then you will see just such
IN election in New York as we have become
quite used to in Maryland. About one man out
of every twenty who is opposed to Stevens,
Wade 4 Co., will be permitted to vote; or per-
haps you may have u Baltimore city election,
where the candidate Of the party of ''great moral
ideas" will receive in precinct, ward or dis
trict, greater majority than the combined vote
of both parties. These people are perfectly
aware that they do not and cannot hold the
places they now occupy by the consent of the
people, and hence this fraud upon the public

they were ousted on accountoftheir "disloyalty''
so it was OF the time charged. The true rea-
son for this preparation of wrong by the Sin
tensely loyar' was, however, that they had but
about one majority in the State Senate, and
larger one was desirable. But while no one

receive moro than one-third of the votes which
should entitle any man to an election last fall,
and if an election should be held tomorrow,
he would not get the vote in this county which

there was at that time polled but about half
the vote of the county
Unless we are greatly mistaken, the people of
this county yet regard this as white mans
government, and are not willing to keep in
power Congress that spends its whole time in
legislating for the negro, to the exclusion of the
white man.

TIDE WATER CANAL.-The trade thus far on
the Tide Water Canal has been light, and it is
rather early in the season to form correct esti-
mate of what may be done during the season.
The Philadelphia Towing Company towed from
Havre de Grace, for the week ending on the 2sth
of April, Twenty-Five boats, the greater portion
of which were loaded With coal for Delaware
City and there were towed to Baltimore twenty
boats, eight loaded with coal, eight with lumber,
three with ice and one with wheat. Dealers are
receiving quantities of coal through the Ca
nal, which they are selling at seven dollars per
ton. This looks well for the town; it ought to
improves there is no better location for business,
and no reason why large business could not be

From the Lancaster htelligencer
lFiendishness,

The ladies of Maryland, noted alike
for their intelligence, their refinement
and their beauty, recently got up a fair
for the benefit of the suffering poor of the
South. That there was a great need of
charitable help in that section of our
country is abundautly proven by the
strong appeals which are constantly
coming up for assistance. Within the
last week committee from Northern
Alabama came to the city of Louisville
to solicit aid to prevent white women aud
children from dying of starvation. The
brave Union General Thomas endorsed
the parties and certified to the extended
and absolute restitution which prevailed.
Within the last two days we have
seen in the public prints notices of tho
deaths of white women and children in
the South fromactual starvation. It was
TO relieve such utter and appalling
restitution that the people of Bati-
more, of Maryland, and to considerable
extent of the country at large, contribu.
ted most literally of theirmeans. Some
of the ladies, to their honor and everlast-
ing praise be it said, freely gave their
jewels to relieve those who were in want
of the common necessaries of life.
OF the fair, held for such purposes, we
published brief notice, not over half
dozen lines. For SO doing the Erpress

The FISHERIES. fisheries about Havre de
Grace for the last week have not been doing
much business. The river has been high and
the weather bad. The prospect, however, for
fish is said to be good, and all that is wanting
to make fishing profitable, is falling off of the
current and change in the weather. as expert
enced persons think that there are great many
herring in the head waters of the Chesapeake
Bay, that are only kept back by the current aud
stormy weather.
George W. Barnes caught at Carpenters Point
oil Saturday, at three hauls, three hundred bar
rels of herring. About a week ago the OILERS
were very successful, but for the last few days
have not been doing much. Shad are selling at
from Sls to $40, with fair prospect of reach
ing 1926 per hundred, and herring are bringing
Sl5 per thousand, or about Sc per barrel.

Republican Honesty,

Not long since the conductors of the Washing
ton Chronicle were notified by the State Depart
ment that their paper was no longer needed by
the Government. Whereupon Mr.. Stevens, of
the House of Representatives, offered reso]u-
ton authorizing Mr.. Forney 10 send three copies
of his paper TO each Of our diplomatic, consular
and commercial agents in foreign countries, and
to pay the expenses thereof out of the contingent
fund Of the House. In referring to this resolu-
ton OF Mr.. Stevens, Washington dispatch to
the New York World, says:
cat first sight the sum TO be voted did not
appear to be large J, but by nm examination of
the foreign register just issued by the State De-
partment, it will be found that there are eight
hundred and three diplomatic officers, consular
and commercialagents. Three copies of the sheet
to each of those officers would only involve the
expenditure, per year, Of nineteen thousand two
hundred and seventy-two dollars.'
This is Republican economy, for which the
taxpayers of the land are under obligations to
the negro worshippers Of the nation Mr.. For
ney is to be compensated out of the peoples
pockets for the loss of the patronage of the State
Department Nineteen thousand two hundred
and seventy-two dollars annually, as a recon-
pense to the "'Dead Duck" for quarrclling with
the President and Secretary of Sta tie, is, we
think, pretty liberal allowance for his serv ices
in that behalf .
This resolution did not pass, it is true but it
received strong radical vote, and may at some
other time rnss in different shape. This is
one OF the ten thousand modes adopted by the
Republican party to fleece the people, without
letting them know it. They would have us be-
heve that the sending of the Chronicle to our
agents abroad, was necessity. But this is not
so; it they require newspapers-and we think
the Government should furnish them with a
paper-other more reliable papers can be had
than the Chronicle, whose editor is so warped by
an anxiety for the success Of his party, that
everything that appears in its columns is gotten
up and arranged with a view to this end, with.
out regard to whether it be true or erroneous
This, however, is small matter, and we only
refer to it to show how low the Abolition party
will stoop to advance its own interest.
