For COUNTY PURosEs.- The meeting respect
ing the sale of the Methodist Church building.
last Monday evening, was well attended and con.
siderable sparring occurred between the up,town
aud down7town delegations. Uptown was gen
orally i'll favor of purchasing Peyton's saloon, Tor
county purposes Downtown went for buying the
Church. The vote was in. favor of selling the
Church. Toward aiding in the purchase,of the
saloon building, some 81 900 was subsc ribed to
he paid to the county by the surrender Of county
warrants. Another subscription was signed, pro-
posing to surrender warrants if the church ediGce
was purchased. OF course the surrender Of these
warrants, fprimmedate use, is not of very great
value; but they dimiaish the county debt to.that
extent, and eventually WILDE equivalent to a bo.
rus Of that much money, So whethereitler pro
position is accepted, the county win be a gamer
~in the long run !, = aside from the dminution Of
expenses now constantly running upsfor rent
The Church has one advantage-iI being larger.
and perhaps safer from fire; but the ACQUISITION Of
either Of them will be of advantage to the county.

Improvement in Bel Air.

Quite spirit of improvement seems to
few months. The Methodist Protestant con-
gregation have nearly completed, in the
upper end of the village new and hand
Some parsonage, which adds much to
the appearance of that already pretty part of the
town; and a little further north, on Gordon
street, Mr.. John Holland has in course of cree
ton substantial stone building to which is to
be added front building of much larger dimen-
sons, which will be built of brick. He is also
preparing for the burning of bricks. This, we
are inclined to think, will be profitable, as we
understand that the clay can be easily obtained
and of most excellent quality, and most persons
perferring brick for house building to any other
material, particularly at the present high price
OF lumber, we cannot see why large quanti-
ties of brick could not be sold in this neighbour
hood.
But the most extensive improvement in the
town for some years, is likely to grow out of
the purchase of the corner lot, opposite the hotel
OF MIR. Prigg, by Messrs. II. W. Archer, Stump
and Norris. This lot formerly owned by the
Misses Robinson, fronts on Main street, and is
bounded on the west by wide and roomy alley,
which separates it from the Court House lot
On this alley, we understand, there are 10 be
three commodious offices built of brick. two bv
Messrs. Archer and Stump, and the other by
Archer Fl. Jarrett, Esq, who, we are informed
has secured from the original purchasers a lot
Sufficient for the purpose. Mr.. Allen ]. Prigg
has bought from the present proprietors the cor.
ner lot formed by the intersection of the Court
House alley with Main street. On this lot stands
large frame building used many years ago as
tavern, but of late years as store and dwell
ing house. This house Mr.. Prigg intends, as
we understand, TO greatly improve re-arrange
and thoroughly repair, to be used again as a
dwelling house and hotel. The carpenters and
masons are already at work, tearing up floors,
taking down the old cumbersome chimneys, re-
moving partitions and altering stairways, with
view to convenience and modernzation.
On the lot adjoining Mr.. Prigg, on Main street,
we are informed that Mr.. Charles Norris intends
erecting commodious store house.
These improvements will add greatly to the
appearance of the town, besides increasing the
value OF town property generally. A few more
enterprises of this sort, and the man who pro-
nounced the town of Bel Air finished, will no
longer be considered reliable prophet. With
in the last year Mr.. James Reed has completed,
in the western end of the village, quite conve-
nient and handsome residence, and arranged the
grounds around it with SO much taste, that it
gives the place an air of convenience not always
met with.

N egro Outrages.

The newspapers throughout the country are
filed daily with negro violations of law, many
of which are of the most revolving and disgust
ing character, yet we scarcely hear word of
condemnation from the Republican press. This
was not formerly so, although there were vast
number of free negroes in the country. They ap-
peared then to have some respect for law and
dread ofpunishment but in these days of negro
worshipping, they have given themselves up to
crimes and offences Of every grade and charac-
Ter. No sensible man can mistake the causes
which have brought about this change. They
are weak people and easily led estray have
no idea of freedom, beyond idleness totally in
capable Of compromising their present cond-
ton, and, therefore, the half at least of the often
ces committed by them is the result of the vile
and debased teachings of the Abolition party OF
the country. The negro who is taught to be-
lieve himself the equal of the white man, does
not comprehend the meaning of the term, and
at once sets to work to demonstrate it by the
most lawless outrages and TO shield him from
just and proper punishment, we have Civil
Rights bills, and Freedmen's Bureau put in
operation. why negroes cannot be tried under
the State laws for ordinary offences, as white
people are, can only be told, we suppose, by the
'loyal." A white man. may be arrested and
continue confined in Jail for months or years,
and nothing is thought of it by the party of
"great moral IDEAS" No effort is made to re-
lieve him but if Sambo is disturbed in any
manner whatever, no matter with what offence
he may be charged, the whole Abolition pack
are shocked by the outrage, as they term it,
Why, say they, he is only suspected. Well,
would they have him go at large until his
guilt is established This is not the way that
white men are treated. We do not wait for the
establishment of their guilt, but keep them in
Jail or under bond until the court and jury de-
termine this question; and we never knew until
the Aboltionists got into power that the ne
gro ought to be treated in any other way. We
have no disposition to trample upon any ofSam-
DOS rights but we never did believe that he
Is better than the white man, Notwithstanding
the teachings of the Abolition party and their
press to the contrary.
