Fellows Hall, Westminster, brighten rs
the time approaches. The hearts Of
many, both far and near, have been
opened, andgenerous contributions have
poured in on the Managers. We can
hardly doubt that this interest will con-
tinue, and that the splendid assortment
Of valuable articles will find ready pur-

Fair will equal, if not surpass, any thing
of the Kind ever seen in. Westminster

gy-Mr. Stevens mustered but q small
party in the House yesterday in support
Of his spiteful proposition to prevent
the Executive from appointing any one
to office, for yoar, whom the Senate
has once rejected. Such provision
would be temptation to malice, on the
part Of the Senate, which few adverse
majorities would fail to indulge. The
acknowledgment OF Mr.. Stevens, that il
was designed to punish the supporters
Of the Executive, as well as to put one
side the Incompetent, was sufficient
reason for its rejection. A Congress Of
this great nation should scorn to indulge
in any mere partisan legislation--in any
legislation which is not likely to stand
the approval of impartial history Nat.

THE LEGISLATURES.


On Friday last the Senate repealed
the law providing for an election in
Baltimore City on the 9Th inst, BY a
vote oflsto /, Mr.. Tome Of Cecil only
in the negative, It was sent TO the
House Immediately but the minority
there proved fractious, and three
fourths vote could not be obtained to
suspend the rules to consider it. Con-
sequently it had to lay over till Monday.
The minority were very unreasonable,
protesting that tho law was an Outrage
yet they would not allow it to be re,
pcaled; and finally waited to bargain
their votes for the measure, it the new
Jury law for C,lrroll, Frederick and
Washington counties was abandoned. -
On Monday their aid would not be 70
quired.
The Jury Law above mentioned We
have not yet seen; but think that it
requires the selection of about 300 tax.
able citizens Of each county by the
Judge of the Circuit Court, from which
list the Grand and Petit Jurors are to
be drawn, 1t is opposed bitterly by the
Frederick county Delegates, who would
H
rather let the Sheriff name tho jurors.
Mr. Carmichael gave notice that the
Judiciary Committee had a general bill
Of the kind for the whole State. This
We would prefer, if well considered
bill, as we dislike anything looking
like partial or mere par,izan legislation.
Though the present bill cannot be so
termed in regard to Carroll the Judge
and Sheriff being of the same political
party.
The House on MOaiay, by vote SO
yeas, nays none, passed the bill from the
Senate repeating the act to elect ma
yOr and city council of Baltimore on the
sixth Of February. Therefore no cleo
ton will be held at that time. The
Senate bill to prevent the sale of color
ed couyicts was also passed, and is ebe.
come law. Among other bills passed
was 6na to authorize the commissioners
OF Dorchester county to subscribe to
the stock OF the Dorchester and Della
ware Railroad Company, and another in
relation to the drawing of juries in
Frederick, Washington and Carroll
counties. The resolutions compliment.
tary to the Hon. Reverdy johnson,
United States Senator from Maryland,
were adopted. The committee on cleo.
tons reported in the Allegany county
election cases in favor of admitting Mes.

contestants, in place of Messrs. Gilpiu
and Haller, two of the sitting members
In the Senate, on Msnday, DIR. Bill.
lingslea moved to suspend the rules and
take up the bill to incorporate the West
minister Gas Light Company-Carricd
The bill was then read third time and
passed. Yeas l6, nays 0.
The special order, the bill making an
appropriation for a monument to the
late Chief Justice fancy was taken up.
1t was opposed by DR.. Billingslea, Of
Carroll, in some emphatic remarks
Mr., Davis moved to strike out the name
of Mr. fancy and insert that of Mr..
Chase; and Mr.. Billingslea moved to
insert the name Of Henry Winter Davis
both of which amendments were lost
of course. A motion to give the bill
athird reading was lost--yeas IA nays 5.

rA-T There remain for tho present
session of Congress only twcnty-six
working days, aud the Chairman Of the
House Committee on Appropriations
having failed in his pet political schemes
and been deposed from his absolute
sway, appears to have been suddenly
filed with extraordinary Industry aud
anxiety to push through the necessary
appropriation bills. The consideration
OF these bills, except internal revenue,
will be concluded in the House this
week, but nearly all Of them have yet
mistake their course in the Senate
There will not be much time left for
either House, even with the aid OF night
sessions, to tinker upon political ques-
tons, whether in regard to reconstruc.

the suppression Of the Independence of

Did Markley Murder The
NetyeY EamiIYf

About thirty-six years ago family
by the name of Newey, consisting Of
seven persons aud residing in the ex.
IRENE northwestern section of Freder.
lex County, were murdered and their
houses burned TO the ground. Suspi.
cious we're directed towards man By
the name of Markley, relative Of the
murdered family, who had previously
been heard to indulge in horrible threats
and he was arrested and committed to
Jail for trial, During the progress OF
the trial such mass of circumstantial
evidence was elected as loft no doubt
upon the minds of the Jury of his guilt
and he was accordingly convicted oil
murder in the FIRST degree, and hung
protesting his Innocence on the "a lows
with his last breath.
The Cincinnati Ohio Commercial,
Of January 18th 1867, contains long
statement in reference to this awful
tragedy, from Physician who says he
was recently called to the bedside of a
man who confessed to him that he had
murdered the Ncwey family and that
Markly was innocent Of the crime and
unjustly hung. In our next issue &c
will publish the Doctors statement and
the confession Of the man who declared
himself the murderer Of the Newey fam.

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS The
man who does not read the advertise

said to be well posted. The advertise.

enterprise of the place in which they are
published, but the enterprise Of the ad-
vertiser. When you see man who
advertises literally, you may be certain
of tindiag good stock of goods in his
store, that he keeps up with the mar
ket, and sells cheaper than those who
do not advertise. If you want good
bargains always patronize those who
avail themselves of the advantages af.
fordcd through the advertising columns
