@Mr. Bishop of our county delivered
himself, on Monday, in the House Of
Delegates on the Convention Bill. He was
fearful that change of the constitution
would result in the adoption of negro suf-
frage in this State, in which she Rev. Mr..
TObey coiasided. These gentlemen do not
fear tho adoption Of negro suffrsge-it is
their hearts desire. They know that Con-
gress designs to force negro suffrage upon
this State and they hope to lay the blame
upon the constitution to be adopted. They
know that if their party continues in power
negro suffrage will inevitably come and
they are only preparing tho public mind
for it. Thsir thrcats and fears will not.
however, deter the people of this State
from changing form Of Government. tha.
docs not suit them.

HAGERsrowR BASK.-We publish above the
Statement Of the condition of the IIagerstown
Bank. To the business community, and more
particularly to tho Stockholders of the Bank,
this statement will be gratifying. The capital
of this Institution is one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, l5o, 900, of which, rs We are ad-
vised, near one-fiah is held by tho Bank itself.
The contingent fund is sixty thousand DOLLS
1850, ooo.) 1t thus appears the. a distribu ton
of the contingent f""1a when nude, will make a
DIVIDE. OF nsar fifty per eeatam to stockhol-
dcrs.
We have noticed no such exhibit as this in
any Bank, at any time, anywhere. Ia Bank
located in country town, supported Intinly by
the agricultural interests, unassisted by manuac-
turers, it is certainly remarkable. AMI when it
is considered that twenty years ago, the onc-haf
of tho capital of the Bank Is sunk in bad debts,
it is psntedly more 30. Such results clearly
point to fnancier at the head of tho Bank
whose mind comprehenls the laws Of banking in
oil their details, and extent aut application, aad
are full refutation of all previous calunnies 90

A MELANCHOLY SIGHr.-On Tuesday there ar
rived in this place some half dozen teams
drawn by four and six mules, driven by as many
Freedmen, aud accompanied with posse OF
Government employees. Several of the teams
were loaded with collins standing upright, tents,
and other equipments. The object of this de-
tachment is evidently to disinter the remains OF
the union soldiers who were killed or died and
were buried in this vicinity and convey them for
re-interment TO the National Cemetery at Sharps-
burg. How different their entrance into and
their exit from this town. They came with all
the pomp and circumstance of glorious war;
with gaudy trappings, soul stirring music and
banners flying; they go a shapeless mass OF
mouldering earth encased in rude collins and
unattended by any of these who greeted them in
the day of their glory.
We rather guess they would rest uneasy in
their graves could they but know the efforts
making by a Radical Congress to sever tile Union
which they sacrificed their lives to preserve.

wounds Of our bleeding country were re-
ceived throughout the State of Maryland
with universal acceptance. 1t was the
policy of wise craftsmanship, promoting the
work of patriotism and philanthropy.
The President, in the course of his reply,
said 1t would have been at any time the
highest object of my ambition to tie up
the bleeding arteries which caused the
shedding of so much blood and the ex-
penditure of SO much money. Now, how
ever, in this new era trust we shall have

time ever made in harness in the vicinity
OF New York was Flora Temples, when

that in harness by p seconds. Such ieat
