Under Abatement.

The United States Senate still holds the
case Of Mr.. Philip +. Thomas under advise
ment, and the friends of His Excellcncy
Mr. Thomas Swami, are in hopes that Mr.
Thomas will be rejected The grounds
against Mr.. Thomas taking his scat are dis
loyalty. The same charge might be urged
| against Swami, with the addition of rascal
ity. The strong point against Mr.. Thomas
is that his son loft the State and entered the
! rebel army, and his father supplied him with
| money. 1t is proved, however, that Mr..
| Thomas opposed his sons going and tried
to dissuade him rom his purpose, but finding
! that he (the SOM was fixed aud unaterablc
in his determination, he gave him some
money to supply his immediate wants, and
On this ground the United States Senate, il
is probable, VIII DECIDE against Mr.. Thomas
taking his seat in that body.
Congress ought at least to act consistently
in this matter Of loyalty, and have some es-
tablished principle laid down by which the
whole matter should be governed. The
Representative in the other House from this
Congressional District, stands exactly in the
same predicamont of Mr. Thomas. Mr.
Thomas and Mr.. Mccullough, the former
denied seat in the Senate and the other
occupying his place in the House, boz. most
certainly represent the party in possession
Of the government of Maryland, and ac-
cording to common sense, as we'll as prece
dent, Mr.. Thomas should be allowed to take
his seat in the Senate, as Mr.. Mccullough
has been in the House, without question or
hindrance.
1t has been demonstrated to Congress.
and we presume that there is not Repub.
lican member in either House that doubts
the fact, that the government of Maryland
is not Republican in form. And it strikes
us, as it does every loyal man not corrupted
by the faint of Copperheadsm, that in place
of denying the Representatives seat in the
National Legislature, which are chosen by
the party that is allowed to control the State
of Maryland by rebel government, it would
be much wiser, and more to the purpose, to
do their duty in the premises, by guarantee
ing to the State Republican form of gov
eminent. The men who represent the party
in power in a Safe have universally repre-.
scented the State in Congress. And on this
principle Mr.. Thomas should be at once ad.
mitted to his seat in the United States Sen.
ate. The rebel government of Maryland
cannot be represented at all If it is not rep.
resented by men holding rebel sentiments
IF Congress would do its duty it would guar.
antee this State Union and Republican
government, and then no dsloyal men would
be sent from Maryland to Congress.

The Post Again.

The Baltimore Post, inls issue Of Monday
last, charges the wig with an attempt to
annihilate US" This is an entire misappre.
hension on the side of the Post We don't
wish to anticipate that event, nor to insinu.
ate that the Post is not self sustaining: but
in order that its arguments may be proper.
ly appreciated we predict that it will suspend
when Mr.. Chace's chances for the Presi
dental nomination by the Republican party,
become hopeless, which must soon be an.
parent even to its obscure vision. Every
well wisher Of his country who is an impar.
tial observer Of political events is satisfied
Of this fact already. Judge Chase and Judge
Bond are both true and earnest Republicans
and would administer the Offices of Presi
dent and Vice President the United States
with ability, and with integrity to the party
but they haven't a ghost of chance of
being nominated. Then why should the
Post grow angry over what the faes have
decided against its wishes, unless its eaist.
cnce be involved in the issue?
While we admit the ability and purity Of
the Posts favorites for the two highest off
ces in the gift of the people, we claim an
equal show of justice on its part for the can.
didates of our choice, General Grant and
Hon. j. a. j. Craswell. They are Ra least
equal in ability and have proved as unswerv.
ing in their adherence to Republican prin
ciples as the former named gentlemen
We do not presume that our CHASING Judge
Bond as a Chase man will either "1niure
him" or edo HIM more good than harm in
and out side of Maryland as the Post pre-
diets. We simply classed him Chase man,
because the Post, a Chase paper, virtually
selected the Judge as its choice for the sec.
ond Office in the nation. If the Judge sus-
tains injury by being placed in that position
he must blame the Post for it.
When the Nbsi inyokos the mantle of the
lamented Winter Davis to cover il and its
little party, we would remind it that John
A. j. Creswell was the tried and bosom
friend of that great man. The charge made
by the Post Of ''rngs, cliques and conspira-
cies'' on the part of 'the Wig and Ameri-
can," is simply very weak SANDER, like
the bulk Of its two illtempered articles; and
not being called upon TO "answer the cpl.
thets and nvectives of the refined HAig,"
it might proAtably be employed In wedding
its own of those Objectionable features; and
when in future it attempts to advocate the
claims of any candidate within the Repub.
lican fold to the Office of President or Vice
President let 1t not initiate the rebel sheets
in abuse Of leading Republicans Of the copn.
try. 1t will find such course the very
worst passport to public favor.

ESCAPED FROM JAIL. -Frederick Anbault,
convicted of larceny at TIE present term of
the Circuit Court, and re-comnitted to Jail
to await sentence. concluded 1t was best TO
seek lodgings elsewhere. With that convic-
ton strong on his mind, on Saturday even
ing last, about eight o'clock, he picked a
hole through the ceiling of the apartment
which was no very difficult matter, the wood
work being rotten-and by the aperture
made his way into the story above. Here
being free from locks and bars, be walked
down the stairs, and jumping out of win
dow, cleared himself. Anhaut was seen on
Sunday by one of the jurymen who convict
ed him, heading for Hartford county, from
whence he came. That famous old Jail OF
ours has more places of egress than ngress.

Hon. J. A. .. CresWeFl and the
Vice Presidency.


We are gratifed to notice very general
expressian on the part of the Republican
press of Maryland, of the high estimation in
which the Hon. John a. j. Creswell is held.
AS the antagonist, in a national point of
view, OF Governor Swami, they are as earn
est in applauding the consistency and politi.
cal probily Of this able, eloquent, faithful
and devoted Republican statesman of Mary
land as they are in denouncing the false and
unenviable position attained by his Excel
lency. Whilst Mr.. Creswell cast aside the
high honor OF a seat in the United States
Senate IN devotion to principal, his guber-
material antagonist deserted and BETRAYED
prlnciple and party in an unholy crusade
for The attainment of a seat in that body
Mr.. Creswell retired with honor and respect
of both friends and opponents from the posi-
ton he had filled with so much ability and
dignity, and with political record that has
endeared him not only to the Republicans
OF the State, but which has given him ma
tional reputation. Governor Swami, on the
other hand, cast aside by those who profted
by his reasonable ambition, will retire to
private life as unworthy of the political con-
lidence Of either those whom he betrayed or
those who proiited by his treason.
There is no doubt that the name of Mr.
CiSoN'ii WIN NC pEcSeHltu 10 lne NatlOuat
Republican Convention, to assemble at
Chicago in May, as the unanimous choice
of Maryland for the Vice Pre- sidency. There
is also good reason to hope that Delaware,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and
Tennessee will cheerfully support Mr.. Cres
well as the candidate of what was formerly
known as the Border States. They will at
least honor him with vote in recognition
Of the estimation in which they hold him as
statesman of a former slave State who
was one OF the original advocates of eman-
cipation in Maryland, and who has been
firm and consistent IN the hour of trial, and
has cast aside personal considerations in
recognition of the great and enduring prin-
clples OF the Republican party ofthe Nation.
1t seems to be conceded that General
Grant will be nominated by acclamation for
the Presidency. This result will induce the
selection of candidate for the Vice pres.
dency from one Of the Atlantic States, of
watch Maryland may be considered as one,
an among the distinguished names from
that section that will be presented to the
Convention none will be able to show a
clearer record than Mr.. Creswell-or ore
that gives stronger assurance of consistency
| and reliability in the future, as it has been
clear and bright and undimmed by a single
cloud in the past.
We therefore to day place at our editorial
head under the name Of General Grant,
that of Maryland S fayorite son-the Hon.
John A. j. Creswell-for the Vice presi,
dency, subject to the decision ofthe Nation
al Republican Convention. Many of the
Republican papers of the State have already
taken the lead Of us in this movement, but
we are sure that none will give to him a
more hearty SuuDDrt pr hail with ,,,a,. M,

The ScHooLs.--In last weeks Wig We
published a notice from the President of the
School Board for this county, f. A. Ellis.
Esq, that the Public Schools of the county
would close with the present term, which
expires to-day, In that statement the Pres.
idcnt says
THE law authorizing q county tax fol
school purposes having expired on the Isl
OF January, 1867, by limitation of the Act
OF 1868, and the last Legislature having fail.
cd to give us the needed legislation to secure
revival OF the tax, we have been confined
to our dlstrlbutve share of the State tax and
the free school fund of the State" &c.
This tells the whole story of the Demo.
cratic policy with regard to system of Pub
lie Schools. The Demo-we mean the
Conservative Legislature of 1867 refused
to continue the law empowering the County
Commissioners Of this county to levy a tax
sufficient to support the schools, the Board
OF Education was confined to the State an.
preparation for that purpose, which is ex.
hausted with the session that expires to. day.
A tax of five cents on the 500 in the county
would have sufticed to keep the schools open
through the winter months, and perhaps till
Mays and thus afforded means of educa.
ton to many children who are compelled to
depend mainly on the winter months for
schooling.
The present Constitution abolshes the
school law, and in case new system is
originated, it will be impossible to put it in
operation for year, the power to levy and
collect tax for school purposes having been
repealed by the Legislature of 81, it could
not be restored and 60 into operation before
the levy and collections of the next fiscal
year, which cuts the children of this county
out of years schooling by the public sys,
TEN, and forces all who would educate their
children to resort to subscription schools
The evil extends to the teachers, also. and
will, by this interruption in the Public School
system Of the State, tend to break up and
disperse the efficient corps of teachers which
was organized under the present school law.
number of young ladies will be thrown
out oil employment as teachers by the wal
which the present party in power have waged
upon tho Public Schools.
Many of the fathers of those young ladies
voted to elevate to power the party whose
acts virtually take the bread out of their
children's mouths. Will they continue thus
to vote in the future or will they pause and
consider?

A HOME FOR EVERY LABoRIYG MAN. By
the report Of the proceedings of the Build.
ing Society about being established in Elk
ton, the indications are that it will be in sue
cessful operation in a short time. About
400 shares have been subscribed, and the
Society expect to be in condition, in u
short time, to advertise money for loan. A
share is represented by the payment of one
dollar monthly, and a member is entitled to
borrow $500 for each share he represents
Thus by the payment Of monthly install.
ments with the interest upon the money
loaned and bonuses, the Society at the end
Of term of years, will have accumulated
enough money to represent 5000 per share
subscribed. A laboring man who wishes to
provide comfortable home for himself, by
building residence, buying one, or paying
OFF debt on a house already purchased, by
subscribing for five shares, which will cost
him SIS per month, he can borrow from the
Association $1,000, and by paying his month.
ly installments, together with the interest on
the money borrowed, at the end of ten years
the payments will cease, the debt be liqu.
dated, and he will have his property clear.
If the laboring men ever expect to enjoy
comfortable homes, unencumbered by an
nual rents, and the inconvenience which
falls to the lot of most renters, they must
own their homes, and but mparatively few
are able to do so, unless by the aid OF a
Building Society, We advise every man in
the town Or neighborhood, who wishes to
enjoy home OF his own, and who is not
able to purchase one, to join the Building
Society now being started. The Bylaws
and regulations of the Association are fran,
| ed so as to guard the interests Of the weak
against the strong, and insure every member
al equal chance. There will be another
meeting Of the Society at the Court House
to night. Every man who feels an interest
in the enterprise is invited to attend.

DlsAPPEARANcE.-All search for Mr.. Geo.
Booth, who left home on Tuesday week. has
proved, up to this time, fruitless. The sup.
position is that he has strayed away out of
the neighborhood, while suffering under an
habitua fit of melancholy. He was thick,
set, rather short man, with STOPPING gait
about 40 years of age. His family are in
deep sorrow ON account of his mysterious
disappearance, and any information leading
to his whereabouts would be a source of
great relief to his afflicted wife. Mr. Booth
lived on the Lord Factory property, about
three or four miles from this town.
