Stump, Jr., Chairman, and Geo. L. VanBib-
Der Secretary.
The proceedings of the previous meetings
at Bel Air, Long Green and Towsontown
were read and adopted.
The committee of which Col j. c. Walsh is
chairman, submitted the following report,
which was adopted:
At meeting ofthe citizens of Hartford and
Baltimore counties, held on the 18th of May,
in Bel Air, the undersigned were appointed
Il committee for the purpose of comforting
with any and all parties who might be dis
posed to aid and assist in the construction of
u railroad between the cities of Baltimore
and Philadelphia, free from any connections
that might interfere with that independent
course which is so necessary to insure that
its operations should tend to properly devel-
OPP all the resources of the country through
which it might pass, by granting all proper IA
cilitics, such ms comfortable and secure cars for
the transportation of passengers and freight
stations established at convenient points, not
to favor particular individuals or interests, but
for the benefit of the greater number, and by
such rates of charge upon freight and passen-
onerous and oppressive to the community
but be assessed in liberal and undiscrimina-
tive spirit, The committee thus appointed
have, during the time allowed them, diligent-
ly and to the best of their ability, attempted
to discharge the duty assigned them, and it
is with great pleasure they are enabled to re-
port that the most satisfactory encourage
inent has been received from sources both
willing and able, in the highest degree, to
assist in the great work which has been in
auguratcd by enterprising and patriotic cii-
zens of Hartford and Baltimore counties, the
connecting of the cities of Baltimore and
Philadelphia by railroad, passing in. its

For the -lEgis and Hstelligencor,
Church IsusiC.

There can be no valid excuse for the
lack of good music as part OF public wor-
ship in our churches. In almost every
congregation there can be found sufficient
number of good voices, partially trained
at least, to form good choir. 1t is equal
ly certain that steady, persistent course
in the right direction will result in in
creasing the efficiency of the choir, and
rendering it the teacher OF the congrega-
ton, SO that the final result shall be u tull,
swelling tide of song-combining sweet
ness power and harmony, such as will
make this the most delightful feature in
social and public worship. We need not
sacrifice piety to art, nor seek the aid OF
the opera or concert-room.
We have but simply to use the talent in
our churches, in a wise, Christian way, and
drive out with alacrity the lazy, droning,
uncdltured, haphazard style which igno-
rance or prejudice has stamped as evan
gelical. Discord, bad taste, incorrect time
and antediluvian tunes are not infallible
indexes of spirituality in song. Fresh
ness, harmony, vigor life, should charac-
terize all public praise.
1t will warm the heart and inspire the
the tongue Of the preacher, and kindle the
attention of the waiting assembly.

The Federal appointments In
.W0ryIanN.

Since President Grant has been installed
as Chief Magistrate, things have not gone as
smoothly with the party in power as was at
first anticipated. The policy of the admins
tration towards the Southern States was
common ground, of course, upon which en-
tire unity of feeling and action were secured
in advance; but "great expectations" have
been disappointed in other matters that
seem to be considered of much Importance
Some of the prominent members of the
party in Maryland are greatly exercised,
according to the correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, about the Federal appoint
ments in this State The correspondent re-
ferred to says:
"Some prominent republicans of Baltimore
called on the President last Monday, 10 talk
over the federal appointments in that city and
in the State of Maryland They represented
that grave mistakes had been made in the Sc
lection of officers, and complained that Post
master General Creswell had been permitted
to have controlling voice in filling treasury
and revenue offices, when he should have
confined his potential influence exclusively
to the Postoffice Department.
"Fhey represent that all of the original
radical element of the Bond type have been
ignored in the disposition of federal patron
age that whilst they should have been
strengthened and sustained, they have been
left out in the cold. They also deprecated
the sort of family ring distribution of offices
in Baltimore A general criticism of the
Maryland appointments followed General
Grant seemed surprised'at the fncts elected,

proposed to do about it.
That the usual number of disappointed as
pirants for place ana position should make
audible complaints, is distressing" perhaps,
but natural" withal but here seems to be
deeper feeling of discontent displayed than
is altogether compatible with the continuance
of united party in this State. The truth
is that the present reticent Chief Magistrate
"moves in a mysterious way" to accomplish
his ends, and his friends are greatly exercised
thereat, not knowing with certainty, from
what little he says, how to base any sure
calculations upon what he will do. That he
should have committed the Federal patron
age in Maryland into the hands of Postmas,
ter General CresyslL the leader of faction
only in his own party, is surely not calculated
to unite again the discordant elements

MEssRs. EDITORS: Our town is very
dull at this time, nothing having occurred
to awake us from the apathy Of the hard
times.
There are u number of nice little cot
tages now for rent, suitable for summer
residences, and which are much cheaper,
and will pay better both in pocket and
convenience, than trip to the fashionable
resorts. Merchants and Others living in
Baltimore, can come up every evening, at
o'clock, and return at o'clock, arriving
in the city at o'clock, thereby losing no
time from business. A merchant in Phila-
delphia has taken cottage for his family
during the hot months. The scenery here
is very fine, and the river abounds with
fish and these together with the beauti-
full walks and drives, add to the pleasure
and quiet Of the place for inyalida. This
