portunity to discuss and decide upon the
matter. That opportunity will arise dur
ing the coming Fall. The people will
then have had time for consideration and
reflection. and the Board of Commission
ers, then elected, will be able to act in
telligibly aud in conformity with the ex-
pressed wishes Of the electors of the coun-
ty. This is the course which, we think,
should be pursued, and, in advising this.
We are far from expressing any want Of
confidence in the present Board. On the
contrary. should the present Board con-
clude to dispose Of the matter, we are en-
tirely satisfied that they will be actuated
solely by the desire to advance the gene
raj interests of the whole county. In
conclusion we would say. that we are
friends of both the above.named corpora
tions. and hope to see both roads built
and in operation at no very distant day.
But under all the circumstances. and, as
matters now stand, we should deem it in
expedient for the Commissioners to make
q final disposition Of this fund at this
time.

The Oyster Law.

By request of Gov. Bowie. the members
Of 1.-The Oyster Police Board, were con-
vened in Annapolis on Thursday the 18th
instant, attended by the Governor, R.
Fowler. Esq, DR.. Mcpherson and JAS
s. Franklin, Esq, members of the Board.
and Attorney General Jones, and Captain
Davidson. of the Oyster Police. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Jones issued an
opinion some time since, concerning the
right of vessels to dredge for oysters with
in certain rivers Of the State; Mr.. Jones
modified this opinion, stating that it was
gotten up rather hastily, and Capt. David
son was then instructed by the Board, to
seize certain vessels engaged in what was
thought to be violation of our laws, end
charged to carry the officers of said yes
sells before some Judge of the State, by
which means the opinion of the Attorney
will be tested. Capt. D.. was also in
structed to warn all vessels dredging to
refrain from further doing so in disputed
waters until the decision was made known.

Maryland and tho Airline Project.
Hon. Frederick Stone, our faithful Re-
preventative in Congress, has addressed q
letter, Of which the following is q copy,
to Gov. Bowie in relation to the pending
bill for the construction of an airline rail-
road between Washington and New York :
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
February ., 1869.
His ExceIlency ODEN BOWIE,
Dear Sir The House Of Representatives
to-day virtually passed the Airline Railroad
Bill
As usual, the previous question prevented
any of the Maryland. delegation from discus
sing the question except Mr.. Phelps, who OBJ
tanned, as favor, five minutes. I was not
so fortunate.
But since this bill has been introduced !
have examined the question carefully and,
bslisve, dispassionately. and have no doubt
of ito pnconssitutionality. and that the first
spadeful of earth thrown up in making the
road will afford % opportunity to test it be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the United States.
: I suppose the State will take At the proper
time the necessary steps TO obtain the decl-
sion of that court. It seems to me eminently
right and proper that she should do so.

Pardon OF DR.. Mudd.

The pardon of DR.. Mudd is accompa-
MED by report of the Attorney General,
embracing the history of the case. and re-
citing the considerations moving the Ex-
ecutive to grant the same, which are chief
ly that there now appears to be doubts as
to the completely of the said Mudd in the
conspiracy, he only rendering aid by at
tending to the wounds of the chief con-
spirator. that the medical profession have
satisfactorily shown that it was the pro-
fessional duty of said Mudd, as physi-
clan, to attend Booth when called upon ;
and further, that he was very attentive to
the sick at the Dry Tortugas during the
prevalence of yellow fever at that post
last summer, saving the lives Of many Of
6cers and soldiers. It further recites that
bis pardon has been recommended by
thirty-nine Senators and members, over
three hundred officers and soldiers at the
Dry Tortugas, and others.
We learn from the correspondent of the
Sun that the pardon for DR.. Mudd was
placed in the hands of Mrs. Mudd at the
White House on Tuesday. The pardon
will be sent to Florida by messenger and
DR.. Mudd may be expected to return in
the early part of next month.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life, the 7th instant, at her
residence, Bryantown, Charles county, after
short and violent illness, ANNE, consort of
DR.. WIN. j. BoARMAN, in the Goth year of her
age.
In chronicling this sad event, it is hard to
know how to begin or where to end. In COM
memorating the memory of this good and esti-
mable lady the pen must fail to pourtray the
many and solid virtues that beautiied and a.
dorned her character. The almost sudden and
untimely death of the unfortunate subject of
the present notice has spread a gloom of sor-
row over our entire community and oyerwhelm-
ed with intense grief her many devoted friends.
This interesting lady and lovely daughter of
st. Mary's, a few short months ago, came to
reside in our midst-the devoted spouse of an
estinable friend. Just entering on a new Ca
reer, with pleasing prospects strewed around
her, she gave every assurance of q long and
happy life. Gifted with an intellect of no or
binary capacity, beautiied and adorned with
graces which seldom fall in so eminent degree,
she readily won the esteem and admiration of
all, and became the pride and ornament of her
sex. Her face ever wore the smiles of peace :;
her person pleasing, her temper amiable, her
heart kind to all, for she delighted in social in
tercourse and cultivated that pleasure by the
most liberal and unpretending methods. The
company of one SO pleasing and so interesting,
all sought with pleasure, and all left with re-
gret; and how could it have been otherwise
for her charms fell like the dews of heaven,
equally upon all. How sad must be the re-
membrance Of those for whom so much was in
store how painful must the bereavement be
that tears away this beloved parsonage, SO
much like "the sweet-scented rose on dewy
morn, that spreads its fragrance around" But
alas, she has obeyed the summons of the rude
messenger of death and departed; and where ?
The christian faith teaches us, to that paradise
of delights where Abraham lives; where the
Father of goodness and love dwells; where
choirs of angels sing the glory of God and
chant the blessings of Heaven; where roses Of
eternal vardure spring up around her, watered
by the hand of Him who can do no wrong
True, it may be said, her days on earth were
few, but they are numbered in bliss. Accept,
then, good mother, devoted husband, fond
brothers, and admiring friends, though your
hearts are bruised with sadness and sorrow,
the heartfelt coincidence of a sympathizing
community under your present weighty Attic
ton. For it is written, Sic transit gloria mum

General Grants Late Speech.

The following version of the reply of
General Grant to the Congressional Joint
Committee of notification of election, on
Saturday last, is published in the National
Inteutgencer. which says:
General Grant replied to Governor Nor
ton as follows:
81 can promise the committee that it will
be my endeavor to call around me as assls-
tants such men only as think will carry out
the principles which you have said the coun-
try desires to be successful-economy, re-
trenchment, faithful collection Of the revenue
and payment of the public debt. If l should
fail in my first choice, l shall not at any time
hesitate to make second, or even third
trial, with the concurrence of the Senate, who
have the confirming power. l should just as
soon remove one of my own appointees as the
appointee of my predecessor. 1t would make
no difference.
There is one matter that might proper
y speak of here, and that is the selection OF a
Cabinet. have always felt that it would be
rather indicate to announce or even to con-
suit with the gentlemen whom l thought OF
inviting to positions in my Cabinet before the
official declaration of the result Of the election
was made, although l presumed that there
was no doubt about what that declaration
would be. But after consideration l have
come to the conclusion that there is not man
in the country who could be invited to place
in the Cabinet without the friends of some
other gentleman making an effort to secure
the position not that there would be any OBJ
lection to the party named, but that there
would be others whom they had set their
hearts upon having in the place. l can say
that much from the great number of requests
which come to me, 10 writing and otherwise,
for this particular person, or that one, from
different sets and delegations. If announced
in advance, efforts would be made to change
my determination and, therefore, l have
come to the conclusion not to announce whom
am going to invite to seats in the Cabinet
until send in their names to the Senate for
confirmation. If say anything to them a.
bout it, it will certainly not be more than two
or three days previous to sending in their
names. think it well to make public de-
claration of this to the committee, so that my
intentions may be known"

Point Lookout Railway---Letter OF DIR
Morgan.


Point Lookout Railway---Letter OF DR..
Morgan.
Mr.. EDITOR: Feeling as citizen of Wash
ington and property holder should do all
in my power to make Washington self-sup-
porting. and independent, have accepted the
appointment of agent to open books for sub
scription to the Point Lookout Railroad-tle
profits and active duties Of the position have
declined. The road proposed to be built
passes through country seventy-6ve miles
in extent, with the most of which we have
had heretofore no trade or commerce, but
which, geographically considered, should con-
tribute to this city.
The gentlemen who have charge of this
road are men of honor and enterprise, and
are worthy of our confidence. The Corpora
ton and citizens of Washington are now call
ed on to assist in building it, and this be-
lieve we should do to the utmost extent oil
our abilities. There is one point, however
to which think it my duty to call attention
This railroad, if commenced at Point Look
out, may be finished to Brandywine. where il
intersects with the Baltimore and Potomac
Road, and the funds being exhausted, Balti-
more, and not Washington, may receive all
the benefits resulting from its construction
In order to avoid this calamity, and secure
beyond doubt the trade-properly belonging
to US, propose that the subscriptions of our
Corporation and our citizens shall be made
with the proviso that the construction of the
road shall begin at the Washington terminus
or that our money shall be used in building
the road from Brandywine to Washington
If the road is commenced at Washington
each section, as finished, can be made profta'
BILE by at once running cars on it, and thus
opening the country to trade, and affordine
facilities not otherwise attainable for the trans.
portation of the heavy material necessary fol
it's construction. If commenced at the Point
Lookout terminus, it cannot be beneficial OF
profitable until completed to Brandywine Oh
Washington, and it may take several years tt
accomplish that end.

REMARKS.

We entirely concur in the views above ex-
pressed. Baltimore has taken no interest in
any railway south of the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, its capitalists thinking, no
doubt, that the people in Southern Maryland
were bound thrall to it, and should rest con-
tented with the "Erie peanut" and pungy
system.
1t is no proper or just answer by Baltimore
to say, in this regard, that under State laws.
the lower counties can subscribe limited sum
for proposed railway objects. The point as
to the friendliness or unfriendliness of Balti-
more to the counties south of the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railway is as to its prac-
tical action in the premises. Whileit has
done much for railways directly West, North
and Northwest of the city, it never moved a
finger to rescue the counties south Of the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio railway from the
dark night and solitude Of the punsy system
of transportation of passengers and freights
Indeed, when the proposition was before the
Maryland Legislature for the extension of
railway facilities to Washington and to Low
er Maryland, by means of the Baltimore and
Potomac railway. all Baltimore and the Bal
timore and Ohio railway opposed it. Nor
would either now contribute dollar for the
Point Lookout Road, though both have sub
scribed largely and have given their credit icE
railways West and North of Baltimore.
In view of these facts, the lower counties
seek direct communication with Washington,
which is a more advantageous market to them
than Baltimore, except, perhaps, for tobacco
and grain in large quantities.
As matter of course, if Washington sub
scribes largely to the stock of the railway to-
wards Point Lookout, the construction will
begin at the point where there is a market for
the productions of the planters and farmers
on the line of the road. A tree was shoot
at the beginning. The roots made it, and not
the extreme branches.
We understand that the survey of the Point
Lookout route looks to a construction close
alongside of the Baltimore and Potomac rail.
way for half dozen miles from Washington
If this be so, and if there be no practical route
farther South, then it were well, we think
for it to communicate with the Baltimore and
Potomac railway. Our judgment, however
is that said railway and Mr.. Garrett will COM
pete in the end for the possession of the line
IN question.
