Hitherto Montgomery county, Maryland, has
stood staunehly by the Baltimore and Ohio
Raliroad Company, and her delegation in the
State Legislature have always osen found
voting IN the interest of that great monopoly.
But late developments In that county indicate
mat the people Of that part OF Maryland are
beginning TO learn that their interests And
those OF the railroad monopoly lie in opposite
directions. Al the Montgomery county (Md)
democratic Convention, a few days since. ths
following resolution was offered by Robert w.
Carter
heS0trsd- That we, the represen tatlves of the
cemocratlc conservative party of Montgomery
county, ID convention assem- bled, do most en-
pbant ally declare our opposition to the elec-
lion OF Robert Fowler as Treasurer OF Mary
land, and do hereby instruct our candidates for
Inc Senate and House of Delegates this day
nominated Cif elected) to vote against his re-
eiectlop.
The following amendment was offered by
Dr. L. Wootion: -
And that they be instructed TO vote against
aIy other person IN the interest OF the BaIti-
more and OHIO railroad, or any other incorpo-
rated body"
The above resoIutio,, as amen ded, was unan.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.

The question Of the mode Of raising funds to
carry out the International Efposition came
mp at the meeting of the General Com mittee ON
uesday night, and it was decided, very nearly
unanimously, that the most direct and effective
means was by tax upon the property to be
benefited by the Fair. 1t was pointed out that
while some property holders might be public
spirited enough to contribute handsomely to
The object, that large numbers who would be
Equally benefited would not subscribe penny
The proposed tax will not fall heavily upon
property holders, and the returns must be sure
In one shape or another, either in the impulse
given TO business and the permanent advance

OF direct dividend from profits realized
is beet that We should enter upon this un.

The Chronicle, on this matter, says with much
IoTnt
"Suppose each inbabitant Of Washington
were eq ually possessed Of property, he or she
would have $500 IN value, the entire valuation
OF property being $S0,w0,OO0. Suppose the
sOsO were In money and in the pocket OF each
