Az IMPORTANT AsxouNCENYST.-As
public meeting at Mr. u. T. Spaldings
Store in Oakville district on Saturday
last, the announcement was made BY one
Of the Speakers Mr.. Maddox that
million ofths S.cck ofthe Southern Wary
land Railroad had been subscribed and
that the. Q rer cent. bonus on this amount
had already h-en paid in "a required ny
law. Mr.. MADDOX, we learn for we
were not present at the mecting-accom
ranicd this statement with the declaration.
that lie was lust from meeting Of the
corpo-ators at Charlotte Hall and had
been authorized BY them 20 make this
announcement to the public The good
news was. Of course, warmly welcomed
nv the audience in attendance and soon
spread to the other districts, reaching our
village about night. The general feel
ing Of jollifcation here may be imagined,
but there were still some grey-beards who
shrugged their shoulders, shook their wise
head. and were ominously silent. We
confess to have been one Of the latter fac
iion. The truth is, q somewhat wide ex-
nerience had taught US to receive with
suspicion all exciting announcements when
made in the midst CT an infamed partizsB
canvass. and so, for the time, we made
common cause with the small and vener-
able party ofdoubt and incredulity. The
battle waxed fierce and hot, but, though
outnumbered, we fought the enemy "tiil
our cve-lids would no LONGER wag' and
finally retreated from the field with our
distrust and suspicion still intact. And
upon these arms, we rested for the night.
To come down to plain talking, we saw
Mr.. Maddox in the morning and asked
him to give his authority for the state
rncnt he had made at Spalding's St"re on
the previous evening. He presented US
paper signed by Col. John D. Bowling,
of Prince Georges, Major Gardiner, of
Charles, and other gentlemen. well known,
to us, and there it was, in black and
white. over the genuine signatures ofthese
gentlemen, rst, that million ofthe stock
Of the Southern Maryland Railroad had
been subscribed, and 2ndly, that the 2
per cent. bonus, $50, O00), a, required
by law on this amount, had already been
paid in.

committed BY negro man upon the per-
son Of IN amisbic ana accomplished young
lady in the county ofPrince Georges and
also Of the fearful and summary vengeance
taken upon the preparation by body If

fact Of this lawlessness on The part of the
followers Of Judge Lynch being commu-
nicated to the Circuit Court ofPrince Geor
pe's then and now in session, JUICE Ford
addressed the Grand Jury. as follows;
The Court this morning learned Of an
&C. of violence committed in this county.
which no law-abiding citizen can look
upon with favor. In tie State of Mary
land our Courts are open. and law Is here
supreme and no matter how heinous the
crime. this tribunal c'n never sanction It's
punishment by violence and mohs. The
supremacy os the law shall be fully vim
Dictated whilst we have seats upon this
bench. Under your oa'hs. gentlemen,
it becomes your duty to investigate tits
matter fully and fairly. 1t is your sworn
duty to bring these offenders to punish
ment, if you can possibly ascertain who
thsy are and trust yOu will spare no
e1ertion in the investigation Of this mat
ter.
The Prince Georgian, of the 18th in
slant, remarkinc upon the action Of the
mob in this case aud the usurpations of
the functions of Court and Jury which it
involved, speaks as follows:
Whilst it Is always desirable that the
law should be allowed to take its course
the circumstances Of this case justify as
fully as any could, the action Of the com
munity The treatment Of this young
lady was Of the most brutal character
She was bad Y beaten, aud the scene OF
the conflict shows that her struggles must
have been almost superhuman. The evil
dence of one of the negroes goes to prove
that the attack was fully premcditatcd,
and had been alluded to some weeks pre-
vous The guilt Of the criminal was es-
tablished beyond all doubt, and although
it would have been better to have allow

of remorse, yet his punishment cannot be
deemed other than most just.

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.-One of the
evils of our day is the active interference
Of the Federal Government in State-elec-
tons It Is humiliating spectacle to
witness, and augurs badly for the future
of our country. Ifthe American people
were properly alive to what right and
duty demand of our rulers, they would,
without respect to party. condemn the
active interference of the President in
any State-election. and would administer
a deserved rchuke to any Cabinet-ofhcer
who might abandon the true sphere of
his duties to write letters or make stump
speeches in favor of any candidate for a
State Office
We have seen this done most extern
sively since Grant came into office. The
members of his Cabinet interfered active
" in behalf of Wells in Virginia, Stokes
in Tennessee. and Geary in Pennsylvania !;
and now they are writing and using all
the power at their command in favor of
certain candidates in Texas and Missis-
sippi This is all wrong. We say so.

from a sincere conviction Of the truth Of
what We utter and We believe a majori-

party will agree that there ought to be
an end of it. The fault lies not in choos-
ing Stokes instead Of Senter, or Geary
instead of Packer, but i'll making any
such choice, when the weight ofhigh off,
cial authority is to be cast into the scale,
aud the President of a great people, with
his Cabinet at his back, is to plead at the
hustings. threatened in the ear of every
national ofice-h holder, and pledges his pa

We were inluc=d to try what virtue there

this we garglcd the throat most efectnal-
