ATTEND THE MEETING NEXT TUESDAY,
1t will be noticed that the adjourned meeting
of the County Agricultural Society is to be
held at this place on Tuesday, the 9th inst,
instead of Wednesday, the 1Oth-the day first
named The report of the committee appoin-
ted at the last meeting to propose a plan of
organization, is to be submitted to the
meeting on next Tuesday, and other impor
tant business will come before it for consid-
Grafton. Its action will probably determine
whether the scheme is to be carried to sue
cessful issue or not and we therefore suggest
to the people Of the county to make note
of it, and let all who feel interested in the
enterprise be present on the occasion. We
have already suggested some of the advanta-
ges to accrue from the success of this under
taking, and we are more than ever convin-
ced of its practicability, if only taken hold
Of with that hearty interest and determination
which are requisite to ensure SUCCESS in any
enterprise of the kind. The Circuit Court
will also be in session here on the day of che
meeting, and large attendance from all sec
tons of the county is anticipated

JOHN FL. SURRATT.-John FL. Surratt is
about publishing full and faithful history
of his connection with the Lincoln assassi-
nation. He denies all knowledge of the as
sassination, for his mother as well as him
self. A Washington letter-writer, in speak
Ing of the forthcoming book, says
1t is said that John e. Surratt, in his forth
coming history of the conspiracy which re-
suited in the death Of President Lincoln, de-
mics all knowledge of any assassination plot,
but confesses freely that Booth and himself
and others were in plot to abduct Mr.. Lin
coin. He declares that assassination was
never spoken of to him, and was never agreed
on by Booth and Payne until the night it
took place. He further insists on the entire
innocence ofbis mother, maintains that every
effort was made to keep the abduction rlut
from her knowledge, and says she was I'M
ply the victim of unfortunate crcunisl alicls
and the Vaccination of the witness WEIGH
man, whose evidence, it will be remembered,
caused Mrs Surratt's conviction Surratt
proposes to tell everything he knows the
good, bad and Indifferent and make oath to it,

The .MaryIa,Id LeStssafgre,
The Baltimore San says |:

rThe press throughout the State Is very,
generally taking decided ground against the
calling Of an extra session ofthe Legislature.
This is also our experienced, The press, as
far as we have observed, is strongly against
the call for an extra session. The Legisla-
ture never should be convened at any other
time than its regular sessions, If it can be
avoided. Nothing but themost urgent neces-
sity viii Justify different course. The only,
or at least the principal reason now urged
to induce the Governor to convene the Leg
islature in extraordinary session, Is to enable
the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore to
improve Jones Falls, so as to avoid the dis
asters of any further floods or freshcts in
that stream. Now the City Council have
not yet determined upon what Legislation
they need; and certainly there isno necessity
of converting the Legislature until they do
determine upon some plan, SO that that
body, when it does meet, should have some
thing definite to act upon. But it is held by
well informed people that the City Council
can act without the aid of the Legislature;
and this perhaps is true. AT any rate, it
would, in our judgment, be folly to convene
the State Legislature especially to provide
laws under which the City Council of Balti-
more may act, without first requiring that
their wants should be made known. The
Legislature might wait at Annapolis, at a
heavy expense to the State for months,
before the people and City Council of Balti-
more would or could determine upon what
legislation they most need. II is not preten-
ded, we believe, that any other interest in the
State demands the immediate assembling of
the Legislature, and it is very questionable
therefore, whether there is any legislation so
urgently necessary at this moment, as to jus
tify the converting of the Legislature before
itsregular time for meeting next winter:

1--WE have learned" said a journal few
days ago, "that . certain knot Of politicians
have determined 10 kill this paper" The
funny one, but probably 1t was one OF terri.
BILE import and Significance to the personal
friends Of the politicians" who had set be-
fore them this rather difficult task. It was
the old story. The paper had brought these
potent percentages into life and notoriety and
having done so had dared to crticlzs, posi-
bly, to offend them. Hence their terrible
threat. Nothing less than the utter annlhl,
latlon Of dozen editors and reporters; the
destruction Of valuable typo and presses;
the total disappearance Of paper, printers,
advertisers, office boys and all-can appease
their wrath.
The time has passed forever when the
public Journal, II 1t is at all worthy the
| name, Is the mere organ Of the politician
| aud the placeman. Newspapers have been
emanclpated from the thraldom of other
years. Official patronage and support, the
truly great and independent Journal can
better afford In these days OF steam and
electricity to do without than to have. The
Journalist no longer sits In the ante-rooms
Of rulers and ministers to solicit fayors Of
money or OF intelligence. The press has
now representatives In foreign capitals,
ADLER and more competent than those who
hold Government commissions. In resources
1t Is lmltless; 1t has within q quarter Of a
century Issued Its Independence declaration,
and seryitude cannot again be imposed on 1t.
The journalist Ia no longer the slave Of the
politician. He wears no collar he 10 fast
ened by no chain OF steel or cord of silk TO
bark and bite when his keeper lIsteth. II
there are any journalists of this character,
We know them not. The true newspaper
man has found out that the power Is outside
the caucus ring and not within II. There Is
the constituency and the support.
We were not surprised tosee the announce
ment which we quoted In the beginning OF
this article. The struggle lies between the
journalist and the politician, and we clearly
foresee who will conquer. AL the talk that
we hear and read about corrupt editors"
"depraved Journalism" and so forth, Is
merely the political filth flung at the paper
| which cannot be "used" to forward special
Interests. The impudence Of these men pratt
Ing about newspaper corruption Is amusing
when 1t Is recollected how they have gained
their little positlons-through the mre of the
| lobby and the pollution OF the caucus. Sue
cess In politics 10 no longer the stamp of
merit, except In q few rare Instances. Il il
rather an official certificate that one man ia
a greater, sharper, and more expert knave
than his competitors. And thus may be
fitly characterized the men who are now en-
deayoring "to kill" a certain newspaper
