Passing Away.

One BY one the old landmarks of the city
have passed away uuder the march of improve
ment, but there is one now being RACED which,
In the earlier days of Baltimore town, oc-
cupied prominent position. The old build
ing at the corner of Grant and Mercer streets,
known after Revolutionary days as the WASH
ington Hotel, will, after a few days, have
entirely disappeared There is no data from
which to reach the time of it's construction,
but in 1852 it was the only hotel of Baltimore
town, and the headquarters of all the great
men of the country who stopped in the then
village. Il was built near the river shore,
and in that day was considered frst-class
hotel. During the Revolutionary war it was
the headquarters of General Washington
when he was in Baltimore, and of the chief
men of the then struggling colonies. For
years after it continued as a house of public
entertainment, but the city grew it was not
equal to the age, and about the beginning of
the present century it became house of only
ordinary pretensions. In 1915 it was still a
hotel, but its former prestige had passed away
Subsequent to that period it was used for
various REPRESENTATIVES, as factory and
again as dwelling house. For years past it
has been an abode of poverty, and scenes of
squalid wretchedness, have frequently called
the police to look after its inmates. and pro-
vide them with more comfortable home in
the almshouse. A few days since, in one of
its crevices, copy of the Baltimore Patriot,
printed in the latter part of April, 1915, was
found, which contained a report of the battle
of New Orleans and history of the defeat
of the forces. of fhe British commander,
Packenham, by General Andrew Jackson
For more than twenty years past the old
building has been but wreck, but the spirit
of improvement has reached its locality, and
il must now give place to one adapted to bust.

Butler and Spotless Purity.

Poor Butlerl Miserable creature, he is
wounded even in the house of his friends
The St. Louis Democrat, one of the leading
Radical papers of the West, in an article un>
der the above heading, concludes as follows
The time has not yet come when the Re-
publican party can afford to exclude = menu
Der from the House because of its past con-
duct in other relations, for, were that pre-
cedent established, General Butler himself
and several other members might have to pass
a severe scrutiny. Of the conduct of man
while member of the House it is the duty
of that body to take cognizance. Butitwould
hardly answer, in times when the control and
organization of the House might depend upon
few members of either party, to permit any
man to exclude any other man from share
in the organization by changes of past mis-
conduct, and to require court to try all the
accusations which have been made against
General Butler, for example, before he could
take his seat. Perhaps the most ridiculous
thing he has ever done is this attempt of Cen
eral Butler-of all men in the world-to set
up precedent so impracticable and absurd
About Conner we know nothing. Shanks
says he Ii worthless fellow, and he seems to
be. Others say he is scamp, and the Para
disc OF runaway scalawags from all parts of the
country. But if all the charges against him
arc true to the letter, it should at least be re-
membered that General Butler and John
Morrissey are also members.

Negroes of Tennessee Oppose Recon-
struction.


The negroes of Tennessee unite with the
whites in opposing the reconstruction of that
State by Congress. On the 3Oth of March
the various ministers of the colored churches
of Nashville, constituting the Preachers
Union Association, held meeting and con-
sidered the subject. The following is the
substance of the resolutions adopted =
In view of the unsettled condition of affairs,
and in view of the nature and importance of
their calling, they felt themselves imperatively
called upon to raise their voices in behalf of
peace, knowing, as they did, that their work
was greatly burdened with present and antici-
pated troubles. They believe that if the
State government of Tennessee is overthroWn,
and Military government established, these
troubles would be greatly enhanced, they
would humbly but earnestly entreat Congress
not to subject Tennessee to such dreadful
calamity.
DIR. Revels, brother of Senator Revels,
offered the following resolution =,
Resoired, That We recommend to our peo'
pie throughout the State to strive to cultivate
friendly relations with all citizens, that pres
perity and peace may prevail, and that strife
and confusion may cease.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
DIR: Revels has opposed the Reconstruction
movement from tho beginning, and does moi
believe that the State can ever be recon
structed.

The South.

From the Lynchburs Republican of the
10th, We copy the following:-
On this day, five years ago, the standards
Of General Lees army were finally lowered on
the Appomattox, and the cause of Confederate
Independence was lost and overthrown The
Eve years which have since interviewed have
been more pregnant of oppression and sorrow
and trouble, than the five years previous
although these latter were lurid with the red
fires of war, and stained with the preci GUS
blood of our brightest and dearest All have
now sunk into the record of the irrevocable
Past.
As the South has gone bravely and firmly
through this long ordeal, we hope her people
may prove equally we'll prepared for every
stress and throe of the future before Thorn
Let them find inspiration in the valor and vir.
tue of those who gave up their lives in de-
fence of our rights; and in the constaucy and
courage, of those upon whom the final catas-
trophe of defeat descended this day Eve years
ago.
And while We recall this occasion with
sentiments Of sorrow and regret, let us never
forget that it bears no stain Of disgrace that
its cypress is woven with laurel; and that the
page which records it preserves the imperish-
able and illuminated record of Southern de-
.votion and valor.

Whitmore,s Defence.

According to appointment, q large crowd as
sembled at the colored church, on Monday
night, to hear the late Hon. Rev. B. +. White
more, deceased, tell how he managed to sell
q cadetship, and lose his seat in Congress
The Rt Rev. Expelled made his appearance,
but did not make his speech.
The very Rev. Senator, r. j. Donaldson,
Esq. Intenal Revenue Collector, Chairman of
the Board of Commissioners of Elections and
good many other little things, took the chair,
and announced the object,of the meeting, AZ
ter which, Whittemore rose and said in sub
stance, 81 have never deceived the people,"
Some negro way back in the crowd said, ''No,
reckon not" Henry L. Shrewsbury, COLI
ored member of the Legislature, rose and
said: Chow about the 40 acres and mule?"
him for the purpose of exposing any falsehoods
he might utter, and desired that any one who
thought he was in error should take the same
liberty with him. One of the (black) Smith
family from Darlington now took occasion to
pitch into Shrewsbury, and entertained tho
audience with q few impertinent remarks,
Shrewsbury, however, got the floor next, and
after abiding to the last speaker as one of
Whittemore's dupes, from whom NO better
things could be expected, proceeded for about
two hours to expose Whittemore's conduct.
He read from the proceedings of Congress re-
ported in the papers, quoting from Radical
papers, telling some things that were in his
own knowledge, and propounding some search
ing interrogatories to the Brazon Fronted
Whittemore himself, and challenging his de-
NAL.
He spoke very plainly, forcibly and truth
fully, while Whittemore twisted his mustache,
stroked his beard and thought of Scott and
the Winchesters. He came very near crying
out, ga horse, horse my eadetship for q
horse |" The Chairman once ordered the
speaker to ''shut up" to which he responded.
"you had better shut up yourself, or you will
hear something directly you would not like, "
when sure enough, it IS said, there was an i'm
mediate shutting up in that quarter.
At last, Shrewsbury having faithfully
warned his colored friends against the willy
tricks of the carpet-bag monster, sat down in
the midst of great applause from both colors
and sexes, and Whittemore got the floor. He
commenced by asserting his innocence of the
charges preferred against him, but ShreWs-
berry, true to his promise, denied the truth Of
his assertion, and demanded the proof. The
Chairman now ordered Shrewsbury to be put
out, and several rose to execute the order, but
were met half way by more whe were de-
termined to resist it. and instead of putting
Shrewsberry out, Whittemore put himself out,
and SO ended the grand defenes Of the poor
prosecuted aucrioneer of cadetships.
Shrewsbury had a majority of his ce8ored
constituents on his side, it is thought, and
will be sustained by them.
We have stated the facts Us eye witnesses
related them to US.

The Franking Privilege.

The bill to repeal the franking privilege
still slumbers in the Senate. 1t passed the
House by very large majority, but will
probably never go further. Referring to the
subject, the New York Tribune gives our
national law makers cutting rebuke, as fol,
lows:
"Skeptical observers say that it was never
meant to become law at all, but merely to
give the cheap virtue of certain representa-
tives an expression for home use, throwing
the responsibility of continuing the swindle
upon the Senate, where the term of occupancy
is longer What pity it is that the rule
which forbids judges from sitting on the bench
in their own cases, cannot be applied to Com
gressmen, and the whole subject of their per-
quisites and piokings left to some tribunal
other than themselves They might then
fare quito as well, perhaps, and would at least
be able honestly and without shame to take
all they would get"

HAVANA, April 7.-Oficial dispatches

reaction in the insurrectionary districts in

a report that the rebel General Jordan has

gents, consisting of eight hundred men, are
commanded by General Agreamonte.
These dispatches also report that the Cuban
Congress had been dissolved.
The Cuban families who surrendered to the
Spanish authorities at Arenas state that Presi-
dent Cespedes had abandoned the region of
Las Tunas, and had retired, with about
dozen of his followers, to the Camagurie
region.
Spanish conveys of provisions now reach
the town of Las Tunas without molestation
by the insurgents.

AWFUL DEATH.-An attentive correspond
snt at Upperville, Va, gives us an account of
a fearful death at that place on the evening of
the 3oth of March. It appears that a Mr.. J.
W. Williams (formely of Baltimore, and a
gentleman of considerable property, who has
for some time been residing near Upperville,
had been in the town during the day, and
gotten considerably under the influence of
liquor. Towards nightfall he mounted his
horse and started in the direction of home.
Some half mile from town it is supposed he
dismounted, Invested himself of his coat and
attempted to remount. The animal, fright
ened at something, started to run, and few
rods from where he started, Williams lost his
balance and fell to the ground, his head
striking sharp rock, so that at this point
teaspoonful of the mans brains was found on
the rock. But his feet were entaugled in the
stirruP, and in this condition he was dragged
against snag, by which hole three inches
long was torn into his entrails. The horse
brought the lifeless body of Williams into the
Town, where it was found next morning in the
street BY G. W. Bowie and colored boy.

THE LARGEST HOG IN THE WORLD
The American Republican. published at West
Chester, says: On Monday last, Mr.. JEFF
fsrson Shaner' of West Chester, slaughtered
tho largest hog of which we have any record.
The hog was Chester White, and was two
years and five months old. 1t measured six
feet and ten inches from the root of the tail to
between the ears, seven feet aud three inches
in girth just behind the fore legs, and seven
feet and nine inches around the middle. The
head weighed "a lbs. and the weight of the
whole hog, nearly dressed, was 1O4O lbs.
Good judges estimated that he would make six
hundred pounds of lard.
