upon the position it takes on the question.

THE RESORT TO sopHIsrRY, and attempt to
cloak important State questions by appeals
to outside issues are of no further use, says
the Smyrna Times, and continues thus /;
whether the white man or the negro
shall govern this Stale is not the question
at all. The DetaWarean knows that there
Is no possibility Of such thing either in
Delaware or elsewhere. With population
of $4,000 whites and only 10000 negroes
there could be no such question in this
State, and the talk about "negro supre-
macy" "negro rule," etc., is sheer non
sense. 1t is too fiimsy to make scare
crow Of, let alone political issue"

THE HONORABLE BENZ. G. HARRIS, of Ma.
ryland, advises revolution. lie wants to re.
sist the operations of 18th Amendment. He
proposes opposition to the suffrage rights OF
the colored citizen. The poor old cx-rebel
cries ont to his audience "to stand firm, re.
"gardless of the threats of knaves and ty-
"rants." 1t will be remembered, no doubt,
that Renny is the same person, who once
exclaimed in Congress during the rebellion,
that the South was not yet conquered, and
he prayed Gcd, it never might be. But as
the prayers Of the wicked avail little, SO his
rebel friends were subdued, Notwithstanding
and thus 1t will be with his equally ardent
hope that by some swindle, the colored men
may still be deprived of their vote.

CONSIDERING THE FACT that the State trea-
suty of Maryland is bankrupt 10 the tame of
$33o,o0o, and there Is no provision to pay
the interest on the debt, due April LIST, It
does seem rather strong contrast to observe
the style which that aristocratic horse racer
and cock fighter, the Governor Of the State
supports. A Democratic paper says he ''lives
" in his palace, and stables his blooded
chargers In 5000. stables" The Legis-
lature, the oyster police, and swanns militia
have grabbed the last cent in the peoples
pocket, but the palace-lodged Bowie can
contemplate poverty with serene satisfaction

Tho Phiiad. Iphia Estate Auditors,

The present system OF requiring an auditor In
the settlement of oil estates has grown to most
unreasonable and oppressive proporlionsiu iu Phila-
delphia. The hosts of greedy attorneys seeking
business and fees have brought matters to such
situation that even In the plaincst cases. where
the duty of The administrator or executor is clear
and nobody in interest is dissatisfied, an auditor
Is appointed and the estate taxed with his
charges, which, In many instances are extotiona,e
and outrageous. 10 the estate of certain Richard
b. Jones, for example, 1t appears that the prop
e'ty was sold for s4475, and n mortgage Of
s1,735 was paid. Then came the various charges !:

The following is an extract from
congressional doings, as reported by
Pachmel5o:
Mr. Schenck remarked that his tariff
bill had be- n beaten. but that he would
introduce another bill, which he did.
The other bill is the same bill, except
the duty on meaulary sutures is reduced
one per cent. per million, and the duty
on particirle adjectives is increased one
per cent nd valorem, which, as Schcnck
observed. would not bear heavily upon
congressman.
Mr. Covode said this bill ought to be
passed, because his colleague, Nh Wood
ward was in sympathy with redhanded
rebels, who had tried to diSplace him,
Mr. Covode.
Mr. Woodward wanted to know what
Covode was talking about.
The speaker called Mr.. Woodward to
order upon the ground that it was noto-
rious that Coyode never talked about
anything, and it was supplementary
and insulting for one member to inter
rupt another while making confden-
ti1l communication to his constituents.
Mr. Covode further remarked that
the bill ought t. be pissed because all
the members who did not agree with
him in his estimate of his usefulness
were opposed to it.
This affected the house to tears, and
