The " Duck War;"

The Anserican of Monday last publishes
the following letter from Havre de Grace,
on the "Duck War;
"There is in this town population of
three thousand people, all of whom are
directly or indirectly interested in the tax
ing of wild fowl. The o-calledD officers
of the law have been trampling rough shod
over every right and privilege which belongs
to the people at this point. AS a Democrat
l regret to say that the Democratic press is
closed against any communication which
would convey to the public eye sense of
the distress in this neighborhood, or would
operate in any manner to the interests of
this people, while it readily publishes any
defamatory article replete with such terms
as "thieves," poachers," and "river
pirates"
l append Il letter to the Governor, based
upon the opinion of an eminent lawyer of
Maryland, which desire the people here
to see.
The letter to the Governor above referred
to was written by r. r. Vandiver, Esq, of
Havrc de Grace, and which we are COM
PEELED to omit on account of its length
After giving sketch of the exploits of the
Oyster Navy, charging Captain Davidson
with Over-stepping his authority, the writer
states the law for the protection of '!Wild
Fowl to be as follows:
In defence of these proceedings it was
stated that the Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, had made it a part of the duties of
the "Oyster Police Force to enforce the
law relating to "Wild Fowl" Upon an
examination of the proceedings of that
body, l find there is no such law in force.
There was an act (chap. 29G, approved
April 4th, 1S70,) amending section Al of
chap 406 of the laws of 1868, entitled
''Oysters,' which made it a part of the
duties of the commander of the said 'sOys.
ter Police Force to enforce the provisions
of article 9S of the Code, relating to
g Wild Fowl This enactment had only
four days existence. 1t was subsequently
destroyed by chapter 3G4, approved April
Sth, 1870, which repealed chapter 40G, and
everything pertaining to it. Chapter 364
is now, as | understand it, the 'Oyster
Law" Of Maryland. There is not single
line in it which makes it the duty of Com
mander Davidson to cruise in the waters of
the Susquchanna River and head of Ches-
apcake Bay. The fleet is 4 creature of the
''Oyster Law" and to msapply its force
so as to interfere with Il law that provides
its own endorsements. is a Isurpation of
authority, which, think, every person.
even if they be violating article 9s, has the
right to use the same force in resisting, as
they would against any one who attempted
an assault upon their person.
Article 9S authorizes any 8! sheriff, con
stable or commissioned militia officer of the
county wherein the provisions of this article
relating to water fowl may be violated
to make the arrests, and none other.

LAYING A CoRNER-SToNE.-T was
large turnout on Sunday afternoon last,
of the Roman Catholic societies of Balti-
more to participate in the ceremonies
attendant upon the laying of the corner
stone of a building designed to be used as
school and asylum for colorcd orphan
children, to be under the control and
direction ofthe Oblate Sisters of Providence,
all of whom are colored. Archbishop
Spalding delivered brief address, during
which he said there was no dictnction of
color in the Roman Catholic Church, and
he rejoiced to see Americans, Germans and
lrishmen carrying out, by their action yes
terday, the true principles of that church
1t is mooted question, said the Archbishop,
whether the colored people of the Roman
Catholic faith should have separate
churches, or whether they should remain,
as now, in the churches in which they
enjoy common privileges with all other
Catholics. Heretofore they have met at
the same communion table, and have par
ticipated, he said, in the same sacraments
and ordinances of that Church on terms of
perfect equality. He thought that perhaps
in some localities, by reason of their ncroas-
ing numbers, it may become desirable to
gather them into churches of their own.
During the course of his remarks he Incl
dentally remarked that when he was a
student at college two of his classmates
were colored youths, and one of them was
his particular friend.

Democratic Ignorance.


1t is well known that the Fifteenth
Amendment is the greatest Democratic
bugaboo of the times, even overlapping
"nigger equality" in the pure unclassified
mind of Democracy. Taking their cue
from a knowledge of this weak spot in the
Democratic brain, their shrewd speakers
and ''ward politicians told their dumb
followers, that if they could only manage
to elect a majority of Democrats to Con-
gress they would speedily repeal the obnox-
ious fifteenth article of the Constitution,
and "stop all the niggers from voting
henceforth and forever. This was delight
worked with might and main, and managed
to reduce the Republican majority in the
House to about fifty, mot 10 as the Demo-
crat, with so much assurance affirmed.) We
ignorance prevailed among men evincing
such interest in political questions as the
Democracy; and on question, too, which
has recently excited so much discussion as
that of amending the Constitution.
An article or amendment when once
incorporated into the Constitution must go
through the same routine to repeal it, that
it did to make it a part of the fundamental
law The Constitution itself, in article V,
prescribes the mode by which it shall be
altered or amended. When two-thirds
of both Houses shall deem it necessary,
they shall propose amendments to the
Constitution, or ON the application of the
Legislatures of two-thirds of the several
States, Congress shall call Convention
for proposing amendments, which shall be
valid when ratified by the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the States.
Now the Fifteenth Amendment, as well
as all other Amendments, has been engrafted
in the Constitution in the manner above
stated, and if repealed at all, it must be
done by a similar process; and though the
Democrats might gain majority in both
Houses of Congress, of which there is not
the remotest probability, they could not
even propose the abrogation of the-to them
obnoxious Fifteenth Amendment, unless
that majority was two-thirds one. And
admitting them to have gained the power
to propose the repeal, their proposition
would have to be sanctioned by three
fourths of the State Legislatures to give it
validity This can never he accomplished,
every man must admit, who knows any
thing about our Government, and till this
well nigh miracle can be performed, the
Fifteenth Amendment will stand as part of
the Constitution, guaranteeing political
rights to every citizen and colored men
arc sure to vote for all coming time while
the Republic of the United States lasts.
So those simpletons who dream that =
mere Democratic majority in Congress
could alter or affect the Constitution, or
prohibit colored men from voting, may as
well dismiss their vain hopes, and prepare
to exercise the principles of liberty which
that document secures to themselves and
their posterity, without grudging the same
privileges and rights to other men, whose
exercise of those rights does not in any
way interfere with their own.

A Liberal Offer.

Under this caption, our friend Cotton,
Editor of the Maryland Republican, pub
fishes proposals for corps of local cores
pondents We take the liberty to use
friend Coltons article, with such modlfica-
tions as are necessary to adopt it to The
Wig.
1t has always been our wish to have
reliable local correspondence in each Flee
ton District of the county. We have
indeed felt the need of this SO much that
we do not think our paper complete with
out it, and as we cannot expect any one to
work for nothing, We make the following
liberal proposition To any lady or gentle
man in either of the Dists. except the 3D.
of the Co., who will furnish us with one short
letter each week, we will pay $25 year
in cash and give them two copies of THE
Wing, to be sent to any address they may
name. The matter to be as truthful as
possible and contain nothing of personal
character, and be composed wholly of local
politics or other subjects. Here is a
chance for young ladies or gentlemen to
improve themselves in writing, and at the
same time get enough at least to pay for
paper and stamps. This will cost us about
$3.50 per year, and although it looks like
small matter, it is something to pay for
local correspondence. You need not be
afraid to write-we will put the matter in
proper shape. The following are some of
the subjects to write upon. Give us all
the neighborhood news. Tell us who dies,
who gets married, who comes into the
neighborhood, who moves away, who sells
or purchases farm, what new business
starts, fires, accidents, fights, and in short,
anything that one neighbor would tell
another as news. And if you have nothing
better to write about, give us your opinion
of the weather, the condition of the roads
or anything else you choose. The Editor,
of course, reserves to himself the right to
publish the correspondence entire, in part,
Or to withhold it altogether; and CORES
pondents may feel safe in trusting him-he
will try to do what is right. If in any Dis
tIlcI tHeIe Hlay pe hoIc thdH oHe peIsoH
applying the Editor will make selection,
but no one will ever know that there was
more than one applicant. The above pro-
position will remain open until the 31st day
of December, and any one desiring the
position, will address the Editor over pro-
per signature, with District and post office
address, with a speciman letter for publ
cation if they think proper, and as soon as
the time expires, successful applicants will
be notified. Where there are not items
sufficient to furnish a letter weekly, 80 cts.
a letter will be paid for all received that
are accepted.

MooRE's RURAL NEW YORKER. This is
one of the very best papers that can be
found for the home circle and the country
firesidc, and every family where youth are
found should be provided with some such
paper or papers. The value to the expand
ing mind which is eager to grasp every
species of mental food within its reach, of
good papers full of practical, every day
instruction, as well Us scientific knowledge.
cannot be estimated. One number of such
paper is worth cart loads of the trashy
sheets which flood the country and corrupt
the minds of the young with monstrous
love stories and sensation tales.
The price of the Rurul is So a year to
single subscribers. We will club it with
The Wing for single copy of each, one
year in advance, $500. Among the many
fiattering notices it has received from the
press of the county, we have only room for
the following:
Always fresh and varied, and suited to
almost every phase and period of life, it
now stands, prominently, the largest, most
beautiful and popular weekly of its class
published anywhere.-S s. Visitor.
An advertisement of the Rural will be

The Approaching Change.

The delightful weather and fine roads we
have been enjoying for many weeks, we
may expect ere long to change to rough
stormy weather, with snow and ice, Or
drenching storms and muddy roads, max
ing travel on our public thorougbfares,
not merely unpleasant, but execrablc. The
question of bad roads with returning win
ter, again meets every one with it's discom-
forts and toll, who has business requir
ing them to be on the roads. A remedy
for this growing evil is the all-important
question with our people whose business
calls them abroad. If the evil cannot be
entirely eradicated, every one will admit
that it might in a great measure be mitiga-
on the county roads, they ought to con-
stantly improve, in place of growing worse,
as is the case at present.
There is something radically wrong in
our system of Road Laws is clear to all
rejecting minds; and that INSCRIPTIONS
men take advantage of the defective law,
is equally apparent. There is immense
quantities of material in the form of stones
and gravel, of which all the best roads in
the country are composed, scattered broad
cast over the county. A law compelling
makers and members of roads to bring this
waste material into the proper place and
we stand most in need of. A law giving
power to, and making it obligatory on the
County Commissioners to publish speclf-
cations stating the manner and form that
roads shall be made and the material to be
used, and then give the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, whose bondsmen
shall secure the public against loss, would
have to constitute feature of the road
law in our mind to make it efficient
The practice pursued by the County
Commissioners in having bridges built,
with Celebrations would be very good
system for the management of roads. If
we had political bridges as we have politi-
cal roads, the former would be no better
than the latter.
1t may be argued That the expense neces-
sary to make permanent road would be-
in many cases, disproportioned to the
amount of travel which the road accommo-
dates, but the longer the work would last
with little or no future expense. The road
question is one that deeply interests every
real estate owner in the country; and the
greater the convenicnces the higher his
property will rise in value. Nothing adds
more to the permanent value of real estate
than fine roads in the neighborlood We
invite suggestions from all who feel an
interest in the subject, on the improvement
of our public roads and road laws, The
improvement i'll our opinion will have to
begin with the latter.
