Our neighbors across the Monocacy
in the Taneytown District have but :
short distance to 60 to attend Carol
county Court. Why shall we on this
side be deprived privileges which were
granted to them? Shall the people
on one side of the Monocacy be grant
ed immunities which are to be with
held from citizens residing on the
other side?
1t is alleged by some that constitu
tional provisions will be bar to oul
success. The provision of the Consti

am crediblv informed that q large
portion of the inhabitants of Carroll
county residing in the vicinity of Mid
dleburg, Pipe creek and Sans creek
favor their incorporation within the
precincts Of a new county.
If a majority of the citizens residing
in Frederick, Carroll and Washington
counties (within the limits Of the pro-

see no reason why it should not be ac-

he has worked at the case, as well as
written editorials and selected matter
for his paper. He has been in easy
circumstances for many years, but
from sheer force of habit continued to
set type and do other manuel labor on
the paper almost to the day of his
death. lie was man Of exceedingly
temperate habits, and enjoyed such
excellent health that he hardly knew
what it was to be sick.

Mr.. Horace Greeley, of the New
York Tribune, says he believes Jesus
Christ was less than God, yet moro
than man. He does not pretend to-
explain how this can be, but bases his
belief on scriptural declarations. He
also says he believes all sin is punished,
if not in this world in the next What
ever Horace drinks, he certainly takes
his religion 'alf-and- alf.
Conversation enriches the under
standing but solitude is the school Of
genius.

NEW York, May 2G.-The court of Oyer
and Tcrminer was crowded to the utmost OK
tent this morning to witness the closing scenes
in the Foster trial. The prisoner and his
counsel held a long consultation before the for
NAL opening Of the court. Mrs. Foster the
wife of the prisoner Was not present. District
Attorney Garvn moved that the court pass
the sentence of the law on the prisoner. Jud &c
Stewart said he would not submit motion for
arrest Of Judgement but after judgement he
would sue out i writ Of error.
Mr. NanderpoOl the clerk of the court, ask
ed Foster what he had to say why the sentence
Of death shonld not be passed upon him, Eos
ter, deeply affected only said he did not intend
to murder Mr. Putnam. Judge Cardozo said
he didn't wish to say anything to hurt the
prisoners feelings. He had had i patient
trial By an ictclligcnt jury most Of his own
selection, but the case was too clear to come
to any other conclusion than the one srrlvcd at.
They recommended him to mercy. but that
Recommendation was for higher tribunal to
consider He could hold out no hope to him
whatever OF communication of sentence and he
should be prepared to meet his awful doom.
The sentence Of the court was that he should
be taken to the place from which he came and,
on the 18th day Of July next, there be hanged
by the neck until dead.
The prisoner was given into. the custudy Of
the Sheriff, and the court adjourned.

The MUNICIPAL ELECTION There is cause
for congratulation at the result of the election
in this city yesterday Despite the utmost cx-
ertions of the Radicals, and an apparent luke
warmness on the part Of some Conservatives,
which it is hoped may never occur again,
three of the four Wards have been carried and
the city government retained in the hands of
| those who are most deeply interested in it wei
fare and prosperity. In the Fourth Ward,
where the Radicals have succeeded, some
what different result, it is said might have
been effected had there been that activity and
determination on the part Of the Conservative
voters that was exhibited by their opponents,
who acknowledging the superiority Of the Con-
sentative ticket ard the eminent fitness Of the
gentlemen upon it for Councilman, yet disrc-
garded qualification, ignored the wants Of the
city, and voted blindly and in solid phalanx for
those much less qualified and who do not possess
the esteem or confidence Of the people and are
not so well acquainted with the affairs Of the
city The loss in the Councils of the city. of

many years, faithfully served asa member OF

alterations with such credit to himself and sails
