Unanswerable Arguments.

elixir, and wholesome and powerful remedy,
is based. When witnesses come forward in
crowds, year after year, and reiterate the same
statements in relation to the beneficial effects
of a medicine upon Themselves, disbelief in its
efficacy is literally impossible. The credentials
of this unequalled tonic and Alternative, extend
ing over period of nearly twenty years, in
clude individuals of every class, and residents
of every cline, and refer to the most prevalent
among the complaints which aff1ict and harass
the human family. Either multitude ofpeo-

no less than fifth of q century, have been at

There is albexample for the farmers Of Ma

could accomplish so much, could not the farm
ers of Marylqd, by combination, accomplish
more? Could not 20 men, in each county, be
found willing to contribute $55 each, for the
purpose OF procuring two laborers. And
could not 60 &c found in the city of Baltimore
willing to pay like sum for similar pur-
pose? If so, they could thus raise the sum
Of $27, 500. for which amount they could each
procure two laborers and defray the expenses
Of the agent besides. The passage money OF
1000 laborersSat $25 each, would be $685.
900, and $1,000 would pay all the expenses
or an agent. Let the money be raised and
deposited in one of the Baltimore banks sub
iect to the agents check, on producing the
laborers, in Baltimore. And let the agent
before starting ION his mission, receive from
each contributossto this fund a description OIL
the kind Of ianolsrs needed, agricultural, me-
chanical, male or female, and let him make
his selections accordingly. Let the immi-
grants, also, be bound to remunerate the con-
tributors, by labor, for their passage money

Baltimore and Potomac Railro

Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
The Prince Georgian promises that the
track laying of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad will positively commence with the
first opening Of the Spring. A number Of
cross-t:es, cutin Prince Georges county, have
already been delivered along the line of the
road, and others from North Carolina and
the rails are landed at Annapolis, and are be-
ing rapidly transported to the intersection Of
the Baltimore and Potomac road and the Elk
ridge road by the latter company.
Captain Henry n. Carter, the resident en-
ginesr of the road in Prince Georges county,
has been locating the depots. which will be
situated about three miles apart, and besides
the one at Mr.. Hills, the two nearest to Up
per Marlboro will be at "Willow Brook" and
on the plantation Of Thomas II. Osbourn,
Esq. Nearly all the grading in Prince
Georges county is finished, and it is expected
that the work of laying the rails will steadily
progress at the rate of about three-fourths of
mile per day. which will bring the road to
Upper Marlboro during the summer.

fCoMMNICUATED.1


Mr.. EDrToR:-In your issue of January
9th, under the head of "Anti-Infallibiity
Movement" you quote paragraph from the
Curci, Jesuit Priest, has published pamph-
let condemning 1nfallibility aud rejecting the
Temporal Power of the Pope.
As this extract may and does seem to have
been misunderstood, a few words regarding
this item may not be inappropriate.
The writer Of this article believes that this
report may be classed under the head of sim
liar ones, such as 'the Pope is reconciled and
accepts. the situation" than which nothing
can be more false. But were it true, it would
only prove that one more star had fallen from
the armament of the Church, yet as the Church
was not founded by men, and as she cast of
a Tertullan in the first ages and De Lam
menais in later days, Notwithstanding their
acute intellects and brilliant writings, and still
weathered every storm and witnessed the short
lived existence of those who opposed her, 80
will it be now regarding all who rise against
her.
The idea that the correspondent wished to
convey was, that among the Jesuits, there
might be a party to some auti-infallibility
scheme To disprove this it is sufficient to
know, that the moment Catholic disbelieves
or opposes, that dogma, he ceases to be a
Catholic. Any Catholic who could favor the
villainous. hypocritical and sacrilegious rob-
berries of Victor Emmanuel, who has not
had even the modesty Of Judas, to betray the
Saviour at night, must have most assuredly
lost his senses or he must be classed as a
thief himself. What could we think of a
Pope, the father of his people, who would
surrender his children to a tyrant, who calls
himself an Italian King? Could the incum-
bent of any Episcopal Parish, or the Metho-
dist minister on his Circuit, ALLEVIATE house
or farm, which bad been given in perpetnity to
bis Church? Suppose some powerful mem
Der OF his Church seized this property, what
would be thought of the minister or any mem
Der of the Church, who would be so cowardly
as to approve of such rapacious robbery ?
Here you have the case Of the Temporal
Power of the Pope. CATHoL1cUs.

The contingent expenses Of the United
States House Of Representatives make up a
curious cash account. The arrest of Patrick
Woods for knocking down Virginia Con-
gresham took $50 from the contingent
fund of which 81 day went to keep the
prisoner in provisions during the incarcera-
ton. The cost of bringing the recalcitrant
witness Florence Scannel from New York was
1891. Would-be members, who failed to
establish any right to seats in the House, took
$50, 500 from the fund. The carting Of doc
uments to and from the House cost $500,
at 81 per load.

TO tAe Editor of tie Port Tobacco Times !:

know nothing that gave me more pleasure,
during my visit to Alexandria, than the kind
reception met with in the Dry Goods Store
of our old friend, ROBERT L. WooD. That gen.
tleman seems to be especially adapted to the
manners and customs of our people. There
was in the proprietor, and his very gentleman
ly assistants, desire to please, and from their
well stocked shelves they were enabled to suit
all classes and tastes. noticed that thesmall-
est wants of those who came in, with their
hard earned shillings, were attended to SO care
fully as apparently to make the poor man feel
that the pleasure Of spending his money more
than compensated him for the toll endured in
earning it.
We learn from your, advertising columns
something of the nature and variety of Mr..
WOODS stock, and recommend all who 60 to
Alexandria to purchase Dry Goods to call and
see him, CHARLES COUNTY.

The War I'm EurOpe.

The great event of the past week is the
cspitulation of Paris The immediate terms
include the surrender of the forts and the
army of Paris, the regulars and mobiles to re-
main in the city as prisoners of war, the Ma
tional Guard to undertake the preservation of
order. An arnlistice of three weeks on land
and sea is declared, within which time the
National Assembly will meet at Bordeaux.
The general terms of peace, as proposed by
Bismark are reported from Berlin to be the
cession of Alsace and Lorraine, with Belfort
and Metz, the payment OF one hundred mill
lions of francs as indemnity, the cession of
the colony of Pondicherry and the transfer Of
twenty first rate frigates. These terms will
be referred to the National Assembly.
The condition of the poorer people of Paris
is described as wretched in the extreme, and
to relieve the distress in the city is now a
prime object with the besiegers and besieged,
and immense quantities of provisions are be-
ing forwarded thither. Some delay has &C.
Cured owing to the damage during military
operations of several important lines of rail-
way. The provisioning is being managed,
however, with all practicable haste. Three
millions of rations have been ordered forward
from the German army. 1t was feared Tues
day that disturbances were in progress in the
city, reports of firing being heard in the Belle
Vile and Vlllette quarters on that day.
Pending the armistice speculation is busy
in regard to the political prospect. The FORE
most question seems to be, who will be made
President of the Council of Ministers; that,
it is believed, being the first act that will be
considered by the National Assembly. The
most prominent probable candidates are Fa-
vre, Gambetta, Theirs, Picard and Grevy. 1t
is stated that the Orleans Princes, the Duke
DAumale and Prince de Joinville, have re-
solved to accept candidatures to the Assem-
bly,, believing that if chosen they can return.
to France and resume their residence. Gam
BETA, 1.-THE rumor of whose suicide proves to
have been false,) in proclamation from Bor-
deaux, says that Prussia believes armistice
will dissolve the French armies, and secure
the election of an Assembly ready to conclude
q shameful peace, and urges unrelaxed vigor
in organization Tor defense and the election of
an Assembly that will make peace on terms
compatible only with the rank, honor and in
tegrity of France The municipality of Bor-
deaux has already issued protest against
peace on any dishonorable terms.
