Moral Delinquency i'll the Legislature

Mr.. EDITOR: One of the saddest cases of
seeming moral delinquency in high places
that has occurred for many years, happened
upon the adjournment of the recent session of
our Legislature Mt Annapolis The members
OF this body, in both branches, as appears from
the best information have been able to gath
er, are supplied for their use during the session
with postage stamps, the design of which ey.
identity is that they may freely hold CORES,
pondence with their constituents and others,
in their official capacities as members of the
Legislature.
| pass by, for the present tho question
whether any member, under such circum-
stances, would have right to use any of
these stamps in his mere private capacity, az
an Individual say, for instance, in writing q
letter home to his wife, if he is so fortunate
as to have one AS no such instance of abuse
of this quasi franlling privilege has yet been
reported, we have no right to suppose that
any such has occurred; but more melan.
choly than even this particular delinquency
to trust would have been, was the actual
abuse we now complain of.
Upon the adjournment of the Legislature
at Annapolis, last week, the papers state that
the members started for their respective
homes and but one solitary instance is re-
corded that any member of either body re-
turned to the proper officer the postage
stamps he had remaining on hand-tor others
must surely have had some left besides the
Honorable Senator Now, what is the ire
sistible inference? Why clearly that the rest
OF the members carried away with them their
postage stamps. Else why is the one case
alone so promptly reported in the papers, if
it were not the sole and exceptional one :?
The writing paper and other stationery, it is
presumed, was entirely used, as there was no
report of that in any case
These things, Mr.. Editor, should be called
to the attention of the people, and this is my
reason for now troubling you with the pres
ent communication. Hoping there may even
yet be Il satisfactory explanation given to
what seems 10 be so terrible reflection upon
our Legislators, I remain, yours T.

FallstOn and its Surroundings.
FALLsToN, April Sd, 1872.

MIR. EDITOR: 1t is hoped that few lines,
somewhat descriptive of our village and its
surroundings, may be of interest to your rea-
ders.
Fallston derives its name from Little
Falls" which courses its way near by. The
buildings, private and public, that make up
our village, are not huddled together like
cartridges during thunder storm, but ever
and anon you see them close enough together
to warrant the fact of villageship.

Viding for the taking of a census of Hartford

thorized to appoint six or more persons to
perform the duty, who are to ascertain the
number Of white inhabitants, the number
of black inhabitants, as well az the number
Of inhabitants between the ages of six and

The allowance to he paid to the census
takers has been fixed by the Commissioners

We would suggest to the gentlemen APP
pointed to take the census that it would be
we'll if the number of dwelling houses in their
respective districts were also counted. The
time and trouble necessary to do this, would
he but slight, and the knowledge would be
gratifying. The work, we understand, is to

How THE FARMER 10 RoBBED.-We have
received the April number of the Pictorial
TAG Payer, the illustration on the first page
of which represents an unfortunate farmer,
robbed of nearly everything he possessed
by the Protectionists, who are seen making
off with his clothes; the venerable Horace
Greeley-the strenuous advocate of so-called
Protection, being represented as carrying
away his coat. Thus robbed and helpless,
the protected farmer soliloquizes:
well, this protection is wonderful
thing They have taken my hat, my coat,
my shirt, my boots and my stockings. But
thank the Lord-they have left my pants"

A WINpFALL.-Several families in this
county, we are informed, are about to be Wis.
tied by streak of fortune" quite I'm.
looked for. 1t appears that some years ago
gentleman named Randall died in Canada
intestate, leaving property to large amount
the principal heirs to which reside in Har-
ford county. Immediately upon Mr. Ran
dalrs death law suit in regard to the prop
erty arose, which bid fair to be as protracted
as the celebrated case of Jarndyce vs.. Jarn-
dyce-so that all expectation of receiving a
share of this property was dismissed from
the minds of the heirs here, and the subject
was we'll nigh forgotten
Last week, however, a gentleman made
his appearance in Bel Air, and made inqui-
ries for the relatives of Mr.. Randall The
stranger was unable to impart any particu-
lars, having only been requested by legal
friend to call here on his way from Washing
ton to his home in Canada, and ascertain if
the heirs could be found Mr. Randall, we
are informed, was half brother of Samuel
Wilson, native of Kent county, who settled
in Hartford, where he married. Mr.. Wilson
was the father of Mrs. Charles d. Bouldin
and left besides, other children and their
heirs, in this county-among them some
members of the Cover family.
We congratulate our friends upon their
expectations" and hope they may be real
lied.

The Delta and TOwsontown Railroad.

The Delta and TOWsOntOwn Railroad.
The surveys of route for this contemplat.
ed railroadare being actively pushed forward,
by MIR. W. W. Taylor and Major Mayo, en-
gineers. The survey was commenced at Del
ia, and on Saturday evening the engineers
had reached point on Joseph Parrv's farm,
near Cooptown
From Delta to Pylesville the route is dc.
seribed to be of easy grade, and from the lat
Ter point to the Rocks of Deer Greek, the
grade is somewhat more difficult, but by no
means impracticable. Crossing Deer Creek
near Fishels Pavilion, the route ran parallel
with the Creek to Kellogg's branch, which
was followed to certain point, thence
through VIM. Gladden's land, and by s.
Streets and Hanway's mills, through Parry's
land, from which point Long Green Valley
can easily be reached.
The right of way, we understand has been
eheerfally granted in every instance save one,
and no difficulty, upon this score, is appre-
hended along the Hartford county portion of
the route.
If it should be found that II sufficient
amount cannot be raised to carry this road
through to Baltimore, by way of Towson-
town, an effort will then be made, we are in.
formed, to connect with the Northern Cen
trail railroad, or with the proposed Hartford
County Railroad, at Bel Air.

The Hartford County Railroad.

A meeting Of the corporators was held on
Saturday, the 9th inst, when it was ascer-
tanned, that the subscriptions to the capital
stock of the road amounted to nearly $75 900.
This result is very gratifying, it is true, but
considerably more remains to be done before
the necessary amount of 100000 is reached,
by which the road can be secured. Some
persons refuse to subscribe, alleging as rea.
son that they do not believe the road will he
built-that if they felt sure the effort would
he successful, they would place their names
on the subscription paper. lfsuch persons
really desire the road, and are willing to as.
sst in making it, they need not hesitate about
subscribing. The road will certainly be built
if the requisite 100000 are forthcoming;
and if this amount is not subscribed, they
suffer no loss
Another class think the road should be
built exclusively by capitalists and large
property owners, who, they think, have
more interest in its construction than men of
limited means. A moments reflection, we
think, will convince these of their error.
The rich man can do without the road He
can invest his money and enjoy his wealth
undisturbed by the whistle of the locomotive,
and independent of any increase in the value
OF his property, already sufficient for his
needs. On the other hand, the man whose
daily exertions barely suffice to feed and
elothe his family, would by the enlargement
OF his business facilities, brought about by the
railroad, soon be enabled to place his family
in more comfortable circumstances, and by in
dustry and economy hope, with some reason,
@ attain degree of wealth which, under
present circumstances, he can scarcely expect
TO reach.
1t is to the interest of every man within
reach of the railroad to assist in its construc-
ZION. Business here is at stand still. No op-
portunity exists for the starting of any new
enterprise; and as thingsare now, 50 may we
expect them to be for many yeara to come
unless the railroad is built.
