LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Carroll County Ans Hoase.-The
Grand Inquest of the State Of Maryland,
iuquiring for the body of Carrollcounty,
paid the usual visit to the Aims House
on Thursday last, accompanied by
number Of invited guests. The com.
pany sat down to dinner that could
DOT have beensurpassedin auy ofthe frs.
class hotels ofthe country. Good cheer
aud great good humor ruled the hour.
On rising from the table, at the sugges.
ton Of Maj. Hood, Foreman of the Grand
Jury, vote Of thanks was rendered to
the ladies Of the Stewards family for the
very elegant repast which had been
spread before the guests. Mr.. Wilson
then conducted the Grand Jurors thro'
the building. Every part of the house
and premises was scrupulously neat aud
clean, and we could not help thinking
thata large share of the praise, accorded
by all, was due to the excellent steward
ess. The company then repaired to the
barn, stable, piggery, &c. In every
department, the same judieious care
and management were apparent: The
cattle, well bedded and fat enough for
beeves the horses, fat as seals aud
well groomed; the hogs, twenty five Of
them, in most thrifty condition, housed
and sheltered aud having the range of
on ample pen well bedded with leaves ;
the garden, filed with growing vegeta.
bles, and not sprig Of grass to be seen;
and the inmates Of the house, for whom
all this care aud fore.thought is taken,
were neatly clad, comfortable and happy.
We don't know what the report of the
Grand Jury may be, bu, if it should say
that Granville Wilson is the right man
in the right place, it would but echo the
sentiment ofall present. After the Grand
Jury had finished the inspection of the
premises, the stock, aud other things,
the company were again invited to par.
take Of refreshments. Several gentle.
men were then called on to address the
meeting, when brief but appropriate
responses were made by Maj. Hood, DR..
Steele, Mr.. Harden and DR.. Herring.
The Grand jury and other visitors then
returned to town having enjoyed several
hours of the most agreeable social inter.
course.

The Forty-Third Congress.

The forty-third Congress will not
meet until the first Monday II De.
cember, 1873, unless sooner called to-
gether in extraordinary session. The
impression prevails among many
persons that the act of January %.
1867, requiring a new Congress to as.
semble on March 4, Immediately on
the adjournment Of its predecessor,
is still in force, but this law was re.
pealed by the thirteenth section of
the United States statute, approved
April 20, 1871, and to be found on
page twelve of the laws passed at
the first session of the forty-second
Congress. The repeating section is
contained in deficiency appropria-
ton act, and the entire statute is
we'll worth examining, as 6 curious
illustration of the homogeneous meas.
ures that are crowded into one bill
during the expiring hours of ses-
sion of Congress.

Gotham's Horse Women.

A New York letter to the st. Loui:
Globe says: The number of ladies
driving their own turnouts through
the park is constantly increasing
AT one time ladies driving without
gentlemen made themselves the sub
ject of remark, but now it is the
bobby thing to do. They drive
either in ph@tons or buggies, and
sometimes in light English wagons
with liveried John Thomas perch
ed placidly on the back seat. Some
of the ladies handle the reins with
great skill, while others again pull
and saw at their horses mouth
until the poor beast is nearly dis
tracted.
This class, | am happy to say,
from small minority. New York
girls, as a general thing, are used to
drivers" and managing horse is
nothing for their dashing ideas oil
things. Many of them could guide a
locomotive without a thought OF
fear as concerned the speed. | must
confess to a weakness for New York
girls. They can paddle their own
canoe if there is any necessity for
it, or be just as dainty and frighten,
ed at ripple in the water, as
though they did not know a boat
hook from jews harp. They suit
themselves to circumstances.
You meet them on Broadway in
the morning, or on the avenue in the
afternoon, and view their elegant
clothes and stylish ways with envy,
wishing you had been born rich
rather than handsome. But, bless
your simplicity, many of them would
be proud ofyour wealth. The only
difference is they know how to make
the most of the least.
They turn and return their old
silks, strap q Russian leather belt
around their waists, dangle q port
monnaie on one side of it and silk
umbrella on the other, put on hat
made of two feathers and bit OF
lace, which in their experienced
fingers get just the desired expires.
sion; draw on their three buttoned
dollar gloves, hold their heads up,
take long steps and walk up town,
looking as though they only wanted
a chance to turn over q million or so
to some less fortunate person.
These are the majority ; the really
wealthy minority have not a bit
more style, or could not order a
lunch at Delmonico's with more
blaSe air Our New York girls do
not care much for literature they
read the Herald in the morAing and
the Telegraph in the evening, and
perhaps sleep over novel between
times. They have not time to read
much; what with making their
clothes and promenading and going
to the theater the time is pretty
we'll occupied, How ever, they man
age to know little of most every
thing; they observe a great deal,
think quick, and have very know
ing way of talking.

Sumner and Boston.

Boston majority of 5, ABA or l.
aug greater than four years ago.
This shows how much Sumner's de.
lection amounted to in his own home.
No public man in the country had q
stronger hold upon the respect and
confidence of his constituents than
did Mr.. Sumner prior to his break
with his party and his phillipics
against President Grant; and had
his course been right be would have
carried many of bis constituents
with hun. But all could see that, so far
from being aetusted by worthy and
patriotic motives, he had allowed per-
sonal hostility to control his action
and put him in direct antagonism
with all his past record thus be fail
ed to carry anybody with him. This
is another evidence added to the ma
ny that have hitherto been furnished
of the inability of leaders in the Re-
publican party to carry any one with
them when they depart from its prin-
ciples, or turn back upon their record.
They can only lead so long as they
are true to themselves and their par
ty principles. 1t is its intelligence
and persistent adherence TO right
principles that has made the Repub-
lican party the greatest that ever ex-
listed aud has rendered it invincible.

Passports Necessary.

New York, Oct. 26.-Late Euro
pean papers say it has been announc-
ed that from the first of November
the Geamans will insist on every
French subject travelling in the new
Empire being provided with pass
ports, bearing the wise Of the Ger
man legation. The matter has been
interpreted as specially directed
against the inhabitants of Alsace and
Lorraine, who have chosen to abide
by their French nationality. A diff
ferent face is put on the matter by
explanation Of the National Zeitung
That paper says it is a necessary
measure of retaliation.
