TEL W. MAGRuDgR, in Montgomery CO.. Md,
on the Goth Of February last, after n brief i'll
ness, MARTHA MAGRUDER, in her 53rd

Mrs Magruder was, in many respects,
more than ordinary woman. She possessed
natural sprightiness of mind bouyancy of
spirit and goodness of heart, which secured to
her many friends. But she is gone, aud we
believe our loss is her gain.
Dear as thou vert and justly dear
We would not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the startling tear,
1t is, that thou art free.

The Political Prospect.

The present administration Of the General
Government is the most CORRUPT that has ever
cursed our land II has Disguised not only
The country generally, but very many of lis
immediate party friends. The very men who,
short time since, were lOudest in their praises
Of the hero-Presidcnt, now wag their tongues
against him, ana pronounce him political
fnilurc.
The truth is, the poor, diseased body, called
the Radical party, has a fatal malady upon l.,
which must in the nature Of the case, ere long,
terminate its wotu existence. The leading
Radical journals see The and.wri,ing on the
wall, and are utterly bewldcred to know how
TO parry the blows dealt on all sides at the
rotten Radical fabric. In point of fac, the
whole Radical press are in state of panic, and
know not which way TO turn, or what under
heaven TO do, to prop no crumbling party
and save it from the inevitable approaching
crash. Alarm is manifest in all they say about
the administration they have couurcd up and
put into power, and in speaking of the status
and prospects Of their party, sometimes they
the administration and party leaders without
mercy, charging them with having brought
ruin upon the party-he highest compact
known TO them. Sometimes they give advice
and declare that unless il is followed. all will
be lost. Sometimes they point out what they
mildly call mistakes, " think they ought TO be
rectfcd, but enieav or to persuade their down
cast brethren, that there is no cause for alarm.
that everything is bright and beautiful Just
behind the cloud, while, at the same time, they
are almost palsed with apprehension and fear,
acting upon the theory that, for party purpo-
scs, the false face must hide what the false
heart doth know
tits true that, just now, dark days, very
dark days, are upon us. We have a republic
without liberty, democracy without equai-
", and constitution without protection
But, as sure as there is just God who pre-
sides over the destinies of nations, these evils
will all be corrected at a day not very diston'.
We will wait patiently and look confidently
for the better times which will surely come.
Let the Democracy be but vigiant and pru-
cent, anu 4 brighter day VIII ere long dawn
upon the nation. Things are even now in n
political chaos. As we have said, the Reput-
lican party is already filled with discord and
jealousy, and in the process oc disintegration.
1t is growing weaker and weaker and its OPP
pontnts stronger and stronger. The Demc-
cratic party has now a better opportunity 10
regain their ascendcncy than they have had at
any time since they lost it. they will but
improve This opportunity with prudence and
Judgment the coming Presidential election
will attest the overthrow of the most corrupt
nischevous and ruinous faction that eve- dis
graced any country, and exhibit to the world
the restoration of f:alernal relations between
all sections OF our common country, and start
the government anew upon career Of pros
perty and usefulness.

December 4th, 1871, having been indicted in
Baltimore August 14th, 1871.
Mrs. Wharton was detained under arrest
in her own house, on the 10th of July last,
and six days afterwards the grand jury hay
ing made formal presentment, she was con-
veyed to the Baltimore city jail, where she
remained until the first of December last,
when she was removed to the Annapolis Jail.
She has therefore been in duress over six
months, though her imprisonment, owing to
the devotion of her daughter and the consid-
Grafton of her custodians, has been deprived
of much of the dreary discomfort ordinarily
experienced by persons under similar cir
cumstances. Her trial has occupied forty
two days actually, in which time the theories
ofchemistry and medicine have been exhaust
ed, as well rs the law and the practitioners OF
all three of these learned professions.
Over one hundred witnesses have been ex-
amined for and against the accused, many OF
them from remote sections of the Union, in
GLIDING some of the most prominent army
officers in the service of the government, la
dies and others. Probably more exhaus-
tive trial, a more tenacious defence or vigor-
GUS prosecution has never been witnessed in
Maryland. 1t is estimated that the case thus
far will cost the city of Baltimore fully $685.
600. 1t will, it is understood, ruin the pris-
oner pecuniarily, for the charges she is at
must be very great.

Election of United States Senator.

We are pleased to see that our Legislature
after numerous ballots, has at last elected q
United States Senator, for the term com.
mencing ON the 4th of March, 1878 and the
choice has most worthily fallen upon DR.. Geo
r. Dennis, of Somerset, than whom it would
be difficult to find, in all the State, a more &C.
complished gentleman, or more intelligent
consistent and reliable Democrat.
1t appeared to be conceded on all hands
that the Senator should come from the Eastern
Shore, and number of distinguished gentle.
men from that section of the Stale were put
in nomination-among whom it was no doubt
difficult to make choice-and it must be
particularly gratifying to the friends of DR.
Dennis, that among SO many worthy compe.
titors, he has been selected for that high and
honorable position. We congratulate him
upon his election and while we fully recog.
nize the merits ofour present able and filth.
full Senator, against whom no word of cen.
sure has been uttered, we rejoice to know that
he will have worthy successor, and the
State representative of whom we may well
be proud.

The End of the Wharton Trial.

The case ofthe State against Mrs. Wharton,
indicted for the poisoning of General Ketch-
nm, has at last been concluded, the jury hav.
ing brought in a verdict of mot guilty"
Attorney General Syester closed. the argu-
ment, on the part of the State, at two o'clock,
on Tuesday afternoon, when the case was
given to the jury, who returned verdict as
above on Wednesday morning, about ten
o'clock.
The allegations against Mrs. Wharton for
attempting to murder Mr.. Eugene Van Ness
by poison form separate indictment, but the
case was continued until the third Monday
in April. Mrs. Wharton was released on
bail in the sum of $4,000.
The following review of this case, which
is one that will figure conspicuously in the
annals of criminal jurisprudence for many
years to come, we take from the Baltimore
Sun:
The trial of Mrs. Wharton for the muir der
of General Ketchum has been the most mem
orable event of the kind in this State for
thirty or thirty-fve years. No trial has elici-
ted SO much public interest since the blue
Ratchet case of Stewart, or the later and more
brutal tragedy for which Adam Horn was
hanged. 1t is now one month two weeks
and five days since Mrs. Wharton's trial be-
gan in Annapolis She was arraigned in
the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel county

Railroad Error.
DUBLIN. JAN, 22d.

DUBLIN, JAN. 22d, 1872.
MR.. EDITOR: | think our Dublin friends
committed great error or oversight, when
Col. johnson requested them to show him
the most practicable route for the Maryland
Central Railroad from Dublin to the Susque-
hanna, by directing him to Glen Cove Now
the Great Architect of the Universe has made
Il natural route, from near Dublin to the river,
that looks as if it had been cut out on pur-
pose for a track for the iron horse. l mean
to start at Deckman's, half mile west from
Dublin, and follow the ravine provided by
nature down Green Coat rum until you in
tersect Broad Creek; thence follow the
creek to the river. There is no hill to over
come from Deckmans to the river. There
are no Dogs or swamps in the way, but the
river could be reached by this route by easy
grades, over good, solid ground. The road
would strike the river near the best stone
quarries for bridge building in the State.
After crossing the river there are two natu-
raj ravines, either of which would be prac-
ticable route. One is Fraziers run, nearly
opposite the mouth of the Creek, by which
the road would reach the level country at
Pleasant Grove by easy grades; the other is
via the Conowingo Creek valley. Either of
these routes would lead from the river with.
out any heavy grading or deep cuts and as
~ 10 allcSSll tuuJ Tic ELY lueeT lnlnkS the
route from Dublin to Glen Cove is impracti.
cable, would it not be well for some of our
influential citizens to acquaint the Colonel
with this route and try to induce him to view
the same? And think the great advantage
that this route presents over all others would
cause him to give it the preference.
Col. johnson has viewed the route from
Deckman's w. S. W., and | understand that
he thinks it the most practicable route that
he has seen. There is a ravine the entire
distance, from Deer Creek to the river, it
passes up Sulphur run and Sand Spring IA
vine, until it reaches Deckman's, when it
strikes the watershed between Deer Greek
and Broad Creek. The point where this
water shed is passed is lower by 100 feet than
any otlier locality between the two creeks :;
and inasmuch as the Company would prefer
a route west of Dublin and north of Deer
Creek, our capitalists and influential citizens
should at once get the Engineer to come and
view the route above described, which would
in all probability secure to us the road, which
would be of infinite advantage to our citizens
and enhance the value of real estate adjacent
to the line more than one hundred per cent.
Yours, truly MARS

LEG BRoKEN.-On Sunday afterno on, a
son of Mr.. Abraham Shertzer, who lives near
Fountain Green, went out to the barn to feed
some hogs, when one of the porkers, in its
haste to get at the corn, ran against the lad,
throwing him down and breaking his right
leg between the ankle and knee. The boys
parents were absent at church, at the time
and there being no grown person upon the
place he was therefore obliged To lay where
he fell until his sister summoned neighbor
who carried the lad to the house, and sent
for his parents. The fracture was reduced
by DIR. James NJ Magraw, and the lad is re
