The Defaulters' Law.

The public officers in the State, whose duty
it is to collect the revenue of the State or coun-
ty, will find chapter 329 of the Acts passed
by the Legislature at its recent session one of
more than ordinary interest to them. 1t is a
re-enactment Of the defaulters' law of 1870,
providing the machinery for its enforcement
and increasing the penalty for neglect of duty.
Section two provides that if any officer
whose duty it is to collect money for the State
or county, shall refuse or neglect to pay to
the proper officer authorized to receive the
same any public monies in his possession for
more than sixty days after the day upon which
it is made by law his duty to- pay the same,
he shall be deemed deaulter. and upon in
dctment and conviction thereof shall for each
offence be imprisoned in the State penitenti-
AIRY for from one to five years unless the a
mount for wiIich he is defanlter be sooner paid.
This law is now in force.

A PitifuI Condition.

1t is q sad thing to pass through life only
half alive. Yet there are thousands whose hab-
itual condition is one of languor and debility.
They complain of no specific disease they suf-
fer no positive pain; but they have no relish
for any thing which affords mental or sensuous
pleasure. In nine cases out OF ten this state OF
lassitude and torpor arises from morbid stom-
ach. Indigestion destroys the energy of both
mind and body. gWhen the waste of nature is
not supplied by due and regular assimilation
of the food, every organ is starved, every func-
ton interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The sys-
tenn needs rousing and strengthening; not
merely for an hour or two, to sink afterward
into more pitable condition than ever las it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to- but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplish
ed? The answer to this question, founded on
the unvarying experience of quarter of a CEN
tury, is easily given. Infuse new vigor into
the digestive organs by course of Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time by ad-
ministering temporary remedies, but wake the
system up by recuperating the fOuntain-head of
physical strength and energy, the great organ
upon which all the other organs depend for
their nurture and support.
By the time that dozen doses of the great
vegetable tonic and invigorant have been taken,
the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begin to
feel it's benign influence. Appetite will be
created, and with appetite the capacity to di-
gest what it Graves. Persevere until the cure
is complete-until healthful blood, ftto be the
material of flesh and muscle, bone and nerve
and brain, flows through the channels of circu-
lation, instead of the watery pabulum with
which they have heretofore been imrerfectly
nourishCd.

!: wonaan,s Va Rights In MARYLAND.

The, new law as to the relation of husband
and wife" passed by the Maryland Legislature
at its recent session makes important changes
Ein the statute as it existed prior to April LIST
|of this year. By the new law the power of
married women with reference to the DISPOSE
Ffion Of their seperatel property is enlarged,
and their liabilities are Increased at the same
time 1.-The practical effect ofthe changes being,
10 the first place, that married woman hav-
ing O separate estate may convey the same by
ber separate deed. either absolutely or by way
Of mortgage 10. the event that her husband
may have been found, upon inquisition, to be
a lunatic or insane. In the next place, mar
'fied woman may be proceeded against in a
court lGsc for the enforcement of contracts
which she amayvsxecute jointly with her bus
band she may employ counsel and defend
actions or quits against her. either separately
or joiptly with her husband; and judgments
recovered in cases against husband Shd wife
upon their joint contracts shall be liens on
the property Of both husband and wife, and
may bs collected by execution or attachment
against the wife's separate estate in the same
maBneras.if she were a. femme sole. a1,,- .

t!is satisfactory to 6ud out that something
still remains to this country besides death and
taxes nTbe returns Of the census of 1870
make the total value of real and personal es-
tate 10 the United States, exclusive of the
possessions of the General Government, a.
mount to sso,Oes,5ls,5o7. If this estimate
be accepted as correct, it shows that, notwith-
standing the war, there has been a remarka-
lble increase ia the wealth Of the nation since
1860, when thefentire valuation was placed
at $Ie,l59,616, ,o6s. But from the remarks
of General Walker, the Superintendent of the
Census. which are pre6xed to the statistics of
wealth aud public Indebtedness, it becomes
evident that this estimated valuation must be
far from accurate, although no pains have
probably been spared to render the returns as
complete and precise as possible. Fl.

For Congress

We copy from the Eupaula, Ala, Daily
Times, of late date, the following communi-
cation. Capt S. FL. Dent, so highly spoken
of as suitable candidate to represent Alabama,
the State of his adoption, in Congress, is a
native of Charles county. and the eldest son of
DR.. S. W. Dent. 1t affords US great pleasure
to receive favorable reports from those who
have left us and sought homes among other
friends. Capt. Dent has distinguished him
self at the Bar of Barbour county, and should
he enter the arena of politics and be returned
to Congress, we feel confident, that with his
high moral and intellectual qualities, he would
make shining light at the Capitol, and do
honor to the State Of his adoption. Here is
| the communication referred to above:
CANDIDATE FOR CoNGREss-Mr. Editor:
| The names of two Of our prominent citizens
have been suggested as suitable candidate for
Congress for the State at large in next Falls
elections
THAT is matter in which we feel but
little interest, and care but little about; still
while the names of some are being suggested,
we beg to suggest a third. We would detract
nothing from the merit or claims of either of
those already mentioned, but we think the
claims of the gentleman whose name we are
about to suggest, are secondary to those of no
other person. Indeed we consider them, if
not superior, at least equal to those of any one
else. If unsurpassed gallantry on unnum-
bered battle fields in defense of the South if
unspotted integrity in all the relations of life;
if fine ability, rare prudence aud undoubted
moral courage, can lend any hing to the claims
of any one for that position, then his do not
pale in comparison with those of either of the
distinguished gentlemen whose names have
already been brought forward. We allude
to Capt. S. Fl. Dent, the junior partner of the
we'll known and able law firm of Messrs Bu-
ford & Dent.
"We write this without any knowledge in
timation, suggestion or even suspicion, on his
part Of such a thing and if he can be prevail
ed on to allow his name to 60 before nom
mating convention, none more worthy of con.
sideration can be found in this section of the
State. BARBOUR"
In the editorial column of the Times, We
find the following endorsement of the above
communication:
"What the writer says OF him we can hearth
y endorse and more, as from our persona
association with him at home and in the army
we think we know him as we'll, or better thar
any one else."

Clap-trap and Cant.-Invalid reader, if

Clap trap and Cant.-Invalid reader, If
you are unwise enough to put yourself outside
of any of the mock tonics guaranteed to con-
tain 'no difusive stimulant," you will newt
ably come to grief. Ask your physician if any
liquid preparation, destitute Of stimulating
properties, is worthy of the name of a tonic
He will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous
catchpennies. Plantation Bitters, the most
wholesome invigorant in the world, owes the
rapidity with which it relieves the disordered
stomach and the shattered nerves to the dittN-
sive agent which conveys its medicinal ingre-
dients to the seat of the complaint That a.
gent is the spirit of the sugar cane the most
nutritious and agreeable of all the varieties Of
alcohol. The medicinal ingredients Of the Rit-
ters, valuable as they are, would be compara-
lively useless without this distribative basis.
They would ferment and sour. Beware, as
you hope for health, of the horrible compounds
of refuse drugs in a state of fermentation which
humbugs are endeayoring to foist upon the
public as medicines.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

Though. there was a very considerable
change effected 10 the personnel of administra-
ton at the annual meeting of the Stockholders
ofzthe Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, held at
Annapolis on Monday, it is hardly to be sup
posed that there can beapy material difference
Of policy in the management Of the work. A.
2. German, Esq, Speaker of the House Of
Delegates of Maryland, was elected President,
vice Jas: C. Clarke. Three of the old Board
Of Directors were reelected, viz: Geo. s.
Brown, of Baltimore, JAS. G. Berrett, of Wash
ington, and Gilmore Meredith, of Baltimore.
The new Directors chosen were Greenbury
d.. Watkins, of Montgomery county, Daniel
s. Biser, Of Frederick, and Michael Bannon,
of Anne Arundel county. The Presidents
salary was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
per antnum. The Office of General Superin-
tendent was re-estabiished, salary $4,000, but
ne one was elected to fll the place, and the
meeting adjourned till July l. The finances
Of the Canal, which had so greatly. improved
even before the period at which the late Pres
ident came,into Office that resumption of pay
ment on the past due debt bad already been
Pinaugursted, it is. gratifying to know have
been maintained at the better standard to
which they had been brought. Payment on
the old debt has continued, and the revenues,
with the economies introduced, still show an
increasing margin to beapplied to obligations
The revenues of the Canal for the year ending
May 81, 1872, were $476,l6 Is, against
$4l7,444 IS for the previous year. The re-
ceipts over expenditures the past year were

MIR. Greeley on White and Black Schools
During his recent address to the colored
people of Poughkeepse, n. Y, Mr.. Greeley
gave them some advice on heschoo question
He said
If were black man, should not ask
for separate school, yet | should still say j
the whites choose to have separate schools
should not object to it. l should only ask
that the schools for my children should be
made as good, as efficient, as the schools pro-
vided for other mems children. Then, if the
majority chose that the minority should be
educated in separate schools, l would say
"Gentlemen, be it as you please have nc
choice in the matter" A gentlemen or lady
never discusses the question, Was it proper
to refuse me an invitation to my neighbor's
party? He or she accepts the fact, and lets
the reason take care of itself. Precisely SC
with regard to religious fraternity or associa,
tions for maintenance of divine worship.
would advise the colored race never to make
distinction, and never to refuse one. If the
whites choose that the blacks shall not be
members on equal terms of general congrega-
tions, woald accept exclusive congregations,
not as my choice, but as the choice of the dom
inaut race"

OiOcesnM Convention of the Protestant
s. Episcopal Church Of Maryland.
The EgbE-Ninth Annual Convention of the
Diocese Of Maryland (which comprises Mary
land and the District of Columbial assembled
ut Grace Church, Baltimore, on Wednesday,
Zsth ult., and continued in session three days.
We gather from the Baltimore papers that a
good deal of business was transacted but that
which is of special interest to the rural Parishes
is the change that was made in ''The Canon on
Church Extension" The Missions Committee
is no longer restricted, in their efforts to ex-
tend the Church, to territory unorganized into
Parishes and Congregations, but may extend
aid, through the Bishops, or directly, to regu-
lar Parishes and Congregations who are una
bic, for. the want Of means, either to procure
or retain the ministtations of a Rector without
aid from their more favored brethren.
!. This was chiefly brought about by the Stir
ring and eloquent appeal Of the Assistant Bish-
op, who, in his annual address to the Conven-
ton, urged the importance of not only provid-
ing for the securing to the Church unoccupied
territory, but also for the retaining that al
ready in possession but in need of aid to keep
eit from ianguishing, or from being lost to the
Church altogether.
The usual committees were elected. There
was quite spirited contest in the choice Of
"The Standing Committee, y which is annually
elected and is composed of seven clergymen.-
The committee elected, by ballot, are the Rev
Drs. Levin, Leeds, Hof, and Messrs. Chew,
Randolph. Gordon and Stryker. .-..z
