Abdication of Amadeus.

The formal message of King Amadeus
announcing the abdication of the Spanish
throne, was read in each chamber Of the
Cortes on Tuesday: He says that he has
been deceived in his calculations upon the
loyalty of the people. If, he says, the en-,
emies which beset him had been foreigners
he would have stood his ground; but they
were Spaniards, and by them the country
was kept in constant disquiet. All his eff:
forts to end the intrigues have been vain
he would not remain on the throne as the
King of party; he therefore announced
his abdication on behalf of himself and
his heirs. They, as has been announced
declared Spain Republic, and resolved
that the National Assembly assume all the
powers of the suprsne authority. The at
titude of the army and the National Guard
so far, appears to be satisfactory, and per
feet order has been maintained in Madrid

POmcrOE.

| Monday, for the first time since his ter
rible exposure before the Kansas Legisla-
ture, Mr.. Pomeroy made his temperance
in the United States Senate. Denounced
on every side, even by his own party pa
pers, he has put bold face upon bad
matter, and seems determined to brazen it
out.
Rising in his place, he alluded to what
he was pleased to call ''the conspiracy
against him. "In your presence, and be-
fore the country" he said, 81 deny the
truth Of each and every charge of bribery
and corruption made by the chief instiga-
tor of this conspiracy, or by whomsoever
made. | deny each and every statement
imputing to me any act inconsistent with
moral rectitude and correct conduct, and
declare all such statements to be totally,
abolutely, and wickedly false"
To those who know what the course OF
this man Pomeroy has been during the
many years he has occupied seat in the
Senate of the United States; how deeply
and inextBicably he has been mixed up in
almost every scheme of public plumber de-
vised by the lobbyists; how he has made
money without scruple, and in all sorts of
ways, and how, according to Senator Ross,
| he offered to sell his Senatorial vote for the
sum of forty thousand dollars to the friends
| of President Johnson, when the latter was
under impeachment-to those, we say, who
know who and what Pomeroy is, his dec
laration of innocence will be received with
lncredullty and contempt. His demand
for committee of investigation is mere
device to get snap Judgment in his favor.
| He well knows that witnesses are nearly a
| thousand miles away; that but seventeen
working days of the session now remain,
and that, as he has been relegated to pri-
vate life on the fourth of March, he would,
under any condition of circumstances, es-
cape expulsion.
If Pomeroy really wants an honest and
searching investigation of the charges pre-
ferred Against him, why did he not stay
in Kansas, and confront his accusers, in
stead of giving bond there in twenty thou
sand dollars to stand his trial, and hasten
ing to Washington to ask committee of
investigation It is in Kansas he is held
for trial. All the facts of the case are
known there. The witnesses are at hand.
If he can vindicate his conduct at all, it
surely ought to be to those and among
those whose confidence he has so long en-
Logged, and who have an interest, beyond
that of mere party politics, in ascertaining
that their confidence in him has not been
misplaced. To ask, under such circum-
stances, for a committee of investigation
| Just on the heels of his leaving the Senate,
is simply an effort to stife proof, and to
get lenient Judgment from associates
from whom he is about to part-let US

GObbIer Gobbled.

went the other night to compliment with
a serenade the family of hospitable gen.

at home, young ladies in, the boys had a

talities of the house and chatting with its
inmates. They played propriety to the

discoursed sweet music to the enjoyment

A Coach of State for a President.

An elegant "palace car" has just been
completed at the Mount Glare Works of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
designed as coach of state for the use of
the President and Directors of the road.
The establishment is one of the most ele-
giant jobs ever turned out in Baltimore, re-
t1ecting great credit upon the skill and
workmanship of our artizans. The car is
to bear the name of Maryland" 1t is
painted beautiful buff color, is mounted
upon improved siX-wheel trucks, and is
provided with patent bumpers, patent air
brakes, and other inventions calculated to
make travelling less tedious, and more safe
than ever. The interior is divided into
four apartments-the first sitting-room,
in black walnut and birdseye maple, gid
ed, with green and crimson upholstering,
a rich velvet carpet, luxurious furniture,
| lounges and armchairs, and other suitable
articles. The second compartment is fitted
up for bedchamber, containing hand
some low bedstead of oiled maple, richly
carved, hung with heavy damask curtains;
lounge covered with salmon colored silk,
| figured; dressing case of exquisite work
manship. Adjoining the chamber is
bathroom, and beyond is the dining room,
arranged to accommodate, if desired, ten
or twelve diners. The tables and chairs
are stationary, finished in black Walnut.
The kitchen, one of the most important
features of any establishment, occupies the
rear end of the car, and is complete in its
arrangements for cooking, with range and
water tanks, utensils, &c. The car through
out is of maple and walnut finish, gilded
and carved, with plate glass and splendid
argand lamps, the whole costing, it is esti-
mated, upwards of $45, ooO-a model and
marvel of splendor and elegance ofwork-
manship.-Su1a.

Change of Timetable.

1t affords us pleasure to announce this
week that a change in the timetable OF
the passenger train, between Bowie and
Popeas Creek, has taken place, and since
Monday last the cars have arrived regular
ly at.our Station-which, by the Railroad
authorities is designated by the name OF
eSalem," and by the Postofice Depart
ment, "Murdoch's, "a few minutes past
10 M. That the change will bring increas-
ed travel to the Railroad, and meet with
the approval of large majority of our
people travelling on it, we very confidently
predict. 1t only requires little calcula-
ton and little reflection to see how alb
surd it is for our people to imagine that
there was any advantage in the arrangement
that enabled them "to go to the city and
return the same day." A person starts
from Cox's Station, for instance, at 5.55
A. M. and arrives in Baltimore at 1890 A.
M. He leaves Baltimore, on his return
home, at 400 P. M.-51 hours from the
time of arrival to departure of cars at the
outer depot, which is a long distance from
the business portion of the city. Try the
experiment, or make the calculation, and
unless the person hires a 'tfast team to
carry him, he will find that about d hours

badly at midnight, and the unpleasant
rides in the Oakland if any are not sat

ties will order another train for their spe-
cial accommodation. But we hardly ex-

rs The A1dine for FEBRUARY is in every re-
spect equal to the sanguine expectations excit
ed by the January number of this remarkable
periodical, of which each issue appears to be
the climax until its successor appears. The
opening illustration is a magnificent full page
by J. D. Woodward, of Puncheon Run Falls,
which is certainly one of the most delightful
pictures which it is possible to conceive. Fur
ther on we have three smaller illustrations by
the same artist, the whole being illustrative Of

will rank with Thos. Moran, and we shall al

which the shrewdnesss and tact of the publish
ers offer the patrons of The Aldine f'An At
tack in the Rear" by J. G. Brown, a SNOWFALL
ing sketch, is worthy of that eminent artists
reputation, and it is in the exhibition of work
from the pencils of the first painters in the coun
try, that The AIdine is justifying the highest
expectations of its friends. "Bust," by VIM
M. Cary, is a powerful delineation of catas
trophe ON the plains, and the correct details
shows that this artist is no novice in the eXpe.

Newspaper Postage.

Now that the franking privilege has
been abolished by Congress, an effort is
being made, in some quarters, to abolish
the free circulation of newspapers in coun-
ties where published, and also the free ex-
change system. The Philadelphia Ledger
takes the following untenable position on
the subject:
We have never been able to see that the
privilege to newspaper publishers of send
ing their "exchanges' through the mails
as ''free" matter, is any more defensible
than the ranking privilege;'' nor can we
see any valid reason, under a general sys-
tenn which requires postal matter to be
''prepaid," why newspapers should be
made exceptions to the general rule. The
'sfree exchange system should certainly
be abolished along with the ''franking
privilege"
The Ledger is too clear-sighted journal
to be suspected, even, of obtuseness. Why
then, is it unable to see that the system OF
free exchange is no more defensible than
the ranking privilege? It knows very
well that it was not the legitimate use OF
the ranking privilege that led to desire
for it's repeal, but a fragrant abuse Of il
which had made it public burden in
stead of benefcent privilege. 1t also
knows that no such abuse can be truthful
ly alleged against the exchange SYSTEM
That system is great convenience, not to
newspaper publishers alone, but to society
at large, which has an equal share in its
benefits, through the advantage derived
from free, extended, and speedy dissent
nation of intelligence upon all subjects, to
all parts of the country. To repeal it.
would, to that extent, have the effect OF
trammeling the press, and the country
would lose, rather than gain by it.
We were not a little surprised to see
such views advanced by the Ledger, jour
nal whose course has been uniformly mark
ed by good sense and sound discretion
and we cannot but think that upon re-
view of the subject it will arrive at very
different conclusion. The matter was dis
cussed some years ago, by the press and in
Congress, but was abandoned as unWise.
So it will be again. The country is not
prepared to retrograde. Every facility at
forded to the press is needed for her adj
vancement.- - Westminster Adcocote.

8~We are glad to welcome the February
number Of Bazzous Magazine, for it is one of our
favorites, always bringing pleasure and comfort
through its well-stocked pages, which interest
and amuse. 1t makes the children happy, it
makes the ladies of the household happy, and
removes some of the burdens of life, atleast for
a time. There is always such variety in the
Magazine, that all tastes must be suited. Here
is sea story, full of wild adventure, here a
quiet domestic tale, and the next lovers yarn
for the sentimental land at some time in our
lives we are little inclined that Way, eloquent
poetry, and many other features, too numerous
to mention. BaJJou's Magazine is so cheap
that all can take it without feeling in the least
impoverished Why, it is only $l.5O per year,
and pretty little Chrome thrown in, or IS
cents single copies; sum that a person often
throws away in thoughtless moment Our
advice is, take it, and enjoy it as we do. Ad-

@rThe February number of the Eclect

W-The February number OF the Ectectac
Magazine is an exceptionally attractive issue of
of this valuable periodical, almost every article
being sufficient by itself to attract attention to
the magazine. The leading paper is a very able
analysis from the Edinburgh Re0iea0, of "The
Progress of Medicine and Surgery" and this is
followed by ''The Royal Favorites of France"
translated from the Revue des Deu9 Mondes.-
Two very striking papers-the gems of the last
Blackwood-entitled Goethe" and middle
march, " are given, together with the most COM
plete rescript that has yet appeared of Mr.. Geo
Smiths remarkable paper on ''The Chaldean
Account Of the Deluge." Other important
articles are "Dogs whom have Met" 'FPope
Plus H., u ''The Irish Brigade in the Service
of France" ''Talleyrand !" and the opening
chapters Of the new story entitled ''Too Soon, u

Decrease in the Population of France.

The census of France, taken in 1872,
shows loss in population, aside from that
occasioned by the cession of Alsace and
Lorraine The census of 1865 showed a
population in all France of 38,067, 094-
The population of the territory now coded
was 1,597,23S; leaving as the number of
inhabitants in what is now France, 36,469,-
$50. The ascertained population by the
census of 1872 was 36,102,9 21, showing a
loss of 366,955, or rather more than one
per cent. M. De Goulard, Minister of the
Interior, in his report ON the census, as
cribes the decrease chiefly to the war, next
to the ravages of smallpox in many de-
partments, and third to the decrease in the
number of marriages during the years of
the war.

The Late DR.. MarbIsry.

We announced the death of Dr. Alexan-
der M. Marbury in our last. The Prince
Georgian pays the following just tribute:
''Dr. Marbury was profound theologian,
an eminent divine, polished scholar and
a most courteous and elegant gentleman.
He has spent a greater portion of his life
within our county, and for the past fifteen
years has been Pastor of St. Paul's Parish,
at and near Woodville. To his parishon-
ers he was endeared in apre-e eminent de-
gree, and they will find it now difficult
task to fill the place he occupied so long
and acceptably. He was highly esteemed
by all who knew him, and his death, even
at an advanced age, will create sad void
in the society of that neighborhood. We
tender to his bereaved family our deep
sympathy in their affection, and the whole
community will mourn with them, the loss
of a truly good man."
