Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The very able and highly interesting
Annual Report of the President and .Di-
rectors of this Company, submitted to
to the stockholders for the fiscal year end
ing September 80, 1872, shows prosperity
and healthfulness in every particular, in
Guiding admirable management. The
gross annual earnings of the road with its
various branches reaching out in almost
every direction, amount to thirteen mil
lions six hundred and seventy-seven dol
lars and thirty-one cents, showing an in
crease of nearly eleven hundred thousand
dollars over the previous year. Thus we
behold this great work gradually and sure
ly advancing, not only in a pecuniary point
of view, but in its progressive usefulness
generally.
The total net profits of the Company,
after deducting all expenses, amount to
5000, 202 80. We are induced to hope,
from what is said in the report regarding
foreign trade, that still greater facilities,
by additional ocean steamers, may soon be
anticipated in connection with this great
work; thus extending its vastly increasing
usefulness.
All who are interested in Baltimore's
commerce and friendly to internal i'm
provements, will peruse this able and very
satisfactory report with pride and plea

AN Annapolis correspondent states
that the body of man whose name is
given as Eugene A. Purdell, who had been
travelling through the lower section of
Anne Arundel county cleaning clocks, was
found on the goth ult., in deep gully
near the public road covered with briars.
There were three scars upon his head, one
behind and two in front. His pockets
were turned inside out, and his money
gone. He was evidently murdered and
suspicion has fastened upon negro fell
low recently released from the Penitentia-
ry as the parpetrator of the deed. The
murdered man was on his way to Balti-
more, thence to Paris. Some weeks since
the same individual, we have no doubt,
stopped for short time in Port Tobacco.
His name he said was Eugene Burdell and
claimed to be of French extraction and a
near relative of DR.. Burdel, who some
few years ago was so mysteriously muir
dered in New York.

Cyan aged resident of East Baltimore,
Mrs Mary Ann Lampley, was murdered
in her dwelling on Thursday night of last
week. 1t appears to have been deliber-
ately planned and very quietly executed
crime. In the absence of the aged hus-
band, who had gone to theatre-the first
time in twenty years-the murderer en-
tered, and having, it is supposed, strangled
his victim, proceeded up stairs and forced
the lock of trunk containing several
hundred dollars, and made way with all
the money, except 5000 in gold. No one
has yet been implicated and no arrests
made, but the detectives are on the alert,
and we trust will soon unravel the mystic
ry which enshrouds this most atrocious
crime.

MARYLAND Finances.

Comptroller Woolford has submitted
his annual report to the Governor, making
very satisfactory exhibit of the finances
of the State. We have only room this
week for the following brief synopsis:
The receipts of the treasury for the fiscal
year ending September 80, 1872, amounted
to $685., 57S 26, and the balance in the
treasury on the 30th of September, 1871,
1852, 246 80, making grand total Of
$2,6S9,9 1875 16. Of the receipts of the year,
the sum derived from ordinary sources of
revenue was 81 $4,000 SO, the rest being
the proceeds of loans The total disburse-
ments of the year amounted to 2,350,654
06, leaving a balance in the treasury at the
end of the fiscal year Of $3.50, 1T 10. There
is also in the treasury, to the credit of the
sinking fund, and applicable only to the
redemption of the public debt the sum of
$11S,750 80. A part of the debt, sufficient
to cover this amount, has been called in
The Comptroller estimates the receipts
of the Treasury for current fiscal year, in
Guiding the balance of $3.50, III 10 carried
over from last year, and applicable to ordi-
nary purposes, at $2,296, 1872 rs, and the ex-
penditures for the same period at 81 49,
416 3S.
The total debt of the State at the close
of the fiscal year was $10,911, 1913 rs. But
the actual amount of the debt for which
the State has no trustworthy assets is not
over $4,50O,0O0. During the past fiscal
year the debt was reduced to the extent of
$1,s72, 239 83, and will be reduced still fur
ther shortly by the application to that pur-
pose of the sum of $218,75O 80, now in the
treasury, to the credit of the sinking fund
making the total reduction $2,090,990

Corn for Fuel.

1t has been often stated by the newspa-
pers that farmers in the west and northwest
were bnrning corn for fuel, it being more
to the advantage of the farmers to make
this disposition of it than to exchange it
for coal at the relative prices of the two
articles. Not much confidence has been
placed in statements Of this kind, it being
supposed they were more to illustrate the
and triding value of corn;
but, Mr.. R. G. Greer, prominent mer-
chant of St. Louis, who has recently return
ed from business tour in Kansas, says he
has actually sat beside the stove and wit
messed the corn crammed into it to burn.
He says, moreover, that corn burns well,
and that it is cheaper fuel at the price
asked for it than coal is at 80 cents per
bushel

The Wharton Trial.

The trial of Mrs. Wharton for the at
tempted poisoning Of Eugene Van Ness,
was begun in the Circuit Court of Anne
Arundel county on Monday last. The de-
fence moved to quash the Indictment, and
argument upon the motion was postponed
till Tuesday. The motion was refused
Then followed a motion to quash the elev-
enth and twelfth counts (not included in
the previous notion which was also over
ruled by the Court, and exceptions taken
by the defence. Next followed motion
to compel the counsel for the prosecution
to elect one count of the Indictment to
which the prisoner should plead. This
motion the Court overruled, and the de-
fence took exceptions. The counsel fol
the prisoner then filed demurrer to each
count in the Indictment, upon the ground
that the offence should not only be dis
tinctiy charged but that there should be
statement of the specific acts constituting
the offence. This ,point was argued al
great length by the counsel on both sides
and the Court took it under advisement.

louisiana.

The people of New Orleans have looked
upon a good many strange sights during
the last seven years, and they are not
through with them yet. A recent number
of the PicGyu,ae informs us that the people
of Louisiana now see cannon planted in the
streets of New Orleans, and the United
States soldiery in possession of the halls
ofthe State Legislature. The Government
of the United States, through their dis
trict judge, DEGREES who are the political
masters, and commands their obedience by
bayonets and Calling gums. Even the
New York Herald has the fairness and the
candor to say that the people of the South
have shown every disposition to prove the
sincerity of their abandonment of the here
sy of secession, and their desire to remain
loyal to the Union, and be suffered to live
in peace. The Southern citizens have
done all that monhood will permit-all
that manhood should demand-to show
their unreserved acceptance of the results
of the war of the rebellion, and unless their
States are to become an Ireland or Po-
land, they are entitled to the same rights
and privileges enjoyed by the rest of the
Union.

President Grant has given an en-
phatic denial to the runors set afoat by
the Washington correspondents of some of
the Northern journals to the effect that
important changes were to be made in the
Cabinet. He told the agent of the Asso-
ciated Press on Saturday that he was de-
sirous that all the present Cabinet officers
should remain, and that he knew ofno one
who contemplated retiring unless it be

seat in the Senate made vacant by the E.

The Railroad Time Schedule.

We take no pleasure in fault-inding or
in making suggestions about matters which
do not concern us as an individual or pub
lie journalist. We have Railroad run
ming through the centre of our county. 1t
is great public convenience and well
calculated to become great promoter of
our material interests. No person of en-
ightened views can fail to appreciate these
facts and to do all in his power to sustain
and build up the Road as matter of pri-
waite as well as public interest. We feel
sure our people do feel deep interest and
pride in their Road. There is, however,
very general feeling OF dissatisfaction in
our community against the present time
schedule. Persons living only few miles
from Station, if he wishes to leave home
In the cars, must be up long before day
Eight to make necessary preparations and
then ride through darkness, mud and snow
to be in time. When he arrives in the
evening on his return home he has to trav-
ell or trudge in the dark. There are as yet
no convenient houses at Stations where
travellers can be sheltered even for short
time, if they are compelled to wait for a
conveyance home. We feel it our duty to
speak of this feeling of dissatisfaction
The Company and the people, we repeat,
have a mutual interest in the Road, al d it
is because we take this view of the matter
that we manifest earnestness in suggesting
a change in the time of arrival and depar-
ture of the cars. Many persons, no doubt,
prefer to stay at home, who wish to travel,
rather than submit to so much inconveni-
ence, and there can be no doubt that the
number of passengers would be increased
by change in the running time. We
offer no suggestion as to the most suitable
times for arrival and departure, but mas
much as we learn that the Railroad is to
convey our mails from the first of July,
would it not be well to couple this fact
with the question of convenience, and let
the cars for Pope's Creek leave Baltimore
early in the morning and return in the af-
ternoon2 Thus, correspondence received
by the mornings mail could be replied to
the same day.

wThe testimony before the Credit
Mobilier Committee, says the Philadelphia
Age, seems likely to reduce several Con-
gressmen from stern and peremptory de-
malls that they ever touched share of the
stock, to ingenious excuses for directly or
indirectly receiving it. 1t were premature
to decide upon the facts of the particular
cases till they are more fully displayed
The closed doors of the Committee have
now been forced open by the battering ram
of the press.

1873 THE WORLD:
1875,
before the

new political era is opening before the
country.
The negro-cycle of our politics has rounded
to its conclusion through civil war, social vio-
lence, industrial disorder, and has ended in
giving freedom to four millions of the negro
race, and the ballot to its adult males
"Theold order changeth, yielding place to new"
The politics of this new era will come home
to every mans business and bosom as never
before, being vital to private prosperity and the
maintenance OF Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold encroachments
of Federal upon State powers and of both upon
the large liberty of American freemen now as
always to be repealed with ceaseless vigilance;
not only is home rule or local self-government
now as always to be maintained for the best
guarantee of civil liberty and of national great
ness, but besides, the victories of peace which
are to give splendor to the new political era
must be won against every advantage which
even enemies of free institutions could desire or
possess.
A gigantic Debt, which the honor of the
country is pledged to pay, encumbers all our
industries with its oppressive burden. Never
theless our systems of Municipal and State Tax
alton are crude, unequal and defraud the poor
to release the rich. Nevertheless our system of
Federal Taxation is such an infamous MASTER
piece of ignorance and incapacity put to the vile
uoCo vi AlOnOpOllStS dlo ldf VI dAu tu1CfS6y
as never anywhere has disgraced modern civil
lization since Louis XIV, with his methods of
taxation rather than its amount, paralyzed the
industries of France. And along with the Ia
riff, which prohibits the export of our manu-
features, abridges the number of our industries,
cuts down the profit upon the exports from all
our farms, plantations, and mines; abolshes
our shipping from off the high seas, and flches
S5 from the peoples pockets every time it puts
ST. into the U. S. Treasury,-along with this
engine of oppression, stupidity, and fraud goes
a Currency of fluctuating value as the measure
of values in every act of domestic exchange.
Whatever parties may arise or fall, whatever
their defeats or triumphs, and whatever their
names, THE WORLD now and always will re-
main the nnfinching champion of
LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY
whereof Freedom defended and defined by JUS
tice is the polar-star.
As a Vehicle Of NeaOs, THE WORLD will spare
no expense no energy, to maintain and advance
its place in the first rank of metropolitan jour
mails. Its fresh, abundant, various, and accu-
rate news comprising the whole circle of cur
rent intelligence and literature, will be discuss
ed as becomes TrustVorthy Organ of Opinion,
with candor, with steady devotion to sound
public and private morals, with special know
ledge for special themes, and with various and
wide-reaching apprehension of the manifold in
terests of men and women in their homes, their
market-places, their workshops, and their farms.

The Louisiana Troubles.

An immense concourse ofcitizens crowd
ed the streets of New Orleans on Monday
to witness the assembling of "The Peoples
Legislature" at Odd Fellows Hall. There
appears to have been very little popular
excitement manifested but, if the reports
that reach us are to be relied on, there was
a general understanding among those pres
emit on the occasion, to sustain the Legis
lature in the assertion of its right to meet
and organize, and to protect it's members
at all hazards against any attempt on the
part of Pinchback and his faction to inter
fere with them. Itappears, moreover, that
it had been agreed upon among the citi-
zens that if the military Of the United
States should undertake to break up the
Legislature no resistance should be offer
ed. The meeting of the Legislature was
not so much for the transaction OF business,
as for the assertion of its right to meet and
the perpetuation of its status. The two
addresses, issued in New Orleans on Sat
urday, were in marked contrast. The ad-
dress of Pinchback, whom Judge Durell
and the Custom House party are attempt
ing to foist upon the people of Louisiana
as Governor, breathed nothing but threat
enings and slaughter. That of Mr.. Nc
Emery, the legally elected Governor, coun-
selled calmness and moderation. He de-
nounced the Pinchback government as ian
organized faction" but adjured the people
to conduct themselves peaceably, yet firm
ly, in the maintenance of their liberties and
constitutional rights. Gen. Emory, on be-
ing questioned as to the orders he had re-
ceived, replied simply, but emphatically,
that he was directed to preserve the peace
at all hazards; that the right of citizens to
assemble, for any purpose not unlawful,
would be respected by him, and that such
an assemblage-no matter what it might
style itself would be protected against
any efforts, from any quarter, to disperse it.
This declaration seems to have Gained
the popular feeling wonderfully, and the
effect of it was manifest on Monday in the
altered conduct of Pinchback. He no
longer spoke of dealing with the rival and
regularly elected members of the Legisla
ture as revolutionists and traitors; but in
an interview accorded to reporter of the
Pic0y,t,ae, said sullenly that the Peoples
Legislature would "be allowed to meet, to
make laws and inaugurate anybody they
pleased" and that, if they did so peacea-
bly,, they would not be interfered with
From all of which we infer that the in
structions sent to New Orleans from Wash
ington, within day or two past, are of
tenor very different from those that Pinch
back expected to receive, and that General
Grant being now convinced that he was
too hasty in recognizing Pinchback and
his bogus government, is disposed to leave
the solution of the difficulty to Congress.
