He gave big ball en- the vessel in which

'I.ittle Unpleasantne..s.., /,

Marechal Canrobert's testimony at the
Bazaine court-martial is surprisingly like
the testimony of the Radical papers upon
the late elections ''At Borny, says the
Marechel, "I was on the other side of the

on us, and covered us with she'll. There I
had the little uDpleasantness tIePetit des-

vat the Prussian artillery was extremely
violent l was exposed 70 its fire. had
again le petit disagreement to lose 8, 200
men" So the Radical newspapers are
everywhere reporting: In Maryland the
enemy rallied surprisingly and we had the
little unpleasantness of losing 1000
votes. In Virginia the Democratic artil-
lery caught us upon the other side Of the
river and we lost nearly 10000 men
through that little unpleasantness in
few hours. In New York the dead DEM

EzekiePs Valley, and in thelittle unpleas-
antness that ensued lammed Us out Of

In Wisconsin we had the little anpleas-

County Papers.

The following is what the Cincinnati
Trade List thinks of those persons VINO
complain of their county paper, and in
stead of helping to support it send off for
large city papers, and thus help to sus-
tain them A gentleman writes that his
county papsr is so poor that he has stop
ped it; therefore sends Us three dollars for
the Trade List We repeat that we don't
want subscribers on those terms. A mans
county paper is worth more to him than
any paperin the world, or, if it Is not, it
is his own fault If the county paper is
properly encouraged, it may be relied up
on for information of more value to the
peopls.in whose interest it Is issued, than
can be found in all the city papers of the
United States. No man can afford to
stop the paper that publishes the official
advertisements of his county. the public
sales, markets, court news, and other To-
cal intelligence. If the paper Is poor, the
people are more at fault than the publish
ers, for not giving it liberal patronage.
However poor the paper may be, 1t Is al
WAYS worth more than 1t costs to these
interested in its locality.

The Maryland Judiciary-Arbitrary
t Arrests.


Arrests.
On the 18th of September, twelve
years ago at the dead of night, a number
of the most eminent and law-ablding cltl-
Zens of Baltimore were arrested by mill
tary force, without oath or warrant, and
hurried to a military prison-frst to Fort
McHenry, then to Fort Lafayette, and
finally to Fort Warren. There they re-
mained immured for fourteen months, no
charge which they could answer being
preferred against them, and were DIS
charged without to this hour knowing
why they were imprisoned. Counsel were
denied them. The writ Of hGbeGs corpus,
duly issued by Federal Judge, was de-
fed or declared to be suspended four hun
dred miles from the outer edge of war. To
this outrage these gentlemen submitted
not without protest, butwith no such ex-
hibition of natural petulance as often
takes away from the dignity of suffering.
They simply felt wonder that IN land
claiming to be free and governed by law
such things could be. Twelve years have
now elapsed. Several of these victims
have dropped into the grave, hurried
thiLher by their sufferings and prlvatlons
in undeserved imprisonment. Some still
live, and it is pleasant to see how they are
one and all beloved and cherished in the
community to which they belong and on
which their pure and bright characters
shed SO much houor One of them, Mr..
Scott, died the other day, having been for

"entire confidence OF the Bench, the Bar,

NOTHING can be more short-sighted
than a disposition which some people
manifest in time of financial furry to
avoid the payment of all the debts they
can. Having the ready money in their
pockets, they will make excuse Of the
panic when asked to pay debt, and hold
on to what currency they may be in pos
session of, with 3 vague idea that they
are thereby made more secure. This
