Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1873-08-08

here, Cation, Armstrong and Goldsmith,
charged with completely in the recent ely
mont disturbances. They were brought
down from Washington, by Sheriff Martin,
under acquisitions, for their surrender, is
sued by Gov. Whyte on the authorities of
the District of Columbia. Mr.. R. H. Eide
len, their counsel, is about to apply for
writs of ho6e0s corpus, with a view to hav-
ing them released on bail until November
Court, and has notified the States Attor-
uey that he will ask of Judge Brent an
early hearing of the application. We be-
aieve the States Attorney will interpose
no objection to admitting the parties to
bail, as to keep them in jail until Novem-
Der Court would be unnecessary and con-
siderably increase the expenses of the
county.
Mr. Bloomer, who has heretofore offici-
ated as Conductor of the mixed, freight
and passenger) train of the B. & P. r. R.,
on the route from Pope's Creek to Bowie
has resigned, and Mr.. Fisher is the new
appointee.
One day last week young man by the
name of Levy, from Baltimore, while on
visit to the family of Mr.. Thos. K. Ching,
near Newport, was violently thrown from
horse and had his right arm broken by
the fall The hurt was of a very painful
character, the fracture being in the elbow
Joint. He was taken to his residence, in
Baltimore, where he is receiving success
full surgical treatment.
We publish elsewhere the authentic re-
port of the proceedings of the Convention
which assembled here on Tuesday last for
the purpose of sending three delegates to
che State Convention in Baltimore. We
have now only to remark that the Conven-
ton was presided over by a very fine old
gentleman with all proper fairness, cour-
tesy and dignity. Two very fine young
men acted as secretaries, and a very fine
body of district delegates were present to
Before the balloting began two very fine
gentlemen were selected as tellers, and
then some very fine voting was done. The
result was the selection of three very fine
fellows to represent the county in the Bal
timore Convention. Mr.. Compton was on
hand and gave very fire speech. In fact,
: the whole affair was very fine thing and,
Mr.. Wells, you will do quite fine thing
too by publishing this very fine report and
say the Times man did it.
E. Last week, in noticing the proceedings
of the Ladies' Society of William & Mary
Parish, we were in error. We should have
said Mrs. John T. Cotton had been select
ed President and Mrs. NICK. Burroughs
Vice President of the Society, and not that
their liege lords had been assigned to the
duties of these respective positions. La
dies have their rights, and in recognition
of their rights in this particular we are
pleased to make the correction in this in
stance We would further state that the
ladies will have everything very nice and
very abundant at their festival and we in
sist that their right to look for large at
tendance and liberal patronage on the
coming festive occasion is entitled to the
most favorable encouragement.

.. Mr.. Editor The season for closing our
public schools and presenting to the pub
lie those exhibitions and examinations of
which both teachers and pupils are so
proud, is one of interest and amusement to
a large class of our citizens. We have at
tended many of these youthful exhibitions
in our county, but have seldom, if ever,
attended one that seemed to give more
universal satisfaction and intellectual, en-
joyment than that of the school under the
charge for the past year of Mrs. Sallie B.
Pennington, at Newtown. Under her tu-
tllage, the school has taken high grade,
as shown by the long and thorough exami-
nation, which surprised parents and dis
interested spectators Then followed the
exhibition, which was to great extent
new and unique in character The schol-
ars thirty odd in number) all acquitted
themselves in a most admirable manner.
To mention the names of any, even if we
knew and could recollect them, would be
doing injustice to the rest Suffice it to
say, all acted well their part. At the close
OF the performances by the pupils, Capt
Pennington arose and addressed the audi
ence on the subject of ''the education of
Southern youth, and entertained them for
oyer half an hour with one of the most ap-
pfopsiate and arg4mentative speeches we
have ever heard on that subject. 1t was
delivered with force and animation, and
listened to by the audience (about two
hundred in pqmber) with the greatest
possible attention. We heard but one o.
pinien, and that was a hearty approval
At the close of the Captains speech an
effort was made to increase the salary of
the teacher, and in about twenty or thirty
minutes about fifty dollars was raised
We were much gratifed at this, for we
earnestly believe she deserved all of it and
more: We hope the next year may be both
pleasant and profitable to teacher and pu-
