OPEN charges were made during the
last session OF Congress that improper
influences were used to secure the re-
concentrations on which nominations
were made by the President for certain
po.tofices in the South. Notwith-
standing these charges the soiled nom"
nations were confirmed by the Senate.
Then the President withheld the com-
missions of the officials, osteusibly for
the purpose Of looking into the matter.
1t is now announced that the commits
sions have been signed, and will be de"
livered. When was the examination
made? What facts were disclosed Z
As it is, the whole matter looks like a
trick 10 cheat the public, when it ID
supposed the whole affair has been 'or-
gotten. -.

The Clarksburg Sun calls the atten
too of certain Radical Editors in this
State to the fact that there is in the
West Virginia code a law passed by a
Radical legislature on the 18th OF Jan
uary 1856 the first section OF which
reads as follows:
1.-THE Circuit Courts and Supreme
Court Of Appeals OF West Virginia are
alone authorized to interpret and deter
mine the constitutionality OF any act
OF the Legislature Of this State
The law provides for the punishment
Of any officer who refuses to obey and
execute "any act Of the legislature" nc
matter what may be his private opinion
as to It's constitutionality. 1t was made
by the Radicals for a special purpose
but has peculiar application at this
time to the position assumed by the
Governor and his friends.

The Baltimore Sun celebrated its
thirty sixth anniversary last Saturday
by issuing it's ordinary sheet with a
supplement, and presenting to each Of
its readers a fac-simile OF the frst;issue
Of the paper. 1t bears date May II.
1887 and is about one fourth the pre-
sent size of the Sun. The latest news
from New York was then two days
old, and the latest advices from London
were dated April II, thirty-six days
prior to publication in Baltimore. The
Baltimore Sun has kept pace with the
progress OF the times and the newspaper
OF to-day is as far superior to that o.
1887 as the telegraph is to the sailing
vessel as a carrier Of news. The en-
terprisiDg Publishers, Messrs. ABEL q
Co., have fairly earned the splendid
success they have achieved.

ARKANSAS.

Some iutimations OF political trouble
in Arkansas have been telegraphed TO
the press for several days past. The
gist of the matter, as we gather it from
the correspondence Of the New YORK
Herald, seems to be this: Governor
BAXTER, elected last fall as a Republic
can, has 80 conducted the affairs OF the
State a. to offend Senator CLAYTON and
others of the intense Radical school,and
accordingly the latter are scheming ior
the Governors removal from office, IN
order that the Lieutenant Governor, V.
V. Smith, a plant tool OF CLAYroNs'
may take his place. A majority OF the
Judges of the Supreme Court are in
sympathy with the scheme and the
programme is as follows: Information
Of the illegality Of BAxrRR's election is
to be filed before the Supreme Court by
the Attorney General; the Court is to
issue a writ OF quo 'sarranto; the Chief
Justice is to issue an Injunction, and
pending the trial, v. V. Smith would
be acting Governor.
The Governor is preparing TO resist
this summary deposition from office,
and, acting under legal advice and sus-
tanned by the sentiment of large ma
iority OF the people Of the State, pro-
poses to hold his position, by force o.
arms if necessary. He has re'organized
the militia OF the State and placed his
friends in command. aud, on last FRI
day, the State Arsenal was placed un-
der guard, the Adjutsnt Generals office
was converted into an armory, and
Governor BAXTER held the State House,
no person being permitted to enter with
out his permission.
An awkward defect in the effort to
nut the Lieutenant Governor in the
Governors place seems to be that if
BAxrEx's election is illegal, 80 is sNIrH's
and 80 also is that Of two of the su-
preme Judges who are concerned inthe
scheme. They were all elected on the
GIANT ticket last fall, BAXTER having
received several hundred votes more
than either Of his colleagues. There
was q repor. soon after the election that
the legality Of the returns would be
contested by Joseph BRooKs' the t'oer,
al candidate, but this seems to have
been abandoned, and We now lind the
CLAYTON men endesvoring to Dust the
man Of their own selection. Arkansas
politics are "peculisr."

The New York Times, in an able cdi-
torial, reviews the Business Outlook, "
Il subject i'll which the general public
has deep interest ut the present time
of commercial dullncss. The Times
throws some light upon the darkness.
1t takes hopeful, rather cheerful view
of the situation, and thinks that we have
passed the crisis of our financial troubles,
and that we are gradually merging from
an unprecedented era of wild spccula-
ton and entering upon the " hard pan y
basis. The healthy condition of our in
dustrics, it thinks, almost insures us
against any real financial distress. Our
present enormous production of coal and
it's use in productive labor alone proves
this. 1t is not manufacturers but mer-
chants who complain !; our productive
industries are fourishing despite the
severity of the money pinch during the
failure of country banks to afford any
thing like their usual accommodations
to their customers. There has been no
distress in any of our large manufac-
turing towns, except in making their
collections, and some of our industries,
iron, for instance, have been prosperous
beyond precedent. There never was an
hour when the country created anything
like as much substantial wealth us now,
and this is the only foundation of real
business prosperity.
On the whole, then, it seems probable
that diminished stocks in the fall will
secure buyers that, unless there is an
extreme demand from Wall street, the
money market will not be as ruinousiy
close rs it has been during the past
three years ; that Europe is more likely
to send money here than drag it away,
and that we can hope for IL fair business
season-a harbinger of better things to
come.

STBURG, AIEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND SATURDAY,

DECREASE or THE RTRTN HI TE.
Gen. Walker, Superintendent of the
Census, read II very interesting paper
before the session of the National Social
Science Convention, ut Washington,
from which we CLEAN some facts of great
general interest. The population of the
country in 1870 fell some four millions
below the estimates of Wasson, DeBow
and others. The loss by war is COM
puted to have been about $50, 900; the
check to the colored population about
800, 900, and the loss by the action of
causes affecting habits of life among the
people, and not incident to the war,
100000. The principal of these
causes are the restrictions of the mar
rying class i'll numbers, the procrastina-
ton of marriage, and the decreasing
number of births after marriage. Ia
1900 the population of the whole coun-
try will be between sixty-nine and
eighty-folr millions, with the chances
i'll favor of from scvcnty-thrce to seven
six millions. There are ten States, i'll
cluding New England and Michigan,
i'll which the birth rate is small (uvcr-
aging one person under year old to
each forty-two persons of all ages
fourteen States where there is one such
child in thirty-thrcc inhabitants, and
thirteen States in which there is one to
every thirty-one inhabitants. The
Southern and Western States are most
prolific. But this diminished birth
rate is moving westward in spite of it,
however, the increase ill each decade up
to 1900 is estimated ut twenty-three per
cent. But the colored population will
not increaee at this rate, and perhaps
their increase will not exceed ten per
cent. From 1S60-70 the colored people
increased less than ten per cent, and
the increase has been less in those parts
of the South where the staple crops of
cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar are
raised i'll the largest quantities. This
is because they are leaving the planta-
tons and congrcgating i'll cities. The
Germans are increasing faster than the
Irish 10y birth the probability being
that the proportion of foreign born to
the whole population will decrease with
each succeeding decade, while those of
foreign parentage will increase. There
has been very great increase of traders
and persons engaged in transportation,
us compared with farmers and domestic
servants. The increase in manufac-
turcrs i'll ten years was 2S per cent,
while the manufactures themselves had
increased 50 per cent. showing that 81
per cent. of the gain was due to i'm
proved power and machinery
