DIR. A. j. SInOOt.

Mr.. EDITOR AS we have vacancy in
our Board Of County Commissioners by
the death of w. w. Ware, Esq, and Mr..
Ware was from old Aliens Fresh district,
and as we are now entitled to Commits
sioner from said district, think that po-
sition is certainly due to our late worthy
and efficient member from this district
Dr. A. J. SMooT. No man in the late
Commissioners Court, or any member that
has preceded him, has made better mem
Der than has Dr. Smoot, and no man in the
county could be more popular or efficient
than the Doctor, and hope for the welfare
of the county, that the Doctors name will
be sent to the Governor for appointment
to this important Office of trust, and hope
for the sake of the county's welfare, that
DR.. Smoot will consent to serve if appoint
ed. Knowing the Doctor, as | do, l can
not think for a moment that he will refuse
when he sees that it is the universal wish
and desire of his countymen, and more
especially of his district, that he should
serve them. hope and believe that those
having the matter in hand will so repre-
sent the wishes of the taxpayers of this
district, as well as those of the county, to
urge upon the Doctor to accept. ,

Condition of EurOne.

Mr.. Disraeli appears to have gloomy
opinion of coming events in Europe. A
great struggle, he apprehends, awaits the
climax ofthe present silent conflict between
the spiritual and temporal powers of the
continent; and that which is now called
the agitation for home rule in Ireland, he
intimates, will be unmasked as part OF
the general scheme, the result of which he
thinks may be anarchy. While nothing
would be particularly astonishing in these
days Of sudden revolusions it must be adj
mitted that Mr.. Disraeli is specializing in
rather an atrabilious vein, and talks very
much as though he had been dreaming OF
spectres and other "chimeras dire" Eu-
rope is full of elements of strife, no doubt
but civilization is progressive, and it will
be a hard thing to produce anarchy any

IN MEMORIAM.

Died. suddenly, at "Yattan," his late resi-
dence, on Friday morning. the 2lst November.
1873, CHARLES H. WOOD, aged about AZ
years.
The writer of these few lines does not intend
or wish to write vanished or high colored
eulogy of the deceased To those who knew
him it is unnecessary. He needs no high
sounding praise to keep his memory fresh in
their minds
AS was his custom every fall, he had party
OF friends visiting him, cunning He had been
out with them the two previous days, and, on
the morning of his death, he was giving in
structions to those he had employed on his
farm what to do that day, las he intended again
to accompany his friends in their sport, when
the fell destroyer called, and, almost without a
moments warning, he was summoned to meet
his God
The death of CHARLES H. WooD will be much
regretted in his neighborhood and among his
acquaintance everywhere. He was ever kind,
almost to fault, and his heart was always
ready to beat to the wants of the needy.
Poor CHARLIE, 1 knew him well, none, per-
hapS, knew him better, and to know him well
was to love him. much. He, like most of our
useful citizens, was a self-made mantle
architect OF his own fortune-having been
LETT by his parents at tender age, and without
fortune or even the benefits of good education:
but by his steady and studious habits he ac-
quired much business and useful knowledge,
and by dinto of industry, perseverance and econ
omy, he had laid up for himself goodly sup
ply of this worlds goods. He was kind and
devoted husband, father, brother, neighbor and
friend.
1t was my sad privilege and duty to be pres
ent at his interment, and such large concourse
of persons have rarely seen on such an occa-
sion, both of white and colored, and the many
moistened eyes, fully attested the high estima-
ton in which the deceased was held by all
classes of his friends and acquaintances
Poor CHARLIE, | can say, with truth and
pleasure, that his faults were few, and his vr-
tues many; and may his good example be emu
lated by those he has left behind him. He was
one Of Gods noblest works-an honest MN.
He leaves a fond and devoted wife and two
small children to mourn their irreparable loss
May their loss be his eternal gain, is the prayer
of his true and devoted friend. CxA#@x.

important DECISION.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland has
recently made an important decision on
the subject of mortgages, which will occa-
sion some inquiry among mortgages as to
the value of the securities which they hold
for money loaned. Section Sd of article
ga of the Code provides that when lands
are sold, and mortgage given by the pur-
chaser to secure the payment of the pur-
chase money, such mortgage shall be pre-
fered to any previous judgment against the
purchaser. The Court of Appeals says
that this applies only to the vendor and
the vendee. If the purchaser borrows the
money from any third party, and gives a
mortgage to secure the payment thereof
such lien is second to that of any previous
judgment creditor. The facts in the case
decided were these: Nickel T. Wise
bought house and borrowed the money
to pay for it from the Amicable Building
Association of Baltimore, giving a mort
gage, with the usual covenants. He did
not comply with the conditions ofthe mort
gage in making the payments, and the
Building Association instituted the usua
proceedings in the Circuit Court, and the
property was sold by trustee, William G
Nickum being the purchaser. Before the
final ratification of the sale, however, Mr.
Nickum discovered that there were two
judgments on record against Mr.. Wise in
the Court of Common Pleas, which had
been obtained before the execution of the
mortgage to the Building Association. He
filed a petition praying that the sale might
be set aside. because no provision had been
made for satisfying these liens. After ar
gument, the Court passed an order setting
aside the sale, and releasing Mr.. Nickum
from all obligations as purchaser. The
Building Association contended that, I'M
der the section of the Code cited above, the
mortgage took precedence to all other liens,
and the case was taken to the Court of APP
peals The decision of the Court below
has been affirmed. Mortgages who have
loaned money to pay for premises to which
they hold the legal title, but are not the
purchasers, should take notice that all
judgments obtained against the mortgagor
before the execution of the mortgage take
precedence of the same, and are liens which
must be satisfied before they can obtain
any part of the. money realized from sale
of the property, under decree of the Court
of Equity. We have no doubt that there
are great many persons in this city who
have loaned money on mortgages whose
security is entirely worthless, in view of
this decision of the Court of Appeals

Convietton and sentence on Tweed.

The trial of VIM. NJ Tweed, in New
York, is ended, and sentence passed upon
him. His counsul could not induce any
judge to grant stay of proceedings, and
on Saturday he was sentenced by Judge
Davis to twelve years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, and fine of $12,5O0. In his
remarks previous to passing sentence the
Judge said :-"Through the whole of this
trial you remained, up to the very moment
of your canviction, as calm and serene as
though you relied upon your innocence,
when it was Overwhelmingly apparent to
all that your serenity was only that audac-
ity, that confidence in omnipotence of cor
ruption, rather than reliance upon your in
nocence."
Says the New York San:
considering that on the trial it was
proved that he had stolen million OF
money from the people who had trusted
him with extraordinary powers, this is by
no means an exaggerated sentence.
eff a few more of the great public rob
bers of our day, and especially those who
from their position in the Republican par
ty have exerted an influence to corrupt and
deprave the public mind far greater than
William M. Tweed has ever been able to
exert, could likewise be brought to justice,
there would be reason to hope for better
spirit of integrity among the people and
higher honesty among men in office"

Sad Thoughts of the Coming Winter

Sad Thoughts of the Coming winter.
Winter is gathering around u.s. already
the earth is thickly carpeted with beauti-
full leaves, and the wind goes moaning
through the leaf1ess branches of the forest
trees, singing sad prelude of the bit
ter days that are coming.
ssLeaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds
BREATH
Bitter indeed and perhaps with them will
come the most fearful suffering that has
cast its shadow over our fair land for many
years. Even now it has fallen with terri
BILE effect upon the working classes in our
large cities. Starvation has begun its
frightful work and with gaunt strides will
travel and overtake thousands and fix up
on their rigid features the seal of death.
Oh, why will man be so grasping, so prone
to pile up the glittering heap, when God
has everywhere spoken against it! In no
place OF country has uninterrupted pros
perity continued. When cities or nations
have become fabulously wealthy, just SO
sure have misfortunes in some shape OF
other overtaken them. It must be so, OF
else the teaching of the Scriptures would
be vain: HE that hasteth to be rich hath
an evil eye and considereth not that pow
erty shall come upon him" The wild
schemes and speculations in which men
have INDUCED for vain show and worldly
ambition have had its share in our public
misfortunes. The mothers silent tear and
the child's hungry wall will ascend up to
God and be formidable pleaders against
those who had forgotten in their greedy
and Unsuitable thirst for riches that there
was just God. The moment had come
for the incorruptible Supreme Equity to
look to it. The end had come; they were
impeached and their fall was decreed.

PORT ACCO:
Friday Morning, November.....28, 1878
Congress-.

SVAA9ECSSs
On next Monday, being the first day Of
December, Congress will meet, and the at
tention of the public will be attracted to
its proceedings with more than usual In
terest.
1t meets at time when gloom and de-
spondency is general throughout the coun-
try, growing out of the financial situation;
when the people, having lost confidence
in the leaders of the Republican party, are
turning with anxious hopes and longing
eyes to the Democratic party as the only
means of escape from impending ruin and
bankruptcy. Unfortunately the power to
do Is not yet in the hands of this latter
party; but the Republicans have still con-
troll of every branch of the government
!, Great promises of reform and change have
been made, since the fall elections, by the
most prominent Republican papers, and
we will soon see whether the leaders OF
that party are equal to the occasion-can
rise above mere partisan and personal con-
slderatlons and show themselves patriots
and statesmen. The first step towards
gaining popular confidence would natur-
ally be to purge their own body Of impu-
rites or the suspicion of venality. Let
them place no man tainted with the Credit
Mobilier scandal at the head of the great
committees, thereby endorsing them to
that extent. Let them next repeal the In
famous increased salary bill and put il
back where it was before. 1t is true they
cannot reach the pay of the President, in
asmuch as the Constitution provides that
his salary shall not be diminished during
his term of office; but their own is regu-
lated by act of Congress, and that they car
reduce. Let them do this, and the people
will then be inclined to judge them fairly
as to their further acts.

The Cuban Question.

As we prophesled In our last paper, there
is mot the slightest probability of war with
Spain. The Government of CASTELAR, seems
to be in earnest in its desire to do what is
right. And now that the first burst of in
dignation at the outrage to the United
States flag, and of horror at the brutal
butchery of the crew of the Virginius, has
spent itself, people are beginning to look
around and calmly consider the situation,
and ask themselves what is it all about,
and which country is most to blame, and
what is to be gained by WARE And in
this reflective mood we naturally go back
to the beginning. And we ask, is our gov
eminent SO blameless in the beginning that

the attention of our government had been
already attracted, and which before this
had been very near bringing about col

This vessel thus released by the armed in
terposition of the navy, comes boldly to
the city of New York. and instead of be-
ing seized and made the subject of rigid
investigation, is; allowed to reft, to supply
herself with provision and munitions, and
