gas matter of interest we give be-
low the decision of Judges Grason, Yellott
and Waters, in constructing chapter AL ,
act of 1870, of the laws of Maryland:
To the County Commissioners
of Hartford county:
After a careful consideration of the whole sub
ject | am very clearly of the opinion that so far
as chapter AL of the Acts of the General AS
sembly of Maryland, passed at the January ses-
sion 1870, refers to the Judges of the Circuit
Courts for the counties therein named, 1t is I'M
constitutional and void, because
LIST. 1t undertakes to impose upon said Judges
duties which are clearly of a nom judicial char
acter.
I'd. Compliance with its provisions by the
said Judges might, and probably would, inter
fere with the appellate jurisdiction of said Cir
cult Courts.
Believing, therefore, that said Act of Assem-
bly, imposes no constitutional obligation upon
us, and, believing further, that no public in
terest requires a compliance on our part, but
rather the contrary, very respectfully decline
to examine Or pass upon the annexed or any
other account against Hartford county.
JAMES D. WATERS.
The annexed account of - having been
submitted to us for our approval, in accordance
with chapter AL of the Acts of the General AS
sembly of Maryland passed at the Jan. session,
1870, and the whole matter having been duly
considered, We are of opinion that the said Act
of Assembly imposes upon the Judges of the
Circuit Courts for the counties therein named
duties which are clearly of a nom judicial char
acter, the discharge of which might, and in
many instances no doubt would, disqualify
said Judges from setting in the trial of causes
between claimants against the counties and the
county commissioners. For these reasons,
without referring to the question whether said
Act of Assembly is constitutional or not, we
respectfully decline to examine or pass upon the
above, or any other, account against Hartford
county. RICHARD GRAsoN.

THE NEW POSTAL LAW.
10 the Subscribers of the Times.

BY the act of the last Congress by which the
ranking privilege was abolished, new post
office regulation will go into effect on the lst
of July next. The law allowing the circulation
of newspapers free in the counties where pub
lished, has been repealed and even the law al
lowing free exchanges between publishers of
journals is also abolished, so that all subscrib-
ers no matter where they receive their paper
will be required to pay postage, either at the
office where the paper is mailed, or at the Office
where it is received, in accordance with the fol-
lowing rates, the payments to be made quarter
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1873-06-19

The only persons Immediately affected are
those receiving newspapers in the counties where
published, who are now receiving them postage
free and publishers of newspapers who are ex-
changing their publications free.
The amount of 20 cents per annum is certain
ly no large sum to pay, but it will be absolute
ly necessary for each subscriber to the Times in
this county, to pay this sum- if he desires to re-
ceve it.

The recent visit of Mrs. Gen. Lee to
Arlington must have been one of much sad
ness, recalling precious memories of her
maidenhood days and early welded bliss,
only to realize more painfully the contrast
of the sorrowful present with the golden
recollections of the memorable past. Ar
lington was the sole and separate property
of Mrs. Lee, and when her husband, that
grand, great old. gentleman, entered the
military service of his native State, the
Washington crew ofvindictive haters, find
ing they could not appropriate by confs
cation, feloniously stole it, and now pre-
tend to justify the theft under color of a
tax-title. Doubtful of that, even, these
honest Government men have fixed things
securely. as they think, by making burial
place of that beautiful estate. Mrs. Lee
has never received any pay or compensa-
ton of any kind for this stolen property,
although it is clearly identified as being
hers. It is hard to understand how real
estate can be stolen. but if such thing is
capable of accomplishment, a Yankee is
bound to find it out, and the history of
Arlington is anomalous, as of an instance
of successful stealing.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Austrian View OF tho Russian March. J..
Vienna reports OF very recent date ex-
press the opinion which prevails in the Aus
trian capital with regard to the Russian march
In Central Asia, and its consequences, iu the
following words:
Russia is pursuing her grand aim in Asia at
once in diplomatic, military, ecclesiastical,
commercial and clviizlng pnint OF view. A
Russian proverb says, "Where dale trees
thrive not neither thrives Mohammedansm u
There may be some truth In this adage. Be
this as IL may, Russia's advances towards Cen
tral Asia and toward India excite the llvellesL
interest In VienneSe military end scientific
circles. An unintermiltent and earnest study
Is being made OF the subject. 1t is here held
that Russia is at present advancing In the
direction of Central Asia and India with the
same unfllnching perseverance and consisten-
cy with which, during twenty years war, she
not ony subjugated, but absolutely annhilaLed
or dispersed the independent peoples OF lhe
Caucasus, whose assimilation was found 10 be
lmpractIcable.
Russia's insaliable love of conquest, her far.
sightedness and perseverance, are doubtless
of d nature TO inspire alarm, while, Oh the
other hand, these characteristics are not the
less entitled to certain degree Of admiration.
In the same way as miners explore country

these examinations and explorations are set
on loot and continued without ceasing. The

southern parts of the Caspian Sea, and be-
tween the latter and the Sea of Aral, has rot

emily certain, namely, that no known power
can stop the spread of Russia's dominion and
her gradual but steady advance In Asia as far

These streams touch very nearly the Hindu
