ENLARGEMENT OF THE EGIS.

We are happy TO announce to our patrons
that on the 18th Of April next, Tile Agis will
be presented to them in an enlarged and i'm
proved form. One column will be added to
each page, which with corresponding in
crease in their length, will afford an addition
of at least eight columns over its present size.
This enlargement has been rendered ne
cessary from the steady encroachmcnt of adj
vcrtisements upon the space originally set
apart for reading matter. AS an evidence of
the estimation in which the paper is held as
an advertising medium, this is, of course, ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the publisher, who
desires to still further increase its value to adj
vertisers as well as to subscribers, by making
Tile Hlgis, if possible, q more welcome visitor
than ever before to the homes of Hartford.
To accomplish this, several new and impor-
tant features will be introduced, among which
will be column especially devoted to the in.
terests of the farming community, and CONF
plcte summary of the general news Of the
week Local affairs as heretofore, will occupy
prominent place in Tile 1H1gis, and our efforts
will continue to be devoted to the advocacy Of
every enterprise tending to developc the re-
sources and increase the prosperity of Har-
ford. 1t will be the endeavor of the publish.
cr to identify Tho Kgis with the best inter-
csts of Harford-a county that is rapidly in
creasing in business enterprise, wealth and
importance.
Notwithstanding the additional expense
attending the publication of Tile LRgts in its
enlarged form, the price will remain the same
as at present, $3.50 year, payable in adj
vance.
With this brief explanation of our plans
and purposes, we feel that we may confident
ly appeal to the kindness of our friends and
patrons to assist us in charging the sphere
of influence of The 1Hgts, and thereby increas-
ing its prosperity.
Will not every one to whom Tile 4Agis has
been q constant and we hope an acceptable
visitor, for many years past, put forth little
cxcrtion in behalf of the paper, by sending us
the names of new subscribers A little effort
on the part of our friends will add greatly to
our already large subscription list. May we
not rely upon your support and encourage
mcpt, friends?
We would also suggest TO our patrons who
do not already advertise their business that
no better or cheaper method could be found
by which to increase trade than through the
columns of Tile -Hyis. We therefore solicit
advertisements for the first number in its en-
larged form.

We would as!; "what good" is TO grow out
ofthe continued discussion, as to the propri-
city of the Executive clcmcncy having been
extended to Golden, Hesln and others That
the pardoning power has been injudciously
used at times, there can be no dispute, and
that it will continue to be so used, is just as
certain, so long as the Executive is clothed
with this prerogativc, and the human heart
continues to be so constituted, as to be in.
tlucnced by appeals to its mercy.
Would it not be the wiser course, while
the Democratic party in Maryland has alrea
dy 50 much to contend with, not to add to
its difficulties, by throwing another apple Of
discord into It's ranks, in the shape ola fight
upon the question whether the Governor was
right, or whether he was wrong, in pardon
ing these men?
Let all questions in regard to the pardon
inc power be deferred until the next Consti-
iutiona Convention may be assembled
which if we continue these miserable quar-
rcls among ourselves, will not be long defer
red for, unless the Democratic party in
Maryland VIII drop all animosltleS, OF per-
sonal preferences, and all side issues, the
Radicals will most assuredly obtain, at no
distant day, the ascendency in the State and
rive us q Constitution, in which perhaps the
parloning power will be so modified as to
apply to cases alone in which the objects of
clemency may be of the edony stripe.
We earnestly hope that the Democratic
press of Maryland will use the power it wields,
in urging upon the party in the State to bury
all past differences and that in the respec-
tive counties where heretofore there has ex-
listed so called ciques and factions, this mans
men, and the other man men, all such dis
tinctions should cease, and to present for of
flee, at the election next fall, men who can be
relied upon for honesty and ability, TO be
voted for upon their merits, and not as the
mere creatures of some particular interest or
combination. e,
If this course should be pursued, nothing
can prevent our continued control of the
political power of the State Otherwise
what can We expect but ruinous defeat
brought about by our own disgraceful dis.
cnsions?

Correspondence.
Governor Whyte and the Pardoning Power

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Port Tobacco Times of
February 14th has quite vituperative Editorial
against His Excellency Governor Whyte, for an
alleged abuse of the pardoning power. Now, l
think this petty war against our excellent Gov
ernor, by Democratic editors, is ill-timed and en-
tirely uncalled for; and is calculated instead of
being benefit TO the community, to do harm.
At this time, above all others, when cur common
enemies the Republicans are active, and have
the folly to believe that they can carry the State
election next fall common sense should teach
us that family quarrel should be avoided. And
| cannot see what our friends mean by assailing
our Governor without the shadow of q cause
l consider that his Excellency did perfectly
right in granting the pardons complained of by
our wise editors, as he was backed by strong re-
concentrations from many of our most infuen-
tal citizens. Whilst freely acknowledge the
right of editors to freely critcsc the acts of our
public officers, and show their delinquencies to
to the public, yet in the case have cited they
certainly acted without sufficient cause, and /
think little cool reflection will convince them
of the fact. There is certainly ample room for
them to wage war against the wicked machina-
tons of the corrupt Republican party, without
producing confusion by an attack on one of the
best men of the Democratic party.

required for the manufacture contemplated
will cost about $4,000, which can be raised

Samb0's Nap.
BY DOTTE.

The following little anecdote was related, IL
short time ago. by a merry old gentleman who
had the satisfaction of hearing it from an eye
witness; and however imperfectly | may relate
it now, it has the merit of being true:
One fine Sabbath morning in the summer time,
Il good many years ago, the congregation of a
little Methodist chapel had assembled, and were
listening attcntively to their respected pastor,
Brother b., who was laboring with great zeal to
instil into their minds the mighty truths ofsal-
walton; among his listeners was one old negro,
named Sambo, who had taken a lowly seat in the
doorway and being in qutea contented frame of
mind had softly fallen asleep, underline influence
OF the suns warm rays, and the parsons musical
voice, who from time to time raised his serious
eyes, letting them rest moment on the pleas
ant scene before him. the golden sunshine, the
green fields, the birds flying past, Sambo nod
ding contentedly in the door, and a flock of
sheep feeding lazily on the lawn before the door.
1t was pretty scene but ii had IN abrupt ter
mnation.
For Brother b. was not destined to end his
sermon in the undisturbed frame of mind in
which he had begun it, nor Was Samho to finish
his nap as easily as he had fallen asleep for sad
to relate, among the flock of sheep so innocent
ly feeding on the sweet green grass, there was
one, who seeing the frequent hobs of Sambo's
woolly head, came to the conclusion that he was
being challenged for battle. So marching away
from the rest of the sheep he stood alone and
waited for another signal. He had not long to
wait, lOI uONll Ncil ueiltl NSulU lHC Oltl
fellow reared up and advanced little nearer,
looking at the unconscious Sambo right tlcrccly
the while.
Now while not one of his listeners knew that
anything unusual was taking place, poor Broth
er b. could not help seeing it all, and his efforts
at self control were simply awful TO himself, for
he knew perfectly well how it would end He
had half made up his mind to have Sambo wakcn-
ed when down went his woody head once more.
The old sheep seeing that his enemy would not
retreat but most certainly meant battle, conclu-
ded he would stand it no longer, SO with anoth-
err rear, desperate plunge, he made for the dar
key, and taking him fair in the breast landed him
half way up the aisle.
Poor Sambo's first impression was that the
evil one had him, when looking up he saw the
head and horns of the fcroeious old fellow and
he roared out Justify" 80 de debbils done got dis
Niger sure" The scene may be more easily im-
agined than described.
Alas for Brother BIS. sermon, and its effects ;
but this much Sambo learned, never to go to
sleep in church door again, especially if there
was flock of sheep any where around

and the friends of the various candidates for

claims to the voters of the city for endorse

the name of Mr.. William Pinkney Hamilton,

in which he has been placed he has done his
duty fearlessly and well. The Democrats of

elected, they would find him devoted TO their
interests, and faithful and honest in the dis

February, assisted by their talented and gifted
preceptrcss, Miss Booth, under the personal SUI
pervision of the Rev. L. A. Colburn, the founder
of the school, was a delightful treat.
The selections of music were chaste and patri-
otto, showing refined taste on the part of the
projectors. The music was very fine; the bright
and pretty faces of the happy young pupils adj
ding much TO the pleasure of thcaudience, which
numbered fully one hundred ladies and gentle
men, who showed plainly what treat they were
enjoying by their frequent, long and loud APP
plause will not attempt to say which of the
pieces was performed to the greatest effect, for
fear of doing injustice TO any one of the young
