BROKE JAIL On Monday morning last, in
the absence of the jailor who had gone to the
city, three negro men made their escape from
Rockville Jail. One of the rascals called for
water, and Mrs. Kingsbury opened the door to
hand him, when all rushed by, knocking
the lady down, and made their escape. Ano-
Their prisoner--a negro-whose term expires
on Saturday, ran out to aid in preventing
their escape-he threw rock which struck
one Of them on the head, causing the blood TO
flow freely, and then went back quietly to his
room, fearing the time of his punishment
would be increased because he had struck the
negro. Pursuit was Immediately made and
two of the rascals were caught and brought
back to Jail. Carter, who was confined on a
charge of attempting to poison his wife, made
his escape.

They cay "a short horse is soon curried"
So il is with the Adoocate. II boosted Of hay
ing as large circulation as the Sentinel, and
when challenged to test the correctness Of its
statement by count, backs out Of the con-
test, as we expected he would do. Now what
reliance can be put in paper that makes such
a statement, when It's editor fails to verify ii,
when called upon TO do So The controversy
was not sought by us, but we did not choose
to submit to the unworthy filings Of that paper
without repellng the assault. If the editor
has been placed in an awkward position, it is
his own fault, and IL is to be hoped be will
grow wiser as be grows older. The failure of
the Aduocote TO accept the challenge given il is
an admission of the correctness of our state
ment that our circulation was fully DOUBLE, If
not even greater, than the AdUocats, and we re-
peat the assertion, and intend TO prove il, not
withslanding the "backing OUT Of its editor
He lodges the issue and will not meet il, but
seeks to lessen our circulation by asserting that
numbers of the Sentinel are sent in the name
of persons long since dead. In reply to this
we answer that all of our papers are taken out
Of the postoffices-none are returned upon our
hands, while we know that numbers OF the
Advocote have been returned to its editor,
and the count Of its list could soon be made;
and, therefore, it fears TO show the list. The
people can now Judge for themselves which
has gained the advantage in this contemplate
squabble, which has been forced upon us by
the Advocate TO dsparage our circulation by
magnifying its own. fit has been disappoint-
ed in the result, let it learn hereafter to profit
by it, though the chewing of the cud" may

Congress has been in session nearly six

try. The most important business is yet to

LiBERALITY OF THE ORANGES. The different
Lodges Of Oranges in Montgomery county are
responding nobly to the call of their worthy
Master of the State, Joseph T. Moore, ESQ.,,
for aid to the sufferers BY the food in Lou
isana, and their contributions are being for
warded. Mr. Moore showed us a check for
$50 he had just received from one of the Gran
ges in the county, and we neglected taking the
name, but where all are doing SO nobly, dis
examinations would be invdious. This liher-
atty on the part of the Oranges in this county
reflects credit on the members of the Order, and
ii was a happy thought in Mr.. Moore TO make
this call, which has been so nobly responded
to, and may induce Others to 'go and do like
wise,'' remembering that such acts of liberal
ity have their reward

THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADE is on the wane.
OF doubtful propriety at its beginning, yet
every well-wsher to his race babe them God
speed. But now comes the story that on the
afternoon Of the 10th, forty-three temperance
women were arrested while praying in front of
q saloon in Cincinnati. They were warned to
desist by the officers. After their arrest they
refused to accept bail which was offered, but
were released on parole. The cases now go to
the courts. But Cincinnati is not the only
point at which the crusaders have met with
rebufs. Everyone now recognizes the fact that
the temperance crusade is failure, and the
question is asked what good has been accom-
plished. The closing Of n few saloons is but
as a drop in the bucket compared to the thou
sands that are left open, ana the evil must be
checked by other means. Almost every rene
dy has been tried, but with like results, and
so may Others continue TO be, as long as the
laws regulating the traffic in whisky are not
enforced. In many parts of the country they
are a dead-letter and openly disregarded and
violated. Woman having failed, now let man
come up to the work, and begin, not by abu-
sing the liquor-dealer, but by discountenanc-
ing The use Of ardent spirits, and by seeing to
to it that every violator OF the law regulating
its sale meets with proper punishment. BY
this means the traffic will soon be in the hands
Of those who are lovers Of law and order, and
great good will have been accomplished.

THE oo.EpuoArloN or TnE RACES.

THE CO-EDUCATION OF THE RACES.
Some of the most intelligent and thoughtful
coIored men of the South are inclined to ques-
ton the policy Of the measure proposed in
Congress for civil rights in the co-education OF
the races. The Rev. W. B. Derrick, pastor of
the Thrd-street Methodist church of Rich.
mond, in late discourse, said
"From information received, the govern
ment now contemplates the passage of u bill in
which the co-education of the races is 10 be
attempted. Now, may be frowned at by my
own people, but regardless Of frowns and con-
sequences ! will say the moment such an en-
actment appears on the statute-book the pub
lie school system in the South will receive a
blow that will cause its death, and no power

carcass. Then who will be the losers, the
blacks or the whites? ] need not tell you -
That leave you to answer and ponder over

twenty years. will look forward with gloomy
anticipations if such law is passed. Why,
how long would such system be maintained
in the fifteen ex-save States? Just as long as
it would be required to go through the forms
Of law to destroy it. Some bring the lawful
ness of the bill in question; but all things
that are lawful are not e2pedient. AS ne
grofHam with you as far as consistency will
allow me. There are to be found in the South
over one million Of coored children attending
schools. Are we prepared to furnish means
to continue their education when these States
refuse to impose taxation for school purposes,
which they will surely do ~

"a wet April and cool May is good for
grain and hay, " is an old saying, the truth of
which may be fully tested this season. April
was surely wet enough and May is too cool to
be comfortable, and thus far the prospect for a
good hay and grain crop is cheering, and
should no blight overtake them, the yield will
be abundant. The farmers, too, are busy
planting corn, many having finished, thus
making up in diligence, the time lost in the
early part of the season.
