TEXAs.-Texas is once more under the
rule of Democracy. The Supreme Court
of the State declared the law under which
the late election was held unconstitutional,
but in the face of the decision the Demo-
Gratis took possession of the government,
installed their Governor, convened their
Legislature, and at once commenced a
general sweeping out of every officer sus-
pected of Republicanism. The offending
court was ignored, new one formed, COM
posed of the members of the old Confeder-
ate court, and two new members added,
both formerly in the Confederate service.
Legislation has been had, the effect of
which will destroy the free school system,
change the jury laws, and practically dis
franchise the coored citizens. Texas
offers splendid field for Democratic re-
form, and from the appearance of things
the reform will be one far from encourag-
ing to the friends of progression. The
Democratic element is composed of some
of the worst spirits of the late Confederacy.
Desperate men. fortune hunters, fugitives
from justice, with few bad men of I'M
limited ambition to lead them, make up a
party that will stop at nothing to effect
their purpose. We sincerely hope that
our fears in relation to the State will not
be realized but as things look at present
our hopes have but little to cheer them.
We trust that the Republican party in
that distant State will not lose heart, but
keep up an active organization ready to
take advantage of anything that may pre-
sent itself. Freedom is progressive, and
even Texas, as dark as it may appear to
day, must i'll time surrender to its reign.

ANNAPOLIS.

A general local option Bill which had
been referred to the committee on Ways
and Means, was favorable reported from
that committee on Tuesday last. Mr..
Stewart, of Baltimore, moved that the
bill be printed as amended, which prevail
ed, and motion was then made that the
bill be made the order of the day for Tues
day next. Mr.. Stewart thought it ought
to take its regular course. Mr.. Nicode-
mus sustained Mr.. Seth's motion, and
thought the great public interest involved
demanded this special attention of the
House. The yeas and nays were demand
ed, and Tuesday was fixed for the consd-
Grafton of the bill, by a vote of forty six
yeas to forty nays. This vote has frighten-
ed the opponents of the measure and they
express fears that the Legislature will pass
local option law for Maryland
A bill has been reported to the House to
regulate the measure of fertilizers. 1t
specifies that cart load of manure shall
contain twenty bushels heaping measure
with penalty of five to ten dollars for
violation of the law.
A general law to tax dogs, which was
before the Legislature, and passed the
House at an early day in the session. has
been found to contain some provisions
which conflict with the Constitution.
A bill has passed the House to appoint
special police to enforce the wild fowl law
in Hartford and Cecil counties, we have not
ascertained the provisions of this act; also
the road law for tins county which was
published in Tile Wig. of February 21st;
also fixing the per diem of the sheriff of
this county while attending Court.
The Senate passed the House BILL on
Tuesday, to provide for the defence of off

inducement to abuse the law.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The nomination of William a. Simmons
to be Collector of the port of Boston was
confirmed by the Senate on Friday by a
vote of 81 to II. The Democrats present
voted for the confirmation, which was op-
posed by Senators Boutwell, and Sumner,
and many other influential Republicans of
Mass. 1t is bad sign when combinations
of Presidential appointces have to be
pulled through the Senate by Democratic
votes.
The House Committee on Agriculture
has reported adversely on the bill for the
exchange of cotton seed with the Egyptian
Government, for the reason that the Egypt
ian seed does not suit the climate of our
Southern States. Some years ago large
quantity Of the Egyptian seed was distri-
butcd by the Agricultural Department in
both in quality and productveness. The
Commissioner of Agriculture says that, as
far as known, no country produces cotton
OF cotton seed equal to ours. Last year
the khedive of Egypt, through the Agri-
cultural Department, bought twenty tons
of our seed, and it was shipped to him 10y
a house in South Carolina.
In Congress the Centennial Bill hangs
fire deplorably. The Centennial business
is a grand self admiration affair, which
will prove humiliating laughing stock for
the rest of the world. There is no practi-
cal benefit to be derived from it. The
institutions of the United States are work
ing like leaven in all the governments and
nations of the world, and require no Cen
tennial self loritication exhibition to invite
the nations of the earth to look upon and
extol our greatness. They will be more
likely to ridicule our vanity.

TAKE A NEwsrAPER.-A Mr. Langdon,
in an address before an Agricultural So
ciety in Alabama, said among many other
good things:
I" Every farmer in the South should take
and read regularly, one good political
newspaper, and one first-class agricultural
paper, or magazine. 1t will cost him not
more than five dollars year; and there is
not a man who tills the soil, even though it
be but one acre, who cannot afford to pay
that amount for papers that will furnish
information worth to him, in cash, ten
times that sum, besides furnishing intel
lectual food to himself and children
There is not a man who does not throw
away every year, in whisky, tobacco and
other superfluities, several times that
amount. 1t is useless for any man who
has the means to support Il family, to say,
as we often hear it said, that he cannot at
ford to take q newspaper He might with
as much propriety, say, he cannot afford to
live, and voluntarily lie down and die
This advice applies equally well to every
farmer, wherever located, and is particu-
larry good advice for the farmers of Cecil

"A strike for higher wages of all the

end of the road on Wednesday morning.
About $50 men struck at Waverly, and
they captured all the trains that reached
the Lehieh Valley and Erie junction,
switched the cars, set the brakes, and re-
moved the brake wheels. The mails, how
ever, were not detained. and everything
was done quietly and deliberately.

men, it might refrain from sneering at
them. The street is Il place as appropri-
