The Freedmen's Aid Society of New Eng

Judge Dent, brother of Mrs. President
Grant, died in Washington at o'clock on Sun

eral months. His funeral took place on We'd

Hon. Chas. A. Otis, Mayor of Cleveland,
Ohio, has issued proclamation warning the
praying women not to modest people in the ex-
ercise of their lawful rights, by making dis
turbances in the streets or elsewhere. The po-
lice are instructed to see that the provisions of
the proclamation are carried out
There are 100000 women in America that
belong to Oranges. They exert telling in
| fuence there. Then there are-who can tell
how many thousand praying bands that are
engaged in converting drnking-saloons into
places of worship. Would it cost these folks
| any more trouble or chagrin to vote? And
would their influence at the ballot-box be less
potent than it is at the grange or at the drink
shop?
The Democracy of the Legislature held
caucus meeting on Thursday evening of last
week to settle the passage of the revenue bills
of Comptroller Woolford. 1t seems that these
oh ~, fba
system of the State and they are or were so
cum bersome and unintelligible to the practical
and experienced legislator and fnancier that
it became necessary to put the party discipline
into vigorous force to insure their success
| Hence the meeting. Mr.. woolford was on hand
to put his measures through, The caucus de-
cided that the bills should be passed
The inhabitants of the Golden State are
becoming tired of their Chinese neighbors.
Senator Hager on Friday of last week present
| ed the resolutions of the California Legisla-
ture protesting against the further importation
| of Cinnamon into the State. Mr.. Hager made
a lengthy speech upon the subject and offered
resolution asking conference of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations with President
Grant, for the purpose of devising means by
which the traffic in Chinese shall be prevent
ed. 1t is claimed that the meanest class of
Cinnamon find their way to that State and
crowd out better immigration from Europe.
Mr.. Merryman has asked leave to with
draw his bill making it obligatory upon rail-
road companies in Baltimore county to have
fsgmen stationed at railway crossings The
reason given was that the railroad companies
disliked the bill. We suppose that Mr.. Mer-
ryman will be vastly wiser than he is before
he will be able to have law passed that takes
money out of the pocket of railroad company
without encountering the opposition of said
road The proposition of Mr.. Merryman to sub
stitute a bill that left the matter in the hands
of the County Commissioners, dependent upon
the application of the people in the commu-
nifty, is unwise This would practically leave
the matter where it is
The ninth Parliament since the ascension
of the throne by Queen Victoria assembled on
Thursday of last week. The Queen delivered
her speech, which had the merit Of being short.
The marriage Of her son she deems one Of the
most i'm portant events since she last address,
ed Parlia ment. Under the constitution the
Prime Minister can dissolve Parliament at the
dictation Of the Sovereign. Parliaments are
elected for seven years but can sit longer at
the pleasure of the Queen or be dissolved soon
er. Mr.. Gladstone dissolved the late Parlia-
ment in order to test the strength Of his adj
ministration before the people, but had the
modification of seeing his supporters defeated,
which unseated him and put B. Disraeli in his
place.
