CAUGHT AT LAST "A fellow named James +
Hanna, who halls from Richmond, Va but who
is an lrshmsu by birth, came 10 Baltimore coun-
ty about one year ago and located in the neigh
borhood OF Cockeysvlle, where he was engaged
in the occupation OF gardening He was an
oily tongued, insinuatng sort OF an individual,
and succeeded admirably in what now turns out
10 have been his purpose. Being man Of fair
education, good address, and to all appearances,
irreproachable character, he made application to
become member of several secret societies in the
county. He was duly elected and initiated 10
each, and after he progressed thus far successful
ly, his little game" was introduced--thato OF OBJ
tanning money from members Of the different Or
ders under false pretences, and further, we learn
from reliable authority, forging the name OF an
officer of one of the lodges. by which he obtained
several sums of money. These thiags coming to
the surface Hanna case was promptly consider
ed by the societies to which he belonged, and the
evidence being dead against him he was as
promptly expelled. Seeing the tnrn affairs had
taken he made himself scarce, and was afterwards
heard Of in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Chester,
Wilmington, Elkton, Woodbury. and several
other places, where he had, no doubt. been play
ing the same game. Finally be returned to Ash

Sunday evening last be was arrested and brought
to Jail at this place, where he is still confined TO
await the disposition of the charges against him.

| MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMIT.
| TEE.-The Executive Committee ofthe Democratic
party of Baltimore county, met at the Smedley
| House in this town, abou: noon on Tuesday last,
for the purpose of nominating candidate for the
Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Hon. Robert Fowler. There was quite
crowd present, all the districts being represent
ed, and it was apparent that something OF un usual
interest was about to take place in the delibera-
tons soon to be commenced. About one o'clock
the chairman, Thomas H. Moore, ESQ, called the
committee to order, when the secretary called the
roll and twenty mine out of thirty-nine members
answered to their names.
Mr.. Bosley moved that each delegation be au-
thOrized to fill vacancies from those in the room
who lived in the same district or else that each
district be allowed to cast three votes. This was
agreed to.
On motion a committee, composed of one from
each district, was appointed to suggest names to
the convention to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Andrew
Banks, of the Alb district, and Mr.. David Fowler,
of the 9th district, (son of the deceased member
were placed in nomination, and the vote stood
Banks 8, Fower4 The committee returned and
reported their action when quite spirited dis
cussion arose, and much confusion followed
Finally it was decided to vote vi0a Ooce. The
districts were then called, which resulted in the
selection of Mr.. Banks, the vote standing Banks
20, Fowler 10.
There was considerable opposition to the NOM
ination of Mr.. Banks, as will be seen by the close
vote, but by some mysterious power he was carried
through successfully.

FROM the Woodberry Gazette of 7th inst, we
copy the following items:
Skeleton E1humed One day last week, whilst
Messrs. VIM. Sullivan and VIM. McCauley were
excavating the ground on the lot of the Hampden
Methodist Protestant Church TO lay the founda-
ton of parsonage, they disinterred number
of bones which proved to be the remains OF a
human being The skull bone was unusually
thick, not less than lhree-eighlhs of an inch and
from its conformation supposed to be a negroes.
There were no signs OF a coffin, but the nails aud
screws found in the grave indicated that the body
had been enclosed in one. The grave measured
six feet ten inches. The Oldest inhabitants Of the
town have no recollection of any burial having
been made in that vicinity, aud some are OF the
opinion that it was made not less than one hun
bred years ago.

TRLAL BY JURY.

THE Central Lao Journal, of st.
Louis. observes that the jury are
Judges Of the law as well as Of the
facts in criminal trials, and that the
court is the mere assistant to the
jury, has been pushed to an extreme
limit in Tennessee and Georgia, and
perhaps in Illinois. This remark
follows a citation of Titles case in
the Supreme Court, April term, 1873.
In that case, and another, cited there,
it was held to be ground Of reversal
if the Judge should fail to expound
the law of manslaughter to the jury.
The right of the jury to be judge OF
the law as we'll as of the facts, was
one of the principles which the great
Junius advocated, and no doctrine is
now more firmly established.-NdSh.
Union and american.
A good joke is this thing of a
trial by jury! 1t is usual for the
Court to say to the jury : "Yoa are
to Judge of the law and the facts =
and when the jury retire, after lis
tening very attentively to the charge
Of the Court, they feel the heavy
responsibility resting upon them,
and after celebrating on the case,
they return with their verdict. The
lawyer who is on the losing side is
greatly surprised at the verdict, and
moves an arrest of judgment, on the
ground that the jury departed from
all law. The Court is indignant and
instantly grants new trial-almost
telling the jury that they are stupid
fools. So the jury Judges of the
law as well as the facts provided
their judgment comedies with that
of the Court. It sometimes hap
pens that the jury get full satisfac-
ton for the insults of the Court at
the time the new trial was granted.
They watch the progress of the trial,
though they don't again sit on the
case. The next trial, after listening
to the charge of the Court, the new
jury differ in their verdict from the
first one. The counsel on the losing
side now goes to the Supreme Court,
and the first jury have the satisfac-
ton of hearing the judge say: 1--WE
are of opinion that the Court below
erred in its charge to the jury"
And back goes the case for
third jury to Judge of the law
and the facts" which makes US re-
peat-tLis thing of a trial by jury
is a good joke a 5aa.~4u-

WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT
OF CONSOLIDATION?


EFrom theAsheyiIle Expositor, March 81
We are not able to answer this
question to oar own satisfaction.
It is certain that greater interest
has never been manifested In any
measure. pending before the people.
Our readers must not forget the
status of the question. In the first
place. the Legislative Committee, to-
gether with the Directors of the
North Carolina Railroad, asked the
Legislature to pass bill authorizing
said North Carolina Road to pur-
chase the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Road, extending from Morehead
City to Goldsboro, and the Western
North Carolina Road and for such
powers and privileges as would en-
able the North Carolina Road to
build the road on to Paint Rock. and
to the Western limits of the State
to Cherokee. This bill has been
called the consolidation bill. The
Legislature passed one bill, which
was not acceptable to the Road, and
a memorial was presented by the N.
c. Road asking for an amendatory
act. less Objectionable. This the
Legislature did do, and is now the
law Of the land. The act makes it
the duty of the Governor to forth
with call meeting of the StockhOld-
ers in which they might determine
on the acceptance or non-acceptance
of the consolidation act as a part of
the charter. This meeting has not
yet been called, and we cannot say
what the stockholders will do.

FREIGHT TARIFFS.

There is one thing upon which both
the farmers and the middle-men
of this section can agree, and that is
in opposition to.the extOrtionate and
dishonest tariffs of this E. T., Va. &
Ga. r. r. This thing is most de-
cidedly " monopoly" and, in the
present hands, has been carried to
glaringly illegal extremes, and we
hope that the coming State election
an unqualified promise to interfere
with It's " little game" of heads i win,
tails you lose. will be required Of the
would.be Legislators. 1t Is nice

MARCH IL, 1874
TIE NEW VOLUME.


This Is the first numberofth the eighth
volume of the GAZETTE. For six
months we have controlled it, and it
is. for our readers to say whether our
management has been acceptable or
not. OF one thing we are certain, it
has been our desire and great aim to
make it a pleasant visitor to all, more
especially to the people whose inter
ests and fortunes are centered in the
section Of country we have attempt
ed more particularly to foster and
protect; and we now desire to Tetarn
our sincere thanks to our friends who
have extended us substantial aid and
comfort in our efforts to publish a
newspaper devoted to the especial
interests of the community which we
call home. Every member of a csm-
munity is interested in every enter
prize in its midst which has for its
object the general enlightenment and
elevation of society. And it needs
no argument to satisfy every fair
mind that nothing has a stronger
tendency to this effect than high
toned free journal. Whether the
GAZETTE has come up to this stan
'dard, it is not for us to say. 1t is
sufficient to say that our motives
vindicate US, and the opinions of a
few, perhaps too Jealous friends,
lead us to believe that our labor has
not been altogether in vain.
For six months we have endeavor-
led, and we trust not without some
degree of success, to keep our read
ers posted as to the general news of
the day, and also to chronicle those
items of local occurrence which 90
to make up the history of our com
munity. 1t has been our desire to
keep our readers informed of snch
movements as had a bearing upon
their prosperity, and whatever may
have been the value of our opinion
when given, it has at least had the
merit of being honest. We have
been a pensioner Of no one, and IN
influenced by any other than an earn
est desire TO promote the welfare of
the people among whom we live.
We are gratified to say that SO far
the evidences of popular apprecia
ton we have received have been
most flattering to us. The GAZETTE
begins its eighth volume with a
larger list Of Subscribers than it ever
had before, and it's patronage has
ever been sufficient to give it healthy
life. To the people of this and the
surrounding counties, specially, are
we indebted for a steady friend
ship and patronage. We have re-
allied beyond orr most ssngHine
expectations, and it shall be our
great effort to strive more earnestly
to merit the fiattering evidences of
satisfaction. In another column we
give an outline of cur future course
to which we ask the attention Of our
subscribers and friends, with the
hope that they will still continue to
hold up our arms.
