MIR. KNIGHTS BILL,

We have received a copy of bill brought
before the Senate, by Mr.. Knight of this
county, the object of which was to break
up the sinecure business in our Legislature.
The number and pay of the officers were,
by Mr.. Knights bill definitely named for
both Houses, and when extra force was
found to be absolutely necessary, to conduct
the business, the President of the Senate
and Speaker of the House were to appoint
the necessary extra force and their pay was
to date from their appointment. Under
the present arrangement of the Democratic
politicians if any officer is appointed the
last day of the session he draws pay for
the whole session.
The Senate at present has twenty -one of
these employees in its service at wages
from S. to $40 day. Twenty-six men,
bers compose the Senate of Maryland and
they have twenty one walters ill their en-
ploy paid out of the State treasury.
In the debate on the bill, Senator Will
liams, Of Calvert county, asserted that
there were seventy officers in the Legisla-
ture at salary of $4,000. A correspon-
dent of the press in speaking of the debate
on Senator Knights bill says:
cit moreover was developed in the
course of the debate that all the Demo
cratic Senators were represented among the
officers, except Messrs. Claggett and Brat
tan. Senator Phelps gave some reminis-
cences of former sessions when they could
pass four hundred bills session with but a
few officers to keep up the dignity of the
Senate. The bill is of no value (as it can
not bind the next Legislature(, but to put
in some definite shape the feeling against
this great scandal of the ring. Nobody
outside of this Committee on Claims, and
few of the party managers know how
many officers there are. A number OF
them never come near the State House,
numbers live in distant portions of the
State, where they remain. 1t is said that
quite a number will be sworn in this week,
and will draw pay from the beginning of
the session."
To correct this monstrous thievery of
the Democratic ring managers was the
object of Mr.. Knights bill, but it has not
the slightest chance of passing, and if the
bill were passed by the present Legislature
it could not bind the next. The only safe
guard the people have in a law making
body is in sending honest, competent men
to the Leg islature.

TIE NORTH CAROLINA EARTHQUAKE INTER-

From the Charleston Ne,cs and Courier.
SPARTANBURG, S. c., March 23.-For
rumors in circulation respecting some I'M
usual disturbance in the mountains in
North Carolina, about fifty or sixty miles
from this place. Last week Professor
DuPre, of Wotford College, accompanied
by the senior class, who are studying geol-
ogy, and the Rev. Mr.. Oliver, editor of
the Orphans Friend, went up to make in
quiry and observation on the subject
They returned this evening, and l have
Just received from the Professor an account
of his trip.
The weather unfortunately was not fav-
orable, being generally cloudy and rainy.
The reports from that region have been
greatly exaggerated. Many of the people
residing on the mountain and in the imme-
date vicinity have been much alarmed,
but only one family has removed. There
is some foundation, however, for the SEN
sational reports which have had so wide
circulation. The party referred to had
personal and satisfactory proof, as well as
the testimony of numerous credible wit

mountain people term them. The sounds
resemble the report made by blasting in
deep quarry or well-at first explosive,
and then verberating like the sound of
thunder as it dies away in the distance.
The shocks are most sensibly felt at the
top of the mountain, though in a certain
line they are also felt lower down, and
sometimes even at the base. The shocks
are not violent, and produce sensation
described by a mountaineer as "guaver."
The seat of disturbance is short chain of
mountains about mile long, the principal
peaks of which are known as Stone Noun
tain, Bald Mountain and Round Mountain.
This little chain lies between the Hickory
Nut and the Swananoah rivers. The agi-
tations are chiefly at the Stone Mountain.
Professor DuPre does not think that these
disturbances indicate volcanic eruptions,
nor does he feel able to account for them
satisfactorily. He was impressed with the
uniform agreement of testimony among all
the mountain residents with whom he con-
versed. They all agree that The first ex-
blossoms and vibrations were heard and
felt on Tuesday, the 10th of February.
These were repeated on the following Sun
day. There are sometimes two or three
on one day, while on other days there will
be none.

"a Pitman's Phonog has hitherto
been considered the shortest, most perfect
and rapid system of Shorthand Writing
1t, however, has several and important de-
fects: being difficult to learn on account of
its numerous rules, with an array of ex-
ceptions to them, and from the fact that
several sounds have multiplicity of signs,
which are apt to delay and confuse even
an experienced writer who has to think
which form he should use when he ought
to be free from all thought except as to
what the speaker is saying. These defects,
and the necessity of more simple and
uniform system, have led to the perfection
of new system known as Edeography,

pleasant ~riting) which is thirty per cent
shorter than Pamans. The whole princi

10 Governor Groome gave dinner party
on April list. So many of the members of
the House attended that that body was left
without quorum. The Sergeant-at-A Arms
was sent for the absentees, and found them
in the middle of the wine course. The
officer summoned the members to repair to
their places in the House. Questions diff
cult to determine were raised. The Ser
geant-at- Arms and his posse retired to
another room to discuss the objections, and
the Governor sent in a bottle of champagne
and oysters to assist their deliberations.
After waiting for some time the MEM
bers waiting in the House grew tired and
sent a messenger for the Sergeant-at- Arms,
who appeared and was sent back to the
Governors Mansion with posse commit.
tatns and the memt ers were touched with
the official mace and ordered to leave but
they delayed long enough to finish their
desert, take coffee and pick their teeth.

LOUIS AGAssIZ, TEACHER.-This was
the heading of his simple will; this was
his chosen title; and it is we'll known
throughout this country, and in other
lands, how much he has done to raise the
dignity of the profession, and to improve
its methods. His friends, the friends of
education, propose to raise a memorial to
him, by placing upon a strong enduring
basis the work to which he devoted his
life, the Museum of Comparative Zoology,
which is at once collection of natural
objects, rivallng the most celebrated COL
leetions of the Old World, and school
open to all the teachers Of the land.
1t is proposed that the teachers and
pupils of the whole country take part in
this memorial. and that on the birthday of
Asassiz, the 2Sth day OF May, 1874, they
shall each contribute something, however
small, to the TEACHERS AND PUPILS ME-
MORTAL FUND, in honor of Louis Agassiz;
the fund to be kept separate, and the in
come to be applied to the expenses of the
Museum. All communications and remit
tances for the Teachers and Pupils
Fund - of the "Agassiz Memorial" may
be sent to the Treasurer. JAS. NJ. BARN

THE SANBORN INVESTIGATION.

The investigation by r committee of
Congress at Washington OF the famous
Sanborn Contracts to collect the Internal
Revenue taxes on SUGGESTIONS and distribu-
tive shares, is revealing gross ignorance
or ineompetency in Secretary Richardson,
that is humiliating. The sooner the Presi-
dent gets rid of such cabinet officer the
better it will be for his own credit and for
the country's interest. 1t was evident
when he commenced paying specie in five
dollar silver instalments, that Mr.. Rich
ardson was ninny; but in the light of
these rascally Sanborn contrac is. the Sec
rotary shows in even worse plight than
that of fool.
