ANNAPOLIS.

A supplemental act to the act, has pass
ed the Senate providing for the defence of
officers of registration and Judges of cleo
ton indicted in the United States courts,
authorizing the Governor to employ two
counsel in each case for the defence if he
deems it expedient.
Governor Groome has vetoed the bill au
thorizing Hashabiah Haines, of Carroll
county, to settle his accounts as guardian
to VIM. L. Haines, in the Orphans Court
of Baltimore city, and to deliver over the
estate to his ward. The Governor thinks
that the provisions of the present law are
founded upon the soundest principles OF
public policy, and imperatively require, to
avoid the inextricabe confusion and I'M
certainty which would result from making
special laws for special cases. that no such
precedent be established.
In the report of Mondays proceedings
at Annapolis the Correspondent of the
american gives the following summary of
the last liquor BILL
Speaker Hines has in hands of the priD-
ter. a bill in relation to liquor traffic, pre-
pared by himself in conjunction with Mr.
Seth, which will shortly be brought to the
consideration of the House. 1t changes
the present license for the sale of liquors
in quantities of not less than pint, not to
be drank on the premises, from $lS to $50
The license of ordinaries are increased by
the bill fifty per cent, and of the oyster
houses from $50 to $75. Applications for
licenses must be made to the Circuit Court
four weeks before the term, to be endorsed
Al. hoo
or if in the city of Baltimore, six. The
application must also be published spec-
fled number of times in the newspapers of
the vicinity. 1t also provides for an appro-
priation of ten per cent of the licenses,
and twenty per cent of the forfeitures to
the Maryland Inebriate Asylum. This, it
will be seen, is a politicians bill, scarcely
a tub to the whale; not worth spending
the time of the legislature on.
A strenuous effort was made in the House
of Delegates to revive the odious law
taxing mortgages, but was defeated by an
amendment offered by Mr.. Hines, the
Speaker, exempting mortgages. which was
carried by vote of "a yeas to 26 nays.
This vote reveals the alarming fact tn at
very large minority of the members of our
legislature have not the first idea Of the
principles of taxation, and are wholly un-
fit for the places they fill.
Among the local bills passed by the Sem
ate, is one incorporating the Gland I'm
provement Company of Cecil county"
We would like to know something about
this new company, who can furnish the
information?
The Senate bill protecting fish in Elk
river has passed that body; also bill au-
thorizing the Governor to employ two
counsels to defend officers of registration
and judges of election for depriving Re-
publicans of their votes, and receiving
illegal Democrat votes.

Elkton Building Society.-This old and
successful Building Association has COM
menced its eighth year, and on the second
Saturday night in April will hold its ninth
annual election of officers for the ensuing
year. On Saturday night last the Society
sold $1,000. The first lot of $500 was
knocked down at 81 per cent premium.
The second lot of $1,000 brought 81 per
cent premium.
John T. Brown, DR.. c. NJ. Ellis and
w. J. Jones were appointed auditors to
make a report of the financial condition of
the Society at the annual meeting, and the
qualifications of the Committee for the
important duties assigned them, is a war
ranty for a clear and exhaustive statement
of the business of the Society.
While the affairs of the Association have
been most successfully conducted since its
organization Oh the sound principles of
mutually, as we'll in matters of penalties
where members by remissness or inability
have allowed their monthly dues or interest
to fall behind, indications were manifested
in the Board at the last monthly meeting
of relaxing the rule which has proved SO
beneficial, heretofore, of levying the usual
fines for delinquencies. The rule which
has SO long been established in the Society
should he continued, as any relaxation at
the present>date would be direct infrac-
ton of the spirit of mutually, which has
been observed since its organization. The
law which has been applied to delinquents
is plain in all it's provisions, which are as
follows:
"Any stakeholder neglecting to pay his
monthly dues, interest, &C., shall in the
discretion of the Directors, forfeit and pay
ten per cent per month for each dollar of
Indebtedness so long as the said indebted
ness shall continue
The same officers with three or four e1-
ceptions, have been compelled to do duty
for the Society since its organizations, be-
ing reelected at every annual meeting
While this speaks well for the ability of
the members thus honored by the majority
of the stockholders it is, notwithstanding,
an imposition of the many on the few.
Although the Office of Director is one of
honor, having no salary or perquisites of
any kind attached to it, as also that of
President and Vice President, yet there is
a great deal OF responsibility and care
attached to them, and it is an imposition
which saddles the transaction of all the
business of the Society year after year on
nine members, who render service without
reward. 1t is no more than fair that the
labors of the Society should be divided
among the members as well as the profits
and every member having the requisite
qualification, be compelled to serve term
as director or other officer.
1t has been found good business rule to
rotate officers in all mutual Associations
but the Elkton Building Society has been
fortunate in it's Directors, the vigilance
and care for the interests of the Society
never having been relaxed, in single in
stance, that we are aware of, which doubt
less, accounts for the imposition which has
been practiced upon them by the majority
of the stockholders.
