MEETING OF THE MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL
AssoCIATIoN-The regular monthly meeting of
the Maryland Agricultural Association was
held at the Office of the Society, in Baltimore,
on Thursday evening of last week, and the at
tendance was large. After the transaction of
some business OF minor Importance the Hon.
A. Bowie Davis, President of the Society, deliy-
cred lengthy address on matters of import
ance to the Society. He referred to the success
OF the late exhibition at Pmlico, but thought
1t might be made yet more successful in the fu-
ture. He said that the last exhibition had
made number of defects apparent, and until
they were done away with the affairs of the
Society would never prove great financial sue
cesses. He attributed the small attendance to
the season OF the year when the fair was held,
but as the Maryland Jockey Club claimed the
use OF the grounds after the 10th of October,
the Agricultural Society was compelled to hold
Its annual exhibition before that time. This
of course, made tho fair come off in seeding
time which was one of the busiest seasons of
the year among farmers, and they could not
neglect their work to attend fairs. He thought
che managers of the Jockey Club should modify
their agreement with the Agricultural Society,
SO that the fair could be held at more season.
able time. Mr.. Davis also considered the pre-
miums offered by the Society entirely too small
to attract the attention of persons living at a
distance, and believed that they should be
greatly enlarged before the next exhibition
He referred to a number of Improvements that
were sadly needed in the buildings at Pimlco,
and advocated the building of additional sheds
for cattle and house that could be used as q
restaurant. He referred to the poor attractions
at the late fair, and thought the only way to
make future fairs successful was to increase the
attractions and facilities for reaching the
grounds.
Mr.. Dawson Lawrence, of Howard county, |
offered a resolution requiring the President of
the Association to appoint committee, whose
duty it would be to learn if any arrangements |
could be made whereby the facilities for reach |
ing Pmlico would be increased The resolu-
ton adopted, and the committee was APP |
pointed as follows: VIM. Webster, Gen. G. H. |
Stuart j. g. Clarke, Hon. John Merryman and |
W. ?. Wiley. The committee was instructed |
to report at the next monthly meeting of the |
Society.
Mr. Davis then announced that the contri- |
buttons to the fund of the Society Tor the past |
year amounted to 81 ,495, and the manag rs of
the Society desired to secure S505 moro, IT pos
sbla, as the Society entitled to al annual |
appropriation of $4,000 from the Legislature,
providing they raised similar amount BY con-
and membership fees.
Mr.. VIM. Webster then announced that the
Committee on County Roads would hold spe-
ca meeting at the rooms Of the Association on
the 10Th of the

ATTACHMENT OF Horses AT PIML1Co.-Hugh
Gaifney, the steeple-chase rider, who was EN-
ployed during the last meeting at Pmlico by

TUE CIrY's WATER SUPPLY.-The most i'm
porlant question relative To Baltimore city 5
water supply is the securing of the permanent
supply from the Gunpow Ter. The first step IN
this direction was taken on Monday last, by
the Mayor of the city, in announcing to the
City Council that the ordinance providing for
the issuing of bonds by the city not exceeding
the sum of 1900, 900 had been approved by the
voters of Baltimore at the late election and had
become law. The Water Board will begin at
an early day the preparations for this import
ant work, for which they have adopted the fol-
lowing plan, which, however, may be slightly
modified in SOME particulars
There Will be an air line tunnel or conduit
starting at a dam on the Gunpowder Falls, at
point near Mine Bank run, and running thence
to two reservoirs located in the valley back of
Monticello. From the reservoir to the city the
water Will be conveyed in pipes or conduts to
the eastern limits of the So me- Mr.. Robert X.
Martin, civil engineer of the Board has made
the following recommendations Herewith
which have been pproved by the Water Board
He recommends that the conduit shall be of
l7O0OO,OOO gallons capacity in "a hours, which
will take the whole stream except in extraordi-
nary flows, at which time it would not be adj
visable to pass through it water that must ne
cessarily contain large amount of mud and
sediment, and which would be emptied Into
the receiving reservoir.
In order to eXpidite the construction of this
conduit he proposes to sink some thirty shafts,
about 900 feet apart, along the entire line,
which shafts may be used atterward as VENT,
lators. AS the Gunpowder is much affected after
a rain and remains so a considerable time res
ervoirs of large storage capacity, which he pro-
poses to construct in the valley back of Monte
bello taking in all the valley to Herring Run
proper, which will give water surface of I04
acres and excavated to depth of 80 feet, will
give capacity of about l,OOO, 900, 900 gallons.
Looking to future exigencies other sites for stor-
age reservoirs can be obtained as required as
the city is approached after passing Montebel-
10 Heights. Mr.. Martins estimate of the cost
exclusive of the land damage is as follows:
For dam and lake at Gunpowder.... $500, 900
For Conduit Line. ..................... 1,5O0 900
FOR reservoir. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 500. 900
For Flpe lines to city limits............ 100000

The "Guilbord case" at Montreal, nvolv
ing the right Of an excOmmuncated person to
be buried in consecrated ground, has just been
settled by decision of the English Privy
Council 1t appears that burial III the cOuse
Grated portion of the Catholic cemetery at
Montreal had been refused to the body of
printer named Guilbord, because he had died "a
member of the Canadian Institute" which
had been excommunicated for keeping in it
library books condemned by the clergy. The
position of the clergy was sustained by the
Canadian courts, and an appeal was taken to the
Imperial Privy Council, burial in consscrated
ground being demanded as civil, not as a
religions right and there was no alternative but
to put the body in the place reserved toI
suicides aud other unconfessed malefactorS.
The decree Of the R.Vn Council, that GulIbord
be buried in holy at sd, he being . entitled
to ecclesiastical rig, was received Dy cable
on Saturday.

Politics.

We clipped the following extract from
an exchange q week or so ago, falling at
the time TO note the name Of the pa
per, which has escaped our memory:
We hold that II Is tho duty Of every
individual TO take an active part In
politics. The interest of every man de-
mands il. If You want good govern
meat you must elect good sensible, hon.
est meu to Office, who will legisale for
the general good of the people. you
do not take interest enough in politics
TO vote intelligcntly and patriotically
you deserve to be made rs II were
"hewers of wood aud drawers Of water"
If you, the people. took more interest
in the selection Of the rulers OF the
government thon what you do, there
would be comparatively few corrupt
men in Office, and they would be told to
stay at homo as soon as you could have
a chance to speak TO them through the
ballot. box. Every man should feel n
great interest in the politics Of his coun-
try, aud know for himself what action
to take upon the great questiohs that are
up for discussion. ii Is duty every
good citizen owes to himself postcrity
and his country, TO keep himself posted
upon the political issues of the day /;
10 foster those men aud measures that
are best calculated TO promote the vel.
fare aud happiness OF the people.

Plain Talk,

The New York Times ranks as one OF
the foremost Republican prints, and its
utterances always attract attention both
from friend and foe. For some weeks
past ii has been talking to its own FOLKS
in pretty plain language, and in its issue
of the 30th ult. We find the follow.
ing:
Senator Carpenter, while disclaiming
any intention of making speech, began
a very able speech yesterday, on what
we regard as one of the greatest qucs-
tions of The day--namelv the condition
of Louisiana. lie declared that he new
er could reflect on the position Of affairs
in that State "without mingled emotions
of shame and sorrow"--and we can not
doubt that every intelligent man who
has examined the subject fully shares his
feelings. Look at il in what way you
please, no one can deny that, under such
Government as ours, il is terrible
scandal TO have great State kept in
the condition in which we see Louisiana
at this moment There are other South
crn States which are more or less unfor-
tunatc, but perhaps Louisiana is the
most TO be piticd. Senator Carpenter
warns the Republican party that it can
not march under this heavy load much
longer For this he wiil probably be
accused OF iuiidelity to his palty--for
we have apparently arrived al that very
dangerous point at which any honest
and independent criticism Is regarded
us an act of treachery. There are fool
ish members of Congress, even in our
own State, who think that II is the duty
of public man or n public journal to
register the DEGREES Of clique, and if q
word of protest is uttered they threaten
to ostrac;ze the man or abolish the jour
nal. We should like to see these idiots
begin their work-at.prcscnt, everybody
of any sense can see that the Republican
party must deal with the great question
of the day in frank and liberal spirit,
or be destroyed. Absolute freedom of
opinion has hitherto been the salvation
Of the Republican party. Some Of our
own precious Congressman would turn
over n new leaf, and go in for unlimited
despolism. We know what will be
their fa,e--but we are not prepared to
believe that the Republican party will
consent to snare il.

English RAILWAYS,

A Summary Of the railroads of the
United Kingdom oC Great Britain and
Ireland contains some marvellous
figures. The entire cost Of construct
ing the 1914 miles of railway complet-
ed on the lst Of January, 1874, was five
hundred and twenty millions pounds
sterling, (S2 2,S6OOO0, The number of
passengers transported in the year 1872
was 423000,000, of whom 3S000,00O
were first class, 100000 second class
and 3l3,000,000 third class. The total
expenditures were f52,000000 (or $780,
000,000) The remarkable statement is
made that the locomotive in the course
Of the year travelled more than 10000
600 miles, as far as from the earth to the
sun and back again.

From the Union and American.

The mere possibility that division,
among the Opposition might turn the
State over to the mercies of Radical,
ism next November, makes it more I'M
perative that we look well to the county
elections Ia August. Unfortunate as
another Brownlow State government
would be, we cannot but believe that
to install the same spirit Of corruption
and oppression in the county offices,
bringing the evil to every mans door,
would be still more unfortunate. With
a State government in sympathy with
them, The excesses Of the corntry cor.
moranis would know no bounds. They
would play ducks and brakes with the
credit Of The counties all the more reck-
lessly under the certainty that the peo-
pie could MT possibly repeat the folly Of
allowing tlnm TO slip into office Sc
cond time. Many OF our counties feel
the need of hallway facilities. Enter
prises of this kind, broad gauge and
narrow gauge, Ere numerous. The new
school system isin embryo. Under these
two pleas of internal improvements and
education, the credit of the counties
would be strained to the cracking, for
Mineral Home" projects and other ex-
travagances profitable only to the rings.
The real need for such expenditures in
many localities, readers it the more ne
cessary that the people make sure of
electing honest men in full sympathy
with the taxpayers to handle the coun-
ty funds and guard the county credit.
Many contend thatwe are in a transi-
tion state; if SO, there is the more need
for prudent pilots at the helm. Even
"Old Money-Bags" is Immediately in
terestcd in this matter. Every man who
has invested his surplus in county bonds
is directly interested in preserving the
counties from the curse of Radical rule.
If the people are in earnest for honest,
cheap government, they will not, while
10 improve the State and the
country at large, forget their own local
affairs. Look to August as well as
November.

Cheeky.

The Hartford Courrant says: When
Gen. Lee was scattering around in Penn
sylvania, ten years ago, last summer,
Pittsburg got "scar't," and threw up
some carth-works and other fortifica-
tions, TO stop him, if he should try to get
into the smoky city. The rebels never
got within some hundreds Of miles, but
the thrifty citizens have lad the cheek
10 ask the government to pay for the for.
tiications they erected to keep them
of, and their claim rejected Overland
over again, has just been presented TO
Congress again. If this sort Of thing
is to succeed, Chicago thinks it will be
in order for her to file little bill for the
cost of suppressing the Camp Douglas
conspiracy Of 1864, rs her fright was
better founded, and the government,
since II established the prison, was re-
motely responsible for the conspiracy.
