Mr.. EDIToR-Please permit a taxpayer
through the columns of your paper to ask a
few questions:
Have we Mayor and Council? Ishould
rather judge not from the present condition
of our streets and crossings.
During last week and after the snow
storm not few of the payements of the
sire ets, Tor sidewalks, if you choose,) had
never had the snow removed from themr
and consequently when the thaw came
they were simply impossible. If the May
or and Council can wade or swim over the
crossings or across the street, probably their
wives and daughters cannot, and it is there
fore shame, when few dollars would
suffice with a little attention, to at least
clean the mud from the crossings. AS for
the snow remaining on the sidewalks l
knoao there has been an ordinance passed
compelling (if enforced) the property hold
ers to remove the snow within reasonable
time after fall of the same.

New Countrywide following cx-
tract from Cumberland letter appeared
in the Baltimore Sun of Monday:
CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan 3, 1874.
The question of another new county in
Western Maryland is being agitated, and
a meeting in favor of the project was held
at FrOstburg a week or so ago. A series
Of resolutions relating thereto were adopted
and the chairman of the meeting author
lied to appoint committee to prepare
memorial to the Legislature. and also to
call another meeting, when he should
deem it advisable, for further action. II Is
proposed to form the new county out OF
the four upper or mining region districts
of Allegany county and Grantsville dis
trict Garrett county, with Frostburg for
the county seat, and to call the county
Alpine. As the constitution of the State
prohibits the formation of new counties
unless containing four hundred square
miles of territory and ten thousand inhab-
itants, and as the proposed county would
not have tn requisite territory nor allow
that amount to remain in Allegany county.
although both would have the population
required, the formation of the new county
coull. not be authorized save by constitu-
tional amendment submitted to and ratified
bv the voters of the whole State. AS
Western Maryland gained three members
of the Legislature by the formation of Gar
rett county, which, under the Circumstan-
ces, (having the constitutional population
and territory, and willed by vote of the
inhabitants thereby could not be objected
70 by the remainder of the State, it is not
likely that the eastern counties will allow
of another gain Of three members when
they can preuent. There will, however, be
. determined effort to effect the project,
and the new senator from this county,
THos. G. McCULLOH, Frostburg man.
will work hard for it."
This is the highest style of Cumberland
argument. Eastern Maryland!' as if that
somehow regal section has but to issue its
edicts and all is acquiescence. Its politi-
clans were smart enough to foist a new
county, made out of two others with an
aggregate of over 1850 square miles, upon
the people of the State in 1867, and it is
now hoped by Western Maryland men that
they may be smart enough to retard West
ern Maryland's equality by denying
ma new county out of an area alleged to
he little less than 1900 miles, and ola
hundred fold more Importance to the en-
tire State.
This correspondent, doesn't go far for
his nomenclature He is satisfied with pub
fishing pitiful oddity with all the gravity
of asserting fact. Nobody here recog-
nizes in the term, "Alpine," anything
suitable or sensible.
His promise for Mr.. MCCULLoH is
equally ill.founded. This gentleman will
represent his constituency throughout with
impartiality Ifhe "works hard it will
certainly be for the general good OF all
to whom he knows his services due.
