consequence the most important question
now agitating the Legislature is, who is to
be the next Governor? The Hon. John Lee
Carroll, whose. name was prominently men
toned in that connection, having withdrawn
entirely from the canvass, the field is left
clear for the only two candidates now be-
fore the Legislaturc-Hon Henry w. Ar
cher, of Hartford, and Hon. James b. Groome.
n member OF the House, from Cecil county.
OF course the sympathies of Hartford county
are entirely with her candidate, Mr. Archer
whose sterling abilities, great experience
high moral character, and dignifed but cour.
teous manners, render him pre-emnently fit
for the honorable position of Executive of
Maryland. NO one acquainted with Mr.
Archer could doubt for q moment his ability
to cope with and master any question that
could possibly arise while he occupied the
gubernatorial chair. Maryland needs lust
such man, at this time, at the helm of State
The longpending question of boundary lines
between our own State and Virginia will soon
come up for settlement. 1t has been agreed
to leave the matter to the arbitrament of the
Governors of the two States, and with an
Executive less experienced and less talented
than Mr. Archer, it is feared that the interests
ofour own State might suffer; especially when
it is remembered that the negotiations on the
part of Virginia will be conducted by General
Kemper, one of the foremost statesmen of
the country.
TIE CHANCES.
AS the matter stands at present Mr.. Arch
er's chances seem to be decidedly the best. lie
has arrayed on his side, ii is asserted. Hon
John Lee Carroll and his friends, and will
thereby receive in the Senate two votes at
least to his competitors one. In the House
MIR. Groomc has gained some popularity
among the younger members, but as an off
set to this, Mr.. Archer has on his side nearly
the entire vote of the Eastern Shore of the
State, and almost every Democratic member
from Western Maryland He also numbers
among his friends and supporters nearly eve
ry one OF the most eminent men of the State,
all OF whom are anxious TO see the position
honorably filled by gentleman fully compe-
tent to succeed the late able, distinguished
ed and popular Executive
Mr.. Archer's friends are sanguine as TO the
result. Hartford county has never had a Gov
crnor if we except Governor Bradford. who
although native of Hartford, was not in any
manner identified with her people.
One important point that the city press
seems to have overlooked in speaking of Mr..
Archer, is the fact of his distinguished servi-
ces as member of the Constitutional Con-
vention that met in 1867. The opinion has
been more than once expressed by members
OF the present Legislature, who served with
HIM in that Convention, that Mr.. Archer
possessed clearer mind, deeper penetra
ton, and more enlightened judgment than
any of his compeers.
The question will doubtless be set at rest

Our Representative in Congress.

MIR. EDITOR: 1t is with just pride that we
appreciate our talented representative in Con-
gress, the Hon. Stevenson Archer for he is
using his best endeayors to promote the honor
ana dignity of our nation. For the last six
years Mr.. Archer has opposed all the ncfurious
schemes of the enemies of our precious liberties
with marked ability, always voting in the right
place, In opposition to the party whose only
aim appears to be the elevation of the African,
and to keep control of the National Government
In the hands of the Radical Republican party,
and such has been Mr.. Archer's gcntlcmanly
bearing since he has been NJ. G., that even the
Radicals respect him, although he opposes all
their mischievous schemes.
Stcyy's late speech on the Naval appropria-
ton bill, is an eloquent and mastery appeal in
favor of the honor and dignity of our country
and justly entities him to the thanks of a CRATE
full constituency. He is working to have our
gallant navy Ghe right arm of our national de-
fence placed on footing in some degree COM
mensurate with our country's greatness, instead
OF the poor crippled condition that it is now in.
We have the best naval officers and scamcn in
the world, and give them the right kind of YES
sells, properly armed, and other nations would
soon learn that they could not insult our flag
with impunity, as some of them lately have had
the tcmcrlty to do.
THE CONTRAST.
While Mr.. Archer and some other gallant spir.
its are working for the honor and dignity of our
country, am sorry to say that there are those
IN Congress that are using their talents to bring
the intelligent Caucasian to q social level with
the Feejee Islanders, or what is still lower, ode
sons oh ole Dahomey.' For see that Benny
Butler, whose fertile brain is always connecting
some new deviltry, is now trying by his Civil
Rights bill to elevate himself to q social level
with the negro, which he will find rather hard
task. But would say to Benny that he need
not try to bring the Caucasian to a level with
the African; for that little thing has been vetoed
by the Eternal fiat of the Great Jehovah, who
has in His infinite wisdom seen fit to create the
Caucasian race far above the African, in point
of intellectual capacity. And if Benny under
takes TO change the DEGREES of the Creator, he
will find it harder task than to turn the waters
of the Mississippi into four foot ditch, in which
project somebody says he failed.

The Hartford County Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society.

AT last, after years ofexpectancy, the signs
of the times are that Hartford is to have an
agricultural society, with an annual fair and
all the advantages to be derived from the
friendly competition of our farmers in pro-
ducing the best of everything that orr coun-
ty raises. The mass meeting last Saturday
for the purpose oforganizing this good work
was the best we have ever seen assembled
beneath the Court House roof Every dis
trict in this county was fully represented by
its most substantial and energetic citizens,
and some of our neighbors of Baltimore coun
ty were also there. The meeting was princi
pally composed of those who seldom leave
their homes except upon business, and who
are noted as live, progressive farmers and
mechanics. The deepest interest was taken
in the proceedings, which, as reported by the
Secretaries, we publish in another column.
The preliminaries being thus arranged, the
next point is to secure the requisite funds to
carry out the object proposed. Canvassers
have been appointed for each district, and
they should lose no time in getting to work.
A little effort on the part of each canvasser
will bring success. The price of shares has
been fixed at $40 each and every farmer and
business man in the county should take pride
in becoming stakeholder. We are confident
that in very short time the institution will
not only be sclfsustaining but will be ena-
bled to pay dividends to stock. holders. Let
every man interested be up and doing.

BEL AIR, January 27th, 1874
Mr. Editor: In looking carefully and inn
partially upon the present political situation
of our country, it appears that the principles
of Democracy, (Which were created with
MANI and which have been smothered so
long, are about to rise ph@nix-like, from
their ashes, and with voice of thunder,
which will be heard throughout the land,
proclaim her birth anew. The Republican
party has gained TO such dizzy height that
it is impossible for it to stand In reaching
she overreached, and in ovelTeaching will
fall. The daylight is not far distant Its
faint gimmering is now and then seen strug-
Cling to pierce the heavy clouds which over
hang it like a shadow. Twill soon break
through in all its glory, and show to an as
tonished world its justice and its might.
God speed the day when the grabbing, grasp
ing, narrow-minded men who rule over us
shall be set aside, and their places filled by
men of abilities and character. learn that

The New STATE TREAsUREH-Thc Hon.
Barnes Compton, who has been elected by
the Legislature Treasurer of the State of
Maryland, for the next two years, is native
of Charles county. Speaking of his election
the Port Tobacco Times says;
a 1t is a well deserved tribute to the pcrso-
hal worth and party fidelity of Mr.. Compton.
His political opponents admit his entire quail
itication for the place, as well from his abili-
ties and attachments as his moral standing ;
yet there is no one whose defeat would have
given them more pleasurc-at least the poll
ticians of his own county. 1t was with the
hope. of his defeat, as much as that of the
Democratic party, that they so combined
and worked to carry our county at the last
election. And why simply because, in
political matters, he is frank, uncompromis-
ing and fearless in the expression of his po-
liiical opinions, and in the condemnation of
what he conccives to he wrong in their
principles and political conduct We con-
graduate Mr.. Compton upon his success,
and rejoice that the State will have in him a
capable and faithful officer

INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF AND DUNE
We have received the Fifth Annual Report
of this State institution for the education of
the deaf and dumb located at Frederick city,
Md. Ninly-nne pupils have been in atten-
dance during the past year, of whom five are
!, from our own county. Their names are: John
Ayres, of the 4th district; George A. GALLON,
George Thomas Hays, Jr, David Kennedy
and John 8. Kennedy, of the I'd district
The institution is almost entirely support
ed by State bounty, and applicants for admis-
sion must obtain from the Orphans Court
or County Commissioners Of the counties in
which they reside certificates that the parents
or guardians are unable to educate or sup
port them, which certificates will entitlc them
to admission into the institution
Ofcourse education is mainly impaired bv
means of signs, but considerable attention is
also given to articulation or "lip,rcading."
1t is remarkable that children who cannot
hear and have never spoken, may be taught
to speak clearly, and to interpret every word
that may be spoken by simply observing the
motion of the lips of the person with whom
they are conversing, One of the most inter-
csting cases of this kind in1hC institution is
the following:
"a little boy who was totally deprived of
hearing at the age of two and who conse-
quently retained no knowledge of language
or of sound. who could not utter syllable
has learned to speak with wonderful de-
gree of clearness as well as to read from the
lips with considerable ease. He reads sim
pie language enunciating with such distinc.
ness as TO be understood by strangers with
out much difficulty. His Improvement has
been so marked that I feel confident of his
being able, after further instruction, to carry
on conversation with any one whom he may
meet"
The affairs of the institution seem TO have
been judiciously managed. The principal is
Charles w. Ely, A. NJ, to whom application
for admission must be made
