while the latter were protecting the new hands,
was brought before Recorder BOnnstedt IN
the morning giving the name OF Martin Car

option Of sending MIN to the State Prison. but that
as 1t was Carm0dys first offence he would only
sentence him to fifteen days. Imprisonment in the
County Jail. the 'longshoremen seemed TO
be dispirited ct this action, and there
was no trouble afterwards. All the steamship
companies except the Bremen employed their old

their places worked hard all day for the pay
offered by the Bremen company, and returned un-

Maryland and Virginia Boundary

RICHMOND, VA, March l7.-Mcssrs. Isaa,
D. Jones, James u. Dennis and John w
Davis, the Maryland Commissioners appointed
to confer with the authorities of the State o.
Virginia relative to the boundary line question
arrived here this morning. About noon they
visited the capitol and presented their credcn,
tials to Gov. kcmper.
The Governor at once sent messenger to
the two Houses of the General Assembly, APP
prising them of the presence of the Maryland
Commissioners. The two Houses passed a
resolution providing for the appointment of a
joint committee to confer with the Maryland
ers, invite them to occupy privileged seats
upon the floor of the Houses, and extend all
other official courtesies
This committee, consisting Of McSsrs. Flu
ney Of Accomac and Motfctt of Rockingham,
on the part of the Senate, aud Alessrs. CughilI
of Amherst, Guild of Richmond, and raliferro
of Gloucester, on the part of the House, had
an interview this evening with the Maryland
commissioners, and agree to recommend to the
General Assembly that the two houses meet in
Joint session at one clock tomorrow (Wcducs-
day) and invite the Maryland commissioners
then and there to lay before them the subject OF
their mission.
It's understood that the Maryland commits,
sioners have to propose, first, that until the line
is definitely settled, the vatte-Davldson line
be adopted for temporary purposes; second,
that all questions in dispute be submitted to ar
duration. These propositions meet with much
favor among members, though General ii. A.
Wise, the chief of the Virginia commissioners,
is opposed to them.
