Mayor brings forward in the complaint little

considers himself aggrieyed, he. lays special
weight upon the charges that would discredit

That the wealth of the country is passing
Into the hands of few is a very common
belief. In his address before the Maryland
Agricultural and Mechanical Association, Sen
ator Thurman cites statistics to the contrary.
The increase of farms is greater than that of
population, and the increase of small farms is
considerably greater than that of large ones.
These are important facts. and go far to just
1fy his hopes for the future prosperity of the
country.

legislative Notes.

In the discussion of the bill for the eX-
emption of the wages of working men from
attachment, alluded to in our last, we no.
tice that Mr.. Hawkins, ofthis county, made
quite spread-eagle speech. Wemean no
offense. either to Mr.. H., or the eagle. OF
course, We expected Mr. Hawkins to be in
favor of this bill. 1t will be great thing
tor him to tell his colored constituency
that he advocated 800 being exempt
They will doubtless think and believe that
he was in favor of the State or their en-
ployer being compelled to give them 800
each, and that the Democratic party was
opposed to it, and they will go for Haw-
kins again with a vim only equalled by
the earnestness with which they went for
the mule and forty acres of land, i'll times
gone by. Mind, we don't say Hawkins
will tell them so, of course not. But it
will be a good thing for Hawkins all the
same. Why on earth he should want an
exemption of 800 for them lis one of
those things no fellow can find out" We
have never believed that any considerable
number of working men wish any such
legislation, but believe this scheme is got
ten up for the purpose of benetiting large
manufacturers and mammoth corporations,
who do not wish to be bothered by being
garnisheed. The workingmen. as a class,
are too intelligent not to see that any such
law would work to them an incalculable
injury, and deprive them of credit at a
time when they need it most-in sickness
or other misfortune Under these afflic
tions with what face could laboring man
ask anybody to credit himl If sick how
could he ask doctor to attend him. or a
storekeeper to trust him? He would have
to ask it as charity or as a pauper. in
stead of on the ordinary terms of a bust
ness transaction. Lead us not into temp
tation" is divine precept, yet this law
puts before the honest work ingman Il temp
tation to defraud his creditor, which the
law ought not to do. The bill passed the
House on Wednesday; Messrs. Hawkins
and Lancaster voting in the affirmative
The Senate, We hope, will reject it.
Mr.. Brattan has introduced into the
Senate bill authorizing jury, in a case
where an account in bar is filed. to find
either for plaintiff or defendant, as the ev-
idence may justify. We are inclined to
favor this as wise and salutary measure.
As the law now stands, if man is sued
and plaintiff is indebted to him in an a
mount larger than the one for which suit
is brought, the defendant is only able TO
defeat the plaintiff 5 claim, and cannot get
a verdict in that case for the excess due
by the latter, but viii have to bring anoth
er action for the same, wherein his ulti
mate recovery would be often surrounded
with insurmountable difficulties. 1t would
be necessary to prove, very often, what
jury did allow and what they did not al
low in the first case; and how this could
be done in many cases is matter which
would perplex the most astute of our law

Who Is to be Nr. Aibert's Successor

This question is now being agitated a.
be seen by the following extract, which
We take from the Annapolis letter to the
Democratic Adrocdtf, published st West
minister, Carroll county, Md. Whilst we
think it is rather early TO agitate the ques
ton, yet it may not he out of place 10 re
mind the Radical aspirants that, accord
ing to the figures we presented just after
the late State election for Comptroller,
there is not the slightest probability of
either Of them being elected to the next
Congress. The Democrats can, and no
donbt will present candidate that will
unite and combine the strength of the par
ty next fall; and whoever it may be he
will get our most earnest support. But
for the Greeley disaffection, last year, Al
| bert's defeat would have been certain. To
show the Democratic strength in this Con
gressional District, it is only necessary to
present the figures: In 1872, Albert's ma
jority in the district was 1909. In 1878
| (when the Democrats were united). Wool
ford's majority was 1877. The Radica
vote, last year, was 30S less, and the Dem
ocratic vote 2,5SS greater, than in lS72.-
We suppose it is only complimentary
nomination the Radical politicians at An
napolis propose to make. We here give
the extract from the Adrertisers letter:
The Ancient City is not only the place
for law-making, but it is also the loca
centre of political or party influence, jus
now Party candidates are made here
during the session, as well as laws, and i
may interest your readers to understand
something of the movements upon the pc
lical chess board, here at the Capital. The
Republicans, of this Congressional Dis
trict, are canvassing very freely the ques
ton of Mr. Albert's successor. Some ar,
in favor ola denomination of that gentle
man, while others favor the nomination o
James w. Carey, ESQ.,. and some are talk
ing of Col. S. Taylor Suit, the Senator
from Prince Georges county. The chan
ces are in favor of Mr.. Albert so far as til,
nomination goes, but the Democrats talk
of presenting the name of gentleman a:
the competitor of the Republican candi
date before the people, that may lessen thu
chances of an election very materially
THAT gentleman is Col. Chapman Billings
(ley, at present Senator of Maryland from
St. Mary's county. The great popularity
Of Col. Billingsley will make him yer!
formidable competitor to any gentleman
who may be presented by the Republican
party. Col. Billingsley is one Of the mos
courteous and afable of gentlemen. and
withal, very fine speaker. Southern
Maryland, which has called so many of hel
ablest sons into public life, would have
cause to be proud of such a representative
If nominated by the Democrats. he would
in all probability, wrest the district from
the hands of the Republicans. A brie
sketch of this gentleman may be interest
