MARSHALL JEWELL.


| ~-~'<~~~
The new Postmaster General, Mar
| shall Jewell, comes of family noted
in New England for their energy and
success. He was born in Winches>
ter, N. H., October "a, 1925, but
early in life accompanied his father
to Hartford, Ct, where the greater
part of his life has been passed
His father, Pliny Jewell, was tan
ner and currier, an into the mys-
teries Of this trade young Marshall
was put to work at an age when
most boys are pursuing their elemen-
tary studies at SCHOOL, the boy worked
faithfully and well, but as he grew
to mans estate there grew up si.hin
him the desire to embark in business
on his own account. Accordingly he
learned the art of telegraphing, and
was Engaged as an operator at Roch-
ester and afterwards in constructing
and experimenting telegraph lines
between Louisville and New Orleans.
At this time, when he had reached
the grade of General Superintendent,
an offer of partnership was made by
his father, and he removed to Hart
ford, and 10 1850 began the business
of manufacturing leather belting.-
Success attended him here as else
where. His energy and skill were
felt as soon as he had put bis shoulder
to the wheel. The business and re-
putation of the house rapidly increa-
sed, wealth poured in, and Marshall
Jewell became recognized power
in the community in which he lived.
In early life Mr.. Jewell took little
active interest in politics, he was an
ardent supporter Of General Taylor
for the Presidency. When the
Republican party was originated his
sympathies were warmly enlisted in
its behalf. But it was from no work |
in behalf of a party, but rather in
acknowledgment Of his services as a
citizen, that he was nominated and
elected Governor Of Connecticut in
1869 and again in 1871 and 1872.
Thrice elected to this high Office, he
discharged his responsible duties
with universal acceptance, leaving
behind him a reputation for impair
TALLY and integrity that any man
might envy. Unexpectedly to him
self the President, recognizing the
wide reputation Of Mr.. Jewell, nomi-
mated him on the Goth Of May, 1873,
to succeed James L. Orr as Minister
to Russia. This was high position
to be attained by the Connecticut
tanner. But still niger honors have
been added. Mr.. Jewell has been
invited to seat in the Presidents
Cabinet with the portfolio of Posts
master General, thus giving the
nation the benefit Of two tanners in
its highest executive council. The
position has been accepted and the
new Postmaster-G General is expected
home in about sixty days.
In personal appearance Mr.. jewell
is one of the handsomest men Of the
day, and no one can excel him in
courtesy of manners. He has travel
led extensively in this country, |
Europe, and the far East, and has
availed himself thoroughly of all
advantages tina. offered for education
and culture.

[From the New York Bulle,in.

From the New York Bulletin
1t is useless to spend much time
in lamenting over past errors when
problems of the future are demand
ling immediate solution. We there
fore, do not care to discuss the grave
bblunders made in determining the
political status of the Southern me-
groes, after the war, when the fact
stares US in the face that the settle
ment has left on hand one of the
most serious political difficulties with
which the country has ever had to
deal. We can already see most
plainly the beginning Of social and
political disorganization in the South
err Statos. tits based upon a hos
tilily between the white and the col
ored races SO fundamental and deep
seated that there is no room for hop-
ing that it may easily die out or be
disposed Of by legislative expedients,
or, in short, take any other course
than that of deepening and strength
ening, until it breaks out into open,
passionate rupture. The negroes
feel themselves to be still under the
social ban, and yet, being conscious
of their political equality with the
whites, they resent this social ostra-
cism in every possible way not even
stopping at the use of their political
power for that purpose. The white
population, conscious of their superb
or mental and social endowmeuts,
are CALLED to the quick at their vir>
tual subjugation to the political pow
err of the negro element. They say
little, but they feel profoundly this
humiliating subsection. But they
might resolve to endure the bitter
modification, were il not that the
making and the administration of
the laws are rapidly going into the
control of this ignorant and degrad-
ed population. Though still in their
old.time homes and holding their
property, they feel that they have
no security in either, and that SO tar
as respects all that makes citizenship
precious and esteemed, they are exc
lied and despoiled. They see the
laws, offices and honor of their local
governments becoming objects of
derision in the eyes Of the world;
and they complain that their earn
ings and property are being swallow.

won the support of the negro popu,
lation.
These are the relative Positions of
the two classes in the Sonth. Their
attitude is that of econaict--confict
of feeling, conflict Of political policy,
and conflict Of interest. During the
earlier stages ofthe conflict there is
mutual forbearance; and especially
on the side of the whites, who are
more restrained By considerations of
prudence and hope; but the conflict
is nevertheless as ''irrepressible" as
was the former one between the
slavery and anti-slavery sentiment
of the South and the North respec-
lively; it is the conflict Of twowide
ly diverse, but politically associated
races, revived under new conditions
and within a narrower geographical
area, but fundamentally the old con-
test over again, and virtually as far
FROM being settled as it was fifteen
years ago. The following is q geo

main explanation of the disappoint-

North for the last three or four years

South. We have each year expect

Passage Of a Road Law for Cecil.

The Bill published in The Whtg of Feb.
2Sth, and which was drawn up by Hon.
Hiram Mccullough at the request of the
Committee appointed by the County Road
Convention, which was held in Elkton a
few days previous, has passed both houses
of the legislature and is now law if the
Governor has affixed his signature to it.
The new law takes effect from its passage.
and requires the County Commissioners to
have map or maps Of all the roads in the
county prepared, and to sell out to the low
est bidders for term of three years, the
public roads. Road inspectors are to be
appointed by the Commissioners whose
duty shall be to examine the roads after
they have been put in repair by the con-
tractor, and if in the judgment of the in
spectoIs, the roads have been properly
mended, the inspector of the district or
section over which he is appointed shall
certify the same to the Commissioners,
when the supervisor will receive his pay.
If this law is properly carried out, Cecil
county will have much better roads than
has ever fallen to it's lot heretofore, aud if
we are not greatly mistaken in our judy
ment, at much smaller outlay of money.
1t will require the present year to get the
roads properly mapped and the system in
augurated, SO that we will have to endure
the old system Of road mending with its
burthen of expense for another year.

EXPRESSION OF DISAPPROBATION.

An expression of disapprobation by the
the members of Granite Lodge, No. Al, I.
o. of G. T., of Cecil county Md, relating
to the Loca. Option bill.
WHEaEAs, the House of Delegates, of
Maryland, in the utter disregard of the
wishes of a large majority of the people of
the State, has, by its late actions in the
postponement of the bill relating to Local
Option, virtually defeated it, thus compel
ling us to live probably two (2) years lon
ger under the present odious license law;
therefore
Resolred, That in consideration of she
high moral principle they have refused to
assist or encourage, the poor miserable
drunkards to whose Indebtedness they
have added greater despair, the heart
broken wives, the beggard children and
the agonizing parents 70 whose cries they
have turned a deaf ear, and she insulted
voters whom they have refased the privi-
lege of deciding the question as to license
or no license, therefor. we the members of
Granite Lodge, Nc. n, I. 0. of G. r., of
Cecil county, Md, cannot but condemn
them for the evil they have wrought.
Resolcsa, That to those, who on the ques-
ton of postponement, veted on the side of
rirtue and humanity, We OFFER our heartfelt
thanks.
Resolced, That since our cause is Just we
feel that onc defeat is only temporary, and
to secure success we are driven to more
persistent and determined action and will
use every honorable means in our power to
elect from Cecil county such representa-
tives to the Legislature as will recognize
the prayers and petitions of their constitu-
ency in behalf of suffering humanity.

MIR. EDIToR:-f think it probable that
the defeat of the temperance bill before
the Legislature, win be benefit to our
town as it is so near dead that whisky is
the only thing that keeps it alive.
There are number of thriving villages
within a few miles that are not cursed with
the vile stuff, and in the neighborhood of
which great May of Elkton's visitors
live, and can b.sy their goods as cheap as
in Elkton, bat they can get no whisky, and
by visiting iIkton on Saturday afternoon
and occasionally through the week, they
can buy what few goods they want and
get their hides soaked with bad whisky, as
we have now an entire block of buildings
in the most business part of the town. (if
there is any business part to it, occupied
by the vendors of poison, it is said. from
three to ten cents per drink, to all classes
and conditions as well as all colors of men.
Therefore, Mr.. Editor, let us petition the
assembled wisdom of the State, now at
Annapolis, to continue the present license
law, because any change restricting the
sale of the beverage will be as fatal to the
Democratic party as it will be to Elkton.
Take the whisky out of it and there would
be no inducement for people to visit it. 1t
would, however, save the expense of keep
ing up the streets. They could be fenced
up and cultivated as vegetable gardens,
except one or two leading to the Court
House and county offices.

DEFINING IT'S POSITION,

The Democrat has as hard time defining
its position on temperance as Andy John
son had in getting his status on the Con-
stitution understood. The cause of the
difficulty is the same. Both are so per-
meated with that political cussedness :"
which used to be familiarly termed loco
.focoism, that their following is necessarily
composed in large part of political Jesuits,
political rascals, rum-suckers and black
legs. In striving to keep these necessary
elements of strength in the back ground,
and yet retain them, all sorts of shifts and
contradictory expedients have to be re-
sorted to, and this accounts for that blow
ing hot and cold SO characteristic of The
Democrat; being now on the temperance
side of the fence among the moral and
order-loyins classes, and then over among
the rum-rings, ballot-box suffers and body
snatchers Of the Aims Houses You might
as we'll try to serve God and Mammon as to
practice ocefocoism and be a consistent ad-
vocate of temperance, law and order. The
two characters cannot be successfully sus-
tanned by the same person. Might as well
give it up Democrat; failure is inevitable.

THE PRAYING LADIES AT THE STATE
CApITAL.-A delegation of ladies from
Baltimore visited the Legislature on We'd
nesday last, and presented a memorial to
the House of Delegates in favor of local
option. The paper, after some opposition,
was read, and the Hall being SO filled that
the confusion was too great for business
to be transacted the House adjourned
After singing the doxology the delegation
proceeded to one of the churches where "a
prayer meeting was held. The visit was
too late to have any influence in shaping
temperance legislation. Local option is
dead in that body, and can never rise while
the present whisky ring party are kept in
power.
The Temperance Committee have report
ed bill to regulate the issuing of license
to sell liquor in the state, requiring a rec
commentator by tho Grand Jures of the
respective counties and the city of Balti-
more, to the applicant.
