TO-DAY Is the anniversary of two great
events. The first blood Of the Revolution
was shed at Lexington one hundred
years ago, and the first in the war of the
Great Rebellion in the streets of Balti-
more fourteen years ago to-day. The lat
ter event, in consideration of all that fol-
loved, lis scarcely less important than the
foymer. TT. Sumpter had already fallen.
Virginia had just passed the ordinance
Of secession and vote for State Con.
vantion called for similar purpose was
about to be taken in Maryland. The
Sixth Massachusetts Regiment was cr-
dered TO Washington and their right to
pass over the soil Of Maryland denied.
General Ben Howard was made
commander iof the State militia
and an armed resistance determined.
Early In the morning several
companies from the country reported at
the Maryland Institute. While stacking
xrras gun fell, and the leg Of William
Trimble was shot of. This accident is
believed to have caused the first blood OF
the rebellion. What followed on that
day resulting in the defeat of the Sixth
Massachusetts,, and the wild scenes in
the streets Of Baltimore, are familiar
10 all.

The most complete slaughter of fruit
ever known in this region was made by
the terrible freezing Of Friday and Satur-
day nights. Probably not live pear,
peach, cherry, or plum bud remains, and
a TO apples only two or three OF the
htest varieties, like Joniten, escaped.
As 30 the small fruits, there will be
blackberries, raspberries, currants and
strawberries, though the latter fruit is
greatly damaged in this immediate
vicinity and southwark. The Kentucky
bills usually ripen strawberries about
ven days earlier than they appear at

CONGRESSMAN WHEELER, in his talk
xbout Louisiana affairs, states some en-
couraging facts. He thinks the compro-
mise has been a complete success, and
that all parties will continue to carry it
ouL in good faith. The Legislature met
quietly and without excitement, and a
better feeling prevails Than at any time
since the war. He attributes these good
results to the influence Of the substan-
t1al business men who have been the suf-
fhrers by the bad management the State
has endured and who have at last began
to exert themselves to bring about a
batter condition of things.

The determination Of the Mexican
authorities to remove the Texas marau-
ders to Monterey for trial is received
with indignation on the frontier. 1t is
held that no American will dare 60 there

course is a virtual acquittal of the mur-
derers. Mexico tried game like this

awhile found it anything but profitable

IT seems that John Sherman, jr., has
been a banking partner of Henry d.
Cooke, jr., in Washington! A good
school for the son Of our Ohio Senator!
The junior Sherman has now withdrawn,
and the junior Cooke continues the busi-
ness. With father in the Senate, what
peculiar advantages the son enjoyed in a
frm with the son of the Governor Of the
District OF Columbial This shows why
Senator Sherman has continued to sup
port the National Banking system. Itis
time the people were looking out for
such Congressman. Were there more
than ten members of the 43d or
she 42d Congress who were not
sither directly, or indirectly by their
sons or friends, interested in keep
ing up all the gigantic monopolies
that afiict the people? And now John
Sherman, jr., is entering into banking
partnership with the son of President
Grant. This Son of Fortune, it will be
remembered, was elevated. in military
rank above those who had seen hard
service and deserved well of their coun-
try; and now he is about to resign this
honor, which was so unjustly conferred
upon him by his Presidential father, in
order to become a banking partner with
the son Of Senator Shermanl The way
Senators and Presidents take advantage
Of their oflces to push forward their un-
worthy sQps is somewhat contemplate.
Time was when high officials had some
eaiicacy about giving their families such
advantages above other families. 1t is
corruption to the last dogree.
