REPRESENTATIVE O'BRIEN ON THE MIS-
sIssIPPI TRoUBLEs.-We are indebted to the
Hon. VIM. ]. O'Brien, member of Congress
from Baltimore city, for copies Of his able
speech on the security of elections. Mr..
O'Brien was member of the congressional
investigating committee charged with the
duty of examining into affairs in Mississippi.
With Representative Speer, of Pennsylva-
mia, he signed minority report, condemn
ing the action of Governor Ames in apply
ing for troops to be sent to Vicksburg. In
the speech before US, he concludes as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, in view of the above-cited
testimony of the frauds and corruption in off,
cial life, the augmentation of taxes to the
verge Of confiscation, and the entire incapa-
city for government exhibited by the men
who rule Mississippi it will not be difficult
to understand the justice of the conclusions
of the white citizens of Mississippi in refer
ence to the majority of colored men holding
Office. The testimony demonstrates the I'M
fairness of the conclusions of the majority re-
port, and proves that military organizations
for political purposes have no existence in
Mississippi; that intimidation of the colored
voters is never resorted to, and that the PEG.
pie have accepted in good faith the amend
ments to the Constitution and the statutes
, passed to enforce the equal rights of every
citizen. AS my time is about to expire,
earnestly commend to the consideration Of
the House the condition of affairs have
shown to prevail in Mississippi, and feel as.
sured, that upon reflection the country will
do justice to that patient aud suffering PEG
pie"

The Connecticut Election.

The Connecticut election, on Monday, was
brilliant triumph for the Democrats, who
reelected Hon. Charles R. Ingersoll Cover
nor, and three out of four congressman. The
Senate is Democratic by large majorityand
the Democrats have also elected majority
of the House.
Governor Ingersoll has filled the office
with ability and dignity for two years. His
opponent is known as Hundred Guns Greene.
He won his title by causing, as Mayor of
Norwich, one hundred cannon to be fired on
the day Sherdan's "banditti" dispatch arriv-
ed from New Orleans, in token of approval
Of that famous State paper. He is in full ac-
cord with General Grant and advocates q
third term. The result of the election on
Monday may therefore be regarded as an
emphatic condemnation of the Presidents
arbitraryand illegal course and direct rebuke
of his preten sions for third term. The
Prohibition candidate for Governor, II. P
Smith, received q small vote.
The Democrats gain by this election two
members of Congress in the place offs. w.
Kellogg and General Hawley, Republicans.
So it goes. The third term project, Civil
Rights, unlawful interference by the Presi
dent with the internal affairs of the States !;
increased taxation; general extravaganza
corruption and dishonesty in national affairs
have at last opened the eyes OF the people to
the folly of continuing the Republican party
in power, and the verdict is everywhere and
universally against them.
The warning will be lost, however, on
General Grant. Having made up his mind
for third term, if he can get it, nothing
short of the hand of death can prevent him
from packing the Republican convention and
getting the nomination of his party. We
can scarcely regret his evident determine
ton to force himself upon his party as its
candidate in 1876 in view of the fact, now
more than eyer apparent, that he will then be
compelled, by the voice of the American peo-
pie, speaking through the ballot-box, to lay
yaside the power he has usurped in favor of
ne one who will be the servant to execute
will of the people, and not the dictator
Aforce his own peculiar views.

Our Roads.

Why is it that the proprictors of mills, &C.
and others who have heavy teams, will so pertina-
clously adhere to practice which is so thorough
~ damaging to our county roads, and particu
larly to those which lead to the different depots
of the railroads.&c. keeping in good order of
which is so very necessary for the comfort, safe
ty and convenience of the people of the county?
The practice alluded to, on the part of those
owning and using heavy teams of horses or
mules is that of putting them on the road after
every thaw in the winter and spring, and every
wet spell during the balance of the year, there
by forming holes and ruts, which render the
roads almost impossible for light vehicles;
whereas, by merely waiting for few days, un.
til they had become somewhat settled, they
would be fully repaid for the time their teams
might be standing idle waiting for the roads
to become settled, by the increased loads they
could haul, and the lessening of the wear and
tear of their wagons and teams. 1t is no I'M
common sight to witness teams struggling
through the mud, under loads of not half the
capacity of the wagon, with every nerve stretch
ed under the lash Of the driver, creating a spec.
tacle enough to make any one with the slight.
est spark of humanity shuddcr at witnessing
it,
While it is so clearly to the interest of the
owners OF these teams not to place them on the
roads at such times, it is also for the very best
interests of the entire community that our
principal county roads should be protected
from such unnecessary abuse, and the only
thing to do 1t is that agent, more powerful than
law, PUBLIC OPINION.
The county authorities have for the past
few years been exceedingly lberal-but not
more so than was requisite-in their appro-
priatons for road purposes, but if all the
work and money applied, is to be rendered.
in great degree, useless by the selfish acts
of few individuals, it would, perhaps, be as
well in the future to appropriate no more
money, particularly to the roads that are so
abused, than will clean out the bitches and
or at least until that potent lever Public
Opinion has compelled those owning heavy
teams to have some consideration for the
comfort of the community in which they
live

THE LIQUOR LICENSE LAw.-The Dclt

THE LIQUOR LICENSE LAw.-The Delta
york co., Times, says:
BY recent law in Maryland it was deter
mined to grant license for the sale of liquor
only to such persons as were recommended
by the Grand Jury. This body at the Feb
ruary term in Hartford county declined to
recommend any one, and in consequence af-
ter the first Of May next no intoxicating
liquors can be legally sold in the county. The
object of the law is, as we understand it, the
suppression of the low groggeries, which as
was supposed had become too numerous. 1t
was thought that the power of determining
the number of hotels really necessary in a
county could be most safely entrusted TO the
Grand Jury, q body representing every sec
ton of the county and supposed to be famil-
lar with the wants Of the people in this re-
spect. We believe the law to be q judicious
one, and one which would tend to produce
the much needed reform, if the Jury had pos
sessed the moral courage to recommend
those who kept respectable houses and with
held such recommendation in the case OF
those who did not. But in refusing to take
any action in the matter they have given the
liquor sellers the advantage of making a
test case in the courts which will probably
terminate in the granting of license to all
who apply.

The Lee Memorial.

On Saturday evening, 10th inst, (to-mor-
row. the ladies of Baltimore intend giving
an entertainment, at the Academy of Music,
for the benefit ofthe "Lee Memorial Associa.
ton, at Lexington, Va,." whose object is, as
our readers are doubtless aware, to raise the
necessary funds to pay for the monument to
the memory of General r. E. Lee, and pre-
pare fitting mausoleum wherein to place
it.
From the active exertions which the ladies
appear to be making to render the entertain
ment most pleasant and agreeable one, we
have no doubt their efforts will be rewarded
with success. The opening address which is
to be delivered by that gifted and respected
son of Maryland, S. Teakle Wallis, Esq, will
alone more than amply repay the cost ofthe
ticket but, in addition to this, there will be
vocal and instrumental music of the highest
order and the very interesting spectacle OF
the "Mistletoe Bough" will conclude the ex-
ercises of the evening.
The deep, and we may say, atfectionate
reverence which we feel for the memory OF
the great and good Christian and Hero, in
whose honor this monument is to be erected,
causes us to most heartily hope that the
ladies of Baltimore may have it in their
power to remit to the Memorial Association,
as the proceeds of their labors, such sum that
will not only materially assist in the good
work, but, also, be an honor to the city
which they have rendered SO renowned by
their beauty, amiability and patriotism.
While speaking of this graceful tribute o.
respect and veneration which the true women
of Baltimore seek to pay to the memory o.
General Lee, we must not forget that theil
fair sisters of Hartford, and we refer to il
with pride, were the first in the State TO re
spond to the call of the Memorial Association
for assistance. 1t will be remembered thai
at their invitation General Wade Hampton
delivered q most eloquent and interesting
lecture, at the Court House, Bel Air, on the
evening of the 10th of June, 1878, the sub
ject of which was the Life and Character
of General r. E. Lee" from which quite
considerable sum was realized.
We hope that the ladies of every county
in the State will, during the present season
follow the example of those of Hartford ant
Baltimore, by giving concerts, tableaux, O.
other suitable entertainments for the further
ing ofthis praiseworthy object, so that Mary
land may have the high honor of being, afte
his native State, the largest contributor t.
the monument to be erected to the memor,
of Robert Edtcdrd Lee.

ing seven and a.half gallons of liquid. He
was then placed under the professional charge
of DIR. Shertzer, who tapped him at intervals
until February 9th, when the quantity drawn
was five and a-llalf gallons, which was high

ced this the turning point of the disease

sit up, and gradually commenced to improve

nine weeks being forty-three gallons and
three quarts 1t is rare such cases are cured,

of giving temporary relief, but, contrary to

other physicians who visited the case, Mr..
