BURGLARS AT Work AT THE RELAY HOUSE,
On Wednesday morning the usually quiet vii
layers of Elkridge Landing and Relay Station
were thrown into a state of intense excitement
over report to the effect that on Tuesday
night the office of DR.. William R. Wilmer
United States Collector of Internal Revenue,
of the Fifth district of Maryland, had been en-
tered by burglars, the safe blown open and
considerable amount of money stolen. On
Wednesday morning when DR.. Wilmer visited
the building, he found the front door g. ar, and
the office presented a scene OF the greatest con-
fusion. The floor was covered with papers that
had been taken from the desks in the room,
and the monster safe, that occupied one corner,
was standing wide open. After Dr. Wilmer
had recovered to some extent from the effects
of his astonishment, he gave the alarm, and
the news spread with such inconceivable ra-
pidity, that within half hour nearly every
person in the village had visited and exam
ined the interior of the building A large cold
chise, a 'Jimmy," a three-pound sledge ham.
mer, a pair OF powerful claw pncers and a
suspicious looking black bottle. Lhat gave forth
faint odor of bad whskey, were found scat.
tered around on the floor, where they had been
thrown by the burglars. The thieves had
drilled hole in one of the iron doors of the
safe, about two inches above the combination
lock. This hole was then filled with powder
and when exploded, the whole LOCK and por
tion of one door were blown out. The thieves
were but poorly rewarded for their labor, as
they only secured about fifty sixty dollars in
currency. On Tuesday morning DR.. Wilmer
had received from Mr.. Howser, the agent at
Relay Station, large amount of money, to-
gether with several valuable registered letters
and express packages, but the amount being
unusually large the collector concluded to take
it to his private house for safe keeping until
morning and consequently the safe contained
only about sixty dollars in currency and small
bills

CRITIcIsM.-On the first page of last week
issue we published an original story called
cloves Caprice" A few days since we re-
ceived the following "criticism" from lady
MeSSrs. Editors In your columns of last
week find most brilliantly written effusion
which, for "a Life Drama in Three Acts" is, as
the heading states, extremely original. The
composition, though lacking in depth, is good
enough were it not for vague sort of way
which the author has of "playing upon the i'm
agination." For instance, we are on the
sPentz,' journeying along with our friends s}ost
in admiration of the beautiful scenery, &C.,
when we are suddenly brought to our senses by
is receding to the rear! !" My Imagination is
pretty vivid, but when one speaks of a whole
fort getting up and "going back on" itself in
that mannor | began to doubt the statement
Immediately.
Leaving this scene to be explained as best it
may, we follow our friends to the Bessington
mansion, where, after his heroic plunge into
the Chesapeake, our hero is seated congratula-
ting Miss Blessington upon her narrow escape,
and expressing hopes that cher experience may
not be redupHcated." duplicate being two.
we can't blame him for not wishing for a re-
duplicate of the same accident.
There are few more slight impossibilities-
one-and very uncomplmentary one to Mr..
Truevean, that Maud should stop to think of
sprained ankle just as he was in the act of lay
ing his wealth and happiness at her "other
foot" But then she called him Grant almost
before he had finished proposing to her, and 1
suppose the "dear boy" was so pleased at that,
that he failed to notice the want of maidenly
bashfulness on her part. Well make allow
ances for "R. B. Lewis" though, under the try
ing circumstances, and hope that with patience
and perseverance he may succeed better the
next time he attempts to follow "Love's Ca.
price" Yours truly, FIDDLEs.

"Swinging Round the Circle"

Senator Andrew johnson left the
city of Nashville on the 9Th inst. for
Memphis, arriving III that city on the
following day. All along the route
the people rendered him enthusiastic
ovations; the Senator's reception at
Memphis being like unto the grand
triumphal entry in Rome of Paulns
Emilius on his return from slc-
cessful war with Macedonia. At the
Bartlett station the Senator was met
by two hundred Memphians, who
accompanied him to the city, in a
special train. Over $4,000 citizens
welcomed him on his arrival at The
city and escorted him to the Peabody
hotel, where he addressed the vast
crowd from his carriage.

Presidential Elections.
The Changes Contemplated.

LIE CHuhSeS SOHScWpidtCN.
IL Congress, last June, the
chairman If the House Committee on
Elections reported joint resolution
proposing IN amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, in
respect to changing the election of
President and Vice-President. The
bill, in substance, is as follows: Each
State to be divided into districts
equal to the number of Representa-
tives said State is entitled to in
Congress and the person having
the highest number of votes in each
district for President and Vice Presi
dent, shall count one Presidential
vote; no voter beins allowed to vote
for candidates for President and Vice
President who are both citizens in
the same State with himself
The candidate receiving the highest
number of votes in State to be
entitled to two Presidential votes
from the State at large; the highest
number OF votes of all the States to
elect the candidate If two candidates
receive the same number of votes in
any State, it being the highest nuns
Der, each shall receive one Presiden-
tial vote from the State at large and
If more than two persons have each
the same number of votes in any
State, it being the highest number,
no Presidential vote shall be counted
from that State; and where more
persons than one have the same mum
Der of votes, it being the highest
number in any district, no Presidents
tial vote shall be counted from that
district. The returns of such cleo
tons are to be made to the United
States Supreme Court within thirty
days, and the Court to declare with
in ninety days after such election
who is elected. No person who has
been Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court shall be eligible to the office OF
President and Vice President. The
whole country seem TO desire a
change in the mode of electing Plesi-
dent and Vice President, but this
plan does not meet the appreciation
of the masses. The present session
of Congress will hardly act on this
bill, although the subject is being
ao;tstad now
Senator Morton has recently re-
ported bill to count the vote for
PRESIDENT and Vice President, which
provides that both Houses of Cons
gress Shall meet together OF o'clock
on the last Wednesday in January
next succeeding the meeting of the
Electoral College, and be presided
over by the President of the Senate
One teller shall be appointed by the
Senate and two by the House, and
they shall receive from the presiding
officer the certificates as they are
opened, and after reading them aloud
shall make list of the votes, the re,
suit of the count to be announced by
the President Of the Senate. If any
question is raised, each house
shall withdraw to their chambers
and decide the question raised. No
electoral vote from any State to the
counting Of which legal objectiOns are
raised shall be accepted, except by an
affirmative vote of both houses. When
the two houses have voted they shall
Immediately re assemble, and the
presiding officer shall then announce
the decision of the question sabmit.
