The effects of the Civil Rights bill

appears that when the bill was passed,
he made tour of the bar rooms and

TWO EXECUTIONS IN MARYLAND To-
MORROW.
At Easton' Talbot county. Md. tn.
morrow, Geo. Wheeler, colored, is to
pe hanged for the murder of Mrs
Margaret Whitman, on July 9Th last
Mrs; Whitman was the daughter of a
wealthy southern gentleman, but
loped with her fathers coachman.
and went to live with him In Chapel
District, near Easton, where he was
employed as farm hand. Wheeler
was also employed on the same farm.
and entertained grudgc against Mrs
Wheeler because he suspected Mrs.
whitman of telling the employer O {
some OF his wrong actions; according
~ ne ana another negro named Hines,
waylaid Mr.. and Mrs Whitman on
the night Of July 9Th. Wheeler
knocked Mr.. Whitman down, and
leaving him for dead, assaulted Mrs.
whitman, killing her with a single
blow OF club. He was arrested and
sentenced to be huug, while his ac
complice Hines, was sentenced to
twelve years imprisonment.
Referring to this case the Easton
N. S"yS' uSeleT dreamed, q lew
lights ago, that Mrs. Whitman, the
woman he murdered, appeared to him.
he was 30 frightened by his dream
that he got out of his bed in agony and
prayed for mercy. He expresses him
self willing TO die, but persists in de-
claring that he did not intend to kill
the woman, but only to beat her. He
has said this ever since he was first ar.
rested, and stated the same thing un-
der oath, after his own convictioo
when ON the stand as witness against
George Hines.
AT Bel Air, Hartford county, Md.
tomorrow, Joshua Griffin, colored'
will be tried for the murder of Miss
Susan Taylor "a wealthy white woman,
on the 18th Of October last. Griffin
had lived with Miss Taylor from his
boyhood. On the day of the murder
he went to her house and assaulted
her with club, killing her outright.
He was arrested few hours later and
narrowly escaped lynching. The
murder took place allout five miles
from Aberdeen, on the p, w, & B.
Railroad.

THE ACTION OF THE WILMINGTON M r.
PREACHERS MEETING.
We have heard with profound sorrow.
OF the death OF our Brother, Rev. Robert
u. Kemp, at Greensborough, Caroline
Co, Md, March 9Th. 1875, and we here
ny desire to record our appreciation of
bis emminent christian Character. and
his earnest labors for forty three years.
in the church Of God.
In the demise of Bro. Kemp, Peninsu-
lar Methodism has lost one of her histori ,
characters; one whose early tolls were in
timately blended with her development
and whose active ministry of thirty years
was enriched with unusual toll and with
many extraordinary revivals.
His private christian life, rs he moved
among US, was beautifully illustrative
OF THAT charity that speaketh no evil, and
OF the peculiar power which religion pos
sesses to swecten and hallow declining
years.
In his sudden removal from us we are
admonishcd of the uncertainty of life's
tenure, and called with solemn emphasis
to work while the day lasts" that we.
too, may receive. at the Masters hand,
the crown Of life.
=, We hereby tender to the bereayed fam.
lily, in this hour of sorrow, the assurance
OF our most sincere sympathy; praying
the God OF all consolation that they NAV
be absolutely sustained in submission to
His Will, and at lsst, come to the "in-
heritance Of the Saints in light"

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-A white wo-
man named Maria Waldron' was sent TO
Jail by the Coroner of this District on
the charge of having starved to death
he her illegitimate child five months old.
The testimony before the Coronor's iury
shows that the mother abandoned the
child, leaving it in the house with some
poor persons in the eighborhood. who
only discovered it's actual condition when
TOO late to render any assistance. The
mother is reported to be very dissipated.
;, A case was reported to the Board of
Health OF father who, not having the
requisite papers to obtain the burial of
MS child in cemetery, instead of tax
ing the trouble to procure them. placed
the coffin containing the infant in a VA
cant lot near by and left it without civ
ing himself any further concern. His
arrest was caused by the Board of Trade.
Still another case of cruelty to infants
Is reported, being that of a white male
infant only a few hours old, found in n
sewer. at Georgetown, with its throat
cut from ear to ear. The guilty parties
are unknown. p''''
