The annual meeting OF the stockholders
of the Southern Maryland Railroad Com
pany was held in Washington on Thurs
day. the 9th instant, and the following
Board of Directors was elected for the en-
suing year: Samuel 5. Smoot, John Van

in his annual report says, that owing to
the continued effect OF the panic of 1878
/ this Company has not yet been able to ne
gotiate its securities. But that negotia-
tions are now in progress from which a
favorable result is anticipated. The road
is now in such an advanced state that it
can be easily completed to the junction
with the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
in nine months, thus furnishing a continu-
Gus line to the st. Mary's river and short
branch to the mouth of the Patuxeut. The
severity of the past winter demonstrates
the necessity for the early completion OF
this road furnishing, as ii will, to the
cites of Baltimore and Washington, a bar
Dor at all times unobstructcd 10y ice, and
a rapid and convenient outlet to the ocean,
besides saving six hours over the present
line between the two cities and Norfolk
The attention of Congress and the Gov
eminent has been attracted 10 the import
ance of the completion OF this route, with
the view of establishing great naval
coalinr station at its terminus. Ii has also
attracted attention in tue industrial CEN
tres of the " est and Northwest and many
letters have been received from those see
tions indicating lively interest in its
completion. As yet no arrangement has
been made with either Of the great trunk
lines, but it is hoped the road will soon
be in a condition To make favorable terms
with either or both. The report concludes
with the hope that the next annual meet
ing will witness the completion of the

results can but be question of time and
cannot be delayed except by unfortunate

Circuit Court.

The May Term of Court meets on Mon
day next. The session is likely to be a
short and undressing one, the docket be-
ing small one and without any cases of
interest. The fact is, of late years, bar
ring the criminal business, there has scarce
ly been litigation enough to occupy over
three days. Whether it is that people
have become so correct in their dealings
that there is no occasion for the interven-
ton of the Court to compel them to do
what is right, or that they have become so
poor they cannot afford the luxury and
expense of a lawsuit, we cannot say But
certain it is, that the business of our Court
has fallen off wonderfully, and the lawyers
are now gentlemen of elegant leisure, if
not of means.
We again insert list of the Juors which
are to serve at this term:

TnE TmEn TEsN..--li t. not
often that We feel disposed to re-
fer to political matters, but the
constantly recurring story Of a
third term for Grant is getting 60
be monotonous. II he j, or in
tends to be, a candidate Tor noui-
nation for a third term, it must be
admitted that ho gives no evidence
Of il in the distribution Of the pat
ronage under his control. Since
the adjournment Of Congress, he
has taken care Of about a dozen
ex-Congressmon who have been
repudiated by the people of their
own districts, and who cannot rea-
sonably be supposed to have much
influence at home, not enough GER
tainly to control the election of a
delegate to the national nomina-
ting convention. A number OF
these gentlemen have left their
districts and home entirely,to take
Office in some distant part of the
country, and a year hence they
will be utterly forgotten. This,
however, is not the only instance
wherein Grant has put the patron
age where it will not do the m ost
good. The Distinguishing feature
of his administration has been to
gather around him comparatively
obscure men-men of at most
local reputation, without much
status or influence.

AID FOR IlfNnGRANTs.-During
a recent meeting of the citizens of
Sacramento, California, to consid-
er the question of the establish
ment of a labor exchange and I'm
migrant Aid Union, some ideas
were advanced by the Chairman
which are not without significance
elsewhere. He said the design
was to aid immigrants in getting
homes in Central California, and
about Sacramento. Citizens had
been asked to subscribe One dol
lar a month each to start it, say
for six months. He believed the
effort would result in settling up
the counties Of Amador, Placer,
Yolo and others adjacent. The
item is worthy of note as showing
the state Of feeling in connection
with the Advancement of the in
terests of the State and country.
