The Printing Office has indeed
proved a better college to many a
boy, has graduated more useful and
conspicuous members of society, has
brought more intellect out and turn
ed it into practical, useful channels,
awakened more minds, generated
more active and elevated thoughts,
than many of the literary colleges of
the country. a boy who commences
in such a school as the printing
office will haye his talents and ideas
brought out; and if he is a careful
observer, experience in his profession
will contribute more toward an ed
ucation than can be obtained in al
most any other manner.

The COMPREHENSIVE.

The Salisbury Adcertiser in commenting on
the candidates for the several State offices,
for which elections will be held the coming
Autumn, pays the following just tribute to
our present Comptroller:
among the names suggested for the of.
flee of Comptroller, we have heard those of
Hon. Arthur p. German, DR.. w. R. Hay
ward, Hon. John NJ. Miller and Hon. Phillip
W. Downs, as well as that of the present In
cumbent. All we have to say in regard to
the last named gentleman is that, while we
should oppose Sd term for Grant, we
should favor it for Col. Woolford, or q 4th
term as it would be, and for the same reason
which we should oppose Grant we should
favor the Col. While Grant has gotten the
finances of the country in wretched pickle
by his maladministration of affairs, Col
Woolford has labored assiduousy to get
things in q healthy condition, and if he could
only be continued in office till the plans
which he has already matured can be carried
out, then we might expect great benefit to
accrue from his continuance in the place.
We are not aware that he even desires to be
continued, yet we hope, if the people desire
it, that he may feel it to be his duty to stand
by his friends, and serve them as long as he
can make himself useful 10 the people, and
fully compensate them for the honor confer
red, and so long continued, and so richly de.
served. Whatever may be his course, we
have only to say that while he has been in
Office he has done his whole duty, and none
can say that he ever went back on his friends
or ever betrayed those who placed confidence
in him."
These views, says the Annapolis RepubH-
can, meet hearty response from the ablest,
and best informed members of the Democrat.

more. IfCol. Woolford will accept the po-
sition again, we have no question that he
will be nominated by acclamation, as it is
universally admitted that he has labored
faithfully, and with great ability and success
for the interest of the people. The senti-
ments of appreciation so generally express
cd over the State, will not allow him to with
draw from the office at the time when his
services can and will be of more decided
benefit than ever before to the financial pros
perity of the State.

A Failure,

The truth of the assertion that the Civil
Rights law was not intended 10 benefit the
negro race is shown by the swiftness with
which judges of federal courts decide against
them in cases where they have endeavored
to avail themselves Of supposed rights or
privileges under the new law.
For instance, in New Jersey it has been
decided that negro has no more right to
force himself into billiard room, against
the wishes of the proprietor, than before the
bill was passed. while elsewhere it has been
established that neither the keepers of drink
ing saloons nor barber shops can be COM
PEELED to attend upon customers against their
will because the latter belong 10 the African
race. In Cincinnati, the proprietor of the
Crawford House was arrested for refusing to
provide lodgings for colored preacher; but
unfortunately for those who expected to see
an interesting test case, it was proved that
the complainant had never applied to the
proprietor or clerks for the desired accom-
mediation, and he left town hurriedly to
sVoid prosecution for perjury.
The most interesting incident relating to
The new law which has occurred, however,
was the charge delivered in Memphis by
Judge Emmons, Of the United States District
Court, to the Grand Jury. In answer to an
inquiry as to the duty of that body in regard
TO finding bills of indictment against keepers
ofinns and managers oftheatres for denying
accommodation or entertainment to negroes,
Judge Emmons, who is Republican, fatty
replied that such denial would not be an of.
fence over which Congress could give
United States court jurisdiction, as these are
matters which the State alone controls In
brief, he pronounced the law demonstrations
al, in which opinion he is in agreement with
the best lawyers on the Republican side who
were in the Congress which passed the act.
The truth is that the Civil Rights bill was
sham-a trick, intended to catch the color
ed vote, and make mischief in the South,
while it was well understood that it could
not be sustained in the courts. AS gene
raj thing the colored people have shown their
good sense by avoiding any intrusion into
places where their presence would not be ac-
ceptab!e. In the greater number ofinstances
where they have done so it has been upon
the encouragement and at the instigation of
white men, not half so respectable or decent
rs themselves, who desired to give trouble to
persons to whom they were unfriendly.

SUIT FOR DAMAGEs.-Thc case of Abra-
ham Rutledge, of this county, vs.. The North
ern Central Railroad, Co., being an action for
damages sustained by the plaintiff by being
elected from the cars Of the defendant, was
concluded at Towsontown, on Monday, the
jury bringing in verdict Of 81 800 damages
for the plaintiff
On the 21st day of January, 1871, Major
Rutlcdge purchased ticket at Calvert Sta
ton for White Hail. When called upon by
the conductor for his ticket he was unable to
find it, (having put it in his watch pocket.)
Thcrcupon the conductor demanded his tick
ct or his fare. He continued his search for
his ticket but declined to pay again, (having
once paid.) Several gentlemen in the cars
assured the conductor that they had seen
him purchase his ticket, and Sheriff Jarrett
of this county, offered TO pay for him, but
the conductor calling some brakemen and
employees, elected him at a point between
Woodbury. and Melyalc, from which point
he proceeded on foot, carrying his bundle to
the latter place, where he was kindly receiv-
cd and Hospitality entertained by the Messrs
Denmead, the proprietors, After dinner in
taking out his spectacles he found his ticket
and afterwards pursued his journey to White
Hall, which station he reached about night,
in q rain storm, and started homeward
The darkness and storm compelled him TO
stop at the Blue Rocks for The night Upon
reaching home the next day he was seized
with pneumonia, which terminated in chron-
ic bronchitis, and his life since that time las
been one of suffering and affection.
Major Rutledge brought suit against the
railroad company in The Circuit Court for
Baltimore county, and the case was taken to
Baltimore city and TO the Court of Appeals,
in all of which the decisions were against the
company. Being remandcd to Baltimore
county the case came up on Thursday of
last week, and the trial continued until Tues
day, when after very full hearing and able
arguments before the jury, verdict was
rendered for tho plaintiff for 81 500 damages
and costs. The counsel engaged in The case
were Messrs. Stump and Young, ofthis coun-
ty, for plaintiff, and Messrs Carter, of Bal
timore city, and Talbot, of Baltimore coun-
ty, for defendant
