Every proprietor and editor of Radical

DEATHS.
We learn with deep regret of the death of
William Sheridan, foreman for the firm of Da.
Wis 81 Pugh, at Lapidum. Mr. Sheridan left the
firm some three weeks ago, being unable to at
tend to business, for his home near Hopewell Y
Roads, and instead of improving he grew worse
each day, until death came to his relief on Mon.
day last. Mr.. Sheridan always had pleasant
word for every one, and he will be greatly miss
ed by his numerous friends The disease was
consumption. Mr.. j. p. Vanneman, one of the
prominent citizens of Port, died on the 22d in.
slant. His funeral took place on Monday, 25th
aud was attended by quite concoursc of pco.
pie. lie was upwards of eighty years ofagc.
DROWNED.
A colorcd youth named Henry, Lloyd, whilst
skating near Watson's Island on the 18th, fell
through an dir hole in the ice and was drown
ed. No one was near at the time hat some boys
while skating found hat on the ice and identi-
fed ii as belonging to the negro. Some color
ed men took boat hooks and iished for him, but
he was not found until the following Saturday,
the water being seventy feet deep. Another
man from Baltimore is also reported TO have
fallen in the same way near WGtson's Island
but has not yet been recovered
The firms at Lapidum have finished filing
their ice houses and are talking of building
more there. They are at work building new
ones near at Perryville now.
We had quite sleet storm on Sunday, which
left the streets in fearful slippery condition,
but they are improving fast.

real and earnest steps are taken by the citi-
zens of Hartford themselves TO get the right
of way established, and to secure good part
OF the money required, they will never sec
road undertaken"
Our people have dcuded themselves with
the belief, for years, that some one or otEer
of the great railroad corporations would find
it absolutely necessary to build road through
our county TO connect their lines between
Baltimore and the great cities of the North
The sooner, however, We divest ourselves
entirely of the expectation that some kind
Jupiter in the shape of rich railroad COM
pany will assist lis out Of our difficulties, and
lay cur own shoulders TO the wheel, in the
manner the Gazette recommends, the sooner
our wishes will he gratificd.
The project OF a railroad from the mouth
of Deer Creek, through Hartford and Balti-
more counties has, We must confess, not met
with that degree Of substantial encourage
ment in Hartford county, and still less in Bal
timorc county, that it should have received !;
and we should therefore turn to the more
feasible and less expensive plan of making y
railroad from the Susquehanra, by way of
Bel Air, to Magnolia, rs suggested by the
Gazette. This plan waa, il part, nearly
perfected, a few years ago. About 100000
was subscribed on the portion between Bel
Air and Magnolia, when I'M effort was made
to induce Baltimore city to subscribe over
holt 1N11, H.,
that amount, for the construction Of the
Maryland Central road. The ordinance had
passed the City Council, Int was afterwards,
and very properly, too, rescinded, for tho
reasonthat not one cent hid been subscribed
in the region through which tue contemplate
ed road was to run. The fear was felt that
through" read would ruin the prospects
of the successful running Of the contemplated
branch road, and the latter was abandoned.
We believe with the Gazette, that with
proper degree Of interest on our own part
united with convincing proof of that inter.
est, by giving the right OF way and subscrib-
ing to the building Of the road, the City of
Baltimore will not be found backward in as
sisting i'll the construction Of any railroad
through Hartford over which the produce Of
our county could reach her markets. Only
we must show our own appreciation Of The
value of the enterprise By embarkng our
own means in it, instead of expecting the
people of Baltimore TO bear the entire bur-
den Of what would be, a' most, mutual
benefit.

4 Federal Officer on The Condition of
Louisiana.

In further response to The resolution of i'll
quiry, President GIANT has sent to the Senate
mass of correspondence relative 10 affairs
in Louisiana. Among the papers are tho re-
ports Of General Emory and Col Morrow,
which cfFectually dispose Of the charge that
the people of Louisiana are hostile to the
federal government. Col Morrow having
been sent by General Emory to examine
into affairs about Shreveport, report
ed, saying that the general condition of af-
fairs on the Red river is bad. Respect and
regard for the general government are cx-
pressed by all classes ofpGUple, but they also
express open contempt and defiance of the
authority of the State government. This
dissatisfaction and discomfort affect all de-
partmcns of business, and the whole aspect
of the country has Il look &c poverty and
neglect The law has fallen into disregard
and disrepute, and the judges are openly
charged with corruption. United States depu-
ty marshaIs have used United States soldiers
in cases where there WAS 10 necessity for
| them, and in some parishts have discharged
their duties in an unnecessarily harsh, if not
cruel manner. Col. Morrow gives the follow
ing as his deep.scattd convictions:
"The present State government cannot
maintain itself i'll power single hour with
out the protection OF federal troops, and even
with their protection they will not be able to
collect taxes and perform the functions of
government. The State government has
not the confidence or respect Of any portion
of the community
Further on he says
"If the expressions of the people are to be
believed, and do believe them, there is a
very sincere desire to live quietly under the
protection of the constitution of the United
States and enjoy the blessings of the national
government But there is no Disgusting the
fact that the protection afforded by the FEEDER
al administration to the government of the
present State executive is the cause Of bitter
personal ard political feeling in the breast OF
nineteen-twentieths Of the white inhabi-
tants of the State"
General Sherman endorses Col. Morrow's
report, saying that he knows ofn officer OF
Col. Morrow's rank who is better qualified
to speak or write OF matters like this, and his
opinions are entitled to great consideration

Last week we gave an account of the an
nual meeting ofth stockholders ofthe Peach
Bottom Narrow-gauge Railway, with state
ment in regard to the prospect of the COM
plete success of that enterprise, and added
the remark that:
"The mercants OF Baltimore hardly realize
the fact, that this road, when completed, will
divert large portion of the produce of York
and The northeastern part oflIarford counties
from Baltimore, its natural, and, to the peo-
pie, more desirable market. Scarcely any
county in the State is so destitute of railway
facilities for.transporting its agricultural pro-
duciions to the city Of Baltimore rs Hartford
And there is no section better shifted for rails
ing food for the wants of large metropolis
than our county. All we need is a railroad VI

more has given evidence of her liberal inten-
tons towards this enterprise, and, once on
sure basis, the old subscriptions would be re-
vivcd. A narrow gauge, at $40 900 per mile
might not meet the situation in Hartford. Ii
would be desirable to connect with this Ok
ford road ut the Susquehanna river, near the
mouth of Deer Creek. A wide-gaugc road
from the bridge, offered by the Baltimore
Central, TO Bel Air, and thence to Magnolia
about twenty-five miles, can be built for $1G,.
900 per mile. The most liberal offers as to
working this road were made by the Phila
dephia, Wilmington and Baltimore, and nc
doubt would be renewed upon any bona fidC
attempt to build it. That it is needed by
Hartford county as much rs by the city oil
Baltimore is demonstrated by the selling
prices of land In sections through which the
road would pass. They arc lower than they
were thirty years ago, in absolute amount
and when the difference in values of othel
property is considered those lands will hard

we have indicated is, perhaps, the only one

Removal of Cases,

In u charge lately given to the Grand Ju-
ny of the city of Baltimore, Judge Gilmor 10
abiding to the present system of Change of
venue" said:
"There are always those lying in wait to
profit by any laXity in the administration of
the law. The grand jury should be quick to
present those offenders whose unlawful acts
constitute the principal sources of mischief
to the community The court is ready TO do
its part but it must say with regret that I'M
der the constitution OF the State the court is
not clothed with that full power which it
would have but for the great latitude in re-
moving cases. it i trusted that the clause
referred to will be soon materially modified,
thus correcting this hndrnncc to the cause
Of justice, and that the people of the State
will express their approval of the law pro-
posed by the last Legislature for this purpose
This will take away 10 great extent the
privilege, now 50 much abused, of removing
cases almost I'D Hbitnm. The court has al
ready insisted much on the importance of
this matter, but it deserves this furthur men,
ton. The city is PROSPEROUS in many ways,
but in none can more cod he done than in
unfolding tho hands of justice, and enabling
it to secure safety of life and property"
The San also in referring to the charge of
Judge Glmor makes the following remarks i:
ut is suggested. that iii, 81 cases might be
more effectively reached if the privilege of
removing them upon affidavit, when parties
are brought TO trial before this court, were
taken away, which may he done by the
amendment to the constitution of the State
proposed at the last session of the Lcgisla.
ture, provided il is adopted nv the people at
the next general election. We have urged
the great Importance Of tins amendment here
tofore, and hope thnt-il will he fully under
stood and appreciated throughout the State
by the time it is to be voted upon. Its effect
will be most salntary if adopted"
Thoroughly coinciding in the above views,
we earnestly call upon Our people to not let
the opportunity escape, which will be present
ed to them at the general election next fall to
record their votes in favor of the proposed
amendment to ,he constitution. Hartford
has good cause TO desire the change, as her
levy list has been considerably swelled, more
than once, by the heavy costs in removed
cases, in which the parties removing would
have had every justice done them at home
In this connection, We think it no more than
Just and proper to state that it was the SEN
ator from Hartford who made the first move
in the early part Of the last session Of the
Legislature, for the proposed change in the
constitution.
