THE STATE AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGE.

This institution which was expected to
do so much for the farmers, at present
promises to be a total failure, as far as any
practical results are to be derived from it
by agriculture. The College has not, we
believe, at any time since it was endowed
proved of any advantage to the farmer, for
whose especial benefit it was created, and
in its present condition it is likely to prove
nothing but preparatory school for stu
dents for the Naval School and West Point
An agricultural college with such results
as these is a farce, and should be abolished
at the earliest opportunity, and the $l2, 900
annually which is wasted on it be kept in
the treasury of the State. Next Wednes-
day, the 14th inst, the Stockholders are
called to meet when an effort is to be made
to rescue the College from it's present
unfortunate condition. in which it is utterly
useless to the agricultural class, who are
taxed to support it. If the institution is
not to be a thorough Agricultural College
it is utterly useless, and the sooner it is
wound up the better. If there are any
Stockholders in this county, let them not
fail to attend the meeting on Wednesday
next. The President of the College, Mr.
3. Davis, after citing the new pro-
gramme, which subordinates the question
of industry and agriculture, to the naval
and military organization of the United
States, says in a communication to the
editor of the american Farmer:
eff this be So then we have the anomaly
in Mary land of school founded especially
for the sons of the farmers and mechanics
of the State, and endowed by it, converted

Senate and the Naval Academy at Anna

among the farming class. Their great
need is societies in every District which,
while they have the farming interest in
view, should serve in a great measure as
training schools for public men, or men
who would be competent to serve their
constituents in the Legislature when called
upon. At present we question if there are
dozen such in the State.

HON. JAMES G. BLAINE.

The Republican sentiment of the coun-
try seems to be uniting on this distinguish,

dent in 1876. His talents and ability are
SO commanding, his integrity SO spotless,
and his official life SO far above even the
breath of Islander, that mono utter his name
save in terms of the highest respect.
The country is sick at heart of medioc,

craftsmanship and commanding ability to
be placed once more in the Presidential
chair, aud in the well tried public life and
proven ability of Mr.. Blaine it recognizes
a man that will shed lustre on the Presi,

of ideas and progress is weary of the way
things have been drifting is too manifest to
admit of a doubt, and is too palpably indi,

Thankful for Small FavOrS.

The Sassafras Lodge of Good Templars
have passed vote of thanks to the late
Grand Jury, for restricting the license for
the sale of liquor in their District. Had a
vote been taken on the question when the
Grand Jury first met, the Lodge would
have had much more to thank " Almighty
God - and the Grand Jury for. Or if that
body had closed its labors even on Satur-
day, the thankfulness of the Order would
have had much greater bounds to overflow.
Sunday was improved by the managing
spirits of the Democratic Ring and the
friends Of some of the dealers in the ardent,
who were likely to come to grief through
the inability of the Grand Jury to perceive
any valid reason for them wasting time in
dealing out drinks. Light was, however,
shed on the obscure minds of the Grand
Jurors, and they were made to see Tor
enough of them were) that it was obligatory
on "the party" as well as necessary to its
future prosperity, to license certain houses
which had been turned down by a previous
vote of the Grand Jury. And the votes
being reconsidered Oh Monday, seven places
in Elkton were granted license in place Of
three, all that were expected or asked for
by the citizens.
Men took part in this influence who
stand high in the Church, and are patrons
for the best society, and all this sacrifice of
principle was made to subserve party inter
est, that a few of the inner circle may
continue to prosper at the expense of every
interest. secular and religious in the county.
The Grand Jury's better Judgment and
better nature prompted it to act far differ
emily from what it did under the influence
of mercenary manipulators. The Grand
Jury did toerably well, but it knew that
it was not doing its whole duty, as it
believed it to be,

THE ROD AND THE GUN.

The american Sportsman, having com
pleted its fifth volume. has adopted new
name, which more appropriately expresses
the aim and object of the publication. 1t
is the only paper devoted exclusively to
shooting, fishing and natural history, and
has done more to promote the formation of
associations for the cultivation of fish and
the protection of game and other birds.
than all other publications in the United
States Tie Rod and Gun, under its pre-
vious cognomen, has done more to draw
the line, broad and distinct between the
gentleman sportsman and the mercenary
pot hunter than all its contemporaries to-
gether, and is fast creating sentiment
among true sportsmen, which bids fair to
WELD vast influence in the near future,
which will be of lasting benefit to the coun
try.
We send greeting to our old friend under
its new name, and trust that none of its
efforts will be relaxed 10 organize the senti-
ment which its pages found scattered pro-
fusely, but promiscuously, over the coun-
try into effective working associations of
sportsmen in the better and useful sersc of
that term.
A word at the close of this notice about
the Illuminated title to the paper, or head

was by far the most handsome and appro
pirate of the three which has adorned the
paper. and we advise the publishers to
adopt it again, in place of the dreary-look-
ing Winter landscape of dead branches.
which the artist has managed to twist into
Rod and Gun. Let him weave these dainty
implements of the sportsman's art into the
sylvan design which first graced the Sports
man and the heading will be perfect.
Every farm house in the land ought to
have a copy of the Rod and Gun among
it's weekly visitors by mail. The boys
would find fund of amusing reading and
an immense amount of useful information
on natural history in its pages. Address
the publisher at West Meriden, Connect
cut. and enclose money order for 81, and
it will be money we'll invested for a year.

PEACE.

The great mass of the people in this
country of all parties desire peace, cor
diality, and kind feeling between the North
and the South, and all wise craftsmanship
should look to that end. The Democratic
leaders, anxious to prove the reconstruc-
ton policy of the Republicans failure,
have not lent their aid to bring about har-
mony, bat, on the contrary, the Southern
leaders of that party have sullenly refused
their co operation, and the Northern lead
ers. with ill concealed delight, have really
made tins refusal the basis of an arraign-
ment and denuncation of Republican pol
icy. 1t is to-day the evident interest and
desire of the Republican party to have
peace-and it is quite certain that the Dem
ocrats think that disorder leads to their
advantage. Moreover, the peace which the
Republicans desire is based on right and
justice and patriotism, and will necessarily
be permanent, while the policy of the Dem
ncrats is one of reaction, if not of revolu-
ton, leading inevitably to fresh troubles,
of which no man can see the end or mea-
sure the extent. Can the people of Con
necticut, can the people of the nation, hes

ELECTION RIOT AT ANNAPOLIS.

y municipal election was held at An
napolis on Monday last, at which serious
riot occurred an account of which we find
in the annapolis Gazette. which says:
About five O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
a riot took place in the Third Ward, i'll
which ore man was killed and several
wounded. The circumstances, as far as we
have been able to obtain them, are as
follows: Mr.. VIM. Williams, of the firm
of Wells & Williams, was taking a coloied
mau, named Parker, up to the polls to vote,
when Parker's son interfered and objected
to his father voting the Democratic ticket.
Words ensued, and 4 number of men inter
fered in behalf Of young Parker and finally
the parties came to blows. Williams was
knocked down, and when he regained his
feet drew a revolver and commenced firing
Two of his shots took effect, wounding
Henry Cooper and another colored man,
whose name we could not ascertain. At
the time of the occurrence but few white
men were at the polls, and information
was Immediately dispatched TO the FIRST
Ward for assistance. AS soon as reinforce
ments arrived they commenced firing upon
the negroes, who fled in every direci ion
for safety, discharging their pistols us they
ran. Mr.. Basil Mcknew was shot in the
hand. and David Basil shot in the leg,
were the only white men injured.
Richard Dorsey, son of William Dorsey.
one of our quctest and most respected col
ored citizens. was shot through the head
aud almost instantly killed, while attempt
ing to get out of the way. Three or four
others (all colored) were quite severely
wounded and number escaped with slight
wounds. The interference of the Mayor,
States Attorney and other respectable citi
zens, soon restored order, and the election
proceeded quietly until the polls were
closed. The Sheriff swore in number of
deputies to act in conjunction with the
police in suppressing any further disorder.

The first OF April passed off without much
foolng. The daily newspapers had their
customary hoaXes, and that was about all.
The tribe of street-beggars who "haint had
nothin' to eat since yesterday mornin,"
kept it up in energetic style, considering
their prolonged fast: and now and then a
parboiled faced school boy invented some
deviltry that guaranteed him in the pro-
duction of that ancient melody:
