We have received a copy of ii new even
ing paper-7he Tim$s-pubished in Bal
timore for the astonishingly small sum
of one cent. The get up of the Times
shows much care and enterprise and its
contents are newsy and spicy. There is
room for just such Il paper in the city.
We gladly welcome it to our exchange
list and wish it an abundant success.
We also extend hearty welcome to the
|" Woodbury. Ners, an Independent, Liter
airy News and Advertising Journal" pub
lished in the tlourishing village of that
name in Baltimore county. The Ne,cs is
so very independent in politics that it
has reserved Il space at the head of its
columns for the name of the Independent
candidate for Governor. We suggest to
our friends to fill that space with the name
of c. c. Fulton, of the -imericaA. as man
most eminently suited for the position.
The Netcs objects to the hard-money plank
in our platform and wants legal tender,
whether it is made of "brass, copper. iron.
lead or paper" With the exception of
these idiosyncrasies the paper is conduct
ed with ability and enterprise.
The Eastern THyinidn, a live and lively
newspaper, published at Onancock, Ac-
comac county. Va, speaks thus of the
TINES:
''Thc Port Tobacco Times. in the thrty-Se-

Our Railroad Outlook.

A Washington Correspondent of the
Beac0a, writing under date of the End in
slant, informs Us that the ma@natcs of the
5. Md. Railroad have been brought to
grief lie states that receivers have been
appointed to take charge Of the property
of the Company and that injunctions have
been served on Col. Smoot and Others no,
to sell any more cross ties nor to dispose
of any Southern Md. II. r. Bonds that
they may have now III their possession.
These proceedings, he goes on to state,
were rendered necessary by the extraordi-
nary course adopted by President Smoot,
who claimed all the cross ties as his indi-
vidual property and was about making
sale of them to the Baltimore and Potomac
r. r. Company. 1T gives me pleasure"
continues our correspondent, ito state,
that, previous to any Injunction having
been issued or served on his company,
Gov. Oden Bowie, on being appraised of
Smoot's proceedings by Mr.. Callahan.
wrote 4 peremptory order to the subordi-
mates of his company, forbidding the re-
ceiving from Smoot of any property of the
:. Md. Company. Gov. Bowie has acted
in this matter with great promptitude and
is entitled to the thanks and gratitude of
Southern Maryland for his honorable and
chiyalrous response to the complaint and
remonstrance of Mr.. Callahan. Pendeate
lite it would be indecorous in me to enter
into the details and particulars OF the bill
of complaint and its exhibits, but as they
are on file in the Circuit Courts of St

careful how we should take away or re-
strict this right. 1t is true that the amend
ment does not apply to the case where the
penalty is death, but then, to an innocent
man, unjustly accused and convicted
through prejudice, sometimes speedy
death would be preferable to the living
death of felon's cell.
The proposed amendment is vicious in
one respect, that it leaves it to the Court
(the Judges to say whether the party can
have fair trial or not. Now it may be
that these very Judges who have to pass
upon this question are prejudiced against
him, and he is afraid that they or the only
Que then on the bench will not give him
a fair trial. Such cases have arisen and
will arise again probably. With Judge
on the bench, preiudiced from personal or
political emnity, bigotry or fanaticism, it
would be impossible for party charged
to avail himself of this privilege of re-
moval so in harmony with our new theory
Of trial by jury, because he never could
satisfy such Judge that he could not
get fair and impartial trial in that court,
any more than the most veteran thief in
Baltimore city could satisfy Judge Gilmor
of the same fact to-day. Yet we confess
we do not see how this difficulty can be
obviated.
Again, the Court must be satisfied.

The Constitution of 1864 contained very
nearly the, same provision as is now pro
posed to be engrafted upon that of 1867.
In the Convention which framed the last
Constitution this matter came up for dis
cussion and it was found that the provi
sion of 1864 did not work satisfactorily,
and the present provision was made, 1t

as strong the other way. How could a
Judge under these circumstances ever be

his doubts were confirmed And so, gen
