An Objection Answered.

1t is objected by some that the mere fact
of these two counties being credited with
but 100 square miles would be sufficient
ground for the Legislature to refuse to take
favorable action on the New County Bill
In answer to this we would call their at
tcntion to the Bill providing for the forma-
tion of Garrett County-a conditional Bill,
which, after marking off the outlines Of the
same, contains this provision, viz: Pro
yided the provisions of this act as to taking
census of ihe people and area of the said
New County, and the sense of the people
therein, shall be complied with in accord
ance with the Constitution of this State"
Ofcoursc, there was no doubt as to the
requisite territory, but there was as to the
requisite number of people, and yet they
were not required either to measure or
count previous to securing the passage of
tho Bill.
act us, thea, have the Bill first and we
will do the measuring, counting and voting
afterwards, as they did in Garrett,

In view of the many wild stories cXtant
concerning the number of small poX cases
in Cumberland, it seems to be the duty of
the daily journalists Of that city to give full
and reliable reports of the extent and prog
ress of the malady. al the physicians
should be daily interviewed and every 9TH
or safe means employed to ascertain the
facts The information thus Collatcd and
spread before the people every morning
would go very far toward beating down the
cxtravagancics of alamists, and could not
possibly do more harm than the latter. So
far, the accounts have been too vague to
attract confidence, hence, the rumors have
gained undue crctiencc and kept people
away from the city as cticctually as if they
were true
