Jealousy or France.

In the House of Lords on Monday evening,
Earl Derby, minister of foreign affairs, in re-
ply to a request of Earl Russell that the cores
pondence between Great Britain and the conti-
mental powers growing out of the recent war
rumors be laid before the house. said that the
government deemed it inexpedient to comply
with the request on account of the confidential
character of the communications received from
other powers. lie also stated that the main
cause of the late trouble was the appreh en- sion
on the part of Germany that the vigor display
ed by France in bringing its army TO n war
footing WAS with the ultimate view of precipi-
tnting II war with Germany. while France pos
itively denied any such intention. He admit
ted that there had existed grounds for the
gravest apprehensions as to the peace of Europe,
which, happily. had been dspelled by the in
terYention OF other powers.

The Dircfui Effects OF Local Option i'm
Caroline County.

The American Union, published a, Denton
gives something like the following account o
Local Option in that county:
"At the late sitting of the Grand Jury for
this county there WAS not single case for as
ssult and battery t.cfore them, nor single com
plaint ofthe violation of the pnhlc peace. Our
iail is without tenant and has been for the
past six months. At the recent session of our
Circuit Court, had it not been for the old buSi-
ness which had been accumulated under the
whiskey reign, the term would not have lasted
three days"
This is a bad state of affairs 10 be sure; a
Jail without a tenant: not n single case of as
sault and battery before the Grand Jury-courr
only three days in session. What's the use ot
having conrt and Jail and Grand jury? And
all the result Of aying nothing TO drink. How
can our court be expected TO sit on the bench
and suffer from thirst, when il has plenty OF
good liquor at home, or folks to fight worth n
cent. or the Grand Jury to find true bills while
parehng with thirst? We were always sure
that Local Option would bring about some such
Disaster Cecil Wig.

Attorney General or Maryland.

The name of our esteemed friend and fellow
citizen, Hon. Daniel Clarke, is prominently
spoken of for this important Office. II great
industry, zeal, and eloquence with large expe-
rience and thorough knowledge of the law, are
the qualifications required in the discharge of
the duties of this Office, then Daniel Clarke is
eminently fitted for il. Few men of his age in
Maryland or elsewhere have made such rapid
progress, or stand higher in his profession
He would adorn the Office and do credit TO the
State. From his earliest manhood he has stood
true to the Constitution, and been mn active
worker in the party TO which he is faithfully
and honestly attached-ready at all times TO
grid on the armor and fight its battles. He has
served the State in the Senate House, and Con-
stitutional Convention, and elsewhere; and 10
every place his forensic talent has placed him
in the front ranks with our best statesmen
His nominal by the Democratic State Con-
vention would be hailed by host of admiring
friends as q tribute to talent and reward to
modest worth. and greatly tend TO strengthen
our party in Southern Maryland where we have
such odds to contend with.-Marlboro' Ga

PAT ACCO:

RD-Our readers m57stvsxctise tbs for any scanti-
ness of reading matter in the TIMES, but the
pressure of advertisements our columns is so
great that we cannot do any better at present.
We have ordered a new press and taken another
Office, which will afford the desired room We
are deprived of in our present contracted quar-
ters. When We get fixed we will be able to issue
larger paper and give to our readers larger
and more varied assortment of reading matter.
In this connection we return our thanks to the
friends who have SO promptly responded to our
recent call for funds. and enabled us to enter in
to the great expense incident to these cOntem-
plated improvements.
To the others who have not yet settled their
accounts we would say that all this has involved
us in very heavy outlay and we rely upon their
promptness to enable us to accomplish our pur-
pose. We need money and need it urgently, and
we have nowhere else to look for it except from
those who owe and who ought in common de-
cency to pay us. We have worked long and hard
for the small amounts due, and surely no man is
mean enough to begrudge it now that we really
need it, especially as it will be all returned to
them in the greatly improved paper which we
propose to give them. Come one and all who are
in arrears, give us helping hand and thus help
yourselves. 1t is but drop from the sea to each
of you, but the ocean on which we sail is made
up of drops.

Already the names OF q number of dis
tinguished citizens are mentioned as aspi-
rants for this position, and the friends Of
some of them have opened the campaign
in Baltimore city with the view wofsecuring
for their favorite the nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party. AS the
delegates from this county will constitute
an integral portion of the nominating
convention it may not be out of place at
this time to present the names of the most
prominent aspirants in order that the peo-
pie may make their own selection.
The four gentlemen most prominently
named are the Hon. Richard Grason, of
Baltimore county, Hon. John Lee Carroll,
of Howard county, Hon. VIM. T. Hamil-
ton, of Washington county, and the Hon.
James Black Groome, Of Cecil. These are
all worthy citizens-men eminent alike
for their integrity of character and intel
lectual ability, and if the choice of the
people should fall on either one Of them
it could not fail to secure a man capable
of doing the State some service and reflec-
ting credit upon the wisdom of the selec-
ton. For ourselves we ''could be happy
with either, if t'other dear charmer were
away"
Mr.. Grason is the present Chief Judge
of the Third judicial District and his de
|cisions on the bench Of the Court of Ap-
peals show him to be o sound and clear
headed lawyer. He is son of the late
Hon. VIM. Grason, formerly Governor Of
the State. Judge Grason has never been
prominent in the politics of the State, hav-
ing been satisfied, before his elevation to
the bench, to devote himself entirely to his
profession. He is not now spoken of as
prominently as either of the other three
gentlemen, though he has many friends
and admirers throughout the State who
would hail his nomination with pleasure
Mr.. Carroll is now filing his second
term as member of the Senate from How
ard county, and is also President of that
UOuy, ~ POcIlIoh AO Wao OlCS,Co a.
the last session. He is in the prime OF
life, OF fine abilities-a good speaker, and
would give much dignity to the Office
He has never before his election as Senator
been in public life, having always prefer
red the less thorny path Of the private cit
izen. There would be singular appro-
priateness in his selection as the Governor
of Maryland at the time of the Centennial
anniversary Of the Nation independence,
inasmnch as he is the great grandson of
Charles Carroll Of Carrollton-the last
surviving signer of the Declaration of In
dependence. His friends are confident of
his success in the race for which he is en-
tered
The Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton, whose term
as United States Senator expired on the
4th of last March, is perhaps better known
throughout the State and Nation than

The Protestant Episcopal Convention.

The ninety-second annual Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese OF
Maryland, began its session at Grace Church,
Baltimore, on Wednesday last, and closed on
Saturday, Rev. William r. Whittingham, bis
hop of the diocese, and Right Rev. William
Pinkney, assistant bishop, presiding. Report:
of committees, petitions and sermons formed
the first days proceedings. The second days
session was interesting and somewhat exciting
The evening session was devoted TO the sub
ject of missions and poorly paid clergymen
the committee on Canons also made a repor,
sustaining Bishop Whittingham in his inter
probation of Canon |. that it was discretionary
with him to bring accused clergymen to trial
on presentation by the Standing Committee,
which report was not adopted, and the old
canon remains unamended. The con vention has
been engaged with much important business,
and in the discussion of many grave questions
relative TO Church discipline. The attendance
of the clergy and delegates was unusually
large.

when he has no such sacrifice to make he
could more easily, in like manner, be
'made to believe that the public good
called" for him to take third term if
rendered" as he says the second was |?
In fact he admits he had less difficulty in
accepting the second term than he had in
taking the first, because lit must be re-
membered that all the sacrifices, except
that of comfort, had been made in accept
ing the first term" 1t is an apt illustra-
tion of the proverb CO NEST que b premier
pas que coute, it is but the first step that
costs. Having paid that cost, and with
facility accepted the second term, we are
sure he would take the third with eager
ness-if he can get it.
Further on he writes, ''for the third term.
1 do not scant 1t any more than did the
first" Again, Il would not accept a
nomination if it were rendered, unless it
should come under such circumstances as
to make it an imperative duty Here is
the key to the whole letter, by which his
partisans, parasites and satellites may be
allowed to ascertain his august wishes.
He does not want third any more than he
did first term. He wanted the first
enough to accept it, therefore he will ac-
cept the third. He would not accept a
nomination, except as an imperative duty.
Who is the Judge of this duty and its i'm
periousness Of course himself He has
already found it twice, and there can be
but little doubt, if the opportunity ever
presents itself, he will soon discover that
it is again his imperative duty to ac-
cept. A man who was so easily pursuad-
ed to give up life Office, "created by
Congress expressly for" him, would have
but little difficulty in coming to this con-
clusion.
Any man who could think that it was
his imperative duty" to invade with the
army of the U. S. the legislative halls of a
sovereign State and eject at the point Of
the bayonet four members therefrom-or
who thought it his imperative duty to
use the same army to eject one sheriff in
Vicksburg and install another in his place,
can have but little difficulty in finding an
comparative duty" whenever it suits his
purpose to do so. And when that same
man thought that such crisis existed in
the affairs of the Nation as made it his
imperative duty" to advocate the upset
ting of the government of Arkansas, and
the enactment Of the Force bill, as Grant
did during the last Congress, he can east
ly persuade himself that the time has ar
rived when, 'to change an Executive be-
cause he has been eight years in Office will
prove unfortunate, if not disastrous"
The more we examine this letter the
more we are confirmed in our belief that
it is cheat and fraud-that the writer
of it means indirectly to advocate third
term or life tenure for the Executive, and
gives his partisans to understand that if
the nomination is "tendered" to him he
will consider it his imperative duty" to
accept it. Nay, more, it contains an in
siduous appeal for it, because of his sacri-
fees in resigning "a life position, one
created expressly by Congress for" him.

gv The hundredth anniversary of the battle
of Bunker's Hill, on June 18th. is to receive
due recognition. But two days earlier there
will occur the centennial anniversary of an
event which had even more influence than Bum
ker Hill upon the war, yet which has as yet
scarcely received mention. On the 18th of
June, 1875, the Continental Congress in session
at Philadelphia elected George Washington
Commander in Chief of all the forces raised
or to be raised for the defense of the colonies.
A little before this 1T had voted to enlist an
army of 20, 600 men, of which the militia and
minute men of New England were made the
nucleus. The defensive movements which be-
fore then were only local received national
endorsement, and the colonies were solidihed
into combined resistance to Great Britain.
