FoR CoxPrRoLlER. DIR. s. r. Waters, Of
Carroll county, has been favorably named for
Comptroller. He received in his youth d
thorough business training in Montgomery,
his native county, and in Baltimore city. He
was student under the late Professor Dun
bar, and is a graduate of the University Of
Maryland. He has been successful physi-
cian in Carroll for twenty years Devoted to
the principles Of the Democratic party, he
has always taken an active interest in lis cause.
He was member Of the last House Of Del
egates, and made good record. He was
thoroughly identified with the. interests Of the
workingnen Of the City and State, and was n
most valuable and efficient member. A gen
heman Of business training and experience,
Of culture and ability, and universally esteem
ed he Is well qualified for the position Of
Comptroller
In this connection, we should state that the
Western Shore has not had Comptroller for
about fifteen years. The present incumbent,
from the Eastern Shore, has filled the position
for SIX years and is again an aspirant. Under
the circumstances, the Western Shore is en-.
titled, and Dr.. Waters will receive the hearty
support Of the people Of that section. Il 4
believed, moreover, his nomination will graf
ify. not only Western Maryland, but his M.
3 merons friends on the Eastern Shore and in
BMEinoRE.

The Beecher trial commenced on the
4th of January, and has been in progress
just six months to-day. The case was
given to the jury on Thursday Of last
week, and verdict has not yet been rem
dered.
The jury in the Tilton- Beeeher case were
brought into Court on Thursday, aud the
foreman stated 10 the Judge that they could
not agree; that they were hopelessly divided
on a question of fact, and that they could not
come any nearer an agreement il they re-
manned out n month II seems from Mr..
Carpenter statement that there is one per.
sistent juror only who is not willing to aban.
don the hope Of reaching verdict. Judge
Nelson was 10th to discharge them. He
called their attention TO the importance Of the
case, and sent them back to their room, pre-
yiously, however, instrueting them that they
were to pay no attention to the statements Of
Loader and Price. The jury retired and spent
their eighth night in confinement last night.
While these events were occurring in one
court room the trial of Loader for perjury was
in progress in another The evidence shows
that the false affidavit was obtained from
Loader by Hlton's counsel. aided BY Moul
ton, BY whom it was drawn up. Mr.. Beech
er's counsel in the damage suit have requested
that the jury b. informed Of the fact of the
talsity OF Loader and Prices statements, but
Mr.. Tilton's lawyers have declined TO permit
ito be communicated to them.

Grant snd the BLACK Kills.

Shortly after Gen, Custars report Of
his expedition to the Black Hills and Of
the richness IF The gold deposits in that
region, il win be rememberad that coun-
ter report was ssarted in the papers giving
Lieut.. Fred Grant as authority for the
statement that there was little OF no gold
there, or that accounts Of gold in the Black
Hills had been greatly exaggerated. Sus-
picion at once was felt that Lieut.. Fred
was playing a sly game at finesse, and that
be knew more Of the aurifsrous qualities
Of the Black Hills than he wished to be
made public. These suspicious have been
partly confirmed, If the following, which
we copy from the Nes York Sun, be
true:
The aid and comfort given BY President
Grant to the efforts to dishonor the national
name BY violating faith with the Sioux and
compelling them to give up their country to
the whites, In disregard Of treaty stipulations,
find explanation in the rumor, generally ac-
cepted as true, that his hopeful son Fred is

without doing day service with bis regiment
as the army regulations required he should
do. With such claims upon the public, i
would certainly be the height Of ingratitudS
for anybody to interfere with the consumma

they should entail an act Of gross injustice t.
the Indians, and perhaps savage warfare
between the outraged red men and the whites

at AZ cents on the Sl0O-35 cents for county

The rate last year was 40 cents on the 500,

higher encomium could be passed upon the
present Board Of Commissioners than that
they have managed the affairs in an economi.
cal manner, though not niggardly, and have
reduced the taxes. II is to be hoped that the

and the fire-proof vaults for the storing Of the
County Records finished as soon as possible.
