HosTILITIEs CoNcLUDED.-0n Saturday of last
week there was meeting of the railroad mag
mates in New York city concerning the difficult
ties between the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn
sylvania roads. Vice President King of the Bal.
timsre and Ohio, and President Scott, Vice
President Cassett and Assistant President Green
of the Pennsylvania read were present at the
meeting. The object Of the meeting seemed to be
to bring the war between these two giant corpo-
rations 10 close. A plan of settlement was
suggested and discussed and finally agreed upon
subject to the ratification of the Directors of both
Companies. Meetings of the Directors were to be
held for the purpose of considering these PROPOSE
lions on Wednesday of this week. The terms of
agreement, it is surmised, are that the Baltimore
and Ohio road should have the same access to
New York over the Pennsylvania roads as it had
before the commencement OF hostilities between
the Companies. Pennsylvania Company tickets
are to be placed at all the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pots south for sale, and the Baltimore and Ohio
tickets are to be placed at the Pennsylvania de-
pots for sale. The Baltimore and Ohio Company
is to fix the rates from Baltimore city to the West
in accordance with the requirements of her geo.
graphical situation and this arrangement is to be
observed by the Pennsylvania Company. Spec
ulaton Of some of the magnates of the other great
lines declare that there can be but little chance of
increasing the rate of freight as it is scarce and
all lines to the West are competing for it. The
settlement seems to be in conflict with President
CARROTS statement of the increased earnings of
the road during the war

A CENTENARIAN.-The Mail says that the wild
ow of the late Col. David Schneby who was
born February 18th, l773, and is now in her
l03d year, retains her accustomed vigor and
good health. Mrs Schnebly lives on the farm
of her husband, on the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road, near the line of FRANKLIN county, in Wash
ington county, Maryland. Her fathers farm
where she was married on the 18th of May,
1893, is in the same neighb0rheod. The Nail
adds;
''Her last visit to town was in the Fall ofl974,
when she came In upon business which she trans
acted in person, getting out of her carriage as
she always does, in the Public Square, in front
of the Nail office door, and Gassman's corner
During the preceding month Of August she made
a special visit to the town in the same manner to
pay her taxes, which she has for many years at
tended to in person. She was then accompanied
by her nece-Mrs. Greenbury Wilson, of Balti-
more-and by Mr.. Teisher, and insisted upon
walking from the square to the Court House and
back, and did So without the slightest inconve-
nienoe We learn from Mr. Teisher, that she is
now discussing the Centennial of re, and if liv-
ing and as we'll and strong as she now is, will
certainly make the pilgrimage to Philadelphia :;
and we imagine that among those then present
on that occasion, il there should be one who can
number the same honoted years as she, there
certainly will not be one thus honored, whose
perception of the occasion will be more acute
than hers. We also learn from the same gentle
man that she is now preparing for another visit
to our town, end may, perhaps, within the next
week-the weather being so inyltiug--be seen
upon our streets. Mrs. Schueby has made since
attaining her hundredth year, her birthday
family anniversary now three times repeated, at
which her select friends have seated themselves
at her board, presided ever by herself"
Mrs. Schnebly visited our town on Monday last
and appeared to be in her usual health and spirits

rs There seems to nave been considerable
manipulation and stuffing connected with the
recent primary meetings of the Democracy in
Baltimore city according to the statements OF
some of the unterrfed themselves. 1t ap-
pears that there were about Is, 900 votes polled
in space of time which only allowed half
minute to look for the name on the registry
list, make all necessary inquiries concerning
the applicants right to vote, &c, Then they
the Democrats-say that there was fraud per-
petrated at the election. Secret agents were
employed to detect this fraud and these detec-
tions have been talked out loud between the
Gazette and some Democrats who do not be-
lieve in running things according to the prac-
tees detected. One correspondent after deal
ing the Gazette some healthy blows, strikes
square at somebody who stands higher in the
political estimation. He says ''It is the base
political instigators and hypocrites clothed in
the garb of assumed decency that stand in the
back ground, yelled from public view, that
should be dragged forth to the sunlight of day
and exposed to the condemnation and derision
of all honest men,"
If this could be made palmer it might reveal
the form ofsome distinguished Democratic mag
nate who wears the reputation of honesty and
purity. And if all the facts were made public
they might illuminate the programme by
which voting is done at the general election.

ga9~ There is good promise that American
Agriculture will be credtably represented at
the American Centennial at Philadelphia in
1876. The capital invested in operating the
agriculture ofthe United States aggregates over
thirteen thousand millions of dollars, while
the manufacturing of the nation represents
only capital of less than four thousand mil
lions of dollars. One agricultural club propos-
es to exhibit 800 specimens of neat cattle.
It should not be forgotten that nearly one
half of the population of the United States that
is engaged in active pursuits are devoting their
labofs to agriculture 1t is anticipated that no
one department of the centennial exhibition
will be likely to excite SO much attention and
admiration from foreign visitors as the agri-
cultural department 1t is gratifying to us to
know that there is energy enough awakened
to have the farming interest creditably repre-
sented at the great show next year.

Che appointment of Gen. George Washington,
Commander-in-chief of the American army in
the Revolution. That occurred one hundred
years ago on Tuesday of this week-June 18th,
1775. "My Maryland" enjoys the proud hon
or Of having made this nomination through
one of her Representatives in the Continental
Congress, Thomas johnson, who was after
wards one of her governors. What influence
this act of one of Maryland's sons of hundred
years ago exerted upon the destinies of the
American Colonies and their final liberation
from the Dominion of Great Britain is beyond
the power of man to divine. His appointment
dated two days prior to the battle of Bunker
Hill. He hsgtened to the seat of war i'll and
around Boston and at once took charge of the
American army. For more than seven years
he was the central figure around which the
Colonial forces rallied in defense of their coun-
try. Having lead them successfully to indie
pendenee he resigned his commission at An
napelis, December 23d, 1888.

The London Times of May goth, con-
tanned lengthy editorial complimenting the
American Republic for the promptness with
which the people recognized their obligation
to pay off the national debt and the determi-
nation with which they set themselves to work
to redeem those obligations. 1t says: "Since
the close of the war which left them loaded
with debt in magnitude surprising that of all
i'm portant nations except our own, they have
reduced it by more than one-fourth." 1t shows
that the close of the English war against the
first Napoleon left Great Britain with nation
al debt of eight hundred and forty millions
and then says sin these sixty years we have
not paid off as much of our debt in actual
amount as the United States have discharged
in ten years without going into any considera-
ton Of the proportion which would be still
m ore against US. The editorial then refers to
the fact that notwithstanding the embarrasS-
ments that were produced by the crisis of 1873,
President Grants administration paid off near
ly twelve millions of the debt last year. All
this shows that frst-class English minds con-
slider that the United States has done more and
is doing more towards the redemption of our
national debt than any other nation has ever
been known to do under similar circumstances
When the effects of the crisis shall have passed
away we may confidently expect return to
the redemption of fifty millions per annum.

be issued by him. Mr.. Cahen, the appellant in
this case, with all other applicants having been

THE MARYLAND DEMOCRACY, says the Wash
ington Daily Critic, appears to be very much
exercised over the recent very palpable frauds
in the primary elections of that party in the
city of Baltimore, at which the impossible
number of over $4,000 votes were cast, and re-
suited in securing large majority for Mr..
Carroll, as the candidate for Governor. Sena-
tor Hamilton was the opposing candidate from
Western Maryland, which claims to be entitled
to the place by usage and on the ground of the
merit of its candidate but it is charged that
the issue made up in the primary election was
a religious one, and that Mr.. Carroll, being a
Catholic, was elected by the influence of that
Church, against appropriations to which a
large party has arrayed itself in the city of
Baltimore. 1t is always matter of regret to
see religious questions dragged into the politi-
cal arena, but they who do it must take the
consequences. The prospect is for bitter
fight in the Democratic party of Maryland on
this issue.

WASHINGTON IN SUMMER.-Those who have Wis
tied Washington only during gay winter season
would scarcely recognize it at this season Of the
year as the same city In winter, it is, perhaps,
the gayest city within the whole country, not ex-
cepting even New York. The great men of the
nation, the wealth OF the country, are here as
sembied, and there seems at times to be a rivalry
among them as to which can spend the most
Money give the finest receptions, and present
the most fashionable appearances. The vast
number Of splendid equipages and richly capari-
soned horses, rushing to and fro ; the crowds of
richly and indeed extravagantly dressed ladies
that are seen going from house to house to make
their morning or afternoon calls; the brilliantly
Illuminated mansion of the high in position and
wealthy ones of the land are not to be seen now,
such scenes having been transferred TO otker and
more genial climes-where in winter, there were
large and joyous assemblies are now desoIate-
looking houses, and the place of the expensive
window decorations are now supplied by cob
webs and dust Notwithstanding all this, Wash
ington, 10 be seen in all its beauty, must be seen
in summer. Its long and beautifully improved
streets, lined either side with shade trees, the
growth of which within the past two years has
been truly remarkable, its extensive public parks
and lovely gardens, pertaining the surrounding
atmosphere with the fragrance of their great va
rety of flowers, combine to make it the attrac-
tive spot ii is for visitors during the heat of
summer and one cannot visit the Capitol or pub
lie buildings during the long warm days of June
or July without being astonished at the number
of strangers who are inspecting their numerous
attractions. The registers Of visitors kept at the
Patent Office, Smithsonian Institute and Agri-
cultural Department. as well as that kept at the
Corcoran Art Gallery, show constant number
Of visitors at each Of those places at sill seasons Of
the year. 1t is not to be wondered at with all
its attractions that Washington is destined to be
the future permanent home of the wealth and in-
iuence of the American nation, and no stranger
can pay it a visit at this season of he year and
depart with regret at having done So Washing
