The Legislature of Maryland adjourned,
by constitutional limitation, Mt 12 o'clock on
Monday night, having been in session ninety
days 1t will be some weeks before the re.
suits OF the session are clearly seen and the
value Of its labors properly estimated. We
believe, however, that the greater part of the
legislation has been sound and useful. Ap.
preparations of money have been carefully
watched, and designing members have found
very little opportunity of having questiona-
BILE schemes passed. 1t has heretofore been
customary to reserve all such until the clos
ing hours of the session, and then amid the
hurry and confusion SNAKE" them through.
This time, however, honest members were
thoroughly alert and watchful, and every bill
the provisions of which were not clearly I'm.
derstood, or which could not be explained
promptly and satisfactorily, was strangled
by striking out the enacting clause Some
good bills, perhaps, were thereby lost, but
many well-laid scheme of plumber WAS
doubtless also destroyed, so that the balance
is on the side of public good
Legislation was seriously interlered with,
during the first of the session, by duties de-
volving upon the members in connection with
election contests and Investigations so that
the closing days were crowded with work.
Three sessions day were held during the last
week, and although business was put
through rapidly, it was closely watched
Nearly four hundred bills were passed, and
every one of these, we venture to say, will
receive careful scrutinizing by the Govern
or before he signs it, All bills not signed
before Tuesday next, the 11h instant, will
fail to become law
After the adjournment Of the Legislature
on Monday night the members and others
were invited to u reception at the Governors
mansion, where they were handsomely en-
tertained by Governor Carroll. The Gov
ernor's speech of welcome was SO cordial
and pleasant as to Danish every lingering
trace of bitterness growing out of past polit.
ical differences, and Republicans, Democrats
and Reformers forgot for the time that they
were such, and only remembered that they
were Marylanders, actuated by q common
purpose, although seeking it by different
means-the welfare of the people.

The indianapolis Herald of Saturday last
publishes long, detailed and apparently
serious account of the alleged finding of lit
tie Charley Ross, in that city, by a detective.
i states that he was found dressed in girls
clothes, ragged, dirty and miserable, and in
possession of an Italian organ grinder and
his wife. This couple declare that he was
left in their charge by n man in Chicago, who
paid them So n week for his board. The
meeting between Mr.. Ross and his child is
described as pathetic beyond description
The little boy, the Herald states, was to be
taken to his home in Philadelphia Saturday
night. The whole story is without doubt a
First of April hoax and MS such it is n most
cruel heartless and scnselcss Joke. which no
decent, respectable editor could have writ

THE JENIFER ARABIAN-This splendid
horse was in Bel Air last Friday and Satur-
day, and ELECTED great admiration. He was
bred on the desert by the Bedoun Arabs,
and is of the purest and best blood of Arabia,
having the traditional marks of the pure
bred Arabans, which descended from Mo
manned to the present Arabs. In color he
is grey, with silver name and tail, perfect in
form, style and action, and is altogether as
pretty as picture. He was imported into
Maryland by Col. w. II. Jcuifer, of the
Egyptian cavalry, by permission OF the Khe.
dive of Egypt.
1t is worth visit to Bel Air to see this
magnificent animal. He will be here every
other Friday and Saturday, at the Changers
Hotel.

COLLECTION OF TAXEs-Both Houses of
the Legislature, before adjournng, passed n
bill, introduced by Mr.. Boyle, which makes
change in the mode of appointing CoIlec-
tors of ta:.es for Hartford county The bill
provides that the collection of taxes shall be
let out annually, before the third Tuesday in
April, to the lowest bidder or bidders, "hay-
ing n good business qualification for said
Office"
Any one bidding for the collection of taxes
may put in bid or bids for one Or more of
the several districts, provided that the second
and sixth districts shall, as heretofore, be con-
sidcred one collection district.
A bond is to be filed with each bid, on the
same conditions as are now required.
Notice is to be given in the county papers
of the time of receiving bids, and the County
Commissioners are required to hold an open
session for one hour for the reception ofbids.
when the same shall be opened and their de-
esion made.
If no bids are received from any district,
the Commissioners may again advertise for
proposals, or appoint the collector for such
district.
The rate ofpercentage for collecting the
taxes is fixed by the law ut not exceeding
five per cent.
The law is not to take effect until the first
day of January, 1877.
1t is estimated that the proposed law will
effect large reduction in the amount paid
for the collection of taxes, and it has been SO
framed that the Commissioners may exercise
proper judgment and discretion in the selec.
tion of tax collectors

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-The re-
cent session of the Legislature was fruitful
in Investigations, and although the charges
brought were grave and serious, the results
do not disclose such an alarming state of
facts as was alleged. In regard to the in.
Vestigation OF the affairs of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, the Directors have cause to
feel grateful, for the result has been that the
charges have not only been dsproved, but
the excellence Of their management has been
shown in most favorable light The pco-
pie OF the State are now more familiar with
the canal and its workings, and are satisfied
with the results obtained by the present
board of directors
The investigating committee of the Senate,
appointed in this case, reported last week.
Their report establishes the fact that the
charges made against the Directors were
groundless and unjust, and the object was
simply to aim blow at the Democratic
party! The majority report, signed by Sena.
tors Lloyd and Ford, states that all the
charges made against the president and d..
rectors and the preferred bondholdors are
entirely disproved, and that the canal has
never been under more successful manare-
ment than at present. Its accounts are kept
in the most accurate manner and will bear
the closest scrutiny, and the policy ofthe di.
rection is not only to secure profit to the
State from her large investment in it, but
TO assist in greater development of the great
local interests of Western Maryland. And
the committee say that, in view of all the
evidence, the Legislature and the people of
the State should emphatically condemn all
persons who have so wantonly assailed the
good names of the managers of this great
work The committee hopes the canal will
be protected by such legislation as will secure
10 il the right to just share of all that bust.

promote,

The Republicans, it appears, have grown
very suspicious of Secretary Bristows loyal
ty to their party because he has received
the commentator of the Democratic press
for his vigorous pursuit and overhauing of
the whisky ring plunderers. Accordingly,
the National Republican,, of Washington,
which is said to be President Grants organ,
makes very bitter attack upon him, assert
ing that the praise of the campaign against
the ring thieves is due to President Grant
himself and not TO Bristow. 1t calls upon Mr..
Bristow to give some proof of his continued
fealty 10 the Republican party, on pain of
being read out of it. If Secretary Bristow
continues his warfare on dishonest officials
and desires to remain in his party, he must
