Freedoms Death Bed.

The Repu blicans elected President and
that Was the death blow of freedom. Then
South Carolina seeded and that put free
dom on her c,mely legs again. Then seces-
sion played out, and South Carolina COL
lapsed, and freedom died q second death.
TIE negroes were set free and freedom died
a third death. They were made voters and
freedom died a fonrth time. Then Wade
Hampton ran for Governor and freedom re-
viyed again. Chamberlain defeated him
and freedom got her fifth death blow.
Luckily Hampton concluded to make an in
augural address, and up popped free
dom once more, after all her numerous
deaths, like an irrepre ssible jick-in-
the-box. Healthy people are getting
tired of these Democratic obituary
notices of freedom. 1t is becoming
monotonous, as the boarder observed when
he sat down to his three hundred and sixty
fifth meal of hash. This, after all, is the
freess and happiest nation in tho world.
Its people are less oppressed than any other.
1t is the only country in the world where
the supply of food and clothing far exceeds
consumption, and where q good farm may
be had from the government for the asking.
There is plenty of freedom here yet tor
honest people who attend to their own bust.
ness. The Democratic undertakes, who
are only jolly in the atmosphere of vaults
and cemeteries, ought to stand aside and
not have another funeral procession fol-
freedom for ct least four years.-LoMisril!e

An Old Dispute Settled.

The Maryland and Virginia Boundary
Commission, which has been considering
for nearly two years the long disputed
question Is to the boundary line between
those two States. has made up its decision,
and it is believed to be favorable to Mary
land. The commission was orr finally com
posed of Judge Black of Pennsylvania,
Judge Graham Of North Carolina, who
were appointed by Virginia and Maryland,
aud Judge Jenkins Of Georgia, who was
chosen umpire. The case was presented to
the commission by the legal representatives
of both sides at Saratoga in the summer OF
of 1875, but shortly thereafter Judge Ora
ham died, and this necessitated the appoint
ment of new commission and the re-presen-
tation of the whole case. Senator Beck,
Of Kentucky, was appointed to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death Of Judge
Graham, and the commission met at Cape
May last summer, and the whole eubject
was gone over q second time. After The
evidence was all in more than thirty days
were consumed in arguments, and then
there were come obscure points on which
the commission desired still further evi.
dence. This was presented at the last
meeting in this city, and after some addl-
t;onal argument the commission agreed
uuen it's award, and authorized Judge
Black to write the opinion, and then al.
iourned to meet here on the fourth Of Janu-
ary, 1877, to make public their decision.
The award will he in favor OF Mary land,
and will give that State the control Of the
fisheries OF the Potomac river and the valu-
able oyster privileges about which there
has been 90 much dispute in the past
