MrsANTHnoPY. Misanthropy is born
of conceit, and expresses itself in mo.
rose ill-will, in the restlessness of sus.
picion, the severity OF rude censori-
BUSINESS, the bitterness of envy, and the
unscrupulousness of pride. 1t is emil
nenty selfish principle. 1t confines
the arrogance of vanity with the peev-
ishness of babtusl ill-temper. It is not
only predisposed to exaggerate the CON-
mon miserles of men; it is indisposed to
contribute anything to their mitigation.
1t it weeps, it is from the sorrow of
self.pty, rather than from tender SYM
patty with others; and it more frequent
ly INDUCES cruel joy over the grlefs it
delights to depict. Its laugh is hoarse
with malice. 1t blasphemes God, while
it maligns mankind. Its pleasure is to
give others pain. stead of admins
tering a salntary reproof to the hayward,
it.tannts him into persistency, and then
mocks his folly. Its weapon is satire its
habits scandal. 1t leers and grins, and
croaks. 1t is heartless, remorseless and
hopeless.
WILSON, the genial registry agent at
Hike, met queer one the other day in

to say you were not born in Ireland?"
"Of course l was; and came to New
York and from there out here, but the
bloody minded muskeetoes ye have here
sucked out every drop of my Irish blood
and now I'm full.booded American"
There was some philosophy as we'll as
fun in this reasoning, but it had no eff

BABCoCK AGAIN.-P resident Grants .eX-
Private Secretary has turned up again in a
most disagreeable light. He is now charg-
ed, upon the sworn evidence of Col. Whit
ley, late Chief of detectives of ihe Treasury
Department, with being the concoctor, alder
and abettor of the infamous safe burglary
plot. 1t will be recollected that in 1874,
Columbus Alexander and other respectable
citizens of Washington, were endcavoring to
rescue the District OF Columbia from the
hands of Boss Shepherd and his band of
thieves, so as to put stop TO the plundering
of the tax payers. Certain books, which it
was thought would throw some light upon
the transactions Of the Ring, were wanted,
but they were not forthcoming, A plot was
then concoctcd by the Ring conspirators
whereby the safe in the District Attorney
Office was blown open and books and papers
distracted. The arrangement was to induce
Mr.. Alexander to take these books, &c, from
the pretended burglars, and then arrest him
ON the charge of burglary. The scheme fail
ed, so far rs Mr.. Alexander was. concerned,
and its only result was to fix the guilt of
Shepherd and his confedcratcs in the minds
of all honest persons. General Babcock s
connection with this infamous piece Of ras-
caliy has been shown by the evidence of
Col. Whitley. If Babcock escapes the peni.
Tertiary Justice in Washington must be deaf
as well as blind.

THE PRESIDENT IN A QuANpARY.-On
Thursday of last week the House of Repre-
sentatives passed the Senate bill reducing the
pay of the President after the 4th of March
next to $25 900. The President will be pla-
ced in II qunndary when called upon to sign
the bill lie promptly approved the bill in
creasing his pay to $4,000, and now he is
called upon to approve an net which will
make the pay of his successor the same ms
that of his predecessors. Should he II .'proye
il, it would bc confession that he has taken
$25 900 annually more then he needed, and
il he vetoes it courtesy would require that he
state his reasons, and he could not make it
appear that his expenses have been anywhere
near the large sum annually paid to him.

A SUCCESSFUL SwfNDLE. A colored
WAGNER, from Deer Creek, was grievousy
swndlcd in Baltimore, a few days ago, by q
colored sharper. The wagner had just driv-
en- into stable yard. when lie was accosted
by colorcd stranger, who asked him ques-
ton or two and then handed him q card,
asking him if he could tell him where TO find
the parties whose names were printed on the
card This was done to ascertain whether
the wagner could read or not. The sharper
then remarked that he had had good luck that
day, and as evidence of it showed the wagon
er n gold dollar, saying he would like to sell
it. The bait took. A price was agreed up on,
and before separating, the colored brother
from Hartford had invested $25 current money
of the United States in counterfeit coin. He
went home sadder but wiser, satisfied from
his own experience that all is not gold that
giitters. He ought TO punch holes in his
t"gold" pieces, and use them as buttons
They would serve as perpetual reminder of
his folly.

Coon FRIDAY.-This day Good Friday, is
solcmnly observed in every part OF the world
where the Christian religion has obtained n
ioothold, as the anniversary of the Great
Event that transpired on Mount Calvary

Son of God, in the form of humanity, suffer-
ed the excruciating agony of death upon the
cross to atone for the sins oft the whole world.

copal churches Good Friday is marked by
the most solemn religious services and by n
rigorous fast The Lutheran and Reformed
churches, rs well as many Methodists, also

gous services.

The Republicans in Trouble.

The Republicans Of Maryland are in most
inharmonious state, as appears from tie bitter
fight going ON among them in regard to the
selection of delegates to the State Republi-
can Convention. The editor of the Balt.
more american, Mr.. c. G. Fulton, on Mon
day published manifesto declaring war upon
the Administration officials, whom he charges
with desire 10 control the State Conven-
ton. Mr.. Fulton declares unequivocally in
favor of Blaine and Bristow, and claims that
TO be the unanimous sentiment of Maryland
Republicans, outside of the "coterie" led by
Collector Booth and composed of the Custom
House officials The contest appears to us
to be simply selfish one, and merely to Sc
cure political influence with the incoming
Administration, should it happen to be Reb-
publican.
There is one point in Mr.. Fulton's letter
which furnishes food for thought to those
Democrats who honestly believed last fall
that they could do their State service by
abandoning for time the Democratic ranks,
and uniting with the Republicans. The edi-
tor of the american still claims the Reform
ers as allies of the Republicans, and hopes
with their aid to carry the State of Maryland
for the Republican candidate for President.
We are satisfied in this he is over sanguine
and counts without his host Whatever
differences may divide Democrats in State
affairs, they are not prepared to turn the
State over to the tender mercies of Radical
ism. There is certainly at this time no beau.
ty in Radicalism that Democrats should de-
sire to embrace it. The astounding revela-
tions at Washington are not calculated to
induce seekers after political purity to rush
into the Republican ranks to obtain it. 1t is
evident that the Republicans have no inten-
ton of surrenderiug their distinctive party
principles, even for the sake ofbringing about
q reform in politics; and it is also plain, from
the letter alluded to, that the cry of ere
FORM" shouted so Justify last fall by the
american, was for no other purpose than to
ALLEVIATE Democrats from their party in order
that they might be added to the Republican
ranks at the coming Presidential election.
The practices of Republican so-called Re.
formers do not coincide with their profess
sions, and until they agree, we have good rea-
son to doubt their sincerity. The contest
among our Republican friends seems to be
simply one between the outs and ms, in
which Democrats have no concern. Our adj
vice to them is to keep hands off.

Local Affairs.


LITTLE LOCALS:
The rate of taxation in Prince Georges

new weekly paper, TO be called the Cheaa-
peake INDEPENDENT

ford county, has been elected keeper of
Madison Square, Baltimore:
Mr.. August Martin has enlarged and
greatly improved his store room in Bel Air
1t is now one of the handsomest in the town
The new liquor license law for Cecil
county is similar to the Hartford county law
1t requires bond of $780, instead of 81 ,0O0
The Bel Air Bone Mills, Nlessrs Carlisle
It Co., are now run day and night to supply
the demand for their pure ground raw and
soft bone.
VIM. Hanway, of David of this county,
and friend, were thrown from their buggy,
in Baltimore last Friday, by sudden fright
ofthe horse. Their injuries were slight.
The appearance of a mad dog, in the
eastern section of this town. on Tuesday
morning, caused considerable alarm. For
tunately the dog was killed before biting
anybody. 1t is not known where he came
from.
The fishing season is now fairly opened,
though the catch this far has been small.
The Messrs Carvers at Cranberry" made
their first haul on Saturday last, catching
some 800 herring and few shad Shad are
selling at SIS per hundred, and herring at
$2.-Republican
Governor Carroll on Friday signed the
new liquor license law for Hartford county,
and on Saturday Capt. Jarrett, Clerk of
Court, commenced to issue licenses. The
difficulty of complying with the law and the
greatly increased cost of license, it is to be
hoped, will deter many from engaging in the
business
DIR, James NJ Magraw recently placed Il
large number of young California salmon in
attain a length of three feet, and are said to
be admirably adapted to streams like those
of Hartford. With the protection afforded by
the new fish law in few years our waters
will abound in delicious fish.
We arc requested to correct misappre.
hension that seems to have arisen in relation
to the order of the School Commissioners
continuing the Colorcd Schools of the county
during the summer term. The fund for color
ed schools is set apart by law rs entirely
separate and distinct from any other
and must be used exclusively for the colorcd
schools. This fund not being exhausted
there can be no reason why it should not be
used in keeping open the colored schools
AT the same time it is to be regretted that
the white schools must be closed for want OF
sufficient funds.

sent from home until 6 o'clock, 2. NJ. On ar

finding nothing on fire, | ran to the room occu.

the room filled with smoke. After hosting u

1t was these bed clothes ms | afterward discoy-

of her features, her eyes also being closed as IN
