THAT 100000 SWINDLE.

AS was expected, the majority report on
the Southern Maryland Railroad swindle
has proved first class job Of legislative
whitewashing. The officers of the State
acted strictly in compliance with legal pro-
visions, and the whole matter resolving
itself into IA quarrel between two rival cor
porations, no one is to blame. 1t was APP
parent from the first, that no disclosures
were to be made. The refusal of the Com
mttee to summon witnesses. and to put
itself in possession of such facts as would
disclose the real participators in the fraud,
was done in the interest of other parties
than those appearing upon the surface of
the transaction. 1t is at least refreshing
to know that some protest was made against
the attempt to smother the case at the close
of the session, by shifting the responsible
ity Of it upon the shoulders of the Attor-
ney General.
Mr.. Constable, Of this county, refused to
vote for the report, and assigned as his
reasons THAT the investigation was stayed
g at the very point whore it promised to be
'fruitful of astounding results. That the
COMMITTEE declined to exercise in prose-
"cuting this inquiry, the powers vested in
sit by this House and the Constitution,
"and which it was the duty of the Com
"mittee to exercise in behalf of the House
land Of the people, the guardian of whose
"rights we are. That it would be indecent
Gas we'll as inconsistent to clamor for fur
ether powers to prosecute investigation as
"was done in the canal investigation upon
" frivolous grounds, and yet refuse to exer-
"cise power which they have, and which
"the highest interests of the State demand
"should be fully, fearlessly, and lmpartially
"put in force against the plunderers of the
estate Treasury"
Mr.. Constable thus forcibly stated the
gist of the whole affair. The State Treas
ury had been outrageously plundered in
this railroad swindle. The Committee had
the means of disclosing the whole transac-
ton and making as light as day the darkest
corner Of the job. 1t lacked the UHl, not
the pay, and the people Of the State are
ignorant of the facts of the case to day,
only because the shrewd managers at An
napolis only too well knew whose back
would be dashed, when the thrashing began.

Mr.. WoOlferd's Pension Case.

The minority report of the joint COM
mittee appointed to investigate the facts in
relation TO the Woolford pension scandal
was presented to the House on Friday
The report was signed by Messrs. Turner,
Farrow and Newcomer. After reviewing
the testimony, the committee concludes
that the Comptroller, Mr.. Woolford, did
endeaver to secure pension for man in
Somerset county, "who, as subsequent
" events painfully proved, was not entitled
to it" In conclusion, the report states,
With the testimony Of such men (Sena-
"tors Earle, Claggett and Jump before
sit, mistaken and unimpaired, the only
composing testimony being of a negative
I" and uncertain character, as presented in
"the report already before your honorable
"body, your committee is compelled to
"perform the unpleasant duty of submit
" ting this minority report"
If there is any doubt about the case, let
Mr.. Woolford have it; he needs it.

State Taxes.

The revenue BILL as passed by the Legis-
lature, provides for the levying of the
following State taxes for each of the years
1876 and 1877, vic:-5! cents on each 800
for the defense or bounty loan, the same
as heretofore; 10 cents for the public school
fund, a reduction of cents; : of cent
for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum loan, an
increase of J cent; of a cent for the
Maryland Hospital loan, the same as before,
making total of II cents on each 800,
to which will be added ! of cent provide d
for by the bill creating a loan of 1925, 900
to pay off the Indebtedness of Spring
Grove Asylum. The total provided for by
the revenue bill of 1874 was 10 cents on
each 500, as follows: 81 cents for defense
loan, 12 cents for public schools, a cent
for the Southern relief loan, NOW paid off, J
! of cent for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
loan, and of a cent for the Maryland
Hospital loan. There was also 1916 of a
cent rendered necessary by acts creating
special loans, making the entire total 20
SIG cents. The reduction for the next
two years will therefore be 8 SIG cents.

Secret Committees.

The failure of the confirmation of Mr..
Dana as Minister to England, is fitting
commentary upon the "true inwardness "
of Washington committees. In the secrecy
OF one of these political inquisitions, sew
eral personal enemies of Mr.. Dana struck
seems he failed to recover, SO far at least
as his confirmation is concerned. Here is
gentleman of undoubted integrity and
standing, confessedly one of the ablest
lawyers in Massachusetts,, who has been
unfortunate Tor rather fortunate enough
to provoke the enmity of Gen. Butler, by
personal differences growing out of ques
ton of copyright. Mr.. Dana has been
amply indicated so far as the charges rem
dered defence necessary. The fact has
been established over and over again that
the charges preferred secretly in the COM
mittee, and to answer which no opportun-
ity or notice was given Mr.. Dana or his
friends, were false and malicious, and were
the outgrowth of political animosity and
personal spite on the part of Butler and
others. 1t has been shown that Mr.. Dana
is eminently fitted for the position to which
the President has named him, and that be
would confer strength and dignity upon
the English mission. Yet notwithstand-
ing it all, his confirmation failed. The
personal animosity awakened against him
by few INSCRIPTIONS partisan politi.
clans, led by Gen. Butler, did it's work.
Let Butler look out for lively time when
next he runs for Congress lie will have
more to remember Mr. Dana and his friends
for.

THE adjournment of the Legislature will
atfiict no one, unless it be the mpecunions
members Of the majority, who hang on the
outer ring of the dominant party, and pick
every little bone thrown them from their
masters table. There were, alas, many
little bone pickers at Annapolis this Win
ter, although it is not generally supposed
that the season was as good for "game"
as usual. What blessing, could the tax
payers of the State enjoy an uninterrupted
period of prosperity for, say ten years
unmarried by Il session of a ring Legisla-
ture.
Yet, while undoubtedly so much that is
evil was concentrated in that body, we
must not forget the fact that there were
good men and true in that Legislature
Had it not been so, heaven only knows
what the consequence would have been
Let those men be honored. A number
could be named, more than one from Cecil,
whose voices were ever eloquently raised
against the tricks and corruptions of the
hungry crew who crowded the city.

The Elections.

The election for Governor, State Officers
and members of the Legislature in Connec-
ticut, was held on Monday. Returns give
Ingersoll, Democrat, 40. 400 votes; Robin
son, Republican, So, III; Smith, Prohibit
ZIONIST, 1850; Atwater, Greenbacker, SOL,
and scattering %. This is a Republican gain
of 1913 since last year. In the Third Con-
gressional District, Wait, Republican, is
elected to Congress by about 700 majority.
The State election in Rhode Island, on
Wednesday, resulted in the cho ice of the
Republican candidate for Secretary of
State, who was supported by the Prohibi
tionists, by very large majority, but no
choice for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor by the people. Lippitt, Republican,
has S,212; Howard. Prohibition, 1927;
Beach, Democrat, 8, 472. Lippitt will lack
about 1,400 of an election by the people.
For Secretary of State, Addemau, Republi-
can, has 1863; PIERCE, Democrat, 1851.
The other candidates on the Republican
State ticket run about even with the Gov
ernor, and will be elected by the General
Assembly, which will comprise in the
Senate p Republicans and Democrats,
and in the House CD Republicans and 8
Democrats.

THE New York Tribune is our authority

THE New York Tribune is our authority
for the following. If true, it is one of the
most Infamous schemes imaginable, it says.
Letters have been sent from Philadelphia
to young girls in the inland towns and vii
lagos, signed by Hayes, Arlington & Bro,
Agents for the Executive Committee,
stating that they wish to engage " comely
and respectable young ladies" to take
charge of flowers and news stands, act as
cashiers in refreshment departments, sell
pictures, books, etc, Wages Of So to SIS
are offered, besides expenses paid and "a
chance to see the grand Exhibition every
day." The girls are advised not to consult
their parents, as they might object to even
so advantageous scheme; but are re-
quested to come to Philadelphia at once,
when their work will be assigned them, and
wages paid in advance for four weeks
The letters are Autographed and have been
sent out in great numbers. The object of
the scheme is apperent to any woman of
ordinary sense and experience; but unfortu
nately, giddy girls in the country, anxious
for adventure and glimpse of the world,
have not enough of sense or experience to
to keep them from being entrapped by
this shallow device into ruin.

Belknap.

The formal presentation Of the articles
of impeachment against Gen. Belknap took
place at 1.15 O'Clock on Tuesday last. Next
OR his counsel must appear and make an
swer. Mr. Lord, of New York, chairman,
and Mr.. Hoar, Of Mass, are the leading
lawyers among the impeachment mana
gers. Gen. Belknap has retained as coun-
sci, Judge Black, ex-senator Carpenter
and Hon. Montgomery Blair. The trial
in consequence of the able legal talent en-
saged-will undoubtedly become cele-
brated one.

SELECT THE BEST MEN.

There never was period in the history
of national politics, when the disposition
of SO large a proportion of voters of both
the Republican and Democratic parties was
to ignore party lines and to assume posi-
ton of political independence, so far as
party organization is concerned. The great
mass of intelligent voters no longer lay
much stress upon mere political platforms,
and in the coming Presidential canvass the
records and antecedents of candidates will
The general inquiry will be directed to the
facts, of the personal character, and the
party associations, of nominees, and in
which can be found the safest guarantee
of national trusts. If then the Republican
party of the country expects success in the
canvass about to commence, it must be by
force of the high character, elevated per-
record, of the man it places at the head of
its ticket. Party availability will amount
to nothing. The demand for the highest
order of personal qualification, integrity,
and fitness in its nominees will take no
denial from those in whose hands lay the
success or defeat of it's candidates. Such
being the fact, it may safely be assumed
that the "business !" of the Cincinnati
Convention is an important one, so far as
the maintenance of Republican supremacy
is concerned. Looking to the status of the
men who are to become its standard bear
ers, and impressed fully with the character
of the demands made upon it as an organi-
cation, by the best elements of the people
upon whose support success is to be predi-
Gated, the conclusion is obvious that sue
cess is attainable only by the assertion of
party, in the selection of such delegates to
the National Convention, as will in their
unselfishness and devotion to Republican
ism, evince their good faith by their con-
duct as delegates.
The Cincinnati Convention will repre-
sent the aggregate interests of the whole
Republican party of the country, at its
door, State pride, or individual interest IN
the selection of this or that man, personal
schemes of party control or management,
are to be lost sight of; and the delegate
who goes to Cincinnati expecting to reap
increased personal or political influence by
seeking to secure the nomination of the
candidate whose success would most likely
assure it, represents there no one but him
self. That convention should be an unset
fish, harmonious, and deliberatve body of
men, free from the strifes and collisions
that have too often weakened and impaired
the influence of such bodies, and should in
every sense be representative.
To the end therefore, that Maryland
shall be represented by her ablest men at
Cincinnati, whose presence in the National
Convention will secure for her the recogni
ton she deserves, let the Republican vot-
ers of the county make it their business to
see that Cecil county sends her best men
as delegates to Frederick on the 4th of May.
Let the districts of the county send repre-
sentative men to the County Convention
called for the 18th inst, and place in the
hands of the soundest and truest Republi-
cans, the representation Of county Repub-
lican interests.
