MORTON FOR NEW TRIAL.-On Tues
day Judge Walters heard the motions for
new trial and motions in arrest of Judgment,
in the case of Thomas r. Archer, convicted
at the May term of court of assault with in
tent TO murder James III. Monks. The case
was argued for the State by J. Thos. G.
Hopkins, States Attorney and George Y.
Maynadier, Esq, and for the prisoner by
VIM. Young and Henry w. Archer Esqs.-
1t was argued in support of the motions
that the Sheriff had not taken the oath pre-
scribcd by the Code, which requires that the
Sheriff, upon returning IL list of talcsmen
summoned shall make oath that they have
not been selected upon the recommendation
of any person. Also HAT the Sheriff has not
taken the oath of Office prescribed by the
Constitution of the State. The form of oath
required by the Constitution is rs follows:
81 - do swear that will support the
Constitution of the United States; and that
l will be faithful and bear true allegiance 10
the State Of Maryland, and support the Con.
stitution and laws thereof; and that | viii,
to the best of my skill and Judgment, dill.
gently and faithfully, 3Cth0Ut pHrti,Hy or
prejudice, execute the Office of Sheriff." &c.
In the oath taken by Sheriff IIanway the
words 'without partially or prejudice"
were by II clerical error omitted in the
Test Book. The oath, rs taken by the pres
ent heritf is the same one that has been la.
ken by Shcritls and their deputies ever since
the adoption Of the Constitution in 1867
1t was in evidence That the Sheriff, upon
being ordered to summon ,alcsmcn, had ask
ed certain persons the names Of reliable men
in their section of the county; that from the
names thus presented he had selected and
summoned the tulCsmcn. 1t was therefore
argued that the Sheriff did not select the tai
csmen himself, hut summoned those who
were selected and recommended to him,
In opposition to the motion the counsel
| for the State read authorities showing that
incgulariIy in summonng jury unless
abuse or injury had been done, was no rca.
son for granting new trial. There was no
recommendation To the Sheriff of talesmcn
To serve in the case. He only asked the
names of reliable men, and made the sclcc-
ton as the law required. As to his oath, he
had taken substantially the oath of Office re-
quired by the Court. Counsel argued That
the motion was entirely discretionary with
the Court, and that this principle was sus-
tanned by Il variety of decisions both in this
country and England.
| After hearing the arguments, judge Wat
lcrs ovcrruIcd both motions. The case will
now probably so 10 the Court Of Appeals

who offers lot free, besides doing his share
in the way of contributions, and il is thought
"as revolutions never go backwards" that it

palians and move it to the grounds of Mr..

house for worship, and they too have an eye
on the Grace cdifice. How the mattcrwill end

succeed in their contemplated project.
While on the subject of new buildings |

The Great Explainer.

Elk Speaker Blaine is again obliged to rise
to explain a suspicious circumstance grow
ing out of q letter written by him in 1870 tc
a friend in Boston, which letter has been
brought to light in the New York Sun Of
last Saturday.
In this letter Mr.. Blaine urges his fiicnd
to form pool of $4,000 to be raised by ten
persons, for an investment in Northern Pa
cific Railroad bonds. He obligingly tells his
friend that for an investment of $25 900 he
would ultimately get $40, 600 and the avail S
of 2700O acres of land. lie adds:
"The chance Is very rare one I can't
touch it, but obey my first and best impulse
in offering it to you"
He also speaks of additional legislation
having been obtained, and that by strange
revolution Of circumstances" he is "again
able to control an interest in the road
The Northern Pacific had at that time Just
secured legislation favorable to its interests,
and the strange revolution of circumstan.
Cos" may have had reference TO some pecu-
liar influence ho had acquired over the man
ayers of the road.
In accordance with his suggestion the
purse of $25 600 was made up, and the
money sent to Blaine in trust" for which he
WAS to deliver the stock spoken of in his let
For some unexplained reason, however,
H. Blaine was unable to deliver the stock,
and the money was returned.

LOCAL OPTION IN CAROLINE COUNTY
The vote on Local Option was taken in Caro-

was adopted in every district. The total vote
was 1867 and the majority in the county 421.
The Denton Journal, announcing the result,
says:
So Caroline to-day stands every district
for Local Option and it is the only county in
the State that SO stands The people will
generally accept the result without much dis
satisfaction or complaint, though many of
our best and most prominent citizens believe
that moral suasion is the true means of adj
vancing the temperance cause and that the
liqnor question can never he settled by Local
Option or rrohibitory laws.
