OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Deadhead.

FRosTBURG, MD., MARCH BOTH, 1876.
Mr.. Editor The following interesting
item was found in the Sun of to-day:
The DcadheaG Question is said to be
troubling the centennial commission. In
view of all experience it would seem the
wisest plan to charge a moderate sum
say twenty-five cents-for admission to the
centennial grounds, and abolish the NUS
ance of deadheadism absolutely. No free
tickets should be issued to anybody This
should be rule without exceptions.
Neither the officers of the government nor
any one else should be permitted to enter
the centennial grounds without paying for
it as everyone else does. Why should
they? Deadheadism has been an unmiti-
gated nuisance to every public and private
, enterprise ever started. At the same time
the admission fee as we have indicated
should be small, so rs to enable the great
masses of the people to avail themselves of
this mode Of celebrating independence
Such course will give general satisfaction
and produce the largest returns.
Would it not be well for the San and
particularly the Suns patrons, indeed, the

THE Duty ON CoA1-On Wednesday
senator Davis, OF W est Va, Representatives
walsh and h',perts, of Md, and Mr..
Charles L. F.ayer, of Baltimore, s,lperin
tendent OF the Dcspard Coal Company of
"es' irgina, had Il hearing before the
eo"' .nittee on ways and means in OPPOSE
VJn to the placing of hiiuminous coal on
the free list, as proposed in The Morrison
tariff bill. Mr.. Mayer made the principal!
statement, and showed that to put bitumi-
nous coal on the free list would rebound
almost exclusively TO the benefit Of gas com
panies, who it canhot be cuntcndel need
much protection. The present duty on
bituminous coal is - cents u ton, and the
amount realized from this source the last
fiscal year was 1881 900. 1t was demon
strated that even with the duty 1t was as
much as the bituminous coal interests of
Maryland and West Virgininia could do to
hold their own, and if the duty was re-
moved it would enure mainly to the bene-
fit of New England, whose interests are
pretty well protected now. From the opin-
ions expressed by the committee it is be-
lieved that bituminous coal will be struck
from the free list before the bill is reported
to the House, but if this is not done by the
committee it will be done in the House,

A COMPARISON FROM THE PENITETIARY.
George Alfred Townsend C'Gath') has
examined the Maryland Penitentiary record
and draws therefrom several comparisons
which speak well for the population of
Allegany county. We are glad to copy
them because they confirm impressions
made upon all who have had opportunity
and intelligence to note the high law -abid-
ing qualities of our people
Allegany county, considering its popula-
ton and the rough vocations of its miners,
mountaineers and canal boatmen, appears
to be one OF the most moral parts of the
State, sending but ten persons native to the
county and only nineteen resident there.
On the other kand Anne Arundel county
sends "A, three-quarters of them born in her
limits. Dorchester county, which one
would think to be moral region, with
such town as Cambridge sends 25 con-
yicts, though it has only 10000 population,
while Cecil, with 10000, sends but 81. One
would suppose that Washington county,
with its basis of German population, would
prove more orderly than A'legany where
there is much Irish and Scotch-Irish blood
and good deal of faction-but Wsshine-
on county supplies q convicts with RI 600
people, and Allegany with 81 300 supplies
but 49, '''

Cronin's Conspiracy.

CToHin'S conspiracy.
Portland, Dec. SIN an interview
with Watts to-day, lie stated positively
that when Secretary Chadwick slipped
the certificates of the election through
the door into Cronin's hand, the other
electoral candidates present asked what
the sealed envelope contained. Cronin
answered that it contained certificates
of election. Watts, Cartwright and
Odell asked TO see the certificates, but
Cronin declined to allow them. The
request was made three times by the
electors named and each time denied.
The electors then demanded that he
should produce the certificates, which
Cronin refused in the most emphatic
terms. at the same time thrusting the
envelope into his breast pocket and
buttoning his coat. The electors aver
that no one in the room but Cronin
saw what he claimed as the certificates,
and SO far as they had positive or judi
cial knowledge the envelope contained
nothing except blank slips. He claimed
that he was an eleetor, and said he had
a certificate, and asked permission to
act with Cartwright and Odell. These
gentlemen did not refuse at any time to
recognize him or to act with him. They
demanded that he should exhibit his
certificate and show what right he had
to claim a seat in the electoral board.
This he also positively refused to do.
Cronin himself withdrew and declared
that as the other two gentlemen re-
fused to act, there existed two vacan-
cies in the board, which he proceeded
to fill by appointing Miller and Parker,
two Democrats, and then cast the So
called electoral ballot of the state.
The Republican electors, after cast
ing the electoral ballot, prepared full
and complete statement of what took
place in the room and of everything
that was said and done, to which each
appended his affidavit. This statement
has been forwarded together with the
sealed ballot, to the president of the
Senate.
At an indignation meeting here last
night, Gov. Grover was burned in effigy
on the public street by crowd of ex-
cited cibizens.
