Nicholas Miller was arrested in Baltimore
on Thursday last, on q charge Of larceny COM
mitted in the 18th district, Baltimore county,
and brought to Towsontown, where he was
committed to Jail by Justice Herbert, in de-
fault of bail.
Now didn't "the boys" have jelly time at
the Democratic primary meeting held at Co.
vanstown on Saturday last. Bloody noses
were the order of the day and black eyes were
as numerous as silver halt dollars. The fun
was varied little by pistol shot or two, but
fortunately nobody was hurt Only one of the
unterrified fell into the hands of Sheriff Bar
ton.
A subscriber at Tehachipa, Kern county,
California, writes as follows: enclosed find
$l.O0 silver and 60 cents postage stamps for
which credit me for Union. L see in yeur local
columns you wanted to see silver in circulation,
so thought would send you little. Want
your pa per continueds The "silver" consisted
of a new Trade Dollar, the first we have re-
ceived, and so one-cent stamps.
Among the centennial landmarks about
Baltimore is the country residence of the late
Col. Solomon Hillen, ex-mayor OF Baltimore.
The building was erected in 1873 by the great
grandfather of Col. Hillen, and is still held by
the family. 1t is a model of the building So
lidity of the days gene by.-Snn. The resi-
dence here referred to is located on the east
side of the Hillen road, about two miles south
of Towsontown.
Complaints are again reaching us of the
nuisances along the Philadelphia road, created
by cartmeE from the city dumping loads of pu-
trid fish and crabs from the markets and boats,
by the road side, between the first toll gate and
Herring Run. The stencil arising from these
deposits is at times almost unbarable, and the
people seem to be powerless to protect them
selves The Grand Jury is now in session.
Why not lay the matter before that body?

Division of Election Districts.

MIR. Murray Vandiver, of the Hartford del
egation has reported bill to authorize the
County Commissioners of Hartford county,
in their discretion, to divide any of the cleo
ton districts in said county into election
precincts, and designate the places Of holding
elections therein.
Ever since the admission of the negro vote,
the judges of election in the larger districts
have found it exceedingly difficult TO prop
erly take the increased vote within the hours
prescribed by law for voting. Voters, too,
have had just reason to complain of the an
noyance of standing about the polls waiting
for an opportunity to deposit their ballots
The principal difficulty in the way, how.
ever, seems to be the proper division of the
names now on the books of registration so
that the book of each precinct would contain
only the names of voters who are entitled to
vote there. This difficulty will be obyiated
if new registration is ordered, which it is
thought will be the case, under the new reg
istration law said TO be in process of prepa-
ration.
The increased expense attending the pro.
posed plan need be but slight. No addition.
al registers are required beyond the number
at present authorized by law They could
so arrange their sttings as to divide their
time equally in the several precincts. What
ever additional expense might be incurred,
we are satisfied would he over balanced by
the convenience afforded to judges, clerks
and voters.

Hendricks and Morton.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York World contrasts Hendricks and Morton
Indiana's two Presidential candidates, the
former Democratic and the latter Repub.
lican leader He says:
Hendricks is fair complcxioned and sunny
in disposition. Morton is dark and nervous
Hendricks is cautious and conciliatory-
Morton is fierce and aggressive. Hendricks
is cool to his friends, just to his enemies and
considerate TO all men lie has fire in him
but it is rarely krdled. Morton is partial to
his friends, vndictive to his enemies and fair
to no one; his passions are always smoul-
dering and ready to break forth into flame
Hendricks loves personal ease and social life
and if he seeks the Presidency it is not from
any spirit of restless ambition, for he shrinks
from the responsibilities of power rather than
grasps after them. Morton seems to put lis
whole comfort in public life; he is man
now controlled by u single instinct-the lust
of power. The conscientiousness or caution
of Hendricks would keep him from wrong OF
usurpation. Morton would be fearless and
INSCRIPTIONS. Hendricks has straddled
nearly every public question, Morton has
been on both sides of them all The former
is too slow in making up his mind, and the
latter rushes headlong TO conclusion. Hen
bricks would make a gentlemanly, high
minded President, and his administration
would be pure, honest, moderate and popu-
lar; he is not essentially great man, but he
is essentially a good man. Morton would
make proud and dangerous ruler, and his
administration would be an era of centraliza-
ton, fraud and favoritism in comparison to
which Grants reign would shine out like the
Golden Age lie is allied with Pinchback
Clayton, Dorsey, Spencer and all the polti
cal adventures of his party, and it is his ma
ture to maintain around him such prGto
qiam sc0rtOl1m cOhorten,; he is powerful
man, but bad one. Finally, Hendricks is
in the flush and vigor of health, and little
inclined to hurt himself with labor. Morton's
mind is dragging around disabled body
and, with every excuse for inactivity, he is
doing more than any two men in the Sen.

The Case of Barning Near FallstOu.

MR. EDITOR: The version of the death of a
German woman who died at our house from
burns, published five weeks after her death, is
utterly false in the statement that no physician
was sent for; that "little or nothing was done
TO alleviate the sulferngs Of the unfortunate wo.
man :" that the body of the woman had but a
ycslige of clothing upon it, and except SO far
as the body presented a revolving appearance
resulting from her injuries, that the scene was
OF a character to bring reproach upon Il civilized
community. There are other malicious lies not
worth noticing | would not notice it at all,
were it not that Others may not know that the
information Of the particulars" got five weeks
after the occurrance, emanated from u class OF
people who infest our community, whose stock
in trade is scandal and vituperaton, and who,
being of no sort of consequence, are ever ready
to attempt to injurc others that regard them
such & RoNn

tion was obtained from sources which we re-
garded then, and regard now, as reliable and

Removal of the Eastern Hay Scales.

Petitions numerously signed by farmers OF
Hartford and Baltimore counties, asking for
the removal of the Eastern Hay Scales, have
been presented 10 the Legislature, and there
is every probability that their wishes will be
carried out The present location is alto
gether unsuitable, ON account of its proximi-
ty to the Western Maryland Railroad, and
the danger to teams from passing trains.
Another point in connection with this
matter has been urged with considerable force
before the committee to whom the matter
was referred, of which Mr.. Rutledge, of Har-
ford is chairman. Under the present arrange
ment the loaded teams are obliged to stand
in the street, unprotected from the weather,
awaiting purchasers. If the weather hap
pens to be stormy and Indictment, buyers
take advantage of the fact, and demand q
reduction in price entirely dsproportonate
to the amount of damage to the hay by the
rain or snow. This reduction, too, seldom
enures 10 the benefit of the consumer, but
goes into the pockets of the middlemen In
some cases as much as 500 pounds have been
deducted from the weight of load Oh the
ground of supposed damage to that amount.
In rain, hail or snow the drivers and their
teams are compelled to wait patiently in the
street until the middemun puts in an appear
ance, and buys the load. The proposition
to the committee referred to, in addition to
the removal of the Scales to some point con-
tiguous to the Philadelphia, Hartford and
York roads, is that suitable sheds shall be
erected under which loaded hay wagons may
be driven, after being weighed where they
can await the arrival of purchasers In 9th.
er words, it is sought to establish regular
hay market, similar to those in Philadelphia,
New York and other places. 1t is also dc.
sired that in the proposed change, arrange
ments may be made for weighing cattle. This
could be done for very slight additional ex-
pense, and would be convenience to q large
section of country embracing the best graz.
ing portion of our State
A very large amount of hay raised in Har.
ford and Baltimore counties annually finds a
market in Baltimore city, and this branch OF
farming in those section, will be largely in.
creased in few years. owing to the inability
of Maryland farmers to compete with the
great West in grain growing
AS a matter of simple justice therefore, ia
very large body of farmers, who have been
forced for years to submit to the exactions
of middlemen in the way of dockage, &C.
and the inhumanity of compelling men and
horses to stand in the street exposed to tho
inclemencies of the weather, we hope tho
Legislature will provide the accommodations
asked for by the farming community

TRAMPs.-Senator Steiner has introduced
bill in the State Senate for the suppression
of the tramp nuisance, which provides that
any person not having been resident of the
election district In which be may be at least
six months, who shall lead an idle, vagrant
life, or solicit aims, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, unless such person shall
have obtained q written certificate frem
magistrate of the district that he is worthy
object of charity; to be granted only upon
satisfactory evidence. Violations of the act
shall render persons liable to arrest by con-
stables or any other person to whom appli
cation for aims shall be made, or whose pre-
misses shall be intruded on; TO be carried be-
fore magistrate and there fined between SIS
and $25, and on failure to pay, be confined
in the county Jail for thirty days, provided
that upon bond being given-doube the
amount of the fne-that the person will en-
gage in some useful employment or leave the
county. For receiving and keeping the tramps
no fees are TO be charged by any officer at
the Jail, and the sheriff or warden is to be
allowed not more than ten cents day for
the board of each of them. The party max
ing an arrest is to receive fifty cents, and the
county commissioners of the several coun-
tics are to be authorized to work these pris-
oncrs in such manner and under such regu.
lations MS they may prescribe.
