FOURTH or july CELEBRATION. In accord.
ance with the recommendations of the United
States Centennial Commission, to hold local
celebrations on the coming ith Of July in
every county in the United States, a meeting
of all persons interested in the local history
OF Baltimore county, for the past hundred
years or more, was held in the Court House,
Towsontown. on Tuesday, February 10Th, to
take steps to carry out this recommendation.
The recommendations of the Centennial Com.
mission ore, that as many persons will not
visit Philadelphia upon the lth of July, that
those who remain Mt home should take steps
to hold celebration of the National anniyer
sary, and that some competent person be Sc.
lected to collect the local history of each
county. Maryland being one of the original
thirteen States, there is no doubt il each
county or province in existence at the time
OF the Revolution will collect a history, il will
be highly interesting. 1t has been suggested
that celebration be held in Westminster, on
the 4th Of July, under the auspices of the
Carroll County Agricultural Society, on the
Fair grounds, and that arrangements be made
on scale commensurate with the Importance
OF the occasion. If such u celebration be
deemed advisable, it is time the preliminary
arrangements were in progress.

The EFFECT OF BELKNAp's CRIME
ABROAD French and English journals
have criticised this country with some Sc
verify since the astounding Belknap dis.
closures. They see in this and other
things, evidence Of the decadence Of pub
lie virtue, and express very natural con
eern for the FIXTURE of our Republic, To
these structures the New York San replies.
The London journals need not distress
themselves about the United States or the
danger Of tho failure Of the republic. Whea
corruption was rampant and impadent at
Washington and bribery the rule, and the
people were apathetic, supine, and inert,
there was cause for cutlery, II not for alarm.
Now that they have determined TO cut away
the moral and political cancer, there Is ground
for rsjoieing and renewed faith in Republican
institutions.

TRYING TO SHIRK THE REsPossIBILI-
rY.-Some INSCRIPTIONS Administration
journals try to draw comfort from the
assertion that Secretary Belknap was form
erly Democrat. The Chicago Tribune
is especially angry because attempts have
been made to put the blame for his crime
upon the shoulders of the Grant party.
1t says:
''The ineffable meanness of the Democratic
partsans who would fasten the crime of Sec.
Rotary Belknap and his wife on the Republ-
can party is almost beyond comprehension. "
To this the ~ I. Tribune replies:
1T is little hard on the comprehension to
understand why the man and the party who
kept Belknap in power four years after his
dishonesty was exposed should be regarded
as without responsibility for his acts. With.
out Grantism, his crime would have been
impossible

Ngw RaiiRosn "A letter to the Harris

says We presume many of your readers are
not aware that q new railroad is about being
built, connecting your enterprsing city with
Hanover. The route TO be traversed il as
follows; From White Hall to Harholts Mill
over the Harrisburg and Potomac line, now
rapidly drawing to completion; thence via the
Stony Run Valley, passing the celebrated ore
banks Of NJ Cormick's Underwood, Bell and
Logan, to the headwaters Of Beaver creek;
down Beaver creek TO Merganthaler's gap ;
thence to Wellsyille, where the road strikes
the head OF q small stream known US Prlim s
run, which it follows in about direct line to
/ the C0newago creek; thence up the creek TO
East Berlin. Here il connects with the Ok
ford and Berlin branch, now ready To be put
under contract. At Oxford il connects with
| the Hanover branch, and follows It TO the
Bachman's Valley road, thence to Westmin.
Grand on to Baltimore by the Western Mary.
land road. A glance ut this route will be
sufficient to convince any business man that
it will pay. From Harhot's mill TO Oxford,
/ there Is 90 limestone. Il is estimated that
200, 900 bushels of lime are hauled by wagons
every year to Warrington township alone, and
nearly the same amount is used annually in
Washington township, all of which is bought
in Cumberland county, in the immediate
neighborhoOd of Harhot's mill Then il will
open up all this region to the Anthracite coal
fields OF Pennsylvania, as well as the Btu.
minous coal fields of Maryland. Coal trains
would run loaded both ways, east and north
with Bituminou coal and south with Anthra.
cite. Then again, all the lumber used in this
whole region comes from Harrisburg and
would be distributed by this road all along the
route, supplying Gettysburg, Frederick, Lit
testown, Hanover, Oxford, Westminster, aud
q hundred other places adjacent to the road
Then again the ore trade would be immense,
passing as it does along the great magnetic
ore belt the entire distance to East Berlin
The very finest ore found in Pennsylvania is
taken out in large quantities ut the mine banks
near Wellsyille, which is hauled seven miles
to Dillsburg. The road also passes near
Lichty's ore bank which is now hauled to
York, twelve miles. This is a rapid sketch
of the local trade the road would have to do,
to say nothing Of the immense through freight
and travel which il would carry, connecting
as il does New York with Baltimore and
