ACQUITTAL OF JUDGES GRAsoN AND
YELLoTT.-The trial Of Judges Grason and
Yellott, charged with malfeasance in office,
in cutting short an investigation of the grand
jury, by adiourning the court terminated in
their acquitGl by the Circuit Court of Anne
Arundel county, at Annapolis. The accused
Judges waived all technicalities, and insisted
upon speedy trial upon the facts of the
case. The evidence offered failed to show
any corrupt motive on the part of the Judges
in adjourning the court, and the verdict of
acquittal distinctly asserts that they had the
right to adjourn the court This decision is
susta ned by numerous decisions of the Court
of Appeals in other cases. The accused are
therefore honorably acquitted. Every good
citizen must feel gratified at this result
Their conviction would have cast a stain up
on the judiciary of our State, and weakened
the confidence OF the people in the purity OF
our judges
Judge Yellott is yet to be tried upon an
other indictment, but it is safe to say that he
will be acquitted.
The Woodbury. Neacs, in noticing the
acQuital of Judges Grason and Yellott, says
at seems hard that the innocent taxpayers
of our county should be compelled to pay
the costs of this very expensive trial when
there never was the least foundation for insti.
tuting the same. The whole thing in our
humble opinion was conceived in malice and
born in prejudice and only gotten up to
crafty the spite of n few individuals who

Letter From Chrome Hill.
NOVEMBER It'll, 1877.

We really wish we had some news to commu.
nicate from this part of the globe, for it seems
shame that our poor little community should
have no "items" to send forth through our
county papers. We are afraid you tire of hear
ing from our Lyceum and "far-famed Chrome
Hill Library" Have Iquoted rightly, from one
of your Bel Air correspondents? The fact is,
that was mean thing, if it was meant sarcasti.
cally, and if we find out who the author is, we
may pay him for it. If it is a young gentleman
we will not dance with him when we next meet
him at party, or something of the kind. If it
is married Observation-Disclosures we hardly
know what. Would the non-praisng of his
children be great spite? You see we take for
granted that it is a gentleman? However, we
think of starting our hyceum quite soon, but
we have so very few who are willing to take an
active part. Some of your Bel Air gentlemen
promised to help us this winter, but fellows do
tib so OutrdgeouSly nova days! So we are not
placing much dependence in them. Our Library
is a credit to us-make fun of it us you may
and we mean to add new books as soon as our
funds increase somewhat.
Now, would you like to hear from the crops.
Girls know very little about crops, and any way
this isn't the time of year to write very brilliant
effusons regards them. The corn is about
all in, and the wheat looks lovey-but the pigs
wiU root it up.
AS to politics, we know very little about it,
and our views would not suit the Belairians at
all, so we will not say anything on that subject
BE patient perhaps some one may do some
thing startling by and by, and we will let you
know Immediately. For the present-Ta, ia!

pied by Sabiha Webster, q colored woman, sit

and all its contents consumed. The family had
all gone to church, except q small boy and two
small children, and they made narrow escape
from the burning building. A number ofneigh.

not save any of the poor widows property.
They discovered however, that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. A pile of light wood
had been placed on the outside of the house
against the weather boarding, where the fire
had been kndled. The wicked wretch who did
the deed should have been thrown into the flames

Tramps and Migrants.

Mr. Goldsborough s. Griffith, President of
tho Maryland Prisoners Aid Association, in
recent report discussed the question of
trumps and vagrancy, evils which at this
time SO seriously imperil the peace and wei
fare of the people Of our State. He also sur-
gcsted that State convention be held in Bal.
timore, to take into consideration the whole
subject of reform in our social system, as far
as it relates to the suppression of tramps and
Migrants. This convention is to be composed
OF officers of jails, re'ormatory institutions,
county officials and others having theo-
retical OF practical knowledge of the matter.
Accordingly a committee, ofwhich Mr.. G. s.
Griffith is chairman, was appointed TO make
arrangements for the proposed convention,
and solicit the cooperation of the people of
the various counties in behalf of the contem-
plated measure The convention will be
held in Baltimore on or about the 10Th of
December next, and the specific object he
fore it will be to devise some measures for
relief of the tramp nuisance, TO be submitted
to the next Legislature. The project is one
that will meet with the cordial approval and
encouragement of our citizens; and in order
that Hartford county may be properly repre-
scented in the convention, we suggest that
each farmers club and grange in the county
send one or more representatives to the con-
vention. The tramp question has grown to
be one of great importance tG the commune
ty, and legislation is necessary to enable So
ciety toproect itself from the incursions of
professional tramps, while providing for the
relief of the worthy poor.
Mr.. Griffith in discussing the tramp ques-
ton said
quitting tramps 10 work is the only rem
edy for their roaming over the country, sub
ssting by begging and stealing. The army
of wanderers is dangerous one in
our State, and their depredations call for
some uniform and decided measure. The
system of making tramps work for their
board and lodging is found to work well in
Pennsylvania and the same has been the re-
suit in many other States. Tramps have be-
come so bold in the counties of MARYLAND
that they ere formed into regular societies,
and it is soon communicated where they are
best treated, and of course there they flock.
During my recent tour of inspection I found
that the almshousc in Cecil county had re-
ceived 1000 tramps during the past year and
furnished about 5000 meals.
"The Almshouse in Carroll county had
lodged about 1000, and supplied 5000 meals.
In Hartford county $500 We're fed and lodged,
and about $4,000 received the same accom-
mediation in Montevue Hospital, Frederick.
In other counties on the Western Shore the
proportion was much the same. Thus dam
gerous army of idle tramps have been sup
ported by the taxpayers, ready at all times to
enlist in any riot or lawless outbreak
"The State House of Correction, when
opened, will relieve the State in great meas
urc of this nuisance. 1t is designed to take
up Migrants, bummers, habitual drunkards
and others guilty of petty offences"

THE DAY OF RETRIBUTIoN.-No wonder
the plundering gang which ruled and robbed
South Carolina so long were 10th to give up
their prey; for the restoration of self-govern.
ment to that State was the dawn of the day
of retribution for themselves. Cardozo, tie
ring State Treasurer has been tried and con-
victed of conspiring to rob the State, in 1875,
by means of forged claims. He is likely to
give up the comforts of home and society for
life of seclusion in the penitentiary.
The Hon. Robert Smalls, coored, mem.
Der of Congress from South Carolina, has
also come to grief. He has just been convict.
ed at Columbia, by jury composed of six
white and six colored men, of charge
against him that he accepted bride of 81, 900
while State Senator from Josephus Wood
ruff, Clerk of the Senate, and q member of
the Republican Publishing Company, for his
vote in favor of an appropriation of 1895, 900
for public printing supposed to have been
done by that concern. l.. Cass Carpenter
another notorious swindler of the State, has
also been convict ed.
Justice is slowly but surely overtakng all
the men who robbed the Southern people
and who did so much, in and out of Congress,
to keep up sectional strife and luminosity,
and thus retard the progress of the whole
country.

DEATH OF Col. MILLs.-We are panied
TO hear of the death of Col Samuel Sands
Mills, sheriff of Baltimore and member elect
to the Legislature, which occurred on Tues
day. Col. Mills was practical printer, hay
ing for long time carried on an extensive
job printing establishment. He was also
connected with the publication of various
agricultural periodicals. During the Mexi-
can war, as a lieutenant in the Independent
Blues, he was sent TO Mexico to bring home
the remains of Col. VIM. II. Watson, who
was killed at Monterey. At the same time
he brought home to their friends the remains
of Capt. Randolph Rdgely, Lieut. Herman
Thomas, of Hartford county, and others. The
writer of this received his first lessons in the
art of printing from him, and can bear testi-
mony to the true friendship, the kindness of
heat and the genial manners, which endear-
ed Col Mills to his associates and made him
favOrite wherever he was known He was
in the 5Sth year of his age.

How THE INDIANS ARE TREATED.-Peo-
pie will cease to wonder--if they have ever
done SCAT the hostility of the Indians to-
wards the Whites when they read an account
of the manner in which the Ponca Indians
have been treated by the Indian Bureau
These Indians occupied reservation on the
Missouri river. They were halfcivilized ;
| lived in houses fenced and cultivated their
| fields; had cattle and Schools and were pros
perous contented and peaceful. 1t was their
boast that no Ponca Indian ever shed a
white mans blood. Some one saw and cov-
eted their rich farms, and accordingly the In
dian Bureau ordered the removal of the tribe
to tract Of land in the Indian Territory
The Poncas naturally objected and delega-
ton of their chiefs visited Washington and
protested to the President against their re-
moyal. They made their complaints, which
were unayOiling, and they will be compelled
to leave their homes and make new ones in
the Wilderness 1t is true, the President
promised them supply of agricultural i'm
plements, catlle and houses equal TO those
they leave; but this offer failed to satisfy the
Indians
Treated in this manner, is it to be wcnder-
ed at that the Indian resents the injustice by
flying TO arms against his oppressors. TIL.
Poncas will not be likely to pursue this
course, but it is easy TO see how such con.
duct on our part must reiard the civilizl tion
of the Indian tribes
