FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS AT BALTIMoRE.-0r
Friday of last week, to the great surprise of
ly every Republican, at least in this section Of
Maryland, President Hayes appointed Mr. John
L. Thomas, Jr., Collector of the Port of Balti
more, vice Col. Edward Wilkins, whose resigna-
ton has been asked for. Col. Wilkins, however
up to this time, has refused to resign, and in his
refusal he is seconded by hundreds of Republi-
cans who have written and teIegraphed to him to
"stick."
Mr.. William Corkran was appointed Naval Of
fcer on the same day, vice Gen. Adam E. King
removed. Gen. King has held the Office for a
number of years, his successor having filed the
position of Deputy Naval Officer during four Pres
idential terms, and his appointment is considered
a reward for faithful services.
Mr.. d. W. Rudy, of Frederick county, is to be
Mr.. Corkrans Deputy.
The Baltimore American asserts that the two
other prominent appointments for Maryland
those of Surveyor of the Port and u S. District
AttOrney-will be given to Ellington Fulton and
c. Irving Dirty, respectively. The camel's back
is almost broken now and with these two last
named "straws" laid on we may expect to see the
poor beast hOpelessly wrecked.

TOO soAPY.

The Baltimore american of Wednesday last un-
Swami in defending him from somewhat severe
attack of the Frederick Times, and says
''Whatever may have been Mr. Swann's political
sins in the past he is the only Maryland Repre-
sentative in Congress for years past who has done
honor to the State. The rest of them have been
figure-heads, who had no influence and were rare
ly heard of. Mr.. Swami is power in Washing
ton, and he has always eXerted himself for the
benefit of the State In by-gone times the Amer
lean has fought him harder than anybody else ever
did, but we are bound to acknowledge that he has
rescued the Maryland delegation from obscurity
and impotency, and that the State owes great
deal to him. His influence at home may be dying
out, but it would be well for Baltimore if it were
stronger than it is"
1t is true the American, in fighting Mr. Swami,
broke up the Republican party, causing it to lose
control in Baltimore and Maryland ever since, ex-
cepting in few counties where its advice was not
taken. It's object now in plastering Mr.. Swami
with soft soap is to gain, if possible, his influence
in favor of Mr.. John L. Thomas, so as to keep the
U. S. Senate from rejecting him Collector of the
Port of Baltimore. The stupidity of the article,
we imagine, will be readily seen.
In hypocrtically hattering Mr.. Swami, all the
other Maryland Representatives in Congress are
put down as mere "fgure- heads who had no inhu-
ence and were rarely heard Of" We wonder how
Hon. VIM. Pinkney Whyte and Mr.. Dennis, who
are known to be friends of Col. Wilkins will esti-
mate this opinion of them when they come to act
upon the confirmation of Mr.. John L. Thomas, the
Americans plant pet, if he ever be confirmed
There are what may be termed double-edged
swords which cut both ways, and in this instance
we imagine the cutting will prove most disastrous
to the inferior number. As Col. wilkins does not
intend resigning his Office, the Americans soft
soldering of Mr.. Swami at the expense of others
his peers-wi not add much to the cause of Mr.
Thomas, provided COL wilkins be suspended by
the President and his suspension fails of approval
| by the Senate.

THE EASTERN WAR.-At last it appears that
the Russians have crossed the Danube at one OF
two points in considerable numbers and are likely
soon to place their entire forces the other side
Severe fighting has occurred and heavy losses
sustained on both sides. No absolutely decisive
or important battle, calculated to make serious
impression, has yet occurred. The Turks are
rather inclined to fall back, as their enemy ad-
vances. This is done, doubtless, to concentrate
and make desperate resistance at some favorite
point. 1t looks now as though the war would be
vigorously pushed, and the time not distant when
a sanguinary and terrible battle might occur
There seems no apprehensions whatever of gen.
eral European war. Russia gives notice that she
will do nothing calculated to involve surround
ing nations.

sGs- The Molly Maguires-six at Pottsville and
four at Mauch Chunk-have expiated their crimes
on the gallows. Terrible as was their fate, no less
terrible was the nature of the ofenses for which
their lives have paid the penalty. The heinous
murders committed in the interest and at the be-
hest of the Molly Mcguire organization are quite
unparalleled in the history of Pennsylvania. Its
operations extend over period of at least fifteen
years, and the lives at last taken by the law are
as nothing compared with those sacrificed to the
revenge of that most infamous society. Working
in the dark and shielded by oathbo secrecy, it
has been practically beyond the reach of justice
for these many years. 1t has been merciless, and
its victims have usually been unsuspecting and
unprepared. In the latter part of 1875 the power
of the MOllies was first broken, and in 1876
number ofconvictions followed sufficient to paralyze
the cOnsprators. With the execution of ten of the
guilty ones it is to be hoped something like secur-
ty may come to the region so long cursed by them.
