Letter from the State Capital.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec 3rd, 1871
Mr. Eaitor The time is fast approaching
for our Legislature to assemble here when
they may expect TO meet with hearty recep-
ton from all classes of our citizens. The
hotels and boarding houses are being put in
excellent order for their reception In short
nothing will be left undone for their happI-
ness and comfort
1t is expected that the session will be a
stormy one, as conflicting ideas in the minds
OF many OF the members are already apparent.
1t is conceded by the leaders so far as heard
from that DR.. Dennis will he reelected U. s.
Senator, and also our distinguished State
Treasurer Mr.. Compton, is surely to be re-
elected to the same position which he now
holds. This is no more than right, as both gen
temen have given entire satisfaction 10 their
constituents as well as the State al large. As the
various Offices in the gift Of the Governor are
TO be filled during the term of the legislature,
Gov. Carroll cannot be too careful in selecting
the gentlemen for confirmation. Those al
ready holding Office, their official acts should
be closely scruiinized" and all found want
ing and incompetent should be dropped,
especially those who brought The State 10 debt
| by mismanagement. In this connection permit
me to say word about the appontees from
| your good Democratic county. Montgomery
allude to r. S. Hilton, Esq Inspector Of
| State Tobacco Warehouse, No. 2, and his
chief clerk e @ Gardner, Esq / got their
names from report OF that Warehouse now on
| file in the Comptroller Office, which shows a
| very healthy condition as well az good man
agement In short, the admirable manner in
which the affairs Of that Warehouse are con-
Quoted by the gentlemen above named, should
elicit from all unqualified appreciation. They
have not only kept the Warehouse out of
debt, but the State has derived considerable
revenue therefrom.
la view of these facts, to say nothing
of their county saving our State from "a
divided delegation in Congress, (I allude to
Congressman Walsh, whom the Radical leaders
at Washington did all they could to defeat, J
Gov. Carroll cannot with any degree of CON
sistency ignore their claims, but instead, re-
appoint Them to the same position which
they have so faithfully and Systematically
performed 10 the entire satisfaction OF all inter
ested, thereby rewariing faithful and compe-
tent ofi,er Consult with whom you please,
either planters, merchanics or purchasers, all
speak of them in the highest terms, as being
courteous and accommodating gentlemen,
so much so that it is pleasure TO do business
with them. alpha"

Superintendent Tyler, of the Soldiers Home
Cemetery, was passing along Rock Greek
Friday last, some distance from Washington
City, when he was accosted by one of two
colored men, who were going the same way
and asked for tobacco just rs the he put his
hand in his pocket he was felled TO The earth
by the blow Of a heavy club and robbed of
sixty-6ve dollars in cash and notes 10 the
value Of one hundred and forty dollars. He
was so injured that he would have been
unable to get home alone, but fortunately met
his residence, and who called DR.. Huntington
to his assistance. He is now improving. No
clue has yet been obtained to the highway

The Washington Capital still continues as

rather improved, than lost, in those charms
IL so acceptable and welcome to its thousands
of readers. With an unparalleled boldness it
attacks the follies and vices Of public men, and
handles them with severity of sarcasm truly
terrifying. Its correspondents select the most
interesting topics and dress them in the most
pleasing and attractive description. In fact,
the Capital is without similiiude and it needs
no patent right for its protection as the genius
has not yet been created which can copy il.

Now that the waters have snhsided an6 that
travel and telegraphic communication is being
resumed, the details Of the devastation By the
late freshet show that the damage on all sides
was much greater than appeared at first. In
the Valley of Virginia the destruction is
immense. The Chesapeake and Ohio canal is
considerably damaged requiring much time
and considerable amount Of money to put il
in good navigable condition

Gen Grants message ACCOMPANYING his
signature to the electoral bill is by all
odds the ablest state paper he ever wrote,
if, indeed, he wrote it.
The slur IN the latter part of the
above extract is entirely characteris-
leland worthy of that class OF ''lnde-
pendent" and enlightened" journals
represented by the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, from which we
clip it. BY going out of its way to
make an unnecessary fling at the
President, the Republican exposes
its malice, and gives the lie to its
pretense of non-partisanship. Among
the prominent characteristics of the
traditional "mean Yankee" are the
practice of cant and hypocricy to
cover ignoble ends, a shifting pre-
tense of supreme virtue, under cover
of which, are hidden partisanship,
treachery and all the contemplate
vices. Measured by this standard,
and judged by the course OF his pa
per, Sam Bowles, is entitled to dis
tinction as the best specimen extant
of the "mean Yankee" Added to
this, he has the merit of the bravo,
who fiatters a man only to secure the
opportunity to stab him in the back.

This is said to be hard winter
for Texas, and more snow has fallen
than for many years Children in
Houston, OF ten years, unused to
such a phenomenon, declared that it
was training cotton" The snow
came the last of December, AMI the
mercury ran down to IA degrees be-
low zero, but the snow remained but
Il few days. When l LETT Van Blu
rem county, Iowa, the LIST of January,
the weather was very cold with lit
tie snow. As we went south, we
found more snow but less cold
The big snow has done great good
to the wheat crop of Texas, which
will be tuther benefited by the pres
cnt rains and warm weather. A few
day later, could send you some
wild flowers, and | could now pick
some spires OF new grass 2 to 3 in

In conclusion, | would say to ali

ton to hire out to work; we have
100 many Of that sort now. But
come prepared to commence business
for Yourself. Now is the time for

but don't take stock in town lots in

thus given, but do not wait to hear
from me again. Yours truly.

Democratic Malignity.


The treatment Of Gov. Wells by
the Democratic House. is unparallel-
ed in Congressional history. He is
confined in a dungeon in the crypt
Of the Capitol. The walls are Shiny,
the ventilation bad, and the air pois-
onous from a dangerous gas-leak.-
He is kept under the closest guard
of Especial Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms.
No Republican member of Con-
gress is allowed to approach him.
Representative Wilson, Of Iowa, went
to see him. The Sergeant-at-Arms
said that he had orders not to per-
NIT him to enter. Wilson went to
the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House
for admission and could not obtain
it. Indign mt at the Spanish inqul-
sitlon established by the Democrats,
Wilson went to Speaker Randall,
and notified HIM of the facts, and in
formed that he hould call the atten-
ton Of the House and country to it
as question of highest privilege
Randall begged HIM not to do so,
and gave permpt' ry order to ad-
NIT Wilson to the prisoner. This or
der is only an extraordinary excep-
ton to the prison discipline. 1t was
not to be wondered ut that Wells
came to the Commiltee-room some
what heated, and that his examina-
ton was attended by scenes which
were almost violent.
Du Hey Field has discovered that
the bullying of Il criminal lawyer, is
not the treatment for Gov Wells, Of
Louisiana. Wells repeatedly turned
to the Chairman with respect aud
begged to be protected, adding that
it the Committee did not protect him
he should protect himself Demo
cratic correspondents tonight are
seeking to give significance to these
words by stating that Wells had a
loaded cane with him and two re-
volvers, and that in his position, he
might have sho; Dudley Field and
Maddox, who sat opposite. The
same Democratic authorities say that
the Sergeant-at-Arms v i'll tomorrow
divest him of these weapons before
he enters the Commi,tee-room.
One of the Northern Republican
correspondents who visited New
Orleans and knew Wells happened
to speak to him in the COMMITTEES
room, when Deputy Sergeant-at-
Arms immediately interposed be-
tween them, stating that he was
obliged to hear everything that was
said to Wells, and requesting that a
casual remark be repeated.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY Q. 1877.

IT is impossible to predict always.
how far dignitied and exemplary
statesman may be led astray when
away from the restraints of home in
fluences. In the investigations be-
fore the Senate Committee on Lonls-
lana affairs, on Monday, it was prov
en- that Ex-Governor Palmer and Ex.
Senator Trumbull, while in New
Orleans last November, attending
the session of the Returning Board
on behalf of Tilden, visited, on the
sly, quadroon dance house, head
quarters of the colnred demi-monde,
kept by one Mrs. Patterson. Their
guide on this round of illicit pleas
ure, was one Spearing, uncle to the
notorious Littlefeld, who has been
giving sensational and perjured tes-
timony against the Returning Board
before David Dudley Fields com
mittee during the past week.

EXECUTIVE MANSION. Feb. 3, 1877.

Nothing unfair, unjust, dishonest,
or indecent can now excite surprise
that proceeds from the New York
lawyer, who has been successfully
employed to do the dirty work OF
Jim Fisk, Boss Tweed and Sam Til
dcn,-not even the latest disreputa-
bic trick of Mr. David Dudley Field
in causing to be printed in pamph-
let form, privately and secretly, the
purchased testimony of the forgers,
blackmailers, thieves and periurers
who have recently been used as tools
in the conspiracy to prejudice the
minds of the Electoral Commission
concerning the Louisiana Returning
Boards. It is not the report Of the
Committee conducting the investiga-
ton; it is an incomplete and garbled
compilation Of the testimony taken,
with the cross-examination omitted,
and only that portion included which
a pettifogging shyster would select
as helping his side Of the case and
hurting the other side; yet it has
been hastily printed SO as to get it
before the Commission at once. So
gross violation of Congressional
privilege and decorun would ordin-
arily lead to unpleasant con equences
but of course the same Democratic
majority in the Committee that re-
fused the request Of Gov. Wells to
he heard at once in explanation OF
the letter procured by Maddox, and
the same Democratic majority that
voted 10 keep the fact Of such re-
quest and refusal from thejournal OF
the Committee, will cordially concur
in this last specimen Of dishonorable

First, Your boy needs to be watch.

First, Your boy needs to be watch
ed as carefully as your girls; and
what sort OF girls would yon expect
to bring up if You turned them into
the street every night in the week?
Therefore, let no boy up to the age
of eighteen if he is at home with
you, be out at night unless you
know where he is. There is more
mischief in Il single nights carnival
than there is good in a hundred
consecutive attendances at church or
Sabbath school. Do you say this
cannot be done? 1t has been done.
1t is done now in a million of Ger
man homes in Germany, and in
many American households. Let
your sons have liber.y to go wher-
ever your Judgment approves, but
you ought always to know where
they are at night.
Second. Let your boys be cloth
ed so that they may have some pride;
let them be trained to music, for we
never shall have good music in
America until more attention is paid
to the culture OF the male voice; let
them be trained in good manners
and be expected in the parlor when
you have company, and let their
companionship be selected as far as
practicable by yourself.
Our boys are neglected when
young, and when they get to be
youths they become unmanageable.
OF late, the boys of the very richest
men have become very generally the
most worthless, because the father Is
too constantly engaged in money
making, and the mother is to much
engrossed in society and dress. In
dustrious and obedient habits coupled
with judicious home government,
are essential tie the building up of a
manly character
