REPUBLICANS IN CoUNcfL.-Certain
representatives OF our county republi-
cans had meeting here on Saturday
last, presumably for the purpose Of fix
ing up their party slate for the Fall
campaign, but we have been unable to
learn whether or to what extent they
agreed upon a ticket or whether they
agreed to disagree. This much is known,
they adjourned over to Tuesday last and
had confab on that day. with what re-
suit We are still in the dark, though ru-
NOR has it, that Tuesdays consultation
was as barren Of fruit as SATURDAYS.

Report Of the Grand Jury for Sept. Tern, 1877.
To TIC Honorable Judges q The Circuit Govt for
3. Mary's Cosasy, Maryland.
In obedience to the requirements Of Section ?
Of an Act Of Assembly ofMaryland, Chapter g5s
passed a. the session of 1876, We. the Grand Jury
for the September Term Of the Circuit Court for

Magistrates and Constables, $50 Is
Added, makes So, -
To this should be added the extra allowances for
Attorneys Fee and the amounts levicd for guard
ing and attending prisoners, making an aggre-
gate Of near ten thousand dollars for enforcing
Law and order and settling disputes among the
people Of the county for the pas. year. This Is
near one-thrd the whole amount levied for all
purposes, and more than three tines The amour,
levied for public schools To remedy this evil
and reduce this enormous burden on the row
impoverished people, we would recommend that
the General Assembly Of Maryland at II. next
session 80 amend the laws rs to give Justices Of
the Peace jurisdiction in all cases Of larceny
wherein the value Of the property stolen does not
exceed fvc dollars; and, also, Jurisdiction in al
cases Of simply assault and battery, with power
to impose fine and the costs on one or all the
parties 50 offending. Those who fought would
then have TO pay for disturbing the peace and The
fines imposed would add something to the pub
lie funds. Such changes in the laws would re-
lieve the Circui; Court Of large number Of pet
ty cases and the taxpayers from considerable of
this heavy burden. II would also relieve them
from the ridiculous position which they are aow
in Of having to pay for many drunken brawls
aad senseiess quarrels which occur mos, frequen,-
ly among the low and non-,axpaying class of the
county.
:. That toe amount allowed and levied BY the
County Commissioners for pensions is s., $40,
and $40 in excess Of the amosnt levied for pen
sions for the preceding year, notwi.hs;andinz the
amount levied for the previoss year was reported
As grossly exuavagant' by the Grand Jury Of
last year. We submit that greater care should
be s.ercised in allowing pensions, and tina, no
pension should be allowed 70 persons who are
able TO work.
.. That We ind ths amount expended for the
Coassy Poer's House was 81, ae7 oil, and ,i,.,
the average number Of inmates for the year was
about eleven. We submit, - our opinion, that
'Ai' large ezpssditsre for 20 few paupcrs is an En-
ose''Ant and Unreasonable smount, and recon-
mend that the County Commissioners enfor,e

alternative summary vengeance ON the
part Of the people; in other words, that the
people are justified in becoming law unto
themselves. Il is quite certain that the
criminal laws Of many Of the States, and
particularly Of the Western States, need
most careful revision. The total sup
preston Of a vast amount of the fash
literature Of the day can not be brought
about too soon. The :entire youth of the
land is becoming corrupted and growing up
criminal, because of minds poisoned by the
filthy trash they are permitted to read.
The time has come when criminals must
be punished swiftly BY the full force of the
law, or else society will seek its own
protection regardless of all law.

A curious case as TO the rights Of the
finder of lost property, whose owner is
unknown, is reported from Rhode Island.
The plaintif brought an old safe and
offered to sell it to the defendant. The
defendant would not buy it, but agreed to
take it and sell it if he could, using it
himself in the mean time. While it was
thus in his possession, he found roll of
bank bills inside the lining. No one knew
to whom they belonged. The defendant
therefore concluded to keep them. The
plaintiff, upon learning Of the discovery of
the money, demanded the return Of the
safe just as it was when delivered. The
defendant returned it, but without the
bank bills; whereupOn the plaintiff sued
for their value as money found. The
supreme court held that the finder was
entitled to retain the property as against
the party who put the safe into his hands
for sale; aud the authorities generally
maintain the right of the finder, in this
class Of cases, as against all persons except
the real owner.

if you please, the daily record OF crime as
therein recited in one, two or three col

throughout the length and breadth of this
broad land the conclusion is almost ire

Look at our insane asylums, our crowded
jails and our penitentiaries--all crowded,
all full to OVERLOOKING. How many Grimm
ais, too, of the deepest dye, have escaped
well merited punishment during the past
ten. years? Count them over as you scan
the criminal record, and tho number as

A SUIT brought by the United States
to recover the value of large quantity OF
timber cut ON the public LANDS was recently
tried 10 the United States district court
for Minnesota. The defendant showed
that he cut the timber on land duly entered
under the homestead law, but which he
had not yet occupied for the five years
requisite to make il bis absolute property.
The court held that he might clear the
land and sell the timber, if he cut it for
purposes Of cultivation, hut, if his only
object in severing the wood was TO sell il
without reference to improving the land,
there 81 lid be verdict for the govern
ment. There was evidence tending to
show that sale and traffic were the only
purposes which be had 10 view, and
the jury must have believed this evi
dence, Tor they found verdict against
him. This case reminds the Chicago

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always an
easy matter Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials, and their delicate cOorrng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'm
purites. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial

period during which the occupation could be fol-
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle OF toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill OF Mr..
B. T. Rabbit, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest OF the kind in the United
States. The renown Of Mr. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success is the appropriate
crown TO the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert

TO Republicans.



It is now probable that, unless the Dem
ocrats commit some suicidal folly thing
which their past history renders quite
Hkely--the election of 1880 will give us q
Democratic President by such an electoral
majority that no devcie can avail to set it
aside. That party already has majority
of the House of Representatives and ap-
pears likely soon to have a majority OF the
Senate, and thus. when Democratic Pres
ident is inaugurated. the legislative and
executive branches of the Government will
DO entirely 10 the hands of the Democrats.
II the Democracy should thus come into
power it will come to stay. The Republi-
can party has now been 10 possession Of the
Government for more than sixteen years,
aud If the Democrats, after they get In,
should live up to their professions of strict
fidelity to the Constitution, economy Ia
administration, and hostility TO all subsi-
dies, sinecures, and corruptions, they may
count upon q long tenure.
What especially disables and ruins the
Republican party at present is the Elect
oral Conspiracy of last year aud the fact
that in their name a man who was not
elected now exercises the Office of President.
It is the guilt Of this sin which brushes the
Republicans, and. unless they earnestly
repent of it, bringing forth works meet for
repentance, it viii crush them for long
time to come. But repentance and reform
ought not TO bes difficult task. The
masses of the Republican party arc honest
and patriotic men, and were led into the
Fraud through political desperation and
through party zeal that in its essence
was patriotic; but, now that they can look
att coolly and see it in all its enormity,
they should make haste to clear themselves
of all lot and all part therein.

WHEN MIR. Morton was endeaYoring to
make out a case Of bribery against Senator
Grover, Of Oregon, person named Stiles
was found willing to assist in the job by
swearing 10 certain conversations and Incl
dents connected with tho Oregon sena
toriRl canvass. Mr. Stiles has just had an
opportunity to substantiate his testimony
on that matter before jury, but he does
not seem to have improved it successfully,
for eleven Of the jurymen were anxious to
send him to the penitentiary as peEjurer.
The odd man saved him for the present,
and a new trial will soon take place.
Another man connected with the same
dirty Job, is to be tried in few days. He
is named Highly, and is charged with
hiring others to commit perjury. Perhaps
he may be induced to "squeap' upon the
persons who hired him to hire Stiles; and
in that event some of the inner history of
MOrtons last visit to the Pacific coast may
come out
