MURDER IN MARYLAND.

On the 10th OF October Hiram Fooks
ami James Jones, both colored, were seen
having q fight. They were last seen to
gether going along the road and 1t was
thought that Jim was vary drunk, as Hi
ram was seen to strike him several times
apparently with his open hand, and at tn Q
blows thus gwen Jones would tumble over.
This was the last seen OF jim alive. On
the 22nd Jim was found dead IN the wouds
in Potato Neck district, his head and one
hand cut off. He was found by means OF
buzzards, who were seen flying over the
spot. Hiram Fooks was arrested by Con-
stable d yden, tried nefore aud committed
10 iati by Justice Furniss To await an exam
ination of the matter before the next grand
iuy, Il il rumored that Fooks had been
offered so much tor each hand he would
furnish the CAPTAINS of some of the
dredge boats. F,oks gave Jim liquor
and wi en- under the infue ce OF the
anne he promtseu his servlc as q
dred9e hand, but on getting sober he
changed his mind and refused to 60.
This made Fooks mad, and it is believed
by some that he took his revenge on Jim
by killing him. A grave was dug for
the murdered man on the spot, and he
was rolled in and covered mp. Owing to
the condition of the body this was the
best that could be done. Fooks, the
accused, is q large black, ugly booking
fellow, weighing about 10 pounds he

ooLoRED VOTERS REBEL IN PA.

PoTrsv1LLE, Oct. 3O.-An open revolt
of the colored voters of this place from
the Republican party has taken place.
Last evening a large meeting was held IN
the African Methodist Church, which
was addressed by prominent coiored men
at which the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resosved, That we sever our c0nnecton
with the Republican party, with wmo1
va have heretofore been identified, and
wa he hereby proclaim ourselves, as COZ
ored citizens of Pottsville, free and inde.
nendent voters, to exercise the rights OF
Franchise as our consciences dictate.
The chief cause of the disaffection is
the action of the School Board, which IL
composed mostly of Republicans, in de
nying the colored children q separate
school building and afterwards turning
them away from the white schools.

A RAsCALLY ARMY OFFICER.

[From the st. Louis Republican,
A Republican paper furnishes the fol-
lowing item
1t is estimated that Gen. o. =. Babcock,
who was The private secretary OF General
Grant, owns property in washington
worth nalf q million dollars.
BaDcock was major of engineers at
the same time that he was private secre-
tary, and we presume drew both salaries.
Let us say that he received 5000 year
for 8 years. This would make his lesiti-
mate earnings in military and civil capa-
city $64, 900; and he is estimated to be
worth $500,000. Remarkable financial
ability, certainly, some features OF which
the taxpayers of the District of Columbia
can explain, and the rest will be made
known whenever the secret history of the
Whiskey Ring is written.
Meanwhile Babcock retains his rank
| In the army and contemplates his impe-
cunious brother officers with that calm
satisfaction which comes from tough
conscience and full pocket.

Hon. d. W. Voorhees, To Succeed Senator
MortOa.
A despatch from Cincinnati is as fol-
lows; "The near approach of Senator
MOrton's death has revived speculation
as to who shall succeed him in the Sem
ate. The Constitution of Indiana pro-
vides that the Governor shall appoint in
case of vacancy, the appointment to
hold until meeting of the Legislature.
The next Legislature will not meet until
the winter of 1878. Whoever GoverRor
Williams may decide upon will, there
fore, hold his seat until the expiration of
MIR. Morton's term in 1879. 1t is conf
dently asserted in Indiana political Cir
cles that Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, will
receive the appointment. Mr.. Voorhees,
stumped the State for "Blue Jeans" last
fall, aud helped materially in his cleo
ton. He is also in ability one OF the
foremost Democrats in the State. Hon.
John S. Williams of Lafayette, has hopes
of the appointment, but it is conceded on
all hands that the Governor cannot well
overlook Mr.. Voorhees, claims. Ex-Con-
gresham Holman is popular ia his dis
trict, but his notions of public policy are
not in strict harmony with the rank and
file of the Democracy of the State. Ii
Mr.. Voorhees, once gets into the Senate
his reelection in 1878 will undoubtedly

THE CRIME OF BRIBERY,

From the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce
The escape of a man from justice
only by virtue of the statute of limita
tion leaves him morally as black as if
convicted of the offense charged Ex-
Assemblyman Lord has been released
from the penalties fairly his due for
the bribery of which he was convict
ed--a general term of the Supreme
Court at Rochester having nulliHed
the verdict of jary and reversed the
decision of the court below by declar-
ing that his crime was covered by
that convenient statute. 1t may be
said that justice should be content
with this action of the court-that
Lord is still left disgraeed man, and
that should suffice. But Attorney
General Fairchild takes another view
of the affair, and we agree with him.
He thin that the moral of the Lord
bribery business will not be complete
till the criminal is properly punished
by going to prison and doing for the
State five or less years of hard and
useful labor. Therefore he requests
the District Attorney Of Erie county
to appeal to the higher tribunal. The
Supreme Court at Rochester stood
two to one In favor of the decision re.
leasing Lord, but we know enough OF
an elective judiciary not to accept
even those odds as proof conclusive
of the decision. If one judge dissent
ell, that fact warrants the hope tha
the Court of Appeals may yet send
Lord where he belongs-to prison. HI
is under another Indictment, which
ought to be pressed at once, whateve
becomes of the case which has SO ia
failed. AS the Attorney-General fore
bly, remarks. elf such crimes rs Lord'l
cannot be, or are not, punished wneI
the proof is so clear our governmen
is wretched thing and its auminis
tration of Justice contemplate"

The Marshal stood for nearly an
hour besida General Grant, occasion
ally joining in the conversation and

officials who thronged the apartments.
AS the two renowned soldiers stosd
side by side one could not help con-
trasting them. Marshal MacMahon'e
ruddy. honest Celtic face, white mus
tache and white hair recalled the
poets figure "s rose in snow" Grant,
calm, massive and reserved, wore the
same imperturable face so we'll known
at home. MacMahon seemed all nerve
and restlessness, Grant looked all pa
tience and repose. The contrast in
person was indeed remarkable, al
though each had come to the Presiden
cy q powerful republic over the Same
red road. The passion of arms com
mandiDg two great nations had led
to choose its foremost soldier as Exc
cutive head. One has LAID down hit

RETRIEVING HIS REPUTATION
\

RETRIEVING HIS REPUTATION.
The Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune of
Thursday says: "The children of Mr..
Moore, who live at Upper Lake Mime
tonka, have retriever pup they are
proud of. The occasion of their pride
resulted from little circumstance, the
particulars Of which are as follows: The
eldest daughter went to the Mound City
store TO make few purchases with a
pocket book containing fourteen dollars
deposited in her pocket, but when she
came TO settle her bill she had no pocket
book to draw from-it was lost. A search
was instituted, but fruitlessly, and it was
mourned as among the pleasant memo
riesof the past. A short time afterward
the children were presented with pup,
very young and full of tricks, and re-
garded by the women folks as great
nuisance. 1t had way Of bringing in
things that were a worry to neat house
keepers, depositing fish heads, dead
squirrels, chipmunks and the like on the
clean floor every time it had been scrub
bed. But one day, about two months
after the loss of the pocket book, the
pup made its appearance with small
black object that seemed to have great
value in his eyes, for the small children
could not make him drop it, and it re-
quired the services OF the elder portion
Of the family to dispossess him of it.
An examination brought the discovery
that the object which the pup fought so
dogfnlly for was nothing less than the
lost portmonnaie, and the family were
Immediately raised to the very pinnacle
Of happiness and pride-happiness in
having the lost greenbacks restored, and
pride in the fetching capacities of their

THE POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS ON THE
CLERKS OF DEPARTMENTs-RE
SAL TO PAY OLD SUBSCRIPTIONS.
In the summer of 1876, at the begin
ming OF the Presidential campaign, an
assessment of two per cent. for campaign
purposes was levied on the salaries of
all government employees in the depart
ments here. When the list for subscrip-
tions was sent around at that time near
ly all the clerks and other employees
signed it, the few who refused being
warned that persons might be found to
f1ll their positions who would subscribe.
Some of the clerks paid the whole as
sessment at once, but great majority
were only able to pay a small part.
Postmaster Edmunds, the chairman; Mr..
Appleman, the treasurer, who is also
Vice President of the Citizens' Bank,
and Mr.. William e. Chandler, the Sec
retary of the Republican Congressional
Executive Committee, borrowed money,
It seems, from banks and capitalists for
lie campaign on the credit of the sums
assessed but not paid by the department
clerks, and the sums thus borrowed are
now falling due. Hence circular sign
cd by Mr.. Adpleman calling upon the
Treasury clerks to pay up, at which the
lucky clerks are laughing.
Forced payments of campaign sub
scriptions by government employees Is at
an end. Assistant Secretary Mccormick
to-day decided, upon the application of a
number of clerks who had received Mr..
Appleman's circular, that the department
would take no cognizance whatever ol
the matter. Mr.. Mccormick told the
clerks who applied to him that if any
of them regarded their subscriptions as
honest debts he supposed they would pay
them, but he said explicitly that they
would incur no penalty in the Depart
ment through their failure or refusal tc
do 90, and 10 this he has the full sane
ton Of Secretary Sherman. The unpaid
subscriptions of the Treasury clerks are
principally balances due, and aggregate
nearly $4,000. 1t is not probable tina
the committee will be able to collec
mach of this sum. The clerks generally
! feel that the assessment OF 1876 wa
made under an implied threat of dis
charge If they refused.

NO DIVIDEND.
The Directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Make no Quarterly
announcement.

It was pretty generally believed by the
Third street bankers and brokers that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
through its directors, would not yester-
day declare a quarterly dividend on Its
stock, this being the fourth quarterly Pc
riod of the year.
The directors met at 10 o'clock yester-
day, and after thorough review OF the
financial condition of the company, deci-
ded that it would be inexpedient at this
time to announce dividend. 1t was
stated, as the books OF the company
show, that it is now engaged in very
large and profitable traffic in freight
that at no corresponding season, If that
of 1875 be excepted, was SO large busi-
ness transacted but the riots of July,
with the terrific destruction of property
which grew out of them, lay the compa
ny at this time under heavy expense for
repairs und subs.itutions for the rolling
stock and depots which the rioters gave
to the flames. 1t is for the purpose of
placing the company, in its facilities,
where it stood before the riots of July,
that the surplus funds are to be used
and hence the inexpedieDcy of making q
dividend at this time, although the COM
pany has earned one.
THE RESOLUTION.
The Board of Directors about O'Clock
adopted the following resolution, which
they Immediately sent to the rooms Of
the Board of Brokers on Third street:
aResolued, That notwithstanding tho
fact that the company are moving larger
traffic at better rates, they deem 1t inex-
pedient to declare dividend at the pres
emit time." a...4 q -
The stock of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company opened ut 294s, and con-
tinued to stand 30 uRt;l after tho news
came from the Direct )Fs, when It drop
psd to 2sE, with the probability OF still
further depression beflrs the Board ad-
journsd. ....
