Mr.. HENDRICKS ON SILVER MONEY
Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, has
written letter in reply to Mr.. Belmont's
letter in relation to the silver question, in
which he says he thinks that silver money
should be restored. lie says the pledge
of 1863 of payment in coin, and the assur-
ance in the act of 1870 of payment in coin
at the then standard value, would seem to
authorize, almost to require it. COmpli-
ance with the contract cannot be breach
of public faith. Our country is a large
producer of silver. The quality of money
is important to its value. Mr. Hendricks
thinks that when restored, silver will ap-
prOach and perhaps reach gold in value;
but should experience prove that it must
remain below gold because of its greater
production, Congress has ample powers to
provide against any evil likely to follow.

APPOINTMENT OF SCHOOL COMMIs-
sIoNERs.-We understand that but one
of the Circuit Court Judges in the State,
Judge Alvey, of Hagerstown, has objected
to discharging the duty assigned them of
appointing the School Commissioners.
Judge Alvey, We suppose, has the right
to object, if he sees proper to do so, but it
seems to US that the duty is very small
one to base an objection upon. Itrequires
no extra labor, and can be very readily
performed. What if the duty has not
appertained to the Judges until recently.
1t is one so small, in itself, that we should
Ehink no one would make any objection

PUBLIC 0PINIoN.-Thc Baltimore Ga
zette has declared that the sentiment of the
Democratic party in Maryland on the sill
yer question is overwhelmingly adverse to
it. To which the Daily Netcs replies:
"Does the late vote of our Senators and
Representatives. in Congress, six out Of eight in
favor of the Matthews resolution, look ike il?
Does the vote of our Legislature, 4S to 81,
and that 81 including nearly the whole body
of Republicans in the House look like it ?''
So far from public sentiment in Mary
land being opposed to the demonstration
of silver, we hesitate not to say that if the
free coinage and unlimited legal tender
features were eliminated from the measure,
there would be very little opposition to it
in this State.

THE LATEST FROM EUROPE
Great Excitement in England.


The rumored occupation of Constantinople
and the Dardanelles by Russia filed London
Thursday morning with indignation and dis
may. Though official information was lack.
ing, the early summoning Of a cabinet council
led to the conviction that the rualors had
some foundation in fact. The London Stan
dard published a Constantinople dispatch
giving requirement of the armistice hitherto
unknown, by which the Turks were to evacu-
ate the lines of Constantinople, which were
to form neutral zone, the Russian limit to
be Buyak Chekmejeh and the Turkish limit
Knjuk Chemejeh. The carrying out of this
provision has probably led to the rumored
occupation. In the House of Commons Sir
Stafford Northcote read a dispatch from
Prince Gortschakoff stating that the Russian
commanders had been ordered to stop the
advance at all points, and that there was no
truth in the Tumors of an advance on Con-
stantinople. Mr. Foster was allowed to
withdraw his amendment to the vote for sup
plies. A Reuter- dispatch from Constantine
pie dated p. NJ. says positively that in ac-
cordence with the conditions of the armistice
the Turkish forces have evacuated the lines
of Notifications of Constantinople, and the
Russian troops are now in the lines These
fortihcations are, however, said to be thirty
House the excitement. of the public was
tremendous. During the evening windows
were broken in the Daily Nelcs Office and
Mr.. Gladstone's town residence. Excited
crowds thrOnged the streets singing "God
Save the Queen" aud giving boisterous
demonstration in favor of the Government.
This excitement extended to the House Of
Commons, and a heated debate occurred
some of the Conservatives desiring that Mr..
Forster amendment should be retained aud
formally voted down. Mr.. John Bright ex.
pressed the opinion that if Turkey preferred
a Russian alliance to that with England that
preference would not warrant the government
in assuming belligerent attitude. The ques-
ton, shall the speaker leave the chair? which
precedes the motion to go into committee,
led to further debate, in which the govern
ment policy was censured, while the Conser-
yatives retorted by accusing the Radicals of a
want of patriotism. The Speaker was ulti-
mately voted out of the chair by 295 against
96. The House then went into committee
and adjourned till Friday.

WYE RIVER SAELT.-The st. Micaels Comet
says Major 7. b. Ferguson, commissioner
OF fish and fisheries, placed large number
of young smelt in the head waters of Wye
and Miles rivers, last year. These fish are
now in our waters. The spawn of those
planted here by Major Ferguson were OBJ
tanned from New Jersey. Having heard that
the seine-haulers in Wye river are now draw
ing ashore multitudes of little FISH, four or
i've inches long, Of q species heretofore not
found in these waters, we wrote to Major Fer.
guson to find out if possible, if these are not
the smelt he planted. From Major Fergu-
sons reply, we take the following extracts
'The smelt spend most of their time in salt
water, where they feed on small crabs, shrimp,
etc., and during the winter and early spring,
they run up into the brackish and fresh water.
for the purpose of spawning they spawn in
New Jersey in March. The small fish, you
refer to may be the smell, and if you will
cause some of them to be sent to me, | will
take great pleasure in identifying them. The
smelt is a very delicious fish for frying, and
although it never reaches a size greater than
seven or eight inches, they are taken in great
numbers and will be a very valuable aequisi-
ton to our waters"
An Illicit distilery in the North Mountain,
near the Pennsylvania line, and about TWEEN
ty-five miles from Hagerstown, was broken
up on Tuesday by Colonel E. NJ. Mobley,
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue assist
ed by Jacob Late, W. Z. Gumbert and w.
l.. Byers The distillers were Andrew Kee-
fer and Jack Ambrose. When disturbed oy
the officers they were killing hogs, but the
stills and worms afforded proof of their real
occupation. They have been lodged in Jail.
This party has been under surveillance for
more than year, this being the third effort
made by the Deputy Collector to capture the
party. A complete outfit was brought away
or destroyed. Among the articles captured
was a smooth bore rifle with very heavy
load in it, intended to repel the officers.
The Havre de Grace Republican says
One of our fishing boats has caught this Win
ter over 5000 eels, which have been shipped
to the Philadelphia markets. When we re-
member that these eels were all imbedded
about two feet in the mud under four feet Of
wafer, where they are speared and hauled up
one by one, the largeness of the catch will
become apparent
Baltimore city owns 255 licensed oyster
schooners and sloops, and counties own 2S5;

The Talbot county Commissioners propose
to let on; the working of the public roads by
contract to the lowest bidder. This plan has
not worked very well in Cecil county. The

as possible for the money, and there has been
as much complaint Of bad roads under the
contract system. as the former system, of ap-
pointed supervisors.

Gloucester, Mass, fishing vessels returning
from Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, report
the nearly total failure of the fishery, owing
10 the hostility Of the Newfoundland fisher
men. At Long Harbor, a crowd of fishermen
OIL shore loosened the end of seine belong
ing to two sohooners, the Ontario and New
England, and let out catch Of herring esti-
mated Of 5000 barrels. Other schooners
were warned that their seines would be
treated in the same manner if they persisted
in setting them, and that their vessels would
be towed out of the harbor if they persisted
in fishing. Only two vessels, the Moses
Adams and the John W. Bray, secured car
goes, and this was accomplished on the part
of the Moses Adams by her crew happening
to be armed with revolvers. and thus able to
keep the crowd at bay. The aggrieved fish
ermen will lay the matter before the authori-

The busiest toilers in the industrial hive
are the newspaper men. They toll while
others sleep. What would be the effect
on the American public if the newspaper
press were to suspend operations for but
one week ? We can only conjecture
The wheels of progress would be blocked
in every direction and stagnation would
ensue, mental, moral aud material. IF
the sun we're to pause in midheaven the
