"A carnival of crime seems to exist in this
country at the present time. Every day
brings news of some fresh horror. The latest
is an account of the attempted murder of
negro man by boy of fourteen, in Caroline
county, Va. The boy dug grave and calling
the negro to the spot pushed him in, and when
he attempted TO climb out savagely attacked
him with Ratchet, and left him for dead
When arrested he said he had been on friend
ly terms with the negro, but that he had be-
come possessed with a demoniacal desire to
do murder, which was too strong to he resist

thereby submitting Mr.. Hayes's title to
judicial test, were defeated in the State SEN
ate, during its last hours, but subsequently,
reconsidered and passed. The memorial is
not likely 10 disturb Mr.. Hayes's customary
serenity, but the document will become part
of history and may aid in influencing Con-
gress TO devise some means whereby it will
be impossible in the future to defeat the will
of the American people in the ctoice of
President. Mr.. Blair has persisted since the
beginning of the session in his efforts to com
init the Legislature to an expression of its
opinion in relation to the great fraud, and he
has at last succeeded.

A Foreign War Imminent.

The resignation of the Earl of Derby, an
advocate of peace, from the British cabinet
may be assumed TO mean that the English
government has determined to resort to arms
If Russia insists upon the terms of her treaty
with Turkey, which treaty is believed in
England to be adverse to British interests
The people of England and Russia appear to
be anxious for war, and the situation is now
so critical that hostilities may be commenced
at any moment. The British fleet is in the
Sea of Marmora, while the Russians have
command of some of the fortified positions
around Constantinople There are some
slight hopes of a conference yet, through the
influence of Germany, but neither England
nor Russia manifest any disposition to with
draw from the positions they have assumed.
1t has been the dream of Russia, for hun
dred years, to obtain control of the entrance
to the Black Sea, and having succeeded at
last she is 10th to surrender the fruits of her
hard-earned victory at the demand of Eng
land. On the other hand, Russian supreme
cy in that quarter is in direct opposition to
British control in the East Indas. English
statesman are keenly alive to the fact that if
the question is not settled now il will come
up again, and perhaps at time when Rus
sia is better prepared for struggle. The
finances of Russia are in bad way, and she
would go to war under difficulties England
on the contrary, was never in better condi-
ton for conflict. Austria, it is thought, will
take sides with England. She can menace
Russia at once with 100000 men, and would
thus be an important ally to England.
war between two such mighty powers
would be no childs play, and the ultimate
result would be extremely problematical
1t is difficult for Americans to fully enter into
the feelings which stir the British heart at the
interposition of any obstacle in the way of a
free passage to the East Indeas, but the SYM
pathies of English-speaking people the world
over will be with our British cousins. Eng.
land is the great bulwark of civil and reli-
gous liberty in Europe, and anything that af-
fects her welfare will be check to the civili-
cation and progress of the world.
Such a war would certainly give an impe-
tus to farming interests in this country. 1t
would enhance the prices of grain and of land,
quicken commercial and manufacturing en-
terprises, and thus give employment to thou
sands who are now out of work.

RUNAWAY BoYs.-A few days ago Mr..

Green, discovered that two ofhis best horses,
a buggy and harness, had disappeared, and
with them his son, aged 10 years. and COL
ored boy, II years of age, who was in his en-
ploy. The fugitives went first TO Perry
Evansville, thence to the Mountain, and from
there to Castleton. AT the latter place they
were recognized by Mr.. John Wann, an un-
Gle of young Forwood, who put stop to
their journey and took them home. The COL
ored boy escaped, but returned, was arrested
and sent to Jail, on the charge of stealing the
horses. 1t appears that young Forwood
claimed one of the horses as his own, it hay
ing been given to him when colt by his
father, and the negro persuaded him to run
off and sell the horse

Hon. JOHN MERRYMAN-The Towson-
town Herald says it is generally understood
that Mr.. John Merryman, of Baltimore coun
ty, is candidate for Congress from the
Second Congressional district, and adds:
Mr.. Merryman bears an unsullied reputa-
ton at home and abroad He is eminently
familiar with the needs of his State and coun-
try, influential in the highest political circles,
where he is respected and admired not less
for his integrity than for his statesmanlke
attainments. Though q strict partisan, he is
liberal and respectful to those whose political
proclivities do not coincide with his own
Possessing that laudable pride of character
which distinguishes the upright man, he is
incapable OF mean action, and during long
political career he is singular in that he has
never even been charged with violating his
word. He is n careful thinker, and his opin-
ion carries weight wherever it is given
With such reasons to impel us, we unhesita-
tingly commend him to the people as n man
in whom they can repose the utmost conf
dence."
The Frederick Union also speaks of Mr..
Merryman in the following terms:
John Merryman, of Baltimore county, is
spoken of rs tae next Democratic candidate
for Congress, in the Second District of Mary
land. Mr.. Merryman is high-toned gentle
man, of great popularity, and would make a
very faithful and efficient member of Con.
gress. His many friends throughout the State
of Maryland would he delighted to hear of
his n0mnation-as his nomination would he
equivalent TO his election"

NEW METRIC SYsTEM-Hon Alexan-
der Fl. Stephens has introduced q bill into
the House of Representatives, to promo tie the
general use ofthc metric system. He discards
the French terms and substitutes others
which he thinks the masses can readily I'M
derstand. The following are the metric ia.
bles proposed by the bill:
MEASURES OF LENGTH.
lOO pairs make nail.
lUO nails make metre.
100 metres make kile.
MEASURES OF SURFACE.
10000 square metres make great acre
MEASURES OF BULK AND CAPACITY.
100 drops made spoon.
100 spoons make quart
100 quarts make q cask.
MEASURES OF WEIGHT.
100 seeds make n corn.
100 corns make nut.
100 nuts make bi-pound or bp.
1000 bips make a ton.
Mr.. Stephens's nomenclature has queer
look, and has provoked disrespectful newspa-
per scribes throughout the country to suggest
improvements upon his system. For instance
the New York World thinks liquid measure
should be brought home to our business and
bosoms in some such way as this
10 swallows make l drink.
10 drinks make ! spree.
10 sprees make triangle Tor jimsJ.
And an Ineligible table of dry measure
would be:
10 nibbles make one bite.
10 bites make one square meal
and so forth. The liquid scale in Mr. Ste
phenss bill must have been suggested by the
well-known measure, "forty drops" familiar
in some parts ofthe country.
