Every one will agree that the negro Re-
publicans of Baltimore are justified in
making row about the way in which
they have been treated in the Custom
house. In turning out DR.. ii. j. Brown
10 make room for Jere Haralson, of la
bama, as an inspector, the Hayes Admin.
istration has shown contempt for the
10000 negro voters of Maryland which
should be resented. Mr.. Brown is an
intelligent, capable colored man. So is
Mr.. HARRISON. But Mr.. Haralson has nc
business to invade Maryland to take
bread and butter out of the mouths OF
our home colored men. He is CARPET
bagger OF the meanest variety. The col.
o:ed friends OF Mr.. Brown can form some
idea f:om this business how it used to &c
down South when some white scalawae
from Ohio or New England was picked
up by their race and placed In position
over people with whom they had neither
sympathy nor interest. The negroes o.
Maryland, who do the bulk of voting fol
the Republican party, are capable OF fill
ing all the small offices at the disposal o
the Federal authorities. They are moi
only capable but extremely willing ant
we hope they will go on displaying in
dignaton over this Haralson busines.

the poor colored man, takes some motto,

On page $40, of the Revised Code, the
law is plainly laid down in relation to
peddlers. A Justice of the Peace has
no authority TO impose fine on peddlers.
The law distinctly says: "and If any
peddler shall refuse or neglect to show
his license, whenever required to do o,he
shall forfeit and pay ten dollars 10 any
one rho ciU sue for the same" The
action is civil one. A summons must
be served, the proofs and allegations
heard, and judgment rendered for the
amount if proven, then an execution is
sued, and ii the defendant has no goods
and chattels the execution is returned
"no goods" and that is the end of it.
Bat the way things are now done is to
arrest the defendant, impose fine and
costs, and in case of his refusal to pay
threaten to lock him up. This is not
only in violation of every principle Of
law but il is an outrageous, high-handed
assumption of authority. The people
should see that strangers arc protected,
aud not imposed upon by an ignorant,
law w-breaking official. This $50 and
costs shou' d be refunded to the peddlers,
and the presumptuous official be dealt
with according TO law. Ii he pleads ig-
norance Of the law he Is not fit TO fill the
position, and should be handed over t.
the Grand Jury. Thirty dollars and
costs taken from the pockets of three
strangers, without the least shadow OF
authority for doing, is an outrage that
should not be overlooked by an intelli-
gent community.
