RELEASED ON HABEAs CoRPUs.-On Wednes-
day Messrs. Scott and Cooley, counsel for Ralph
Washington, colored, sued out writ of habeas
corpus, in behalf of their client, who was under
arrest, charged with ''using language which
causes w. Smithson Forwood to fear personal
injury to himself or family, or damage to his
property" The case was heard before Judge
Walters, who decided that the commitment was
defective so far regarded the fear expressed by
the complainant of damage to his property, and
ordered that the storm-tossed mariner, Wash
ington, be turned out under the blue canopy
He was accordingly released, and left in hurry
Mr.. Forwood then renewed the charge before
Justice Martin and another warrant was issued
for his arrest. The State was represented by
States Attorney Hopkins and Herman Stump,

VS.. Edward Gibson, colored, charged with ma
liciously setting fire to and destroying the barn
of Mr.. George j. johnson, in Bush River Neck,
on the 23d of last September, the jury on Thurs
day night of last week. brought in a verdict of
guilty. Gibson lived on farm belonging to
Mr. johnson, and upon settlement of accounts
made some threats against his employer. The
evidence was circumstantial. Gibson wore
pair of boots which were fastened together at
the sides by wire. After the fire. tracks, believ-
ed TO have been made by Gibson, were seen
leading from the side of Romney Creek opposite
to Gibson's house, and were traced in the soft
ground to within eighty yards of the barn. where
they were lost in the grass. 1t was shown that
mending boots with wire is common among the
colored men in that neighborhood. On the
other hand the State proved that the distance
apart of the marks of the wire ON the ground
corresponded exactly with the spaces between
the wires on Gibson's boots. Gibson was not
seen at the fire A motion for new trial was
filed by Gibson's counsel, Messrs. Stump and
Young. The State was represented by States

AN EXECUTION IN CECIL.-On Friday last,
near Elkton, Medford Waters, colored, suffered
the extreme penalty of the law, for the murder
of Jenkins Whaley, also colored, on November
18th, 1878. On that day Waters, Whaley and
others were husking corn together in IL field,
|swhen trivial dispute ensued between Waters
and Whaley. Waters, who was person of I'M
governable temper, went to his home, and got
a pistol, telling the family that he meant to kill
Whaley. Upon reaching the field he carried out
his threat. He then left, but was arrested in
Queen Anne's county, where he had obtained
work under an assumed name. He was tried
and convicted, but was granted new trial He
was convicted second time and notwithstand-
ing every effort was made by his counsel Messrs.
Evans and Nc Cullough, to secure communication
of his sentence, Governor Carroll refused to in
terfeie.
About 500 persons assembled to witness the
execution, but very few of them were colored.-
The crowd was orderly and well-conducted.-
The prisoner was conveyed to the place by the
Sheriff and his deputies, and was accompanied
by his spiritual adviser, Rev. Henry Williams
He was calm, and in firm voice while standing
on the scaffold exhorted his hearers not to let
their PASSIONS overcome them as they had him,
and expressed his belief that his sins were par
doned At 11.35 the black cap was drawn over
his head and the drop fell. His neck was bro
ken and it is probable that his death was pain
less. The attending physicians, Drs. II. II.
Mitchell, r. II. Tuft and others, after the body
had been hanging thirty minutes pronounced
life extinct and it was cut down.
TRIAL FOR MuRDER.-The trial of VIM. Henry

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED-On Wednesday
morning, between and o'clock, Mr.. William
Booth, farmer residing near Dublin, was found
dead in his bed. He had been at work on Tues
day, and at night retired to bed at his usual
hour in apparently good health. He was lying
on his left side, and from the fact that the bed
clothing was not disturbed, it is supposed that
his death was painless. Mr.. Booth was q native
of England, but had resided many years in Har-
ford county. He was about 65 years of age and
leaves wife and number of grown children.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE N LEGIs-
LATURE.-The Easton STIR says:
From what we learn from the Western
Shore, we think it highly probable that Hon.
Herman Stump, of Hartford county, will be
the next President of the Senate, and that
Hon. Hiram Mccullough, of Cecil county,
will be elected Speaker of the House of Dele
gates. Senator Stump presided with distin-
guished ability over the late Democratic State
Convention that nominated William T. Ham
ilton for Governor. He is lawyer by profess
sion, possesses fine talents, is Il strong speak
er, and filled the chair of the Convention with
great dignity Mr. Mccullough has had eX-
pcriencc in Congress, and his age and talents
cntitle him to the position of Speaker of the
House With two such presiding officers, the
next Legislature ought TO have no difficulty in
dispatching large amount of public business.
This county will sincerely regret the loss of
Col Lloyd as President of the Senate, but hav-
ing filled the presidency once, with honor to
himself and advantage to the State he can
magnanimously afford to yield the place to
the Senator from Hartford, county that al
ways gives heavy Democratic majority, and
seldom receives any Of the honors of the
party.
