Judge Richard Grason, of Towsontown,
was on the bench Saturday, in the Circuit
Court for Baltimore county, for the first time
since his recovery from recent illness.

well cleared of all cases ready for trial, at
the last term

THE DEFEAT OF COMMUNICATING long
contest between President Hayes and Senator
Conkling, over the New York custom house
appointments, was ended, on Monday, by the
confirmation of Messrs. Merritt and Burt as
Collector and Naval Officer, by the Senate
This success ofPresident Hayes and Secretary
Sherman, over one ofthe btterest opponents
of the present administration, can scarcely be
regarded as triumph of civil service reform,
but rather as the displacement of an old po-
litical machine and the substitution of q new
one, which will be run in the interests of Sec
rotary Sherman for the Presidency. Twen-
ty.seven Democrats voted for the nomina-
tons and seven against them. OF the Re-
publicans twenty-three voted to reject them
and thirteen in favor of sustaining the Presi-
dent. In thus unfolding President Hayes and
Secretary Sherman the Democratic senators
probably saw that they were dealing severe
blow to General Grants aspirations. With
the political influence of the New York Gus
tom house at his disposal, Secretary Sherman
at once becomes formidable rival TO Grant
for the Republican nomination for the Pres-
dency. Between the two weaker nomina-
tion than either may be forced upon the par
ty, thus rendering Democratic success more
certain. As it stands it is a very pretty quar-
rel, indeed, and one in which Democrats can
take little interest, except as it may affect the
next Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency

THE REPUBLICAN WRANGLE.-Mr. G.
Irving Ditty, of Baltimore, is unremttng in
his efforts to secure the removal of Collector
Thomas from the Baltimore Custom House
Mr.. Ditty, it is stated told President Hayes,
the other day, that unless the White House
doors were shut against him he would never
cease to come and demand Mr.. Thomas's re-
moval until he was removed. 1t is claimed
that Secretary Sherman has been won over
to the outs and will use his influence against
Mr.. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas's friends deny
the latter statement however. The fight is
vigorous and well sustained on both sides,
and it is extremely probable that President
Hayes will in the end yield to the importuni
ties of the enemies of Mr.. Thomas. The lat
ter urge that the political influence of the
custom house is not. used to strengthen the
Republican party in the State. Republicans
in the counties complain that their brethren
in the city are more highly favored than
themselves with appointments in the custom
house, without any corresponding advantage
to the party, the city being overwhelmingly
Democratic, any way They think that a
judicious distribution of the offices among
the counties would inspire Republicans there
with fresh zeal in behalf of their cause Mr.
Fulton's famous plan of "electriying the
State" has evidently not been very great
success, if we may judge from the want of
harmony that exists among Republican lead
ers

ANOTHER RAILROAD PRoPosED-A cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Record, writ
ing from West Chester, Pa, says: "a deed
was recorded in the recorders office of Ches-
ter county, Thursday, which secures fran
chises and rights of way to company, under
the title Of the Maryland and Delaware rail-
road, which, it is understood, covers the
route of a proposed railroad from New York
to Baltimore" The Philadelphia Times says
it is understood that this company is the old
one which long ago projected the connection
of the Baltimore and Ohio road with New
York line.
The friends of the Baltimore and Delta
Railroad need be under no apprehensions
that the proposed railroad will interfere in
the least with their enterprise. The new
project is merely to secure for the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad the control of line from
Philadelphia to New York.

A Sick Senator.

The excessive corpulency of certain United
States Senator has long been the butt of editor
ial wit and spicy bon mots from the pens of Wash
ington correspondents. Few persons have sus-
pected that his obesity was disease, and liable
to prove fatal. Yet this is the sad fact. Excess
sive fairness is not only disease in itself but
one liable to generate other and more serious
ones. Chemistry has at last revealed safe, sure
and reliable remedy for this abnormal condition
of the system in Allan's Anti-Fat Distinguish
ed chemists have pronounced it not only harm
less but very beneficial to the system, while
remedying the diseased condition. Sold by
