THE hope of the monentalists is that
the Senate Finance Committee, will
smother the Silver Bill which passed
the House and refuse to report upon it.
Messrs. Beck, Voorhees, and Wallace
are members of the Committee and
they are not the sort of men who viii
permit their measures to be set down
upon in that way.

THE important question is, whether
the yellow fever will return to scourge

The interest on the subject grows apace

If anything that ought to be done to
avert the calamity, is left undone by
authorities or people, the reproach will
be terrible.

HAYES VS.. CoNRLING.

On Monday the fight that has for some days
been waging between President Hayes and
Senator Conkling was decided by the Senate
confirming Merritt and Burt as officers of the
port of New York to succeed Arthur and Con-
nell. Hayes in q short message TO the Senate,
stated that he deaired to supercede the present
iucambents because the Custom House was not
run in the interest of the government, but was
so managed as to pack conventions and die
tate nominations. In fact, il was very pref
ty little sermon from the old tsxt-Civil Ser
vice Reform.
Conkling in opposing the nominations said
that the Presidents opposition to the present
officers dated from and grew out of the fact
that Arthur refused to give an appointment to
gentleman, who had written a biography oil
Hayes, upon the Presidents recommendation.
Although he sifed Hayes righteousness in
the matter to a very doubtful showing, yet
he was forced to retire vanquished. Sherman
was very active in behalf Of the nominations
and is much congratulated over the result
Hayes is flushed with victory and regards the
result as another endorsement for bis policy,
whilst Conkling bears the defeat with consd-
cradle resignation, and comforts himself with
the hope that the time Of retaliation is not
far distant when he will undoubtedly make il
lively for Hayes, Sherman & Co. He attrib-
utss his defeat to the desertion of some of his
Republican allies.

Farmers Convention.


Mr.. Editor AT the Farmers Convention,
which was held at the Sandy Spring Lyceum
the 18th of last month, when some of our
most intelligent citizens, practical farmers,
from various parts of the county, were as
sembed, resolutions were adopted unanimous
ly relating to the taxes and expenditures Of
the county. A committee Of Eve gentlemen
was appointed to take the matter into consid-
GRAFTON, and If after consultation and deliber-
alton they deemed it avisable, they should re-
quest the taxpayers of the county to assemble
in Rockville on an appointed day to discuss
these matters and propose such measures as
might he deemed expedient.
Great uaeasiness is felt, and earnest COM
plants are made, in no party sense, at the in
creased and onerous rate Of taxation, and the
rapidly increased rate of county expenditures
which makes this taxation necessary. If these
increases OF taxation and expenditure are the
inevitable and natural result of the growth OF
the county in wealth and population. it should
quiet all murmuring and complaint 10 prove
these facts 10 the people, or if we can by an
exercise of the intelligence and wisdom of the
people devise ways and means for lessening
the county expenditures, and consequently
diminishing the rate of taxation, we are all
interested in doing so.
Every citizen is interested in the questions,
the rich man with his hundreds of acres, the
poor man with his little farm, and the poor
one who ia struggling along with abored ef-
forts to meet the deferred payments on his
purchase and secure home fox himself and
family; and the laboring man also is con-
cerned, because heavy taxation diminishes the
call for and support of agricultural labor.
May we not all meet together 10 discuss Mest
questions just as we meet 10 our political con-
vention 10 discuss questions Of party politics.
Both are important.
As there are always difference of opinion on
important subjects it may be well 10 hear
what may be said Tor and against the calling
of the suggested county assembly.

The Arlington ejectment suit, az was anti
eipated from the decision of Judge Hughes
upon the respective prayers of plaintiff and
defendant, has ended in complete verdict
for Gen. Lee upon all points at issue. The en-
tire property is restored TO its rightful owner,
who is declared never TO have ceased to have
Q title in it, and the verdict calls for the eject
ment of all the tenats who have been in pos
These include the United States, which has a
national cemetery, aud two other holders,
who bought at this illicit sale. They are
probably liable also for rents from the day of
sale. The case goes mp to the Supreme Court
OF the United States on appeal, and 10 the
meantime it will be no more than decorous
and proper for Congress TO compromise it by
the purchase Of the property, and SO perfect
the title 10 oae Of the most extensive national
cemeteries. The government will not be ex.
pected to abandon such burial place to Gen.
Lee, and yet the Supreme Court cannot help
but confirm the decision Of the Court below.
Hence Congress should buy the property and
be done with the unpleasant episode. 1t may
be stated that this ejectment suit was not en-
tered upon until Gen. q. W. r. c. Lee and
his mother also, had repeatedly, but always
in vain, tried to get Congress to take action ir
the matter and compromise by buying the
estate.

| For several months Andrew Fitzgerald, O
Brooklyn N. Y, a former prominent politi
clan, Was ailng, and for the past few weeks
| was unable TO take any kind of nourishment
As as a consequence he became very feeble,
and On Saturday last his ply stefan determined
to try the efficacy of TRANSMISSION of blood
from a healthy body to the diseased one,
for which purpose a stout healthy man was
secured. The patients arm was barred and the
delicate operation of finding, taking up and
opening a vein was successfully performed
The patients condition was such that his
heart was feeble and the vein could scarcely
be got at. The healthy mans arm was tapped
and his red, rich blood flowed freely into q
funnel held to receive it. This was connected
by tubing with a syringe, which worked into
a gold pointed tube, and it 10 turn led into
the opened vein. They took FIVE ounces of
blood (about three-quarters of lumber FULL
from the man and pumped it slowly into the
system of the dying patient. The experiment
was entirely successful and the instrument
worked to a charm. Unfortunately for the
patient he was already far gone, and after a
brief rally he retained full possession of his
senses until about fifteen minutes before his
death, which occurred at two o'clock on
Saturday afternoon.
