TROOPS AT THE PoILS.-1he debate over
the repeal Of the law authorizing the presence
of federal troops at the polls, at the election
for congressman, was opened in the House,
last Saturday, by bitter speech from Mr..
Garfield, in which he attempted to show that
the course of the Democrats, in insisting upon
free elections, was revolutionary. His speech
was tissue of misrepresentation and its OBJ
ject apparently was TO arouse the old war
spirit among the Republicans and re-kindle
the embers of sectional strife
For seventy-tive years the country was
prosperous and happy, when the States man
aged their own elections, without the inter
vention of federal troops to preserve order
and if the time has come when the State gov
ernments are no longer able to ensure orderly
and honest elections, we have indeed entered
upon the last days of our Republican system
of government. If there was any reason for
the law, in the disturbed condition of affairs
at the South Immediately after the war, the
reason no longer exists. The country is at
peace. The States are all able to enforce the
laws and preserve order The law which Mr.
Garfield so strenuously upholds, and the repeal
of which he denounces as revolutionary, was
opposed, at its passage, by such Republicans as
Vice-President Wilson, John P Hale Thad-
deus Stevens and William d. Kelly. They re-
garded it as unnecessary and dangerous to the
liberties of the country The presence of
armed troops at the polls is certainly contrary
to the spirit of republican form of govern
ment, in which the military is supposed to be
subservcnt to the civil power When the
civil authorities are powerless to suppress
disorder, the State can have recourse to its mil
itia but the.presence of United States troops
ut State election is a menace to the liberties
of the people. If permitted, History may re-
peat itself, and as in ancient Rome, a hired
soldiery, the peoples servants, may some day
rise up and become their masters
Mr.. Chalmers, of Mississippi, replied effect
lively TO Mr.. Gartields speech. The debate
has been continued with considerable bitter
ness on both sides. The Democrats, however
have the best and patriotic side of the arg,l-
ment. They are endeavoring to preserve the
liberties of the people; and the future of this
country, as republic, may depend upon their
frmness in adhering to what every rejecting
and patriotic mind must acknowledge Is right

been confined to his room for several weeks, by
illness, is now somewhat better.
Mr.. James NJ. Reynolds, the popular eight
ming rod man." returned last week from bust
ness trip ofa month to Pittsburg, Bedford Springs
and other points in Pennsylvania. The impress
sion prevails that his return at that time had
some connection with thunderstorm which
occurred shortly after his arrival. Whether it
had or not, he says he is prepared to rod houses
and barns at short notice
Mr.. Charles H. Raitt, formerly of this coun-
ty, but now resident of Newton county, Mis-
souri,, has been in Bel Air, this week, on visit
to his sister, Mrs. Eye. Mr. Raitt was warmly
welcomed by his many friends. He is assessor OF
Newton county, a position he has held for several
years, having recently been reelected.
Mr. Samuel s. Miles, Jr., native of Hartford
county, son of Mr.. Samuel s. Miles, formerly OF
Dublin district, has been in Hartford for several
weeks, visiting his friends and relations. The
Messrs. Miles, father and son, now reside in
Southern Nebraska, where they are largely en-
gagged in stock raising and farming. They have
leased, from Mr.. David Jones, a slate quarry in
West Bangor, and have recently opened it.. A
large quantity of the top has been removed, but
marketable slate has not yet been reached-that
being generally found at depth of about twenty
feet. Mr.. John Hughes is managing the quarry.
HAvRE DE GRACE ArFAIRs.-From the Repub-
Hcnn:

The annual election of officers of the Havre

lowing officers were elected to serve the ensuing
year: President, A. K. Treadway; Vice-Presi-
dent, j. Lyle; Treasurer, L. X. Herbst; Secreta-
ry, L. Woodhouse.
--Messrs. George L. and Henry Wells have re-
moved from Washington to Havre de Grace, and
will shortly commence farming near the latter
city, on the farm purchased by Mr.. Wells short
time ago.
On Friday night, March 21st, the residence
of Mr.. George E. Carver was entered by burglars,
who helped themselves to eatables in the kitchen,
and also took pocket book, containing some
loose change wearing apparel an umbrella and
table linen. They made their way through the
house by lighting matches, the burnt ends of
which were found on the floor the heEt morning.
Crazy Jane, Mr.. r. 7. Clayton's fine trotting
mare, recently attempted to jump fence, while
on the farm of Mr. j. Henry Greenway, and fail
ing to clear it lodged on one of the posts. She
was found hanging, or rather balanced on the
fence, not being able to move. 1t required the
aid of several men, after cutting the fence down,
TO release her. 1t Is feared that this has perma-
ncntly injured the mare, which ends her trotting
career, and will prove serious loss to Mr.. Clay
ton.

MARYLAND DAIRYMEN's AssoCIATIoN.-A
meeting of the Maryland milk producers and
others interested in the formation of a society
for mutual protection, was held in Baltimore
city, last Saturday. The producers of milk
along the various railroad lines leading out of
Baltimore were represented, Messrs. Charles w.
Michael and A. c. MORGAN being present from
Hartford county. The subject was fully discuss
ed, and n committee of producers and CONNER
cal dairymen was appointed to draft constitu-
ton and bylaws, to be submitted to meeting
to be held in Baltimore on the 18th inst, atwhich
time the Maryland Dairymen's Association will

The milk business in the counties is conducted
entirely upon credit, the city dealers making
settlements for milk received every month. A
large amount of money is annually lost by farm
crs from the inability or unwillngness of pur-
chasers to meet their obligations. The object
proposed by the association is to make arrange
ments whereby the milk shall be furnished only
to responsible and reliable, dealers. On the 9th
er hand, the legitimate dealers desire protection
from dishonest producers (and there are few
such-but not in Hartford county, we hope,) who
sell skim milk for the pure article to the detri-
ment of the business and the discredit of honest
dairymen It is proposed to seek to have amilk
