On Friday Of last week Judge Yelloit dis
charged two men and two women from the House
Of Correction under writs Of habeas corpus. The
parties were all committed from baltimore city.

9th district OF this county contains many more
than 81 900 inhabitants, the number returned by

tho 9Th district side Of wosdberry, there GER
tainly must be more than 10000 In the balance of
the district. We see no reason TO doubt the cor
Tectness Of the cnumerators' returns.
That the Towson Guards 10 = very popular
organisation 10 evidenced by the fact that every
thing the company undertakes proves successful.
The tournament Of Wednesday surpassed the
most sanguine expectations Of "thc boys" who
did every thing in their power 10 make II pleas

ly conduct and soldirrly bearing Is worthy Of all
praise.
The Towson Guards tournament was n
decided success with exception. Why they
should have selected for chief marshal n man who
could not keep sober aud whose language and be
havior was not only disgrace 60 himself but
stigma upon the fair fame Of the company, Is
beyond the comprehension Of those whose sensi'
biliiies were shocked by the ribaidish behavior
Of this so-callcd major"
