of the Judge earnestly seek for the

to say that they know nothing Of the

to push him off the bench. They
say: "We not only know nothing

are not in sympathy with this dis

Amendments to the School Law.

1t is understood that the joint COM
mittee on education of both Houses
will report Bill makin several i'm
portant changes in the School Law,
in reference to the County School
Commissioners. The bill provides
that these officers should be hereafter
appointed by the Governor. by and
with the advice anil consent of the
Senate, and should enter upon their
duties on the first of May after their
appointment, in case the Bill passes
at sufficiently early date, it is ex-
pected to go into effect Immediately,
and the Governor will be required to
appoint before the end of the present
session. The new School Commits
sioners are obliged to elect their Ex-
amner and Secretary, at their first
meeting in May. They are also re-
quired to make report annually, on
the thirtieth day of April, to the
Board of County Commissioners, set
ting forth the different sources Of
their income and the disbursements,
duly itemized, made during the yeai
together with the proper vouchers
therefor.
The removal of the appointmret OF
the Commissioners from the Judges
is good thing, but it would have
been better to have made those off
GERS directly elective by the people.
The provision, that they shall be
obliged to report an account Of their
receipts and disbursements to the
County Commissioners, will COM
mand the appropriation of every tax
payer.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Case

filed by Judge Bond oyerruing the
objections which had been made and
argued some days since to the juris-
diction Of the court. The objections
raised were three The tendency of
another suit in the State court, to
which the complainant in the present
suit is party, and in which he could
obtain all the relief sought by the
present proceeding the fact that Mr..
w. w. Corcoran, of Washington
city, one Of the trustees for the pre-
ferred bondholders, is a necessary
party and is not made one and that
the State of Maryland, also holding
a mortgage upon the canal and its
tolls and revenues, is a necessary
party, and is not and without its con-
sent cannot be made a party. The
State, it may be observed, is a party
to the suit in the State court. With
respect to the first point, Judge Bond
decides that the suit in the Circuit
Court of Baltimore City is entirely
distinct in its nature from the pro
ceeding in tie United States Circuit
Court. 1t was brought for the specific
purpose of having the priorities of
the several classes Of mortgages,
lienors and creditors of the canal adj

Archimedes' Levers.

n. Y. Graphic.
The great mechanician of antiquity
is said to have declared that If he
could only find fulcrum big enough
to rest his lever on, he could lift the
world. But as bad luck would have
it, there wasn't suitable fulcrum to
be found anywhere in the solar sys-
tenn within easy reach of Sicily, and
so the inventor had to give up the
idea. 1t was asserted, we believe, in
some of the Syracuse mot New
York. papers, that Archimedes was
an old fraud and wanted to get credit
for doing what he knew would al
WAYS remain a mere theory, on ac-
count of the lack of fulcrum.
They said it was by no means
fair shake to praise the old stem
winder for an invention before he had
made an actual and successful exper-
iment with it. Bets were offer, q by
prominent sporting men that if he
did get one end of his lever under
the earth, with the moon for full
crum, and the entire Board of Alder
men on the other end, somewhere in
the neighborhood of the North Star,
he couldn't raise the earth one
filtieth of an inch. carpenters meas
urement. This ridicule excited and
disguised Archimedes so much that
he offered to burn the whole crowd
editors, reporters, gamblers, and all
bald headed in about five minutes
by the City Hall clock, with set OF
double convex glasses, if they would
only come out Of the sample room Of
the Syracuse Shades" long enough
to give him a show. But these. bold,
bad men only laughed over their
lager and said: '.Go to. old Greek
go to your laboratory and perfect the
machine, and when you get it done
Well help you to give a free exhibit
ton under the beams of Edison's
electric light!"
Archimedes was SO bully ragged
by these men that he went and in
vented the "Game of Fifteen,' as a
dire revenge, and then got himself
killed by a roman soldier, who had
come to Sicily in search of Greece for

fashion fperished. the only man who

The ranks of the Republican party
were never more complete and pow
erful than at the present time. The
work to be accomplished lies wide
open before us and the issues are so
well established as to form platform
which shall unite all elements and
command the full strength of the
party in all sections of the Union.
All that will be required is that a
standard bearer shall be selected
against whom no breath of scandal
can be hurled. Fortunately we have
many men who can fill the bill and
before the convention shall meet
public opinion will have so crystal
lied that the work of that body will
be simply to ratify the sentiment and
preference of the people in their
choice. We want leader who shall
be selected as the uprising thought of
this mighty host of patriots who love
their country, and have sworn that
its liberties shall be preserved.

Hon. Milton G. Urner, member OF
Congress from the 9th District, and a
lay delegate of the Methodist Church,
of Frederick city, to the annual con-
ference now in session In Baltimore,
was on Friday of last week, elected
as the representative of that body to
the General conference Of the church
to be held in Ohio during the next
year. Mr.. Uruer thanked the con-
yention for the honor conferred in
electing him a delegate. He was
proud, he said, of his Methodist hiss
tory, and had a strong attachment to
the Methodist Church. He would
rather not have been introduced as a
member of Congress, but as Brother
M. &. Urner. He felt that it was an
honor to be given a seat in Congress,
but he held it more honor to have a
seat in the General Conference of the
M. II. Church. His election as dele
gate was the browning honor OF his
life. He would try to represent the
interest of those who sent him, as
well as promote the Interests OF
Methodism.

The scholarship to which Garrett
county is fairly entitled in one or
more Of the Female Colleges, is not
available except by the courtesy Of
the Presidents of these Colleges, there
never having been any appropriation
made by the Legislature. We un-
derstand bill is before the Legisla-
ture to remedy this neglect to our
county, and that it is delayed by the
fact that the Democratic caucus has
determined to "reform" the appro-
priation for these scholarships out of
existence. This may or may not be
done, and our scholarship may again
fail for lack of the necessary atten-
ton. Pass the bill, gentlemen,g giving
us equal educational privileges, and
if the wisdom of the caucus prevails
they will all go together. If not,
Garrett county, by the proposed act
will only be on an equality with ey-
cry other county in the State. We,
of course, do not question the wisdom
of these measures of'reform, but is it
not small business to take away
these petty scholarships from the
poor girls of the counties, and leave
your Commissioners of Insurance,
Taxes, tobacco warehouses, and other
large and useless expenditures prac-
tically untouched?

At a recent term of the quarter

the district attorney informed the
court that he had no indictments or
bills to present to the grand jury; the
sheriff also stated that he had no
criminals in prison; the directors of
the poor reported that they had no
one to keep at the county's charge or

One thousand dependent people
thrown out of employment is by no
means a pleasant feature in any COM
munity. The Democrats forced upon
the country an extra session of Con-
gress last year which entailed an ex-
pense of $3.50, 900 for printing alone,
which they feared to make an APP
preparation for at the time, and the
bills having to be met and paid, the
regular appropriation is exhausted.
An appeal has been made to the pres.
ent Congress to pass deficiency bill,
to make good the amount. but econ.
omy, and a fear to face the music,
with a Presidential Campaign Just in
front of them has prevented the ma.
jority in Congress from providing for
the payment of these bills which now
stand as monuments of Democratic
folly.

ed into the streets, through the ac-

There seems to be danger that
workingmen in various branches of
business will seize the present time
as a favorable opportunity forstrikes,
knowing that trade of almost every
kind is good, and thinking that they
can therefore compel employers to
yield to their demands. The strike
is poor method of redress, and
should only be adopted when there is
just cause for complaint and all other
means of getting at right decision
have failed. Where there is an in
crease in the general prosperity it is
proper that the employed should
share the good fortune of the en-
ployers; and if the former would
adopt a moderate and conciliatory
policy they might be surprised to find
that the latter were ready to meet
them halfway.

The hill for the removal Of the dis.

The bill for the removal of the dis
abilities of an ex- Confederate soldier,
that he might secure position
in United States army, Wednesday
of last week, provoked debate in
the Senate which will not pass un-
needed by the country. The prin
ciple of the bill was promptly pointed
out by Senator Edmunds, who chal-
lenged the presentation by bill re-
peaIing the statute imposing disa-
bilities altogether, instead of the
offering of measures discriminating
in favor of particular individuals.
The challenge was accepted, Garland.
of Arkansas, Offering a substitute
repeating the statute in question,
and that substitute was adopted by
strict party vote, every Democratic
Senator voting in the affirmative.
The issue was thus made directly,
whether that great guaranty of peace
which excluded those who fought
against the Union from commands
in the army of the Union should be
broken down; whether men who de-
serted the flag to destroy the nation
should be rewarded with commits.
sions in the military service. The
Democrats will next want to reinstate
those who deserted the flag of the
EItnion and grant them back pay for
time spent in rebellion against the

of those who were to sustain them.
AS the falsity of the accusations are
becoming apparent, the indignation
of the people IS turning against those
who have made them.
The Sergeant-at-Arms, Charles Ell.
Pope, of the House of Delegates, ar
rived in this city at late hour on

summoning witnesses for the prose-
cutfon in the case against Judge

morning. He was accompanied on
his visit by Chas. III. Shuck, who
furnished him information as to
places and persons. He had long
interview with Judge Pearre, and
succeeded in serving summonses up
on some thirtv-six witnesses. There
are one or two to summon who live
out of the city, who will be summon
ed during the forenoon on Monday.
after which witnesses for Judge
Pearre will be taken up. Three of
the female witnesses are non est, but
they will probable be present at An
napolis. Mrs. Rent was summoned
yesterday. There will be about forty
witnesses on each side. The Ser
geant-at- Arms last night said that he
had been instructed not to furnish
for publication the names of witnesses
already summoned, and expressed
his regrets that he could not give the
desired reformation. A large num-
Der of witnesses will leave here for

night.
There was consultation held here
