detected by the laws of the state. If it were
true that education only checked the coarser
and more british forms of crime, it is worth
all it costs, twice over. The cost of detecting
prosecuting and punishing criminals and
supporting paupers, together with the shame,
the misery, the cruelty and the wretchedness

tion matter of economic necessity, by reduc--

ANNAPOLIS, Mch. 13.-The events
in the Legislature this week did not
contribute to solidify the two factions
of the Maryland Democracy. If any,
thing, the bitterness is on the in
crease, and will so continue until the
end of the session, and the indica-
tions are that the contest will be car
ried into the next campaign for party
supremacy. The Governor does not
hesitate to ayOw that the fight for re-
form and economy is his fight, and
that he makes common cause with
those who are aiding him in the low
er house of the General Assembly to
carry cut his policy. In order to as
certain his sentiments on the strug-
gle on the tax commissiOnership on
Friday last in the House of Dele.
and his opinions in kindred matters,
your correspondent, who was COM
PEELED to remain ever in Annapolis
the greater part of Saturday, called
on the Governor at the executive
mansion, and discovered that the
present occupant of the gubernato-
rial Office is far from being gratitied
at the action of the majority of his
party in the House Of Delegates yes
terday. Did say the majority? Let
me correct. The Governor does not
think that those who carried the day
on Friday represented the majority
of the patty; neither does he believe
that they compose the majority of
the popular branch of the Maryland
legislature. He thinks that their
victory was a mere accident,and that
the feeling Of the House is with him.
"Why, SIR" said the Governor to-
day, ga full House would have car
ried the bill for the abolition of the
Office. The House is solid with me
and for my measures, and had not
some of the members been absent the
result would have been different"
The final vote which decided the fate
of the bill, it will be remembered,

Helping the Iron Interest.

A dispatch from Johnstown, Pa,
to the New York Times has the fol-
lowing in relation to an important
railroad improvement 1.-The great
Cambria Iron Company annually
pays to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company 81, 100000 in freight bills,
and has for years been wanting some
other way Il get its goods to market
and receive supplies. Several years
ago railroad nine miles in length
was constructed from Somerset, Pa,
to place now known as lockwood.
Somerset is on the Connellsville
branch of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road, and few months ago the latter
company, having an eye to the great
carrying business of Johnstown, pur-
chased that nine miles of road and
formed company known as the
Somerset and Jamestown Railroad
Company. The Cambria iron works
at once subscribed about 100000 in
aid of extending the railroad to
Johnstown. The distance from Som.
erset to Johnstown is SO miles, and
the cost to complC te the road to the
latter place is estimated at $3.50, 900.
The right of way has all been secured
and the company has advertised for
proposals to build the road. The
work is to be commenced early in
April and completed in October.
The connection given the Baltimore
and Ohio by the building of this road
will be a most valuable one. Johns
town is one of the most important
manufacturing towns in the State
being the centre of the great iron in
terest of Pennsylvania, The iron in.
terest will be especially benefited by
the road, as by it the markets of Va.
and West Va. will be opened to 1t,

engagements, and, as you are a mem
her of that body, you Will have the
direction of affairs in common With
the other members"
At this the Governor looked up to
the ceiling, drew his lips together,
glanced around and said nothing but
his looks spoke volumes.
Governor" again quried the re-
porter, "the powers of the Board of
Public Works will be considerably
enlarged by the passage of the pend.
ing inspection bills"
"Oh, no." replied Gov. Hamilton.
"oh, no; Oh, no. Their powers will
not be enlarged. l don't think thew
will be enlarged. The bills have not
passed in their present shape as yet.
and we will see what we will see.n
The conversation somehow then
drifted into discussion on the canal.
The Governor has not yet forgotten
the strong majority against the
Washington county Democratic tick
ct in what are known as the canal
districts. "That was terrible, sir,
terrible. The boatmen on the canal
voted, almost without exception, the
Republican ticket. Some of them
recollected that they were punishd
during the riots on the line of tie
canal; and the canal management
being Democratic, that may have j..
duced them to vote that way. But
things will not change until the canal
is taken out of politics."
"Do you favor the sale of the canal
by the State ?"
ooh, no,' replied the Governor.
"But J. want it to be conducted on
business principles. want it to be
managed as a business affair and not
as political affair. We must do that
sir, or the people will not believe we
were in earnest when we made our
promises and pledges in the last cam
paign."

and direct communication by way OF
the Parkersburg Branch and the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati railroad, will
be opened with Cincinnati and the
Southwest. The new route will
bring Johnstown 50 miles nearer
Baltimore than Pittsburg is, which
Twill give its manufactures a great
advantage over those of Pittsburg in
transactions with that important
market. The newly-discovered ore
mines in Hardy county, w. Va,
which are reported of remarkable
quality and great extent, will be by
the Somerset and Johnstown link and
Baltimore and Ohio connections
sixty miles nearer Johnstown than
Cleveland, whencethe Lake Superior
ore now used in the iron works is
transported to this place. The Cam
bria Iron Company will bring all of
its coke, coal, friedrich and sand
stone, which is used in enormous
quantities, from Virginia when the
new road is built. The road is to be
laid with steel rails, and will De
equipped and operated by the Balti-
more and Ohio, which will own a
controlling interest. The road will
eventually be connected with the oil
regions by pipe line, the distance
being short to the nearest oil connec-
Iion."

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican. J
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Mch. 16, 1880.
Mr.. Mcmahon, of the House, has
clearly stated the position and inten-
tons of the Democratic party in re-
Iation to the decision of the Supreme
Court on the federal election laws.
He declares the decision as partisan,
and asserts that his party will take
the responsibility of defying it and
of refusing to appropriate money to
pay the Special Deputy Marshals. as
long as the law remains as it is. The
Supreme Court decision, he says,will
make no difference to the Democratic
party. So it is now certain upon what
issue his party will go before the
people next fall. Payment is to be
refused those officials authorized to
enforce the election laws /; appropria-
tons necessary for the Departments
are to be denied, and the public ser"
vice will be badly crippled, if not
stopped, unless the president win as
sent to the repeal of law decided
constitutional by the highest judicial
tribunal in the land, and hast but not
least. "holy crusade" against fraud
headed by the "great feformer,"
Tilden. Such course rs this is alb.
sotute suicide, aud the Democratic
party will meet with the overwhelm-
ing defeat it deserves at the hands of
the loyal voters at the north.
One effect of the present wise and
efficient Democratic management is
the stoppage to-day Cf all public
printing by the Government Printer.
This deficiency was brought to the
attention of Congress months ago.
But the Democratic leaders were so
engreossed in manufacturing cam
paign material for the Republicans
that they considered this an unim-
pOrtant matter.
General John B. Hawly, assistant
Secretary the Treasury has resigned.
This resignation is surprise to all,
and many reasons are assigned forit,
the most probable are being, that
as he is candidate for the Republic
can nomination for Governor of
Illinois, he felt it his duty to give
more time 10 the canvass than he
could while connecte I.with. the Urea
asury.
The Democrats cannot resist the
temptation to tanner the laws direct
ing the counting of the electoral vote.
They can enact no legislation on the
subject at this session. But are en-
deavoring 10 agree upon joint rule
to govern the count. While the
Democrats are anxious to make
changes the Republicans are satisfied
to let things remain as they are know
ing well that any changes will be
made with an eye only to partisan
advantage, and not the general wei
fare. Ii is safe to predict that no
alterations will be made.
