The New Corporation Law.

Mr.. EdStOr Two years ago / framed a
Jaw and passed it through the Senate, al
lowing the qualified voters of the town of
Rockville, regardless Of any property quail
Iication, to elect the officers of the town
That law was defeated in the House by our
Delegates, on the representation of some of
|pur citizens that if such a law was passed it
would allow the colored voters to vote and
they would control the elections in our
Down. AT this session / introduced and
passed through the Senate a similar law,
which went to the House, and again it met
with the same objections, but being unable
TO dispute and ignore that great Democratic
principle, the right Of the people to select
by ballot the officers TO rule over them and
spend their money, the Delegates in the
House have seen proper, and | believe by
requests of certain citizens, to amend that
law, and so frame it as TO allow none to
vote unless they pay a corporation tao.
| want it expressly understood that such
law is repugnant to my notions of right
and of justice, contrary to every principle
of the Democratic party and the right of
every voter to have voice in the selection
Of those to rule over him, still it is the only
partial escape we have from that far more
undemocratic rule of entirely suppressing
the voice Of the people, and set of com
missioners who are not even residents of
our town to select our officers. / shall ac-
cept this amendment for the reason ! can
do no better, and | accept it under protest,
declaring that it perpetrates great wrong,
does injustice and deprives some of our best
citizens from exercising privilege which is
dear and cherished by every freeman.

Report of the Grand Jury.
To the Hon. Jatdges Of the Circuit Court j.:

To the Hon. JudgeS Of the Circuit Court:
We as Grand Jurors for Montgomery
county for the March Term, 1880, have care.
fully examined into all cases brought before
us and have found bills in such cases where
the evidence was sufficient to Justify any
Indictment. In regard to the lynching Of
G. W. Peck we gave the witnesses a rigid
examination and could find no evidence that
would give the least clue to the perpetrators
Of the crime. We would recommend that
the license for selling of liquors by Adolf
phus Graf be suppressed.
The committee appointed to examine
the Jail reported that they found it in
clean and good condition, with the ex
ception of privy sink, which is nui
sance and abomination, inimical alike tC
health and decency. The small waste Oh
sewage pike has become choked so there is
no outlet from the sink. 1t is recommended
that the sink be located outside the Jail wal
connecting by means of large pipe through
the wall with basin inside the yard. 1t il
also recommended that a doorway be cut il
the wall between the basement, kitchen anc
the cellar, that the latter, which is of no ser
vice now, may be utilized as a storage place
for provisions. The Warden called our at
tenten to the necessity Of a shed-porch owe
the door of the basement kitchen the waite
from the heavy rains collect in the area anc
have no escape save through said door int
the kitchen.
The committee appointed to examine tn,
Aims House reported that they found 43 in
mates, l6 white and 27colored,) which wer
cheerful and comfortably cared for, and tina
the house was in a very clean and health,
condition, which reflected great credit on tn,
supenindent and his wife, who appeared ad
mirably suited for their positions; they alst
found the outbuildings and land in goot

Question and Answer.

Mr.. Editor Five or six weeks ago notice
appeared in the Advocate, that certain INSTALL
ment of the public school tax would be paid
10 Samuel r. White if he would go to Annap-
oils 10 receive 1t in person, but the no tice fur
ther stated that, as the other Examiners Of the
State were not required TO 60 for the money,
the School Board refused to allow Mr.. White
to do so. Two gentlemen from this county,
happening to be in Annapolis at that time on
business with the Comptroller, they made
some inquiry Of him concerning this report,
when he promptly informed them that there
was no truth whatever in it.
About two weeks ago there was a notice in
the SENTINEL TO the effect that the Board of
County Commissioners had promised the
School Board that they would see to it that
the Collectors paid over promptly all moneys
levied for that purpose. Believing that this
notice was cut out of the same cloth as the
former one,' i called on the President and
Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners,
who assured me there is no truth in it, and
the first they saw or heard of it was through
the SENTINEL.
Now, Mr.. Editor, be kind enough to let the
public know who this falsifier is, and oblige
TAXPAYER.
Our informant was the Secretary to the
new School Board, Mr.. S r. White, who says
a member of the Board of County Commits.
sioners voluntarily gave him the information,
but since its publication has said that it was
not officially communicated.--ED. SENTINEL.

Letter from Medley's District.
PooLrsvILLE, March 22nd, 1860.

PooLEsVILLE, March 2Znd, 1861.
Mr.. Editor:-I will give you an idea of the
grand view of nature that we have from this
vicinity and what our people think of the
present troubles of the canal and the public
schools. To the North we behold the lofty
peaks Of the Sugar Loaf Mountains, and to
the West, just across the placid waters of the
Potomac rises the chain of the Blue Ridge
which girts our western horizon, and at their
feet the plane of this section of our county
extends before you as lawn at the footstool
Of those grand pyramids of nature with the
ripling waters Of numerous creeks, and the
much abused canal which is silently, though
surely, carrying on its bosom burdens of coal
and rural produce to the headquarters of
navigation where it finds an outlet to the
markets Of the world.
1t is TO be hoped our Lawmakers will not
allow this, the most useful and the grandest
of public works, to be hampered by intes-
tine strife and outward attacks of its enemies
to the detriment Of the grand results as laid
out for it to accomplish by its earliest pro-
jectors, who now lie mouldering in their
graves.
Speaking of our Lawmakers, what are they
doing in behalf of a majority of their con-
stituents, who now have no say how our
schools shall be managed or who by2 Is it
fair or is it just that those who have stood by
the faith, as taught by the fathers, should,
when victory perched on the Democratic
banner from their exertions, at the time that
some Of the present would-be school board
was seeking the aid of our opponents, and even
the present President OF this new departure
was trying his best 10 have one, not Of the
Democratic faith, put on the State Board Of
Public Works, and kept harping on it, as be
is now doing with regard to our county
schools, with The motive, as some thought, of
getting himself in the coveted position, until
Gov. Carroll at a public meeting gave him to
understand that his ideas and views would
be tolerated, and if our Lawmakers would
take example from our worthy Governor their
would soon be quietus put to the school
farce by reinstating the old board, which a
majority Of the true Democrats of this county
are confdentially looking for.

your vote with the worst set of men ever
known in Maryland, politically, against hold
ing a convention? Do you ever in the lone
watches of the night contemplate the fearful
import of that vote 2 Does it never suspend
a Damocean sword from your ceiling2 Do
you never feel on account thereof that the
garment of Nemesis encircled your loins?
Yes, Democrats Of the Old Tenth Legion,
behold in your President of the School Board 4,
in fact, the whole school machinery of the
county in his own hands, this man who voted
to keep you disfranchised and ostracised in
the lowering days anterior to '67. Who
voted to keep you bound down by those worse
than Puritanical blue laws, for they were the
black laws of Maryland Radicalsm. Who
st-ove to rivet the chains fastened upon us by
ignorance, superstition, prejudice and bigotry
in an era when affrighted liberty, shrieking,
tie6 from the borders of the old Common
wealth, ordained a land of political liberty
by the lordly Calverts. Democrats of Mont
gomery county, have you no "reminiscences OF
that political occnltation2 Have yeu no re-
collection as TO how Creswell, Thomas, Gary
and Others ran the whole machinery OF the
State with a few thousand voters, while you
and and men who had been voting here for
half century were DISTINGUISHED ? And to a
proposition to change this Mr.. A. B. d. op-
posed his franchise.
Oh, would some power the gifte gle US
To see ourselves as others see us.
Now, Mr.. A. B. D., il you promise to over
come your verbosity and keep sub rosa for
only short time SO that old man Mr.. 80
Do can have rest, | will promise to finish
this currying al another day, but if you will
turn round in the next issue of the Sentinel
and present your other side, shall certainly
be compelled to make the fur fly. | would
caution you that have only turned one leaf
of this unwritten history, and if you will
persist guarantee that this old county shall
know
A deeper, darker, deader tale Of woe
Than history's crimson leaves have told
Since Nero's car in blood o er-rolld.
Yours, truly,
II r. Uppcur
