TnURsDAYnoRSISc. Assilssh, isso.

The MARYLxSD LEGISLATURE
Both branches Of the Maryland Iegis-
lature adjourned sine die on Monday
night last. At this date, Il would be
idle 10 attempt even a summary OF what
our lawmakers have accomplished
FaiEminded correspondents, however,
who have been on The spot and watched
the proceedings OF both Houses from
their 6rst meeting 10 their final adjourn
ment. whilst arraigning their non-action
in several respects regarded by them as
important, admit that they have seoul
ed valuable additions 10 The body Ofour
Legislative code. We shall all be bet
ter able TO Judge Of the character OF
tAese when we know what they are,
and as tbs Is past finding out just now,
The wiser part appears 10 beto reserve
both praise and censurs until We can
take a more intelligent survey than we
can at present. It viii interest our
readers to hear that the old system Of
tobacco inspection has been LEFT un-
touched and that the new inspectors
have alI been confirmed BY the Senate.
We suppose they viii enter upon their
duties in The course of few days. 1t
is known that the new Registration Bill
has been defeated. The Oyster Bill
had a happier late and it's claimed Tor
il that il will secure much better pro-
lection 10 the oyster-beds Of the Chesa-
peake and its tributaries than the old
law provides. The good effects Of the
new law. however, be they great or lit
lie, in consequence of the untimely adj
iournment of the Virginia Legislature,
will scarcely reach OF present the Poto-
mac section OF our State. A State In
solvent law has been passed, but il has
not yet received the approval Of the
Governor. The laws to punish drunk
enncss and profane swearing are else
where. given. Provision for the cleo
ton Of judges in 1881 has been made IN
the shape of an amendment TO the Con-
siitution. The new school law failed.
The bill providing for the leasing Of the
hay and cattle scales, the gambling bull
and the bull repeating the bounty laws
have passed. A local option bill for
fhis county Is submitted. AT this wri-
ting, we are unacquainted with its pro-
visions, but presume il is in ordinary
form. None Of our delegates have yet
reached home.

A CURtoUs OBJEcTEoN.-In the u.
s. House Of Representatives last Mon
day. Mr.. Robertson, of Louisiana. offer
ed a series Of resolutions 10 apply the
Monroe doctrine 10 the Panama Canal
project and 70 prohibit its construction
upon the ground that the Gulf Stream
would be diverted from its. course 10 the
British Isles. That in consequence the
climate OF Britain would be made as cold
as Labrador. Mr.. Robertson has been
ridiculed for his pains, but this curious
idea is not origina! with him. Mr.. ST.
las Brent. OF this country. seriously pro-
posed the digging Of canal across the
Isthmns with this very object in view,
namely, by this means 10 freeze up the
hafbors Of Great Britaiu-so rum COM
mercial rival Of the United States.
Commenting upon this proposition,
the British Quarterly Review in 1876
pronounced Brent's proposal utterly alb
surd from an engineering point Of view:
but goes on TO say. thai without doubt
the opening of passage large enough
for the Gulf Stream 10 flow through,
would be disastrous 10 North Western
Europe. In principle, Mr.. RobeEtson's
resolutions are not preposterous. but to
expect the Gull Stream to flow through
Q Ship. Canal is aboei a. reasonable as il
would be 10 expect the Mississippi riv-
or he diverted from if< courxc and 10
flow through goose quill.

At weatherhy, Pa, on March 18th, STAN
LEY MORGAN, infant son Of p. II. and Katie
Latham.
Such q little beeak in the sod,
- So tiny 70 be grave. t4t
But vet we have the 60 nsciousness that death,
that stern and memorable reaper, has entered
our little garden, and with one blow Of his fatal
scythe, laid low our youngest and tenderest
blossom. ''@@ ~
AS tender buds are blasted before their bloom
by the biting winds. he hreaihes on -our dear
little ones, and before his breath, they drO0p,
wiiher and die.
How hard II is to reconcile ourselves 10 Cor
will and say '.Thy viii, not ours be DONE"
The,aged, when dying, may say: ga
It's blessing to- live, but greater to die,
And the best Of the world Is the path TO the sky.
But when our dear children are taken from las,
il is hard to bow in meek submission and chant
this refrain. Yet sorrows are often like clouds
which ah0nGh black when they are passing over
us, when they are past become rs II they were
the garments of God, thrown OF in purple and
gold along the sky. Let US then take consola-
ton In the knowledge that though we mourn,
the little one rests among the angels.
God gives us ministers Of love which we regard
not being near;
Death takes them from rs, then we feel that
angels have been with us here.

The. OLD ScANDAL.-The admins
tration of Grant was prolific Of scandals,
conspicuous among which vas the
Freedman's Savings Bank swindle. The
poor, deluded blacks of the South were
induced to bring their meagre earnings
and put them in the voiacious mouth Of
This political idol, in the faith that what
they brought would not only be safely
kept for them but would be increased a
hundred fold for their future use or en-
richment. And the simple victims de-
prived themselves almost of the neces-
saries oil life 10 swell their little hoard
which they believed the government
was keeping aud increasing Tor them.
The report of Senator Bruce's COM
miltee recounts and renews the inia-
nous stOryofthe bank swindle by which
the pitiances of the poor blacks were
swallowed up. And it tells more. II
shows that, with ali The fleeing Of the
ignorant blacks by the bank robbers,
they have Jared no better at the hands
Of the philanthropists who. under the
Grant regime, took charge ofthe wreck.
Since the institution went into liquI-
dalton. $4,000 has been paid as sala-
ries to the commissioners appointed by
the government to wind up its affairs;
$4,000 10 agents, and $31, 900 TO stior.ss
neys, in all $751;, 900 more taken out of
the funds due the poor depositors.

Lapsus Of describing the traverser in certain

harshness Of this expression We hasten TO retract
and make the Gmsnde honorable BY declaring
that, though strong for FIELD as ever: we had
neither purpose nor design Of embarrassing the
aspirations of any other presidential candidate,
particularly of any Leonardtown candidate.
The expression objected TO was caused by the
