BALTIMORE, February 9Th, 1880.
MIR. EDITOR: Since / have been here | have
made the acquaintance of an old gentleman, Capt
William Frazier, who having been a public man
for many years and well known to number of
Hartford countans, who have from time to time
represented the county in the councils OF the State
thought short sketch of his life might be of in
terest to your readers. The following received
directly from Capt Frazier and he being one of the
most reliable men of to-day, his utterances may
be stated as strictly authentic:
Capt. William Frazier was born June 18th, 1885,
in Dorchester county, Md. His father being
farmer brought William up on the farm. AT the
age of twenty-five years he became sailor DO tn
coastwise and foreign. He followed this life for
thirteen years, when he returned again to the
farm. Taking an active part in the politics of
those early times, he became an active supporter
the Legislature, and at various other times up to
1867, he was member of the Legislature and of
the Senate of Maryland. In early life, being
sailor and captain of his own vessel, he was en-
gagged freightng the first stone from Port Deposit
to Old Point Comfort, to construct the present
Fortress Monroe. During his career as a repre-
sentative, he was the companion of Thomas Hope,
Samuel Sutton, Ohio Scott, Abe Cole, Henry w.
Archer, Henry ID. Farnands, Luther NJ. Jarrett
and Others, of Hartford, whom he remembers dis
tinctly and to whom and their survivors he desires
to be remembered Capt. Frazier is now in his
Sth year, and an inspector in the Baltimore Gus
tom House. climbing the sides of the ships with
the elasticity and tirmness of man of forty years.
He frequently walks from one to three miles,
morning, and evening" in the performance of his
duty. His countenance is lit up at all times with
glow of genial good humor. j. r. f.

Senator Bayard made manly and pow
erful plea, in the Senate on Monday, for the
restoration of Gen Fitz John Porter to his
rank in the regular army as Colonel. Porter
was tried by court martial during the war,
adjudged guilty Of cowardice and dismissed
from the army. He has always protested
that he was unjustly condemned, and after
years of weary waiting, at last succeeded in
having his case re-opened. A new and i'm
partial trial was held before board of army
officers, who unanimously reversed the de-
cision of the former board The report of
this military commission was sent to the
President, by whom it was transmitted to
Congress without recommendation. The
proposition to restore him to his position in
the army and pay for the time he has been
out of service has been made the occasion for
Haunting the bloody shirt, solely for political
effect.

The Inspection Of LiamOr.

Mr.. EDITOR ! see an article on the inspection
of liquor in your last paper. If you will grant the
feebly reply. 1t is an admitted principle in
physiognomy that the expression of the counten-
ance Indicates the general character of the indi-
yidual Also the general character of the man
may be imagined from the production of his pen
We judge from the article oyer the signature
"Commonweal that the author is some poor
dyspeptic dragging out heartless life of misery
and disappointment, having lost all confidence in
himself and his fellow beings, that he is power
lature to make him righteous by driving his beset-
ting sin from the land We hope he is not PLAYING
the Phairsee, by making long prayers and loud
take smile" "Sobriety has long since learn
ed whether he practices it ornotJ that our foIes
should cease with our youth, and that we should
not remain ignorant In spite of experience, for
surely age may become justly contemplated II the
opportunities which it brings have passed away
prevail when passions have subsidized. The bible
informs us that good and evil are set before us by
divine appointment, and that we are required to
choose which we will take, being free to take the
Ing language: wine Is mocfer and and i strong
haS bSb thereby
Who hath contentious? Who hath babbling p
Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath red
ness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine:
they that go to seek mixed Wine" LOOK NOT
upon the wine when 1t is red at the last it bteth
like serpent and stingeth like an adder" But
there is nothing said about moving the wine out of
its place, or prohibiting its manufacture The
warning Is justly given, and If we refuse to heed
1t we must take the consequences. Again it saws
" Give strong drink unto him that is ready to per-
ish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts,
Let him drink and forget his poverty and remem-
Der his misery no more. Thou shalt not KILL"
but there is no command against the manufacture
and use of implements by which life might he
taken. Thou shalt not steal" but man is allow
ed to accumulate property even to the tempting
Of the thief. Thou shalt not commit adultery"
but women may parade their charms and their
beauty before the world, and their presence can
not be removed. "Commonweal says, "How
the old topers could guzze and feel all the time
that the staff Of life was pure, and that they were
no longer swallowing strychnine, sulphuric and
nitric acid, choral, benzine, logwood and vinegar
But could we rest assured that this inspector re-
ceivng yearly with his assistants about $4,000 of
our money, would not add to his salary trifie by
passing some mixed liquors? All, there is the |
rub" &C. III the gentlemans idea is correct, we |
had better dispense with the inspections general
y, discontinue the executive and judicial depart
ments, call home the Legislators, and let the old
ship of State drift out into the ocean of chaos for
here isnone righteous, no not one-except "Com-
