were elected. The fact that the

iusiohlsts had adjourned, and quietly
SET ABOUT presenting their claims to

oeliall as party of peace and law.
All VINO knew the facts in the case

cohhrm their action and thus let them
OUT OF the very bad position into
which they were forced by the Dem.
ocratlc thieves.
The Democratic caucus last night
agreed upon a programme of action
which isa good deal more moderate

the Appropriation bills substantially
as the President signed them before,
with theexception of the bill to pay
the GsSed States marshals On that
they propose to make fight, and
say that they never shall be paid for
services at the polls. In reality it
means also that they shall not be
paid for services in enforcing the
revenue laws against the law break

oUS ANNAPoLES LETTER.


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 9Th, 1880.
There was a crowd at the State
House yesterday in attendance at the
organization of the Legislature. The
House was called to order by Milton
Y. Kidd. clerk of the last House of
Delegates. An election for Speaker
was then held, which resulted in the
election of Hon. Hiram Mccullough
by 81 against Is votes cast by the
Republicans for Hon. j. NJ. Scott, of
Washington county. The Speaker
was conducted to the chair and APP
peared very much at sea, as he failed
to entertain several motions and to
act on others.
1t is too early as yet to speak Of
the comparative ability OF this and
preceding Legislatures, the members
not having had an opportunity to
exhibit their capacity as legislators,
but we miss all the more prominent
and abla members of the session of
1878.
On the Democratic side are missing
Messrs. Blair, ex-governor and ex-
senator Thomas, Williams, of Balti-
more county and Rayner of the city.
On the Republican side we lose Mer-
rick, Hincks, Brace, Lawrence and
Perkins-all the most prominent
members and most effective Speakers
on both sides of the House. What
ever of talent and craftsmanship the
new members may develop we can't
at this writing forecast.
! There was but one measure intro :
duced yesterday calculated to test
the sincerity of Democratic profess
slons of economy and reform, and
that was vote on an order to lot the
public printing out to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, but was defea ted
by a party vote.
There will be great deal of bust.
ness before the present Legislature,
and from present appearances bust
ness will 80 slow.

Death of a Good Man.

Jonathan Friend died at his resi-
dence in Garrett county, October 81,
1879, aged SO years and 30 days. He
had been member of the M. E..
Church SO years, and an exorter 81
years. This aged Christian brother
was more than mere member of the
visible church. He was a member
of the mystic body Of Christ-a iv-
ing branch in the life-giving vine.
He was well qualified to be an ex-
horter or leader in the church, for he
was man ofsound judgment, steady
habits and exemplary christian life.
lie was well acquainted with the
Holy Scriptures, and with the doc
trines and discipline OF the church of
his choice. His death was fitting
sequel to the long and useful life he
lived. His end was calm, his exit
peace. might dews fall not more
gently to the ground, nor weary,
worn out winds expire so soft. "Let
me die the death OF the righteous,
and let my last end Je like his" |.

chant, who has just returned from a
three weeks business tour of obser-
Walton through this State, Western
Pennsylvania, Southern Ohio and
West Virginia, gives a glowing ac-
count of the revival of industry in
all that region. The leather manu-
facturers, he says, are refusing to
take further orders, and have as
much business on hand just now as
they can take care Of until midsum-
mer- The furniture manufactures are
all working full time, and likewise
have orders far ahead. AS for the
iron and steel establishments, he says
many of them are at work night and
day, and some of them experience
more or less difficulty in obtaining a
supply of the right kind of labor.
The farmers, too, are jubilant, and
are expecting to increase their hog
crops and grain acreage this year un-
der the stimulus of good prices, and
their improved financial condition,
resulting from last years harvest.
Saw few orno tramps; in fact, almost
everybody was at work.

Poisoned with I've.

An unfortunate ana dreadful acct
dent occurred at Midlothian, near
trostburg. on Saturday afternoon
last. II seems there was some con.
centrated I've in a vessel standing
where the water is usually kept, when
daughter of Mr.. Jacob Walbot,
aged about ten years, picked up the
vessel and drinking its contents,
thinking it was water She soon dis
covered her mistake, however, and a
messenger was sent to Frostburg for
a pysician, but on his arrival the lye
had done its work and no antidote
could save her. AT latest accounts
she still fingered in great agony and
her death was looked for at any hour.

down stairs at her residence. with a

her any aid, and she expired from

1t is clear enough that the Demo
Gratis are bound to have a majority by
States in Congress if they have to
steal it. Their plan to steal seat
from Minnesota and put that notori-
Gus demagogue, Ignatius Donnelly,
into it, is easily understood. 1t Is
n.ueh worse than the proposed theft
of Congressman Orth's seat in the
Indiana delegation, but it is safer
theft to make. Minnesota is a sure
Republican State, and an outrage like
this upon it will only increase the
Republican majority; but Indiana is
a doubtful State, and the theft Of
seat from there might convert it into
a sure Republican one. The calcula-
ton is shreWd one. but it will have
the effect of rousing the country to
the peril which is before it. There is
absolutely nc safety save in the cleo
ton of a Republican President by a
vote 50 overwhelming that even a
fraudulent Democratic Congress will
not dare to set the will of the people
aside.

on the public debt, the cost of the
public school system, and the neces-
sary expenses of the civil list, which
reforms can only be effected by
proINpt collections and returns to
the treasury. Since his last message
the court of appeals has decided that
certain railroad interests in the State
are subject to taxation, and as one
company has determined to appeal
from that decision 10 the Supreme
Court of the United States, he thinks
the appeal can be obviated by an
amicable adjustment within the
power of the Legislature.
The Attorney General has inform
ed the Governor that little or no
modification of the revenue laws is
required. In reference to the tobac.
co trade the present system of inspec-
ton is stated to affect seriously its
material inteaests, and that the ware.
houses ought to be leased to parties
who will inspect on their own re-
sponsibility, and not as Government
officials. The Office of weigher gem
eral and weigher of grain is recon-
mended to be abolished as a need-
less expense, and sundry other eco
nomical reforms advised. The
pnblic school system is endorsed, but
is considered susceptible Of amend
ment, as regards the auditing Of ac-
counts by the State board or county
commissioners. The agricultural
raj college is deservedly lauded, and
the several eleemosynary and refor-
matory institutions passed in salts
factory review. The oyster law is
examined, and reductions urged in
the salaries of the oyster police force.
The militia force, aggregating 1,S00,
is maintained at an annual cost of
fifteen thousand dollars, which is
considered small GU lay, as c0ntras-
tel with that of other States. An
additional appropriation of ten thou.
sand is recommended for completion
of repairs to the State House, and a
new registration law is considered
essentially important by the Cover
nor. Since the Introduction of Pisci-
culture, six years since in Maryland
waters, the results are stated to be
satisfactory, and that the commission
should be entrusted solely to one Of
fetal, subject TO the control of the
Governor. We have given succinct
resume Of the most prominent fea-
lures of the message, and can safely
add that it is a valuable addition to
the State records, and evinces lib
eral comprehensive policy.
