AT THE MARYLAND Institute meeting Gov.
Hamilton dwelt at length upon the wreck OF
the Sinking Fund, and Mr. Find,Ay, the 9TH
er speaker, occupied most of his time in
speaking of the fraudulent registration, de-
claring there we're about IS, 900 more names
on the lists of Baltimore city than
ought to lie there, the names Of dead
and renewed people, which enables
the rcpeaters Of "The Ring always to carry

a singular charge, in view of the fact that
Governor Hamilton appointed these Registrars

The most important matter in Paris now Is

The noted painters dispose of all their works
while such are on the easel or even before a
sketch be undertaken not a few are on the
dealers books, and youths to fortune and to
fame unknown, must remain till the end,
nothing but hacks. The exhibition this year
possesses the attraction of being srranged by
the artists themselves: they hitherto accused
the government Of mismanaging matters; there
is little in the way of reforms to be n4ticed;
the organization can hardly be said to be a
whit better. The galleries are the most IN

Dr. GEORGE u. MUDD.

Among the Republicans prominently
spoken Of for office under the Federal
Government is Dr. George j Mudd OF
this county. Further than that OF any
other private citizen, we have no inter
est to subserye in any appointments to
Federal office, but we believe the selec-
tion Of DIR Mud. would be eminent
Iy satisfactory TO ilis people of both par
ties in Southern Maryland, and most
gratifying to his very many friends IN
this county DR. Wilmer was one Of
the seven original Republicans of this
county, who voted for Lincoln in 1850,
but as soon as the war broke out DIR.
Mudd, who previously had been a Wing,
became pronounced Union man,
one of the few, known as such in a
community Of warm Southern sympa-
thizcrs. lie afterwards formally join
ed the Republican party, and has since
openly advocated that cause. When
that party first took the field in this
county, as political organization, he
was its first candidate for State Senator,
and the use Of his name, his strong per-
sonal and family influence and active
canvass did very much to promote the
lamentable success Of that fall. At this
time party feeling ran very high among
us and much bitterness was manifested
towards those who were most active in
organizing and leading the Republican
party DR. Mudd, being most promi.
nent, came in for a due share Of person
al and political sbusc and obloquy, an'
u We are sorry to say, the writer Of thi
n ,va. r..rsn.ost 10 this ignobIo strife Of bit
ter words. Time has brought abou
many changes since then, not the leas
Of which has been to cause US deep re-
greet for many unjust and cruel thing,
then said in the heat of partisan con
troversy, and we take pleasure now in
acknowledging our error. As Senator
from this county, DR.. Mudd made a
faithful public servant, and probably
would have remained in that position up
to the present time had he so desired
for we do not think any one in his par
ty would have sought to oYst him. But
he declined reelection and returned 10
his practice Should the President Sc
lcct him for position we are sure it
would be favor descrvedly conferred. ~
Certainly. if any section of the State is
entitled to recognition at the hands of
the Republican Executive it is this sec
ton of Southern Maryland, and the
Offices ought, from party point of view,
to be conferred upon those who have
borne the heat and the burden of the
day; and not on the camp-followcrs who
hang on lhe outskirts of the party and
- brazenly els,i,n their SHARE of the -po;l.
won by the toll of others.

A MOST DIsGRACEFrL RIOT AND STONE BATTLE
took place last evening on New York avenue
between 4th street and Loeffi3r'5 garden. II
q ems that colored Masonic picnic was given
al Gales woods. The organiz ation marched
out there In procession. With band OF music,
which had the effect Of drawing an immense
crowd CT several nurdred colored people from
Heirs Bottom. who followed the procession,
raising a cloud OF dust all the way. These got
into dispute with the colored people living In
Franklin and o streets. The crowd was thereby
Increased by the acc ssion OF several hundred
more. all following towards Gales woods Ga
the commoO the dispute eliminated In stone
night, which waXed hot. the Franklin AMI U
street gang driving the others back on New
YORK avenue. For some time each stood their
ground, but reinforcements coming In from che
neighbor1ng streets and alleys, the Hells Bot
tom gang was forced back up over the htli,
making q tumult which could be heard for
miles, and the dust and stones flew about live
y. This stare OF things continued the entire
length OF New York avenue towards TEh strset,
ana Is represented as most disgraceful affair.
The few policemen that were about did the
best they could towards quelling the mob. No
arrests were made, and so far as Is known no
one was killed. How many were injured Is not
known. No pistols were used.
