The New Baltimore Stock Yards.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have
begun extensive improvements at the Cal
verton stock yards, and expect by the first of
next July to have accommodations for 1000
head of cattle Large scales will be provided
at different points in the yard, to obviate the
necessity of taking the cattle to the State
scales to be weighed. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company are also construct.
ing an ahattoir and stock yards, along the
line of their railroad, near the city, where
cattle will also be weighed and sold
When these two great stock yards are fin
ished the State Cattle Scales will be ushered
out of existence and the revenue derived from
them lost to the State. The last Legislature
passed n law, upon the recommendation of
Governor Hamilton, by which the State Cat
tie Scales We're to be leased, and leaving it
optional with buyers and sellers of live stock
to have it weighed at the State Scales or else
where Since the weighing was not compul-
sorry no one would lease the yards pay all the
expenses and run the risk of being re.imburs-
ed by the fees for weighing. Consequently
the cattle yards are still managed by the
State rs they were before the law was passed,
except that the fees for weighing, we believe,
have been reduced, and the salary of the
weighmaster cut down from s., 800 to s., 500.
Notwithstanding they are not compelled to
have them weighed at the State scales, yet from
force of habit or because it is convenient,
sellers and buyers still resort thither, and the
consequence is that the Cattle Scales will this
year yield revenue to the State of from
$4,000 to $4,000. Nearly all of this comes
not from citizens of Maryland but from resi-.
dents of other States who bring live stock to
Baltimore for sale. The amount derived from
the Cattle Scales is turned into the Treasury
and when it is cut off, as it soon will be- an
equal amount must be raised by taxation.
OF course when the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio companies stock yards
are finished no live stock coming into Balti-
more by either of those roads will be taken
to the State Scales to be weighed and sold
but it will all be weighed at one or the other
of the great rival stock yards. The large
amount of money the State has invested at
Calverton will nearly all be lost, together
with the revenue which under q faithful adj
ministration of its affairs could have been de-
rived for the State.
Nor is this the worst feature of this bust
ness. The farmers of the State will scarcely
be able to see any superior advantages in
having their cattle weighed by irresponsible
and perhaps interested parties instead of by
sworn State officers. Besides the State eff
GERS were compelled to weigh live stock at n
fixed rate of charges, while the private weigh
ers can charge whatever they please. This
abolition of the compulsory feature Of weigh
ing, it seems TO us, as things are now going,
is one of the reforms which is likely to be of
benefit to two great railroad companies, and
4 great loss to the State.

Mr.. Thomas J. Turner has retired from

Georgian, published at Upper Marlboro, Md,
having sold the paper to Messrs. F. Nelson
Jarboe and II. Gates Van Antwerp. Mr..
Turner was connected with the Prince Geor-
gIaa for thirty years, during which time it
has been one of the handsomest and best con-
Quoted newspapers in the State. In thus
putting away the cares and responsibilities
of newspaper life, We hope the evening of
his days may be serene and happy. His sue
cessors are young men of ability and enter
prise, and will no doubt keep the Prince Geor-
gian up to the high place it held under Mr.
Turner's management.

EXECUTION AT TowSoNTowN.--John Goth
ard, alias Sandy Smith, colored, was hanged
at Towsontown, last Friday, for the murder
of his employer, Mr.. Joseph Wood, II farmer
living in Patapsco Neck, Baltimore county
The crime was committed on the night of
December I'd, 1880. Gothard had been doing
odd jobs about the place. On the evening
named Mr.. Wood returned from the city
with his wagon and ordered Gothard to put
away the horses. The negro gave him sury
answer and Mr.. Wood started towards the sta
BILE himself with the team. On his way there
Gothard struck him on the head with an axe,
causing him to retreat to the house As he
reached the door his wife opened it, with n
lamp in her hand. Mr. Woods assailant again
struck at him, the axe knocking the lamp out
of Mrs. Woods hand. She rctrcated from
the door picked up her child and started to
go to neighbours. Hearing guns she
swooned from fright, but recovering went on
to the neighbours and gave the alarm. The
neighbor proceeded to the spot with color
ed man and found Mr.. Wood lying in the
yard bleeding and insensible, the negro hav-
ing shot him. He lived for several days.
Mrs. Wood was present at the execution and
witnessed the entire scene unmovcd, and
when the drop fell exclaimed, "You arc all
right now, old boy After his arrest Goth.
ard fcgned idiocy, and played his part so
well that Rev. A. d. Melvin was induced to
ask Gov. Hamilton for a respite, but the Gov
ernor could not see sufficient grounds upon
which to interfere.

OLD FRIENDsIN New DRESSES. The Bal
timore Gazette ON Monday donned suit of
new type, which with new head lines, &c,
makes 1t now one of the handsomcst journals
in the country. 1t has been improved in a
marked degree, since Hon. George Cotton has
assumed the management of it, and his tai
ents, tact and energy will, we are confident,
soon place it in the front rank among its
contemporaries In his announcement Mr.
Cotton says that THE Gazette still clings to
the political faith of Jefferson, jackson, Silas
Wright and Bayard, and adds:
Believing that harmony and concert of ac-
tion-alike in State and National politics
are essential to party success, it will turn
deaf ear to the chickering's of factions and the
quarrels Of ambitious leaders Believing,
also, that political reform is only possible
within party lines, it will give comfort to no
movement that has for its object the dismem-
berment of the party organization to the
sole profit of Republican politicians.
We cordially wish it abundant success.
The Baltimore American also appeared last
Saturday in an entire new outfit oftype. 1t is
as neat as new pin, and its broad pages are
filled with general and local news, together
with well written editorial and other matter
Although the Ame,fcaH is as strongly Re-
publican as ever, We can congratulate it not
only its improved appearancetypogra-
phically, but also upon the dignified, polished
and conservative tone that has marked its
management for some time past. The new
type for both our entcrprisng contemporaries
is from the establishment OfMcssrs. John
Ryan IL Co, Baltimore.
