Attempt to Lynch Five Negroes.

4 dispatch to the Nashville -AnaGita
from Springfield in reference to the ex-
pected mobbins of the five negro mur-
derers of Lapraede, who were sent from
Nashville for trial, says at 1910 O'Clock,
p. m., mob of 2j men on horseback ar
rived there and were Immediately
joined by parties who were noticed
lounging about the town all day.
They consregated at the Jail and soon one
door was forced, when Judge Stark and
Attorney General Bell approached, the
former addressing the mob, which agreed
to disperse ON condition that those gentle
men would promise the immediate trial of
the negroes without a change Of venue.
Tie promise was given and the mob dis
persed. There is some apprehension,
however, that it may return and endeavor
to carry ont its programme of lynching
the wretches. a train bearing the Rock
City Guards and the Porter Rifles arrived
at midnight.

SENATOR CAMERON has asked and OBJ
tanned an interview with Representative
Wolfe. His object is transparent.
He seeks to impress his party
with the belief that he is desir-
Gus of settling the senatorial difficulty
and is not responsible for its contin-
uance. But as he only offered Beaver,
as compromise, his desire for cOmpro-
mise was not made conspicuous. Nor
will it more strongly appear in his next
move which will be Beavers with
drawal and the presentation of another
animal wearing the Cameron stripes.

John Habberton's beautiful New Eng
land idyl of ''Deacon Crankett was pre-
sented at the opera house last evening, for
the second time this season, before an au
dicnce of goodly numbers and Of highly
appreciativc quality. The good deacon
was not long in making his way to the
hearts Of the people who looked upon his
kindly, genial face, admired his rugged,
courageous picty. honest integrity, and
quaint humor. He is the central figure of
a thoroughly entertaining story, which,
despite the few incoDgruitics that mark
its development, enlists and retains to the
finish the interest OF the spectator. Mr..
Ben. Maginley in the title role, Mr..
Wheelock as the sailor lover, Miss Helen
Sedgwick as the latter's sweetheart, and
all the other members Of the cast who ap-
paared in the earlier production of the
piece here, fulfilled all the requirements.Of
their respective parts in manner that
called forth the recognition and abundant
applause of the critica! assemblage.

lar Democratic nominee for assessor,
and, unless he can exculpatc himself, de-
serves to be remembered with reprobation
for his treachery, which happily failed to
accomplish anything but his own condem-
ration. In the Eighth ward the few Re-
publicans who went to the polls showed
their vindictive fact;ousness by cutting
and slashing their candidates for constable
and assessor.
On the whole it vas u good days work
for the Democrats and for the city. COun-
ellis are now divided, each party holding
one branch and thus preventing ill.con-
sidered partisan legislation, the Democratic
mayor holding the veto power. The city
is Democratic on joint ballot of councils.
as the Democratic majority in the city en-
titles it to be, and the present patronage
held by the Democracy will be retained
and increased by the election of q Demo-
cratic city treasurer and solicitor-greatly
to the relief of the troubled Republican fac
tions, no doubt, who would have had much
strife parting the raiment.
The Republicans gain in their minority
by the election Of some business and pro-
fessional men Of original, independent
views and good practical talents, whose
offices IN council if we'll exercised, ought to
be for the good Of the whole city, notably
such new gentlemen in the municipal leg
islature as Messrs. ShrOdsr and Middleton

GRAND JURY REPORT

CUMBERLAND, MD, April 10, 1881.
To tbs Honorable, the Judges Of the Circuit
Court for A,legany County,:
InE Grand Jury having attended to all
the matter trougLt before them, here
with hand you their report.
They have examined 1874 witnesses, rep
resunting As cases have found 20 indict-
ments, and dismissed 20 cases for want OF
evidence.
Many of the cases brought to their no.
tlce were of serious importance and re-
quired careful investigation, which con.
sumed great amount ol time.
From the knowledge before the Jury,
they are OF the opinion I! ut the present
liquor law Is very detective and is easily
evaded They therefore recommend to
the next Legislature OF Maryland that Il
law be passed making it a criminal offence
for any saloCn-keeper to allow MINOR to
drink in his house, and also Il criminal
offence for any other person to give or buy
liquor for minors and minors for falsely
stating their age. The also think a more
stringent Sunday liquor law should he
enacted. The great amount of Sabbath
drinking, and especially drinking among
lllluOl 10 oullibIGhb ~ Nittot Ill W every
person interested in the welfare OF society.
The grand jury call especial attention to
the bird law. In Il great measure the law
is dead letter. The officers OF the county
should be more dilligeLt in its enforce.
ment, They are sorry to state that some
OF the constables did not even know such
law is in existence. The destruction OF
birds is serious loss to the county, es-
pecially the farmers.
They find that some Of the constables
aid justices of the peace abuse their pow
ers in order to secure fees by arresting
and imp isoning persons, thereby adding
expense TO the county when there has
really heen no violation of the law. This
IS nm outrage.
They viited the Jail and found it in ex-
cellent condition. 1t contains 90 prison.
ers, who spoke in high terms of the man.
ner in which it is kept by Mr. Henry
Hanekamp and his deputies The find
the ventilation is not very good on the
low or floor and recommend to the county
commss. oners that door be cut at the
lower end of the corridors SO that afdl-
tional ventilation may be secured and de.
serving prisoners can have use of the Jail
yard.
They also visited the almshouse. It
contains 65 inmates; 80 males, 90 females
and 8 children. They made thorough
examination of this institution in all It's
departments and take pleasure in saying
the manner in which 1t is kept is not only
a credit TO Mr.. James Reid, the steward,
but to Allegany county He is deserving
of all praise.
They also find the court house well at
tended TO in all its departments.
The power being vested in the grand
jury by law, they herewith hand you the
names OF persons who they recomm. nd
shall not be granted liconse to sell liquor.
Having commpleted their labors they
now respectfully ask to be discharged.

Foreman.

THE LAND LEAGUE IN PEKIN

PEKIN, Md, April %, 1881
To the Editor of the JOURNAL:
/ concluded it would not be amiss
to inform you and the many readers
of your valuable paper Of what has
been transporting in Pekin valley dur
ing the past severe winter.
We formed a land league organiza-
ton here some four months ago and
about forty stslwart members joined
without hesitation. We have cent to
the suffering people of Ireland $25
per month up to the present time
our last meeting was held on the 10Th
inst, in the evening, the dues were
collected and a few short speeches
delivered by some of the members.
I was delighted and highly gratifed
in beholding our young Americans,
of Irish extraction, SO determined and
enthusiastic on the land league ques-
ton. hope they will all help TO
free that lrave, industrious, but starry
ing people from the cruel bondages
under which they have suffered over
700 years. Our Pekinites are united
like the Spartans of old-fearless and
unshaken-and resolved nsver to give
up the Irish barque while the irwin.
chile Parnell is at the helm-when
those landlords or human monsters
shall be driven across the Irish Chan
mel accompanied with their sheep
and bullocks, and the fertile land OF
Ireland shall be given to it's owners
for cultivation. Then, as in the days
of yore, there will be full and plenty
of her rich soils productions obtained
by the skill and industry Of its in
habitants when those hungry YAM
pires shall be exterminated from the
land never more to return.
We have also formed a debating
club. The subject tor debate at our
next meeting, which will be on the
