UNJUST CRITICISM.

Guiteau's foolish and impairment conduct
during his trial has led to some unjust and
unkind reflections from the press upon Judge
Cox for permitting such state of affairs.
A little thought will show that Judge Cox
is envroned with much difficulty in the case
that, so far, he has conducted the trial with
singular discretion.
The constitutional right of the prisoner
TO be present in view of his triers is patent
Were the Judge to have Guiteau removed,
on account of the perversity of his conduct
and the impediments he is constantly max
ing, very good ground of exception might
be raised by the defense on the score Of a
palpable disregard for the requirements of
law. This Guiteau seemed to be aware Of
himself, when he told the Judge to his face
that he had no right to have him removed
Judge Cox appears TO have come to the same
conclusion, and the half-cracked, blatant
wretch is permitted, by virtue of his inner
cnt privilege under the constitution, TO re-
tain his position and fire off his broadsides
of egotistical and impertinent defense.
1t has been suggested that the spirit of
the law might be kept, and Guiteau reduced
to quiescence by gagging him and tying him
in his seat. But apart from the inherent in
humanity of such treatment, its infection
would certainly work powerfully upon the
sympathetic feelings of the jury and the
public, and would unduly influence the ver-
diat The Judge. therefore. has concluded
that what cannot be cured must be endured.
And SO Guiteau enjoys his constitutional
rights, including the privilege of offensive
ejaculation and Ishmaeitish course of be-
havior. We see no alternative TO this, UNI
less it be withdrawal of the case and the
submission of Guiteau TO the tender mer-
cies of a commission de tunaticO inguirendo
Should he in such case be found insane,
he would be locked up in an asylum. If
not, the fangs of the law would again be
fastened upon him.

Independents and Republicans.

Mr. Editor There is great deal of cant
in some Of the Republican papers about a
coalition between the Independents and Re-
publicans, next month, at Annapolis, for GER
tain purposes, namely, TO secure certain pa
tronage, and it is freely spoken that Gov.
Hamilton favors this combination, but as
yet no certain distribution of the spoils has
been agreed upon. In some of these arti-
cles it is said that the two Democrats elected
from this county will join this combination
to defeat the ring
Now, Mr.. Editor, our county does not de-
sire any Mahoneism, and if not mistaken in
these two delegates they are far from desir-
ing such an unenviable position. These state
ments that our delegates are Hamilton men,
does great injustice to them. They are Dem
ocrats, elected as such, claim to be such, and
feel assured will never disgrace themselves
or their county by entering into any combi-
nation to build up the Republican party TO
the destruction of their own. | agree with
the american that Gov. Hamilton is respon-
sible for the defeat of Il number of the Demo
cratic candidates in the last election, but of
this they should not complain. The Gov
ernor's own heart only knows the bitter dis
appointments TO which he has been sub
jected. In the first place he expected to run
the whole State without the aid of even a
legislature, and cut off all expenses except
his own salary and a trifle additional. In
the next place his anticipations OF public
patronage have been greatly threatened, and
every time he looks on the old canal and
thinks how much he has lost in not dis
tributing that patronage, it is to HIM great
source of irritation. The daily Baltimore
american constantly aggravates this sore,
and Sundays paper especially comes with
healing poutice for his wounds, by telling
him how to run the machine SO he may yet
have if but parting taste of his contem-
plated rights and powers.
Democrats of this county have had about
enough Of this food. If it is the doctrine OF
the Hamilton party to defeat Democrats for
the purpose of effecting coalitions with Re-
publicans to control patronage, let it be
known at once and for all time that such
Democracy cannot command the respect
support or esteem of the true Democrats OF
this county.
We confess there are few men in our
county who believe that Gov. Hamilton is
the body, soul and life of the Democratic
party, and few Of the other party think
likewise Of Conkling and Grant, but then
you know there are always cranks, and this
seems to be a propitious age for such.

Rev. DR.. Leavitt, President of st. Johns
College, Annapolis, Nd, was in this town
several days the early part of this week, en-
listing the interest of the people in a pro-
posed change in the educational conduct Of
the college. The college is an old .one and
its only aim has been to impart a classical
education. The Doctors idea is to have the
legislature appropriate $4,000 and there
with establish technical department, where
by boy will receive an education in civil,
mining and mechanical engineering, and q
practical education generally. In this tech
nical department they will work SO many
hours day under skilled men. The arti-
clcs wrought out will be put upon the
market to sustain the school. Instead of
tuition being given to few scholars free, as
is now the case, free tuition will be given to
all who may pass an examination. The
Doctor informs us that one hundred and
fifty boys would be admitted at the start,
and so many annually thereafter, which
number has not yet been settled upon.

CHIPS FROM THE CAPITOL.
CORRESPONDENTS OF THE SENTINEL

The hustle, excitement, speculation and
prediction always incident upon the organ
ization of a new Congress, has subsidized.
The contest for the Speakership was a long
and animated one. This Office has very
generally been regarded as an important
one, and the man selected for the position
should possess the highest order of ability.
Not only should he be strong, able poiti-
cal chief, but he should have had experience
in legislative bodies, and the ability to think
and act quickly, and exercise celebrate iudg.
ment at all times and under all circum-
stances. In every respect he should be abler
than his party colleagues. In the selection
of Mr.. Keller, of Ohio II is matter of very
grave doubt whether he will be equal to the
emergencies which ever attend the duties of
the office. He is a gentleman of fair talent
and ability and some experience as men,
Der, but he has never been at all conspicu-
GUS as q parliamentaran or as a party lead.
err. Mr.. Refers election is regarded as a
triumph of the Stalwarts.
Mr.. Mcpherson, for so many years Clerk
of the House under Republican rule comes
gracefully and easily to his old position, as
does Charley Sherwood, of Michigan. TO the
Postmastership. Hooker, of Vermont, sue
ceeds Thompson, of Ohio, as Seargent-at-
Arms, and Brownlow, of Tennessee, son of
ex-United States Senator and ex-Parson
Brownlow, n man II is said of bitter feeling,
takes the place OF Gen. Field, of Georgia, as
Doorkeeper. The election of the Rev. Mr..
Power, OF the Christian church, as Chaplain,
is regarded more 10 the light of a compli.
ment TO the memory OF the late President
Garfield than TO any claim or merit that this
gentleman may possess.
With the election Of the chief officers of
the House comes the usual swarm of appli.
cants for the minor places, and their name
Is legion. Never since the foundation stone
OF the Capitol was laid has there been such
an army of hungry and persistent Office.

THE SEN TINEI.
ROCKVILLE, MD
Friday Morning =. December 8, 1881.

The committee appointed by the late
Democratic State convention to take into
consideration the matter of new registra-
ton law for the State has been requested by
the Hon. A. P. German, chairman of the
Democratic State central committee, to meet
in Baltimore City on Monday next, Decem-
Der IL. The committee consists OF Hon.
VIM. T. Hamilton, Hon. S. T. Wallis, Hon.
c. J. NJ Gwinn, Hon. Charles b. Roberts
and Hon. Henry d. Farnandis. Although
it is generally understood that the matter
has received some attention, informally, from
the members of the committee, and that
several drafts of the proposed bill have been
made, this is the first formal meeting that
has been called to consider the matter. Its
importance is, of course, generally recog-
nized, and the subject will have the most
careful consideration.

Few Of the farmers Of this coun-
try are aware what a debt of graft
tude the5ye George Washington
for The introduction of mules into
general use for the purposes Of tie
farm, Previous to 1888 there were
very few,, and those of such an,
inferior order as to prejudice far
mers against them as unfit to com
pete with horses in work upon the
road or. farm. consequently there
we're oa jacks, and no disposition to
increase the stock; but Washington
became convinced that the intro
dnction Of mules generally among
southern planters would prove q
blassing,sas they are less liable to
disease, !" longer lived, work on
shorter feed, and are much less
liable 10 be injured by careless farm
hands than. are horses. l..,-.. :~. ;
Is soon as it became known that
the Mns@ions Washington desired
to stock his hit. Vernon estate with
mules, Che King Of Spain sent him
jack and two jennets from the
royal stables; and 3Iafsyeste sent
him another jack and jennet from
the island OF Mslts. The first was
of s gray color, sixteen hands high,
heavily made and Of a sluggish ma
ture; be was named Royal Gift.
The other was called Knight Of
Malta; he was sbsdt as high as the
frst, but fiery even to 6erocity.
Tine ssso different sets Of animals
gave him most -fsvorable results,
and an opIortuaity Of making
improvements-Sby cross breeding,
from which came the jack Com
pound, SO called because he
paytook of the best points in
both originals. He then bred his
blood mares to these jacks, as well
as crossing them on mares used to
his family ooach, and produced
such excellent mules that the coun-
try was agog to breed some Of the
same sort and it was not long be-
fore they were common. This was
the origin of improved mules IN
the United States <...-.
Though seventy years have pass
ed, there are now some OF the
third and fourth generations OF
knight of Malta and Royal Gift to
5 be found in Virginia, and the great
benefits arising from their intro
ducsion into the eoantry are to be
) seen upon every cultivated acre IN
the southern states.-Er.

Chickens which, from natural
disposition, or from being kept on
food too stimulating IN its charsc-

are generally stunted in growth
and, consequently, never become the
fine large birds so desirable for the
table or the market.
