Annapolis Notes.

1t is said that the Governor will not sign
the bill aholishing compulsory inspection of
tobacco.
The Senate went into executive session
at half past ten O'Clock, last Saturday night,
and remained with closed doors until mid
night. They unanimously rejected the Gov
House of Correction, along with other nomina-
tions and confirmed number of appointments,
including all the Hartford county registers, ex-
cept George ii. Boyd, OF llavre de Grace. OF
this the correspondent of the Baltimore S.n
says:
"lhc Hartford county list caused the prolonged
session. The committee on executive nomina-
tions reported uniavorGbly on Boyd, who was
charged with having left the Democratic party
last fall and canvasSed the county for Allen and
Baker. Republicans, against Stump and Nandi-
YER President Williams led off in a speech
against making office the reward for political
treachery, and nearly every one in the room
said something for or against Boyd, who was
rejected by 10 to s. The discussion elected the
fact that not only Boyd, but Others rejected by
the Senate, have been turned down for going
outside of party lines to make a fight for office,
Republican Senators voting at times to sustain
this principle on Democratic nominees
1t is stated on good authority that Mr.. Boyd
last fall supported Mr.. Stump and the entire
Democratic ticket, with the exception OF Mr.
Nandiver.

The New FERTILIZER LAw.-The law to
regulate the sale OF commercial fertilizers and
bone dust in Hartford county, which was
published in The HgiS of March 18th, passed
the Senate during its closing hours. 1t is
expected that it will be of great value to far
mers, in protecting them from being imposed
upon by worthless compounds purporting to
contain valuable fertilizing elements. The
chief object of the law is to compel manufac-
turcrs to make the articles they sell cores
pond with the analysis they give. Under
the law dealers in fertilizers will be Obliged

A National Bank for Hartford.

The absence of a bank in Hartford county
has long been an inconvenience to farmers
and business men, rs well rs q reproach to q
community as prosperous and enterprisng
as ours The Deer Creek Farmers Club, be.
lieVing that the right way to start n thing is
to start it, at their meeting last Saturday con-
cluded to make vigorous effort for the es.
tablishment of II national bank in Hartford
county.
The necessity for Il bank and the advant.
age it would be to the county were discussed,
and what was more to the point the members
present expressed their willingness to invest
at least $4,000 in the enterprise. This
amount, it is true, will not go far towards
establishing national bank with capital OF
100000, as is proposed, but it is an evidence
of the deep interest felt in the subject by the
farmers present.
Erch member of the club was constituted
a committee of one to ascertain how much
money for the purpose could be raised in
his own neighborhood. BY the time OF
the next meeting ofthe club it is expected
that the project will have assumed more de-
finite shape.
| \ number OF the members of the Bel Air
bar have expressed willingness to aid the
farmers i'll this matter, and it is also believed
that considerable amount of the capital
stock will be subscribed in Baltimore city.
No better opening for national bank ex.
lists anywhere than here in Hartford county
Our canning, cattle and other business inter.
ests are assuming large proportions and
banking facilities are absolutely needed.
The Deer Creek Club is not disposed to let
Il project fail, when they have once started it
and their efforts heinG in the direction ofthG
general good and prosperity of the entire
county, should he warmly aided by every
public spirited citizen of the county who can
