over the spirit of the Calvert statesman's
dreams; and he now claims to have dis

very odious, and the whole State system
is very Objectionable. He has now, We
are informed, accepted a substitute for his

claims exultingly that the compulsory in
spections are at all events doomed, but

constitution as investing the Governor
with the power of appointing tobacco in
spectors, and says that any law centem
plating any other mode of appointment
would be unconstitutional, and would
either receive the executive veto or be pro.
nounced invalid by the Court of Appeals
The Republican party is poor school in
which to learn constitutional principles,
because it lifts itself always so high above
such documents as to get but birds eye

organ of that faction is "a little off, N its
learned observations upon this point. The

article 2, and provides that he shall nom

appointment and election is not otherwise
therein provided for, sunless different
mode Of appointment be prescribed by the hu

on all sides that the Legislature has the
power to repeal the whole system, it is
obvious that they can re-enact it so as to
have the officers appointed in different
way.
While not Objectionable on the ground
of its unconstitutionality, the proposed
measure is, however, dangerous and fri
volous tampering with an important pub
lie service, and fraught with great detri-
ment to the interests of the tobacco grow
ers of the State, and it is to be hoped will
not become law. Its whole object seems
to be to forestall the Governor in his ef-

The sCOmpuisory Feature"

The So,ons at Annapolis are still exer-
ercising themselves on the tobacco inspec-
ton laws, and tits now said by the Bal
timore buyers and other opponents OF the
State system of inspection that the com
pulsory feature" like the Chinese, unjust

Sydney E. Mudd, able representative from
this county, some time ago introduced in
to the House two bills on the subject-one
providing for the total adjustment Of the
system, the sale of the warehouses and the
turning of the proceeds into the treasury ;
and the other striking out the much talked
about and little understood compulsory
feature" and to leave the law in other res
poets unaltered. The readers of the TIMES
will, also, remember that Senator Bond
of Calvert county, who has been generally
regarded as the accredited representative
of The planting interest upon this ques-
ton, introduced into the Senate, in the
early part of the session, a bill making
many judicious regulations as to the mode
of sampling looking to the promotion Of
the efficiency of Sta'e inspections, provid

nations, and giving liberty to tobacco

When these bills were introduced, thu

thought Mr. Mudd's bills were both objec
tionab,e. The first because it contempla
ted the adjustment of necessary public
service Of vital Importance to the people
of our county, and the turning into the
treasury of the State large amount o
money, prohibited by the Federal consti

that he regarded any further interference

any more radical changes in the system, a

Walker, of that place, has finally con.

from this State. and taking up his

in the State of Virginia. If this be
SO, our State will lose an active, in.
