Notwithstanding the bad temper in
which his production is conceived and
the questionable Taste in which It is ex-
pressed, we cannot forbear to admire the
tact OF our eminent critic, when he alludes
to the little faction that works upon the
ignorance and prejudices of the poor ne
gro IN order to array him into hostile
and most unnatural antagonisn to his en-
ployer and own true interests, as men
who arc not Democrats" Verify this lit
tie faction, which includes our powerful
critic, is an anomaly in politics, and they
are, with good tact. ck.ssed as political
nondescripts.
Now If we are to be sacrificed as help
less victim on the altar of the Bryantown
scientists wrath, We suppose we must
submit to the inscrutable will of an All
Wise Providence; but for conscience sake
don't let him adopt such 9imsy pretext
as the above item as an excuse for cunning
his ponderous sentences loose upon u.s.
1t cannot be that the great scholar, critic
and philan hropist of Bryantown, has, like
the voracious wolfe of the fable, first re
solved to devour US, and then gone look
ing about for an excuse for doing so. But
it looks very much that way, don't it:

A HyperCritical Critic.

We have been asked to call attention TO the
condition Of the public road between La Plata
and Bryantown. The loose dirt that has been
thrown into the mud holes by the road corps
has, by the recent rains, been turned into a
perfect lob-lolly, and travel over it is made
with the utmost difficulty. This is a source OF
much Inconvenience TO persons attending court
from that section,
The above item appeared in the TINES
of May 10th. 1t seems difficult to US to
see anything in this item to excite the
wrath or evoke the criticism of any well
regulated mind yet it seems to have call
ed forth some extended and ill-natured
structures from voluble and hypercritical
a. s. 8. anonymous squid scribbler), who
aired himself in the last issue Of our neigh
Dor, the Independent. 1t is not usual for the
TINES to notice the squibs of anonymous
scribblers- The only apology we have to
offer our readers for doing so now, is that
we have satisfactory evidence of the iden-
tity of the individual who exposes his
bad temper and bad judgment over the
signature of"Fair Play" know him to be
good authority upon mud holes, and have
not much else Of importance to engage
our attention at present.
Our critic and a. s. 8. alludes to US as
as the redoubtable hero Of the PoRT To-
BAcco TINES, and, after sharply CRITICS.
ing US Gas he thinks) concludes by assum-
ing that we "are diverted from a proper
presentation Of this case, whilst simply
laboring under the conviction that the
supervisor is Republican, and appointed
to Office by men..who are not Democrats :"
Those who recollect how we strained our
conscience to speak commercially Of the
work recently done at snairs pace and
in very imperfect manner at Rose Hill,
will see how unjust is this accusation on
the part OF our hypercritical critic and a.
8. 8. If to freely express opinions con-
corning public men and measures is to be
"a redoubtable hero" then the TIMEs's
editor will notwithstanding the structures
Of our hypercritical critic continue to be
such, or endeavor 80 to be. Whatever
may be said of US as ga hero" however, it
will be admitted, we think, even by Bry-
antown's eminent man ofscience, that our
heroism has been always limited to light
comedy, and that we have never essayed
to play the role in heavy tragedy.
1t was really unkind in the eminent
scholar and critic to humiliate US by re-
miding US of the natural and necessary
fact" that "the TINES is a very inefficient

Tuesday last. Nay s1st, was Union
Memorial Day, or Decoration Day as it is
usually call from the fact that it is the
day set apart for the decoration Of the
graves of the soldiers who fell in the late
war. 1t was observed this year more gen.
orally throughout the country than ever
before, especially in the New England
States. One of the features in New York
was an address by Col. Ingersoll. Mr..
Blaine spoke at Gettysburg. In New Or
leans ex-Confederates furnished the flow
ers. In Baltimore no central demonstra-
ton took place, though the Grand Army
posts attended faithfully to the duty Of
strewing flowers on the graves OF soldiers
in all the cemeteries. Throughout the
State of Maryland, and especially on the
battlefield of Antietam, the demonstrations
were large and imposing.

Mr.. Moore, one of the Republican men,
bers of the House of Representatives from
Tennese, has, ever since his appearance in
the House, been essaying the difficult task
of rivaling the scalawagism of Gen. Ma

as he possesses neither the brains Of the
Readjuster nor his more potential instru-
ment-money. Though an ex-Conieder-

blushing audacity to attempt to to twit

At an early hour on Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Francis A. Provost, the clerk of the
Superior Court of Baltimore, attempted
suicide at his residence in that city. His
wife had but left the room for few min
Etes, and on her return found Mr.. Provost
living on the bed with his abdomen cut
open by a razor. The cause OF the act
was mental depression, brought on by ex-
cessive overwork. His chances of recov-
ery are poor.

The most outrageous and disgraceful
act that ever perpetrated by any Speaker
of the House of Representatives since the
foundation of our Government, was done
on Monday last by Speaker Kiefer in utter
violation of law and the rules of Congress
to enact new rule which turned Dibble
out of that body and gave his seat to the
notorious Mackey. For such base and dis
honorable conduct Kiefer, who was never
fit for the place, should be at once i'm
peachcd and turned out of Office.

The average "stalwart" does not speak

The average "stalwart" does not speak
so enthusiastically of "liberal movements
now. So long as these "liberal movements
only tended to "liberalize" the ''solid
South to the probable advantage Of the
northern ''stalwarts," though at the ex-
pense Of Southern honor and credit, then
it was all very fine; but now that the
s'liberal movements" are going to "liberal-
ize" Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and
other northern hotbeds of Republican in
tolerance, liberal movements" don't ap-
pear so liberal in the eyes of the at
frighted "stalwarts."

The Senate Committee on Agriculture
is determined that, so far as possible, the
proposed new department OF the Govern
ment shall be kept free of politics. The
President will, of course, select for the
Secretary OF Agriculture in his Cabinet
some man of his own political faith, and
so with the heads of the several bureaus :;
but all other employees, as suggested by
the Senate amendments to the House bill
must be selected Independent of their par
ty affiliations and with particular refer
ence to their experiences in the different
divisions to which they may be assigned.
We would respectfully suggest to the Sen
ate Committee further amendment, as
proper and supplemental to the foregoing,
that Jay Hubbell's campaign circulars be
vigorously excluded from the Agricultu-
raj Department. Nothing less will assure
it the dignity which appertains to strict
non-partisanship.-Wash. Post.

ant. Mr.. Barrow is the Republican State
Senator for Washington county and Mr..
Negley is deputy United States treasurer
at the Custom House in Baltimore and the
editor and proprietor of the Herald and

Hagerstown. In February last, during
the session Of the Legislature, the Herald
and Torch charged Senator Farrow with
having voted for the Democratic candi-
date at the election for State treasurer and
with being Influenced in his vote by i'm

The case was given to thejury on Monday
