Banquet to Gov. Hamilton.

II has been announced for week or two
past that banquet is to be rendered to Gov.
Hamilton in the near future by the Demo
Gratis from the state at large, and tina, Mr..
Tilden aud senators Bayard, Voorhees,, Hamp-
ton, Vance and Ransom and Representatives
Blackburn and Tucker are to be present
That few O. L. Ds. in Baltimore, and few
from the counties, may give banquet TO the
Governor, is quite probable, hut no one viii
consider that It Is n banquet by the Demo
Gratis Of the state At lsrge." These o. l.. Ds.
represent nothing. They arc not good Dem
Gratis. aud the bond Of union among them is a
common disappointment disappointment IN
that they were no; continued in office when
other men, as good Democrats and just as
efficient. we're gwen some recognition by the
party. They have started ona crusade tooust
the present leaders aud install themselves IN
Office, and they are clinging to Governor Ham
ilton TO give themselves standing and infn-
encc. The Governor can help them little,
And very little, for It Is only his position as
Governor that keeps him up. When his term
expires, be viii retire ,oa privacy from which
he viii not soon be called BY the Democratic
party either Of his county or state.
The attempt Of the @. l.. Ds. 10 give further
Importance to their movement. Is the invita-
ton TO be extended to the prominent Demo
Gratis above mentioned. They, however, vii
not BE- deceived. The Senators and Reprc-
sentatives will nes likely attend a political
gathering IN Maryland to which Maryland
senators and Representative have no; been
invited. Mr.. Tilden, too. Is not likely to be
deceived. He Is a. well posted on their Cd
jects and aims as they are, and will neither
attend nor write them letter that will give
them Az comfort Mr.. Tilden IS prominent
for the next Democratic nomination for Pres
ideHt. He is, beyond doubt. the stronges,
man in the party, and the best qualified man,
all things considered. in any party for the
Presidency. ifthese q. l.. lbs. are friendly
to Mr.. Tilden nomination, they will not seek
20 destroy him ly inviting him 90 their little
factional supper; nj any rate Mr.. Tilden will
neither attend nor lend his eoanfenance.

Republicanism And Temperance.

Etola he Port Tobacco IHslspeA,ieaf
The Republican leaders have always made
il a boast that ihoirs was n party of great
moral ideas like the PhariseeS Of old, they
were thankful they had not vices as other
faen, they neither had plantation manners"
nor were drunkards or gamblers. But the
St Louis RepHJiicaa, Democratic paper, BY
the way, has instituted curious comparison.
Taking the returns of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue it finds that the total number
of saloons is l70,640 in population of So
155, T33, and taking the country over there is
one saloon TO every pa people. The RepuJ.
iiGdR next separates the states that voted the
Republican ticket from those that voted the
Democratic ticket, and finds that in the Gar
field states there Is one saloon for ever 2dQ
persons, whilst IN the Hancock states there IS
but one saloon for every $50 people. From
this it would seem that there Is very nearly
twice as much liquor drunk in the Republican
states as in the Democratic.
Ii appears that the Southern states show a
much smaller ratio to the Northern and West
ern states, even if the negroes were left en-
tirely out Of the question and the saloons were
all credited to the whites alone. As a matter
of fact Massachusetts,, prohibition state, has
more saloons in proportion to population than
Missouri, where il was supposed to be always
en- regle to take drink. Il ia curious to note
that IN saehnsetas. q molel slate, where
the liquor laE is supposed 70 he Vigorously
enforced, there are no less than 1873 retail
stores and saloons where liquor IL sold more
or less openly. From this il would seem that
liquor drinking thriyes most under the shadow
of prohibition, pretended morality and Re.
pnblieanism.

Call an Extra Session.

The sickness Of Governor Hamilton during
the latter part of the session ofthe Legislature
and the illness Of Speaker Kcilholtz now, ron
der anEcxtrst session of tho Legislature ncccs
sary Wheu the Legislature adjourned, over
two hundred acts were unsigned by the Gov
ernor. Section 30, article 3, of the constitu-
ton requires the presence of the presiding
officers and chief clerks Of the two houses of
the General Assembly when the Governor
signs bills. After the adjournment of the
Legislature Governor Hamilton went to Ha-
gerStown 10 recruit his health, and by agree
menI the Governor, presiding officers and
chief clerks were TO have met at Annap-
oils last Monday to finish the business of the
Legislature. When the time rolled around,
Mr.. Keilholtz was confined to his house by
sickness and could not attend. He was SO ill
that the Governor and others could not go to
his house and sign the bills there, and his con-
diaion is now critical, being afflicted with in
lanamatory rheumatism complicated with
Bright's disease. The probabilities are that
il he RECEIVERS at all, it viii be several weeks
before he could witness the Governors sigma
ture, and in the meantime public interests are
suffering. A bill of considerable importance
to Westminster is unsigned, and unless signed
next week will be of no value at all. It's the
water bill, and it provides for an election on
the first of May, 1882, and at no other time,
and lift is not signed in time to permit the
people to vote under its provisions on the
question of water, it must be postponed for
two years, until another Legislature shall au-
thorize them by the passage of an act This
Is but one complication. There are many
others, and among the unsigned bills are the
ones making appropriations for carrying on the
state government.
Gov. Hamilton, of course, could not foresee
Mr. Keilholtz's illness. but he should have
remained at Annapolis after the adjournment
aud finished the business Of the session. He
was better then than be had been for FIVE or
six weeks previous. and could have done all
that was required in four or FIVE days. There
Saw seems no remedy but for the Governor to
cali an extra session of the Legislature, and for
the Mouse to choose Speaker in the place
of Mr. Keilholtz, who could act with the Other
officers and be present at the signing Of the
bills. The Legislature could be convened in
FIVE days, and one days session only would
be required

Cant. Howgate's Escape,

Captain Henry W. Hovgta was once con
nected with the United States Signal Service.
Seme six months or more ago he was arrested
andimprisoneda at Washington upenthe charge
Of embezzIement and forgery, and for which
fhere were several indictments against him.
Judge Cox, who presided at the Guiteau cir
Gus, ON New Years Day, permitted Captain
Howgate to 60 to bis residence 10 Washington
and hold reception. Since then he has sew
erai times been permitted to leave the jail and
visit his family. Judge WyEe granted this
privilege ON Thursday Of last week Howgate
had an officer with him, but at bis residence
be told the officer lie wanted TO 90 10 another
room for few moments. and since then he
has not been heard Of,
If Howgate had been charged with stealing
a pair of boots. or hog, or sheep, he never
woaId haze been permitted to leave the jail
Az he was IN respectable standing prior to
these accusations, aud as he stole thousands
If dollars instead of some trifing article, he
vas trented with this unasusl and improper
eonsideratisu. Since Howgats has escaped,
il would be proper. If it could be done, q
make Judge Mvlie take us place, stand the
trial ansler the indictments, and suffer al| the
punishment that wonld have been imposed
upon Hewgate.

Pardon of the Ford Brothers.


Jesse James was the leader of gang of
robbers, murderers and despcradoes whose
exploits of daring and cruelty, hate been un-
equalled, perhaps, in this or any other cOun-
try. Their operations extended over several
states, their robberies yielded S263,77 and
the murders they committed DIRE numbered
by the score. They operated chiefly in Mis-
souri,, and such terror they became that
large rewards were offered for their capture,
by railroads, corporations, counties, city and
state authorities. Detectives and officers were
shot down wherever they were seen, and the
gang shot their own men whenever suspected
of treachery. The band was finally broken
up, and only Jesse James, the chief leader,
was left. Two of his associates were engaged
by Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, to capture
James. They were on his track for some
time, and finally entered an arrangement with
him to rob bank They watched James,
closely, and at last, despairing of capturing
him alive, shot him down in cold blood in his
own house, in an unguarded moment, when he
laid his pistols aside to hang up some pictures.
His murderers were two brothers named Ford.
They were arrested, and on Monday we're in
dicted by the grand jury for murder in the first
degree, at st. Joseph, were brought into court,
plead guilty and sentenced to be hanged on
Nav 10Th. The same day Governor Critten-
den granted them unconditional pardon.
For this action Gov. Crittenden has beer

only, but because he justified the killing and
had instructed the Ford brothers to capture
Jesse James dead or alive. Gov. Critten-
den thus acted as much the outlaw as did
James. That James was desperate, robber
and murderer, was no excuse for the Cover
nor Kidding the people of his presence in such
an uneeremonious and murderous way. Had
he been ten times worse, he was entitled to
fair and impartial trials as much so as any man
in the state. Under the law James was en-
titled to be hung, but he first should have
been captured, indicted and tried.
We have no sympathy, however, with the
sentimentalism developed in this matter. A
great uproar has been raised in Missouri over
the killing of James, and he Is being mar
tyrized everywhere subscriptions are being
raised for his widow and children, and gush
is being spent on them as was spent on "Bei-
tie and the Baby, the wife and child of Ser
geant Mason, the United States Soldier who
attempted to murder Guiteau.
What class of citizens is raising this up
roar it is not stated, but it certainly cannot
be the law abiding and intelligent people.
While the people of Missouri must denounee
the action Of Gov. Crittenden, they cannot but
feel sense Of relief and rejoice that Jesse
James Is removed from among them never to

Maeveagh speaks his Mind.

Hon Wasas NaeNeagh. who was attorney
General uader Garfield, has become outspoken
against the Arthur administration. In speech
before the Civil Service Reform AssDe'aiion
OF Philadelphia hast week be said
What Arthur was in the New York custom
house, he is to-day in the Presidents chair.
Personally he is kindly, well-disposed gen
tleman, and my intercourse with him was OF
the pleasantest character, as il was with Mr..
HAYES; but men rarely change their political
trainiax after arriving at the age either gen
tleHan bps stiaiged. My party leaves me in
this prediea;pent-i has but three principles,
and i snd Myself opposed 70 all three. Its
first great principle is the spoils system; the
second is opposition 10 civil service reform.
and the third seems to consist OF repWdiaunn
in old Virginia Then the boss system il q
degradation; it goes from the gutter To the
White House. 1t subsists on the spoils of
Office. The duty of the association and of the
country is 10 supplant these bosses; until that
is done your work win not be executed. You
aannot pretend 10 be interested in the degrad-
ing spectacle Of MahOneism in Virginia; the
deliberate prostitution of government powers
to aid reputation of a states obligations. 1t
we could charge that upon Bourbon Demo
erais II would be sose relief, but to our sor-
row and humiliation, these things are done ia
the name of the party of abraham Lincoln.
Instead of going forward, the Arthur admins.
tration makes retrOgrade movement.

Robbing the People.

The committee to audit tae expenses of the
illness and burial of President Garfield have
agreed upon the following sums to be paid TO
the physicians and nurses-Dr. Bliss 81, goo.
DIR. Hamilton $4,000, DIR. Agnew $4,000.
Drs. Reyburn aud Boynton each $4,000,
Mrs. Edison $4,000 aud Mr.. Cramp Ss,Oo0.
These charges are but little less than robbery,
and ought not TO be paid. The President was
i'll eighty DAYS, we believe, and all must con-
cede thas sfIese bills are enormously extrava-
giant Drs. Agnew and Hamilton were not
with the President more than fifteen days, and
their regular practice did not suffer much from
their absence, as they were not absent more
than a day or tSo At time. Because Mr..
Garfield was President, and the money comes
from the public treasury, is no excuse for
charging such fees, and such fees would not
hase been Thought of had Mr.. Garfield been
only congressman or private citizen. In
that ease 500 per day woald haze been re
garied high. The charges Of all are about
three times as much a. they should BE-.
On the subject Of these extravaganza, the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Sna says:
Compared with the bills for attendance on
NJ. Seward and his son when they we're mur-
derously attacked by the assassin Payne, these
charges are simply monstroas, and cannot be
justified by any scale recognized as Just by the
profession. And when II Is remembered that
every diagnosis in the ease was shown TO be
erroneous By the autopsy, aud that the patient
was treated from the FIRST TO last upon false
theories, this enormous demand appears all
the more nnjustiiiahic.
The committee has already paid one bill 81.

Local Option in Maryland.

During the session of the late Legislature
seven counties obtained local option laws to
vote on prohibition of the sale of liquor, and
direct prohibition has been ordered in a
number of localities. The act for Howard
county provides for an election December ),
1882, to determine whether spirituous, fer
mented or Intoxicating liquors or alcoholic
bitters shall be sold The vote is to be by the
district system; that is, each district deciding its
own case. If carried it goes into effect May
LIST, 1888. The Anne Arundel local option
vote is not to he by districts. but by the entire
county, aud takes place the first Monday in
December, the law to go into effect on May !,
1888, if SO decided by majority of all the
voters of the county. For Queen Anne's coun-
ty, districts Nos. =. 3, and are to vote on the
question on November II, each district to de-
eide for itself, and the prohibition to go into
effect on May /, 1888, if the majority decide
so. The Hartford county local option vote is
for the entire county, and not ON the district
system. The election is to be held April 10,
1882. and if local option prevails it goes into
effect August l, 1882. Worcester county dis
