Patent OutsiGes.

We were asked a few days ago What was
meant by "paient outside" IA, applied to
newspapers, and We proceed to answer it
through the ADVOCATE, as Others may
desire TO know also. A patent outside
is a paper that has its first and fourth
pages printed at some printing establish
ment that makes business Of thus furnish
isg those papers that use them. The
printed paper costs but little" more than
the plain white paper, aud enables pub
fishers TO publish Journal at small cost
The office that furnishes them get part OF
heir pay by the advertisements that ap-
pear in them, very many of which are
humbugs. The inside pages second and
third-are printed at the office from which
the paper is issued, and these two pages
is all that the publisher has 10 edit and

nothing To do, and he never see. its con

Most of them contain two of three columns
of closely printed advertisements on the
fourth page, the picture of Lydia Pink
ham usually occupying a prominent place,
while many of the other advertisements
hold out great promises, such as SIT a

Several of our exchanges with ''pateni

are necessity in their sections, yet the
patronage is not sufficient to warrant the
outlay in employing cempositors and hav-

On Saturday Col. E. H Webster the new

the Treasury. DR.. William r. Wilmer,
successor of Mr.. William Cofkran as
naval officer, took possession of the Office
on Saturday and appointed Mr.. Corkran

any immediate changes. Mr.. d. w. Rudy,
the present deputy naval officer, will hold
that position until the appointment of Mr.

personal influences that induced them
We may naturally expect such ii policy to
weaken the republican party and render
it more easy to maihtain the ascendancy
in the State of the democratic party. Such
an expcc alton, however, is not likely to
be rea lied, if in our own city and state
the highest and most efficient officers
should be stricken down, including those
whose faithful administration has been
conspicuous in he reformatory and penal
institutions and in the collection and safe
keeping of the public treasure-S'a ate and
city-with no better or apparent reason
Than to make place for favorites whose
political fidelity and capacity have net
been lred and tested. 1t is to be hoped
that such will not be our experience, and
that those who have been elevated to the
chief seats of power will he loyal 10 the

The Boundary Question.

The controversy between Maryland and
Virginia as to their boundary lines in the
Potomac river, across the Chesapeake bay
and in Pocomoke sound, is almost as old
as the foundation of the two colonies
The early maps were confused and mac
curate; but careful discrimination re-
garding them, and q comparison of veneer
able and musty manuscripts and other
documents were absolutely essential to the
settlement of question that has steadily
increased in importance. After some in
efectual attempts to arrive at a mutually

agreement, the two States APP
poinred as arbl'rators Judged S. Black and
Mr.. Charles j. Jenkins, who made n re-
port two years ago; but the necessary
joint action to ratify it was prevented at
that time by the adjournment of the Vir-
ginia Legislature, and so the matter went
over until this year. Early in the present
session the General Assembly of Mary land
appointment a committee to confer upon
the subject with committee of the Vir-
ginia legislature; and, as announced on
Monday they have accepted in the main
the award of the arbitratprs, and bills
will be submitted at Richmond and at
Annapolis to carry its provisions into le-
gal effect. I'm ess some insuperable OBJ
lection is found to this compromise OF
conflicting claims, it will abolish con
slant source of irritation and of occasion
al danger to the harmonious re'ar ions of
the two States. The disputed water area
covers some prolific and valuable oyster
beds, upon which the opposing dredgers
have at times come into actual warfare
A few years ago a force of Virginians
raided some Maryland boats taking oys-
'ers in what was claimed to be the Virgi-
MIA side of the Pocomoke, burned the
boats and imprisoned the crews There
were sundry acts of reprisal on the part of
the Marylanders that undoubted spurred
up The efforts to fix upon compromise.
Inciden' ally, the agreement will tend to-
ward The preserva ion of the beds, as it
entirely forbids dredging in the Potomac
and the Pocomoke, leaving them open to
tongers and scrapers from October LIST 10
May list, and extending the season for the
Planting and bedding up to May 18th,
and including all of September. The ab
solutely close season is from May 18th to
September LIST; but the oysters may be ia
ken at any time for consumption within
the counties where they are caught. For
the purpose of securing more absolute
sontrol over violators of the laws, it is pro-
vided tina. Maryland and Virginia shall
have concurrent jurisdiction over these in
shore waters, and shall enect the neediul
legislation. This we regaId as one OF the
best features of the compact, for depreda
tors on the beds Of one State have been
able 20 evade its penalties by escaping in
to the waters of the other The details
of the plan are left to the legislatures OF
the two States, and as the session Of our
General Assembly is halt exhausted. there
should be no time lost in perfecting hem
Considering of what ancient date is this
controversy and how general is the opin-
ion that it shou now be brought to =
close, it would be very unfortunate if any
delay in the proceedings kept it open Tor
two years longer. The arbi rators were
men of impartial views and great ability,
and their decision is The outcome OF Ia
borious and intelligent invest gation. Ii
may no! suit all the dredgers. but this is
a matter in which higher considerat ons
than their convenience ought 10 rule.

W. A. Wright, indicted for soliciting a
bribe from John D. Watson at the April
term of court. was called yesterday morn

filled and the trial proceeded until this
morning. when the Prosecutor, after a
consultation with John ID. watson, an
nounced that he had never before con.
suited with Mr.. Watson, and as result
Of his conference, he had come to the
Conclusion that the State would be unable
to convict under the indictment. Hence.
under the instructions of the Court the
Jury returned verdict Of mot guilty
as to Wright. The case of Representa-
tive Bloch was called, and the bottom
dropped out by virtue of nolle.
