THE NIHILLSTS.

Cable dispatches report great success on
the part OF the Russian authorities in recent
discoveries of Nifiiistic conspiracy.
II the statements made are facts, they are
of II character that must be regarded as not
specially reassuring for the future The ex.
posures, briefly stated, crimnate six hun
dred and eighty persons, those holding ex-
ecutive positions in Nihilistic ranks en-
bracing men and women of prominence
among Russian officials, or In the social life
Of that country. Among them IL is said,
are the wife Of provincial governor, three
ladies who are land owners, the daughter
Of II general, u Jewish capitalist, u doctor,
wellknown author and ST. Petersburg
journalist. More bomb and dynamite fac
tories and secret printing offices have been
discovered.
1t is evident that large as this discovery
is in lis importance To the Russian govern
ment, it is only entering the outer fortifca.
iions of Nihilisni. What is beyond is alike
mysterious and dreaded. 1t can only bt
treated 10y its symptoms. One Of these is the
discovery Of much discomfort in the army,
and distrust OF officers, who are ordered
10 distant Posts TO destroy their power Ia
do mischief

DECLLNATION

The Board Of Public Works held meet
ing at Annapolis on Wednesday, and were
in session about three hours. The first bu-
siness of the meeting was to arrange for an
other meeting Of the Stockholders of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, to choose u
President in place Of Mr.. German, resigned,
and Mr.. Farnandis, declined. A copy of
the letter of Mr.. Farnandis, declining the
position was read. 1t is dated Belair, June
30, and addressed to BENZ. Fawcett, secre-
tary 10 Stockholders, &C., and is as follows:
"Your letter of the 28th instant notifying
me, by direction of Governor Hamilton,
chairman of the late meeting of stockhold-
ers, of my election as president of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Company, is just re-
ceived. Approaching the favor and conf
dence shown me by the tender of a position
of such importance, 1t is with regret | de.
cline the trust. Other duties and engage
ments which | cannot neglect would not
permit me TO give TO the affairs of the canal
the time and attention necessary for its
management. Please communicate to the
stockholders and TO Governor Hamilton this
answer, with the assurance of my respect
Very truly yours,

ITS OWN MORAL

The trial of the Malley boys and their fe,
male accomplice for the murder of Jennie
Cramer has resulted in verdict of not
guilty. When the prosecution laid its case
before the jury there was little doubt in the
public mind that they would be found guilty
in some one of the several degrees of the
violent death of this unfortunate girl. That
they are at the present moment morally re-
sponsibe for the sad ending of her life will
hardly be doubted.
The fine Scotch verdict that tells the truth
about person morally, though not lawfully
convicted of murder, is wanting in our jur.
isprudence. The English code, upon which
our own is modelled, is clumsy and intracta-
BILE. Itdoes not meet cases squarely. Con
sequently the two young men and their de-
PRAYED female friend have come forth from
the courtroom with verdict which plainly
proclaims that they were not guilty Of the
death of Jennie Cramer
Poor humanity, which tries to perfect its
operations, is silenced when the most nsig.
nificant work of nature is held before it,
Contrasted with the workmanship of the
commonest flower the criminal code of the
most enlightened nation, representing the
condensed wisdom of ages, is a miserable
accumulation of blunders Who doubts the
story that the District Attorney of New Ha-
ven told of Jennie Cramer last week, and
which has previously been given TO the pub
lie through the columns of the press and
yet the hapless victim of all this wckedness
and crime remains unavenged.
The sad fate of this poor, weak and un.
fortunate girl is net without moral Silence
and darkness overshadow that life which
points to the possibilities of u similar result
for those who are tempted as she was, and
who, like her, have not strength to resist
She had the fatal gift of beauty. She was
ambitious 10 cultivate associations with those
not in her own station in life. She was fond
OF excitement, and chaied under the admo.
nitions and restraint of her parents. Her
position In popular cigar store attracted
admirers, and she soon became gentle and
willing listner TO the dangerous seductions
OF hattery. Poor, misguided girl, doubtless
she thought she was incapable Of crime, i'm.
pregnable TO assault. The silvery voice of
the studied, heartless and licentious courtier
was music to her ears. The glittering sur.
roundings of her daily throng of fresh adj.
mires, like wolves that are hungering for
their banquet, sent thrill Of intoxicating
delight throughout her every vein. From
this dizzy height. from this dangerous pre-.
cpice, Jennie Cramer fell from the terrible
of this terrible fall-from its !
degradation, its despair,de alone appeared
10 offer an escape. There was reason for
murder, there was reason for suicide.

TO returning to the Bar, and long habit has

with greater ease and ability, and more ben.
efcial TO the public than al first.
Having been long isolated on the Bench
from minging with the masses of the people,
MS formerly, large sumbers of young men,
many of them sons of old friends, have grown
TO manhood, but with whom have no per-
sonal acquaintance, and without whose votes

opinion, us well as my own sense of proprely,
will not permit me TO canvass the county to

influence OF personal and political friends TO
secure my election.

Charles ]. Guiteau, who murdered Presi-
dent Garfield on July 2, 1881, was executed
on Friday last in the city Jail at Washing
ton, at 1910 p. M, in the presence OF about
two hundred and fifty spectators. The
"dying prayer" which he composed in the
last hours of his life, was read from the
scaffold. His body was delivered to com
mittee of physicians, who are expected to
arrive at some conclusion concerning the
assassins mental condition from an exami-
nation of the brain and other organs. His
conduct on the scaffold was in entire keep
ing with his whole career, and he died as
he lived, an inexplicable mystery.

A dispatch from Prince Frederick, Calvert
county, giving an account of the recent fire
at that place, says:
"Every record book, every docket, every
paper of any kind belonging to the clerks
office and office of the register of wills were
destroyed, and unless the clerk of the board
of commissioners has some of his books at
home, the same fate has overtaken the books
and papers of that body. In fact there has
been clean sweep of everything pertaining
TO the official and financial business of the
county, and there is not left in the village
even a room in which to resume business.
If the Governor of Maryland had not re-
fused to sign the bill for building new
courthouse we might have had before this
a fire-proof building, and to-day this further
and greater calamity would have been spared
the county"
II the veto power of the Governor is to be
used in this reckless manner the sooner the
Constitution is amended in this respect the
better for the people.

THE SIXTH DISTRICT.

We publish the subjoined extracts taken
from an exhaustive letter from Cumberland
TO the Washington Post of the 9th instant
in relation to politics in Maryland In re-
ferring TO our Congressional District the
writer observes:
"The nomination OF Montgomery Blair
for Congress this year would unite the dis
cordant elements OF the Democratic party
throughout the district, particularly in Mont
gomery and Allegany counties, and ensure
Democratic success AS far as we are now
advised there will be three candidates for
Congress voted for at the primaries, viz /.
Hon. Montgomery Blair and L. B. Pretty
man, OF Montgomery county, and Col. H.
kyd Douglas, of Washington county,
Neither Garrett nor Frederick will pre-
sent Il candidate unless il should be the
necessary dark horse" Judge Blair will
probably go into the convention with Gar
rett, Allegany and Montgomery counties.
in case he beats Mr.. Prettyman at the
primaries, and Colonel Douglas will have
the support OF his own county and also
Frederick, which will not bc sufficient to
elect him.
While Judge Blair is considered AN un.
swerying Democrat, he has not been identi-
neu WIN any ol the mctiOns IN the district
therefore he will get his full party vote
throughout the district, which of itself,
would be enough TO elect him; but, in ad-
dition, he will get considerable support
from the independent members of the op-
position party, who have already had enough

out 10 be the man he was supposed 10 be,
and who would not be likely to make any
better record in the next than be has in the
last two Congresses, his voice having been
but seldom heard upon any Of the import
ant questions before the present Congress.
Ia this community Judge Blair is known by
all classes as man Of undoubted integrity,
business capacity and forensic ability, and
If nominated and elected will make an eff !
Gent and able Congressman, with whom his |
constituents will be satisfied. II the Demo. |
Gratis are wise they will unite upon Judge

this time redeem the only Republican strong.

wide awake, and will make no mistake this

TO those who are at all conversant with
the history Of the case it will hardly be
questioned but that the safety of this girl
was at her home, no matter however hum
Bile it may have been. There she was under
the vigilance and restraint of those to whom
she was bound by every obligation Of honor
and every tic Of affection. This sad lesson
stands not by ITSELF This self-same warning
has come again and again, both TO parents
and daughters. The possibilities of evil are
augmenting under the graspings of our in
creasing population, and consequently a
stricter training, more careful watch, and
more determined restraint is required. The
lesson of this misguided girl may be profta-
bly, studied by the young and old. Those
who may do so cannot fail to observe the
moral it teaches.
Blanche Douglas, the sinful and SHINING
accomplice, finds her counterpart in those
palaces of prostitution, where few short
years of degraded sensuality is purchased
with death of misery and woe. Living
and breathing with her checks all SCARED
and blistered by the passion of the bronze
faced libertine, she may continue for time
to stain the current of society, or hiding in
the dreary obscurity of seclusion, she must
in either case anticipate that retribution
which will inevitably follow as the sequel of
her crime and shame.
Sustained by monied influences, surround
ed by relatives and friends, floating upon the
stream of excitement, or carousing amidst
scenes of debauchery, the Maley boys may
for while be able TO drown their guilty
conscience, but hotter than tlic.Ortures of
the damned will come the quenchless fires
of remorse. There is no crime greater than
that Of wrecking the virtue Of woman
There can be no punishment more terrible
and scathing than that which in the end it
must receive.
