ID EPORT OFTH GRAND JURY.
ON THE
CONDITION OF TIE ALMSHOUSE AND


10 he lion. JHdge WATERS:
The Grand Jury beg leave to make the follow
ing report
We have been in session thirteen days; have
examined one hundred witnesses; made ~ pre-
sentiments and found twenty-five true bills and
dismissed thirteen eases. either for want of suili-
cicnt evidence or too triiling Il character
Visited tho Alnlshousc and found everything
in good shape, which speaks well for the over
seer. The sanitary condition of the different
buildings seemed TO he excellent, which speaks
well for the Physician Their. are eleven male
twelve females in the different buildings.
We think 1t would be advisable for the county
authorities To see If it would not be practicable
idea to build another house to keep our insane in
instead of being ut the expense Of sending them
out of the county.
Also visited the Jail and found it in as comfort
able condition as its limited arrangements will
allow. There should be a railing put up at the
head of the steps, and the cells should be sup
piled with some cheap wooden bcdsteads, the iron
ones having been removed some time since foI
fear the prisoners would make other uses of them
There are now ten prisoners confined in the Jail
The court room has been very much improved
by putting in n false ceiling, window blinds, and
n ventilatOr up through the ceiling and roof The
painting has been well done, which adds very
much to its appearance. We would suggest that
the Grand Jury room be made more comfortable
by putting up window blinds and scraping the
ing ii with new set of chairs and spittOOns. II
seems now to be receptacle for all the old brOk-
en- chairs mating, &C.. which have been used in
other parts of the building. Also that the room
should be used only for q Grand Jury room, and
nothing else.
Thanks are due the Court for the courtesy
shown, and to the States Attorney for valuable
assistance, which he was always ready and will
ing to give.

Plans of the Democrats.

The Republicans in Congress, it appears.
depend upon two things to turn the tide of
Democratic success and restore to them the
confidence of the people, namely, a reduction
of taxation by the Congress now in session
and blunders by the Democratic leaders. We
believe they will be disappointed in the re-
suit of the first and not be gratilicd on the
second point The Democrats in Congress
will heartily cooperate with the Republicans
in all just and equitable measures looking to-
wards reducing the burdens of taxation, and
will be equally entitled with them to any
credit that may attach thereto. In the second
place the Democrats do not intend to blunder,
although pitfalls will doubtless be spread in
their path by their opponents. The plans
of the Democrats are outlined in the Wash
ington correspondence of the Baltimore Sun,
as follows:
Senator German, of Maryland, and ex,speaker
Randall were in consultation oday regarding
the line of action to be followed by the Demo
cratic party in Congress during the present ses-
sion. Senator German says it is proposed to
hold Joint caucus of Democratic Senators and
Representatives at an early day, when definite
programme will be laid out. He thinks the
Democratic party will proceed with delibera-
tion and caution in all matters OF general legs-
lation. He says they will advocate q reduction
of the internal revenue taxes, probably abolish
the tax on everything but whisky and tobacco,
and advocate reduction of the force now en-
ployed under the direction of the internal reye
nue. bureau.
Senator Groome said that he was in favor of
taking off taxes as soon as possible, and would
assist in any proper measures to that effect
which were brought forward at this session.
He thought it would be wise TO get all the re.
ductien practicable at this session, and then if
the treasury would stand it, when the next Con-
gress came together the taxes could be still fur
ther reduced. Representative Talbot concurs
in the views of Senator German aud adds that
the Democratic party in Congress will endeavor
to lay firm foundation for future success by
advocating such measures as will serve the best
interests of the people and relieve them as far
rs possible from burdensome taxation

"A horrible accident occurred in n Gin
cinnati theatre, last Thursday afternoon. In
the course of the play one of the actors,
Frank Frayne. with rifle shoots an apple
from the head of an actress, Miss Annie Won
Behren, standing with his back to her, look
ing at her reflection in mirror. Frayne had
performed the feat successfully many times,
but on the occasion referred to the ball struck
the young lady squarely in the forehead,
killing her instantly. AS soon as Frayne
fired he turned, as the young lady fell, and
rushing to her fell in faint beside her. The
curtain was Immediately lowered, the spec
tators thinking it all part of the play
Frayne was almost wild with grief, having,
it is said, been engaged to be married to Miss
Won Behren. 1t is time that the authorities
should put stop to such dangerous and de-
moralizng spectacles.

LOCAL OPTION IN ANNE ARUNDEL AND
HowARD.-Local Option elections were held
in Anne Arundel and Howard counties, on
Tuesday. In Howard the vote was taken by
districts, every district giving majority
against the sale of liquor. The same result
occurred in Anne Arundel, where the vote
was taken in the aggregate. In Annapolis
the unusual sight was seen of bands of wo
men at the different polling places, singing,
praying and admonishing voters to vote for
prohibition. 1t was frequent occurrence to
see voter marched to the polls between two
ladies and triumphantly voted in the interest
of local option.

REAssEMBLING OF CONGRESs.-The second
session of the 47th Congress was opened at
Washington on Monday In the Senate
business was Immediately commenced, the
Presidents message was read and the death
of Senator Hill, of Georgia, feelingly announc-
ed by his colleague, Senator Brown. In the
House several new members were sworn in
and leave granted to introduce n number of
new bills The titles ofthese show that some
of the Republican members, at least, are dis
posed to yield to the demand of the people for
lower taxation, by reducing the expenses of
the government and abolishing useless offices.
Some of the bills were MS follows:
Further to protect executive officers and
employees of the United States government from
political assessments. TIt prohibits any Senator
or Representative in Congress or officer appoint
ed by the President from requesting or demand
ing from any of the officers or employees of the
government money or other thing OF value Tor
political purposes.
To reduce internal revenue taxation.
To take the tax off fermented liquor and
tobacco.
To reduce postage to 2cents.
To repeal the internal revenue laws.
To adjust taxation in the District of Column
ba.
To abolish the offices of Assistant Secretaries
of War and navy.
To preserve the purity ofthe elective franchise
and to punish bribery and other ofienses against
free ballot.
For the better regulation of the civil service.
Hts object is to prevent removal of government
officials except for cause, to provide a fixed
tenure for subordinate officers, and to abolish
the custom of political assessments.

was buried at Cavalry Church on Monday, the
Rev. Messrs. McNemar and Morgan officiating.

Donation to n Pastor,

The donation party to Rev. Il. ID. Finney and
wife, at the Presbyterian parsonage in Bel Air,
on Thanksgiving evening. was quite a surprise
and great pleasure to those who were so mate
rally benefited by it. AS the clock struck seven
the door bell was gently rung, and upon opening
the door the porch appeared to be full of what is
difficult to describe on paper. Human faces were
seen and human voices were heard. but there
were huge brown and white sacks and bundles
protruding along side of the faces, and packages
of all sizes and shapes in the hands and extended
arms and with their different colored head COW
erings of bonnets. nubias and hats 1t was difficult
in the dim evening light TO tell just what was
coming in. But as the good host never runs from
his own door. he bravely stood his ground, threw
open widely his door and babe them come in and
welcome. Then there began great separation
and division. The huge sacks were, with the help
of others. let down to the floor and put In a safe
place, and the big bundles and little bundles with
many good wishes, were laid down out of the way,
and bonnets, hats, coats and shawls removed, and
all seemed to recognize each other. and the good
host found he was in the midst of his friends who
had come in this manner to pay their respects to
him and to replensh his larder.
A most delightful and pleasant evening was
spent, and after faring sumptuously on elegant
cake and excellent coffee, brought prepared and
served by the fair guests all took their departure
with light hearts and sweet recOllections of the
occasion and with the thanks and blessing of their
pastor and his wife, wended their way homeward,
and at ten o'clock the parsonage seemed to be all
empty. except the larder, which in three hours
time had increased its Contents amazingly. May
1t have many happy returns of such satisfactory
increase.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS, or the passage of
the planet between the earth and the sun,
on Wednesday, was one of the most import
ant astronomical events of the century. Its
value to science consisted in furnishing astron-
omers more accurate data than they had
for measuring the distance from the earth to
the sun, which distance furnishes a unit for
measurement of the distance ofother heaven
ly bodies from each other The observations
in this country were fairly successful, but in
England snow storm interfcred. The next
transit of Venus will not occur for 1879 years
in June, 2004 Venus in passing across
the disk of the sun looked like n very small
black spot on the suns brightness, likened,
by one lady observer, to the head of black
bonnct.pin.

In the Criminal Court of Baltimore city,
last Friday, Judge Phelps sentenced Charles
Foote, colored, to be whipped with seven
lashes and to be confined sixty days in Jail
for brutally assaulting and beating his wife
The lashes were promptly administered
The prisoners counsel, Mr.. T. Kell Bradford
intends to sue out writ of error to the
Court of Appeals. 1t is difficult 10 see what
relief the Court of Appeals can give. The
fellow has received his lashing and before the
case can be reviewed he will have served out
his sentence of Imprisonment. This is the
first instance, we believe, in which wife
beaten has been sent to the whipping post
under the law of 1882.
