Splendid Tribute.

AT a banquet of the Lincoln club in New York
last week, the following splendid tribute to ex-
Senator Conkling was paid by the Rev. DIR. J. P.
Newman, an eminent divine of the Methodist
church:
1 am proud to belong to that section of the party
known as Stalwart. / do so from religious prin-
ciple and from intellectual principle The names
of Washington, Lincoln and Grant have been
mentioned. want to speak of another name-a
name that will live when the bronze has melted
and the marble crumbled and the canvas faded
AWAY name that will live while the stars shine
and that name is Roscoe Conkling. [Cheers for
Roscoe Conkling.] majestic model of a man
a man of more than Attic eoquence, of more than
Roman logic "a man who can hold up his hand
as Arisides of old did and say there is no stain of
bride there-a MAJ who preferred to go down and
out of sight rather than sacrifice principle All
honor to the name of Roscoe Conkling. More
cheering.

Ezg~ State Senator Williams wants to 90 home.
His proposition for adjournment of the Iegis-
lature on or about March 10th is about the most
sensible thing done this session, and would have
been easy of Accomplishment if the Democrats had
not wasted four weeks in political trading instead
of attending to legislative work. Two matters of
considerable Importance should be disposed of,
however, before any action is taken for final
adjournment. One is the city extension bill, and
the other the five cent car fare bill. Mr. Williams,
who votes in Baltimore county, has always taken
deep interest in the first of these measures, and
we are sure that he does not desire the two houses
to adjourn before that matter is taken up. A
hasty adjournment might be prejudicial to the in
terests of"the Belt" it would delay the time of
its separation from Baltimore county, and we are
sure that it is only necessary to remind Mr.. Will
liams of this to convince him of the necessity of
the legislatures remaining in session long enough
to pass the bill for the extension of the city limits
baltimore american.
The American does not appear to be aware of
the fact that Senator Williams is now and always
has been one of the strongest opponents of city
extension. 1t is hardly probable, then, that he
would desire to prolong the session of the Legs-
lature in order to pass measure which, when it
comes up, he will oppose with all his vigor

The Maryland Sunday School Union held it's
26th annual meeting in Baltimore, on Tuesday.
The president, Mr.. G. S. Griffith, submitted his
report. 1t gave an interesting account Of the
work accomplished during the year. The report
showed that the people throughout the State are
becoming more interested in Sunday schools and
their advantages, and also that the number of pu-
pills is continually increasing. Mr.. Griffith stated
that he had Travelled great part of the State
during the past year, and he had been greatly en-
couraged by the many evidences Of the excellent
work resulting from the faithful discharge of the
duties of the Unions missionaries. He also stated
that the work among the colored people had been
vigorously carried on, and he hopes to see much
better results among both races during the ensu-
ing year. Mr. VIM. A. Baker, the State Superin-
tendent, also presented report, stating that at
time of his connection with the Union had he had
occasion to submit a report which showed such
happy results for the past and hopefuness for the
future usefulness of the Union. The Union has

II was an Awful Thing to Do.

Eimira Advertiser, Feb Eth.
A young farmer of Clintondale, Ulster county,
became deeply enamored of a young lady, a strang
er in the neighborhood, who was temporarily stop
ping in the village, and, after counting her assid
uously for some days, popped the all-important
question: received eyes" for answer, and insist
ed on the marriage ceremony being performed the
following evening. Accordingly large number
of friends were invited, and the couple were made
one by justice of the peace of the neighborhood.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the ceremony
the bride was surrounded by her gentlemen friends,
all of whom insisted upon kissing her, greatly to
the displeasure Of the jealous groom, whereupon
she made her escape to an adjoining room, and
the bridegroom has not her since, or at least
has not been able to recognize her. The truth of
the matter is that the bride was pretty boy and
that when he left the he changed his gar
ments and mingled with the crowd and enjoyed
the fun. The groom will never get over the rather
practical joke which his friends played upon him.

About the Size of Il.

baltimore Common Sense.
good many Democratic politicians have been
set to thinking by the alarming growth SIRE
publicansm in the State. They realize that the
Fulton Thomas gang of Republican leaders had
not worked to keep their party close corpora
ton, controlling Federal affairs in Maryland, and
by secret bargains, leaving the State and city to
the Democracy, Maryland would be to-day in the
hands of the Republican party. They realize that
there really is very little difference in the position
of the two national parties on live political issues,
and that it would be an advantage to the State
if it was in harmony with the National Admins
tration and the majority in Congress. They begin
to consider it hopeless to expect the election Of
Democratic President or U. S. Senate. Many of
them in their hearts wish that they were now solid
with the Republican party and had the chances
that it would open to them, but they afraid to
cross the Rubicon. Let one of them make the
leap, and hundreds of the Democratic leaders
would follow. All would do so who could hope
to get fixed They are afraid of the obliquy they
would encounter from their old followers and un-
certain of their reception by the Republican pol
iticians, who dread rivalry for the offices.

$12.2OOIII

This is the first fruits saved to the Treasury of
the State by the fight for reform and retrenchment
commenced by Governor Hamilton and those in
accord with him, and CALAMITY waged in the
present Legislature by Senators and Delegates
who have shown themselves faithful to their
trusts and true to the people This 200 is
saved by the efforts of Mr.. Brattan and others in
the Senate and by Mr.. McCosker and others in
the House-to whom be all honor lin the matter
of the State printing. Only their persistent efforts
against immense pressure and the most skillful
practices, could have accomplished this which,
though not all that should have been done is
great deal in the right direction. The State
printing, one year, ran up as high as $4,000 and
has been standing generally at S3S, 900 ever since
until this year, when through the successful as
sault made as above upon the '"job," it was re-
duced to $25,S00. Another session will bring the
cost down to "hard pan," as the people will no
longer brook such prices as are paid in contrast
with the cost of similar work in other States

INTERVIEW WITH GEN. CREswELL.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun gives in the issue of that paper of Thursday
the result of an interview had with Gen. ]. A. J.
Creswell, from which we make the following ex-
tracts. The correspondent asked
"What do you think of the present condition of
the Republican party in Maryland, and what Of
the party management for the past five years ~
Mr. Creswell replied that according to his view
the present condition Of the Republican party in
the State of Maryland was very encouraging
There had always been and probably aiways'woB&
be some dissatisfaction growing out of the dstri-
button of patronage, but under present circum-
stances he did not believe this would be so great
as to prevent future harmony in the counsels of
the party. He thought it would soon be organ
lied anew and put in position to achieve success
The management of the future would certainly be
better than the management of the last five years,
for that was like DR.. JOhnsons famous leg of NUT
ton-badly bred, badly fed, badly killed, badly
dressed, badly cooked, badly served, and general
ly as bad as bad can be. In saying this he had no
desire nor purpose to reflect upon any one, or 70
criticise individually any one connected with the
management of the past. He said he had no de-
sire nor ambition to be ranked among the leaders
of the party to be invested with any of the re-
sponsiblities as such. He was not a politician,
but only lawyer, and whatever aspiration he had
was in the direction of distinction in his profess
sion. He had neither the time nor the inclination
to assume the duties of so-caed leadership.
"What are your plans and purposes and those
of your friends, as to the future management of
the Republican party of the State?'
To this Mr.. Creswel replied that so far as his
influence extended, it would all be exerted in the
direction of liberalism and in the effort to get all
the good men of the State into the party fold. 1t
was time to forget all the asperites of the past all
the examinations and recriminations growing out
ofthe rebellion. Hewanted new policy-a policy
which would build up the State of Maryland in
crease its trade, promote its manufastnrp -1ser-
ests, develop its valuable lands, which 3 ~rew
lying waste, particularly the Eastern Shore and
in southern Maryland. In short, he said with a
laugh, Il would advocate a policy so broad and
enlightened that it would commend itself to the
Independent and discriminating judgment of the
Baltimore San, and secure its powerful and infu-
entail support He said he believed the Repub-
lican party in many portions of the State al
ready in majority, and, with the adoption of
policy such as he foreshadowed, with a fair regis
tration and fair election he had high hopes that
they could, at the worst, run their opponents up
to the very neck.

Education Of the Colored People

number of prominent colored citizens of Bal

tition to the Legislature:
"To the Honorable The General AsseatC1s Of
Maryland: Conference.-The undersigned petition
ers, representing meeting of colored citizens of
the State held in the city of Baltimore, Feb. Goth
inst, most respectfully beg leave to represent
they feel deep concern in the educational inter-
ests of the people they represent; that this con-
Germ is deepened when they are apprised of the
fact that there are in Maryland 134,4SS coored
persons, over ten years of age, who are unable tc
read and write The financial condition (for
which not wholly responsibility of the col
Ored people of the State, and especially in the
counties, where the largest percentage ofiteracy
exists, will not enable us to support private schools.
We are, therefore, dependent upon your magma
nimity for more liberal legislation in our behalf,
that school-houses and education may be placed
within easy reach of all the colored children in the
State. Your honorable body has heretofore been
very liberal toward the education of our people,
for which we feel sincerely grateful; and now that

you are supported by an enlightened Christian
public sentiment, we the more cheerfully and con-
fdently appeal to you for a more liberal legsla-

The Fate of an Indiana Bully.

Jake Painter had his own way IN BroWn county
Indiana for number of years, and bad way il
was. His wife got divorce and married again
but he drove away her husband and compelled her
to return to him, frightening her so thoroughly
that she remained. A neighbor offended him, and
he retaliated by poisoning CATTLE until the family
moved away to escape his persecution. He shot
three men who at various times opposed him, and
escaped punishment through the cOwardce of the
witnesses. A few days ago he went to Thomas
RObinson'S house, near by, and demanded that
Mrs. Robinson be given to him. 1t is not stated
whether the woman regarded the proposed trans
fer favorably but Robinson certainly did not, and
when Painter threatened him with death for re-
fusing shot the bully dead.

~ In the re-appOrtiOnment of the Congress
sional districts of this State the Democrats will
endeavor to so gerrymander the districts in such
a way as to make them all Democratic. Senator
German now has his head at work on this scheme
and is endeavOring to put up the job in such a
way as to defeat the will of the people. But per-
haps the Senator will find in the end that he has
made mistake. Such schemes have often been
known to recoil upon those who instigated them.
