THE TOWN MEETING.

A meeting of indignation at the attempt
to disfranchise the voters Of Rockville by
placing the power to appoint the Town
Commissioners in the hands Of the County
Commissioners, was held in the Court House
on Tuesday evening by large number of
our citizens without regard to politics.
In this movement our citizens are justified.
They are striving to maintain principle at
the foundation of our government against
clique endeavoring to sap the principle and
degrade the intelligence Of their opponents
They are right because they are large ma
jority against small minority.
They are right because they place them
selves on record as against Capitalization in
any degree. The minority make an ad-
verse record. If in the future any attempt
should be made in our national government
at centralization-and events seem to indi-
cate that there will be-the supporters of the
measure of disfranchisemen in our little
town must to be consistent, assist the ma
tonal effort at Capitalization. If they are
successful in their present effort centraliza-
ton will begin and strengthen at our home.
Our legislators also make the same record if
they give the measure a favorable VOTE
Thus Capitalization has crept beyond the
confines of Rockville and into the borders
of our county to the extent of the strength
of the personal influence OF our Represent
atives.
The minority say at is better to refer the
appointing power to the County Commits
sioners" without any reason. Better, we
suppose for the minority, because some OF
them having some prominence will have in
fiuence with the Commissioner, and through
that indirectly appoint the town officers to
expend the peoples money and govern gen
orally. Those who have never sought promi-
nence in politics would not be recognized by
the Commissioners.
Again it is argued that these officers should
be appointed in the same manner as con-
stables, magistrates, &c. We think that
there is no ground for comparison. With
just as much reason it might be argued that
the Governor of the State should appoint
the chief officers of our county government,
or the President OF the United States ap-
point our Governor and Legislators. There
is vast difference between the character Of
power of our town officers and constables
and magistrates. The former make the laws
of the town and the latter merely execute
laws of the State.
The minority has no sound reason for the
attempt to deprive the people of their votes
If the question was submitted TO the vote OF
the people it would be defeated largely
The minority has taken the arbitrary posi-
ton that the change must be made because
they wish 1t, with the sequence of an adj
vantage to them.

DEATHS

Passed from the church militant TO the
church triumphant, Feb. 10Th, 1882, near Da-
mascus, CALEB GRIFFIN, aged seventy-five
years, after painful illness of pneumonia.
In early years the subject of this short re-
cord proiessed faith in Christ and united
with the M. Z. Church, whence commenced
that life of purity and devotion, of unflinch
ing loyalty to the Lord Jesus, whom he
loved; that one long, unwearied pressing
forward for the Kingdom, despite crosses
hard to bear and sorrows how bitter, God
only knows A man of marked humility,
Of deep sympathy,
"Oer hill and vale, with tireless feet,
Glad messages he bore
The story of the cross so sweet,
He told it DER and DER"
Who has forgotten the "Amen !" in the
prayermeeting, the parting words, "Pray
MORE" or the touching "Over there" repeat
ed with the lips OF love TO the last?
Sainted Christian we mourn, yet kao,o
"The Everlasting Arms are around thee"
Rest
"Safe in the arms of Jesus"

The Ways and Means Committee have
very important work to perform in the ad-
justment OF the internal revenue laws. The
incomedcriyed from home taxes is very large
and is increasing rapidly. The total receipts
for the six months mp to January LIST were in
excess Of those of the previous six months to
the extent of over $s.OOO.O 900. of which about
$5,50O,O00 were received from tobacco and
fermented liquors If the tax on these is re-
duced, it is moro than likely that production
and consumption will so increase that the
revenue will not be considerably dimn-
ished. even though the tax on spirits is
lowered from ninety to fifty cents gallon.

Mrs. Surratt's Grave.

In Mount Olivet cemetery, on the Blad-
ensburg road Ia short distance beyond the
terminus of ii street0 repose the remains of
Mrs. Mary E. Surratt, who it will be remem-
bered was hung on the second day of July,
1865, as one OF the conspirators implicated
in the assassination OF President Lincoln
Her body was buried in the arsenal grounds
near the scaffold, with those of Payne, Her.
old and Atzerodt, and subsequently Wirz,
of Andersonville notoriety, was buried near
them. While the bodies were lying there
plain headboards were placed over their
graves. When the old pententiary build
ing was torn down the remains of j. Wilkes
Booth, buried in the end of the building,
and the bodies above named were all moved
into one of the large store houses of the ar
senal and placed under the tagging.
About the close of President Johnson's
administration 1869) the bodies were sur
rendered to the friends or relatives of the
deceased persons and were removed else
where-those of Wirz and Mrs. Surratt be-
ing taken to Mount Olivet When the body
Of the latter was eXhumed small black
ribbon, tied in a bow-knot, was removed
from her dress as a memento A number
of her former friends were present when the
reinterment was made in lot at the extreme
northwest corner of the cemetery. Stones
marked with the letter s. were set at the
corners of the lot.
With no other mark the spot was difficult
to find without guidance, and Mr.. p. Duffy,
the sexton at that time and for several years
afterwards, was frequently called on to point
out the spot where Mrs. Surratt was buried.
About 1875 Mr.. Gustavus Craney, a stone
cutter, residing at 1922 New Jersey avenue
southeast, was engaged in putting up some
headstones in the grounds, and Mr.. Duffy
called his attention to the want Of a stone
to mark Mrs. Surratts grave. Mr.. Craney
agreed to cut the letters on the stone if Mr..
Duffy procured one. Mr.. Duffy having pro-
cured stone it was chiseled by Mr.. Craney,
who cut the name "Mrs. Surratt" upon it
and set it at the head Of the grave Since
then there have been two other interments
in the lot, one grandchild of Mrs. SuIratt
and the other DIR. Thomas, of New Or
leans Washington Star.

A sermon on marriage was delivered by
Rev. Father Maturin, at st. Clements Catho-
lie Church, Philadelphia, Sunday evening
He is quoted as saying: "By the laws of
God husband and wife are one; the wife's
relatives are thus the husbands relatives
and he who marries his deceased wife's
sister commits as great sin as he who
marries his own sister. Matrimony was
founded by God, but has been degraded by
the sins of men. Persons who are married
are not married by the priest or by the
church, but by God, and there can be no
dispensation to violate the sanctity of the
marriage state. The divorce laws Of men
are in open and direct contradiction to the
laws of Christ, and are one Of the open
wounds of social life"
