Deaf II or DR.. Samuel 4. Mudd.

DR.. Samuel A. Mudd died at his residence
rear Eryantown, in this county on "Wednesday
of last week aftera short Illness of pneumonia
So short had been his Illness that no nformatio'
of it had been received here, and being, as he
wa; in the prime of manly vigor the sudden
inte,'igerce of his death received here on Friday
was as great a surprise as it was an unfeigned
add universal regret
III the death of DIR. Mudd. Charles county has
lost of her most honored citizens, the protes-
sion learned and useful member, while his
family must endure the loss of II kind Loving and
painstakiHg husband and father. He wa; ever
ready to lend his aid and assistance to the POOR
and needy and around the bed OF pail and .uf-
ferlng his generous nature was ever ready TO e.
tend comfort and solace. with his means and the
talents with which God had endowed him.
In the death o. DIR. Mudd has passed from
earth. the last of those who We're associated in
the assassination OF the lamented Presiden Lin
coin. free from any guilty connection with
conSpirators in this crime, which wilt ever dark
ell the pages of his,olv as an unborn babe, he
nevertheless, upon bare suspicion was made
to suffer from the brutal treatment of an enras-
ell and ungovernable people. Awed by the cir
cumStanceS of finding the assassin of the Presi-
dent in bis house, he having imposed upon his
generous nature by false statements rs TO the
origin of his accident, his crime was simply not
admitting the service rendered to Booth in set
ting his leg. Under the excitement prevailing AT
the time DR.. Mudd denied any knowledge of
Booth or that he had been at his house. He was
afraid that 10 admit service rendered even under
the Misrepresentation that the accident occurred
by a fall from his horse while travelling through
the county, as he had been told by Eooth, would
certainly secure his arrest and Incarceration. Ii,
courage forsook him and he denied his having
been with him, when upon search OF his house
the boot leg was found which had been cut from
the broken limb with -. Wilkes written with
in it. To then tell the whole truth awaited him
nothing. He was tried for conspiracy in the
saSsination, convicted and sentenced To the Dry
TortugaS for life, when after some three years he
was pardoned by President Johnson. 1t is an
injustice to the memory of a generous warm
hearted man to associate him with the guilty
Booth. His only crime being rendering medical
aid to Booth in his suffering, he not Knowing
Booth to be guilt, of any crime, but laboring
under the false impression he had sustained his
accident in an innocent fall from his hoIse.
He was in his 18th year Mt the time of his death.
He leaves a widow and six children to mourn
his great loss.

The January Moon.

The January moon fulls on the Esd at
thirty-ons minutes past O'Clock in the morn
ing. The moon is nearest to the earth on the
18th, and runs high on the 10th. The
winter nights will be superb about this time
for the moon rising high in the heavens, near
the full, and the brilliant Jupiter, will, on
clou lless nights, food the frsst-bound earth
with silvery light. At such times it is radi-
antly beautiful

Agreed Tariff

New York, Feb. 2l.-The executive COM
mittee of the trunk lines and the managers
of Western roads have signed the following
agreement:
1--WE hereby pledge ourselves that we will
not allow any variation to be made from
established east-bound rates, either by direct
deduction or by application of the sum of
locals by any officer, agent or employe of
roads controlled by us; and that upon re-
quest of the commissioner, when evil
dence satisfactory to him has been pre-
sented that established rates have been cut
by connecting road or its connections, even
though the reduction may be made in its or
their own proportion of rate, we will with
draw all prorating arrangements, and will
not accept from such connecting road
through bills or through cars, but will cause
transfer and rebilling of the property at full
tariff rates from the junction point; and we
further agree that any agent under our con-
troll who may be shown to be quoting less
than, or instrumental in cutting established
rates, either by rebate OR otherwise, shall be

latest exploit, the swallowing of steamship
line, to strengthen his Pacific railroad COM
bination, is exciting no little talk among
congressional and other spectators.
Nine. Patti, accompanied by her husband,
Nicolini, and General Sherman, called upon
the President this afternoon.
The President has informed applicants for
the position of Chief of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing that he does not intend
to interfere, but will allow Secretary Folger
to select the successor of the late Colonel
Irish.
Senator Van Wyck is endeavoring to in
duce the Postoffice Department to increase

The House committee on claims has practi-
cally decided, since it will be impossible to
consider all the contested election cases this

action by the Forty-eighth Congress.
