Mr.. Editor Please excuse me for taking
up the space in your valuable paper, but
my conscience will not let me rest until
confess mistake | made during the last
session of the legislature. l favored the
passage OF an act 70 fine all persons making
public use OF profane language or blasphem-
ing the name Of God-I had not the re-
hottest idea at the time that the members of
the legislature would stultify themselves by
passing such and act--depriving the people
of their rights, but passed IL was, and since
its passage see my error The law IL un-
Just In that il bears harder on the poor man
than on the rich--the rich man has many
acres on which he can swear, but the poor
map few-sgain 1t has tendency to make
people deceiBul, appearing never to use an
sexecration when 10 reality they seek back
alleys and secluded places 10 disgorge them
selves Of cuss- words accumulated in con-
versation. The Apostle Peter swore and
Jobs wife favored cussing; 50 numberless
examples might be brought forward, but
what Is the use Of argument A free man,
as the law now stands, can't drive cat
away in q respectable manner without near
ly twisting his neck off To see II any one Is
in hearing distance, nor can be drive hen
iont Of his garden, that has ruined weeks
work, without being exceedingly careful.
Now do hope that all who have felt the
oppression Of this law, and see the harm It
Is doing, will meet in Rockville at an early
day and put ticket in the field. Lets have
aiarge turnout--rieh cusses and poor cusses,
higlIcusses and low cusses, white cusses and
black cusses, come and we will arrange u
ticket that will saeeep the country. To prove
that am instigated by no motive save that

Potomac Items.
Some cold weather for last of March.


Messrs. Veal g. Lay have opened o fine
family grocery store on High street, West
Washington. Mr.. Jno. M. Veal has many
friends in Montgomery, whom he made
when with Garrett & Maus, Great Falls, and
Messrs. Cropley g. sons, of Georgetown,
The firm deserves share Of the public
patronage. Mr.. Lay was formerly with
Msssrs. Offutt & Bro.
The warehouse at Great Falls, owned by
Mr.. H. A. Garrett, was burned last Thurs
day, together with its effects, which con-
sisted OF so bales Of hay, Is barrels Of corn,
about tons of guano, some machinery, &c.
Mr.. CARROTS loss is $500-no insurance.
1t required strenuous efforts to save other
property 1t is supposed that the fire was
commenced by spark from passing boat.
Business on the canal is looking up. Boats
loaded with coal and grain are passing quite
frequently -Four carpenters are now sta
toned at Great Falls making now gates, &c.
Some few lock tenders have resigned and
their places have been filled. A full set oil
hands are employed on each repair scow,
and, let me add, Sam has lock again, this
time the crooked one of the six.
Mr.. Winfield Offutt has accepted the local
agency to sell some machinery, &C., and
Prof.. Tichborne, the travelling agent, ian
ex.wizard,) will be at Potomac next Mon
day evening at 8 o'clock to explain the
working of the machinery. Also as an in
ducement to draw crowd he will exhibit
his abilities as a ventriloquist and show
slight of hand. Performances, &c, free.
All are invited to be present.
Considerable building is being done.
Messrs. Darius and Montgomery Clagett are
having erected tenant houses and other
buildings are going up.
There are two petitions for a new road
from the Potomac and Mill road across TO
the River road and thence to the canal.
Both petitions are numerously signed. We
hope one road will be granted, as 1t is much
needed, but fear as two routes are petitioned
for that it may not be granted, owing 10
different locations wanted.
Measles still continue to rage In some
localities, but they now seem mider.
Mr.. r. G. Connell has struck water at last
In his well, after being over year blasting
The well is 65 feet deep through blue rock
no gold. VI
Will some of your mathematicians divide
100000 between three people as follows
To one third, another fourth and the
other fifth and leave no remainder.

Mr.. Editor Il have often thought how
"fearfully wonderful" man is created He
may be termed a temple occupied by liv-
ing soul and that soul was intended 10 be
illumed by the spirit of God The body
is temple and is occupied by the soul, and
is 50 created as to enjoy the highest state of
happiness, both on earth and in time TO come
hereafter. The first great step towards hap
piness is to be temperate 10 eating, drinking
and speaking IL every thing we do, no
matter what, avoid excess OF every sort, par
ticularly in talking, eating and drinking
He who eats too mnch gets sick, drinks too
much gets drunk, talks too much Injuries
himself and others. God has provided .
way for man to be happy. Man, the tenn.
pie, occupied by living soul, is protected
by heavenly body-guard and many Of the
guard are known TO many people, Tenn
perance 10 grand outside sentinel; while
ever he isat his post and strictly performs
his duties everything goes on well. Con-
science Is tn, great inside sentinel, virtue
and purity are beautiful damsels who con-
tinually watch and are nourished by tenn
perance and conscience. Industry and
economy are the great workers for soul
and body. knowledge overlooks and d.
reefs what is best TO do for all. These are
the names of the most prominent of the
body-guard in happy estate. And happy
is the man or woman who will always con-
sent and strive TO have with them temper
ance, conscience, virtue, purity, industry,
economy, knowledge and pleasure, as no
one can live right on earth or go to heaven
hereafter that does not take counsel of the
body-guard and listen to their teachings.
Now say you will discharge temperance
This.cannot be done for moments you do
you take in his place intemperance, the
prompter of every evil Imagination. Keep
intemperance as the great outside sentinel
and give him rule and by degrees conscience
wiilcease his warnings until he is lost sight
OF, virtue and purity give place to shame
and misery, industry and economy give
place to extravagance and want, knowledge
and pleasure give place to ignorance and
RIGHTEOUSNESS. The temple Is disfgured,
delapidated and disgraccd. The soul Is de-
graded, benighted and lost, and the angels
thai once rejoiced in the beautiful scene OF
temperance, turn with tears from intemper-
ancc sadly away. Temperance, faithful
watcher with conscience, virtue, purity, In
dustry, economy, knowledge, pleasure and
their Thousand attributes, may they ever
hold the fort. q.

They especially recommend that the sani.
tary committee or Board of Health look
well to the institution in the future. The
Jail presents q clearly appearance and as il
is found intact in all Its parts, may be con-
sidered as safe as such structure ever will
be-what 1t is, has been so often reported
by other juries, that the present one feel
that nothing need be added. They find a
child some eight or nine years old who has
been confined within its walls for nearly
year and this Is so evidently contrary to the
genius of our institutions, they suggest that
an effort be made to bind her out or failing
In this, to send her TO the Almshouse
The Treasurer of the school fund makes
excellent showing in his department. The
jury regret to learn that arrearages on the
part Of some of the collectors make II proba-
BILE that the scholastic year will be much
shortened. Measures have been taken TO
compel defaulting collectors to meet their
obligations, the jury therefore attach no
blame.
The jury would coll special attention to
the conduct of witnesses who are summoned
before It. Many of them have proved delin-
quent and attachments issued are either
evaded or disregarded, encouraged thereto,
no doubt by those who violate the laws,
they find this especially so with the local
option law and the jury suggest that the
Court exercise all its powers In punishment
Of such witnesses, continuing Its efforts In
this direction so long as the legal limit of
time lasts
All Of which is most respectfully SUBJ
n1itted. GEo. w. HILTON, :.

Mr.. Editor Again and finally ask q
brief space in your valuable journal, hoping
the position we occupy will not detract from
It's Democracy. In the article, "Acknowl.
edgments TO One of Them" the writer says,
Now the great error Of your correspondent
Is his misconstruction OF the true intent and
meaning of the words meat and drink in the
passages quoted" If an error, II is one into
which some of the abest Divines have fallen
in their commentary upon Romans. At the
time OF Pauls writing the church at Rome,
(the Christian church,) was composed OF
both Jews and Gentiles. The scruples Of
the Jews in reference to the uncleanness of
meats offered in sacrifice, prevented their
eating Of meat or drinking of wine thus
sed.-Josephus' life, Oh. 49,
Paul would give them to understand that
"All things indeed are pure" but their faith
should demonstrate itself in that love that
would enable them TO consider the peace
and consciousness Of brother and remove
every block of offence that would be an &C.
casion for stumbling.
Wine was the subject under special con-
sideration in the honorable gentleman's
second article, and we take it for granted
ardent spirits; if he did not so intend the
F-St e4NA 49, sAAa6t Woho SoFCt shO

The whole matter may be summed up in
this: We are SO to act towsrds our brethren
as to enable them $50 far at least as our &C.
tons are concerned) TO have conscience
void off offence toward God and man.
Governed by faith that works by love we
should be found leveing our pen against
the enemy OF mothers, widows and orphans,
then the powerful battery which some WELD
so skillfully would be turned upon Satan,
who is ever setting his snares and nets in
the form OF gin and whiskey shops to catch
the inexperienced and unsuspecting but bril-
liant youth of our land
We gratefully acknowledge the good act
OF our much esteemed friend in granting his
constituency an opportunity of expressing
their will; was not the vote sufficient to
make it Democratic? The majority ruleth

these are the stubborn facts they must face
in the presence of an honest, fearless and
intelligent people.
To the latter who have tue burden of taxa

sequence who, as individuals, shall be graft
fled In their aspirations for promotion Ia
positions Of honor, profit or trust, but il
factional animosities are not rckindled, To
answer personal ends, and fairness and good
faith prevail at our primaries, it is difficult
to see anything in the present situation of
affairs to Justify Democrats in deserving their

alliance. 50.
As tending to impress upon the mind the
importance of honest, faithful and intelli-
gent administration Of public affairs cases
may be cited which have recently been
heard upon appeal and decided by the
supreme Court of the United States by
which we are reminded that as consequence

rigid economy practiced in public expendi-
tures Upon rational grounds OF prudence,
patriotism and sound policy, the legislature
adopted the latter alternative-an example
which 1t is TO be hoped will be followed by
future assemblies.
BY reference to the report Of the Comp
troller of Treasury il Is seen that the funded
debts of the State exceed her available and
productive assets by nearly six millions. of
dollars, and even II no extraordinary drain
should be made upon her resources ~ meet
an emergency it ia clear this can be paid
only In one OF the two ways above men
toned, and it will be for future legislatures

For full explanation of the above your
readers may be referred TO the report Of the
Committee of Ways and Means, TO be found
beginning on page 1893 Of the Journal Of
the last House In which attention Is called
to the fact that when the Democratic party
came into power Immediately after the close
OF the late war the sinking fund had been
destroyed and wanton extravaganza prac-
ticed which, IL Is but just TO say, has been
initiated since to such degree as TO Justify
the complaints that have been made, but at
the same time II vindicates our treasury Of
ficers In moral point Of view ct least, which
must be gratifying TO every true Democrat.
II Is objected by some, that these com.
plants, investigations and explanations are
all improper as exposing family difficulties
and revealing family secrets, but the truth
Is that the great family to whom these secrets
belong embraces every taxpayer within the
State and the party charged with the nd
