of Appeals Hon. Frederick Stone, of South

The recent designation by the Governor
of Hon. Richard H. Alvey to be chief judge
of the Court of Appeals imposes all the
labors of The fourth Circuit, comprising
three of the most important counties of
of an active and progressive part of the
State, upon two associate Judges, Syester
and Hoffman. 1t is competent, however,
for the Legislature to assign, by act Of
Assembly, additional duties to the judge
of the Court Of Appeals elected from Bal
timore city.

Mr.. Justice Harlan, of the Z. S. Supreme
Court, has just published his dissenting
opinion in the civil rights cases. He has
delayed its publication long time, but
for the sake of his reputation as jurist, it
would have been better for him to have
withheld it forever, as the gist of it is that
though hotel keepers, car conductors and
theatre lessees are monarchs of ali they
survey in their respective spheres, SO tar
as white people are concerned, when col
ored man appears they must be public SER
wants, and that the white people of the
country ordained that this difference be
made when they changed their fundamen-
tai law. Justice Harlan is the only South
ern man on the Supreme Bench. This O.
pinion of his will induce many to think
that if he be a fair sample of Southern ju
rists-which, thank heaven! he is not
even that one is too many

The field of politics this week. says the
Baltimore Sun, has been blrren OF events
of general interest to the public, and very
few prominent State politicians have Wis
tied the city. Hon. Robert NJ. McLane
has been ia New York for some days. He
will be inaugurated Governor on January
9th, 1884. What talk there is in Balti-
more concerning the organization of the
Legislature relates almost entirely to the
House of Delegates. The name Of DR.. J.
Pembroke Thorn, of Baltimore city, was
started for the Speakership of the House
by some of the Baltimore members, and
has gained steadily in influential Demo.
cratic party circ'es until it looks now as
if the tide is in that direction. For the
Presidency Of the Senate it is not so easy
to speak, because none Of the county Sen
ators have been here to give their views
on the subject If that place should hap
pen to- 90 TO the Eastern Shore, which is
not at all improbable, DR.. George W.
Bishop, of Worcester county, will loom
up strong as the coming man. He is re-
garded as sound adviser and his Demo
cracy is of the positive type which pro-
misses to prevail under The McLane admin
istration when party matters are consider
ed. Some of the Eastern Shore journals
are booming Ex-Governor Thomas for the
United States Senate, and it is understood
that this veteran Democrat stands well in
that connection with the Senators on bis
shore. Senator Groom did well in Cecil
county at The late election, and the party
in his county, about which all sorts of evil
things were promised early in the fght, has
set him in the front as State leader

Gen. W. c. Wickham an original Viz.
gisia Republican. and for number OF
years the chairman of the Republican er-
ecutive committee of that State, becoming
disguised with the coalition Of the Repub-
lican party with Mahones followers, ac-
cepted the Democratic endorsement in the
Hanover Caroline dis rict for a seat in the
State Senate to which he has been elected.
A. W. Jones, his coalition opponent. has
served notice of contest upon Gen. Wick
ham in which he charges that the election
was carried BY intimidation, hall II box
$ uffing and use Of whiskey." Gen. Wick
ham has published reply to Jones no'ice
in which he uses the following truthful
and just language, which in some Of its
details fully sustains tie views heretofore
advanced by the TINES
"The great crimes against humanity itself
in which Jones has been engaged during hi.

pitch of frenzy the feelings and prcudices
of the colored peope Of this district against the

whom and themselves it is absolutely essential
to the interests Of both. that there should be
kind and neighborly feelings and respect and
esteem-he is now adding the crime against,

white people ef Virginia. bv falsely charging
upon them intimidation Of the colored voters
who desired to vote for him, in which charge
he knows that there is 70 truth whatever. and
that 10 fact the only intimidation Of colored
voters in this district at the late election was

wanted to vote for me from their kindly feelings
for me, or because they knew me TO be a re-

Some surprise has been expressed by
those in attendance upon Court that in the
charge of the Chief Justice in which he
reviewed so fully the law regarding the
statement of the county commissioners, no
mention was made of the law making the
holding of election day breakfasts penal
It is generally understood, however, that
it was to this his honor referred when he
said that there were other matters upon
which after more deliberation he might
deliver supplementary charge. Up to
this writing, no supplementary charge has
been delivered, but it is clearly within the
province OF the grand inquest to find pre-
sentiments upon violations of law which
are not brought to their attention in the
charge from the bench. Judge Stone al
luded to this in his charge. Up to Thurs
day morning no witnesses had been before
the body as far as we have been able to
learn in reference to the matter, though. 1t
is hoped that this most important matter
will not again be allowed to go by de-
fault

The Inter State commission on Federal
aid to education have prepared bill that
only calls for $60,0OO,OO0. But let not the
reader be startled at these figures. 1t is
not proposed to take this sum from the
Treasury in lump and parcel it out to
syndicate. The plan is to make twelve
annual installments of it and have the mo-
ney expended under the direction of the
several State authorities-so much to each
State The object is of course TO enlarge
the facilities of the common schools and
provide for the education of the iliterate
wherever, by reason of insufficient local
funds or other causes, the States are un-
able to fully meet the necessities of the
situation. That these necessities are great,
and every day becoming more and more
formidable, is apparent. That something
must be done to check the advancing tide
OF ignorance, that it may not eventually
cover the land like blight, is equally OBJ
vious; and Congress cannot safely delay
action in the premises. With the details
of the bill to be presented by the Commits
sion, we are not familiar, but its scope and
purpose are to be commended, and it has
no doubt been drawn with care, intelli
gence and practical understanding of
the legislation required.

The national capital has now begun to
assume an animated and lively appearance.
Congressman are beginning to drop in and
the rival candidates for the Speakership
have set up their headquarters where they
receive and discuss their probable chances
of success with their friends. Rumors are
already filing the air and will grow thick
er and thicker as the first Monday in De-
cember approaches. 1t is conceded that
the two chief contestants for the Speakers
chair are Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky. The latter
claims to have ninety votes sure on the
first ballot and enough 10 make his cleo
ton certain on the second ballot Mr.
Randall says little but his friends express
the utmost confidence in his triumph. 1t
is not long to wait.

On last Sunday, November 18th, at ~
o'clock NJ, new system of time was put
in operation in this part of the world, that
is to say, the time pieces used on all rail-
roads between Boston and Pittsburg will
be made to show the same time, namely
that of the 18th meridian of longitude
west from Greenwich, England. Time
pieces east of the said meridian, which
passes a few miles east of Philadelphia,
viii require to be moved back, while those
west OF it will have to be advanced, accor-
ding to the relative distance they may be
east or west of the said meridian. mas
much as that which is lost in one section
is gained in another, it is to be hoped the
change will not be attended by such ser
ious results as were produced by a change
made from the old to the new in Sept.m-
Der, 1852, when eleven days were dropped
from the calendar, and the 3rd day was
reckoned the 14th
