PORT TOBACCO:
Friday Morning, June %, 1888.

The Rockville Sentinel oflast week says
considerable excitement has been created
among the men at work upon the aqueduct
road, by the finding of god in rather large
quantities in the rock used in matchmaking
the road. This rock is taken from the land
where the Old Maryland Mine was opera
ted. The largest find that has yet been
made was lump of four ounces, which
has been sold for $22 per ounce. There
have been great many smaller finds, and
it is estimated that at least $500 worth of
gold has been found by the men whilst
breaking stones upon the road"

The various constructions placed upon
the 14th section, chapter 1913, acts Of 1880,
known as the oyster law, which refers to
the catching Of oysters in certain quaint
tiet during a prescribed time, aud for
bedding, planting and other purposes,
have completely bewildered the tongmen
and nonplussed officials who have charge
of the enforcement of the law. Capt.
Chas l. B. Mitchell, commander of the
oyster navy, has obtained an opinion from
Judge John NJ. Robinson, chief Judge Of
the first judicial circuit and associate
of the Court of Appeals, concurred in by
Associate Judge Joseph A. Wickes.
Judge Robison's construction of the law is
in effect that section IA, chapter 1913, acts
of 1880, allows the taking or catching of
oysters to the amount of five bushels for
private use or for sale to persons in the
neighborhood for their consumption as
food, but does not allow them to be caught
for canning purposes to be sold again.
He also holds that tongmen have right
to catch any quantity of oysters with a
view of bedding or replanting them in
the waters Of the county where caught,
but that they cannot take them outside of
the county for these purposes Captain
Mitchell has heretofore considered it
violation to plant or bed over five bush
els OF oysters. He has instructed his dep
uty commanders to act in accordance
with the opinion of Judges Robinson and
Wickes. The question effects many hun
dreds Of tongmen throughout the State,
who have felt it great hardship not to be
allowed to plant more than bushels day.

The Marlboro Guzette celebrated is
forty seventh birthday and began its forty
eight volumu with its last issue. The
Gazette is the only paper in Southern

kept fully up to its high s'andard of ex-
cellence, and richly merits the abundant
success it is achieving. .

A correspondent, in another column,
calls attention to what appears to be an
importan; fact, that the b. 4 p. r. X. Co.
are discriminating against such patrons
of their road as live along what they are
accustomed to call the "Pope's Creek
branch" of the road. Along this portion
of the road, he states, they are accustomed
to charge the rate of cents per mi e,
while along that portion OF the road wing
the rate is only cents per mile. This our
correspondent states is in violation of the
charter Of The road, and he refers to the
late Hon. John w. Mitchell as concurriug
in that opinion. Without, at this wiring,
having read the charter granted to the
road, we have no doubt that our cores
pendent is correct, as it is very usual and
proper that such provisions be inserted in
railroad charters. The trouble with the
present management OF the company APP
pears to be that they regard This portion
OF the road as a mere branch" and enti-
tied to very little, if any, consideration !;
while the facts are, if we are not mistaken
that from Baltimore city 10 Pope's creek
is, in contemplation of the charter obtain
ed from the State OF Maryland, the main
stem Of the B. If p r. T.. while the par
ton between B ,wie aud Washington city
is proper the branch" Tuis theory of
the company, it is said, in pursuance Of
which they consolidate the earnings of the
road betws n Washington and B ,.timore,
and segreyate those upna the Pipes
Creek branch is the reason thl' the an
nual statements OF the Company appear to
show an apparent loss upoa this ,r,iou
of the road. But however this may be 4;
whether this is the main stem or mere
branch, i'll il would seen that unfayara-

the primary election for members of
the Baltimore city ID ,mncrltic convention
which took place on Tuesday las, pissed
off without incident This w4s the first
ties, to which the harm onious arraG cement
lately efec'ed among the Democracy Of
the city has been subjected, and the result
seems TO be an entirely satisfactory one -
The Young Democratic Association, which
was recently org ,nizsd for the purpose of
inducing 4 more general interest 10 poll
teal affairs, and which included in its
ranks many of the leading men Of the city
having secured such arrangements as pro-
missed entire fairness, took an active inter
est in Tuesdays primaries The result
was that q much larger vote was p oiled on
that day than at any similar election tor
some time past. When this association
was organized some time aya. the TINES
took occasion to say that, If its purpose
was to &c. " thin the party organiza ion
and induce fl attend .nce of represen-
tative d emac-as at the primaries as the
only effec i've and safe mems Of overcom
ing corrupt practices, that is influence
would be beaeticiaI We are glad TO OBJ
serve that they adopted that course, and
the result Of Tues lays election demon
strates its wisdom No untairness or
fraudulent practices are charged on either
side to have existed, and a united Demo
cracy is ready to accept the result of the
primary elections. The young Democrats
found it necessary to place a ticket in the
field to be voted for 10y the friend. of re-
form, aud of the 1870 delegates to the con
ventien 102 Of those recommended by the
Young Democrats were elected. It is
pleasing to note that the young Democrats
did not adopt the same methsds, or rather
want Of method. resorted to by the de-
funct and 9uarrelsome o. L. DIS, and it is
now to be hoped that The city Democracy
will hereafter be united and harmonious.
