The fisheries industry pursued by numer-
class of our citizens on the North
ern coasts, of both Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, are worthy Of the fostering OF
Congress. Whenever brought into competition
with the live industries OF other countries our
fishermen we'll as our man nufacturers OF fishing
appliances and preparers of fish products have
maintained a foremost place, and suggest that
Congress create a Commission TO consider the gen
eral question of our rights in the fisheries and the
means OF opening 10 our citizens under just and
enduring conditions the richly stocked fishing
waters and sealing grounds of British North Amer

The announcement that Mrs Myra Clark

The announcement that Mrs Myra Clark
Gaines has recovered verdict against the
city of New Orleans in the Federal court
there fer nearly two millions of dollars re
wives recollections of her legal battles -
She is now 7S years of age, has been en-
gagged for so years in litigation for the re-
covery OF property lawfully hers and she
still retains much of that energy which
has made it possible fof her to continue
during this period to brave opposition,
insult and discouragements OF every des-
cription. Under decisions made some
time ago Mrs. Gaines could have turned
out about 400 families holding titles from
the city OF New Orleans to property decid-
ed to he hers. but she has always treated
these people as innocent sufferers, and has
made no effort to modest them, although
she has often been sorely in need of money
She has often said that if she recovered
her property she would use it in doing
good, and she has refused some tempting
offers to dispose Of her claims to persons
who would have shown no mercy to those
who hold titles from the city of New Or
leans. Her object has been to secure her
rights without injury to innocent holders
of her property, and some time ago she
offered to appeal to the city to give to the
present holders full and free claims and to
settle the pecuniary damages with her

We would remind the party too that we are
on the eve of II presidential election, and upon
the preliminary contest this year will largely
depend our success next. The North an1 West
seem to have repudiatei Republican rule.
Last fall there WAS an nnbroken line of Dem
ocratlc victory from ocean to ocean. This
year the local elections indicate that the high
tide OF Democratic success has risen still hi !h-
er and bids fair TO drown out every vesuge of
OF Repuhlicansm. While triumph was being
won everywhere throughout the Union, the
tryland Dem ocracy alone ftltered. Shall we
again be laggardS in the hatlle tor deiverAnce
from RApuolicanism? Shall we turn our
backs in the hour of Democratic success on

willing to torego personal preferences and sac

We print elsewhere, in full, the last ar.

We print elsewhere in full, the last ar
ticle of the Hagerstown Mall on the sink
ing fund question. This seems to be an
end of the controversy between Us on
this subject AS our contemporary
adduces no further argun ent to sustain
its position upon this question, we con
stru its article as an admission that in the
light of the examination the little contro-
versy between us has led t. To make, it Is
now convinced that the wrongs and ex-
cesses' it was inclined 10 ch trg. up>n the
treasury officers and the Legislature in
connection with the defense loan sinking
fund have turned out to be i'm 5intry;"
and that it was unjust to the treasurer and
to the Democratic party when it s. reck
lessly denied the statement of that off ter
that "whatcver mistakes mi sht have been
made, the .lance sheet is can"
w: are pleased at this frank admission
on the part of our esteemed contemporary
and hope that in future it will keep these
facts in view. With regard to the ques
tion which it indirectly pro pounds, as to
whether we "obect to the faithful execu-
tion OF the law under which the loan was
made, whenever required tn mlintain the
substance of what was promised" with
out regard to any constitutional obtigl-
tion, we beg to sly that we never s,nction
the slightest violation Of the oh il atoms
of contracts on he part ofIindividuils or
S a'es; and that if any former Leyisll lture
should have (vithn its constitutional
power bound the State by a contract, that
it would be the duty of all subsequent
Legislatures t. fulfill it to the tier We
wi! simply rem irk, however, that if there
had ''een any contract with the defense
loan ere iitors male by the Legisl lture of
1868. which the Legislature of 1S12 vio
competent for the defense loan creditors
to have filed their comp aint AMI asserted
their rights through the courts for by the
Federal constitution S ate is expressly
prohibited from passing any law impair
ing the obligations of existing contracts,
1t would have been much more becoming
for an alleged Democratic G>vernor and a
professed Democratic Journal to have wait
ed for the defense loan creditors to be
heard from in legal and proper manner,
than to have arrtigned their party thro'
a series Of pub is9ed articles aud a public
harangue, AT The risk of exciting discon-
tent and disaff.ction in the minds ot those
Incompetent to Judge upon charges which
the merest inves igltinn have turned out
to be imaginary The fact that The lie
fense loan creditors have not been heard
to comp'aid is expltinlble upon one OF
two hypothesis; either that they have
been convinced that The act abolishing the
sinking fund was not in conflict vi h

1t has been noticed for some time past
that the weather predictions from the Sig
nal Service Bureau are not nearly SO ac-
curate as formerly. This is said to be the
fault Of Congress, which. by refusing to
make necessary appropriation has Grip
pied the buref considerable. The area
of observations by telegraph has been very
materially reduced, no reports by wire
coming now from the Pacific coast, the
Rocky Mountain region or the West In
dies. Upon the insufficient reports re-
ceived it is, of course, difficult to make
correct observations. The appropriations
for the next fiscal year become available
on the 1st of July, when, it is expected
the present defects can be remedied.

The approaching session of the Grand
Jury revives the public memory upon the
question of the violations of the election
laws which took place in this county at
the last November elections of which the
Grand Jury for the November term failed
to take cognizance. The violations refer
red to were the giving of breakfasts to vo-
tiers near the voting places in all the dis
tricts, which was done last fall in accord
ance with the custom of those who direct
and control the colored voting population.
These feasts are organized the night be-
fore the election, and large numbers of the
colored voters congregate at the places of
holding them and have a riotous and hill
arious time during the night, and in the
morning partake of sumptuous breakfast
In time to walk up to the polls in riotous
body and deposit their ballots 1t must
have occurred to any citizen who has ever
witnessed this performance,th that it must be
a badly governed State in which such pro-
cedure is not prohibited by law; but it
seems that this method though uniformly
pracfised by the so-called Republican
leaders since the colored voters were first
organized, was never brought to the at
tention of the Grand Jury until the last
November term. 1t is an open violation
of the plain letter of Maryland statute
for such cases provided. When the mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
last Grand Jury they thought that, as the
law had never been enforced in late years
in this county, and as doubtless many of
them who offended against it were igno-
rant of its provisions, it would be rath-
er severe to punish them with heavy fine
under the circumstances 80 they deter
mined to let the matter drop. All the
Grand Jurors that we conversed with
were, however, firmly of opinion that now
that the law is generally known and has
beer published in the county paper, that
any future violations of it should be
promptly and fully punished. Perhaps
the determination of the last Grand Jury
should be acquiesced in by this coming
one, and that only future violations of
the law should be punished. 1t is prob
able that now that the provisions of the
law are generally known that no efforts
will oe made this fall to violate it.

very frequent calls m ide upon our imnedi tie

barrsSsment that We are already experiencing
by similar importuni'isS, serve to convince us
that everv public school house ia the countv
