why IN It :?

Recently, and more especially since
those unpleasant discoveries" in the
County Commissioners Board, the
question has been propounded to US
as to why it is that the itemised ac-
count of the annual county levy Of
this county is not published and made
public at an early date after the levy
is so made, instead of postponing the
publication thereof until late in the
fall of the year? We are not able
to answer the question, but should
like to be informed authoritatively
why it is thus.

1t is no doubt a true sign that
whenever you see person possess
ing or cultiyating a taste for rear
ing of flowers that he or she is an
admirer of the beautiful, and is the
fortunate possessor of generous char
acteristics. Our attention was called
quite recently, to the beautiful flower
garden of Mr. James Tier, on Glou-
cester street, in this city, aud, like a
cat charming bird, we were 10th
to cease admiring it. 1t is certainly
the loveliest flower garden that has
been presented to our view for long
time and one worthy of admiration

No Steamboat on the 4th.

The Maryland Steamboat Company
have advertised to run the steamer
Saml. j. Pentz, on the 4th of July
between Baltimore and Bay Ridge,
leaving out Annapolis entirely. Now
this apparent slight, Annapolitans
will by no means appreciate. Why,
we ask, does the Maryland Steamboat
Company make this invidious dis
tinction as to our city? Our people
have been liberal ia their patronage
to that company. We hope the COM
pany will allow the Pentz to stop in
here as an intermediate point.

Court Of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals met to-day
to deliver opinions in the cases yet
remaining undecided from the April
Term, There are nine of these cases.
Chief Judge Alvey delivered the
opinion of the Court in the case of
Bridget Burns and others VS.. John
w. Gallagher and others. This case
was tried below before the Judge in
the Superior Court without the as
sistance of a jury and the finding was
for the plaintiff The question for the
Court of Appeals was whether there
was evidence legally sufficient to be
considered. Court of Appeals decides
that there was and affirms the iudg-
ment.
Judge Stone delivered the opinion
of the Court in the case of Michael T.
Kean, use of Charles Ridgely VS..
George Doerner, claimant. The de-
cision of this case depended on the
solution Of two questions. First,
whether claimant of money in the
hands IF a garnishee has the right to
come in by petition and claim the
money, and have his rights to it de-
cided by Jury; and secondly, wheth.
er the act of 1876, chapter 2S5, points
out the only mode by which claim
ant can now come in and establish
his right to property attached, or
whether this act is only an additional
remedy to those already existing
The Court decides a claimant has a
right in himself to have his claim to
monies attached decided by a jury,
and the Act of 1876, chapter 2S5,
duly gives the claimant additional
powers, and restricts none of his
rights.
Judge Irving delivered the opinion
OF the Court of Appeals in the case
of the b, & O. r. Il. Co. VS.. State
use of Grace NJ. Allison, by her next
friend Catharine Bentz. This case in
wolves the liability of the railroad for
the death of Mr. j. Allison, who was
killed July 8, 1881, near the New
York cutoff of the B. & o. r. II. He
was evidently in liquor at the time,
and no one knew how he got on the
road. The lower Court held the
ordinance of the city requiring the
bell to ring, applied to uninhabited
and swampy parts of the city, and
where there were no streets and
crossing. The Court of Appeals re-
verses this.

Review orour oyster Navy.

The Maryland Oyster Navy, COM
prisiug eight sloops and the steamer
Governor Hamilton, made an impos-
ing appearance in our harbor this
morning
The Governor, Secretary of State
Milligan, the Comptroller and Treas
urer, boarded the steamer Hamilton, !"
Commander Waddell, accompanied
by the representatives of the press,
and a few invited guests, steamed
out into the harbor aud at the signal
ofthe whistle, the deputy commanders
repaired to the Hamilton where Gov
ernor McLane addressed them as fol-
lows, saying: That the service was no
longer to be political organization
that it must be efficient in all its
works; that the deputy commanders
had the authority to discharge any of
their crew for inefficiency, .insobordi-
natian, and disobedience oforders, aud
the commander had the same power
over all. If one oftbe deputy COM
manders found an inefficient man he
must discharge him. 1t was the duty
of the deputy commanders to make
the service efficient as possible-they
owed this to the State, to their party
and the administration.
Treasurer Compton stepped for
ward and said that he endorsed every
word the Governor had said.
Comptroller Turner also gave his
approval, and said the time had come
when the tone Of the oyster navy
must be raised above it's present
standing, aud it was the intention of
the State to make it what it should
ee--a protection to the Maryland
oyster beds.
Commander Waddell then address
ed the deputy commanders saying
"He would exercise his authority as
an officer, not as an individual. He
had no personal spite to crafty and
no enmlties to appease; and whatever
orders he would issue, in the DISPOSE
tion of the forces, would be for the
good of the State that the law must
pe enforced regardless OF politics"
The schooner "Julia Hamilton:n
and sloops Franklin, Hines and
White" will go on the railway here
for repairs. Tomorrow Commander
Waddell will inspect the feet, person.
ally, to see what repairs the other
vessels may need
After the review was over. the
deputy commanders paid their re-
spects to Commander Waddell, at his
Office in the State House, and among
them was Deputy Commander
Hance, who after some compliment
tary remarks said: Commander Wad-
dell, | am agreeably disappointed in
you. From all had heard of YOU /
took you to be man of tyrannical
disposition" Commander WaddelI
smiled and replied: "WeIl, Captain.
perhaps you have not known me

Owens and 81 Nickerson stole eight horses from
the Benton & Billings Stage Company, Rock
Springs Station, one hundred miles northeast of
Helena John Davis, superintendent of the
stage line, pursued them down Muscle Shell
river. When fifty miles below the station he
was told by cowboys that the thieves had passed
with the horses a few hours before. Fifteen
cowboys volunteered to follow the trail The
thieves were overtaken Thursday thirty miles
north of Blacks ranch, and attacked. The cow
boys were driven back, being armed only with
revolvers, while the horse-thieves had rifles.
Men were sent to camp for guns, and the fight
was renewed. 81 Nickerson was shot dead and
Ed Owens wounded, captured and hung Will
lam Jones and Tim Devlin, cowboys, were
wounded
On Thursday three men, names unknown,

camped for the night The men on the round
up" were notified by m, senger They armed

o'clock on Friday morning. The thieves were
ordered to throw up their hands, but refused,

ciliary visits are made nightly, and the resi-
dences of some of the most eminent citizens
have been invaded, without warning by the
police, in the hope of discovering assemblages of

The woman arrested at Elberfeld, on suspi

has batfied all attempts to extort discriminating

for one moment thrown off her guard. The

became, and the spy was the only one to get
fuddled, and to reveal her true character

GERMAN MENACE TO ENGLAND.
A Painful Impression Produced by News
paper Utterance.

A Painful Impression Produced by News
paper Utterance.
LONDON, June pa painful impression has
been produced in England by pertinent and
bitterly menacing utterance from Germany, con-
trived, apparently, to appear just at time when
it might prove most exasperating. 1t is from
the Cologne Gazette, which often speaks by au-
thority, and consists of an editorial upon the
conference The article boldly states that the
understanding reached between England and
France concerning Egyptian affairs in the con-
ference is undoubtedly due to their common ha-
tired of Germany
England" the Gazette says, "aims at leader
ship everywhere that it can be attained without
assuming the burdens of the costly ornaments
which other powers find necessary for the protec-
ton of their national interests. Mr.. Gladstone"
the article continues, ''perceives that France
must be useful to England some day in the near
future, as sort of shield bearer, and on this ac
count he has Unanswered to pledge France to-
wards British designs" In conclusion, the Ga
zette insinuates that 'England's hurry in calling
the Egyptian conference is due principally to her
fears that Germany may reopen the question OF
the Dutch succession, and to her desire to secure
European partnership which may be extended
to the Dutch question if it come up. This utter
ance is believed to have been directly inspired
from Berlin, and is attracting widespread atten-
ton.
