The Old Gentleman Outwitted.-In the
Circuit Court here on Tuesday, proceedings were
commenced in a habeds corpus case of an inter-
esting as well as unusual character. Some ten
days ago Charles Cope, residing near Hampden,
9th district, appeared before Justice N. r. Dorsey
and made oath that his minor son, Charles W.
Cone naarly 10 years old, incorrigible and
-Deyofd his control and demanded that the youth
be committed to the House of Refuge. Subsequent
events, however, have disclosed the fact that the
young man was DESTROYS of marrying young
lady, Miss Mary Porter, aged about Is years, liv
ing in the neighborhood, and the fathers action is
attributed to that circumstance, as hewas violent
ly opposed to the match religious grounds
the proposed groom and his family being Catholics,
while the young lady is protestant.
The young man received warning of his fathers
action, and after several narrow escapes from ar
rest he finally succeeded in joining his afianced,
and through the services of the Rev. Mr.. Melvin,
Methodist minister, the happy pair were made
one, the ceremony being performed on the oath.
In the meantime the irate father had endeav-
ored to keep watch on his sons actions, and
though he failed to prevent the marriage he had
the youthful groom arrested by officer Powers, on
last Saturday and taken before Justice Dorsey.
After hearing, in which the youth proved a
most excellent character, he was committed to the
House of Refuge the alleged grounds above
stated, as being incorrigible and beyond his faith
er's control.
Counsel for young Cope appeared before Judge
Fowler on Tuesday and had writ of hdbeaS
corpus issued for the production of the petitioner
in Court, so that the question of his liberty may
be determined. The writ was made returnable
before Judge Fowler at o'clock Thursday morn
ing, but was postponed until to-day.

Eklo, 9th District.-The debating society at
RuhPs school house, elated by the success of a
few months practice, challenged the New Free
dom Literary Society for a competitive discussion
upon the following subject: "Resolred, That the
American people should honor Gen. Washington
more than Gen. Grant," which was accepted and
New Freedom choose the affirmative side. Last
Friday night (25th) was appointed as the time,
and RuhPs society arranged to add oyster fes-
tival, and to devote the proceeds to modelling
the old building. Messrs. John G. Donaldson and
Peter f. Wilhelm were selected by Ruhl's to ad-
vocate the negative side. The. former is teacher
of No. school, and the latter gentleman is well
known orator. The church was crowded and the
audience listened with interest to the good argu-
ments, ably presented by both sides.
The judges-Messrs. NJ. w. Balm, J. II. Nc
Culough and T. T. Benton-decided in favor of
the negative side. Gen. Washington did not
carry off much honor for being a slave holder
This was point well taken.
The literary exercises on the evening of the
Goth, consisted of competitive spelling bee by
some of the scholars of school No. 6, for beauti-
full prize, offered by Mr.. Donaldson, which was
won by Miss Lizzie, daughter of David Hoshall,
ESQ. Among those who have assisted to conduct
this debating society is Squire Bennett Hoshall,
the sold war; horse on such matters.
The 9th district claims to be the banner district
for the number of children, for reform in politics,
for the number of newspaper correspondents, for
its crops Of beans, blackberries and chinquapins,
and to which will soon be added its backwoods
orators. CIRCLE.

flow the "Belt" is to be Taken In.-In
his late message to the City Council, Mayor La
robe suggests the division of the "Belt into three
parts, for the purpose of elections to be held
different days on the question of annexation to
the city, in the bill which the Legislature will be
asked to pass for that purpose. The Mayor will
have bill prepared for legislative action in n
formity with the suggestions in the message. The
bill will define the bounds of the three sections, and
the elections will be appointed to be held in each
at intervals of several months. The three divi
sions which the Mayor has in mis- mind are as fol-
lows: For thenorthern division, the portion ofthe
"Bet' north of the city, and between the Reisters
town road on the west and the Hartford road on
the east. This would include Woodbury. and
Druid Hill Park. The western division would
include all the 'Belt to the west of the Reisters
town road and running southerly along the west
suburbs of the city. The eastern division
would include the portion of the "Bet'' east of
the Hartford road and running southerly along
the present eastern bounds of the city, including
Highlandtown, &c. Should, however, constitu-
tional convention be called this year that would
(says the Sum supercede the necessity for action
by this session of the Legislature, as a new con-
stitution would doubtless confer on the Legisla-
ture power to make such changes or extensions
in TIE limits of cities as the general public inter-
ests mand.
). "A -s-
Ii cold Town" Merchants,-The Old
fo~!s Merchants Association of Baltimore is
taking active steps to secure terminus in their
section of the city for the Maryland Central Rail-
road. At late meeting of the Association,
which was attended by the officers of the Rail
road Company, the subject was fully discussed
but no conclusions were reached. 1t is learned
that the Association then contemplates purchas-
ing suitable site in the centre of the business
portion of Old Town, whereon to erect depot
and lay the necessary tracks for the road, or to
make some provision by which the Maryland
Central can come into the depot upon the same
privileges that the Western Maryland Railroad
now enjoys. The advantage of the free omnibus
line from North Avenue station to Old Town is
apparent in the increase of business, and it is be-
lieved greater increase would follow if the ter
minus of the road was in that part of the city.
For generations the people of Hartford and Bal
timore counties have been accustomed to sell
their produce aud purchase supplies in Old Town,
and many of them would still prefer to go where
they have old social and business ties.

MAINE, TO-DAY.

The State of James G. BLAINE votes to-
dav. As was the case in Vermont, the
question seems TO be one OF majority for the
reason that at home it anywhere a presi-
Dental candidate should get large vote
from his own party, while State pride is apt
to keep more or less Of the other side from
voting against him.
1t will probably be conceded by almost
any one who cares to give the subject sec
ond thought that in Republican State,
with one of its own citizens running for
President, the majority should at least
equal any ever given in an of year for a
candidate for Governor, while it would
seem to many that it should equal any
majority ever given in presidential year.
General CHAMBERLAIN when running for
Governor in the of year had $1,000 ma
iority, and General GRANT for President,
had. we believe, rising 10000.
The Republicans Of Maine, or rather the

least 10000 to day The talk made by
some Of their number about being satisfied
with 10000 is all CANNON. 1t is blind,
put up for the purpose of allowing them to
say. providing they should carry the State
bv $4,000 to $4,000: Why behold what a
victory We expected only 10000 or Is
600, and we've got twice that" HANNrRAL
HAxLIS's sole mistake in declaring his be-
lief that Maine wOu d give $4,000 majority
was that he left no great margin to crow
over. He ought to have known that even
a man with clean record could not get
much over 10000.
The Democratic National COMMITTEES
has made no fight in Maine; the Republican
National Committee has sent hosts Of
speakers and thousands upon thousands o:
dollars there. The Republicans have made
every preparation to exceed Governor
CHAMBERLAIN of year majority Of 1000.

The Democrats WIN Hold the Fort In
West Virginia.
u...kr.nlos pnaf

HasAiagt0a Pos.
The campaign in West Virginia is get
ting decidedly warm, and will be red hot
before the end of next week. In no other
State, except in Maine, have the Republi-
cans concentrated their efforts so determin-
edly as in this State. 1t is known to be an
ardent desire Of Mr. Blaine to secure the
moral effect of an October Republican VIC
tory in West Virginia. To thus capture a
Democratic outpost, to break in on the
solidity of the South, Mr.. Blaine believes
would be worth great deal to his cause IN
the way of inspiration for other States. But
the West Virginia Democrats have not been
asleep nor have they failed to appreciate
their responsibility to the country at large.
They assure their friends in Washing ton
that they will hold the fort" and give sat
isfactory account of themselves. We have
no doubt of the tulfllment of this pledge.
