The spread OF this frightful pesti-
lence in Europe Is becoming alarm
ing to the people of the United States.
The government at Washington have
taken such precautionary measures as
were thought advisable, and if proper
efforts are made by the various local
authorities along our seaboard, the
scourge may be kept from our shores.
Our City Council ought to see to it,
in time, that our streets should be
kept clean, all cesspools properly
cleansed. all stagnant waters and
filth and whatever may create dis
ease, removed beyond our city limits,
and strict sanitary measures enforced
during the approaching dog days

General Measurers of Oysters.

As the time draws near for the ap-
pointment Of the oyster measurers
under the late acts OF Assembly, ap-
plicants are putting in their claims for
the places. Yesterday quite number
were here from Baltimore city, urging
the appointments of certain parties to
the places. Although only five are
to be appointed for Baltimore city,
the applications from Baltimoreans,
it is stated, number fully one hundred,
and each mail brings accessions to
the list of applicants. The Governor
has not yet signified his preference as
to whom he will appoint, but it is
stated that Mr.. John b. Nichols, a
commission merchant of Baltimore,
in whose interest a delegation from
this county recently waited on the
Governor, expects to be one of the ap-
pointees.

Mr.. p. III Tuck, administrator of
Judge VIM. H. Tuck, has given notice
to the County Commissioners, that
he has entered suit for $3.50 for pro-
fessional services his father rendered
in the Severn River Bridge case
The board paid the judge $3.50, but
the administrator holds that the
agreement was $500, and that the
other counsel in the case, Messrs. F..
II. Stockett and M. Bannon were
paid $500 each. Judge Tuck was too
ill to take part in the argument at the
final hearing, but one of the counsel
could not nave spoken because the
Court limited the speeches to two.
The president of the board on Tues
day, told the administrator that Mes
sers. Bannon and Stockett were al
lowed $500, because they had render
ed the board services before legisla-
tive committees.

SOuth River Bridge.

There has been considerable CON-
plant by our farmers living on the
south side of South River bridge For
a week or more, we are told, they
could not get across, and were thus
denied the privilege of bringing their
produce to market, or even getting to
the city themselves except by private
conveyance. There is great deal of
indignation over this matter, and we
are informed the residents of that Sec
ton intend laying their grievances
before the County Commissioners at
their next meeting.

Interesting RemImscences.

Mrs. Eliza Bonsal, a lady now in
her 50 year, who is so active that
she assists in and superintends the
binding of all the briefs and records
of the Court of Appeals, that are
printed in Annapolis, has in her pos
session an invitation she received to
the ball given to La Fayette, when
he was here, during his visit to Amer

VIM. Kelly, Addison Ridout, Thos.

given that night in Mcdowell Hall,
St. Johns college. The next night
the town was illuminated, and, on
Sunday, by invitation, La Fayette
attended the Methodist Episcopal
Church, where the Rev. Mr.. Bascom
preached The church was crowded
with citizens of every denomination
and, when the services were over,
the people pressed forward to shake
hands with the illustrious Frenchman,
among whom was Mrs Bonsal, then
Miss Weems. Mrs. Bonsal is a near
relative of the Rev. Mr. Weems, the
pastor and first biographer of Wash

Who is He 4!

The Annapolis correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes
"Some of the members of the board
have become amused as we'll as indig-
nant at the receipt of letter from an
Anne Arundel county applicant for
police steamer, who threatens to bolt
the party nominations if his claims
are not recognized in the appoiut-
ments for the State Fishery Force
From the expressions of those familiar
with the workings of the Board Of
Public Works it is considered that the
writer of the letter will most likely be
allowed to put his threat into execu-
tion." Who is the man that holds
his democracy at the price of an office?
Let the correspondent or the Board
of Public Works give his name to the
public. We are as curious to see
him as Blind Tom was anxious "to
see man with a cinder in his eye."

The Short Line RniIroad.

The work of the engineers on this
road, we learn, have been so nearly
completed, that but one engineer and
his assistants are now employed. The
capitalists who undertook last spring
to build the road, still assert, we are
informed, that the road shall be built
at an early day. We hope so for with
out more direct railroad connections
with business centres, Annapolis can
not hope to attract capital and enter
prise and without these, the conun-
drum-How do half the inhabitants
obtain living ?-must remain unan-
swered.

tion to do as he may have mind to do, is
simply impairment and ridiculous. His ac-
ton az the agent of the board would be sim
ply that of an agent, not that of principal
and involve no personal or official response
bity, except to carry out the instruction of
his principal in good faith.
Before Mayor Deering is invested with
even formal discretion, it ought to be well
understood what he intends to do with it,
IL Is not enough to know what he will not
do; but 1t is also essential to know what he
Will do,-because the city has much at stake
In this business. Suppose, for example, that
he should elect in place of Mr.. Thomas some
one whose interests in the management of
that property were antagonistic to the inter-
ssts of the city. There are men who hold
large amount of the bonds of the road as
private investment, whose private interests
might, under conceivable circumstances,
conflict with the public interests in the man
agement of the property. We do not be-
lieve it would be thought wise to make such
person director. There are persons
quite disnterested, so far as their personal
investments are concerned, who would not
be generally regarded as wise and safe custo-
dams of such trust, and whom the major
ity OF the Board of Aldermen would not vote
for if they knew what they were doing. We
mention these hypothetical conditions to
| show how right and reasonable it is that
there should be a clear understanding be-
fOrAhQpd u1of he ,,L,
may be chosen to act for the city, will do.
II Mr.. Thoma, is not reelected, it Is essen
tial that some equally capable man should
be put in his place, somebody who will
cooperate with, and notthwart, the other di
rectors in efferts to develop this property for
| the public benefit.
Perhaps Mr.. Thomas is not the only di.
rector to whom the Mayor objects. Shall
he be given power to revolutionize the or
| ganization and government of the road? Let
him announce fully what he will do If he is
given discretionary power. We believe not
only that 1t is right and proper, but that it is
the duly of the board of Aldermen to deter
mine who shall be directors and to instruct
their agent if they shall appoint one. The
responsibility rests as directly on each one
OF them as it does Oh the Mayor, and until
they have delegated their duty and authori-
ty every one of them, as to this business, is as
much the executive officer of the city as the
Mayor is When he talks as if he had an
Independent duty and prerogative regarding
this election which make it improper to
give HIM instructions, it is simply the fool
iSh rant of conceit without warrant in law or
reason. It'll quite pertinent to ask the
questions: Why does he want to be trusted
olindlyP What object has he in concealipg
his purposes?

Nominations for Judge

The Biddeford journal adds to the list of
gentlemen already mentioned as suitable
successors to Judge Barrows on the su-
preme bench, the name of Hon. John NJ
Goodwin, and says his appointment would
AFFORD great satisfaction to the people Of
York county. The Bangor Commercial
suggests the name of John Varney, Esq, of
Bangor. So far, five counties have present.
ed candidates.
The Rockland Opinion is the first, and
only, paper to impugn the good faith of Re-
publican journals in suggesting the selec-
ton of Democrat for the vacancy. It pro-
fesses to regard the recommendation of the
Hon. William L. Putnam as simply "feint
at fairness" intimating that it would not
have been made bad 1t been believed
that he would accept. If a Democrat is
appointed, it predicts that he will be
nominal Democrat or a Blaine Demo-
crat," terms which it seems to regard as in
Interchangeable, but does not very clearly de-
fine. AS far as we can make out, however,
nominal Democrat" in the opinion of
the Rockland paper, is a Democrat, who,
when sitting as judge, decides questions
on their merits or in accordance with well
settled rules of Law, while the Democrat
in whom the Opinion believes is man who,
when sitting as judge may be relied on to
decide evtly question in which Mr.. Blaine
may be expected to feel an interest in way
to meet Mr.. 'Blaine's aisapproval.
Perhaps the Opinion has Democrat Of
that kind in mind. Certainly none of those
30 far mentioned fill the bill.
We should be sorry to see Democrat or a
Republican appointed to the Supreme Court
bench who would be more politician than a
Judge. We do not believe the Judges now on
that bench are warped in their administra-
ton of the law by their former political re-
lations; but we think there ought to be a
representation in the court of both parties,
chosen not because they are party men but
because they are qualified by learning, abili-
ty, integrity and Independence for the place.
In the present circumstances the appoint
ment of such man as Mr.. Putnam or an
other equally honorable and fairminded law
yer whose political associations have been
with the Democratic party would be prop
er action and ought to be gratifying to a
majority of the people. Judgeships ought
not to be rewards for political service but
for professional eminence and wisdom.
But men may be forgiven for having little
confidence in the wisdom of any.lawyer who
volunteered to support the monstrous fraud
knogn as the State steal.
