esty and purity of motive no man
could doubt.
A born rcformcr, he after the war,
espoused first the Green-back cause,
and later that of Temperance and the
Labor question, eloquently pleading
the cause of the working man. The
wrongs of Ireland were wildly por-
trayed by him and in whatever cause
he engaged he was always bold, elo-
quent and aggressive. He knew no
half way measures, and when convinced
of the Justice of his cause he threw
into it all the force and fire of his Won
derful nature.

GOVERNOR MCLANE received large
delegation of working men at Annapo-
lis on Tuesday last. While there is
some merit in what he recommends in
relation to labor legislation, there is still
taint of demagogism about the Gov
ernor's sudden affection for the working
classes, with whom he has in his life
time been so little identified. The Gov
ernor has already learned enough OF
upblic sentiment in relation to the pas
sage of an eight hour law, to recede from
his advocacy of its passage, as he did
in his speech on Tuesday. There is
really no necessity for the passage of a
law in Maryland, to-day, limiting days
work to eight hours. That fact recent
discussion has shown, conducted in a
spirit as friendly and impartial towards
the workingman as to the capitalist.
For the protection, however, of women
and children against the cupidity Of
employers, we think there is necessity
for such law as limits the period of a
days work.

RAILROADS.

Mr. EditQr:
In THE WHIG of last Saturday | saw
an article head. d Railroads in 1889, ="
which recalled my earliest recoliectiors
of railroads. Matthew Boland, of tl.is
county, had contract on the Baltimore
and Ohio Road in 1880. and he informed
me that could get situation with the
engineers ON that road if would come
down.
1t was early in December, 1880. that
took the steamboat at Frenchtown for
Baltimore, in company with John S.
Matlitt, Esq, who was then Fish Inspector
for Baltimore, that Office being then
quite an object, as large quantities of
herrings, shad, and other salted fish we've
then sold in Baltimore: the quantity Of
herrings sold in single season had
amounted to hundred and twenty five
thousand barrels-the inspection of her
rings was > cents barrel, and shad and
mackerel 10 cents. The inspector had to
brand his name on the head of eve:y
barrel, and had made the brand for Mr..
Maffitt's name, and was that far con
nected with the inspection. | remember
that there was an f lglish gentleman on
board the boat, and he was speaking of
the trial-trip on the Liverpool and Man
chester Railroad, which had recently
taken place, and which, think, was the
first railroad in England; and l am not
now positive whether steam was used Oh
the trial-trip or not, but by some acci
dent Mr.. IIusk kisson, Mp. who had
taken an active interest in The road, was
killed.
At that time steam was not used on
railroads in the United States. | rode
from Baltimore to Ellicott City in a car
drawn by horses; they changed at the
Relay House. and from that it took its
name. The road was not finished any
farther than ElIicott City, and | stopped
with the engineer at Sykes Mills (now
called Sykesville). Philip L. Thomas
was tue President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and Caspar
Weaver chief engineer. y young man
named Vance, graduate of Captain
Partridge's Military Academy, had
charge of the corps where | stopped, and
an elderly gentleman named Miller was
his assistant. Stone blocks were put
under the rails, which were fiat, iron
bars, with holes counter-sunk for the
na Is, and holes drilled i'll the stones were
filled with locust pins, into which the
nails were driven, but the stone blocks
would spread apart, ana iron rods had to
be used to hold them together.
Great improvemel IS has been made |
in railroadlng since those days. MCC.

FROZEN TRUTH,

Whatever opinion may be held gen.
orally in regard to Readjusterism and
other isms in Virginia, it can hardly be
supposed that Senator Malone could
have the temerity to make such an ap-
peal as the following before the United
States Senate in advocacy of the reso-
luton calling for an investigation of the
Danville and Copiah county riots, un-
less there was some truth in the state
ments therein embodied. If they are
true, they are certainly FROZEN TRUTHS,
and should be thawed out under the
heat of thorough investigation. The
Senator said:
At no time in the glorious history of
Virginia, until the late canvass and cleo
tion for the Legislature, had the senti-
ment found root with any party that
political ends may be achieved by such
fostering methods as gave rise to the
Danville massacre. The leaders of a
political faction, ambitious for place and
desiring to dominate over a people who
had repeatedly repudiated them and
their shifting principles. openly advised
The Cecil Whig., 1884-02-09

any resort which might give them
power. That reign of terror and law
lessness suppressed and superseded the
functions of the civil law, the chief
magistrate of the commonwealth, in his
general message to the Legislature, had
sufficiently borne witness. The action
of the Danville Grand Jury only com
pleted the picture of tue helplessness of
the law and the hopelessness of Justice.
The time had come, when from failure
of the local authorities, the National
Government should intervene for the
protection and vindication of the rights
Of its citizens. Faction leaders, for
their own purposes. had set Cn foot a
shotgun scheme to compel irresolute
and timid voters to indorse at the polls
principles which hal already been re-
pudiated. This investigation, if ordered,
would expose these methods. Where
should the inquiry be instituted, il not
here? Ii a state enjoyed representation
in Congress on the faith that suffrage
was free, it was breach OF faith with
other states in the Union to deprive any
class, or any part of any class, of the
right to exercise the suffrage freely.
Bondage, personal Or political, is
fearful evil in Il free community. Moth
ing more degrades a man than living
among freemen, himself . slave. Even
the very earth, which teens profusion
| under the cultivating hand of free labor,
shrinks into barrenness from the con
taminating sweat of the slave, and who
is it that is not slave whose liberty is
restrained in contravention of the rights
guaranteed to all' | rejoice that per-
sonal slavery is no longer lcgalized. and
that all men are liberated to an even
chance in the race of life to which God
and nature have given them The title.
In Virginia the celored people ask no
more, and the white man there who
envies him this privilege and apprehends
his supremacy. reproaches the intelli
gence and manhood OF his own race.

human rights which have been COM

PHILADELPHIA Republicans are now

PHILADELPHIA Republicans are now
engaged in a fierce and desperate
struggle for Mayor and other city Off
cials, with little or no support from
newspapers claiming to be Republi-
can. They are opposed by a united
Democracy, supported by the Demo
cratic press; and in such an uneven
contest, the chances for success are
doubtful. The PRESS, which aforetime
has called itself the leading Republi-
can paper of that city, gives wishey-
washey, half-and-half cold-shouldered
support to the ticket, and helps the
cause of the opposition by giving non
sensical and childish reasons why it
should be defeated, while all the real
good, substantial ones are kept in the
background. Oftentimes men have
had cause to exclaim, "Save us from
our friends !" and this would be very
proper cry for Philadelphia Republi-
cans, as applied to its newspapers.
The Cecil Whig., 1884-02-09

The flood season is again upon us.
Pittsburg is being drenched by the
swollen Allegheny. Cincinnati and other
cities on the Ohio are in state of ter
ror and alarm and the Susquehanna is
filling up and overaowing its bounds.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
lost in these floods, and whole sections
are desolated. Fears were entertained
that the floods would equal last years
in severity, but the outlook now is more
assuring, and hopes of escape with COM
paratively little loss are entertained.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

Wendell Phillips, one of the most
eloquent, fearless and aggressive cham
pions or the down-trodden and op-
pressed one of the most bitter
and untiring opponents of slavery
while it existed in our land, died in
Boston on Saturday last, not bowed
down by the weight of years, but while
yet almost as vigorous and active as
ever, though seventy-three years of age.
He first became widely known about
rS47, when he, supported by William
Lloyd Garrison, in the newspaper called
The L1BERAToR, began his crusade
against slavery. He entered this work
with the determination of devoting his
entire life to it if necessary, and the
many hard blows he struck that insti-
tuition nightly helped on its downfall.
He very soon took the place of
leader in this cause, and held it until
victory perched upon its banners. His
fame quickly became world wide, and
his utterances, as given by the news
papers, we're eagerly looked for. He
was always in the advance and undoubt
edly possessed wonderful foresight, for
long before such thing as general
emancipation was thought of by many
of our leading Statesmen of the times,
he foretold its adoption and recon-
mended the liberation of the bondsmen
by the President as war measure. The
reluctance of Mr.. Lincoln to issue the
proclamation brought about the differ
ence between him and Mr.. Phillips,
which at one time waxed very warm.
Many differed from him, but his hon

THE SOUDAN SLAUGHTER.

Details of Baker Pasha 5 Defeat-His Forces
Overpowered by Smaller Number.
Latest advices from London to New
York papers bring more and more par
ticulars of the disastrous defeat of Baker
Pasha in the Soudan. The slaughter of
his forces continued all the way back to
Trinkitat. The Egyptians were panic
stricken and fell upon their knees, but
their appeals for mercy were fruitless.
The Arabs seized them by the necks,
thrust their spears into their backs and
savagely cut their throats. The En-
glishmen missing are Marice Bey, Sur
geon Leslie, Captains, Forester and
Walker and Lieutenants Carroll, Smith
and Watkins. Ten other foreign officers
are missing. The tugitives huddled
together ON the shore at Trinkitat and
might easily have been slaughtered, but
the enemy gave over the pursuit. The
men embarked as quickly as possible
upon six transports, which were lying
there. and with Baker Pasha and Col
onel Sartorius arrived at midnight at
Saukim. Intense excitement prevails in
Suakim to-day. An attack of the enemy
is expected. The forts are occupied by
English marines. Admiral Peyron,
| French Minister of Marine, has ordered
the commander of the Levant naval stat
TO la Il. al, T,,ra
to Suakim.
Baker Pasha has telegraphcd to Sir
Evelyn Barring, British Minister at
Cairo, that the force by which he was
attacked was less than a thousand
strong, but the Egyptians threw away
their arms and fled.
A Suakim dispatch reports that the
enemy have surrounded and destroyed
! Tewik Bey and .our hundred followers
between Sinkat and the coast. This diSas
ter was not unexpected For many weeks
Tewiik Bey has been maintaining an OBJ
stinate resistance in Sinkat, closely
beset on all sides with enemies, in the
hope that forces would be sent to his
relief. Word from him reached Suakim
on Thursday last, announcing that if re-
lief did not arrive by Saturday he should
make a desperate effort to cut his way
through the enemy to the coast. as his
condition forbade the further att empt to
hold the town.
All the special dispatches agree that
Tokar and Sinkat are hspelessly lost.
The fact that the British sunboats have
left Trinkitat creates Dad impression
upon the minds of the Egyptians and en-
courages the rebels in their fanaticism.
The rebels captured five guns, 3G, ,0O0
pounds of cannon ammunition, 5000
rifles and an enormous quantity of car
tridges.
The scene at Suakim is described as
painful one. The wives of many of the
dead soldiers have been bewailing their
loss and tearing their hair and clothes in
their anguish. The one thousand sailors
on board the transport Oroutes, now at
Suez, have been ordered to Saukim.
New and strong entertainments are be-
| ing made at Suakim. There are 5000
men, including the survivors of the re-
cent battle, available for the defense of
the town, but they are in a demoralized
condition. Marice Bey and Dir. Leslie
fell together in the fight after a desperate
resistance. The 1870 sailors who have
been landed here occupy strong posi-
ton with Gattling guns.
