1t will be remembered that at the
Corporation meeting last week COM
ttIittee was appointed to draft new
charter for the town of Oakland, the
committee to report to a meeting of
our citizens on the call of that COM
mittee. Wednesday morning it be-
came known throughout the town
that the committee had exceeded it's
authority and sent the charter to
Annapolis, without submitting the
matter to a meeting of citizens. A
meeting was at once called for We'd
nesday night. Shortly after this call
appeared another was posted by the
said committee calling meeting
Thursday evening. The meeting,
however. called for Wednesday even
my assembled in Sturgiss Hall and
was organized by calling Mr.. j. B.
Brant to the chair and electing Mr.,
Ed. H. Sincell secretary. Short adj
dresses were delivered by Col. J. w
Veitch. DIR. f. H. Bartlett and Mr.
Il. J. Peddicord, when the meeting
adjourned to meet this Thursday

insanity. bolstered up by grave pro-

Gov. McLane's Legislative Effects.

The Gov. has introduced a new
feature. Our Governors have gener-
ally presented their views to the Gen
era Assembly upon such subjects as
in their opinion needed legislation.
Gov. McLane not only does this. but,
out of kindly consideration for the
members, prepares the Bills which he
favors and has them presented for APP
proyal, Having determined to aspire
to the title of "the laboring mans
FRIEND" he has sent a number of
bills, regulating the length OF the
working day, the means of arbitration
between employer and employee, the
right of Trades Unions to combine,
&c. The text of these Bills has not
been given to the public, but they
have already created great excite
ment at our manufacturing centres.
l t is not very certain that they please
anybody as an entirety. and the gen.
erai impression is that they constitute
bid on the part of the Governor for
such influence as may give him q
boom big enough to seat him in the
U. 8. Senate, when Mr.. German,
having completed his term of office,
shall once more come before the Gen
eral Assembly and ask reelection.
The rofe now being attempted by the
Governor is really comical, when we
think how lily it harmonizes with his
antecedents and past habits. -Ffeder-

The Acquittal of Mutt.

The acquittal of young Mutt on the

have been foregone conclusion, and
it may also be said that it was the
direct consequence of the malfeasance
Of the jury that tried Dukes for the
murder of Nuts father. The whole
case was an exceptional one. Dukes
siandered the daughter and then kill

convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, and hanged, but he was acquit-

then the administration of Justice
broke down. and left an outraged and
injured family without vindicatiou
