The stereotyped argument in ref
utatlon of these plain truths is, that
if the Republican element was really
in the majority they could not be
deprived of their rights and privil-
eges by a minority; but neither sta
tistics Of population, or the unavoid-
able logic of the situation, can be
overridden or escaped. The colored
people Of the South have recently
emerged from the bondage of their
present political oppressors; they
have had but few of the advantages
of education which might enable
them to compete with the whites.
AS / have heretofore maintained
in order to achieve the ideal perfec.
tion of a popular government, it is
absolutely necessary that the masses
should be educated. This PROPOSE
ton applies itself with full force to
the colored people of the South.
They must have better educational
advantages, and thus be enabled to
become the intellectual peers of their
white brethren, as many of them
undoubtedly already are. A liberal
school system should be provided
for the rising generation of the South,
and the colored people be made as
capable of exercising the duties ol
electors as the white people. In the
meantime it is the duty of the Ma.
tional Government to 60 beyond res
olutions and declarations on the
subject, and to take such action as
may lie in its power to secure the
absolute freedom of National elec.
tions everywhere, to the end that our
Congress may cease to contain mem.

JANETTE.
BY MILES o'REILLY.

Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Jaaette.
Let me tangle hand in your hair, my pet.
For the world to me had no daintier sight
Than your brown hair vailing your shoulders white
AS l tangled hand in your hair, nv pet.
1t was brown with golden gloss, Janette,
1t was finer than silk Of the floss, my pet;
Twas q beautiful mist falling down to your wrist,
Twas athng to be braided and jeweled and kissed !;
Twas the oveiiest hair in the world my pet.
My arm was the arm of clown, Janette.
1t was sinewy, brsted, and brown, my pet.
But warmly and softly it loved to caress
Your round white neck and your wealth of tress,
Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had a swimming glory, Janette,
Revealing the old, dear story my pet;
They were gray, with that chastened tinge of the
sky
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the fly,
And they matched with your golden hair, my pet.
Your lips-but have no words, Janette,
They were fresh as the twitter of BIRDS my pet,
When the spring is young and the roses are wet
With dewdrops in each red bosom set,
And they suited your gold-brown hair, my pet
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair Janette;
Twas silken and golden snare, my pet;
But so gentle the bondage my soul did implore
The right to continue your slave evermOre,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, Janette.
Thus ever dream what you were, Janette,
With your lips and your eyes and your hair, my pet,
In the darkness of desoate years 1 moan,
And tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

A VOICE FROM THE BELT.

January l4th, 1884.
Messrs Editors AS the question of annexing
the Belt to Baltimore city is now being agitated
by the people, few remarks by one deeply in
terested in the movement may not be altogether
out of place. / have been a resident in the Belt
part of the county for several years and I can
speak from experience when say that the coun
ty has done nothing for the Belt which can be
called material benefit The fire department
established in our midst is of no use whatever,
for every serious fire that has occurred had to be
put out by the city fire department. The police
force is utterly inefficient and much inferior to
the old system of constables and deputy Sherifs.
The lamps are not lighted at regular hours and
in many places are so far apart as to be a him
drance rather than help to travellers. The gar
bage gatherers so irregular in their visits and
SO impoite and offensive in their language when
spoken to about it that the stencil from the de
caying animal and vegetable matter Is moro tol-
Grant than their visits. The streets are never
cleaned and have been suffered to become worse
made and many of the alleys ore abomniable
pest holes and breeders of disease.
The sanitary doctors fail to enforce the rules
adopted to keep premises clean, and their visits
do no good because they lead to no improvement.
The public schools are so far away that we have
to keep our small children home or send them to
the city schools at cost Of "a. quarter. With
so many disadvantages, material, moral, social
and sanitary, is it any wonder that we are anx-
ious to become q part of the city, which will
give us efficient service in all the particulars
have mentioned. The people in the Belt will
vote two to one in favor of annexation If the
Legislature will give us chance to vote on the
question. L.

A SCHOOL NEEDED AT MT. VERNON
Mr.. VERNON. 9TH DISTRICT, Jan. 12. 1ss.

Mt. VERNON, 9TH DISTRICT, Jan. 12 1884.
Editors of"The Union We have advanced
one step in Importance in the eyes of the outside
world, for Uncle Sam has at last given us a post
Office and highly efficient and competent post
master. This right conferred upon US will soon
contribute to improve the literary taste of peo-
pie, and the daily and weekly papers, magazines,
&C., will find their way to the homes and frNsides
the oiti1ens of MI. Vernon. weIack vne.<hing, !,
that is greatly needed in our town, and thar is al
public school. few years ago, when Mr.. Albert
II. Carroll wes living, an effort was made to in
duce the School Commissioners to establish pub
lie school here, but for some reason they refused
to do it. Now q change has taken place in the
School Board, and we have new School Commits
sioners. This is change for the better for US,
the old School Commissioners would never have
done anything for us, and the new may grant
what we are so sorely in need of, and have been
for some years back.
Our children have farther to 60 to school than
those of Woodberry, Sweet Air Hill, Hampden or
Cross Keys. Because they are compelled to go to
schools at distance they have crowded Mr..
O'Hara's and Mr.. Whites schools so much that
additional rooms had to be rented to accommodate
them.
What dislike could the old School Commission
ers have against the people of Mt Vernon that
warped their judgment against giving us school.
although compelled to rent two rooms at these
other schools to accommodate our children? We
asked for what we considered our right to have.
but they refused our request and pigeon hoed our
petition. Since application for school house
our population has greatly increased and the need
for school has increased with it. We doubt if
there is another place in the county where there
is more urgent necessity for school to be estab-
lished. Mr.. Clark, who is the School Commits
sioner for our district. will not let our people
suffer if there is any way to supply our wants.
If school is established at Mt. Vernon there will
be need for renting rooms at the other schools,
for it is to accommodate children that it is
done. IT rooms have to be rented for this purpose
thesy hould be rented where they will be most con
venient to the children. Wehope Mr.. Clark will be
able to do for us what the old School Commission
er refused to do, and he will gain the heartfelt
thanks of many patrons. S.

acts. If nothing else, would in themselves establish

acts, nothing else, would in themselves establish
the practical character of our members.
The bill to prevent the adulteration OF butter
and forbidding the sale of oeomargarlne and but
terine, coming as it does also from Baltimore
county, will be followed up by bills upon other
needed reforms, having particular reference to the
Treasurers Office Sheriff's Office the jury system,
the printing operations, all tending in the difec'
ton of economy and the true interests OF the coun
ty taxpayers.
Upon the motion to adjourn the session until
Tuesday, Mr.. Offutt made the point that the
United States law did not allow OF any adjourn
ment for more than one day. 1t was contended.
He was in error in this, because to go to the bot
tom Of the matter it would be actual interfer-
ence with the supreme power of each State to reg
ulate and govern itself. Mr.. Wiener made this
point against him, followed by Mr.. Handy, who,
claimed that the regulation was directory and not
mandatory. Take it altogether, the debate on the
point of order the most interesting yet sprung,
as it involved the questions of expediency, pro-
prety and States Rights tumbled up together,
and was confined mostly to the Democratic side.
The Speaker finally decided that the point of order
was not we'll taken, but suggested that an appeal
should be taken from his decision, as he would
like to know the sense of the House. An appeal
was taken and the decision of the Speaker was
overruled and the House sustained Mr.. Oifutt's
point of order.

A COUNTRYMAN'S VIEW OF 1T.

TENTH DISTRICT, January 18th, 1884.
Messrs Editors Il have been trying for some
time to make up my mind to write my views on
the Belt question. For some years it has been
bone of contention between the city and cour ty,
and the elections, in recent times, in oCr county,
more than formerly, have been conducted more on
the principle of what good be done for the Belt
rather than on the principle of doing fairly and
acting Justly toward all. When any of our citi-
zens drop a word favoring the annexation Of 4
part of the county to the city in the hearing oft
politicians who live by the spoils of Office, we are
at once threatened with the dire result of high
taxes and higher valuation Of our property, be-
cause the extension of the city limits will bring
nearer to the city and consequently increase our
assessments. think it is the fear that these over
paid officials of the Court House may have their
enormous salaries down to sensible figures
that make them shake these terrors before u.s.
They say if the districts surrounding the city
taken off the county the remaining districts would
not be able to manage the affairs of the county in
a respectable way. This is not proposed; but if
it was and carried out, it would carry off the Court
House with all its greedy officials, and that would
be the greatest blessing the remaining part of the
county could have bestowed upon it. The sooner
that could be accomplished the better it would be
for all concerned in the welfare of the county.
As far as the Belt is concerned, we outside of it
give back in taxes much as We receive, at least
that is my opinion; and ii we did not is it not an
unjust principle to force people with their proper
ty to remain with us just for the taxes we can COL
lect from them? If the people who live in that
favored locality have moved into it to escape city
taxation, I say they should be made to pay their
taxes where they make their money and earn their
living This same class, if the city limits
tended, prompted by the same selfish motives that
induced them to locate in the Belt, would move to
the new Belt which the extension would create
Whether they wonld be benefit or not, the coun-
ty uld still have them residents within her
borders. So much for them.
The necessity for higher taxation if the city
limits were extended would not necessarily fol-
low. We areaready taxed for numerous luxuries
which the Belt enjoys, that we country people are
not benefited by in any way. We are taxed for
a fire department for lamps, oil and gas, for
police force, for sanitary officers, for garbage men,
&C.. &c. These services cost about $4,000, for
which we are taxed without receiving any equiva-
lent whatever. The heaviest part of the Court
business comes from the city borders, and we have
to pay our share of that part of the Court expenses
also. If the city succeeds in getting what proper
ly belongs to her by the annexation of the Belt
she desires, the rest of the county will be gamer
by the operation. That is the opinion of your
humble servant II.

Ms-In nutshell (says the Baltimore Ameriean)
the Senatorial question in the Maryland Legisla-
ture is this: The Eastern Shore claims the right
10 send one of its favorte sons to the United States
Senate: the Western Shore insists on naming this
Eastern Shoreman. The Eastern Shore would
rather have Western Sho-eman than one OF its
own men whom it doesn't want; but the Western
Shore understands better how to fix things. The
situation may seem complicated but this is the
kew that will unragl all the complexities.
