THE GOVERNORS APPOINT
MENTS.

The list of appointments tor the
counties was sent in to the Senate by
Governor McLane on Wednesday last
and the agony is over. The list for
this county is just about as has been
announced heretofore in political cir
cles here, and there was consequently
little or no surprise. 4 good many
persons thought that Squire James \.
Lewis would be retained in view of the
fact that he has proven himself 4 most
efficient official, but the pressure upon
the Governor was too great, and the
axe had to fall upon his official neck.
The appointments in this county are
generally acceptable with the party
though in few cases it is thought
more capable men might have been
selected. There is good many
changes throughout the county, though
it is not clean sweep. Three only
out Of the nine Registers of Voters
were retained These are Ferguson
of the 1st, Mahon of the 4th, and Lowe
Of the 5th district. Changes in the
office of Magistrate was made in the
sd, 4th, 9TH, Sth and 9th districts, though
but one in each was removed in the
9TH and 9th districts Both members
of the Ducking Police are new men.
only two of the old notaries are re-
tanned, Vandiver of Port Deposit, and
Sheppard of Rising Sun, Coroner
Litzenberg still holds the fort.

The financial discussion now going
on in the Senate shows very thoroughly
that no division is likely to take place
on party lines. 1t is not many years
since such a discussion would have at
tracted the deepest attention of the
country. Crossroads politicians every
where would have been ready to repeat
the senatorial arguments at second
hand to eager auditors all over the
land. The piping times of ':green-
backism," " "fiat money" and the other
financial isms which at one time threat
ened to disrupt parties have gone, how
ever, and, important as the question
before the Senate may be, it eNcites no
more than passing interest.

VIEWS OF MIR. SHERMAN.

The n. y. Mail AND EMPRESS has
printed an interview with Senator Sher-
man on the Tariffquestion. The Sena-
tor thinks Congress ought to let the
subject severely alone. He said fur
ther. that the laws enacted by the Re-
publican party for the past twenty-four
years show that it has been from the
beginning, and is now, in favor of pro-
tective duties, with the view to diver
sify our industries. 1t was almost GER
tain that were the Democrats in power
they would take ground against all sys-
tenn of protection. He thought that
free trade, as expressed by some col
lege professors and P5iitil P5o5ihitlical theorists,
would be utterly destructive to the
BUSINESS interests of the country and
would produce the same stagnation in
trade and financial ruin that followed
the tendency to free trade in 1887 and
1887. IL

The revival of the crime of garroting
in New York has started Il discussion
as to the punishment that ought to be
meted out to the Williams who compress
the throats of their victims while they
pick their pockets, and the lash has
been recommended even by some OF
the judges of the New York criminal
courts. Two years ago the Maryland
Legislature passed law providing that
when a man has been convicted of
"brutally" beating his wife the court
may order him to be whipped or I'M
prisoned. Forty lashes is the maxi
mum punishment. The first man who
was convicted of wife beating in the
Baltimore city Criminal Court and SEN
fenced to receive thirty-nine lashes
under this act took his case to the
Court of Appeals. The Court of Ap-
peals overruled the appeal and or
dered the conviction and sentence to
stand. AS far as we are advised, this
is the only instance in which the new
law has been enforced in Maryland,
and we have no information as to whe

IT is possible that a searching in
vestigation into the recent affairs in
Virginia and Mississippi may reveal
that they were but local disturbances,
unconnected with politics, and so wan
tonly provoked by the victims that a
grand jury was warranted, after full in
vestigation, in bringing no one to JUS
tice. 1t may even disclose the singu-
lar fact that the guilty provokers of the
disturbance were ALL killed, and that
no one aided and abetted their crime.
1t may even turn out that the matter
had been thoroughly investigated by
the Democratic Senators, and thus
Justify the sullen refusal of those gen
tlemen as a body to vote for an inves-
tigation. If SO, all good citizens will
rejoice. Should the result unhappily
be otherwise different duty will de-
volve upon all intelligent and patriotic
citizens, and shame must fall on those
journals and public men who now de-
nounce this investigation and endeavor
to prejudice the public mind by the
cry of "bloody shirt"

JAMES REDPATH, the earnest and
able friend of Ireland, in letter dated
May 20, 1882, in which he declined
membership in the New York Free
Trade club, said 81 was radical
free trader until l visited Ireland and
saw the blighting effects of compulsory
free trade there. 1t has ruined the
manufacturing interests of Ireland and
made the whole people dependent on
agriculture, and, therefore, practically
the serfs of the owners of the soil.
What that policy has done absolutely
in Ireland, where English free trade
has had full sway, it would do rela-
lively in every country in the world.
1t would make US serfs of the American
soil-for the benefit Of England. For
one, l have had quite enough of En-

We noticed in last week Dfmocrat
| quite a lengthy article upon this subject
written by one "Quirk, who appears to
be much exercised upon this important
subject. The arrows in his qui"er seem,
however, 10 be mainly directed against
the Teacher 5 Association. which meets
in Port Deposit the tilst Saturday in
every month.

ton of his sentence, aud we think at its
next meeting the Association might be
protitably employed in analyzin. and
getting at the true meaning OF the iul-
lowing paragraph:

the responsibility ol forming the minds

would be mere consistent if they would

Now, Mr.. Quirk. | would have yon,
and all chronic grumblers like you, to
understand that the teachers who attend
the "Associ lllou' do So at their own ex-

meetings are held on saturday. mhirlt is
legal holiday i'll the public schools and
when teachers are allowed to 90 where
they choose. Even the slaves of the

When doctors meet in associations they
discuss physics and medical science.
Lawyers, thus assembled discourse upon
points of law. Ministers upon Theology
and church government. When teachers
meet i'll the same capacity they naturally
discuss educational subjects Probably

proof to the contrary, | as we'll as a
number of the friends of the Rev. Mr..
Todd, in this town, will look upon the
assertion of the Editor of the ClcH County
Noes, in his last issue with doubt.
He asserts that he has received COM

personally that both our correspondent
and Mr.. Todd are sincere and earnest
Christians: and seek most those things
which tend to the honor and extension
of true religion, We are rather constrained
to pass by, than publish their honest
difference"
Now we believe just as much of this
cant as we please. First this anony.

the manhood he should be the keeper of,
