To- On Tuesday last William H. Wight, Esq,
of the Sth district retired from the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners to give place to his successor,
Thomas Todd, Esq, of the same district. Mr..
Wight had been member of the Board little
less than year and was appointed by the Gov
ernOr to fill the unexpired term of the late John
T. B. Parlett. During his brief term he proved
by his excellent business methods that he was pc
culiarly fitted for the troublesome duties of the
Office, in the prompt and fearless discharge of
which he won for himself the highest encomiums
from all. When he came into the Board he was
a comparative stranger to the people, but he soon
made friends and to-day his popularity is unques-
toned. Mr.. Todd, successor to Mr.. Wight, is an
A l business man, and will give that careful at
tention to the county's interests that has charac
terized the management of his own private affairs

@We have no doubt the people of Baltimore
county generally will heartily approve the order
of the County Commissioners, passed on Tuesday,
transferring the county funds from the CONNER
cial and Farmers National Bank, corner of Eutaw
and German streets, to the banking house of Jshn
S. Cuttings & Co., corner of North and Fayette
streets. The latter bank is centrally located and
is much more convenient to the people of the
county than the Commercial and Farmers, and
in addition, the members of the firm of John s..
Cuttings & Co., are well-known citizens of the
county, the senior member being at this time the
Treasurer of the State. The change was q very
proper one for the Board to make, and the people
of the comfy generally will sanction their action:

@-In an editorial article in last weeks Jour
nal, headed "Mr. William M. Isaac" that paper
says: "The elements to constitute good Clerk in
this respect requires person possessing general
knowledge of the jurisprudence of law, and it is
well known that Mr.. Isaac is amply qualified in
that respect" Is this intended as a reflection
upon Mr.. Shanklin? He is an intelligent farmer
but it is fair to assume that he don't know much
about the Jurisprudence of law" whatever that
is. The inference then is, according to the Jour
naPs style of reasoning, that Mr.. Shanklin will
not make "good Clerk" What tomfoolery this
is! The requirements the Journal speaks of are
not at all necessary in "good Clerk" and this,
we think, will be demonstrated in the case of Mr..
Shanklin, who is level-headed business man and
smart enough to conduct his Office to the entire
satisfaction of all the people, which cannot be said
of his predecessor.

@-We heard well-informed gentleman say
few days ago that there will be practically no
opposition in the next Legislature to the passage
of bill for the extension of the limits of Balti-
more city. What grounds he had for making
the assertion we are unable to say, nor do we
know how the Baltimore county delegation will
stand upon the subject but we do not believe it will
be the policy of our representatives to allow the
scheme to go through without opposition from
them. The sentiment in favor of extension has
grown very rapidly in the last few years and it
may be that at the coming session the plan to ex-
tend the limits will succeed.

$1,000. He could not do the work for that amount

portions of Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, How
