ed lecture at Shirley Hall, on the evening of
the 18th inst, to large and appreciative audi
ence. The house was crowded with representa-
tive people from Hartford and Baltimore coun-
ties who had come to hear one of Maryland q
most popular speakers. His description of for
eign countries was particularly beautiful, inter-
estng and graphic. His anecdotes were amusing
and witty as well as forcible in point of appiica-
ton: His practical as well as his humorous re-
marks upon married life were received with ap-
plause while his audience were again and again
carried aloft with the speakers eloquence, as he
pictured people and places of both past and pres
ent historic interest. Mr.. Cotton delivers his lee
lures free, and the proceeds are devoted to
church purposes. Through his efforts in this line
thousands of dollars have been raised for lauda-
BILE enterprises of the kind, and he seems untir-
ing in the good work.

President Cleveland's Cabinet.


President-elect Cleveland remains as dumb
as an oyster about his Cabinet appointments,
although, doubtless he has by this time
made up his mind into whose hands he will
place the portfolios of the various depart
ments. By common consent Senator Bayard
is named for the most honorable position
Secretary of State, and it is more than likely
that it has been offered to him. MANY OF
his friends fear that his acceptance of cabi-
net position might interfere with his pros
poets for the Presidency; but Senator Bayard
has never been one of those who would per.
NIT his personal ambition to stand in the way
of duty, and if he should decline it will be
for the reason that he thinks he can better
serve his country in the Senate than at the
head of the State department. A number OF
states have been published, but the following
will probably be found as nearly correct
guess as any other of the names of those who
will compose President Clevelands cabinet
Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bayard, OF
Delaware.
Secretary of the Treasury, Daniel Manning,
of New York.
Secretary of the Interior, Joseph E. Nc.
Donald, of Indiana
PostmasterGeneral, l.. @. c. Lamar, OF
Mississippi.
Secretary of War, Gen. George B. McClel.
Ian, of New Jersey.
Secretary Of the Navy, William F. Villas, OF
Wisconsin.
Attorney General, Augustus H. Garland, OF
Arkansas.
AT any rate it is conceded that President
Cleveland might 20 farther and fare worse in
selecting those who are to compose his ad-
visers and assist in managing the multifarious
interests of the people of the United States for
the next four years.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMISSIONERS .-Thos.
b. Macatee, of the Sd district, was placed on the
o1tpension list, his pension being made payable
to Mr.. B. F. Minnick.
fetltlons were received from number of cti-
zens Of the first district asking that the location
OF the bridge over the B. and o. Railroad, on the
road leading from Fallston to Magnolia, be per-
mitted to remain as it is, the petitioners being
perfectly satisfied with it.
On the 10Th instant the report of Messrs VIM.
Young, A. Preston Gilbert and Walter W. Pres.
ton, committee appointed by the County Com.
mlssioners to examine the books, accounts and
vouchers of the Clerk and Treasurer, aud the
books and system of the Office generally, was
| filed. The report states that the committee
made careful and laborious examination and
found that his account of receipts and disburse-
ments as Treasurer are correct, and that the
general books of the Office are in excellent con.
dition, well kept, and the system much improv.
ed and more in keeping with the advanced con.
ditioh and growth of the county. The commit.
Tee, however, recommended that road account
and bridge account be opened for each district
| so that when funds intended for the road ac
count are used for bridges, or vice versa, that
the accounts would show it, and when and how
the amounts were returned to the account TO.
which they were appropriated.
The committee noticed a marked improve
ment in keeping collectors accounts for each
year separate, instead of carrying the balance OF
one year over to the next year. This would ia.
clitate the prosecution of a suit against the
bondsmen of any defauting collector.
| The committee also recommended the Com
missioners to procure book in which to record
all COMBINATIONS of roads now on file in the
office, as the papers are liable to be mislaid OF
lost by frequent handling.
They also recommended that a separate &C.
count be opened with the Amshouse, in which
shall be stated all sales made therefrom and all
monies expended on account of its maintenance.
The suggestions of the committee are excel.
lent and should be adopted by the board. 1t is
also gratifying to Taxpayers TO know that the
business of the county, so far as it appertans to
Keeping the books and accounts, is transacted
in an orderly, systematic and exact manner.
The Commissioners will meet again Marc b
