Both houses of the Legislature met on
Tuesday. Now that the interest and excite
ment consequent upon the election of Sena-
tor. Governor and Treasurer are over, work
may be expected.
The desks of the presiding officers in both
houses were cleared before adjournment on
Tuesday, and after adjournment half dozen
or more committees met and began the con-
sideration of bills before them.
In the Senate number of Senate bills, of
local character, affecting Baltimore city and
county, were passed, and the following of
general character: To amend the bastardy
bill, by striking out the word "white," and
making it apply to colored women as well as
white; to amend the divorce law; providing
for the releases and receipts of women over
eighteen years old.
On Wednesday in the Senate Mr.. Hayes,
chairman of the judiciary committee, reported
favorably his constitutional convention bill,
which provides for holding the election next

ably the bill offered by Senator Lane, which
proposes an election on the measure In 1887.
The two bills will be discussed next Wednes-
day, at 1890 O. clock.
Mr.. Hayes introduced bill providing for

No information as to Suspensions

WASHINGTON, January 2s.-At the cabinet
meeting to. day the question. of the policy to
be adopted in regard to applications by the
Senate for information in regard to ''suspen-
sons from Office was considered. The Pres
ident is understood to be opposed to comply
ing with requests for such information, and is
sustained in that view by all the members of
his cabinet. At the meeting to-day letters
were formulated in answer TO the requests of
the Senate for the papers touching the changes
in the Office of United States marshal for the
southern district of Alabama and in the Office
of collector of internal revenue for the district
of South Carolina. The exact language of
the letters cannot be learned, but it is known
that they inform the Senate that it is not
deemed advisable to comply with the requests
in their present form. 1t is understood that
it is the desire of the administration to force
the Senate to state its position on this ques-
ton, so that the matter may be brought to an
issue and settled as soon as possible.

The Fitz.Jobn Porter case will come

The Fitz-John Porter case will come up
again in Congress. Gen. Porter has been
fully indicated, but not officially, and it is
hoped that that may be done at this ses-
sion of Congress. Had Porter been Re
publican instead of Democrat, no injus-
tice would probably have been done him;
or, having been done, would speedily have
been righted by Republican Congress and
President. After Gen. Grant and other
prominent Generals reversed their opinions,
Congress, two years ago, passed bill re-
Installing Gen. Porter, but President Ar
thur vetoed it.

The total wealth of Great Britain is esti-
mated at forty three thousand six hundred
million dollars, or about 81, 245 to every indi-
vidua man, woman and child in the Kingdom.
This is said to be three hundred dollars more
than such division in the United States
would produce, though nobody can make
more than guess at the figures for this coun-
try. Wealth in the United States is much
better distributed than in Great Britain. In
the latter country one out of every thirty six
residents is registered as a pauper. With
ne-tenth of the population of Great Britain
engaged in agriculture, one-fifth Of the area
of England is held by 523 proprietors, one
fourth of Scotland by II and one-third of Ire
land by 292. Small wonder then that those
who can do so come to this country; and that
those who can not-form Land Leagues at
home.

Some Needed Legislation.

Bills introduced in the last days Of the
session of the Legislature often fail. If
the representatives of Carroll have any
bills to present, the sooner they get them
before the committees the more likelihood
of their passage. We would call their at
tention to the fact that some legislation Is
necessary to better facilitate the collection
of taxes. The general law should be amend
ed, or special law, similar to the act for
Baltimore county, should be passed for this
county. While on that subject, we would
also suggest to our representatives to make
an effort to have the clause repealed deduct
ing certain percentages for payment OF taxes
during the months of September, October
and November. By the deductions the
state and counties lose annually thousands OF
dollars. Pay no premiums for prompt
payments, but require all to pay promptly.
Taxes have to be paid, and there is no rea-
son why the whole assessment should not
be collected in two or three months.
We would call their attention to the fact
that the County Commissioners should be
empowered to revoke all appointments made
by them, when in their Judgment the OH
GERS so appointed are not fulfilling their
duties. At present they have not that
power, and if they should commission an
incompetent or unworthy person they can
not revoke his commission.
These are matters of general Importance,
and would receive favorable consideration
from the members from all the counties.
County Commissioners in every county
except those that have special laws-have
no doubt felt the need of more legislation
to enforce the collection of taxes and the
want of power to revoke commissions.
