OUR ANNAPOLIS LETTER.
The State Treasurership-Legi slatiOn
Northumberland COnven.
tiOu-A Local Law for HarfOrd

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 2Gth.-The most engrossing top
ic here to-day is the State Treasurership. Every
body is talking it. Both Mr.. Archer Mr.. Cuttings
are here and their respective friends are working
with will. The Baltimore county men refuse
all offers for bets, while the Hartford people are
confident. The caucus tonight will determine
the matter, and your readers will read the result
in Fridays paper. Gen. Chapman, of Charles
County, is hoping there may be q necessity for
dark horse. Possible-but from present indica-
lions the lightning will never strike him, as he
will not likely be favorite with the members
generally.
Legislation is backward. The Judiciary Com
mittee having received its first batch of bills
from the engrossing clerks on Monday have gone
to work with u will, and after the Treasurers
election work will be pushed ahead.
The question of q Constitutional Convention
does not meet with much favor with the new
Senators. They do not want to be legislated out
of Office before the expiration of their terms.
The bill introduced by Mr.. McNabb, Relating
to the duties of County Commissioners, is the
title of local law passed in 1872 1t is the inten-
ton of McNabb's bill not to affect that body in
the least, but to repeal section in 1t providing
that all work of the Clerk of Court, Register of
Wills and others shall be actually performed be-
fore they can collect their fees. This bill pro-
vides that the recording of deeds, mortgages and
bills of sale shall be paid for in cash. on their de-
post in the Clerks office.
The ventilation of the House is better and
members are improving in their colds.
There is now bright red carpet on the floor of
the Senate, and one of its most pleasing effects is
to tone down the ruby radiance of the Senatorial
nose. HERE.

Farewell dear friend, thou art gone,
Gone, oh how solemn the sound;
Thy spirit to the Father above,
Thy body to its bed in the ground.
The husband she loved she has left
The home that she tended with care,
And gone TO the mansions of light,
crown, of life to wear.
She was a true and loving wife,
neghbor kind, a friend to all;
'Tis sad with such one to part
But ii was the Saviour's call.
The home looks lonely. sad and drear,
Husband and friends do mourn,
But He who lifts the waves, we know
Has power to guide the storm.
We must submit to Jesus will,
And when this life is DER,
Prepare us. Lord to meet her where
Death can part no more.
