tee civil-service reform and explained the

tons, but without action the committee ad-
journed the hearing until next Wednesday.

A CARD.

Since establishing our Mission in this
city, we have frequently been solicited to
procure larger and more convenient quar-
tiers for worship and Bible class, quite
number expressing themselves as willing to
contribute toward the necessary expense.
We have now secured the building on Fort
street. formerly used as a gymnasium, thus
mourning quite a debt; besides, some
changes are necessary. Therefore we would
say to all who would esteem it a privilege
to aid us in the matter that they can confer
with Mr.. Y. F. Burgess, or with the under
signed. L. A. SCOTT

The Maryland Offices.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says:-The slate for Maryland
federal offices continues to be topic of in
creasing interest among those concerned.
Mr.. German, the senior member of the Mary
land delegation and its chairman for all pur-
poses of consultation, is more looked to for
cues than any of the other members. but al
though, of course, he has long since fully set
tied in his mind as to his own choice for the
various positions. he is very squeamish about
the expression of any opinion on the subject.
This is undoubtedly the part of wisdom, for
if it was publicly known in advance exactly
who he was for he would be subjected to
pressure which would, in all probability. be
somewhat unpleasant. The other members
of the Maryland delegation, or most of them,
have either signed letters for one or the other
of the various applicants, or have at some pc
Rod SO expressed themselves that their pref
erences are more or less known. There
seems to be almost, if not altogether, unan-
unity of sentiment that Mr.. Edwin Warfeld
will have the support of the whole delegation
for surveyor of the port of Baltimore. Mr..
Jno. Ii. Handy is said to have three of them
certainly for him for United States district
attorney, and Mr.. Heating three for collector
of the port of Baltimore. DR.. Bishop, it is
said, has four for him for assistant treasurer
at Baltimore. Representative Shaw sticks by
Mr.. Shriver, of Carroll, for this place, aud
seems to be sure that he will get it.

The Maryland Legislature.

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
a local character, affecting Baltimore city and
county, were passed, and the following of a
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
fall At the same time he reported unfavor-
ably the bill offered by Senator Lane, which
proposes an election on the measure IN 1851
The two bills will be discussed next Wednes-
day, at r. 80 o'clock.
Mr.. Hayes introduced bill providing for
another term of the Court of Appeals, making
three year instead of two,
Favorable report was made on the bill in
reference to the Unionville and Union Bridge
turnpike company.
Among the bills passed was one Senate bill
to amend the law relating to exemption of
property from execution. The bill provides
that when party shall waive his right of ex.
emption, such waiver shall be made part of
the court records.
On Wednesday in the House additional
committees-on Labor and Temperance
were announced. Some additions were an
nounced to other committees, among them

mittee on Manufactures. A number of leaves
to introduce bills were obtained.
On Thursday, in the Senate, bill was in
troduced to give the surveyor of Frederick
county $500 year. The bill reducing the

The Fitz-John Porter case will come up
again in Congress. Gen. Porter has been
fully vindicated, 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 thousand six hundred
million dollars, or about 81 ,245 to every indi-
vidual 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 pauper. With
one tenth of the population of Great Britain
engaged in agriculture, one fifth Of the area
of England is held by 523 proprietors, one

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF THE SoUTH.-The

facturers' Record gives fattering exhibit Of

including enlargement of old plant, etc., ag-

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-
sions 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.

Some Needed Legislation.

Bills introduced in the last days OF the
session of the Legislature often fail. Ii
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 a 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 Off
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.

Sherman's Silver Bill.

Senator Sherman was asked to explain the
object of the bill introduced in the Senate by
him on Thursday. The Senator replied; 'tIts
provisions are simple. First, the suspension
of the coinage second, the issue of coin GER
tificates upon silver bullion, and last, the issue
Of similar certificates upon gold or silver coin,
or gold bullion deposited with the Treasurer as
security. The bill authorizes the purchase OF
from two to four million troy ounces of silver
bullion each month, instead of the purchase
of so many dollars worth, as now provided
by law. By fixing the standard of purchase
at ounces / believe more stable arrange
ment is made.
