Our suggestion that The committees

iseems to meet With the approval OF

last Port Tobacco Times says:
II Is proposed In the last issue Of the BEA-

sof the committees from the several South
fern Maryland counties held in Baltimore
tcity on the 18th instant. We believe that
/. i IL good suggestion. II would be well
flor the delegations from the several conn

Try conference in advance Of the meeting OF
sthe Legislature; some united plan and def
alniie measures, in which all will occur.
9may be formulated and adopted. II ID Of
the highest importance that all disparity OF
sview and conflict Of Judgment regarding
the proper remedy FOR our grievances
should be settled and decided before our
ease 10 presented TO the Legislature. The
splace suggested by our contemporary for
ssuch 0 conference Is good one, equally
convenient TO all the counties: and the
time, also, viii probably be suitable. Bat
this can only be decided after all the COM

~v-'rss- hog Island controversy 10 no:
yet ended, but il still a fruitful sourc,
of discussion for Governors, lawyers
aud newspapers. And, with due def.
erence to the controversialists it seems
to us along the Potomac that the
great men instead of taking broad
view of the subject have only squint-
ed at it. They, one and all, appear
to regard the question as a dispute
over q territorial line. This seems to
us is q restricted view. THE milk in
the cocoanut" is the fishery right.
1t is conceded that the flats are part
of tas Potomac river. Then, under
the compact of 1885 the right to fish
them belongs in common to the citi-
liens of the two States and can only
be restricted by coneurriDg acts Of
their General Assemblies. Virginia
can no more lease a part of the Poto-
mac river than can Maryland give
the citizens Of s.. Msry's county the
exclusive right 10 oyster in the waters
Of the Potomac which wash our shores.
For fishery purposes the river is com
mon property. This being so, all talk
about the Black Jenkins award as
bearing upon the right of Virginia to
lease Potomac lands without Mary.
lands consent, or vice-versa, seems
mere bosh. That award only settled
the boundary line. The fishery rights
were adjudicated long before Black.
Jenkins and Beck were born. When
the Assembly of Virginia attempts to
restrict fishing in amy part Of the Po.
tOmac yipcr without Marylands con-
sent it endeavors to dishonor bind
ing compact and break plighted faith
In his proclamation Governor jackson
says Hog Island flats are in the lower
Potomac. He then declares the right
of the citizens of the two States to
fish in them. Being part Of the Pc
tomsc river the talk about on which
side Of the boundary line they are,
so far az fishery rights are concerned.
is idle waste OF words.
We commend this apparently for
gotten point to the attention of the
disputants.

TPB PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The
message opens with the usual review
ssof our foreign relations aud the i'm
sportant announcement is made that
our recognition of the Brazilian re-
public 10 to be deferred until the ma
Ijority of the people ofBraxil shall
have signifed their assent to it's es-
Establishment.
Returning within the sphere Of do.
.mestic concerns. the President finds a
general condition of prosperity pre-.
svailing in the United States. The
excess Of receipts over expenditures in
the past fiscal year. after provision for
] the sinking fund, was $55, 470, 100.
This actual and prospective excess Of
receipts requires, says the President,
s"the attention of Congress, with view
to reducing the receipts Of the treas
Jury to the needs of the government"
] A reduction Of taxation is not urged,
jas it is practicable to reduce receipts
10y increasing tariff taxes to the point
sof prohibiting imports that compete
with our favored industries.
He is explicitly favorable to large
Appropriation for forts, ships and guns
land for the improvement of our rivers
and harbors. The question of drastic
1legisls ion for the South is approach.
I ed through a recommendation, sug-
sgested by the Terry-Field Gaze, that
federal officials be Withdrawn frc;a
1.-THE jurisdiction Of the State courts ana
be tried only in the United States
tcourts.
4 The South converted for party pur.
poses into another Ireland wouid nm.
squestionably be the result of the leo.
5islation the President recommends In
IA truculent tone for the supervision
and control of elections in the South.
The colored- poralation of that sec.
stfon, he alleges, is deprived of any
defective exercise Of their political
rights" This is inferred, it appears
sfrom the fact that the negro of the
South does not send Republican rem.
sresentatives to Congress to SUPPORT
ssthe protective policy. This neglect
Jon his part the President terms "fla-
grant evil, calls it problem and
asks rhetorically "when is he to have
those full civil rights which have so
.long been his in law ?" Congress is
Earnestly invoked" to use it's powers
wisely but firmly"
From the bloody shirt question the
message proceeds to the question of
Subsidies, and it is recommended that
such appropriation be made for ocean
mail service. Other measures recon-
mended to the favor of Congress are
THE Blair educational bill, the civil.
service commissions appeal for more
clerks, an appropriation to promote
the worlds fair of 1892, separation
,of the weather service from the War
department and its incorporation with
the Agricultural; bill to pension ev-
'ery ex.soldier who is dependent on his
own exertions for support and is for
sany reason unable to earn it, a terri
Itorial government for Oklahoma and
IAN investigation into the jurisdiction
LOT the federal government in relation
Ito trusts.
The message is, upon the whole, q
clear and concise discussion of the
matters II Gated, but of the breadth of
view and national spirit it betrays the
less said, perhaps, the better.

about the deathbed scene. The de
parture of the spirit was gentle and
utterly painless. There were no dry
eyes in the little assembly about ths
bed and every heart bled with The
anguish which found vent in Mre
Davis sobs and cries. Immediately
after the death Mrs.. Davis was led
upstairs where tue ladies tried to as.
surage her grief. She bore the awful
blow bravely. A few hours before
his death Mr.. Davis said in answer tc
q request from his wife thst he take

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND BENZ. G..
HARRIs.-The Hon. Benz. G. Harris
will be eighty.thres years of age on
tomorrow (the 18th Of December).
He is thus eighteen months older than
Jefferson Davis, for whom, although
he was not personally acquainted with
him, he entertained the highest re-
gard and esteem. It amounted to af.
lection. The old gentleman not hav.
ing any mode Of publicly displaying
his feelings for the man and his sor-
row for his death. has placed Grape
on his arm, which he will wear for
thirty days. Mr.. Harris is in full pos
session OF his faculties, both mental
and physical, except some little defect
in his eyesight and hearing. He is
entirely unreconstructed, believing the
18th, l4th and 18th amendments and
all acts made or done in pursu.
ance thereof entirely void, and if on
any occasion or in any position he
meets with them, he will deem it bis
duty to disregard them. This he has
always openly avoyed. He does moi
believe a negro has the right TO vote
in Maryland, because the Constitu-
ton of Maryland, which he is bound
by oath TO support, denies it to him
He has never solicited a negro vote
and advised them not to exercise O
privilege which has not been properly
granted to their race.

A Rockford, ILL.,, correspondent
to the N. Y. World gives a re-
markable account of a new relig-
ious sect, near that place, known
as the Beekmanites. The leader,
Schweinfurth, claims to be the
Christ reembodied and to possess
divine power. The members have
everything in common and live to-
gether as one family. The new
sect has grown rapidly, and num-
bers many prominent citizens i'll
its ranks. There are some how
ever who have no patience with
such fanaticism and the impOstor
has been threatened with coat
of tar and feathers.
