TO MARY CANNON.
Farewell, my friend, my fervont prayer
For You will ever be.
That all thy years of welded lite
From sorrow may be free.
Upon thy marriage morning,
May the sun I'm glory rise
And shine resplendent ON the day
In clear and cloudloss skies.
May that sunlight be the symbol
OF a fair, unclouded fate;
May the light of sweet eontentment
Thy path illuminate.
May passing years so softly steal
As to give no care to thee
May the pleasures of departed days
Lingor In thy memory.
Ever In thy mind aud heart
This year will fondly stay
II Is a most peculiar year.
For August comes In May.

The DIGNIFIED and statesmanlike
address to the country by Hon. John
e.. Carlisle, stating the Democratic
position in the great struggle at
Washington, has served to show up
the trse iniquity of the Republican
usurpation in its true colors. The
precedents of q century have been ruth
lessly trampled upon by the Republi-
can partisans for the most unworthy
partisan purposes. These same tradi-
tions had been repeatedly upheld by
the Republicans when it served their
party to do.so; and Banks, Colfax, Blaine
and even Reed are on record in their
defense. Mr.. Carlisle shows that the
constitutional provision requiring the
actual presence and participation of
q majority of the members elected to
legalize business, was founded in the
highest wisdom and constitutes a
necessary safeguard between the Fed
eral treasury and its would be despoil-
ers. 1t is much grayer question than
was at first supposed. The Republi-
cans begin now to realize this. and the
great break in their party ranks on
Wednesday, which 90 alarmed Mr..
Reed, ID due to a recognition Of this
fact.

The New Rules Bring Increased Re
spOnsibilify.

The code of rules for the House reported
by the committee on rules, after obtaining
the sanction of the republican caucus,
gives Speaker Reed all the dictatoriai
power over the course of legislation that
he assumed before the rules were reported.
They facilitate the transaction OF business
immensely, provided the Speaker favors
the business proposed to be transacted
They are excellent rules provided the
Speaker be incorruptible. the chairman of
committees sanity and intelligent and the
lobby virtuous. Their working satisfac-
torily would be assured, perhaps, if no
money bills of any sort were to come be-
fore the Fifty first Congress. But these
conditions cannot all be realized. The
Speaker may be saint, but his chairmen
are far from perfection, the lobby is
wicked, and great many bills with "big
money" in them are to be considered
The majority of the House, in dispensing
with the old rules, takes largely increased
responsibility upon its shoulders. Is it
equal to iti The result will show. Many
OF the measures sanctioned by the m .jority
of the House are measures that favor pri-
vate or corporate interests. The tariff bill,
the subsidies bill, the pensions bills and
the navy enlargement bills will give occa-
sion for the spen ling of money by inter
ested persons on Congressman. Other
bills of like character are incubating. Can
the Fifty first Congress, under the proposed
new rules, hope to close the ssion un-
smirchedi The door being open TO scan
dal. it will not surprise anybody if the
public grows captious and suspicious. 1t
IL doubtful. therefore, whether. from a
party point of view, the new rules are
valuable acquisition for the majority Of
the HOuse.-Sun.

RediStricting Ball.

On Friday bill for redistricting the
Congressional districts of the State, was
introduced in the Maryland Senate by
Senator John w. Smith, of Worcester
county. It was referred to the committee
on elections. and will be reported to the
Senate without delay. The changes pre-
poposed may be thus briefly stated:
! The first and sixth congressional dis
tricts remain as they now are. The second
district takes the twentieth ward Of Balti-
more city from the fourth district and a
small portion of the twenty first ward from
| the fifth district. The third district gives
the eighth and ninth wards, strongly dem
ocraric, to the fourth district and gets the
fifteenth and sixteenth wards, strongly
republican, from the fourth district. The
fourth district, besides getting two dem
ocratic wards, lops off the the fifteenth,
sixteenth and twentieth wards. all of
which have been giving republican major
tiles. 1t takes back from the fifth district
the "shoestring" precints OF the fifteenth
sixteenth and eighteenth wards, which
have given in the aggregate several hun
bred republican majority. With this re-
districting the third aud fourth districts
are expected to be reliably democratic.
So far as the fifth district is concerned,
the redistricting will make only an insig
niicant change. 1t will have the repup
lican' 'shoestring" precincts OF the fifteenth.
sixteenth aud eighteenth wards Topped off,
but loses q democratic fraction Of the
twenty-frst ward, which before annexa-
tion Of the belt was in the Baltimore
county portion of the fifth. A proposition
was made to give the first, second, third
aud thirteenth election districts of BAlti-
more county to the fifth, which would
have been adding two more democratic
districts. But Towson politicians did not
want their influence curtailed in the sec
ond congressional district conventions, and
the fifth was not given any new territory.
Speaker Hubner is not pleased with this
He lives in Baltimore county aud in the
fifth congressional district, and hoped to
see that county have larger share in the
9Th district conventions than it now has
la Baltimore city the prominest democra
tic gentlemen who live in tine eighth aud
ninth wards will have to look to the
fourth district for the door which leads
into Congress. With the twentieth ward
put into the second district, there will be
an end Of the deadlocks peculiar to its
congressional nominating conventions.

So much for the men. Ladies' could
never before travel in such comfort. For
their convenience a waiting maid is as
signed to each train, whose duty it 10 to
serve as ladies' maid in ali that the term
implies. Ladies without escort, ladies

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, in re-
sponse to request from the Legisla-
ture, has sent to Speaker Hubner bis
opinion in regard to- the taxation OF
mortgages. Mr.. Whyte says that the
Declaration of Rights declare 1t a
fundamental maxim of government
that every person in the State hold
ing property should contribute by
taxation to it's support, but that the
manner OF executing this declaration
is left entirely with the Legislature.
The Attorney General thinks that the
power to tax mortgages is solely with
the General Assembly, which, in his
opinion, can either exempt mortgages
from taxation or tax them under the
constitution, according to their ;udg.
ment.

Association, of Baltimore, for retrench
ment in the expenses of the State to.

joint committee of the Legislature on

and fraught with less probable damage
to the interests Of the planters than
