Court, Baltimore city, has been called upon to
investigate the conduct of G. W. Datal Reg
istration officer for Kent District, Prince
Georges county The alleged offence con-
sists of registering Democrats upon what is
known as transfers, without applicants APP
pearing in person, and for refusing to write
his name at the foot of the column of register
cd voters, after each days sitting.
The law requires that notices to persons
who are to be stricken off shall be sent TO the
sheriff after the September sitting, by the Reg.
istraton Officers and before the 10Th instant.
No such notices haze been received from the
Registration Officer of the 5th district, al

100 names. We are also informed that he re-
fused to allow any one to see the list furnish

Dear SIR:
There seems to Sc an error somewhere about

books show that there are three Justices, the
number authorized By law, appointed for that
district: VIM II. Trotter, George F. Beall
and VIM. E Dement,, all of whom have qualifi-
ed, therefore no vacancy; Furthermore we have
nothing TO show that hugh w. Ro5g has been
appointed Justice for any district in your
county. Peter w. Roby is for 4th district
and Rufus Roby for 9th, but both have quail
fed and neither resigned. / return your let

Very respectfully, &c,

The inquiry of the Census Office
into mortgage Indebtedness is nearly
completed. The report will be very
interesting and valuable. Out of
nearly $500 counties only ten remain
at the present time incomplete, the
mortgages for ten years having been
abstracted from the records. A total
of something over sS50,000,OO0 in
mortgages has been found, the largest
number in the Western States "Rela-
lively speaking" says Washington
special, "the Southern States were
found to be much freer from these in
cumbrances thau the Northern. An
exception, however, to this is noted in
the newly developed manufacturing
districts Of Alabama, Tennessee and
Georgia. In districts like that of
Birmingham the. mortgage indebted
ness is large, but 80 per cent Of it has
been contracted for purchase money,
plants, lands, etc.
