The Maryland Legislature.

When the Legislature adjourned on Friday
of last week, about one third of the session
had passed, and only three bills had become
laws. The Legislature has not been idle,
however, and much local legislation, which
occupies three fourths of the time of the Leg.
islature, and which is only of interest in the
localities affected, has been advanced, and a
number of bills of general Importance are
being formulated.
Both houses met on Monday night. The
Senate sat only half an hour, and among the
bills presented was one to allow any person
applying for an attachment to make oath
before any officer authorized to administer
oaths. The present law requires the oath to
be made before the Clerk of the Court.
Another bill introduced is designed to punish
persons who fraudulently mIsrepresent their
financial standing to banks. In the House
only local bills were considered. Two OF
these related to Carrol-one was introduced
by Mr.. Haines, to regulate the compensation
of registers of voters, and one by Mr.. Sell
man, to repeal the act of incorporation OF
Hampstead.
About one half the time of the committees
of the Senate and House is taken up in lis
tening to delegates on all subjects On Tues
day two committees we're down from Balti-
more on Sunday law changes and Mayor La
trobe and others from Baltimore to urge an
appropriation of 100000 to be squandered
on salaries of Chicago fair commission,
clerks and employees and Maryland build.
ing on the fair grounds. Both houses were
in session and disposed of a large amount of
business, but among all the bills introduced,
advanced and passed none were of general
Importance.
On Wednesday the only business of state
importance in the Senate was the passage of
Senate bills providing for sentencing minors
convicted of criminal offenses to houses of
refuge, &c, and providing for recording the
proceedings in the case of the sale Of real
estate by tax collectors. In the House bill
to provide for taxing mortgages was read Il
first time, as was also Mr.. Haines' bill for
drawing jurors in Carroll county. Consider
able local business was disposed Of in both
houses. An order was passed in the House
to investigate the charges, &c., OF turnpike
companies, and committee was appointed
for that purpose.
On THURSDAY in the Senate petitions were
presented from various counties in the State
praying relief for the suretes on the Archer
bond. A bill was presented to appropriate
500, 900 ofthe refunded direct tax tobuild and
furnish schools for white children and S50, 900
for schools for colored children. In the
House the committee on ways and means, in
reporting favorably the bill for assessment and
taxation of the SIC, 900, 900 increased capital
of the Baltimore and Ohio Company and the
bill to amend the charter of the Baltimore
Belt Company, submitted long statement as
TO why the committee favored the passage OF
the bills A number Of bills were read sec
ond time, among them one TO regulate the pay
of registers of voters in Carroll.

THAT 100000.
For the Democratic Advocate.


1t is gratifying to see the active part the
ADVOCATE has taken against the State appro-
priation of 500, 600 for the Chicago Fair.
I'VE have talked with many Of our citizens
upon the subject and but few favor any APP.
preparation at all, and say il large sum is
given they fear the result politically in Mary
land.
We believe that nne,tenths of our citizens
are opposed to State aid. Private enterprise
should represent the State at the fair, if repre-
scented at all.
1t is the opinion OF the civilized world that
the only proper place to locate an information
nj fair is at the capital Of the government in
which il is held and since the wealth Of this
modern Gomorrah, called Chicago. has sup
pressed the popular Will, let her foot the
bill"
This fair being located thousand miles
from the sea coast aud the capital otgoyern
ment, will have the effect TO draw thousands
of dollars from our circulating medium which
otherwise would have been augmented If the
fair had been located at Washington. Mary
land is one of the original States, whose pa
triotic blood secured the territory upon which
Chicago has lgtey been built, and if on: Re
representatives. shoHld pass bill to take the
people money from the State Treasury for the
benefit OF Chicago, they should pass OIL 20
set our imprisoned State treasurer at liberty.
If the fair had been located at Washington,
every State in the Union and the 'nations OF
the earth would have brought their glory into
it, but as il il, Jet our Representatives, who
are composed largely Of Dem ocrats, deal
carefully with public FUNDS. BEERET

WESTMINSTER STREET IMPROVEMENT.

A correspondent who says he signed the
petition in favor of $4,000 TO complete the
work of street improvement in Westminster,
writes to the ADVOCATE as follows:
II signed the petition under the idea that
the money was absolutely needed. have
since learned that the income of the city from
all sources is over $1,000, and the expenses,
including interest on debt, about $4,000.
One thousand dollars of this is required for
the sinking fund, leaving an annual surplus
of s., 900. 1t is not necessary that the street
improvement shall all be done Immediately,
and | think that the whole work can be com
pleted in three or four years by the use of
this annual surplus of So, 900, which ought to
increase annually, for improved streets ought
to decrease the annual charges for repairs.
