German and Hill.


Special Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Senator Hill divides
with Senator German the distinction of being
the most prominent and the most sought after
Democrat in Washington, although the Mary
land Senator easily retains the lead. Indeed :,
adept as he has proved himself in the science
of fine politics, the New York Senator has
quietly and most cheerfully dropped into line
as chief of staff to his Maryland colleague.
Mr.. German undoubtedly has more callers
than any other member of the Senate, either
on the Democratic or Republican side, and
next to him comes Mr.. Hill. Persons, male
and female, who desire office appear to think
Mr.. German is as influential as he was under
the last administration. Then his associates
on the Democratic side think no action of par
ty movement can or should be taken before
submission to him for approval. 1t is a fact
recognized without question that the Demo
cratic side of the Senate was never more COM
pact than now, owing to the capable leadership
of Mr.. German. 1t is remark constantly
falling from the lips of members of the huge
majority in the House, "Oh, that we had a
German on our side. House Democrats
are constantly coming to the two Senators for
consultation and advice.

Proposed Raid on the Treasury.

The Baltimore committee on Worlds
Fair exhibit have prepared a bill appropri-
ating 100000. and had it presented to
the Legislature So far as known this
committee has no definite plans in view.
Some want house in the shape Of an oys-
ter; some want a representation OF the State
House as it was in colonial days; some want
a representation in miniature of the whole
state, with the Chesapeake bay and rivers,
and some don't know what they want, ex-
cept that they want 100000 out of the
State treasury The Legislature has no
authority 10 appropriate money for such
purpose, and if it had, no good would come
of it. Everything in Maryland that is
worth exhibiting will be put on exhibition
there without state aid, and those to be
benefited by exhibiting their wares should
pay their own expenses, The bill should
be killed the first time it is called up. In
fact the Finance Committee Of the Senate
should report it with recommendation
that it do not pass.

Gov. Brown, it is reported from Anna
polls, favors publishing the important laws
in the newspapers as soon as passed by the
Legislature This is what ought to be done.
The people are entitled to know the laws
they are expected to obey, and they should
be informed promptly, instead Of postpOn-
ing the publication until May.

The distribution of the jury for the
February term is a strong argumentin favor
of Mr.. Walshs jury law. Three districts
have no representative at all. This is not
the fault of the court. Names of persons
from all districts are put in the jury-box,
but IL drawing them out the distribution
Is liable to be unequal. BY MIR. Walsh's
bill each district is certain to have the
number or jurors to which its population
would entitle it,

| The grand jury Of Baltimore county made
its report on Wednesday. In their report
they say-"We consider the employment OF
| an expert accountant as employed by the
commissioners of the county an extravagant
and waste!ul expenditure for which the tax
PAYERS will derive no benefit and for which
there is no special law, and if done by au-
thority of the general law we consider it a
presumption of authority that has no prece-
| dent. We believe that had the county com
missioners performed their duty as prescrib
ed by their oath of Office, and if those EN-
ploged by said Commissioners had perform
ed the duty for which they are paid, no such
expenditure would have been necessary; We
would, therefore, recommend that this ex-
penditure be stopped at once The jury
recommended that the court petition the
General Assembly of Maryland to pass law
authorizing the judges Of the county court to
appoint an expert examiner, whose duty It
shall be to examine the books, accounts and
bills for all work and materials furnished for
the use of the county, in the office of the
commissioners, treasurer and school com,
missioners, and report to the grand inquest

latter, of course, means absolute de-
struction by burning.
This is also recognized system In
the transmission of patients to North
Brother Island. Half Of the Recep-
tion Hospital rests on the dock, and
patients have merely to be shifted
out of 1t into the little steamer
Franklin Edison that conveys them
up the Sound. The vessel is minia-
ture hospital and everything is pro-
vided in 1t for the comfort Of the
patient.
On approaching North Brother ISL
and a system OF signals is inter-
changed between the boat and the
shore. A long. and a short whistle
from the steamer announce that ty-
plus is on board the little vessel;
three short blasts announce small
pox; two, scarlet fever; and four,
measles. Yesterday afternoon fortu-
nately it was long, shrill whistle,
which meant that there was clean
bill of health on board, and none
were more thankful than the over
worked officials.

Soon after his return to Congress,
after the Mexican war, Col. Blssell, in
eulogiZing the Illinois soldiers, offended
Senator Jefferson Davis, who construC d
Bisselps remarks to apply sarcastically
to the troops from Mississippi. Davis
commanded the First Mississippi Regi-
ment and Bissell the Second Illinois at
Buena Vista. Davis regiment fought
with unquesticned bravery in the en-
gagement and was severely cut up, Da-
Wis himself being somewhat seriously
wounded. but Bissell with, as was sup
posed, the Mississippians In his mind,
made reference to the comparative valor
of the Northern and Southern volun-
teers in way, to say the least, that did
no injustice TO the ,Illinolsans. Davis
promptly challenged Bissell and Bissell
as promptly accepted. The corre5pon-
dence was short, sharp and decisive.
Being The challenged party Bissell had
the choice OF terms and weapons. He
selected muskets at twenty PAGES, for in
a quarrel growing out OF a question of
courage he was determined TO leave
nothing undone TO show his grit Col.
Bissell was brim full of pluck and Davis
was no less br We Both would proba-
bly, have been killed had the duel been
fought, but the seconds interviewed, fur
Their correspondence ensue1 and arbi-
trat!on resulted in the Withdrawal of the
hostile notes in the order o. their dates.
The full details of this affair of honor
were never given to the public; the mat
ter was Quilted and soon forgotten. Now,
the Constitution of Illinois contained a
provision requiring every executive ON
Ger, before assuming his duties, to take
an oath that he had never sent or ac-
cepted challenge to fight duel. Some
active Democrat who had been burrow-
ing in that document had run against
this clause, and hurried off to Sheahan,
of the Chicago Times, to apprise him OF
the big find, but was surprised to hear
the editor already knew of it. Judge
Douglas pooh-poohed the whole matter.
He likened the case to that OF Judge
Trumbull. who had been elected to Con-
