/ The above in the hand writing Of Captain
Boswell, sigHed by Mr.. +. ". Cox, was banded
Us by gentleman who flvors court house re.
moval Hundreds Of such epis,les have been
sent broadcast, and Mr. Edelen name ia used,
as being the author Of the croakcrs address in
the last issue Of the fines, for the purpose Of
influencing his personal friends against vot-
ing for removal. But, Notwithstanding the
earnest, not to say plaintive appeal, only one
hundred and iorty-two names were attached
to the address Many, We know, did not au-
thcrize their names to be signed to the said
address, and they are greatly incensed because
Of the unauthorized use.
We are also fa'ly convinced, vhile we
known that Mr. Edelen is somewhat opposed
to removal, that be did not write the address,
for We find among many other Measurements
therein, the following, "There is no assurance
whatever that the amount Of money 20 be ex
pended in the erection OF the necessary public
buildings will be limited 10 S25 900, the
amount Of bonds authorized by the pending
bill" Now, while we kaow Ne. EieIcn to
he hard fighter, we also know him as a fair
one and for that reason we know he would
not be the author Of any address calculated to
misIead the public r,ind by Hsisstatement.
Tire law does limit as much as language
can make il, the expenditure to So, 00O.-
Here is the language Of The law, ''The County /
Commissioners are hereby authorized to issue
coupon bonds Of said county TO be denomiua
ted Court House Bonds not 10 e1eeed tw,niy-
6re hsusand dollars, &c"
Now who did write the said address, Did
II not originate in the Times Office, and was
not Nr Edelen's name secured, as the others
werc, by personal appeal or written request to
use in We shall leave that question Tor our
readers to decide.
Bat there is one more thing we should like
to know, who authorized the one hundred
and forty gentlemen, whose signatures are ap-
pended 10 the croskers appeal to set them
selves up as she guides aud eensors Ct the
people Of Charles county, and who authorized
them to dictate how they shall or shall not
sole on the court house, or any other question:

Match for the English sparrow.

The robin is the only bird in the air and
on the ground, in bush OF on the limos oil a
tree that is match for The English sparrow
The wren, the pe-wee, the blue bird, the oriole
and the buh,ing family, a helpless variety OF
very little birds, are no match for the sparrow
even the house martin, much stoater bird than
the English invader, shuns him. Robin Red
Breast has learned to fight, and when aroused
to resistance, makes terrible use of its sharp
bill and strong neck in attack on aud repsIl-
ing assaults Of the SPARROW There is every
reason to believe that the robin is the destined
extermiuO tor of the sparrow.

Commissioners Meeting

The County Commissioners met on Tues
day last, but there was not much business
transacted President Of the Board, w Hicks,
announced his intention Of sending his resig-
nation Immediately TO the Governor This
determination Is due to the fact that Mr..
Hicks considers himself aggrieved by the az
ton Of the Board At lis let meeting ia ignor-
ing his recommendation in disappointment Of
Tax collector for his district Mr. Hicks was
unable to attend the last meeting OF the Board
on account Of sickness, butauticipatlrg the iu-
ability Of Mr.. burlington, VINO had previous.
! y been appeiated 10 is requisite 'opd, b.
had paced on file the recommendation Of Mr.
" J Cox, al e1-coIector from that district,
With his recommendation that be be appoint
ed It is asserted that considerable spposi-
ton developed against the appointment of Mr.
Cox, and the Board ignored Mr. Hicks recon-
meudstion, and appointed Mr.. owen, who is
a tax payer in the collection district which
Mr.. Hicks represents but who votes m Port
Tosaeco. 1t is 10 be regretted that Mr..
Hicks will retire from the Board as his bust
ness capacity, and experience as former
member of the Board is well known.
