The recent decision of Judges
Hughes and Golf, on the oyster ques-
ton, does not receive the approval
OF few of the citizens of Somerset
Co., and resolutions asking that it be
reviewed by the Supreme Court of
the United States have been passed
by them. These resolutions, in utter
disregard of the opinions of some of
Maryland's most eminent jurists,
that such decision would be rem
dered, and ignoring entirely the ad-
vice of their present highest law Off
Ger, that such an appeal should not
be taken can only be accounted for
either on the ground of ignorance or
willingness to be duped by some
cross-road politician, who, to curry
favor with people, has shaped his
views to concur with their wishes.
The exercise of little common sense
at least seems to us, on this side the
line, all that is necessary to teach
them Of the folly of the course pur-
sued by them, They ought to know
that Maryland has always been too
jealous of her rights to sleep on them
for hundred years, as in this in
stance, before asserting them and
that Virginia has always been too
magnanimous in giving her posses
sions to any one who wanted them,
to Withhold any portion of her domain
from any rightful owner Of it. They
ought to have learned by this time
that there are only two ways out OF
the dilemma in which they find
themselves by the recent decision
and they might as we'll realize it and
govern themselves accordingly. They
must either buy our oysters, or if
they wish to catch them, can do 80,
by becoming citizens of our State,
and to all who like the latter way
better, if good citizens, a cordial in
vitation is extended.

WASHINGTON, october with six
hours continuous executive session, the
Senate to-day broke the record Of the
last Congress. and by so doing managed
to dispose of considerable business and
get out OF the way number OF nomina-
tions. against which the Republicans have
been making a resistance.
The struggle was over certain nomina-
tions Of citizens from one State selected
TO act as Indian agents at agencies To-
Gated In other States. and the Republi-
cans opposed their confirmation on the
general ground that such nominations
yvere a violation of the home-rule plan of

Messrs. Davis and Washburne. Of Min
nesota, Stewart, OF Nevada, and Dubois,
of Idaho. made vigorous speeches denun-
ciatory OF the violation of the home-rule
principle, while Mr. VOORHEES, defended the
President from the shafts OF his assail-
ants. The surprise of the day, however,
came in the reported action OF Senator

Republicans not only by his vote but with
his voice.
The Indian agents under discussion were
all confirmed but one. two or three Dem
