THE BOUNDARY LINE.

A dispatch fcom Annapolis says:
"The joint committee of the General
Assembly OF Maryland on the Virginia
boundary question returned last night
from Richmond. The members were
highly delighted with their reception.
Colonel Hodson, who was with the
committee, said: sit was felt by both
committees to be unreasonable to ex
pect that legislation such a5 is desired
by both States could be formulated in
one or two days by one party of busy
men on a flying trip to confer with an
other party even buster than they. The
committee did find, however, sincere
desire to meet our own views with any
reasonable concessions. No irreconcil-
able differences on any subject appear
ed. the Virginia committee will ask
to be authorized to meet during the re-
cess, when sufficient time will be taken
to formulate the proposed joint legisla-
ton and to inspect the boundary liue
and the proposed alterations to be
made"
Senator Mushbach, OF Alexandria,
the chairman of the Virginia commit
tee, was made the chairman Of the joint
committee of both States and Delegate
Gould, CT Maryland, its secretary. The
committee adjourned, subject to the call
OF the chairmen OF the two States, re-
spectively. The meeting will probably
take place in June next.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. %, 1888

The CHIEF ground upon which rest
the claims of oil the Virginia re-
publican contestants for seats in
Congress, is the unsubstantial one
that as there are negro msj1li-
ties in their districts, of course
they were elected, as all the negroes
must have voted for them. White
voters in the North are deceived, bull,
dozed and bought by the thousand, and
why negroes in Virginia can't be, is
what only the contestants and their lg-
norant and prejuiiced friends in the
North can tell. That they are, is well
known to every man who knows any
thing at all about elections in this State.
And then, too, most OF the intelligent
Virginia negroes, especially those who
have any national interest in the state,
have become sick and tired OF republi-
can politics, and Of republican pollti-
clans, who, though numbering only @
handful of voters, in case Of republican
success, get all the spoils. But, besides
this, so avaricious, spiteiul and discouT-
teous are the whitesrepublican leaders
to each other that they quarrel and
fight among themselves when their in
dividual desires are not gratihed, and
either don't vote at all or vote against
their party's nominees, as they did
throughout the State at last falls cleo
