Defeat of River and Harbor Bill

From the Hartford Democrat
The River and Harbor Bill, that has
been aptly termed the ''pork barrel, .
failed in Congress during its closing hours,
being literally talked to death. " 1t car
ried appropriations aggregating over $50,
900, 900. Some of them were meritorlous
but the large majority were so many raids
on the public treasury and intended to pay
political debts, which the average Con
Gresham delights to contract and pay at
the public expense. The chief antagonists
of the bill were Senators Carter, of Mon
tana, and Wellington, of Maryland, who
we're able to resist the temptation that be-
set and controlled many other members.
The country is the gamer by the defeat
of this colossal fraud on the revenues OF
the country and many Marylanders will
rejoice that the bargain and sale was not
consummated, which is said to have been
made of the delivery of votes in November
to the Republican ticket in exchange for
the improvement at public expense OF prl-
vate property at Curtis Bay and Spring
Gardens 1t will not be possible to prove
this corrupt compact, for the parties
to it were adopts and covered their tracks;
but it is well known the votes were deliv-
cred and the River and Harbor bill carried
appropriations to make the improvements
promised.
1t is better for the country and better
for political morals that the bill should fail
and prove to future schemers that there
are fearless and honest members of Con-
gress who will repudiate party contracts
when they believe they are corrupt and
intended to defraud the government they
have sworn to support

Don't CAN This Fraud.
From St. Mary,s Beacon.

FROM 81. MaryS beAcOn
IF His Excellency Governor Smith
wishes proof of the conspiracy to pad the
census returns he has no further to seek.
Leonardtown district fills the bill in its
entirety. Just at present it cannot be said
exactly how many fraudulent names are
on the returns, but they run well up into
the hundreds Families are duplicated
and even Implicated. Dead men, dead
women and dead children and sometimes
children that have never been born were
added to the list with reckless abandon.
The fraud is SO clear and patent that the
most casual observer would detect it.
The name of the late Leo H. Hayden
is enumerated and his family is recorded
twice and one member of it shree times.
Herbert f. Moore and wife and their
children living and dead are utilized to
swell the list All of I. Frank Yates
children and his mother are still living in
Leonardtown according to the census.
John NJ Lloyd and family have lived in
Savannah, Georgia, for over ten years,
but little distance like that didn' count
with the census man and he has located them
here. It will be news, we know, to Claude
B. Lloyd, of Baltimore, that he and his
family are residing in st. Mary's. Long
ago, Stephen G. King left the county, but
the census rolls report that he is here with
wife and children Dick Magill and j. J.
Readmond with their families are also on
hand. And, there are others too numer
Gus to mention. Oh, we have a dandy
census and the lists have to be seen to be
admired.
To give St. Marv's three members of
the House of Delegates it had to have
population of Is, 600 or over. The total
was run up to Is, 1876. With the addi
tional representation given Southern Mary
land counties by this census the Fitch Con
eressional district would have had 20 votes
in the General Assembly and in State
Conventions The Sixth Congressional
District also has %, making total Of 80
votes. To elect United States Senator
or TO control State Convention but Ii
more votes would be needed. So, the
State would have been just where the 9th
and 9th Congressional District were-safe
in the pockets Of Congressman Mudd and
Senator McComas IF there has been
slicker political scheme concocted in this
country, it has not yet come to light in
The facts recorded above are notorious.
Republicans and Democrats have seen the
lists and there is no getting over the proof
The contention is safe that the scheme was
not confined to our little county, but extend
ed all over Southern Maryland and certain
other parts of the State. 1t is matter
that both parties are equally interested.
All the sinners are evidently not con
fined to the Democratic party, but there
is yet liberal sprinkling left among the
Republican Saints.

Girl Rescued From Three Negro
ASSISTANTS.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, March 1O.-Mary Ar
gentin, a 19-year-old Italian girl, in the en-
ploy of George B. Thomas, had a terrible en-
counter last night with three colored men, by
whom she was waylaid, and, but for the as
sistance of George B. Rupert, she would have
been murdered 1t was in lonely spot near
the Convent of Virgin Maria that the men
seized her. A desperate struggle ensued, and
when the girl called for help the scoundrels
attempted to quiet her voice by forcing Gin
ders into her mouth. George B. Rupert, a
lawyer, heard the cries and fastened to the
scene. Seeing the latter's approach, the
girls assailants beat retreat leaving their
victim well nigh dead from exhaustion aud
fright Her face and hands were terribly
blackened, while her clothes hung in shreds
from her body. She says she bit one of her
assailants in the arm, and believes she will be
able to identify them.

FIom the Boston Times.

FIom the Boston Times.
When the gavel at noon on the 4th of
March sounds the end of this Congress.
the Afro American will cease to have rep
resentation in the law making body of the
nation. For thirty years there has been
almost continuously in either Senate or
House one or more black men. In the
next Congress, and in succeeding Con
crosses, no one now ventures to predict
how many, there will be no such repre-
sentative of distinctively regarded and
treated race that now numbers over 10,
00e, 900. Gradually the restrictions upon
franchise made it impossible for the negro
to aspire to Congress in all Southern States,
except North Carolina. The new Consti-
tuition of the old North State, together
with its Identification law, has elimi-
mated the black man there.
The last colored member in Congress,
for an indefinite period, is named White.
He has just uttered his valedictory which
might also be called the Congressional
valedictory of his race for generation at
least. His concluding words were ''This
is, perhaps, the negro's temporary fare
we'll to the American Congress; but let me
say, henix-like, he will rise up and come
again some day. These parting words are
in behalf of an outraged, heart broken,
bruised and bleeding, but God fearing peo-
pie, faithful, industrious, loyal people

Just turn him loose, ye wretcbed band.
