Answer of Mr.. Riggs in the Third Dis
trict Road Matter.--Col. ID. g. Mcintosh,
attorney for Mr.. T. Dudley Riggs, has filed an
answer in the Circuit Court here to the suit in
stituted against his client by the Green Spring
Valley improvement Association to secure an
injunction to restrain Mr.. Riggs from closing
an old road which runs through his property
in Green Spring Valley Mr.. Riggs states that
he is member of the association and had no
knowledge of its intention to file such suit,
or that the organization had any cause of COM
plant against him. He states that he feels
aggrieved at its action in the matter, and init
mates that certain persons are using its name
to shield themselves. He says that he did de-
sire to relocate road which passed through
his property, and claims that the change was
of public benefit, while he admits that he very
much objected to the old road passing between
his stable and residence, so much so, in fact,
that he had contemplated building larger
house on another site. Mr.. Riggs admits that
he did confer with neighbors in regard to re-
locating the road by substituting two new
roads, which are now known as the North and
South roads. Mr.. Riggs says that he con-
ferred with the County Commissioners and
Roads Engineer Crosby in regard to the matter,
together with a number of his neighbors, in
regard to routes for the two new roads, and
the matter was thus adjusted. Mr.. Riggs
states that he proceeded in accordance with
law to secure a relocation of the road, and his
petition was favorably passed on by the Coun-
ty Commissioners, who are charged with the
protection of the public's interests. Mr.. Riggs
states that two new roads were opened, one Of
which has been macadamized and the other
built to meet all the requirements OF public
road. However, Mr.. Riggs states, the County
Commissioners contemplate making extensive
Improvements on the latter road. Mr.. Riggs
says that the bed of the old road has been
decided to him, but in Difference to the conve-
nience of the public he has refrained from
closing it until the improvement of the two
new roads is completed.
Mr.. Riggs denies that he has been guilty Of
any breach of good faith with his neighbors
in the matter, and asks for dissolution of the
injunction restraining him from closing the
old road.
Judge Burke fixed Saturday, Novem Der 2sth,
for hearing.

Maryland Democrats and the Negro.


It is said the Democrats are really in earnest
in their declared purpose to disfranchise the
colored voters of Maryland, but whether they
can devise method by which that end can be
accomplished without, at the same time, dis
franchising many white votes remains to be
seen. The qualifications of voters are pre-
scribed by the constitution of the State and
apply equally to white and colored men,, No
act of the Legislature can take from or add to
these qualifications, and if an amendment OF
the constitution shall be attempted and carried,
disfranahising voters on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude, it will be
obnoxious to the fifteenth amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, which over
rides any provision of the constitution Of
State. The Democrats are up against very
perplexing proposition in the matter. They
are bound by prediction pledges to make an
effort to eliminate the colored voter from poll
tics of the State, but the obstacles in the way
of accomplishing that result appear to be in.
surmountable. except by making the official
ballot SO much a Chinese puzzle that half the
white voters will lose the right of suffrage in
the process
