Grorcetown, May 21, 1856. An opportunity will soon be afforded the State agents of Maryland, to make important improvement in its general policy of the Ches- apeake and Ohio Canal, by selecting practical men of experience to manage its concerns. _ The State of Maryland holding, by their interest, the power to control the election of President and Directors, should regard the true interests of the State and public at large as of most importance. The President of the Capal Company receives $2,500 per annum for performing no other service than simply meeting with the Directors for a few hours at atime, twelve timesayear. This is an evil which justice to the public good demands should be corrected he President should give his entire time and attention to the gen- eral superintendence of the work, s0 as to make him familiar with its true condition; and, we ask, how can he bo so, unless he per- sonally attends to it. Even under party rule, men who will exert themselves for the promo- tion of its interests can be had. Let such men be selected, and we can yet hope that this great work, which hus been sosadly man- aged in some respects heretofore, may yet be- come what its friends sought to make it years ago. The bondholders who have not been recciv- ing their interest for four years past, have become restless since their attention has been directed t» the prospects of the work; and justly so, when they see the great evils to which we have alluded. The finances of the company may not be so much misdirected as the means for increasing them overlooked by the canal being left to work by chance. The coal trade which was looked to as tho great source of revenue has been suffered to linger up to the present time, although pledges and guarantees were freely given for a large and lucrative trade, if Maryland would waive her lien on the income of the Canal, and after she did so on the conditions named, the pledges and guarantees wero all violated and cast aside at the pleasure of the parties making them The Canal was completed to Cumberland through the confidence in these pledges of the coal land owners and others associated with them Tolls were reduced to suit the views of the coal owners, and yet with all this they have been suffered to trille with their engage- ments, and pow complaint is made that iho revenue is deficient to meet even interest on the money adyanced to complete it, which sums are covered by what is known as the preferred bonds. The interest on these bonds would certainly have been paid regularly if the Coal Companies had complied with their guarantec to transport down the Canal 195,000 tons of coal per annum for five years, and to their failure isto be attributed the heavy embarras:ments now hanging over the Cane}. Much has been said respecting the uncertain- ty of navigation upon the Canal, owing to breaks, &e., and that the Coal Compauies could not rely upon it as a certain method of reaching market, without incurring addition- alexpense in transportation. this was known before the before-mentioned pledges weney was not oven alluded to, much less required. The plain truth is this, the Coal Companies have never made the éffort to comply with their agreement. If they had the Canal Company would have been in pos- session of the means to improve the work and render navigation more permanent and cer- tain every year, and in the fullfilment of the guarantees of the Companies is now the only source to look to for the means to enable the Canal Company to pay its creditors. In connection with the well-timed remarks in the Star of yesterday, urging upon the Corporations of Georgetown and Washington the importance of adopting proper sanitary measures so as to prevent, if possible, the ap- pearance among us. during the ensuing sum- mer, of anything in the shape of an epidem- ic—especially such an one as scourged cur neighbors of Norfolk and Portsmouth last sea- son, we would advise the authorities of both cities to keep a special eye to the basin of the canal, which lies between them. During the last two seasons this place has been made the common recepticle of almost everything in the way of filth andcarrion. We have frequently seen floating upon the surface of the water and lying aiong the shores at this point a score or more of dead dogs, hogs, &c.; and there being no outlet through which they could pass there they remained until they were deconiposed by the rays of the sun and the action of the atmosphere We have no doubt but much of the bilious, and ague and fever, which occurs every fall near the basin, both in Washington and Georgetown, origin- ates from the above mentioned cause ; and as the time is rapidly approaching for the kiliing of dogs to commence. we would warn those persons living contiguous to the basin to be on their guard and see that nothing of the kind is deposited in it. Ss. Wessrer 1x Deata.—Webster’s forehead, renowned for its massive breadth and fullness, presented a much smaller appearance as he lay in his coffin in the library at Manaficld. An ordinary sized hand could easily have cov- ered the whole of it, Perhaps this wasowing to the removal of the brain. Before the open coffin was carried out upon the lawn, numbers placed their hands upon that familiar brow as they took their last look. The lips were slightly parted, the tecth, so long of extreme whiteness, being just perceptible. A strong resemblance remained between the face of the dead and the portrait of the living Webster which hung upon the wall, where also looked dowauponthecorpse the pictures of his beloved son Edward, who died in Mexico, and of Lord Ashburton, his friend, distinguished for his part in the settlement of the northeastern boundary question. The body, it will be re- membered, was clad in the citizen’s dress he best liked—blue coat and bright buttons, white vest and neckeloth, black pantaloons and white silk gloves. There was no expression of pain or melancholy upon his swarthy face, but rather a look of satisfaction. When the coffin was carried down the steps leading into the tomb, one of the silver handles was acci- dently pressed against the granite portal and lifted up. Inthe next moment it was disen- gaged and fell with a knock against the side of the coffin, which instantly disappeared in the vault, To the writer, who alone noticed the circumstance, trival in itself, it seemed like the knock of Death, announcing that the reat man was shut forever from the world he day was bright in the morning, but clouded up justast! e funeral commenced, and closed in rain.—Beston Post. — € The Virginia Search Law is denounced by a communication in the Baltimore Ameri- can, signed ‘‘Many Captains,’’ as particularly thard on vessels trading to Baltimore, as it is impossible for them to.get to sea from that port without passing through the waters ot Vir- ginis.

Mr. Bailey is one of the most influential members in the Legislature. He speaks with Sees fluency, and always to the point. Mr. ailey is down on old fogy legislation of all ds, and takes ground early and decisively against all measures which in any mannercut in upon the inheritance vieshouol to us by the “great | poet sad of Ninety Eight..’ Mr Bailey's influence, combined with his great good nature and affable manners, make him much sought after by all kinds of ple Awong the strangers who called upon finn on Monday last, was a Mr. Monroe, from Steuben county. “Mr Bailey, [ believe?” “ Yes, sir—take a seat.”” * I have culled on you, Mr. Bailey, for the purpose of obtaining your influence ia defeat- ing a bill which the fanatics of Steuben have just got up for the purpose of circumscribing our Sunday privileges.”’ ‘* What is that?” “They wish the Legislature to pass a bill authorizing the board of supervisors to pass a law making it a penal offence to drive past a eburch during ine service, except in pur- suit of a physician. We, the people, object to any such arrangement, and insist that such a law is at once tyrannows aud unconstitu- tional.” “You are right, sir; itis tyrannical and unconstitutional—as much so as that prohibi- tory law which Greeley & Co. licked into shape in 1855 "’ ‘* Such being your sentiments, I sup, we wo es on your assistance in defeating the bill?” ** Ofcourse you can.”’ ‘“ How will the New York delegation go ?'* ** Right, of course. New Yorkers are down on all laws that smack of Massachusetts Pari- tanism ” « When can yousee them and talk the matter over?” “Any time. This evening, if nocessary.”’ “* Say to-morrow evening, and, for the sake of impressing the subject on their memories, invite them to Capt Knight's, to discuss broiled quail and woodcock ”’ “A good idea, but slightly ex; ive”? ‘‘ Never mind the expense. Order up and I'll foot the bill, What will it be?” ‘ Not less than fifty, nor more than seventy- five dollars.” Pier seventy-five, and take the money out of that ” Here Mr. Monroe, ‘‘Agent for the Steuben County anti-Fanatic Association,” pulled out 4 hundred dollar billou the Bank of Troy. Mr. Bailey took it and kanded Mr. Monroe two tens and a five in change. Mr. Monroe folded up the documents, shook hands with Mr. Bailey, and left. Before he took his de- parture. he informed Mr. B. that he had to go to Steuben by the three o’clock train, but would return again on Saturday morning with- out fail, A few hours after Mr. Monroe’s departure, Mr. Bailey called on Capt. Knight, and ordered up quail and Heidseick for twelve ** When do you wish them?’’ “To-morrow evening.”’ “« They shall be ready at eight precisel oe Mr. Bailey said, “‘ that will do,” ligh' 8 cigar, pulled on his right-hand glove, and re- turned to his hotel. Tuesday evening found the supper, and eo did a portion of the New York delegation Speeches were made by Mesers. Bailey and Anthon, while sentiments were thrown off by evcry body. The discussion of the quail con- tinued till about eleven e’clock, when Mr. Riley made a move that the party adjourn sine die. The motion was put and carried. Mr. Bailey and the New York delegation left the parlor and entered the bar room. “What is your bill, Captain?” “* Sixty-eight dollars, sir.’’ * Take it out of that ”’ Here Mr. Bailey handed Capt. Knight that hundred dollar bill. The Captain took the bill and handed him thirty-two dellars in change “Take a cigar, gentlemen ?’’ “‘ Of course—torches for twelve,’’ The torches were produced The twelve partook of torches, and then left for the pur- pose of walking off the effects of “that last bottle.” The next morning found Mr. Bailey in the House as usual. Among the letters he re: ceived was one from Mr Monroe, of Steuben, urging him to watch “that cussed bill,’” sbould it be sprang rage the House du-ing his absence. While Mr. Bailey was readiug that letter, a messenger tapped him on the arm: “ A man wishes to see you in the lobby.”” Mr. Bailey dropped the letter and went in pursuit of the gentleman. ** What do you wish, sir?’’ “Change for that hundred dollar bill you gave Capt. Knight last night—Hendrickson says it s a counterfeit.’’ ++ Not possible.” “It isn't anything else.” “«Tell the Captain I will call and adjust matters after the House adjourns.”” The gentleman replied “ Very well, sir,’® and lef. Mr. B. was, of course, as good as his word. He called upon the Captain, redeemed the bill, and then commenced a series of inquiries in relation to the private history of “‘ Mr. Monroe, of Steuben.’’ On inquiring of the mombers he was told that no such society as the “‘Steuben Anti-Fanatic Association” war in existence, neither was there any euch law spoken of as the Sunday statute referred to by Mr. Monroe. Mr. Bailey scratched bisear and said, in an under tone, * Sold, by thun- der.” Mr. Bailey immediately repaired to the police office and entered a comp A warrant was issued for Mr. Monroe's arrest. It was handed to Officer Whalen, who found the Secretary of the Steuben Anti-Fanatic Association in Utica. He brought him to town on Thursday. Mr. Monroe is now in jail. He will be tried for swindling at the next County Court Mr. Monroe resides a short distance from Rochester, and bas already served out two terms in the State prison for swindling.— Albany Police Tribune.

So great is the interest that appears to be created by the proceedings, that it is said that already several thousand nos peepee have bees made to the sheriffs for orders of admission, and the duty that will be cast upon these functiona- rie*of preserving order, bide fair to be of the most onerous description.
