sons, and vote there, also, their full strengtn |!
What gross injustice! And yet Mr.. Edwards pro
no unces this one of the most valuable features
in our scheme of government!
But though these fifty acre men thus elect one
branch of the Assembly, and control, to a great
extent the election of the other yet it can be de-
monstrated that not more than one-te,aM of the
land IS represented and protected by the Senate
rial voter at the polls In the first place, there
are thousands of acres of lands held in quantities
Of less than fifty acres, whose owners have no
Senatorial vote at all and this land, being held
mostly in towns is of course very valuable; but
this we leave out of the calculation, and come at
once to the fifty acre freeholds, and upwards. There
are, in this State, 23,769,16O of land listed
and taxe1-say 100000 of acres, exclusive of
the lands not included, as above, in the fifty
freeholds and upwards; and there are 10000 free
holders in the State. Every freeholder who owns
fifty acres, votes in the Senate and he casts but
one vote, no matter how much land he may own
fifty acres of land are, therefore, represented by
each freeholders vote. 10000 multiplied by So
will give just 100000; it appears that of the
2O,O0O,0OO of acres, but two millions of acres
To carry out the principle contended for by
Mr.. Edwards, landholders ought to be allowed to
give one vote for every fifty acres of land which
they hold; for, according to the present arrange
ment, and conceding that the land is represented
and protected at the polls, what protection can the
owner of ten thousand acres have against the
owner of fifty acres? Where is the justice of Civ
ing to the fifty acre man as much weight in the
Senate the ten thousand acre man? So we
perceive that Mr. Edwards fifty acre scheme is not
only unjust towards the Commons voters, who pay
a large proportion of the taxes on which the Sen
ate is based; but operates against the very
parties it was intended, in his Judgment to protect
and that too, Just IN proportion as they increase
their landed possessions.
The truth is, land is protected in the Senatorial
basis together with all other taxable property; and
the owners of slaves have just as much right to a
separate branch of the Assembly as the fifty acre
freeholders.

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-

w AsHINeToN, May g..
We are rich people lat least our government has
more cash than it knows what to do with The Teve-
naes OF the fiscal year will be sixty millions of dol
lars, and the ordinary expenditures, Exclusive of
demPton Of the public debt. will certainly Ak
coed forty millions and probably not equal forty
millions. The surplus forsthe year will be between
fifteen and twenty millions of dollars. The receipts
from customs during the last two mouths, at The
principal ports, amount and quarter millions
of last year of two millions and half of dollars, OF
over 80 per cent. The excess for January and Feb
Tuary over last year, was about four millions, show
ing aggregate gain for the first four months of this
year over last, of six and half million.
What is TO be done with the funds is very serI-
question. Government has gone into the recess
of change alley pick up its own obligations at
an immense premium, and is yet oppressed with a
distressing plethora in the chest. Shall we have a
revival of the distribution of 1886, shall we have
a war! Either method would be efectual in dePe-
ting the treasury.

EY In our brief notice of the new pump in
the lot DR.. Miller's Office we spoke of it as
gutta-percha chain pump" In this, it appears,
we were mistaken. The principle of raising water
by this pump is different from the ordinary chain
pump. Instead of the mere lifting of the water,
by the LATTER it is raised by India rubber valves
nicely fitted to and passing through air-tight,
smooth metallic tube-each valve producing per-
feet vacuum, and thus raising the water by the
combined action of suction and lifting. The pump
works quite easily, and appears to be useful in
vention.

The common fuency of speech, in many men and
most of women, is owing to a scarcity Of matter and
scarcity of words; for whoever is master of Ian
guage and has mind full of ideas, will be apt in
speaking hesitate upon the choice of both, where
as common speakers have only one set of ideas and
one set of words to clothe them in and these al
