COAL OIL!

This is certainly the best and cheap
est light We know of, and we speak
from experience. We have tried every
kind and readily pronounce in favor of
the Coal Oil. We use it in our Office,
and we know it to be ten times cheaper
than candles, when you take into CON
sideration the brilIiancy and volum OF
the light, and the cost OF the oil. John
Vaughan has the Lamps and the Oil on
hand for sale, and we feel assured that
the light needs but to be tried to be
adopted. Read, Johns advertisement.

It's a great thing to be-we nearly
said an editor, but that would have
been q falsehood. Well, then, it's a
great thing to be, and we intend to be
as long as life lasts, if we have such
good friends as some we are thinking OF
now. In the first place, we are think
ing of Messrs. Sloan, Owen e. Co, who
gave us q beautiful cane-nOt that we
are of a cane-ine disposition, and ever
need such things, but simply as Il tcsti,
monial of their esteem. Ahcm. II our
friends want canes-nicc and ready
made for ornament as we'll as aid-wc
refer them to Messrs. S., o. e. Co., who
have lots of nice things besides canes.
We are much obliged to them for can(c).
ing us, and especially since it makes us
equal tie Speaker Newman-we mean
so far as CANOEING goes. The Senate
coned him, and Sloan, Owen & Co. caaed
as, and we are just as proud OF on
can(c)ing Us he can be of his. In fact,
since we think about it, we are Il good
deal pr0uder Of the two-not py0udeSt,
fer grammarians say that is wrong. But
one thing has not been done to Speaker
Newman-he has not been peaned, and
we have. Little, clever, whoIc-souled,

posed by the preponderating representation of the
State and city in the Board.

The many vague and contradictory statements
contained in the evidence taken by the Legislative
Committee, in reference to the City Passenger
halfway, are certainly well calculated to bewilder
any reader who attempts to gather from them a
true history of the transactions 10 which they re-
late But when the clue to the secrets of the par-
ties implicated is once discovered, all that is SO
mysterious in their operations at once becomes as
clear as day. The key to the whole performance
we conceive to be simply this. The original
scheme was Blocks. The application to the
Council was for BRocK's benefit. The monopoly
secured by the ordinance belonged to Brock, and
1t was understood that he and his association were
to reap its fruits. BROCK consulted with GARDNER
at Barnum's-GARDNER bespoke the influence of
WooD of the City Counc-WooD negotiated with
three OF the grantees for the use of their names,
GARDNER with the other two, and thus the plan
was perfected Understanding this, we know
why the grantees took so little trouble to secure
the passage Of the ordinance-why they concern
ed themselves so little to obtain the assistance of
Baltimore capitalists-why they refused to sell
their rights for $3.50, 00O-and why they instantly
assigned to BROCK without any consideration.
The whole business was Brooks business, and all
the interested parties knew it. WooD and TAIL
BoTT consulted with him about the amendments to
the ordinance when it was on its passage-G ARD
NER labored for its success and was paid 81 500
by BRoCK-and the grantees having allowed their
names TO be used TO blind the public to the real
nature of the transaction, received $500 apiece
for the disreputable service Brock has explicitly
admitted all these facts, and, amid the prevarica-
hons and evasions of dozen other witnesses, the
indiSputabe truth stands forth But all this was
sedulously concealed from the public and neither
the grantees, nor the Councmen who were clo-
seted with BROCK, would have dared to whisper it.
The grantees went before the City Council on false
issues, and obtained the grant under false pre-
fences. They knew, and BROCK knew, that any
application in his name would be rejected, and
hence the miserable subterfuge which proved so
We may therefore waive, for the
all questions about the corruption of
which the sum paid to GARDNER and the
Jobs and positions assigned to members of
The Council are so suggestive. If the franchise
was obtained through the deception which the
grantees and their agents practised, the Legisla-
ure should Indignantly refuse to confirm it, and
t BROCK was privy to the arrangement, as we now
know he was, that body, in justice to its own
sense of integrity and the rights of the community,
should contemptuously dismiss him from its
presence.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1860
THE EXCHANGE MONTHLY AID YER TLSER


FOR MARCH,
The next number of the Exchange MONTHLY Adler
tisey will be issued from this office between the LIST
and 4th of March next. Having guaranteed cir
culation of ten thousand copies, which are sent
gratuitously to that number of merchants and
mercantile firms doing business in the Southern
and Western States, our monthly advertiser ad-
dresses directly, and in the most unexceptionabe
manner, that class of persons which is more deeply
interested in knowing where certain kinds of goods
are to be found and who it is that offers them for
sale. 1t must be evident that the communication
thus established between the merchants and BUSH
ness men of this city and those of the interior can
scarcely fail to prove of mutual advantage. II
fixes the attention of persons at distance upon
Baltimore as market, and not unfrequently origi-
mates the desire to open correspondence with
such -four tradesmen as have become known to
them through the medium of their advertisements.
1t is a fair and manly way of inviting comparison
between the stocks of goods offered for sale in this
market, and those awaiting purchasers in other
markets A monthly sheet of this kind carries the
printed trade-sgns of every merchant and artizan
whose name is to be found in its columns, to the
stores, warehouses and factories of ten thousand
other merchants and artizans Whatever advan-
tage, therefore, is to be derived from disseminating
the information thus impaired, is in this manner
attained; whilst the form in which it is sent forth
will be found, not unfrequently, more satisfactory
to the recipients than if the same knowledge were
acquired through the coster means of circular
letters, the personal explanation of travelling
agents. We can add nothing more to this state
ment than to reterate the fact that the columns of
the Monthly are devoted solely to promoting the
business interests of our own citizens, all outside
advertisements being rigidly excluded
