to the inventive genius Of our friend Pete. Be it
so. We are greitly gratiicd that he has had
his optics sufficiently shnrpened 10 discover the

/ Speaking Of this reminds us that eur cotempo-
raries in this place have been long engaged in a
war of words in regard to the extcst OF their cir
cu!ation, each claiming to have the largest, and
therefore entitled TO the particular attention OF
advertisers. Now, in this matter of circulation
there may he a vast amount of Imposition prac-
ticed upon the adve, tising public. For instance;
the New York Ledger has q circulation equal, at
least, to that of either Of our Tidcly circulated
cotcmporarcs, and get, what merchant or busi-
ness man of IIagcrstown would think of adver-
tsing in its columns? And Why's? Because its
circulation, though extensive, is hut small among
the community whose attention it is desirable
TO attract. II brin rs but few customers to lis
door, because the mass of those reached ly his
Advertisements are too remote 10 ever become his
customers. The circulation, to he beneficial TO
most advertisers, should lie TO great extent
Domestic and not Foreign. .....
If tested by this rule, and nll business men
must rsgard il MS the proper one, We think we
can very favorably compare with either of our
ftissy contemporaries. Our circulation is legiti.
mate, has since our commencement becn steadily
on the increase and is among the solid substatial
people OF our own county whose patrona &c it is
desirable profitable TO secure.

E1-A miserable set of butchers must
be these Radicals But a very few year
ago and they called Il Convention in this
State to frame new constitution After n
session of months one was adopted and
submitted to the people AMI in n n,a,tcr
ratified. 1t was supported by this same
Radical party and hailed by them as the
acme of wisdom. They shouted prodi gi-
ously over it and say loud the praises f
loyal Maryland" Of Free Maryland"
and her New Constitution.
Since the recent election, however, they
have discovered that the Constitution they
have framed and so glorifcd is not Re-
publican in its form. and they are anxious
y looking to Congress to take such steps
as will rectify their cgrcgious blunder.-
Had they succeeded in carrying their point
at the fall elections We should never have
heard Of the Constitution lacking provis-
ions to render it Republican in form. But
the Legislature which assemblies on We'd
nesday next, will. We hope, save Congress
all trouble on this point by Immediately
providing for the call of Convention to
frame Constitution that will be Rcpub-
lican in its provisions. The Democracy
have always eontcnded that the present
Constitution was not Republican in form
and have only been surprised that the
Radicals themselves could not seo it,
Nowthat they have acknowledge i it, it is t,
he presumed tha, they will not only make
no opposition to a Convention to secure q
form of government that IS Republican bu.
will join heart and Land with the Democ-
racy in correcting their errors.

The Danger and Hope of the
COUntry

y
In one Of those able articles which oeca-
sionally relieve the editorial columns Of the
New York Herald, the present condition Of
this country is forclbly compared with
that of Rome, England and France, In their
conversion from rep1blics TO monarchies.
It is well shown that in each of these cases
the result was effected by the suspensiono of
the popular power and the usurpatlon OF
political faction, under the pretensc Of mil
itary exigency. Inthe case Of Rome. the
Senate maintained its assumed oligarchical
sway, until the overpowering usurpation
OF Caesar became even relief TO the people
although it was the certain precursor Of
the downfall of Roman power and pros
perity.
In England, CROMWELL succeeded In es-
tablishing Commonwealth, but the per-
versity of his Parliament overthrow the
safeguards of popular power, and in the at
tempt to inaugurate their own supremacy,
Gust as our Congress is trying to do nOw,)
they robbed the people of their rights so
GENEROUSLY that they were impelled to return
10 the dynasty they had spilled so much
blood to subvert-and the republic reverted
to monarchy, as at present upheld. as far
better than the unstable popular govern
ment they had experienced. .-
In regard to France, the blood OF the first
Revolution was frittered away by the Di-
rectory (and we have one in Washington
to-day,) until the people relieved them
selves by placing the 'adventurer," Napo-
leon, upon the throne OF the Empire.
1t has been said that "history repeats
itself'-and would it not therefore be pru-
dent for the people, 1.-The source OF all pow
err" while they yet have the power, to take
warming from the example of the past. and
resolve 10 maintain the Constitution aud the
Union as their patriotic fathers made them.
The Herald concludes thus:
"Our own situation Is the same as that
shown In these instances. Our Constitution.
limited in its operation by the necessities OF
war is practically set aside by the party that
rules in Congress. Congress has before Ii
but the one obvious duty of re-establishing
the operation of the law for state OF
peace. 1t ignores or denies this duty, 1t
insists upon holding on to this dangerous
power. insists that the Constitution Is sus-
ptHutu, cNcu SupSiScucu' Gnu P'OpoSS9 hc !"
plans.
We hare therefore reign Of faction and
not 0f lao, and i,g this condition any epent is
possible. The only hope of the nation lies
in the character of the people, They are
more intelligent than the people of other
nations, and their influence on the Gov
ernment is more direct. They only can
prevent us from sliding into the despotisnl
of faction, TO be followed by the despOtism
of some Individual party leader They,
through the elections, must signally rebuke
the despotic spirit In which Congress now
plays the dictator, or the inevitable cOnse-
quences Of this Congressional suspension
of the Constitution will be the destruction
of cur freedom

The Negro Audiences at WASH
infytOn


The turbulence of the audiences at
Washington has made new police neces-
sary. The evil was pictured In the follow
ing language by the Hon. s. S. Marshall, Of
Illinois, In speech few days ago in the
House,
Sir, there are poor men In our country
who need the charity Of the government
as much, at least, as colOred men. Look
around these galleries. Our constituents
can not spare time to come here day after
day and listen to the discussions in these
halls, but from the commencement of this
session until now you find your galleries
crowded with the children, of Africa, who
are to be fatted out of the treasury Of the
country.
These are the people that come here day
after day, and darken these Legislative halls,
while my constituents are toiling at home
unable to pay the tax gatherer. For want
of a market their grain rots In the granary,
while we have for an audience these lazy
vagabouds, who are to be fed, suppose.

the orphan children of white soldiers, who
died fighting gallantly for the flag and for
the honor, safety and glory OF their coun-
try, are dragging along life of poverty
and almost beggary, unnoticed and nncared

are so pathetleally feryent In the worship

RumOred Consolidation of Express
COmpanieS.

The Syracuse papers give currency to a
report that an arrangement has been made
between the new Bankers Express Com
,pany with the Adams, American, and
United States Express Companies. The
terms are as follows;
The shareholders OF the Bankers Ma
tional Express Company to be required to
pay in fifty per cent. of their stock by the
FIRST of May; that the capital stock of the
three companies named Is to be increased
TO the extent of the money SO paid In, and
that to the shareholders Of the National
upon the actual amount paid In there is to
be issued stock at par In the other compa-
nies In the following proportions Adams
Express Company, forty one-hundredths,
American Express Company, thirty-six
one-hundredths; United States Express
Bankers National Express company viii
cease to exist when this arrangement shall
be carried into effect. III AI tt- "
The STANDARD further states that It is uu-
derstOod (the surplus earnings being first
divided) that these combined companies
are TO increase their present capital ofabout
eleven millions to twenty millions, then to
add five millions of the National, making
an increase of fourteen millions, with only
an addition of five millions OF actual cap
ital. Some have the impression that all
the companies are TO be combined under
one organization, Such is not our under
standing, but that they are to be continued
as heretofore under three distinct organiza-
lions. IarITI In lIA4l'. ~.

Tho Cattle PIapnn.

SO widespread and destructive Is this
malady among the cattle in England, that
IL challenges and commands the earnest at
tention OF the British Parliament. The
commissioners appointed by the Govern
ment to investigate this subject have made
a second report, which has been published.
After recitlug the statistics, which are ap-
paling, the report continues as follows;
These figures, formidable as they are, by
no means represent the real amount of loss
and suffering inflicted by a calamity which
ravages some districts while II spares 9th
ers. A pressure which would be less II
distributed over large area is ruinous and
crushing when those on whom 1t rests are
comparatively few. Cheshire, for instance,
which depends IN great measure upon Its
dairy stock. has had. up to the Nth of jan
uary, 1871 cases Of disease, Forfarshire
l0,099 Lanarkshire 4,37l, Cambridgshire
1854 Lincolnshire, 4,0S0, Norfolk 4.063.
Yorkshire 1881, and the records of partic-
ular villages and farms where the disease
bad ragged would tell still more distressing
tale"
Up to this time it is certain that no rem
edy has been discovered for this disease.
Many have been tried, but all failed. In
some quarters it is asserted that the ho-
meopathic practice Is the most available,
but it does not stop the pestilence when
once started in neighborhood. Veteri-
nary science thus far has done nothing to
arrest the malady, it being concluded by
the Attorney General in a recent speech at
York, England, that sup to this time, hui
man skill has devised no method by which
the cattle disease can be cured" He there
fore recommends that animals actually
affected by 1t should be Immediately
slaughtered The bill passed covers this
point and will be carried out at an early
day.
These facts should press upon the author
tiles Of this country the imperative neces-
sity Of enforcing the law passed by Con-
gress to prevent the Importation of cattle
into the United States. 1t may operate
with severity upon few cattle dealers and
drovers upon the Northern frontier, but II
will protect the mass OF agriculturists and
cattle raisers from such a calamity as has
fallen upon them in England and other
countries. Prevention Is now acknow-
ledged to be the only path left open fol
governmental action In England and that
hint should not be lost upon those Of the
United States. In the meantime, careful
Investigations should be made by local au-
thoritles of all strange or uncommon dis
eases that appear among cattle, and full
and accurate reports made for the benefit
of other localities In this way preventive
measures can be taken at an early day--ii
the real disease should appear-to check its
progress and prevent such q loss Of cattle
as has fallen upon the farmers and stock
raisers in other countries.

The Cotton Cron.

A planter who has devoted close attention
and observation to the condition of the
cotton crop and the prospect for the pres
ent year. particularly in the States OF Ten
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi, gives 1t as
his opinion that not more than half an
average crop need be ex cted. Consider
ing the ineffielency Of la or, and the in
creased expenditures in. culture, cotton
growing can not be made profitable If
Congress levies tax of five cents on the
pound, sis proposed He says the influence
Of this proposition, which seems to meet
with favor in Congress, has already been

Ing, in whole or in part, and turn their at
tcItion to corn and meat aud such articles
"A are needed for home consumption. tr
He has himself given up cotton raising,
although he rented q plantation last fall for
that purpose and prepared the ground with
that object in view. He says it is the
unanimous sentiment of his neighbors 10
curtail the cotton crop, not from hostility
10 the Government or dislncllnation TO pay
taxes, but because five per cent. tax, in
addition to other expenses, will more than
eat up the profits of the crop. La other
words, the more cotton planter raises. the
worse off he will be. At the best, he says
