A Vote in, the Interest of Treason


pretty clearly endorses secession and the
treason of the slave aristocracy, IL its at
tempted Justification OF Hon. Hiram McCul-
lough's vote on a resolution prohibiting the
payment of the rebel debt incurred in the
attempt to overthrow the government of the
United States. To proclaim that Just debt
and one that should be paid is to justify
secession and rebellion. This is the sum
total Of The Democrats reasoning, and the
meaning of the vote referred to. Does that
luminous organ mean to say that secession
and war on the United States government is
Il reserved right" of the States? The fol-
lowing language by The Democrat means
Just that or nothing:-
Mr. Mccullough agrees with all men, who have not
forgotten there is such thing States or reserved
rights that State like an individual has right to pay
This debt which Mr.. Mccullough voted
the right of the rebel States to pay, was in
cured in the attempt to take the life of the
nation, which, if The Cecil Democrat is to be
taken as orthodox authority for Comprehend
opinion, is - reserved right :" of the States.
1t would be amusing if it were not cont ampt-
IDLE and pitiable to see people who have had
the advantage of IL moderate degree of edu
cation, and who have been reared in the
light of American institutions and under the
tegis of the American flag, 50 debased in

THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The monthly state,
ment of the public debt shows decrease OF
nearly twenty millions since the last month
ly exhibit The con-interest charge has
slightly increased, while the amount of cur,
rency interest has largely diminished. The
debt bearing no interest, or legal-tender
notes, has also decreased in a considerable
degree. The amount of coin on hand has
fallen off about twenty millions in conse.
quence Of the gold sales, while the amount
Of currency has augmented. On the whole
it is favorable statement, and shows the
faith of the people in the solvency of the
Government, and its honor towards its ere
ditors.

TIE Town COMMISSIONERS AND THEIR
TRouBLEs.-One OF our correspondents to-
day proponnds sundry pertinent questions to
orr new Board. Some of them at least are
quite important-the lamp question for one
which we doubt not they will be able to
meet satisfactorily
There seems to be quite feud between
our worthy city fathers y and the railroad.
The fathers" passed am ordinance. declar.
ing it should be lhsdcmeanor in the r. r..
Company to run their trains through the
town limits at a higher rate of speed than six
miles an hour This would insure compara-
tive safety to persons and property, but the
Company cant see it, and our good citizens
have been blown almost out of their beds
Si.ce the ordinance has been published, by
the angry locomotives which scream their
protest and defiance at the "fathersn and
their good man Friday who is delegated to
take these iron bulls by the horns and stop
the 10th (to-morrow) to bring down their
speed from thirty to six miles per hour
This will give the boys fine chance to lump
on and off the trains while passing, and
insure them manya nice ride. The Railroad
Company through one of their Directors
threaten the Commissioners with the law if
they interfere with the running of the trains;
and the town authorities threaten the Com
pany with the same formidable weapon if
they don't " slack up" We will see next
week whether our plucly little Baililf will be
able to lasso these believing mad bulls that
roar so hideously their defiance at him, and
reduce their gallop TO six miles per hour
trut.
Our new Board have also under considera-
ton the erection of market house and town
hall. This would be . decided improvement
and advantage to Elkton. The question of
taxes looms up in connection with this, and
the subject becomes very interesting one
to property holders. We think that every
useful Improvement to a town increases the
value OF property, but a great many good
people don't see in the same light. Mr.. ID.
Bratton has been appointed to assess the pro-
perty of the town, as preliminary step
toward Inaugurating these new improvements
and reforms meditated by the Board We
hope they will act with deiberation, and
carry out what they commence, and leave
nothing half done,
