TIE OLD CAProI-This histoical
building, in Washington, was put up at
auction few days ago, and such is the
horror pervading all classes for the build
ing, there was not single bid for it. 1t
can never be used for anything else but a
prison, and the local authorities would not
touch it, even for a station house. Some
persons say there are strang noises heard
within its gloomy precincts every night,
and all night travellers give it a wide berth
after dark. Like tie French Bastile, it
should be torn down and the very spot OBJ
liberated as a foul spot that disgraced
common humanity. President johnson
may want it, some of these days, to shut
out traitors and Gisunionists from the face
of day. 1t would be a capitol place for
this purpose.

SHARP SHEARING.-Mr. Morill, from
the Committee on Ways and Means, has
reported a bill in the House TO levy on all
horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs and
other live animals imported from foreign
countries, a duty of 20 per cent. ad "a
l0rem. He understood that the Canadi-
ans were sending sheep over the border
and having them shorn on this side, so as
to evade the duty on wool. 1t is generally
admitted that Yankees are par excellence
sharp in doing things, but it must be con-
fessed that our provincial neighbors have

measure upon the people of the Terrific

State Ticket on the Sth Of january. Let
us have all the months that intervene
between that day and the Second Tuesday

aud TO expose the monstrOus criminality
of radicalism. Three months longer cam

EIGHT oF JANUARY CONVENTION, and uom-
mate ticket. Let the press speak out at
once, and in due time let the State Central
Committee act.
As TO the platform we are Tor the old
JEFFERSON and JACKSON Democracy, pure
and simple without omission or intcrpola-
tion. And as to candidates, especially for
Governor. we are for straight out, square,
toed Democrats, and none others. We
would dictate to nobody, but say plainly
that no other Kind win suit this lati-
tudc. If we have learned nothing from
the lessons of the late elections, we
had better disband at once. We
are for cordially supporting the Presidentin
his policy of restoration and sticking to him
rs long as hc sticks to himself. But let it be
done hereafter by us rs Democrats and a
Democratic party. We are not for eXclud-
ing any one, nor for raising questions of
the past, where men nolo profess and act
themselves as totally aud liXedly with the

The Atlantic Cable.

The success of the Atlantic Cable has
been of a nature to crafty the shareholders
in this, for so long time, improbable en-

or, allowing for all the days when, owing
to lines being down, &c, no business could
be transacted, an average of 1887 (or ST.

This enormous business, which will be
certain to stimulate the formation of rival
companies and ocean lines, is to result in Il
reduction Of the present eXtortionate rates
for ocean dispatches. The company seem
to think the reduction will be one-half. 1t
ought to be. There is no sense in the con-
tinuancc of rates which exclude n great
share of the public, on both sides of the
ocean, from any participation in the bene-
fits of this great enterprise. Comparatively
a few persons are willing to pay i've dol
lars word, in gold, for the sake of saving
time in their European correspondence.
Those who do, are chiefly of the CONNER
cial or speculating class; and the present
high rates, by excluding others, are calcu-
lated to work to the benefit of spectators.
The Atlantic Cable ought TO bea great pop
ular convenience for the use and benefit of
all.

The Baltimore Election.

The Radical press is Growing over the
returns from Baltimore, rs great "Unlon
victory" The Baltimore Gazette gives the
following explanation of the manner of
conducting the election, and shows that
the result was effected by DISTINGUISHING a
majority of the voters, by enforcing the
registration made during the war. The
city is now kept quiet by military force
and an armed police, but we may soon cx-
pect to find Baltimore the scene of brawls
and riots, the natural result of such an
anti-republican attempt to snbjugatc ma
jority of the people.
The Gazette says: yesterday the form
of popular election was gone through in
Baltimore. In theory, free people was
engaged in an act of self-governmcnt, and
a stranger in our midst might have won
dered at, and probably have applaudcd, the
quiet working of democratic systems and
republican institutions. In point of fact,
an insignificant minority here. backed by
the authorities and an armed police, who
were installed in power by the bayonets of
the Federal Government, held the ballot
boxes in their own hands, and arbitrarily
excluded from all the privileges of citi-
zenship those who had ventured in the
past five years to entertain political opin-
ions different from those advocated by the
dominant faction. Some five or six years
ago the voting population of Baltimore
numbered some thirty-6ve thousand. Yes
terday there were but seven thousand, nine
hundred and seventy-nine votes cast, of
which five thousand. four hundred and
five were given to the ultra Radical candi-
date, Mr.. j. L. CHAPMAN, who is thus made
Mayor of city containing over three
hundred thousand inhabitants"
