Both branches of the Baltimore City Coun-

passed by the Legislature providing new
election for Mayor and City Council. The first
branch passed resolution protesting against
the law as an invasion of the rights OF the city,
and asking protection of Congress. The sec

$4,000, to be used by the Mayor in testing the
legality of the law passed by the Legislature,
and this appropriation is confirmed by the

DAILY 8PRESS, Ia
A Paper Enlarged to the size ofihe largest
.tO ~ New gEnglansI DaiIics.

The enlargement of our daily edition is equivalent
its size. This additional space will be devoted to de-
tails Of important events which we have heretofore
been Obliged to give in brief and to selections from
current literature, grave or gay, such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be, its past history will show. The Press was es-
tablshed primarily to represent the Republican par
ty OF Maine.s 1t was impossible for the controlling
party of the State to remain voiceless in this city,
The PRESS will continue to defend the principles of
the Liberal party of America. The has closed
one great cycle in our national history-the cycle
during which arisocracy at the South and democra-
cy at the North grew up side by sde,a period of
jealousy and conflict, resulting in appeal to
and the victorious supremacy of the democratic prn
ciple We have entered on state Of transition which
seems likely to prove longer than most of us antic
pated. The PRESS will insist upon settlement
which will secure the fruits of victory Nothing
is settled till it settled right. We must have de-
mocracy at The South well as at the North-equal
rights for all secured by equal laws, freedom Of
Speech freedom of the press, impartial suffrage. OF
the profound convictions Of the Republican party OF
Maine, the PRESS will remain faithful exponent.
Thc present year will probably witness the extern
sion Of the telegraph round the world. The compile
ton Of that great enterprise will compel change,
which has already begun, in the management Of
newspapers. The leading features of the worlds
history will be registered from day day by the tel
egraph The expense of special dispatches from all
parts of the world will prove too great for single
newspapers, and correspondence will regain some
thing OF its old Importance. Newspaper associations
news agents viii assume the task of furnishing
the daily dispatches, while correspondents will fur
nsh details, explanations and illustrations, by mail.
The Atlantic telegraph has already destroyed the
system BY which foreign news has for years been
furnished by steamer, and already the Tribune has
its special correspondents established in almost
every capital in Europe. We cannot rival the feats
New York journalism but must be governed by the
same considerations In view of the intimate rela-
lions existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vinces by which she is environed, are happy to

negotiations for the CCSSIon of
British Column DIa.

GThc following article from the San Francisco
Bulletin more conciscly states the main points
and advantages of transfer of British Columbia
to the United States than any We have yet seen.
For our own part, we have no doubt the transfer
will eventually he made, rs the hitch regarding
the claims for the ALaGGma's depradations is but
Il minor point. which an increase in the amount
of purchase money to be paid will readily obvi-
ate. \ nation that has two hundred million
dollars of annual income over its expenses, viii
not hesitate long about Il triie like that :
The knowledge that Overtures have been made to
the British Government for the purchase of British
Columbia and Vancouver's Island, has directed more
attention to these places than they have had from us
for years. The more the subject is examined the
more desirable the acquisition appears. The great
natural advantages Of the countries have never been
developed under British rule. The s%pasmodic effort
which built the town of Victoria and made the great
wagon roads leading from Fraser River To- the mines,
was owing ~ American influence. 1t is 4 singular
fact that no great public work, such as marked the
periods before the English Colonial Minister sent out
governors and officials from London, has been under
taken since their arrival. The few public works
that have been undertaken since have been either
abandoned in n half finished state, or if complete are
Of questionable benefit when their cost * considered.
The salaries Of governors, judges, magistrates, score
taries, etc, being fixed at rates more suitable FOR a
country like Canada, or one OF the weather. Austria
liam colonies, than a small government not exceeding
in number one of our least populous counties, have
weighed ON the energies of the people and crushed
out all spirit of enterprise. Under such a govern
ment a. that which exists in Washington Territory,
and which answers admirably for a population three
or four times as many as the British number, the
productions of the mines. and the profits OF trading
would rapidly enrich the country. As 1t Is, for years
past the taxation which has been levied TO feed the
army Of officials, has more than exceeded the profits
of ordinary business, and has Outweighed the aggre-
gate annual gains OF the country. The people most
would themselves hail annexation with
dclight-irst, a. a means of escaping from the odious
and costly rule Of the satraps of the English Colonial
office and secondly, because it would remove the
barriers which prevent free trade with their neigh
bUrs.
There i another reason why they should wish to
enter the American Union. They are so mixed up
in commerce with the Pacific States, they are 50 de-
pendent upon rs for supplies, and SO powerless To
themselves in case of attack, that they are well
aware that the first outbreak of war between Great
Britain ami this country would seriously iUconycui-

g@rON the last page we copy an article from the
New York Tribune, headed - Aspirations to be
Rich Whether written by the veteran editor
of that paper or not, it reads just like Greeley,
The stvlc. at all events, is ~his-plain, straight
forward words-to use Il western phrase, " words
with the bark Off" Every young man who de
sires to succeed in life IN any occupation, should
carefully cut out from the last page of our paper
the article to which We refer, and either paste 1t
into his pocket-book or put it in some other place
where it Will he brought into constant remem-
brance. The writer says that : the aspiration
to be rich, though by no means the highest that
can imrel a career, is in his view, : laudahle
and honest" Very true. But is it wise to be
rich? Was not the substance of the scriptural
prayer the SuDlmum JonUm of human desires-
- Give me neither poverty nor riches?' II a man
gets as rich as George Peabody-able to give
away five millions of dollars for charitable pur-
poses-it is quite within the range of possibilities
that the possession of so much wealth may beget
in him a Shylock disposition of boarding and of
demanding from his debtor the uttermOst %iarthing,
even to the pound of flesh. But yet, leaving all
these possibilities in the hands of Providence,
those who have the training of children have, in
this one respect-asw well us othcrs-a very great
responsibility upon them. Many parents do not
think, when they give their little boys or girls n
real or a quarter every time they ask for one,
whether they need it or not, that they are
thereby planting the seeds of extravaganza. Learn
them in youth the value of money, and when they
get older they will be likely TO take care of it.
Inculcate, in every department of the domestic
arrangements, the strictcst order and economy,
and be particular, however we'll off you may be,
or whatever may be your position in life, to edu-
be ICdSted.
Do not tell us that this is mere preaching. The
truth is that there is not enough preaching on
this subject, and still less practice.

on the fourth page Of this paper will DC
c,Inl two articles extracted from the New YORK

the statements are true. Its establishment here
