In evils which, like chickens, come home to
roost' No community is safe that sanctions
such unlawful and dangerous practices. They
bring reproach to it and create a false svmna-
thy for the colored people. -
nc case OF the horse thieves, 70 which we
alluuea last week, is another instance of this
prejudice While the chief culprits are let of
scot free' their cats paw, the negro, is senten-
eed 70 ten years in the penitentiary, and had
ne been arrested at home instead of Philadcl-
phla he might have been threatened OF chas-
tised by a mob also.
These acts, however, we are pleased to state,
are condemned by some of the local papers in
the localities where they were committed. The
law Is demanded to be meeted out in each case,
not merely as a matter of justice, but as mat
Ter OF necessary prccaution.

MARYLAND ITEMS.

The Dorchester Neos says: A gentleman
from Caroline county informed us few weeks
ago that the farmers there had petitioned their
County Commissioners to buy fertilizers. The
petition stated that the lands would not grow
wheat without guanO the Collectors took all
their wheat to pay taxes; and therefore they
thought the county ought to buy the manure

A HorrM Sight-Last Monday colored

Two colored men were recently arrested in
EastOn, charged with shooting a white man.
They were committed for further hearing,
but as the Offcer was taking them to the jail a
mob asSalled them, and the prisoners escaped
from both the mob and the officers. They
voluntarily appeared next day, however, and
were discharged, no evidence being offered
against them. A little judicious hanging would
probably work desirable reform in this mob
business in Maryland. Lynching is premedi-
Ited murder.

The ELECTIONS have resulted about as VIC
stated last week-the Republicans CARRYING
the States they carried last year, and the Dem
Ocrats carrying those in which they were sue.
cassfal at that period.
Massachusetts elects the Republican Govern
or by a pleurality of about $4,000 over the
two other candidates, Democratic and Labor
Reform. In New York the Democratic ma
jOrity on the State ticket is about $4,000. Last
year Governor Hoffmans majority was over
27,000. There was little interest manifested
in the result in any of the States, particularly
in that State. The vote is nearly t,oo hundred
thousand short of last years poll. The Demo-
Gratis have succeeded in electing majority in
both branches of the Legislature, for the first
time in about twenty Years, the Herald says.
The same paper says the Republicans permit
ted the State to go by default. The Demo
Gratis are also successful in New jersey. as
usual. Only Legislature was elected. The De-
mocrats will have majority of eleven on Joint
ballot. But Maryland is the banner State of
Democracy. Not single Republican majority
was cast in the State, and in some counties nc

posed by their Legislature last winter and de-
string to hold Office themselves, nominated in
dependent Democratic tickets, but they all
came to grief. Should the Fifteenth Amend.
ment pass this winter, as is generally expected,
about 10000 negro votes will be added to the
poll, which may change the result somewhat.
In Minnesota the Republican majority is about
1000. In Wisconsin the Republicans elect
their ticket by about 10000 Both these States
elected Governors. The election in Illinois was
for delegates to State constitutional conven.
tion; the Republicans elected majority of the
delegates. West Virginia is also Republican.

ballot in the Legislature.
We neglected to state, in speaking of the
Massachusetts election, that one of the issues
was the prohibitory liquor law question
whether the people were for or against pro-
hibitOry law. The anti-prohibitionists were
successful, and the law now in operation in
that State will be repealed this winter. 1t is
fair to suppose that if prohbitory law could
be sustained any where it would be this State,
being SO thoroughly Republican, but when
this great moral question gets into politics it
comes ou. worsted set back as it we're.
New Hampshire has also just decided against
prOhibitory law by popular vote, by large

beaker, before he had imbibed moiety of it

The prejudice against the negroes in Mary.
land Is almost constantly manifesting itself, and
In the most striking manner. An apt ilustra-
ton Is given in our Maryland items. Two
negro men at or near Easton were reccntlv ar
rested, charged mot convicted) with shooting
white man. At once the Caucasian blood
OF the town Was heated to the boiling pOiDt.
and mob set upon the supposed eulprits to
administer summary punishment upon them.
But IN the melee the negroes, by some means,
managed to escape from the mob and the off
Ger Of the law. The next day, however, they
voluntarily appeared before the proper au-
thorIties, when no eriLence t0haterer could be
adduccd a-ai"-t them. They were accordingly
discharged. linus, on Il mere supposition, two
men barely escaped assassination, Tor no offence
whatever, merely because they were negroes.
This act was prompted purely through preiu-
dice, by class Of persons who aver that thew
" think well enough Of a niger in his place, -
but allow him such a narrow place that he
can stand in it with difficulty.
Suppose the negroes had really killed white
man and that the mob had succeeded in lynch
ing them. Would the crime have been any
more heinOus in the one case than in the other?
Is it arg worse for two negroes to kill one white
inan than fol twenty or thirty white men to
kill two negroes? Aud which would have been
the more degrading to society the murder by
the negroes or tie lynching by the white mob I
Is it any the less murder or mob because
the victim or euprit is a negro2
There is nothing so degrading to a commu

oflaw and order as mob violence; and yet in
