VACANCIES IN THE NEXT CoNGREss. The
Washington Republican says that the num-
Der OF vacancies in the forty first Congress
on the date of its organization will be
thirty, in case Georgia is admitted, and
thlrty-seven in case she is not admitted.
The following States entitled to representa-
ton will be unrepresented: New Hamp-
shire three, Connecticut four, Alabama six,
and one vacancy in Pennsylvania, Mr.. CO.
vode's district, where no certificate has
been given by the Governor to either can
dldate, on the ground that there are no pa
pers on which such certificates can be
given. He will probably certify the facts
to the House for its decision In States
not yet entitled to representation there will
be the following vacancies: Virginia seven,
Texas four, Mississippi five. Alabama elects
August o, 1869. The case of Georgia is
very peculiar. BY an ordinance of the Con-
stltutlonal Convention, an election was pro-
vided for members Of both the fortieth and
forty-first Congresses. The same members
were elected to each. They were admitted
to the fortieth Congress during the very
last day OF the second session, and are now
in their seats. Their credentials for the
forty-first Congress have not been received
There is now much doubt whether the
names Of her members will be ON the
clerks roll on the 4th Of March next.
Louisiana will also present complicated
case, but it is probable that their names
will go on the roll. and that they will be
objected to as they appear to be sworn.

The present boundary of New York city,
civil engineer says, should be measured
by circumference twenty-five miles distant
from Union Square. In 1860, the city's
population was $4,000, and the suburbs
within that circumference, in round num-
bers, 7G0, 900. To-day, the city has 1,OOO,-
OOO and the suburbs within twenty-five
miles from Union Square, 1925, 1000, thus
diameter and population OF 2, 225, 600. The
average annual growth Of the country has
been three per cent. and of cities five per
cent. Tor the last eighty years, doubling the
city population every sixteen years. which
would In 1884 give a metropolitan popula-
ton OF 4,5O0,00o, and in 1900 OF 6, 600, 600.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VELoCrPEDEs 1T will
be strange if ingenuity does not contrive a
velocipede which will be of practical use.
The instruments which now run are fit only
for floors or very smooth and level roads;
they may remain for awhile fashionable
luxury, but they answer no really useful
end. 1t is stated, however, that number
of ingenious mechanics, in different parts
of the country, are at work upon improve
ments which they expect will make the velo-
cipede practically useful. What is needed
for this country is o velocipede which can
be used on country roads with comfort,
without too great exertion of strength, and
at such moderate speed that mon doing bu-
between the depot and their homes, or
otherwise. The man who contrives such a
machine, will make large fortune by it.

as all can testify who witnessed his magnifi-
cent bareback riding, dancing and per-
formances with his son Clarence. Miss
Lucille Watson is an accomplished eques-

Shappy and Whitney were really extraordi-
nary. The Lowande Brothers gave some
wonderful evidences of their acrobatic abii-
ties. Mr.. VIM. Sparks, the Herculean

age rate of county tax since 1867 should
not have been over 35 to 40 cents, and that
the difference between these figures and
the actual average of G5 cents (25 to so
cents) is the result either of incompetence
or extravaganza
Apply the same principle to the State
tax rates as given by Tile Democrat in the
table referred to above, and we shall find
that, with the same economy practiced
since 1867 as in the years of Republican
rule, our State tax rate for 1868 and 1869
should not have been over ~ cents in the
800, whereas for each of the years named
it is 10 cents in the 5000 rate of State
tax on the present basis of assessment only
attainable by the aid of a Legislature capa-
BILE, as was that of 1868, of absorbing as
much money in one year as, aside from
the loan expenses actually paid, soas appro-
priated in sir years Immediately prior
thereto

The Maryland Democracy has too many
papers for its own good. AS the party is
not composed of reading men the papers
cannot all thrive in legitimate manner,
but must depend on public patronage for
support, and the bcstowal of this patronage
is a standing cause for quarrels among
them. Such a fight is now progressing
between the Democrat & Herald and the
News of Dorchester County, which results
in some Developments that will doubtless
be Interesting to taxpayers. The Ners
growls that it does not get its share of pap
and the Democrat retorts by showing that
it received from the State and county about
$4,000 in sixteen months, while it, the vir-
tuous Democrat, only got about $500 in 20
months, besides some other little matters
in the way of party patronage, &c. This
is pleasant reading to voters whose taxes
are so heavy that they propose asking the
county to buy fertilizers to enable them to
raise enough on their land to enable them
to pay their taxes. Here two small Demo-
cratic papers in one county get between
them in about year and half $500 from
the State and county.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-10-30

The Copperhead candidate for the
Legislature, Mr.. James Touchstane, alias
the /" Maryland blacksmith" who has pub
lshed so many declarations of war against
the U. S. Government, since the collapse of
the Rebellion, and who made such a good
thing, as quartermaster out of the war, is
making "good thing" out of the pres
ent Maryland Copperhead plumber party
His share in the great division of spoils by
the last Legislature, was nine thousand
dollars $4,000 to build an iron fence about
the Governors house. Four thousaed dol
lars $4,000 we are informed by those
acquainted with such work, would have
been large sum for the work. But in
conformity to we'll known Democratic the
DRY in matters of appropriations from the
treasury, for "jobs," we may reasonably
calculate that the present appropriation of
$4,000 will be exhausted by the time the
railing is placed on the ground, or at some
earlier stage of the work, and an additional
appropriation will be required to complete
the work. This may account for our Cecil
contractors anxiety to be sent back to the
Legislature this winter where he can help
vote himself another fat appropriation out
of the Maryland Treasury, to finish the
fence round the Governors yard. AS the
present winter will, in all probability, be
the last chance which the Copperhead
thieves will have to plumber the treasury,
we are not surprised at the Blaksmith's"
eagerness to be Gin at the DEATH
In view of the large business done in
Greenbacks while fighting the rebels and
afterward in helping them to rob the
Treasury Of Maryland, we suggest that
"Greenbacksmith ~ would be more appro-
pirate nome de plume to append to future
pronunciamentoes against the Government,
than maryland Blacksmith" Voters by
all means help the maryland Blacksmith
alias Greenbacksmith to get his share of
the stealings this winter, in order that he
may get the yard of the Governors house
fenced, in time for the new Radical Cover
nor which will be elected next summer or
fall.

Not the Same MAn.

1t appears that some of the Democracy
about Port Deposit are somewhat wool
gathered " in regard to their candidate for
Sheriff, Mr.. George W. Denny, and con-
founded him with Mr.. James Denny, who
was the Republican candidate for Sheriff 9
years ago. The men are not the same by
any means. Mr.. James Denny is at pres
ent Mail Agent on the cars between Wash
ington and New York. Mr. George W.
Denny the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff resides about miles from Elkton,
in the End District, at place called the
"Bull Frog" where he keeps grocery
and liquor store.
