The great men ofour day. says
the Boston Courier, will look much
smaller Fifty years hcnce, than they
do noU. In fact great many Of
them will not be visible at all to
the eyes Of posterity. Brass and
marble won't save them from obliv-
ion. A burning tar barrel . few
feet Of appears to be as largo as the
sun, but the distance Of . few miles
renders it invisible. The happiest
definition ever given 0; the present
period Of American history is, that
it is the era Of great events and
little men.

Law and Common Sense.

Too much law, and not enough
of common sense, is the evil which
afflicts the American people at this
time. The country is burdened
with an immense debt, which is bear.
ing heavily on its productive inter
ests. It takes very little forecast
to determine what will be the re.
salt to the liberties Of the citizen,
if some judicious plan looking to
the extinguisbment Of this debt il
not speedily adopted.
1t is sonceded by all political
economists that the first step to.
wards reformation in this particular
is the curtailing Of expenses. Frou
all the information which We are
able to gather from published re.
ports, and estimates made, we have
arrived at the conclusion, that there
is taken from tho earnings Of the
people each year one-ffth Of the
amount Of the entire National debt.
The question will now be asked,
if this be fact, why does the debt
maintain nearly the same gigantic
proportions it did at tho close Of the
war, four years ago. The answe,
is easily given, but we must call t.
MUD, the manner in which the debt
was made, and see il it bears any
ssemblance to the manner Of its
continuance. When the present
National debt was made, we had IN
army in the field, to feed and equip,
now we have an army of Interna'
Revenue Collectors to feed and
equip. which, perhaps consume.
onc-fourth Of all that is collected,
hence the debt grows no less. Nov
NC maintain that the Interna|
Revenue system has too much law
about it and not enough Of common
sense" If common sense coulG
once get hold of the Government,
the whole Internal Revenue Law
would speedily be repealed. and tht
States through their own officers
permitted to COLLECT their portion
Of the debt. The adoption Of thil
plan would give hope to the ovel
burdeued taxpayers Of the country

The inequality of representation in
the State of Maryland is just now Il
subject of discussion there. This is an
old topic, and was ex pounded with
great force by the Hon. Montgomery
Blair in 1850, when he was a Radical,
and was stumping for Lincoln and
Hamlin. The evil is one which dates
from the early history of the State, but
no serious attempt was made TO correct
il either i'll the Constitution of 1864,
whose chief purpose was the abolition
of slavery, or i'll that of 1867, which was
designed mainly to remove the dis
examinations which the Constitution of
1864 had set up against citizens that
had aided the rebellion either by act or
sympathy. The basis of representation
was little, if ut all, changed by these
Constitutions, and is to-day substan-
TALLY if not precisely what it was sew
ty-five years ago.
The difficulty Is that the Constitution
assigns to each county arbitrarily, ana
without due regard to the magnitude of
its population, the number OF its repre-
sentatives in the Legislature. Thus the
fifteen counties in The southern part OF
the State, with an aggregate OF 81 QUO
registered voters. have 40 members /;
while eight northern counties, includ-
ing Baltimore city, with an aggregate
of 81 900 registered voters, have but G2
members. Ofthese eight counties, Bal
timore city alone has nearly 5000 more
voters than the whole fifteen southern
counties, and yet it has but II repre-
seutatiyes to their 40. If the COmpari.
son be made by Congressional districts,
the inequality is no less remarkable.
The first district, containing the south
ern counties on the eastern shore, has
%. 500 voters and so members OF the
Legislature; while the second district,
of which Baltimore is part, has 49,
600 voters and only II members.
1t is only by persistent agitation that
an abuse OF this kind can be remedied.
The possessors of unjust power will
cling to it with ObStinncy. and will find
plenty of venerable reasons for its pres
ervation. But such wrongs must give
wav at last before the weight OF public
opinion, especially in country where
thew are in contradiction with both the
fundamental principles OF public policy
and with the instincts of every unOlhss-
al mind.

fought. The fight was won by Allen.
Davis was terribly punished, while AL
len looked comparatively fresh and re-
ceived but few injuries. AT the close OF
the ight the pugilist, Chas. Gallagher,
offered to fight the winner for thousand

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-2:30 a. NJ.
The speeches of Representative Loan
and Senator Drake tonight, brought
out great crowd, and the excitement
part of the time, was very great. 1t was
expected that Drake would speak first,
and thus give General SchurZ an OPP
pOrtunity to reply tonight, but Loan
was thrust forward to kill time and
force Schurz over until tomorrow.
Loans speech was confined almost
entirely to a history OF himself, the
war and its causes, and abuse of the ST.
Louis Democrat, which, he charged,
was attempting to divide the purty, and
which, he sad, was despised by all
true Radicals. He also sOundly be-
rated the Germans for voting against
the Constitution in 1865 and negro SUIT
lrage in 1867. OF SchurZ he said he had
no influence with his cOuntrymen, and
need never expect to amount to any
thing in the United States Senate. Loan
created no enthusiasm, and his speech
fell like II dead weight. Drake then
came forward, and from huge pile OF
manuscript began to read. He COM
menced mildly, and stated that he had
not designed to go 10 Jefferson when he
came from Washington (Which can
very easily be refuIed); but, learning
that IA war was being waHed against
him, he went up 10 defend himself he
accused SchuIZ of attacking him with
out cause, and declared that he lDrake)
had opposed negro suffrage Oh the
ground that to favor it would have de-
feated tho Constitution.
General SchurZ here asked him If
that was the only reason for his oppOsi-
tion, and whether he had not said the
negro had no right to the franchise?
Drake very haughtily inquired if
SchurZ dared to say that lie had ever
used such words.
SchuTH said lie did dare To Huy so, and
produced il speech made by Drake III
the Constitutional Convention, and read
the very words from it. This produced
great excitement and prolonged cheer
ing.
From this time on Drake was furious,
and plunged into IA muddened defense
of his position, and fierce dlatrlhe
against the Germans and Verybody
else. But his force was broken. lie
had been overmatched, and after talk
ing an hour and half he yielded to Al
motion to adjourn, and will finish his
speech tomorrow night, when SchuIZ
will reply.
The Schurz men are jub liant tonight,
and declare that loan is surely beaten,
but meanwhile Henderson is looming
up and gathering strength, and the con
ilict is by no means over. 1t will be
short, however, for the regular nOnl-
mating caucus will be held "Wednesday
night, and if the decision of that body
is adhered TO the fight will end, but OF
this there is no assurance. The excite
meent is so great and the feeling so bit
ter that there is scarcely doubt but
that every means will be used to defeat
SchurZ, no matter what the result OF
the caucus may be.
