BALTIMORE'S RAIL ROADS.

The First Branch of the Baltimore City
Council, on Tuesday of last week, took up
the ordinance authorizing the endorsement
by the city, of the bonds of the Kent Coun-
ty Railroad Company, and after spirited
discussion, amended it by striking out the
name of the Kent County Road, and insert
ing that of the Elkton g. Masseys Railroad,
by the decisive vote of to 6, and after fur
iher discussion, the consideration of the Or
dinance as amended was indefinitely post
poned.
In the course of the debate on the amend
ed ordinance, Mr.. Mullen, from the Goth
Ward, truly said; "the local trade OF Elk
'ton now goes to Philadelphia, and he was
"afraid that when the road proposed by Mr..
"Carter was completed, the trade would still
ego to Philadelphia. He did not think the
"city ought to endorse any of the Eastern
"Shore roads at this time"
This action is decisive for the present ses-
sion, at least, and disagreeable as it may
seem to the friends of the two roads, 1t is in
accordance with the plain dictates of business
common sense. The Baltimore City Council
evidently accepts the situation, and secs that
no railroad can be built that will surely bring
that city the Eastern Shore trade. BY water
communication her advantage is immense,
but every mile Of railroad built tends to
overcome that advantage, and it would be
mildly suicidal in her TO assist in their con-
struction.
This action, taken in connection with the
fact that the city has recently made munfi-
cent contributions in aid of the Valley Rail
road of Virginia, the Western Maryland, and
other roads, shows that Baltimore recognizes
the fact that her commercial opportunities
lie West and South, and does not intend to
iritter away time and money in vainly seek
ing to hold the Eastern Shore trade against
natural tendencies, especially when such
trade is comparatively small, when viewed
beside that which she seeks In the fields in
dicated.
Baltimore is not ungcnerous; she simply
concludes TO stop kicking against the pricks,
and when the Eastern Shore people shall do
likewise, they will have taken long stride
towards the natural and systematic devel-
opement of the whole Peninsula, as well as
their own section of it. Impractical schemes
for paper railroads will cease to attract en-
ergy and capital away from valuable enter
prises, and the people will grow in manliness
as they get accustomed to putting their own
shoulders to the wheels, instead of going Q
begging for outside aid. So, too, their atten-
ton being turned to their true system Of
railroad communications, toward Whining
ton and Philadelphia, the homogeneous
Peninsula will progress toward that unity in
State government, which it now has in facI
and by nature.

HEARTY ACCORD BETWEEN THE ADMINIsTRA-
T1oN AND CoNGREss-THE RECORD OF PRES
IDENT GRANT.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Timesl
| WASHINGTON, Saturday, March l2, 1870.
| There is manifestly better state of feel
ing here in Republican circles than there was
thirty days ago, and the prospect is that it
will continue to improve. Three weeks ago
| | took occasion to ailude to the fact that the
| entente cordiale between Congress and
| the Administration had apparently become
| impaired, and that, too, without cause suili-
cient to enable either party to justify itself
in permitting, much less fomenting, GOODNESS,
indifference in dissensions. Those illusions
were freely canvassed by leading members
of Congress and of the Administration, and
their iruthfulness was fully admitted. AT
the same time there was depreciation of
the existence of such feeling, and the close
observer of events during the past two
weeks has not failed to discover apparently
spontaneous efforts by both parties to achieve
better and more cordial understanding. This
feeling has been, perhaps, to an Indifferent
observer, almost impalpable, but its existence
is nevertheless fact, and it is perfectly ap-
parent to any one who studies the political
situation and bIeathes the political atnos-
phere of Washington. of one thing think
the country may rest assured, that, so far as
the President is concerned, he means to do
all he can to preserve the unity and integri-
ty of the Republican Party. He believes,
however, that certain amount of purging
is necessary, and that party which has the
courage to purge itself will also have the
strength to carry and control the country.
Let any person who is thoughtfully study
ing the. future course of politics, and espe-
cally the possible chances of the two par

ton is laying for its future success. Twelve

At a meeting of representatives of Ma
tlonal banks and other banking institutions
of the West, in Chicago, Saturday,a memori-
al to the us. House Of Representatives was
agreed upon, asking that the provisions ol
the Funding bill compelling the exchange
by the National banks of their deposited
bonds for the war issues, be stricken out.
They argue that the measure is uncOnstitu-
tional in spirit, and an attempt virtually to
confiscate large portion of their capital
that it will prove detrimental to mercantile
as well as financial interests, and that there
should be no further legislation on banking,
except, perhaps, making 1t free.

At Keokuk, Iowa, on the 10Th instant, a
strike of the workmen ON the Desmoines
Rapids Government improvements took
place, owing TO the hours of labor being in
creased without an increase of pay. On
Thursday, 1900 of the strikers, armed, and
hoisting red flag, attacked few laborers
who had resumed work, and drove them off.
The rioters then went to some adjacent stone
quarries, where serious fight occurred, and
several men were badly injured. They then,
with augmented numbers, advanced on
Scott's Mills, the superintendent of which,
with two others escaped down the river In
skiff Soon after, nine Of the rioters were
arrested by the Sheriff. Yesterday morning
the Sheriff. with a large police force, went TO
the scene of hostiliiies, and firing of mus
kerry was going on there yesterday after
noon, with what result was not known
when the dispatches closed.

QUEEN ANNE's COUNTY, Maryland, adjoins
K"at county, of this State. When the Do
yer political managers are in need of Dem
ocratic votes in Kenton, Little Greek, or
West Dover, their friends in Queen Annes
have only short walk to the Delaware
polls.
Now, the Centrevillc ObserVer, organ of
the Queen Anne Democracy, considers, in
its issue of this week, the political situation
of that county, under the 18th Amendment.
1t compares the result in previous years, es-
Inmates the probable colored vote, and con-
cludcs that "the Oote in the State, and in
sour county aoiU 6oth be very close,
"2'dinfuliy so." The closeness being thus
so 'paiuiul," the Observer proceeds to say
that the Democracy must now decide what
to do; whether they will ignore all chance
Of aid from the colored voters, "tbus
"acting precisely as the Republicans
"woud have us dol" or whether they
will "go into the contest, and strive
"to beat the Radicals at their own game
that is in English, to secure the colored

argues for the latter. While it may be un-
pleasant, the other it declares is " suicidal
1t believes that 1t is certain the Democracy
''can so manipulate the negroes as to secure
many votes from them," but it adds that
this can only be effected "by treating them
kindly, fostering their institutions of
"lcarning, and beginning in time to teach
"them upon which side of the contest their
"true friends may be found"
Listen to thisl On one side of an imagin-
ary line, ten miles from Dover, Democracy
pretends to be " white mans party;' on
the other side it is already begging for the
negro vote! In Kent county it is "Cau-
casian in Queen Anne's it is "black and
tan" In one, it thought it could succeed
without the colored man in the other, it
fears II cannot. Hence the difference. Do
the people Of Delaware need any further
explapation?

The New York Star, which has strong
constituency of Democratic workingmen at

assail the efforts made by other journals to
belittle and ridcule the speech Of the new
colored Senator, Mr. Revels. 1t says:
"The Trade Unions of the country un-
derstand these things better than the poll
ticians, and they believe in standing by the
worker, whether white or black, male or
female. It's the laborcr, not the color, the
worker, not the sex, in which they are in

sublime in the fact Off leader of an outlawcd

yE ANOIEsTE r0wNE AWAKENED,
The following stanzas, entitled by the young autf
sour City, were read by Master Elmer W. Clark
the recent examination In the Public Schools,
New Castle:-
OUR CITY.
Two hundred years ago, or more,
There came from Europe's far-oG shore,
A band Of men, 10 settle down
In ihit fair land, and build town;
A spacious city markd they out,
Thinking 'twould grow beyond doubt,
For did 1t not in beauty lay
On Del'ware's broad and ample bays
It's streets capacious, long and wide,
Beyond the rosch of highest tide.
Attest It's founders wise foresight,
In laying out Its highways right,
That trade and commerce might have room
To bring the products Of the loom,
The plow, the anvil OR the forge,
And here their tecmng wealth disgorge.
The Fathers Of the city, saw
(At least in thought) that time would draw
within it's harbor broad and deep,
(where navies might their moorings keep)
The stately ship from every land,
Whose stores market might command;
Bearing to foreign shores their freight
OF produce from the Diamond State.
But true, as told by worthier pen,
''The beet laid schemes O. mice and men
"GsDg aft aglee !" for be it known.
So little progress could be shown,
When century twice had pass'd away,
That men were learning fast, to say
tUnmindful Of it's young renown)
New Castles now finish'd town.
1t was indeed too true, alas;
But wond'reus things have come to pass,
For waking from it's slumber deep.
Like Rip Van winkle from his sletp
1t starts, to find that ence again
It's streets are walk'd by living men,
Who work and plan, with. purpose hish,
Resolved to conquer or TO die;
Determined, all their actions say,
The little town on Del'warc Bay,
Shall yet arise, and take it's place
Among the cities that shall grace &c.,.
In years to come, our favored land;
And busy crowds on every hand,
Shall tread along each ample street,
The pressing claims Of trade to meet
They speak, and 10! the busy mill
Starts into being at their will
And through the town the iron-horse
Fursues his wild, resistlcss course;
To cheer the darkness Of the night
It's streets are luminous with light
That would have dazzled Arabian camp,
More than Aladdin's won 'drous lamp;
And soon to flow beneath the ground,
The Non-Such waters will be found,
Bringing to every house the food
That ccols the iever-heated blood.
And thus there opens ont at last,
Although two centuries have past,
A prospect for our growing town
That shall eclipse it'a young renown;
Protected by the banner bright
That's all bedeck'd with stars Of light,
Waving in triumph In the breeze,
Our ensign on the land and seas.

A SOUTHERN PAPER was heard to COM
plain, recently, Of the terms OF the PROPOSE
tion made in Missouri to so amend the State
Constitution, as ''to enfranchise rebels and
"negroes." 1t thought that the phrase was
" insulting the to ex- x-Confederates. Perhaps
it was, but we infer that the ex-C Confederates
of Missouri are not all of so delicate a stom-
ach, for instance the Lexington Caucasian,
in that State, which recently gave expression
to the followng:-
''The Yankee war steamer, Oneida, cele-
brated Washington's birthday by going to
the bottom of the ocean near Yokohama,
Japan. One hundred and seventy nautical
whelps Of Doodle went down with her."
If this is the type of Missouri rebels.
we feel less scruple about insulting them by
associating their names with those of ne
groes, but we incline to fear that the Re-
publicans Of that State may have made
mistake in enfranchising them, at all.

A Balloon Battle

The following extraordinary state
ment appeared in a Belgian paper
called the NouUeUes du Jour, from
one of the correspondents 1T the seat
OF war, which note was conveyed to
brussels by carrier pigeon:
paris, Oct. I.-Nadar returned
yesterday to Paris. His return was
not effected without much trouble
although his balloon was favored
with good winds since his departnre
from Tours. But will narrate the
facts in their chronological order
He left Tours at o'clock in the
morning, and the bold aeronaut ar
rived in view of Paris at IL o'clock
floating about3, 900 metres above the
fort Of Charenton. At the same
time as the Intrepide appeared
which was the name of Madras
ballOon-a second balloon was OBJ
served in the horizon. Nadar was
seen to display a steamer with the
French national colors. Immedi-
ately another national flag foated
from the car of the other balloon
Vigorous hurrahs and cries of 'Cest
Durof! proceeded from the garrison
Of the fort, greeted the appearance
Of the two aeronauts, whose ballons
gradually approached. When thew
were within a short distance of each
other, suddenly a loud report was
heard in the air, followed by series

of explosions. These were at first
thought to be demonstrations or
signals of victory, until Nadar was
seen to fling himself into the net
work of his balloon and to cling to
its sides. During this time the 9th
er aeronaut continued discharglng
shots at Nadar, which were traced In
the SKY by their luminous effects.
The Intrepide descended rapidly,
and it appeared to the spectators be-
low that some incomprehensible
event had taken place above. But
mark the French flag in the neigh
boring balloon had come to. It had
been removed, and black and vel
low standard was observed to be
floating in its place. Then all was
explained. Treason! 1t is Prus-
sian balloon! He has fired on The In
trepide! Nadar is lostw we're the
cries that burst simultaneously from
the French people. But Nadar was
safe; for he was seen to descend
rapidly in his car, and the balloon
to nearly reach the earth. He cast
out the ballast, and reascended, hav-
ing stopped the hole made by his
adversary. Then shots were rapidly
fred from the Interpide into the
Prussian balloon, which one, losing
all power, descended to earth with
giddy velocity. A detachment OF
Uhlans who we're in the plain, and
who had been following the aerial
combatants throughout the exciting
struggle, rushed forward, and, sur
rounding the balloon, received theil
champion-God knows in what con
dition-anG then all hastened off at
full speed to the Prussian advanced
posts. In the mean time Nadar des
cended safely at Charenton, where
he still remains"
