WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

The New York Sun, Republican jour
nal, and one that supported Gen. Grant for
the Presidency in 1867, complains that the
policy pursued by the latter will ultimate
ly lead to the destruction of the Republic
can party. Under the above caption it
says:
The Republican party is threatened with
disruption on the San Domingo business !;
and whose fault is it3
1t is the fault of President Grant alone.
He tried last year to get this odious job
through the Senate, but failed signally.
If he had common sense, he would have
left it there But, either because his self
love was engaged in it, or some of his fav-
orites were going to make a great deal of
money out of it, he determined to push it
through regardless of consequences. Ac-
cordingly, taking the advice of Senator
Morton, much shrewder man than him
self, he had it introduced into the Senate
in an entirely new form. This involved
the decentralization of all that had been
done about it before. But that made no
difference; he determined, if he could not
carry his own point on San Domingo, to
carry something as like it as possible. And
so Morton's resolution has been crowded

THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.

The year 1870 will be marked as an i'm
porlant one for many events of world wide
importance that have occurred during that
period. In that year all Europe has been
upheaved by war and revolutions unprece-
Tented, almost, in Importance and magnitude.
The Ecumenical Council declared durip g
that time the infallibility of the Pope, and
following close upon the event the sovereign
Pontiff was deprived of his temporal posses.
sions The Empire of France has been over
thrown, and the power of Prussia has we'll
nigh overshadowed the rest of Europe.
These are but q few events of the first mag
nitude. Others, second only to these in i'm.
pOrtance, will also be chronicled as having
happened in the memorable year of 1870.
In our own country, many events of prime
Importance have also occurred. Happily
we have no national wars or bloodshed to re.
cord; but such are not the events alone
that are always the most important Ma.
terial prosperity is retarded too far by these
not to congratulate ourselves upon their
non-occurrence.
In our own county, many things have hap
pened. Almost every citizen will be able to
recall such as will probably affect his own
veal or woe for time to come, as such have
happened and will happen with the occur
renee of every year. Many things, also, have
not happened-as for instance the building OF
the MARYLAND Central Railroad. Will anoth.
er year be rendered more memorable on ac-
count of its being built?

All this giatuitous disturbance is due to
President Grant alone. There was no
reason or occasion for any such outbreak.
Nobody cared for San Domingo except the
President and the ring of spectators who
expect to get rich out of its annexation
When Gen. Grant was nominated for the
Presidency, he said that, if elected, he
should never have any policy to enforce
against the win of the people. He would
have done we'll to stick to that rule.

were double festival, that of Sunday being
by the world. 1t is of the doings of Monday
that we wish to speak. The day was all that
could be desred-bittcr cold-just such
weather as we are prone to associate with
the season of nuts, and cake and wine. The
suspension of business was almost general,
and the indulgence in the hilarity and good
cheer that Christmas brings, was universal
with all our citizens. Many kept open house
for the entertainment of friends, and the hun.
CRY and thirsty were RECALLED with abundance
ofgood cheer
The traditional Christmas goose exhaled
its savory incense on the family boarl of
many household, and poor indeed and
friendless were they who failed to recognize
the season, or were passed by in the general
distribution of the good things of this life.
Among those who received" were VIM
Young, Esq, and our genial Sheriff, Robert
E. Morgan, who sat II magnificent table Of
fluids and solids. Quite a number of gen

Mr.. J. F. Ashton, of the Hartford House, and
Robert N. Hanna, of the Eagle Hotel, also
entertained their guests and friends with de-
licious egg-nog, liquors and cake.
Upon the streets the day was made vocal
with the juveniles, by the explosion of that
abominabe invention of the Heather Chinee,
the fre-cracker, and Roman candles.
AS evening approached, the enthusiasm of
the day began to subside, and when night
drew her mantle about the village, peace and
quietness reigned supreme. Though those
bibuously inclined found Intoxicating bever-
ages more plentiful than water, the day pass

Maryland Jockey Club in 1879 has closed
with the magnificent entry Of ciyhty-nine

to take the place of the Dinner Party Stake,
which was the distinguishing feature of the
inaugural meeting of the Maryland Jockey
