The TREASURY OF MARYLAND is in bad
condition, in consequence of the excessive
expenditures since the Democracy came into
power. The Legislature was informed, on
Monday week, by the State Comptroller, that
after the payment of current liabilities, there
will be on April lst,a deficiency of s3so,ooo.
The Legislature stared, Of course, though
every sensible man has seen what their reck-
lessness must soon come 10. Their only
remedy is to squeeze their fat hen, the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad Company, for more
golden eggs, and threaten her with deprl-
walton of her charter, if she doesn'tlay them,

supposed TO be craftsmanship! Alas, poor

MKssRs Fisk & HATCH have introduced
upon the market the Loan Of the CHEsA-
PEAKE AND ONO RAILROAD COMPANY, which
has been waited for with considerable inter
est, as one of the most important financial
undertakings connected with the current
new railroad enterprises. The object of the
road, in opening a new route from the West
to the Atlantic--which promises TO come in
formidable competition with the great trunk
roads of the Atlantic consciousness this Loan
to rank foremost among the many now be-
fore the public. The scheme Is backed by
the most prominent and successful railroad
capitalists in the country, and the negotia-
ton of the loan is undertaken by bankers
who have marketed the largest railways
loans of late years-ncluding the Cent
raj Pacific and the Western Paciiic-and
whose reputation for caution, honor, and
conscientious probily is such as to command
confidence in any securities they may offer.
The intrinsic merit Of the Bonds may be
ascertained from a prospectus in another
column. They are issued in denominations
of 300, $500, and $1,000, and are either
coupon or registered, making them a pecu-
liarly popular loan. The Bonds run 80
years, and are peyable, principal and inter-
est, 10 gold, in the City of New York.

DOWN WITH THE Sd ULSB URY
RING

ltL1fo
All the issues before the people of Della
ware, In this campaign of 1870, may be
summed up in single question. That ques-
ton is to be met, face to face, and Judged in
its own nakedness. 1t is just this;
SHALL THE SALISBURY RING RULE, ANY
LONGER
In previous campaigns, we have had other
and apparently greater questions before US,
proceeding out of national affairs. The great
parties of the country have drawn sharp
lines OF division throughout all the States,
and men have had to square themselves on
those lines.
But things, this year, are very different.
National politics are quiescent The adop-
iion of the 18th Amendment by 80, out of
the 81 States, has settled the last remaining
phase of the distractlng and embarrassing
negro question A colored citizen has at
last his equal political rights-nothing less
than the white citizen, nothing more. That
matter is settled, and done with.
The country is at Peace. The great Re-
publican organization has control Of nearly
all the States has two-thirds of Congress !;
and the whole Executive department, with
all its multitude of official appointments.
The Administration is proceeding, indus
trious!y and resolutely, but quietly, in the
payment of the public debt, by the honest
collection and economical expenditure OF
the revenues.
In such calm outside, we are now most
fortunately permitted to attend to our State
affairs Most fortunately, we say, for never
since the State had an existence, did they
so badly need the care Of honest and intelli-
gent men. We are como q look into them,
not day too soon.
But coming thus to look, the people OF
Delaware are brought squa-ely to decide the
question we have stated. They fId theil
Treasury empty, their credit deprecated, {
great debt contracted, and burdensome take!
laid on all departments of industry,
: But they find, more than this, that al
these evil results are duet the management
and lie in the control, of narrow, selfish
cold-blooded, ard grasping 'Ring" The few
individuals composing it have fastened them
f selves like lceches upon the public The.
| have clutchtd the State by the throat, AM
j are numbering it by inches.
; Now, we say, the people come, plainl
and simply, to decide that one question
