-Twenty-one States have voted this
year. These are New Hamshire, Connec-
ticut, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, California, Iowa, West Yir
ginia, New York, Massachusetts,, Mime.
sofa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Kan.
sas, Mississippi, New Jersey, Texas, Vir.
ginia, and Maine. All but six went Repub-
lican, and two Of these six New Jersey
and New Hampshire) will be easily won
back next year. Coneeding them to the
opposition, however; and leaving out all
the other States which have nTSt voted, the
Republicans have already more tilaa ma
.jority of the Electoral College. THIS is
nice calculation for the Democrats to base
their Presidential speculation upon.

Our OF DEBT OUT OF DANGER, is a
good old maxim. Being out of debt GER
tainly keeps one out of a great many dan
gers. Besides atfording comfortable feel
ing to the mind it makes a man feel indie
pendent to act as he pleases. 1t is indus
try, economy, and thrift that enable the
working man to say, az owe no man -
and to be able to say this is a good capital.

Senators held over from last year, but Sen
ator Maddox dying in the interim, necessi

ELECTION FRAUDS.

1t is reported that frauds to Il considera-
BILE extent were practiced in the city OF
Baltimore and in several of the counties
of the State, by the Democrats, at the
recent election, and by the Registers in
preparing the lists of voters. In this
county, we hear charges made of cheating
in some of the Districts. In the Fifth Dis
trict there are strong grounds of accusation
against the Register. In one instance, the
name of gentleman, Mr.. Edward Kemp,
was stricken from the list by the Register,
on the ground that he was born in Europe
and had not taken out naturalization
papers. Mr.. Kemp was brought to Amer
lea when child, by his parents, his father
having been naturalized, and the son attain
ing his majority in this country has voted
several years previous. The Register wrote
upon the margin of the list, name erased
on account of having no naturalization
papers. The Judges decided that his name
was not on the list of voters, which was all
they could decide; and Mr.. Kemp was, by
GHlS piece VI
of his vote. Such Registers should be
prosecuted before United States court, if
such cases will lie in that court. With the
present Democratic political Judiciary OF
Maryland if would be impossible to obtain
Justice in one of our courts for such 4 viz
tuous act as cheating Republican out OF
his vote. In the First District there is a
strong suspicion of illegal management,
which invites investigation. There is
strong belief prevalent that Mr.. Job Haines
and Mr.. David Palmer are elected on the
Republican ticket, in addition to Mr.. Strick-
land and Mr. Passmore. If the count OF
votes was wrong in the First District, either
through incompetency, carelessness OF de
sign, we presume an examination of the
tickets and poll lists would detect the error.
| The candidates whose election is thus
placed in doubt should examine into the
matter.

Russia Threatening Austria.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Lordon Stan:
dard is informed that Russia has under
taken special armaments on a gigantic
scale. She is forming two fortified
camps, each to have 10000 men. One
has been established at Smolensk, and
the other will probably be located on
the Galician frontier. The London
Standard has reason to believe that these
military preparations are directed more
particularly against Austria, because the
appointment Of Count Androssy at the
head of the Imperial Council is resar-
ded at St Petersburg as unfavorable to
Russia.
