SANDS RUNNING 0UT.-The national balance
sheet that was completed up to the 3Oth of June
last, showed the receipts for the year ending on
that date to aggregate $3.50, 323, 944.s9, and the
expenditures for the same period footed up $780,
III, lsS Is, including Sl25, SIG, SOS that was
paid out as interest on the public debt, but not
including Sl2O, 735, 147ls expended in the pur-
chase 0 f bonds for the Sinking Fund. Well
done faithful Mr. Boutwell, You have conducted
the finances OF this great nation so we'll that
Democrats have been constrained to endorse
your good work.
Paying all the ordinary expenses of a govern
ment, paying the interest on the public debt, pay
ing of the principal of the debt itself, reducing
the amount Of The GnnudI interest by reducing the
rate Of interest, reducing taxation at the rate Of
eighty millions per annum, reducing the current
expenses of the nation by working the depart
meuts with fewer officials, securing the collec-
ton of greater percentage of the national rev.
enues than has ever heretofore been done, all
these by the administration at the same time, are
stubborn, rrefutsble facts that cannot be gain
sayed or set aside by the empty accusation Of
Democratic stump orators or Democratic papers.
Honest men who do the voting know how to ap-
prec;aie work like Mr. BoutwelPs.

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER About 9 o'clock on
Saturday evening last a terrible railroad COLI
sion occurred near Boston on railroad leading
to Bangor. 1t appears that a passenger way
train had left Boston at lis p. IN. and the Ban
gor'express at p. N. While the way train was
stopping at Beverly and just in the act ofstartng,
the express train, running at almost lightning
speed, dashed through the two rear cars of the
train, although the rear car had signal light
flying, and a signal light at the station also gave
warning. When about sixty rods from the train
the engineer on the express saw the danger and
whstled 'down breaks, 4" but it was too late to do
more than alarm the inmates of the train ahead
whose death came almost simultaneously with
this its harbinger
The two rear cars were crowded with passen
gers, many OF whom were unable to obtain seats
The engine dashed through the cars teIescoping
them, the splintered fragments tumbing out on
the sides, the steam boiler becoming uucapped,
the steam and boiling water roasting and scald-
ing the wounded and dying, scalding to death
those who had otherwise escaped it. The scene
was terrible beyond description. Twenty five
were instantaneously killed. More than fifty
others were mountaineering broken legs or
arms, terribly steamed or scalded-many of
whom cannot escape death.

LINCOLN MONUMENT A beautiful monument is
being erected to the memory of that great and
good man, Abraham Lincoln, near the spot in
Springfield, Illinois, where his dust reposes.-
The architectural part of this monument, which
is nearly completed is the work of W. D. Rich
ardson, of Springfield 1t has solid base Of
granite. This base is thirty-one feet high, and
seventeen feet square. 1t is surrounded by
terrace of seventy-four feet square. On this
stands the monument proper, the granite base
being sixteen feet below thssurface The height
of the monument is eighty-ive feet, is twelve feet
square at the base and tapers to apex ofeght feet
square at the top. A circular iron stairway as
cends inside, and by mounting this good view
can be had from windows cut in the shaft few
feet from the top. At the base is catacomb
which contains six crypts-one for the remains
of the immortal Lincoln and five for the other
members of his family. Over the entrance door
is to be placed the coat-of-arms OF the U. S. in
bronze, and near it is be placed the bronze stat
ne of Lincoln facing the South On the terrace are
to be placed four statues in bronze, representing
infantry, cavalry, artillery and the navy of the
U. S. The architectural part of the monument
will cost Sl36, $50. The cost of the statue will
be$13, 700, and the coat-of-arms 81, 500. $780,
900 were subscribed before the work began
Large subscriptions we're given by the colored
Sunday Schools 1t is probable that the mouu-
ment will be dedicated in the fall.

rs A Republican newspaper styled the Ma
ryland Nesrs, is to be published at Forestville,
Prince Georges county. The first issue is TO ap-
pear on the 18th instant. Republicanism is gain
ing ground A few years ago no man would
have been allowed to start newspaper to dis
seminate Republican sentiments there. Its pub
Usher could not have rented an Office then for that
purpose If be had been fortunate enough to
own one, it would have been mobbed and gut
ted and himself converted into dangling orna-
neut for lamp post or tree for entertaining
the idea of publicly expressing his candid senti-
ments. The world moves even in Prince Georges.

The New York Citizen, whose editor, Mr..
Robert B. Roosevelt, is the Democratic Con-
gresham from the Fourth District favors a
reorganization of parties. The reason for this
is given in the following paragraph:
"There is good deal of very serious talk in
political circles of another new departure
Both sides are dissatisfied; the Republican
party is composed of incongruous and hetero-
geneous materials, while the Democracy has
been considerably divided by the proposal of a
change of issue. Portions of each would like
to come together and start afresh. As matters
stand at present, Democracy is almost sure of
defeat in 1872; the new departure weakened
it, the riot added to the disintegratiOn, and the
attacks of the Times have destroyed the last
hope. 1t is true that in the city, as we pre-
dicted, the feeling about the latter is dying out
already the municipal extravagances and
populations are no longer the subjects OF general
conversation they once were, and before six
months are over they will probably be forgot
ten. But they have produced their effect in
the country, where, with the aid of the anti
Catholic feeling, they have dug the grave OF
Democracy, and will bury it in the approach
ing Presidential election
These are unpleasant prophecies for the ever
hopeful Democracy. They throw a wet blanket
upon the vain endeavors of the Democratic
Address" makers in Congress and Democratic
aspirants for the Presidential and Vice Presi-
Dental nominations The Citizen, the Times,
the "ring'' in New York city, few more or
ders of Kelso under the direction of Hall, one
or two more riots like that of the 18th of July,
a few more Court House "jobs" and "sich" will
do the canvassing for the Republican party,
and will induce the Democratic nominees in
1S72-like Gen. McCook of Ohio-to get sick
and withdraw from the canvass.
The Citizen is getting ready to dig the grave
of the Democracy, and we believe the Demo-
crazy is getting ready as fast as it can to get
into it in 1872. We say peace to thy ashes

g2S~ On Sunday last the Steamer Ocean
Wave,' with two hundred passengers aboard
on an excursion, near Mobile Alabama, ex-
ploded her boiler killing 35 persons outright
and wounding so or 60 others in a frightful
manner Upon investigation it appears that
the boiler was entirely rotten, and literally
ripped in two by the pressure of the steam.
This case appears to have more criminalty
attached to 1t than was to the horrible West
field case In New York harbor few Sundays
ago.

IT IS Your BUsINEss.-All who are in any
way interested in the defeat of the Democratic
party and the Inauguration of better era in
the control of our State and county finances
should attend the Republican primary meetings
one week from yesterday and to-day.
If a ticket is selected or policy pursued that
shall not meet with your appreciation, you
have no right to utter complaint or to criticize
unless you are on hand and by your voice and
vote point out and ward off what to you may
seem impolitic or unjust.
Remember that the control of political par
ties and political affairs begins at the primary
meetings 1t is there they get their shape, and
as they are there shaped so they go on almost
unaltered up to the legislative halls and the
gubernatonal chair. If you wish to be heard,
if you wish your influence felt, the primary
meeting is the place to make yourself heard
and felt. Then go there. Don't leave your
business to be transacted by another.
Remember, good men, the call extends an
invitation to all, who feel disposed to, to parti-
cipate.

rs The most unmerciful set of sharks that
attack the sea-faring man or immigrants that
come to New York are the officials that meet
them at Quarantine and on the docks of New

officer, DR.. John M Oarnochan. The fees of his
office are worth sixty thousand dollars per al
