The Maryland Election.

From the Baltimore Gazette, November To-
The returns of the Maryland election'
which we give this morning, make even a
better showing than those published yes,
terday. Butthe list is not yet complete.
A comparison OF the Radical vote this
year with that cast for the same party
last year, proves, conclusively, that the
claim set up by the American OF large
gains in all sections of the State is
wholly untrue. The loss Of Allegheny
and Frederick counties by the Dem
ocrats, was due to local feuds.
The Radicals carried those counties,
not because Of any material increase on
their vote in 1870, but because large
numbers OF Democrats did not 60 to the
polls at all. In Allegheny the Demo
cratic vote fell short nearly 500. In
Frederick, also, the full party vote was
not polled In the other counties,
although the Democratic vote was
lighter than usual, the Radicals made
no gains and elected no candidates ex-
cept two judges, who were chosen by
local preferences, without regard to
politics, and a few scattering country
officers on the Western Shore. The
Radical delegate claimed from Cecil
was not elected.
That claimed from Queen Anues is
still in doubt whilst from Washington
county, the returns are not full enough
tc say which of the two tickets for the
Legislature was chosen, although the
chances, at the last advices. were in
favor OF the Democratic candidates.
All the exultation OF the american
over the result Of the election is simply
sham. The comparative tables, which
we present elsewhere, show that not
only was the aggregate Radical vote
lighter on Tuesday tha n it was last year;
but what little success the Radicals
have met with has not been, in any in
stance, in consequence Of change in
the popular sentiment, fer that would
have shown itself in larger aggregate
Radical vote-but because Of local
Democratic dissensions. Even with
these drawbacks the Democratic Con-
servative majority, so far as yet heard
from, loots up over l5,000-a thousand
more that the returns Yesterday gave us
reason to expect.

FEARFUL ACcIDENr-NarroW Escape
Of Boy From a Horrible Deah-On
Tuesday evening a lad named Robert
Logan, son OF D. L. Logan, who resides
about quarter of mile from this
town, made a very narrow escape from
horrible death. He, together with
several other boys OF about his own
age, We're playing on Sharps bridge,
and he, more venturesome than the rest,
got outside OF the railing, between the
bridge and embankment, from whence he
fell to the track below, a distance Of
about twenty feet, sustaining severe and
painful injuries HIS comrades were
so badly frightened thatthey were pow.
erless to render him any assistance, and
there he lay on the track in an insensi-
ble condition. The four o'clock train
had whistled about a hundred yards
from the scene oil the accident, when a
heroic lady, Mrs. Roberts, seeing at a
glance, with woman's quick perception,
the dangerous situation OF the boy, ran
to the track and lifted him therefrom,
at imminent peril to herself just in time
to save him from being crushed to
death beneath the wheels of the ap-
preaching train as it came laundering
along at almost lightning speed. All
honor, say we, TO the brave lady who
thus perilel her own life to save that
of a fellow being-.MOundsvilf Re

A bright reddish light

Turning to the southeast, at an eleva-
ton of about thirty degrees, | beheld a
most brilliant meteor descending at an
angle Of, say, forty-fye degrees, leav.
ing-although the meteoric body itself
was white-a trail OF dark crimson,
shaded into white. In a moment il
burst, throwing off, on all sides, white
discs larger than Venus in its greatest
brilliancy.
The novelty Of this strange sight was
not its Illuminating power, which, Tor a
time, obscured the light OF the moon,
but the red trail left BY the meteoric
body.
1t is desirable that others who may

This is far more than the State can afford TO
spend. There is no reduction in the. gross
amount. On the contrary. the appropriation
is increased: The committee of ways ana
means may expect to have their approprla-
tions cut down, and we trust that this will
be done. Here, however, is the broad fact
that the most important committee in the
House, in spite of the veciferous cries OF
Retrenchment aud Reform, propose to spend
this year nearly $500 notethan was spent
last year. We cannot bluader, along in this
way. We cannot forever, allow those who
have no property to tax to death those who
have. The General Assembly has 1t in its
power to blunt the edge OF popular fndlgna-
ton, and excite some interest in its proceed
iugs. But this can only be had by a rigid
adherence to policy of economy. This,
coupled with limitation Of the public debt,
would save the State. To continue the reVel
of extravagance is to ruin the people and
destroy the Radical party We might en-
dure the one affection; the other must be
cured.
