Inauguration.

Governor ". Pinkney Whyte. the new
Governor of Maryland was inaugurated oil
Wednesday last. The ceremonies were
very short, not occupying more than tel
minutes. The Inaugural address was very
brief, and in good taste. remarkable for t;
Democratic document. The Eastern shore
delegates held a caucus on Tuesday night
for the purpose of selecting 4 United State
Senator, but it is reported that nearly
every county on the shore had a member
for that Office, who was best qualified tc
take care Of the Nations interest at wash
ington, and no definite understanding was
arrived at; SO it is probable that the ives
tern shore will find one to take the "Sand
Crabs" place, as Crawford used to style
our worthy Senator.
1t will be remembered by every one We
should suppose, that the United States taA
on Legacies and SUGGESTIONS was repealed
in 1870. The late retiring Governor Bowie
in his message condemns it, and counscls
its repeal, and Hon. Frederick Stone offers
resolution asking the Legislature t,
instruct our members in Congress to urg'
the repeal of said tax. Surely these Dem
ocratic Statesmen of Maryland, are absent
minded. John W. Davis Of Baltimore was
elected State Treasurer.

Mr.. GreCley'S Latest Letter.

Mr.. Horace Greeley is the editor in chief
of the New York Tribnne. which is gener-
ally considered to be the chief Republican
paper in the country. Mr.. Greeley's abil-
ity and his services to the Republican cause
in other years are universally conceded
But while the Tribune as at present con-
Quoted, is more powerful instrument for
the diSorganization and defeat of the
Republican party than the entire Demo-
cratic press of the country combined, Mr.
Greeley himself, as now appears, writes
private letters to the editors of Democratic
papers advising them as to tho true policy
of the Democratic party in 1872, which he
thinks should be the nomination of "some
man like Gratz Brown. or Trumbull, or
Gen. Cox, late Secretary of the Interior"
The reply to any criticism upon the con-
duct of Mr.. Greeley usually is that he is
an honest man. 1t is not necessary to dis
pute that assertion in order to cstaplish
the fact that Mr.. Greeley's Judgment is not
to be trusted. A Republican editor who,
while, as we think, doing his utmost to
discredit the Administration of his own
party, privately advises Democratic leaders
how they can most surely defeat the Repub
lican party, does not seem to us to be a
Republican editor of sound Judgment or
of remarkable fidelity to his party friends
BY his letter 10 the editor of the Lexiug-
ton (Missouri) Caucasian, Mr.. Greeley
seems to us to take very much the same
attitude in regard to the Republican party
that Chief Justice Chase did in 1868,
when he consented to be Democratic can
didate for the Presidency. 1t is true that
in replying to the suggestion that he should
be the Democratic candidate in 1872, Mr..
Greeley says that sit would place lis all in
false POSITION But the reason he gives
is the fact that the Democratic party is
composed mostly of free traders, while he
is a protectionist; and he proceeds to sug-
gest the candidate whom they should take
in his place, as Mr.. Chase might have
advised the Tammany leaders who had
asked him to stand.
There are those who think that the Re-
publicans who favor the denomination of
General Grant seem to suppose that he has
a vested right to the nomination. The
suggestion is absurd, because those Repub
licans urge it with no more resolution than
his opponents resist it. But whatever the
errors and follies of Administration Repub-
licans may be, what is to be thought of
those who complain that they are not al
lowed to have their own preferences in the
party, and who are not at the same time
engaged in advising the Democrats how to
defeat the party ?-Harpers' Weekly

NOrSted Factories.

\ factory which started in Philadelphia
in lS6. manufactured worsted dress goods
to the value of s., 400, 600 in the census
year of 1S69-.0. Before this factory be-
gan: the retail price of poplins such as it
makes was S1.l0 The same goods were
sold here the past year. wholesale, at 42s
cents, an! could be bought at retail for less
than half the former price. This is anOth-
er OF the very many cases where the tariff
is not a tax upon anybody except the for
eign dealer. since it has reduced the price
of the protected article instead of increas-
ing it by the amount of the duty, as the
free traders say it invariably must.
Again worsted reps retailed in 1867 as
nigh as sc a yard, and wholesaled at So. 80.
But in that year an enterprising Philadel-
phian commenced the manufacture of such
goods, and soon was able to place them on
the market at $1.G0,. and retailed them by
The piece at $l.S0, nor were they of infer
lnr quality, for many merchants were una
lie to distinguish them from the import ed
md for some time they were sold as such.
In this instance, too, the duty, instead of
being charge upon consumers. has reduc-
ed the price more than one half, and fore
I'd the foreign manufacturers to relinquish
large part of their former profits.
We have the names of both the firms
whose enterprise in establishing new man
nfactures in our city has, beside expand
ing business and furnishing additional en-
ployment for skilled labor cheapened arti
cles of very general consumption. The
names will be furnished to any one who
doubts these statements.
Protection always has the same tender
cy unless its aid be foolishly invoked in
behalf of efforts to coax into existence
industries which could never under any
circumstances thrive in this country. Why
should we sell our wool and cotton to the
English at whatever they choose to pay
for it, send them our breadstuils upon the
same terms to feed their mill operatives
and then buy back from them cotton and
woollen goods at whatever they choose to
ask, ourselves paying the cost of transport
tation both ways" In other words, why
should we sell Europe whole skins for
shilling and buy back the tails for dollar
when we have enough labor and no lack of
skill, ingenuity, or enterprise at home3
The farmers wheat will purchase great
ly more fabrics if it goes to feed operatives
in factories on the same side of the Allan
tic Ocean, and the nearer the factory is
brought to his farm the more profitable
will be the exchange for both parties. So
efficient has the present protective tariff
already proved that 9S per cent. of our i'm
mense wheat crop of 1870 found market
in the United States, and but two per cent
of it were the producers obliged to send
abroad.-Press.

THE TEACHERS NORMAL ASSOCIA-
TION.

The Teachers Normal Association met
I at Port Deposit, on the 9Th of January,
and entered upon business, with more than
! usual enthusiasm. The attendance and
the vim that characterized the meeting,
demonstrated that there is a latent power
| in the Association.
At about the usual hour, the President
took the chair. The Secretary read the
minutes of the last meeting.
The President of Committee upon Lee
ture. reported that DR.. Nelson, professor
| in St. Johns College had consented to
lecture for the association.
The question, "Ought Grammar to be
taught in the Common Schools, or simply
in the High Schools ." csused an animated
debate, in which all seemed aroused. The
impression seemed to be, it ought to be
taught in Common Schools Some rea-
sons why Grammar is not thoroughly mas
tered were as follows: Irregularity Of
attendance at school; a want of better text
books the elementary grammar now in
USE was uHRuitneuSly cOnQemneC), ana
competent instructors. Some of the rea
sons why grammar can be taught in Com
mon Schools were as follows: A child can
be as easily taught to speak correctly as
incorrectly; grammar is taught in large
cities where training is more thorough.
Mr.. Calhoun read an essay upon Little
Things
He reminded us that great discoveries,
mighty conquest, and all vast operations,
originated from little things. His language
was neat and chaste, and the subject mat
ter showed him to Re an independent think

One of the treats of the occasion, was
the reading of '' Ye Did 1t Unto Me- by
Miss r. Stephenson. l need not say any
thing in favor of the reading, rs her repu-
tation has gone forth as an accomplished
elocutionist. Her selections manifested

her acts, She is one whom we cannot we'll

LETTER FROM OMAHA, NEBRASKA
OMAHA, NEB. Jan. 4th, 1872.

OMAHA, NEB. JAN. 4CN, 1ClS.
DEAR WH1a:-Pardon our familiarity
When we look back to your origin in the
'log cabin and find ourself one Of the
original stockholders of the press and mate
rials used by Lyndic Elliott, in publishing
what was known as the Port Deposit Roch
"a name we never admired-and find You
have been one Of our household ever since.
we almost feel familiarity amounting to
relationship; and as we have contributed
our might annually for some thirty-two
years, we feel no disposition to try and
keep house without your weekly visits,
while we both have an existence in the
business world.
When we last wrote you that we had
endured delay of trains on the L. P.
Road, of three days, we did not anticipate
that we were to submit to so serious
detention as has followed. Up to to day,
we have not had an arrival from California
since Friday, 22d of Dec; and although
trains have been started West almost every
alternate day. We fear few, if any, have
reached San Francisco since that date
Severe snow storms have been of almost
daily occurrence, with high winds drifting
the snow fearfully. The cold has been
doubly severe, and notwithstanding the
almost superhuman efforts of the Company,
with as heavy force ef men as could be
employed to profit, it has been impossible
to keep the track clear of drifting snow
The Company have run train from Chey-
enne, in order to keep up communication
with their general headquarters, and to
prevent suffering on that part of the road
accessible to travel. and by this means
relieved much suffering which would have
otherwise occurred for want of provisions,
&c. The road being clear of obstruction
between Omaha and Cheyenne, SIG miles,
we confidently expect four passenger trains
during the ensuing twenty four hours. In
the meantime, some six trains will reach
Ogden, and we hope communication with
the Central Pacific and California and
Nevada will be resumed again.
1t is almost incredible, the ameunt of
mail and other matter of importance being
delayed, to say nothing of the heavy freight
already piled up at Omaha and different
points along the road, beside every car, of
every description, being used to accommo-
date shippers of merchandise and prodr.ce.
Persons shipping live stock to Calf fornia,
have suffered much inconvenience which
will possibly convince them of the imprac-
ticability of the enterprise at this season
of the year.
! The weather having been clear and mild
! for two successive days, we have hopes the
fury of the elements has been exhausted,
and we again may have seasonable weather.
Omahaians are jubilant over the decision
of the L. P. Railroad Company to establish
permanently their great depot and transfer
accommodations on the Nebraska side of
the Missouri River, where they should be.
as we'll as the work and repair shops, as
they now are permanently and successfully
carried on. OCCASIONAL.
