PLAIN SENsE.-This is neither romance
nor poetry, but plain honest truth. Having
worked hard for your money you properly
value its worth and want to get the best
return for it when investing. This is right
and sensible, and every hint that points to
a safe and profitable mode of laying out
your savings should be treasured. The
old proverb says "a penny saved is a
penny earned" There are several ways of
saving money, one Of which is to purchase
your goods only where you can be honestly
dealt with and get full value for money
A rare chance now presents itself of obtain
ing splendid Clothing for spring wear,
with our immense and we'll assorted stock
to select from at lower prices than last
season, at the great bazaar of Bennett &
CO.. Tower Hall, No. 51s Market street,
half way between Fifth and Sixth streets,

The FRENCH ARMS INVESTIGATIONS
Mr.. Williams, of Indiana, from the Com
mittee on expenditures of the War Depart
ment, made report upon the charge of
selling arms to the French Government.
that subject having been fully investiga
ted by the committee, under resolution
OF the House. They report that the Secre-
tary of War was authorized to sell the
arms under the resolution of July, 1865:
that the money realized from such sale was
paid into the Treasury, less the necessary
amounts for repairs and transfer authoriz
ed by the resolution; that no act of the
Secretary of War or any subordinate officer
was in conflict with our duty as neutral
Power in any way whatever; that thel Q is
no testimony showing that any Govern
ment officer was interested pecunarly in
the sale, and that the only party benefited
was the Government of the United States,
the anroximated value of the arms sold
being 100000 900. The report Jews the
testimony at some length. and covers over
thirty pages of manuscript.

The Democracy of this county are still
grumbling over the appointments of Tax
Collectors, and denounce the whole batch
pretty much as a set of scalawags. This
charge it is not our province to endorse or
gainsay, but if true, the party has been
more consistent than was to he expected,
in thus rejecting its spirit. No thought
was taken of any thing but how the mana
gers of the Elkton Democratic ring could
make the most out Of the job. In short
the comedy of new way to pay old debts
was played.

The Northwestern Democrats and Cincin.
natl.

A correspondent writes to the Washing.
ton Chronicle:
" 1t is amusing to see how the old Wheel
Horse Democrats regard the 'Triumvirate
of the Liberal Republican Senator's
Charles D. Robinson, editor and proprietor
of the Green Bay Adoocats for the past
twenty-five years, may not be known to
you, but Charles and his paper are leading
lights in Northwestern Democracy, and his
estimate of Schurz. Trumbull, and Sumner
may be worthy of notice in the CAroni.
c2e.'
The following editorial from the Green
Bay Adrocate will illustrate the meaning OF
our correspondent:
MAKE Room FOR GREELEy.-We have
heard great deal for the last five years
about the decay and death of the Demo
cratic party. Every whipper-snapper of a
Republican paper in the country has an
nounced it time after time, but it has re-
manned one of the liveliest corpses the
world ever saw. We think now, however,
that its death-knell must soon be rung.-
Horace Greeley is about to inflict himself
upon it. A party that can stand Greeley
must be clad in iron seven fold-and even
then 1T would sink if he got on board
And yet he gives symptoms of coming over
lie has deserted the Grant folks, who are
the Republican party, pure and simple;
has deserted his pet hobby of protection
tariff and backed down to a tariff for reve-
nue.; and now, the last and unkindest cut
of all, is dallying with the Cincinnati Con-
ventiOn.
"The Cincinnati Convention is not a
Democratic concern to be sure, but it is a
sort of purgatory through which the nm.
easy spirits of Republicans hope to pass to
fit them for reception within the regions of
the blest Democracy. The Cincinnati wa
tiers, which are depended upon to wash
them clean, will be muddy enough after
the operation. Think of Schurz, Trum-
bull, Sumner and the rest going through
it And then Greeley, with that hat and
old white coat 1t would take "a sprin q
freshet of the Ohio river to do it for him.
owe can stand all of them but Greeley.
Ills coming reminds us of the donkey who
got his foot in the stirrup; Pat, who was
riding him, announced, Now, look here.
he jahers lfyou're after getting on, III
be after getting Off"
The editor of the Chronicle adds.
We commend that crisp article to the
attention of the philosopher of Chappaqua.
The editor of the -Adu0cats should take no.
tlce, however. that his remarks on Sumner
are not in place. The Assistant Demo.
Gratis of Cincinnati have not captured him,
and more than that, they never will. The
ddcocate will discover that the Cooper In
stitute folk couldn't even get letter from
him to be read at their meeting.

MORE NEwspAPERs:-TheE Eastern Shore

to weeks the Leader has been issued at
Chrisfield, Somerset county, and the Clip
per at Vienna, Dorchester county. Now
let them do their level best in advocating
the improvement of the agricultural and
other business interests of the Eastern
Shore, and not spend their strength in dab
bling in politics, and success will probably
attend their efforts. The country press OF
Maryland is cursed with politics, to the
neglect of every material interest of the
State, on which their very life depends
If they would strain every nerve in pro-
noting domestic interests, in five years
their proprietors might snap their fingers
at the politicians. Look at the country
papers of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
ETC., where agriculture is in the most pros
porous condition, and with its prosperity
every other interest grows.
