PRoDIGALITY OF GRANTS ADMIN.
IsTaATIoS.-Let every one of our
readers turn to the article on this sub.
ject, on the first page of this paper, and
peruse it atteuiiyely. The comparison
given between Buchanan's Administra.
ton and Grants, is reliable, the figures
having been taken from official sources.
Let the tax payers Of Carroll store the
facts there set forth in their memories,
and whenever the ECONOMY" of this
Administration is Wanted in their
hearing by their Republican neighbors,
or by anyone else, let them recur to
these proofs to the contrary. A simple
statement of facts like these is all that
is needed to expose the unparalleled
proAigacy of Grants Administration,
which is, beyond all comparison, the
most extravagant and wasteful that the
country has ever known.

New England Exactions.

Persons interested in the fisheries Of New
England recently held meeting in Boston,
and resolved to ask Congress either to grant
them bounty or some other kind Of protec-
ton. We are opposed to this thing on
principle. If farmer or merchant goes
into business they do not think of running
to Congress to ask for protection, and If
they did would not get il. They are oblig.
ed TO meet all the competition that comes,
and why should the fisherman Of New
England fare any better than they. boy
lestorcn Democrat.
There is no reason at all that they
should and yet, they already enjoy
privileges not accorded to other men.
They get their salt for curing their fish
at less than the price Of foreign salt
with the duty off, the tariff which il
very heavy on salt, making exceptions
ia their favor, while everybody else has
to pay it. But New England men are
never satisfied unless all the rest Of the
country is taxed for their benefit, OIL
unless they are accorded special priv
leges which the citizens OF no other sec
ton enjoy. Instead Of Canada being
annexed to tho United States, we should
be grasifed to see New England annex
ed to Canada. 1t would be riddauc.
that would prove highly satisfactory, nc
doubt, to the rest Of the country.

The MILITIA LAw.-Gov. Bowie's
message recommends a modification of
the militia law of this State. We are
Of the opinion that the best modification
Of it would be to repeal it altogether.
In these days Of heavy taxation by the
Federal Government burdens of this
character should be lifted from the
shoulders of the people 1t would be
difficult matter to show any commen-
surate good to the State arising from
her appropriations under her militia
system.

The position the ssniisel has assumed
as to the effect Of logging upon the cul,
prit convicted Of theft, is rather anus
ing, Il thinks it degrading aud calcu-
lated to make the culprit feel himself
an ontcast from society. What sort Of
society would that be which should ad-
nit thieves within its palel And what
deeper degradation can be imagined
than that Of man who would steal
your failing from the pasture, your
horse and buggy from your barn yard,
and pilfer your money-drawer or rob
your hen-roostf Talk of degrading a
creature ike that by applying the lash !
Why, il is preposterous. According to
the refined and sablimated ideas Of our
neighbor, it is the public logging which
degrades the calprit, and not his innate
villainyl Well, after all the world does
move, and this, we suppose, is fresh
evidence Of the enlightened spirit of
the ago"
The Seatiael thinks that our opinion
that the whipping post, as punishment
for theft, is preferable to the penitenti-

humanity, is one which is shared BY few
