"The Maryland Union adverts to the fact
that the last Democratic Legislature of Mary.
land appropriated twenty thousand dollars for
the purchase Of suitable building in the city
of baltimore for the blind and deaf and dumb
negroes Of the State, and yet nearly every ne
gro in Maryland is an open and avowed enemy
ofthe Democratic party. ~ Matchmaker Ad
Uocate.
All The twenty thousand dollars appro-
priated was TO buy mp ''negron votes for the
Dem. Greeleys, was it? That rather beats
the Credit Mobilier, and accounts for the ex.
traordinary liberaiitg Of ''the last Democratic
Legislature Of Maryland. annapolis Ga
-ette.
This assumption of the Gazette falls to
the ground, when it is remembered, that
at the time this appropriation was made
by the Legislature, Mr.. Greeley was prob
ably not in all their thoughts. Indeed,
the idea of cooperation with the Liberal
Republicans" was scarcely entertained at
Annapolis, until Messrs. Richie and Mer-
rick visited that city in the interest Of the
Washington Fusion Propaganda And
long after that, it was supposed that Judge
Davis, aud not Mr.. Greeley, would be the
candidate. Mr. Greeley was scarcely
thought Of. in any quarter. His nomina-
ton was one of those untoward and un-
looked-for results, that have done so much,
in the last four or FIVE national conven-
tons, to bring that mode Of nomination
into disfavor 1t was a surprise, even To
Carl Schurz, Senator Trumbull, and 9th
ers, who were the chief engineers of the
Liberal Republican Reform Movement y
The "liberalty Of the Democratic Legis-
lature, therefore, cannot be ascribed to the
cause so illiberally assigned for it by the
Gazette, but must be set down to an hon.
est purpose to benefit the poor deaf, dumb
and blind negroes of this State. 1t par
takes, in no sense, Of the character Of the
Credit Mobilier affair, which was delib
crate attempt, artfully made and PARTIAL,
successful, to bride the lawgiyers of III,
land. 1t has left stain upon the nation
al escutcheon. which, however frequently
may be uttered before the committee q
investigation and in Congress, "out damne,
spot viii never out 1t IS part of thu
infamous record of the corruption of thu
times, and win live, to our shame, through
all history.

The expenditures of the Delaware Railroad
last year, exceeded the receipts by s7,607. Of.
Similar deficits are reported every year
by the company having this road in charge.
If they are true, and we must not question
their truth, how is it that the company
holding the lease of this road still desires
to retain it, 1t seems to us that if these
losses were annually incurred, the Phila-
delphia and Baltimore Railroad Company,
which has this road under lease, would re-
linquish il at the earliest opportunity.

Things are not altogether slcyely," or
entirely harmonious, in the ranks of the
dominant party Flushed with their late
victory, they arc revealing in power and
plumber at Washington; but there are
murinurings Of dissatisfaction which be-
token waschfal vigilance and an honest
indignation at the turn which events are
taking at the capital. The Rochester
Democrat and Chroaicls, prominent ad-
miniatration Journal, utters its notes Of
warning, and AYERS that athe greatest en-
CINE Of corruption ever constructed in this
country is now in progress at Washing
ton. The architects who arc at work, {"
says that paper, shave been sehooled in
trickery and are adopts at plundeting the
public. Nearly every billbefore Congress
contains bond and mortgage upon the
property and future earnings Of the ma
ton referring to the James and Kama
wha canal, the steamship subsidies, and
kindred schemes, all of which were fore
Swallowed and endorsed in President
Grants message.
"Then, says the Chronicls, ''there is the
scheme to refund the cotton tax, the claims Of
which have been bought up by spectators at
ten cents upon dollar; and hordes of other
projects await their turn. None Of these can
pass singly they must be log-rolled together
/ by combinations well known to lobbyists and
hence each measure is but the torerunner Of
others more redolent still with obnoxious
doors. Pass subsidy bills, and trans. Allegha.
ny canals will be next in order. Fasten these
upon the taxpayers, and one after another
/ will follow in succession as rapidly as mana
gers may think safe There is but one way to
offer successful resistance, and that Is 10 force
the issue upon the principle with the first
measure which makes its appearance, and
continue the fight until the power Of the peo-
| pie is felt.
Whether tbs mission Of the Republican
party is ended, as We have been so often told
in the past, Continues the Chroaicie,) rests
entirely with those who have control of the
party machinery; but one thing is certain, that
its mission will end with the hour the people
are convinced that jobbery has been inaugu,
rated at national and state capitals

WEST EyD DEBATING SocIETY.--This as.
sociation met on Saturday evening last, and
considerable business, looking to its establish.
ment on firmer foundation, was transacted.
1t has not been fully organized this season,
and we are glad to note that it is the object of
the society to make it one Of the permanent
institutions of Westminster. Debating socie.
ties are Of incalculable benefit to communi
ty, especially to the young men. Those ap
pointed to debate a question are obliged to
read up and study it beforehand, and in the
discussion the other members get the benefit
of their research, thus making these associa.
tons pull C educators Bes DIES these societies
afford an opportunity to practice and improve
in the art Of speaking.
As the speakers appointed to debate on last
Saturday evening were not present, the ques-
ton (which is the greater incentive to action.
the hope ofreward or the fear ofpunishmcnt, y
was not discussed. This evening, the question.
"Should the sale of spurious liquors be
prohibited in Maryland will be taken up
and debated. ]. +. Diffenbaugh and Johr,
Matthews supporting the affirmative, and
Levi Evans and John W Knight the negative.
A challenge discussion, on the subiec. an
nounced for last Saturday evening, between
John Mcintosh and Vim. B. Thomas, on one
side, and Theodore L. Fritchey on the other,
is also to take place this evening. Altogether
the evening will be one of pleasant entertain.
ment for those who attend.
