The total vote cast is $4,000

between the two parties, which
shows that the straight Democ-

Grants ENeS9EEE to the sfsE-
thor Of the Declaration
Of EasGPHRNdenCe.

When the wal broke out a very
common method of showing dis
appreciation and contempt to-
ward thepubIic meE of the North
who sympathized with the rebel
lion was to remove their portraits
from legislative halls, or to order
their faces to be turned to the
wall.
President Grant takes quite as
significant a way to express his
hatred and contempt for Thomas
Jefferson, by b~anishing his statue
from the grounds in front of the
White House.
Gen. Butler has been much
praised and applauded for hang
ing a gambler in New Orleans
because he pulled down an A
merican flag. What ought to be
done to a President who inficts
the greatest indignitv on the i'm
mortal author Of the Declaration
Of Independence?
1t is true that before the war
that declaration had been de-
cried, in the interest Of slavery,
as merely "a string of %glittering
generalities;" but the manner in
which volunteers poured in as
soon as war war declared, show
ed that the people did not so c
gard it. They believed, III the
language Of one more apprecia-
tive of its spirit, that "worGs
more eloquent mortal pen, uhin-
spired, never wrote-mortal lips.
uninspired, never spoke;" AID
they were willing to lay down
their lives in maintenance of the
high and glorious doctrines which
it enunciates.
1t is well for Grant that he did
not insult the statue Of Jefferson
during IT, war, or Gen. DIX or
some one else nigh. have shot
him on the spot.
Verify, when the statue of
Jefferson, the great Apostle Of
Liberty, has to be put out of
sight, or removed to a distance
and in disgrace, things do seem
to begin to squint toward Caesar
ism.
There is one excuse which may
be urged for Gen. Grant: 1t is
possible that he may not have
known that Jefferson was the
author of the Declaration oil In
dependence, or that he had been
tor eight years President of the
United States N. Y. Sun.

A patent case is now pending
which involves, it is said, OF
less than twenty millions of dol
lars. A large number of lumber
merchants and manufacturers
have combined to resist the
claims of Joseph 2. Woodbury.
to heavy royalty for the use OF
planning machines for which he
has recently obtained a patent
What Woodbury. claimed as his
invention was the use of "a yield
ing pressure bar to held the
boards i'll proper osition, in
place of the yielding rollers used
in the Woodwo rth machine, thu
patent on which expired long
ago. Woodbury. applied for u
patent on this Improvement" in
l848, but the patent was refused
on the ground of want of novel
ty in the invention. After two
more unsuccessful applications
Woodbury. finally succeeded in
getting his patent in April last,
after his yielding pressure bar
had been in common use for
many years. A royalty was at
once demanded from manufac-
turers using the invention, and
hence the combination to resist
the claim. This case affords a fair
example of the unsystematic way
in which affairs are managed in
the Patent Office, and in conse>
quence of which persons entirely
innocent of any premeditaled in
fringement on others rights are
annually victimized to an enor-
nous extent.

which regulate the prices of la
Dor in the different avocations.
Trades Unions and similar socie-
ties, on the part Of the laborers,
have been instituted, to keep up
wages or increase them as the
case may demand. The Trades
Union is a society we frequently
hear mention made of, and a
brief review of it may assist US in
our work. 1t is frequently as
serted that this is the nest from
which the great strikes of the
laboreTs emanate. Though this
may be, aud doubtless often is
the case, yet it is not necessarily
so, for they work by an entirely
different means to accomplish
their ends. Their plan is to get
the better skilled artlans in their
society, then having a monopoly
of the supply of labor, they will
refuse to work for any person
who employs any other than
members of their society. An
other method is to limit the num-
Der of apprentices taken by a
master. By both these systems
it will be seen that the number
of workmen in the different de-
partments of labor VIII be dimin-
ished, and a Iessened supply Of
labor will necessarily be followed
by all increase Of wages. By
this means then, it cannot be
denied that the rate of wages
will be increased, but the ques-
ton then arises, does it benefit
labor i'll general or only a par
ticular portion of it? The latter
is clearly the case, for through
their Influence on the employers,
they drive many laborers from
employment altogether, or they
force them into some other kinds
of labor which will decrease the
wages there by increasing the
supply Of laborers in that branch.

While in every State, laws are
multiplied indefinitely for the
punishment of defaulters and of
hcers proved recreant to their
trust, Democratic Maryland has
gone to the root of the matter,
and besides providing laws for
the punishment of lapse in office,
has also taken measures to pre-
vent their occurrence. She has
acted on the theory that is it cas-
Ter to prevent than to cure. By
law each officer in in his
account thirty days before cleo
ton must furnish an account of
arrearages, or the Comptroller
advertises him in the newspapers
as a defaulter. For the last three
weeks the Maryland papers have
been full of such notices, and a
startling amount of official negli-
gence or wrong doing has been
exposed. There are 200 officials
short in their account with an
aggregate deficiency of $3.50, 600.

out of 1874 only IL are now in Of

We do not e anything in the
result of the Pennsylvania cleo
ton that is discouraging in any
manner to the Democracy. Of
course it is discouraging to have
those atrocious Philadelphia
frauds every year, but there will
come a time, and that not very
remote, when the Republicans
will have their little game inter
rupted. In nearly every instance
the returns from the interior of
the State show not only that the
Democrats have held their own
pretty stoutly, but they have in
many places made encoura ging
gains. Three counties, MifHiu,
Perry and Washington, that last
fall gave Republican majorities
have this year gone Democratic.
while the strongest Republican
counties have seriously fallen
off. It is a singular thing, and
one that we'll establishes the fact
of fraud in Philadelphia, that
while Mackey, the Republican
candidate for Treasurer, ran con-
siderable and uniformly behind
Hartranft in the inside counties,
he has a majority of five thou
sand more in Philadelphia. There
is evidence in this that the Re-
publican ring in that city, fear
ing the gains in the country, ov-
ershot the mark in attempting to
cover them. The Republican
candidate for Judge, had not as
much majority as Mackey.
