to bills being correct which they cannot
read n word of. We might cover quires of
paper in pointing out these "Credit Mobil-
Ter peculiarities of our Democratic Con-
sentative party"
Another charge is made by The Demo-
crat against the Republican Commissioners
in the levy of 1867. Mr.. Weldon was the
head and front of that Board, devoting
the most of his time to attending to the
county business. The Democratic Con-
sentative party" loved the levy and the
principal LEVER SO well that they nomi-
noted and elected him for the following
term. But we must close this article which
has grown to greater lengths than we pro-
posed. The material in place of being eX-
hausted grows on our hands as we proceed
to uncover and hold up to public scorn the
mismanagement, the incapacity and gen.
eral expensiveness of the party which has
ridden this county and State for six years
like an " old man of the sea-"

UNEASY.

Our Democratic Conservative - breth-
rem evince an unusual degree of anxiety
and uneasiness this Fall. Tile True Narv
lander starts 4 story, which it says is rife
down there, that the " Radicals" are offer
ing to trade all the rest of their ticket for
the Legislature. This, Tile Cecil Demo-
crat, with hair erect, like quilts upon the
fretted porcupine, repeats. What the poll
ticians are doing down the Shore we are
not able to say, but think TIE True Mury-
lander's story false scare. In Cecil we
know the Republicans are not Offering any
trade We mean to carry the whole
ticket, and fail to see the advantage of
trade at this particular junction. Mr..
Creswell, the down country journal AYERS,
is aspiring to seat in the United States
Senate, or his friends are aspiring for him.
This is sheer fright on the part of the
Democracy. Let us sse. There are 25
members in the Maryland Senate, twelve
of whom held over; eleven of those twelve
are Democrats. Those to be elected the
Democracy claim a share of, we presume.
They would not like to own a weakness by
claiming less than fair divide. OF the
eighty odd members composing the House
of Delegates, they are sure of IS from
Baltimore, while they have the stuffing
OF the ballot boxes in that city, and the
manipulation of the Registry lists. With
eleven Senators and IS Delegates from
Baltimore to start with, the party must
have broken down in the counties indeed,
if the Republicans can beat them so much
as to overcome this long start and gain
majority on joint ballot. The guilty are
all towards. We hope their fears may be
realized, but such a sweeping victory as
this would be something miraculous.

SRetrenchment and Reform"

Under this caption "M" in Tile Democrat
rises to explain, and asserts that the session
Of the Legislature of 1866 was only an
extra session of so days, which cost $780,
600, while the Democrats spent $175, 600
one session since, which session lasted 90
days. There are several inaccuracies in
this little statement. The session of &c
cost SO, l07.07, while the per diem of mem
bers, &C., of the session of 20, amounted
to $175,2 54G GO. "M' contends that at the
same rate of expense the session of 80 days
would have cost much more. We will de-
termine that question by facts rather than
"M's" rule of proportion. The session of
1864 was full session and cost $SS, 5l7.9O,
and a very intelligent member of that ses-
sion, which was a Republican session,
declared that the cost of that session was
up to the full measure of what it should be,
and to make a session cost more there must
be stealing. Here are two full regular
sessions of the Legislature, the former
under Republican auspices, the latter Who'll
~ DeiaoGfatlC, INC former costing 800, L.
80 the latter costing $175, 60. AS evil
dence that this Democratic party doesn't
mean to cut down expenses, but on the
contrary to extend and increase them, the
last Legislature, that of 1872, expended
$1S0,4 which was $780, more than
their appropriation bill allowed.-The
taking of that additional sum out of the
treasury without sanction of law seems like
stealing, while an expenditure of more than
$SS, SIT, is pronounced, by an ex-member,
thoroughly conversant with the duties and
necessary costs of q term of the Mary land
Legislature, stealing, or what amounts to
the same thing to the people, wasting the
States funds uselessly and extravagantly.

THE TRUTH OF FIGURES.

In last weeks Wing we gave summary
of the expenses of the county for thirteen
years, running back to 1861, showing the
enormous increase in those expenses under
Democrat, as compared with the Union or
Republican administrations, which they
succeeded the last six years. In giving the
amount of the county levy for the several
years, including the school tax, we got the
years of 1S64-5 slightly mixed, leaving out
of the grand total of these years, the school
tax, which in the former amounted to up
wards of sixteen thousand dollars and in
the latter to nine thousand five hundred
and nintey dollars.
1t so happened that The Democrat pub
lshed the same figures to show how figures
can be made to lie, which was not bad
effort when the result of that ciphering is
examined. The whole amount of tax
levied in ga was $sS, 1928, and in '65
$50, 93S.03 as stated by The Democrats
These levies include not only the school
tax as The Democrat states, and the tax
for county business, but a bounty to SOL
diers in ga Of $50, 900, and in '65, Of s., $50.
These important facts The Democrat did
not state, and it AYERS that not stating
the whole truth but keeping back part is
making figures lie. Now, how does that
paper stand on the question of veracity,
tried by its own criterion of truth? We
made clear mistake in compiling the
totals, by inadvertently excluding the school
tax of those two years, in place of includ-
ing it, which we here correct. We exclud-
ed the bounty to soldiers of $23, 500 paid
in these years; because not a part of the
expenses for ordinary county purposes
The Democrat in its effort to show how
figures may be made to lie, includes it all
and never says word about the bounty.
But when the sinking fund for the Jail is
and declare it is not part of legitimate
county expenses. Now we contend that
all expenses for the Jail are legitimate
county expenses. Forty thousand dollars
were borrowed from individuals to build
that Jail, and this tax is to pay it back and
pay the interest. The Republican party
did not borrow $23, 500 to pay bounties,
but assessed the amount and paid it with
out bonus and interest, divided up into a
number of years, and The Democrat CHI arg
es it all to county expenses against the
Radical party, but attempts to screen
the Democratic Conservatives " from re-
sponsibility in the matter of levies for the
Jail, which is very fair mode of making
figures lie. But if these levies to pay the
jail debt are not legitimate county ex-
penses, neither are other expenses directly
traceable to this new Jail, which might be
classed among the illegitimate expenses.
Very few of the taxpayers have any idea
that this fine Jail is one of the greatest
caravansaries for tramps in the country.
Every tramp that enters the State seems to
make toe-path Of the P, w. & B. Rail
road, and the new jail, which is built almost
on the track, offers the whole army of
them fine rendezvous; consequently they
all put up at this Hotel de Tramp and con-
siderately allow the keeper to charge their
bills to Cecil county. Here are few of
the entries against the county:

THE REGISTRY LAW.

Tile Democrat pretends that it misun-
derstood our answer to the question of
correspondent, in reference to needless eN-
pense in advertising registration notices,
and our remarks as structures on the law;
and then forthwith holds it up as Il " Rad
ical" law. We did not say anything
against the law as law. Nor is the pres
ent Registry law a Radical law, en-
acted to "exclude Democrats from vot-
ing" The law as it now stands is wholly
a Democrat contrivance, to enable that
party to stuff ballot boxes in the city of
Baltimore, and keep the State in their pos
session. The Registry law enacted by
Republican Legislature, required but one
present Democrat one orders two, with the
last Just on the eve of election, affording
fine chance to tamper with the list when
too late to correct the abuse.
"The law was fine thing when it
brought annual grists to certain little
Radical MILL" quoth The Democrat. In
fortunately for the Radical mill" it lack
ed the capacity for grinding that certain
Democrat mill displays. Notice of the
first Registration was published ten weeks.
The whole voting population had to be
enrolled and the registrars sat two days in
each week. For publishing the notices
those ten weeks the &C. little Radical mill "
received considerably less than half of what
the Democratic grist-grinder receives for
the work under the party of economy which
has run their mill for a half dozen years,
doing a thriving business. The next year
the work of correcting the lists being but
tritle, to that of organizing and putting the
law in operation, the " little Radical mill
received about fifty dollars for performing
almost precisely the same work that the
Democrat this year receives, or will receive,
not far from $500 for.
Comparisons are said to be odious, but
the subject being up for discussion, at the
risk of making them more odious, we will
state the difference in capacity to grind
the Taxpayers of the county, which exists
between the little Radical mill,'' and the
great Democratic giant. From 1862 to
1867, embracing period of six years, the
"little Radical mill received for work
done for Cecil county, in round numbers,
twenty three hundred dollars. From 1868
to 1873, a period Of six years also, for the
grists that went through the Democratic
mill, Cecil county paid upwards of SIXTY
fee hundred dollars. And the machine
seems to improve with age, having in the
last fiscal year ground of the peoples corn
seventeen hundred and tecenty-secen dollars
worth. These Radicals are stingy set,
and starve their Editors; but the Democ
racy are an open-handed, generous people,
and feed their editors well out of the pub
lie crib. There is substantial benefit in
running mill for that party. We regret
that truth compels us to always give the
hot-end of the poker to the Doctor. But
it is useless to attempt to dodge stubborn
facts. The present party in power has
cost the State of Maryland fearful sums in
squandered treasure.

THE FINANCIAL CRASH,

The break among the large financial
firms, which started with the house of
Jay Cooke & Co., of Philadelphia, last
week, has been something fearful. Bat it
is said to be an evil wind that blows no
body good. And this crash which has
been brought about mainly by the mania
which has ruled the country for extending
railroad enterprises, will have tendency
to cause capitalists to seek other and safer
investments in real estate, which, though
not offering SO strong inducements in
heavy interest, as the railroad bonds which
have drawn all the capital of the nation,
that could be at all spared, into their mar
ket, will prove infinitely safer. 1t is hop
ed that the farming interest which has
suffered from the heavy rates caused by
railroad bonds on the market, will now
receive share of attention, and real
estate will rise again to something higher
its true value than it has been for some
years past. Those who have good farms
we advise to hold on to them, and not
sacrifice them at prices below what their
lands formerly commanded. When real
estate becomes more valuable in the mar
ket, there will not be so many farmers dis
satisfied with their business. To be the
owner of a valuable piece of real estate,
one that will readily sell for handsome
price in the market, is matter of supreme
satisfaction. When land commands ready
sale and a fair price, but few FARMERS,
owners of good farms, care to part with
their broad acres. This has been the case
till within few years, and we trust that
the time is not far distant when return of
this old time prosperity and satisfaction
will visit our agricultural friends again.

CECIL COUN

And so the bill runs. Every night in
the year, almost more or less of these
tramps lodge and board at the county's
expense. From November 10, 1872, to
April 8, 1878, 1,52S tramps were lodged
and fed at the fine Jail, at 80 cents head,
amounting in that time to $1G4. Are
these expenses to be deducted from the
bill of costs of Democratic administrations.
because they are not legitimate county ex-
penses No; the figures cold and inexor-
able like the finger of fate, point to Demo-
cratic extravaganza as we set forth in our
last issue; and the tax receipts of the
people back those figures up. They will
not lie, as The Democrat attempts to force
them to do, by saying they mean this or
that. They mean what they say, that the
Democratic party have expended of the
peoples money in six years about two
hundred thousand dollars more than the
Republicans did in war times when gold
was up to 10; and yet that paper dares to
talk about expensive living and the cost
of having work done "before the war;
Our comparison is during the war, when
every thing was at "war prices,'' with the
period since the war when gold is down to
10 and lower, and the prices of other
things down correspondence.
We are dared to point to a shadow of
"Credit Mobiler rascality in the manage
ment OF her affairs by the Democratic Con-
servative party" We take up that gaunt-
let and point to the construction of the
new Jail as one case in point. When the
work for that edifce was undertaken, Mr..
p. c. Strickland offered to superntend
the work for per cent, and give bond for
the faithful performance of the work. No
one doubts his ability as an architect and
builder. He happens to be Republican
in politics, and Democrat from dis
lance, Mr.. Eli Seminar, was given the job
and paid 6 per cent for superintendent.
This is precisely the way the "Credit
Nobilier business, though on larger
scale, was managed in the construction of
the U. P. Railroad.
Now let us look into the management of
our public roads little. Supervisors are
appointed to do a piece of road-long or
Shorthand sums of money, ranging from
$25 to $500, and three to thirty days assign
ed to the Supervisors in which to work out
this allowance, and do the stipulated road.
Is this arrangement carried out? By no
means. The Supervisor works out !" the
allowance and continues to work on at his
pleasure and takes bill into the Commits
sioners, perhaps double the amount of his
allowance, and such bills are paid without
modification. Some of these model super
Sisors can neither read Or write, but swear

"A complaint reaches us that one James
Spence and wife were charged with steal
ing certain goods belonging to Mr.. White
of this town, some time last February;
that the goods, or a part of them were dis
covered in possession of some other parties
residing in town to whom they had been
sold, and that the parties who stole the
goods having been detected were arrested,
or at least the husband was, on a warrant
issued by Squire Brown. The party
charged with committing the theft being a
voter for the " Elkton Ring" he was bailed
in the sum of 5000 by "Ring' influence,
and when the case was brought up at the
present term of court, it was SO managed
as to be "ignored''-to use a grand Jury
term, and the offending party being conse-
quentiy released by the case being thrown
out of court, the bail bond of course became
null and void. By this arrangement the
Ring" secured a vote which in case of
trial prison might have detained from
the polls, and in case the principle had not
been forthcoming the security would have
been mulct to the amount of the bond.
The gentleman who lost his goods charges
that this is one of the many skilful trans
actions by which the Ring" maintains it's
power intact, and the ends of justice are
caused to suffer if they should happen to
work contrary to the political interest of
the famous 60 Elkton Ring"

RECKLESS DESPERATION.

In view of the dreary prospect opening
up before them, the Democracy of Cecil
are growing desperate, and are-very re-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to bury the negro scare
crow. Their great object now seems to be
to draw part Of the colored element into
their ranks as mere voting machines to
help them out of the slough into which
they have fallen; and in the desperate
strait to which they are brought, have, as
l am informed, hired their white "stool
pigeons to attempt the task of convinc-
ing the colored voters-by the use of
money and free whisky-that the Demo-
Gratis are their best friends; while they,
the leaders and employees of said "stool
pigeons" during their daily drives over
the ceunty-professiona and otherwise
are well supplied with, and do not hesitate
or fail to administer a sugar-coated politi-
cal pill to both white and colored voters,
as the opportunity offers.
Prominent Democrats of Cecil county
only two years ago, strove to teach that
the negro was not more than half human:
the same party two years ago, went into
the contest flying the rag of White
Mans Party " at their mast head; they
opposed civil rights, and equality before
the law for the negro; taught through
the medium of Democratic juries, that the
killing of negro by white man was not
murder; instigated the burning of their
school houses and churches, by their rowdy
element; and in word, have never, only
SO far as compelled to do So done one act,
or passed one resolve, looking to the eleva-
ton of the colored race.
But all the Democratic palaver Of stool
pigeons free drugs, free whisky, receipt
ed doctors bills, and all other sugar coated
political pills, will have no more effect
than the pouring of water upon duck $
back. You may cipher from addition to
mensuration, and from thence through
your algebra, but the answer wont come.
The political teachers and ring worms Of
Cecil must give up the ghost, all the medi-
cal wisdom of your party together with
law and burnt brandy wont save them.
