RErEAI.-Says the Westminster D,n.0crai-
&c Adc0cdte:
Let the cry go forth from the Press, and let
it be echoed and re- echoed by every journal in
the land, that the law of last session forbid
ding the free circulation of newspapers in the
county where published, and the free passage
of exchange papers through the mails, shall
be repealed. The passage of such law was
restriction upon the freedom of the press,
and the prohibition of a free circulation of
newspapers in the county where published,
was but the imposition of an additional bur-
den upon the people Let it be repealed, as
soon as Congress shall assemble, and let that
body thus make amends for its wanton and
malignant assault upon the press at its last
session. Repeal this stigma upon the legisla-
ton OF Congress. Let the cry go up to
Washington with such emphasis that it can
not be disregardcd. Every argument tavors
the repeal of this obnoxious legislation, and
the only objection likely to be made to it will
probably come from those city dailies whose
weekly issues come into competition with
the country press and who would rejoice to
see the country press crushed out ofcxistcnce.

for variety, enterprise artistic wealth, and lit

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations of Tie 4ldne have won q
worldwide reputation, and in the art centres of
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood cuts

In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American

the best foreign masters, selected with view
to the highest artistic success and greatest gen

THE PEA CHI BORON RAILWAY - TT

Oxford Press says:
The rails are now laid on the Peach Bot
tom railway rs far west as the Octoraro
creek. Mr.. Wood with force of workmen
has been laboring manfully day and night
for some time, trying to secure a permanent
foundation in the bed of the stream upon
which to build bridge His labors in that
direction, we are happy to say, are now
about to be crowned with success, and in a
few days the bridge work which is already
framed will be ready to set in place In the
meantime number of farmers in Lancaster
county, have with will and zeal quite COM
mendable, brought out their teams and are
now engaged in hauling the iron for the road
around to Spruce Grove, on the west branch.
BY this means the work of the track laying
will go right on, and if the winter should not
close in too soon the road will be pushed well
out towards the Conowingo, by Christmas

A NOTIFYING FACT.--The present crisis
has brought TO lighlthe mortifying fact ofthe
mcticiency Of cur navy to compete with That
of even 80 contemplate power as Spain.
According tu the Secretary Of the Navy, the
United States navy ranks only as the tenth
in the world, while that of Spain holds the
fifth place. Who is responsible for this state
OF affairs: Money enough has been appro.
pliated to keep nj least q respectable num-
Der of war vessels in condition TO meet an
emergency like the present; but instead of
having any vessels ready for immediate
use in Cuban waters, the astounding fact
has come out that not a single vessel at any
of the navy yards could be at once placed in
commission From the highest to the low
est subordinate, all seem to have been so
intent upon their own schemes ofaggrandize-
ment, as to have neglected their plain duty.
The Republican administration is RESPONSE
for this state of affairs and the people of this
country will surely hold them to a strict ac-
countability.

WAR WITH SPAIN IMMINENT. The
Washington correspondent ofthe New York
San says:
The Administration has undoubtedly SET
tied upon definite policy. That much has
been given out both officially and sem-offici-
ally. Further than this neither the President
nor the members of his Cabinet will commu-
nicate even to their most confidential outside
advisers The public will not have details
until Congress meets, unless there should be
a collision between our men-of war now on
their way to Cuban waters and one or more
of the Spanish cruisers If collision should
occur by an overt act of the Spanards, of
course the President would issue his procla-
nation declaring that war existed by the hos
tile act of Spain. In such an event all the
facts, so far as they have come to the knowl-
edge of our Government, would be given in
the Presidents proclamation.
The situation is admitted by all to be Sc
rious and the probabilities are that war be-
tween this country and Spain cannot be avoid
ed. The President is impressed with this be-
lief. 1t is true that be does not desire it, and
hopes that it may yet be averted, but never
theless the chances are against peaceable
solution of the present difficulties

RaIltmore CaItIe MARKET.

BALTIMORE, March 27.-BEEF CATTLE
The market this week has shown more
activity than for several weeks past, and
prices are shade higher. The quality oil
the Cattle generally, through all the
grades, was better than last week, there
being fewer Of q common grade than for
several weeks past. The weather was
very unfaVorable, or else there would have
been marked advance throughout the
list; but prices, owing 10 this TACT, can
scarcely be considered more than shade
higher, and the market throughout little
more active.
Prices to-day for beef cattle ranged as
follows: Best bceves at 8 1917 "; that
generally rated first quality 80 60a8 u;
medium or good fair quality 81 TOAD 90;
ordinary thin steers, oxen and cows 50 Goa

So 50a7 81. Most Of the sales were from
SIS 90 to @ Is per 100 lbs. or the re-.
ceipts 419 head came from Ohio, lib from
Maryland, 1870 from Illinois, 10 from West
Virginia, As from Virginia, and $50 head
from Pennsylvanla-Lotal receipts Tor the
week 075 head, against 90l head last week,
and OF head same time last year. OF the
offerings 7l2 head were taken by Balti-
more butchers, 90 sold to Eastern specu.
lstOrs, and 1871 head to Washington City
and Annapolis dealers-total sales Tor the
week 800 head, against 1874 last week,
and 981 head same time last year.
SuEEP-The light supply for the past
few weeks, and the present very limited
receipts have had the effect Of advancing
prices, and though the demand Is by no
means extensive, quotations may BIO
placed 4aic higher, quality considered,
than last week. We quote fair to prime
sheep at 5a7ic, and extra &c per ID gross.
Receipts this week $50 head, against
1889 last week, and 7O1 head same time
last year.
Hoos-As ANTICIPATED at the close oil
