some duly authorised minister, aoithoatt
any license whatever, but that does not
suit the advanced ideas of the Radicals;
we must come up to the practice of Con-
necticut, and; above all, we must hold sa-
cred the fee of the clerk. We would
suggest that provision should be made
to refund to all those unfortunates who
had paid their $3.50 before this luminous
discovery. By all means let us have a
back-pay grab. It would make call
men equal before the law"

Tho slRR5 IF artFUGaCed the reduction Of The
cost of marriage licenses from $3.50 te
55 cents so cents to the clerk, as now
and five cents to the State.
The distinguished gentleman who offer.
ed this resolution said he wished it to be
distinctly understood that he, all by him
SELF and out of his prolific and enterpris.
ing intellect, had concocted and perfected
this marvellous scheme of reform, which
was to carry peace on earth to men and
women of good will-cause the land to
be peopled anew; the earth to fructify and
produce plenteously; waste places made
to smile; Zachia swamp to dry up; Port
Tobacco run to flow with milk and ho-
ney; Bryantown whisky to be made harm
less, and last, but not least, enable the
Radical party to get possession of the
offices and Treasury of this State. Think
of it readers! All this is to be brought
about by the mighty intellect of one man.
Well is it for the reputation of such men
as Calhoun and Webster, Jefferson and
Hamilton that this gigantic intellect
had not blazed forth in their day, for
they would have been dwarfed into
naught by its very glare. The distin-
Eguished gentleman told us how his great
mind discovered this cure-all. Like all
great discoveries of modern times it was
made in the simplest manner. He went
to Connecticut and got married and they
only charged him ffty-fve cents for it.
Instantly his philosophic mind saw the
opportunity whereby the State, of Mary
land might be redeemed, regenerated,
disseminated and handed over to Radical
control. But with the modesty which is
always characteristic of true genius he
forbore for years to disclose his great dis
covery to the public, but kept it hid in
the recesses Of his capacious mind, and
doubtless the same cause might have
impelled him still to have retained his
secret, had not the maddening thought
pressed daily upon his philanthropic in

Maryland were debarred from indulging
in the patriotic luxury of matrimony, ex-
cept at the fearful and ruinous cost of
$3.50, whilst he enjoyed that glorious
privilege for only ifty-fve cents. This
must no longer be-" all must stand
equal before the law" He had been
married for ffty-fve cents, therefore no
body ought to be required to pay more.
See the policy of the resolution! The
State Treasury is to lose $3.95-but
touch not the Clerks fee of $50 cts for fill
ing up the blank license! No that would
not do! Never cut down the pay of
officers THE Radicals don't believe in
that, especially when they hope to fill the
office with one of their confederates. It
is true our laws provide now, and have
provided for generations back, that on
the publication of the bans thrice in some
church in the county where the woman
resides the parties may be married, by

District of Columbia Bonds.

Washington, October 5.-The large de-
mands formoney by the contractors on the
extensive improvements on the streetsmade
an exceedingly tight money market yester-
day. High rates, even fabulous rates ofin-
terest were offered for short or call loans
without finding any one willing to yield
up his purse-strings. In many instances
the most approved District bonds were of
fered at so cents on the dollar, and even
this seeming sacrifice elected no response.
A contractor was asked how he could af-
ford to shave bonds at half their face val
ue, to which he replied that if he could re-
alize even that much cash upon them he
would make handsome profit upon the
worke done for the Board of Public Works.
This would suggest that the Improvements
are costing little more than an economi-
cal government would care to pay.

to us as household words. Such men as
Bond and Underwood sit on the bench
and daily prostitute the judicial office
for partisan purposes; and, not least
among our other curses, we have Internal
Revenue Collectors and Assessors, with
their hordes of relatives and subalterns,
ravenous as the locusts of Egypt, preying
upon the substance of the people, and
running the machinery of their party, for
the perpetuation of this condition OF
things.
All these things and many more are OF
daily and hourly occurrence; and yet these
very men who have brought about this
disgraceful state of affairs, adopt resolu-
tons about honesty, reform and a reduc-
ton of taxesI Is not their impudence
most consummatel Can thinking men
be deluded by such empty defamation
Can the tiller of the soil, who, like the
tabled Atlas, bears upon his brawny
shoulders the burden of the world, be
humbugged by such clap-trap9 Can the
farmer, who, in violation of law, has been
robbed of the result of years of careful
labor, be deluded by stuff like this ? Can
the laborer, whose beaded sweat "has
been crystalized into diamonds" for the
non taxpaying bond-holder, be satisfied
that his little ones shall still go barefooted
and in tatters because of empty promises
like these9
Yesi they are in favor of reform il
State and county government! Such re-
form as they gave in Georgia when Bull
Elock was Governor, who robbed the State
Iof millions, which he is now enjoying il
regal style in Canada. Such reform al
they have given the people of South Caro-
lima, where they have so successfully rob
bed the State and impoverished the tax
payers, that the public schools are al
closed, and the poor unfortunate lunatics
who had heretofore been cared for by thu
IState, are turned loose upon the commu
nifty, and all because there is no money IL
the treasury tossupport them. Yes the.
want such reduction of taxation as the,
have given the people of Louisiana
where what were heretofore the fines
estates within her limits are now adver
tised for rent for less than the taxes. Yes
they want such appreciation of our pro
perry as they have given the people o
Washington city, where they have assessed
it at three times its value, in order tina
they might collect enormous taxes to b
pocketed by their rings. Judge the tire
by the fruit it has borne. AS they hav
done wherever they had the power, SC
surely, will they do here in the State o
Maryland if they can get control of it.
!, We may glance further at their plat
form.

Mount Hill Road.

By reference to another column, it will
be seen our County Commissioners have
advertised for proposals for laying off,
opening and grading new road to the top
of Mount Hill. The Commissioners, we
understand, will probably select the
route up the rayine through the land of
Mr.. Boswell, as being most practicable as
well as the most economical and easiest
for permanent construction. We have for a
long time earnestly advocated improve
ment on this mostnecessary thoroughfare to
and from our county town. We have just
ly regarded it as an actual necessity, and
we are gratifedsat the determination of
our County Commissioners. The route as
selected by way Of the rayine is certainly
the proper one to be adopted. The out
going Board of Commissioners are moving
energetically in the matter and seem re-
solved to .signaliza the. close of their Off
icial career by undertaking this important
and long needed work. The road, as it
now is and has zen for slime whereof
n
trary," is Dangerous to travellers, perilous
to life, limb and property, and most Sc
rious impediment to the citizens, whose
business may require them to attend at
the county-town.t We congratulate the
Commissioners on their action and the peo-
pie on the prospect having a safe road, of
easy grade, to ascend and descend, instead
of the dangerous activity they now have
to encounter. We speak from onr own
personal knowledge, fortified by the opin-
ions of good Judging men when we say,
that if the work is awarded to compe-
tent, experienced person highway of ex-
cellent advantages can be easily construct
ed, and at cost which will be insignifi-
can't in comparison with the benefits to &C
crue to the public.

PADUCAH, March 8, 1S73.-The bien-
NAL election for Mayor was held to-day,
and resulted ia the triumph of the conser-
vatives. Mayor Well was reelected, de-
feating his opponent, B. G. Brazelton, by
a majority Of 1T. Tonight there is great
rejoicing by the conservatives, bands play
ing, bonf1res blazing, tee.
The tobacco season is now open, and
large sales are daily made at all the ware
houses. The wet and cold weather has de-
layed crest portion of the crops in coming
to market. Quite quantity of cotton is
also coming in.
Paducah is becoming somewhat metropo-
Titan in character. 1t now has in success
full operation plow factory, hub aud spoke
factory, large Touring mills, furniture
factory, rolling-mill, and several other
manufacturing establishments. A street
railway has been nearly completed, and in
few days will be in operation.
Paducah offers extraordinary induce
ments to manufacturers, both for the ready
means of supplying raw material and for
the sale and ready shipment of the manu-
featured articles. There are two good
railways, one to Memphis, another to
Elizabethtown. We are on two of the
best western rivers, and in close proximity
to the Mississippi and Cumberland. The
weather here this winter surpassed in sever
ity anything beyond the recollection Of the
Oldest inhabitant. ALPHA.
