The Dry Goods Importation at New
York during 1873 is stated BY the journal
Of Commerce, which devotes close atten-
ton to this matter, at s114,160, 465.
This Is nearly twenty-three millions less
than the importation of 1872, and eighteen
millions less than 1871, but it exceeds the
importation ofany previous year, excepting
1866, when 126 millions worth Of dry
goods were landed at that port These
values represent only the foreign gold cost
Of the goods, the freight and duty not
being included. The dry goods imports-
tion represents about one-third Of the total
imports at New York, which may there
fore be set down for 1873 at the large
aggregate Of about 342 millions. The
same journal, IN commenting upon the
statement says, that from present appear
ances, the receipts for 1874 win not Be as
heavy as those for 1873, and that the
market win not absorb the same quantity
Of goods unless "a further imitation Of the
currency shall make this favorable
stamping ground for foreign lubricants"

CHRISTMAS IL NEw WINDSOR. The holidays
are over, and everybody, after week. feast
ing and enjoyment, has settled down again in
the usual routine of life. A few remarks,
Messrs. Editors, may suffice to show how we
spent the holidays in this corner Of the county +:
On Christmas Eve large company assem-
BLEED in the parlor of our hotel. A large and
beautifully trimmed Christmas tree was light.
ed at 7 o'clock. The children joined hands
and danced around the tree, singing the usual
Christmas hymn to the tune Of maryland,
my Maryland;n after which large number
Of Christmas gifts, such as handiwork, books
and toys, were distributed among those pres.
ent, to the great surprise and joy of many.
Christmas Day was more like quiet Sab
bath than a holiday; the hotel and stores were
all closed, and consequently everybody was
sober On Tuesday after Christmas the young
folks of our town and vicinity had cotillion
party at the town hall in this place, which was
a very pleasant affair On Friday last the
holidays were tapered off by grand surprise
party at Dielman's hotel. The enjoyments Of
the evening consisted Of plays, good music
and dancing must not omit TO mention the
novel piece Of music Ia quartette) performed
by combination of a lot Of very unique and
novel talent--the Proprietor on the piano,
our Blacksmith on the fiddle, our Baker on the
harmonicon, and one of our retired Farmers
on the tambourine-the music was SO good
that it was twice encored. After partaking
Of Refreshments the company departed, highly
delighted with the entertainment Of the even

wgsrEaN Mn. RAIlRoAD. From Mayor
vansanl's annual message TO the City Coun-
eli Of Baltimore, which was delivered on
Monday, We take the following in regard 10
this road;
The Western Maryland Railroad has been
completed throughout its entire length, and
Is now being operated as an independent road
from the city of Baltimore to Williamsport-
a distance OF ninety-two miles
This result is, In the main, due to the very
liberal assistance given the company by the
city Of Baltimore, aeoneise statement Of which
win be Of interest at this time.
1t is perhaps too soon to estimate correctly
the value Of this road 10 the city. But We
cannot be Indifferent TO that the fact the iinan.
cal embarrassments Of the company have
been In no way relieved.
AT the general meeting Of the stockholders
held in October last, reports were submitted,
showing the operations Of the road for the
year just ended. From these il appeared
thar the increase in traffic and revenue incl
dent 10 the extension Of the road had not kept
pace with the increased cost Of operating the
additional length Of road, and as consequence
there was an actual falling off in the net rev
enue, as compared with the previous years.
This net revenue had been barely sufficient to
defray the necessary office expenses and pay
interest on the funded certificates.
When il is remembered that at Hagerstown
the Western Maryland Railroad has TO com
pete for trade with the Washington County
Railroad, branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, with which it connects at Weyerton,
and also with the Cumberland Valley Rail
road, connectingat Harrisburg with the North
ern Central, and operated in its interest, this
very unsatisfactory exhibit will occasion less

The republican convention for Franklin
county has been called at Sheldon.
The Brandon Union comes out for Hon.
John w. Stewart, as Il candidate for Con-
grcss from this district.
Colchester sends five delegates, who are
uninstructcd, but are understood to favor
Judge Peck.
The delegates from Bethel, Berlin and
IIydepark are for Judge Peck.
The towns OF Brandon, Goshen, Wey-
bridge, Salisbury and Dandy have elected
Spnguc delegates, with the exception of
one delegate each from the last two towns
who are uncOmmittcd.
The Free Press says; Cambridge sends
two Taft delegates and one for Peck.
johnson and Wolcolt are similarly divided,
and Burke sends three Taft delegates. 1t
is safe to calculate that in towns where the
delegates are uncommitted or uninstructed,
as is the case in this county, a large part of
the delegations are for Judge Peck. II
must be borne in mind that those towns
most favorable to the Taft and Spragut
interests are the first to hold caucuses, thu
reason for which is too apparent to need
explanation.

ONE, TWO Or rruREE TERMS

The wings went into the campaign of
1910 pledged TO the principle of only one
term of Office for the President. The peo-
pie Of Vermont, through their representa-
tivcs IN the legislature, have repeatedly
pronounced in favor of the same doctrine.
More than once, they have instructed the
Senators and requested their Representa-
tivcs in Congress to propose and favor
constitutional amendment to that effect.
We believe that the true method to accom-
hibition of second term absolute by Gu
grating such a provision on our organic
law. With the constitution MS it is, ext
gencies may arise, and have occurred, in
which it seems almost Il necessity to re-
elect President Such was the case with
Washington, with Madison and with Abra-
ham Lincoln. In the last instance if Mr..
Lincoln had not been renominated and re-
elected, it would have been taken as dis
approval of the war for the suppression of
the rebellion. and II determination on the
part of the people to make peace on any
terms Had there been an express pro-
hibnion against his re. election, the
determination proclaimed by his
reelection would have been express
ed hY the nomination of any other
good republican. As it is. custom
has established the rule that Il President
shah hold Office only two terms. Custom
is said to have all the force of law, but has
it? There is nothing in the way of elect.
ing Il President for life time, if the pco.
pie can be brought to give him their stuff
RACES every four years. 1t may be said
that there is no danger OF this, but is there
not? Already, the argument is used thai
a member of Congress or Senator must moi
be changed because he has experience
Does not the rule apply with equal OF
greater force to the chief executive of thu
nation? Does the President of the Unitct
States need no experience? Arc his dutie
so simple that experience would not aiC
him and benefit the country! Indeed thi
very argument is brought forward by TIN
National RGpUjlicdH newspaper, of Wash
ington, in presenting General Grant for
third term. This paper is understood Il
be the scmi-oillcia organ Of the adminstra
ton, but we cannot bring ourself TO be
lcyc that this presentation Of his name TO
n third term is with General Grants know
ledge and consent. We trust to the Prcsi
dents native good sense 10 promptly dis
avow it, and for an authoritative statcmcn
from him that he is not and ,rW not aga
be candidate. But whether he docs o
not, the mere fact that IN influential Wasl
ington republican newspaper so present
his name and that it has strong backin
in different parts of the country show
that there is danger which can only i
rcmedied by an absolute constitutional pre-
hibiton.
