THE REPUBLICAN SENArE.-What
the Republican Senate has done and
left undone is thus posted up by the
.New York Herald:
The Senate has resisted the attempts
of the House to curtail the public ex-
penditures. The Senate acquitted Bel
KNAPP whom the House impeached on
conclusive evidence of his guilt. The
Senate attempted to revive the frank
ing privilege, and failed by the nom
concurrence of the House. The Sem
ate defeated the House bill Cor trans
fering Indian affairs to the war depart
ment-a wise and wholesome measure
which the enlightened public sentiment
of the country strongly endorsed. The
Senate has confirmed Clapp as public
printer, in spite of his demonstrated un-
fitness. The Senate has passed no bill
for giving effect to the law requiring
specie payments in 1879. although its
majority processes to stand BY that act,
and although everybody acknowledges
that new Legislation is necessary for
giving it effect. Nobody can lay his
finger on any act of the present Senate
which has any tendency to alleviate
public burdens or to introduce better
system in the administration Of the gov
ernment.

PROGRESS ON THE New JAIL-The
workmen on the New Jail are engaged
at this date in stating the roof of the
building and will finish this part Of their
work in the course of day or two
The interior work Yet TO be done will be
completed in time, we learn. to fulfill
the contract Of the builder, Mr.. Adams.
and the building inself will be in safe
condition to receive visitors by Septem.
Der Court. When the interior work is
done, the building will be rough-coated
outside and the experts say that, when
handed over to the county authorities,
it will be both secure and imposing.

Our RAILRoAD.-For several days
past there has been a "hitch" in the
progress Of the Southern Md. Railroad,
exactly for what cause we have been
unable to inform ourselves, but whatev-
er the cause, the road is again upon its
pegs" and its Engineer corps is once
more at work. Rumor has it that Mr..
Callahan, who is well known in our
county from his connection with pre-
vious contracts on the road, will be
down during the course Of the present
week with strong force Of laborers
TO finish up the work already COM
menced and to prosecute the grading
which vet remains to be completed.
We give the rumor without vouching
for its reliability.

not because the exigencies of the eoun-

hunger for il, because they believe the
present Administration, with all its fol-
lowings and surroundings not only cor
rupt, but positive peril to the Nation.
They desire to replace il with better,
and are ready and resolved 10 make the
transfer, provided they can be persua-
ded to believe that the men chosen by
the Democratic party to represent them
a. candidates for the Presidency and
other important Offices, will. in their
administration 81 the Government, re-
alize the fond hopes which demoralized
Republicanism has so effectually blasted.
They want new men and new meas
ures. The Democrats Offer them both.
In Governors Tilden and Hendricks
they have candidates whose purity, in.
tegrity and ability are above and be-
yond question. The splendid reform
record Of Gov. Tilden offers to them the
fullest assurance of new measures, based
upon the well-ripened experience Of
true craftsmanship. HIS measures Of
reform are not mere empty promises.
They come backed up with practical IL
Illustrations. He drove the Tweed gang
of thieves from New. York City. He
squelched the notorious Canal Ring Of
the State Of New York. He reduced
the taxation of the State Of New York
from SIS, OO0. 400 annually to $s,ODO,-
900. These, together with many other
evidences of his great ability and pre-
eminent integrity, are before the peo-
pie. Let them be kept there constantly
and conspicuously. Let every man in
the country know that in voing for
Samuel J. Tilden he is giving his sup
port to one whose whole life is pledge
for the fulfillmcnt of the promises given
in his great letter Of acceptance. His
administration will not be rendezvous
for thieves and malfeasants. Corruptiou|
will not dare raise its ugly head in his
presence. Sustained by the command
ing abilities Of his colleague on the
ticket, Gov. Hendricks, the civil ser
vice Of the Government will he purified,
economy will supplant extravaganza,
and the country will naturally drift back
to its old moorings, where it will pc pro-
tected from the storms which, for eleven
long weary RS, have damaged not
only its prosperity, but threatened its
very existence.-Phila. Chronicle.
