SILVER Co1NAGE.-The senate f.
nance committee Tuesday reported a
substitute for Mr.. Sargent's bill rela-
tive to silver coin. The substitute
provides merely that 1.-THE silver coins
of the United States, except the trade
dollar, shall be a legal-tender at their
nominal value for any amount not ex-
ceeding five dollars in any one pay
ment." The bill introduced by Sena-
tor Sargent, and also by Representa-
tive Piper, propose not only to repeal
the legal-tender power Of the trade
dollar, but to authorize the coinage Of
a new silver dollar and make it le-
gal-tcnder for amounts not exceeding
twenty dollars. 1t was also proposed
by their bill to double the legal-tender
power of the othor silver coin.

FROSTBURG, MD, APRIL 1, 1876.

The CORPORATE ELECTION on Monday
excites large degree of interest in several
quarters. The two tickets brought out are
enough to show that there will be contest
OF some dimensions, and both have merit
An analysis shows (what might be expected
where there is SO much unanimity,) that
nine-tenths of the gentlemen named are pro-
nou71ced new county men. This is not, nor
can be, an issue, but it evinces this fact ::
that in the main the people are putting
forward those who take decisive identity
with progressive measures-who show the
disposition to push forward whatever APP
pears to tend to local development. We
accept it as cheering intimation Of future
good.
The incoming administration of nun lei
pal affairs will find some heavy work to do
The present officers have done all that men
could do with the means at their COM
mand, and they will retire with probably as
much honor as their successors can gain.
But they have necessarily left burdens to fall
upon those who follow them, and it becomes
us, each for himself, to see that the good
work begun is completed. To accomplish
this let us be careful to obtain the best availa-
BILE service, voting for wise, conscientious,
impartial men. Wercpeat-thew work needs
wlsoversight and determined prosecution
in short, it needs the best executive ability we
can summon from all quarters of the town.
and every voter who fails to discriminate
In this way will fall short of his duty and
the protection of one of his nearest
interests.

1T is whispered that those county papers
which encouraged the ventilation Bill have
made themselves odous in some quartz rs.
This is bad. But the dissatisfied can throw
themselves back on those papers which
neither have the courage nor ability to
take either horn of any dilemma But it is
not easy to feel safe there for there's no
knowing where and how the lightning
will strike next time The newspapers
which favor the miners one time might be
compelled by circumstances to defend the
companies at another.

MARK TWAIN has pronounced panegyr-
ic upon st. Patrick, Among other good
things, he refers to his Independent relation
to the politics ofhis day:
St. Patrick had no politics; his sympa-
thies lay with the right-that was politics
enough. When he came across a reptile
he forgot to inquire whether he was Dem
ocrat or Republican, but simply exalted
his staff and "let him have it." Honored
be his name-I wish we had him here to
trim us up fol- the Centennial
And we wish he had been one of the
new county delegation to Annapolis. Cor
man would have squirmed to some purpose
or squirmed his last.

SENsATIoNAL-The old adage of "go
nom home for news" is verified in the
Georges Creek Press this week Of"new"
things in Frostburg it says, firstly:
NEW PAPER-We learn that a Republi-
can weekly newspaper will shortly be start
ed at Frostburg.
Well, if we are pushed out of Frostburg
perhaps we will settle in Homecoming. The
testimony in that town is pretty general
that there is need of a paper there.
And secondly:
NEW PREss.-Rev j. Ruhl, editor of the
National Belief Journal, the organ of the
National Relief Association, the headuuar-
tiers OF which is at Frostburg, has placed in
the Frostburg JOURNAL office, a power
press for the publication of his paper at
that place, which has recently been printed
elsewhere. The JOURNAL will also be run
of on the same press.
"Rev. j. Ruhl" has done no such thing
The machine is ours by bona tide purchase,
and the publication of his paper in this of
flee is yet to be determined If, however,
the Press is s!lcptical or envious of our for
tune in this machine, it is welcome, first, to
look into the "bottom facts" and secondly,
find fools enough to pay cash for its claims
upon its patronage during the next four
years and with the proceeds purchase a
better one.
