m The "Ring" managers in the State have
found much fault with the Cecil Democrat,
whose editor gave weak support to the "Ring"
ticket last fall, because, they say, it "tock ex-
ceptions to the State Convention and its action,
and it did not defend the Baltimore election"
The Democrat pleads guilty to the charge and
makes reply as follows:
at did in most emphatic terms denounce
the Baltimore Convention, and were it neces-
sary it would denounce it to day more bitterly
than ever, for to that Convention we owe "the
little unpleasantness" we are now enduring in
the shape of contested elections in the State.
And as to the second charge, this is what we
have to say: We have yet to meet with the
first man who does not admit that there were
gross frauds perpetrated at the election in the
CITY of Baltimore on the I'd day of November.
Opinion differs as to the extent of these frauds,
and as to what would have been the result if
the election had been fairly conducted ; and
upon these two points we have expressed no
opinion, for we are without the data upon
which to have one. But upon the generally
acknowledged fact that that election was char
acterized by fraud and intimidation, we have
said, and we say again, that the Democracy of
rural Maryland take no stock in such DEVILS
work, are not responsible for it, and are hear
tily ashamed of it. Why, who should be
ashamed of it if the Democrats are not +? Who
are disgraced by crimes-the criminals or
those against whom the crimes are committed? ?"
This don't look like everything was serene
in the Democratic camp.

Gs~ The new spirit of Independence in The
Baltimore Gazette is leading it TO speak of the
Democratic brethren with exceeding disre-
spect. 1t says: "There are couple of score
of lunatics in Congress wearing the Democrat
ic uniform, and about an equal number of ed
itors in various sections of the country, into
whose heads it seems impossible to beat the
idea that paper dollar is not as good as a gold
one, and that the only way to make the coun
try prosperous is to give it an honest currency
and fixed standard of value"

AFTER THE CoMPTRoLLER.-Lastw week Mr.. Scott,
of Washington county, offered the following or
der in the House Of Delegates but the Democratic
side of the House not caring to have Mr.. Wool
ford Investigated at present, defeated the propo-
sition:
Whereas, Itappearsin the Comptroler's report
of 1874, under the head OF Especial appropria-
ITEMS" that the sum of $95, 443.72, an excess of
$50, 06l SO over the amount presented in the re-
port of 1879, under the same head, has been
taken from the public treasury, and that the ex-
penditure OF this enormous sum Of money with
out full and complete explanation by what au-
thority, to what persons and Objects and for
what purposes said money was dispersed, is no.
toriously unsatisfactory to the taxpayers of the
State and calculated to surround the chief Off
Gals of the Treasury Department with suspicion
and odium
Be 1t Ordered, That the Comptroller be, and he
is hereby directed to present to this House, with
in ten days, detailed statement setting forth by
what acts of Assembly said money was expended,
what persons and objects were participants in
this fraud, and the amount received by each per-
son. persons and objects so participating.
The RefOrmers in the House are obliged to wait
the pleasure Of the ''ringites," and Mr.. Scott,
though at first defeated, will press the matter
later in the session. Let every honest man in
the body help the proposition through.

when he reached his home in Milford on Fri

crowded, and his weeping mother clasped the
little liar to her bosom, and promised not to
whip him. He dropped tear or two himself,
but on the whole, was comfortably happy, es-
pecially as his st. Adams keeper, Mr.. Rugg,
wants 10 adopt him."

timore this week, and at one of its sessions the
following resolution was unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas the Baltimore and Ohio and other
railway companies of this city do furnish to
ministers of the gospel tickets at reduced rates,
with Limitation in use to parochial duties,
and believing that in accepting the same we
render as pastors a full equivalent as conserva-
tors of the peace in promoting the moral and
spiritual welfare of the people, thereby aiding
in protecting the property along the lines OF
the railways, and desiring no favors whore min
isterial service is not rendered;
ResolUed, that this Conference most heartily
commends the action of the BALTIC. and Ohio and
other railways in refusing tickets to clergymen
for any purpose other than in the performance
of parochal functions"
