The cd Joint Rule.

In vote declaring this rule inopera-
tive, on Friday Of last week, only four
Senators could BE- found voting to sustain
the rule. There is one thing about this
Joint rule business which puzzles US. It
takes the concurrent vote Of both Houses
Of Congress to establish joint rule, but,
according to the action of the Senate,
either House separately may annul it.
And yet, according to the best authorities,
joint rules are subject to the same process
oflegisIation as bills, aud all mon know
that bill cannot become law or law
be repealed without the concurrent action
Of both Houses. How, then, can the
Senate alone annul joint rule which
could not have force and effect without
the concurrent action Of both branches Of
Congress. If the action of the Senate is
legal, 1t is clearly not in accordance with
common sense. Each body may adopt
rules for its own government, and repeal
them at pleasure; but a joint rule for the
government Of both, can only be enacted
by both and repealed by both. This would
seem to be self-eyident proposition, as
clear as the light Of the sun at MONDAY.
The Baltimore Gazetie says;
We do not attach very great Importance to
the discussion over the joint rules Of Congress
for it is absurd to imagine that any of the
rights of the House can be nullifed by the
abroeation Of mere rule of order. The
rules Of order Of the two houses are made for
the convenience Of legislative business; they
do not originate any new powers; their repeal
does not take any away. But it is worthy OF
remark that the weight Of authority greatly
against the assumption that either House may
recede from the joint rules by its independent
action. At the counting Of the electoral vote
in February, 1873, Senator Anthony said -
~ ask the chair ii the Senate, by unanimous
consent, can dispense with joint rule n
The Vice President Mr.. Colfax, promptly re-
piled in the negative, and his decision oeca-
stoned no remark or expression Of dissent
There il no doubt, whatever, but that if the
House had proposed to sbrogate the join
rules their action would have been cried dowf
by the Republican press as lawless and reyo
lutionary.

A CHRISTMAS OR New YEAR's PREsFsr.-
As the season for making Christmas or New
Year spresents is rapidly approaching, and as
all desire to give something that will ever
keep the donor in the mind of the recipient,
we suggest years subscription to the DEMO
CRATIC ADVOCATE. We do not wish to speak
disparagingly of other journals, but the
quality Of the paper used, the manner in
which it is printed, the general makeup, the
contents, both miscellaneous and general
newsstand the large amount of reliable local
news, make it the cheapest paper published
in the State. 1t publishes more, week for
week, during the year than any other country
journal printed in Maryland. Books, jewelry,
&e., are common presents, read, used and
laid away. A newspaper, on the contrary, is
q weekly reminder Of the kindness of friend,
and is, therefore, more thoroughly apprecia-
ted, Try it one year, and we are certain Mat
the person who receives il will feel the com.
pliment more than if some triAing gewgaw,
more costly, perhaps, had been presented.
Terms 50 per annum.
