THE WORkINGMEN'S PARTY.

In view of the fact that the Work
ingman in Cecil county had no specific
object in view in forming their organi-
ZatiOn, and that the result of the move
ment was simply to strengthen the
Democratic party in the county by
throwing away SO large proportion
Of Republican votes, the advice given
them in the following extract, cut from
the New York Times, is as pertinent
in Maryland as elsewhere:
If the workiugmen of this State would
better their condition by the exercise of
their political rights, they must beware of
the disrepntable wire pnlers who know
least and talk most about their wants. their
trials, aud sufferings. They must remem-
ber, too, that neither they nor any other
class of the community have rights, either
political or social, that conflict with law,
order, and good government. In nation,
constituted like the United States, there
must always be a community of interests
between the substantial and respectable
elements of society. The workingmen of
this State are as much interested in having
it's affairs managed by honest, faithful, and
intelligent officers as any other social class
or political party. 1t cannot matter to
them, however, whether such officers be
shoe makers or merchants, lawyers or brick
layers, doctors or workers in railway shops.
These facts should be recognized by the
workingmen, and being so recognized. they
owe it to themselves to prevent their class
from being misrepresented by self seeking
demagogues. If they would make them
selves felt in the politics of this State, if
they would increase the general prosperity,
and so serve their own best interests, they
must join hands with the party of real re-
form, honest and economical government.
Let them carefully and thoughtfully search
the records, and they cannot fail to dis
cover which that party is.

The House of Representatives passed
the Army bill, after a good deal of con-
fusion and child's play in the matter of
amendments, on Monday. 1t first refused
to prohibit recruiting beyond the total
force on the rolls Nov. |. 1t then re-
fused to prohibit such recruiting. with
the proviso that the cavalry regiments
on the Mexican frontier might be filled
up And then it proceeded to allow
the cavalry regiments to be filled up,
provided the army should not be in
creased beyond 10000 men, which was
somewhat less generous and decent
course than either of those it had Just
refused to take In the shape which
the bill finally took it is disgrace to
the House and to the Democratic party,
if it is possible that that organization
can be disgraced by any thing it can do
to ruin the army. If passed by the
Senate, it will leave the infantry ridicu-
leus skeleton, with an average of about
one private to each commissioned and
non-commissioned officer. Mr.. MaXev,
in the Senate, proposes to have the Rio
Grande border defended with a line of
military works, but he ought to take
notice of the fact that his party is bound
to leave no soldiers to man them.

IN MEMORIAM.

David Palmer was good citizen, a
devoted husband and kind father, a
generous friend and benefactor of the
poor. With them his memory will ever
be green He was an transformations
man, and eminently characterized by the
modestv of manner that indicates per-
sonal worth Cecil county will miss
him as one Of her most enterprising
business men. His loss will be felt in
his immediate community where his
unusual personal popularity attested
the possession of such individual traits
Of character as command respect. To
the inscrutable Providence that decreed
his death, his large circle of friends and
associates will submit with resignation.
To his immediate family we tender the
sincerest expressions Of sympathy, and
the kindly offices of friendship in their
unexpected bereavement.

In an editorial note last week, in re-
ferring to the paupers' vote in this
county, we stated that "the names writ
ten upon the back of their tickets were
in the handwriting of prominent Elk
ton physician.' After 4 careful eXami-
nation of the tickets and a comparison
of the handwriting, we find that we
were misled in this particular, and, not
wishing to do injustice to any one,
promptly make this correction. The
handwriting is, we now believe-as is
claimed by a number who have exam
ined the tickets,-in all probability that
of a woman. Our mention of the mat
ter last week was not intended to cast
odium upon any individual, but simply
to again bring before the public the
fact that these paupers, none of them
possessing any amount of intelligence,
while some of them seem to be actually
non compos mentis, are year after year
brought to the polls and voted as mere
machines, and that this thing is sane
toned by citizens from whom better
things might be expected.

within a few weeks, carried off nearly
one hundred of the inhabitants, who

latter have died from the epidemic
Only twenty whites who remained have
escaped sickness. The people are very
poor, and the suffering there is en-
