Party Nominations.

The Towsontown Journal says that the
Crawford county system of nominations
which has been tried in Baltimore county
"has been condemned on all sides as not
producing what was expected of it. ," The
Crawford county system is simply voting
for the candidates instead of nominating
BY convention. The system is well enough,
if honestly carried out; but, like the con-
ventiOu system, it is not proof against the
tricks of the willy politician Either plan
Of nomination would do, if dishonest trick
sters who manipulate conventions in their
own selfish interest instead Of honestly re-
public sentiment, would keep
their def fingers from cheating the people
who sent them there to serve the public
instead Of themselves Instead Of being
the agents of the public in an honest ex-
preston of public sentiment and public
preference, they go to log rolling aud enter
into combinations, not to get the best men
to serve the party or the public, but to Sc
leet the most subseryient tools 10 serve

hred by the troops exasperated eitizens ~
well as strikers, and in less than nm honr
thousands Of workingmen from the rolling
lnillsi coal mines and various manufactnr;n9s
establishments hurried to the scene Of CON.
met, determined to have revenge on Tho
troops and railroad officials. '"'
IL was stated that Gen. Pearson. command

hae directed the troops to fire before any

many OF those killed and wounded had
gathered on the hillside merely as spectators

About ten o'clock in the evening mob

difficult to dislodge the military from the

Which !. Rsapon.ibls : City o. sta.e2


Under the caption Of "city liability and
the damages done by the rioters a cor
respondent of tho Baltimore Sun, calls at.
tention to Art 50 Of the Maryland Code,
relating to riots, aud proceeds 70 express
his views very poiatedly upon the proper
construction of Sections and of that
article. We take no exception to his views,
for aught that We know his construction
may be in all respects correct But We
do most earnestly protest against the cou-
struction which the editors Of the Sun seek,
rather by implication than by direct asser-
ton, to place upon the first section Of ar
ticle 50, when they say though the city
of Baltimore, by reason Of its reasonable
diligence, might escape liability for prop
erty destroyed by mob, yet it cannot be
doubted that the State itself would be
looked to for indemnifcation. This im-
presses us as being very pleasant reading
to the citizens of Baltimore, but not for
that reason the most agreeable construc-
ton which might be placed upon the law,
for the entertainment of the rustic popu-
lation of the State. Let the section speak
for itself.
Sec. !. If in any county or incorporated
town or city Of this State, any church, chapel
or convent, any dwelling house, any house
used or designed by any person or any body
corporate as a place for the transaction Of
business or deposit of property, any ship,
ship-yard or lumber yard, any barn, stable or
other out house, or any articles of personal
property, shall be injured or destroyed, OF if
any property therein shall be taken away, in
jured or destroyed by any riotous or tumul
tuous assemblage of people, the full amount
Of the damage so done shall be recoverable By
the sufferer or sufferers by suit at lac against
the county, torn or city ieithm Whose juris.
dictiOH such riot or tuBluh occurred.
Can any thing be palmer than the pro-
per construction to be placed upon this
Section of the Code? If the Legislature
contemplated any liability on the part of
the State for such occurrences, it very eff
fectually obscured such construction of
the section when it became the law of the
State that "the full amount of the damage
so done shall be recoverable by the sufferer
or sufferers by suit at law against the
county, to'Ca, or city 'oit.ia 'ohose jurisdie-
ton such riot or tumult occurred" We
have only desired TO call attention to this
subject and to express very grave doubt
whether "the State itself will (over) be
looked to for indemnifcation,' for damage
done by rioters within the corporate limits

their best TO uphold law and order.
The Strike and The LabOring Glasses.
The NJ T. World plainly illustrates the
folly and injustice Of the strike to the labor
ing classes themselves, by the following SEN
sible article;
"The strikers on the railways, who have
thrown the business Of half the country into
confusion and inflicted inealculable distress
upon hundreds ofthousands Of people engag.
ed in all sorts Of occupations, do not profess
TO be striking at all in the general cause Of
labor. Suck a profession would indeed be
absurd, for they have nothing TO say in favor
Of restoring war prices anywhere outside of
their own business. In fact they complain
bitterly of the tradespeople who will not CON
sent to reductions in dealing with themselves.
1t is worth while, therefore, to consider how
large proportion of the laboring force Of the
country is represented by this element which,
acting solely in its own interest, is exposing
all the rest of the laboring force Of the coun
try TO loss and Inconvenience. BY the census
Of 1870 the employees Of all the railways in
the country, exclusive of clerks and officials,
numbered l54, 027 men. In the nine States
which have so far been more or less affected
by the pending strikes they numbered SS, 5S4
These are the States Of Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New
Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. The
day-laborers in those nine States then amour
ted TO $685. men. IL we add to the day.
lahorers the canalmen, the draymen and the
laborers employed in various trades, we find
this number swelled to 654,s9G If, there
fore, all the railway employees in the nine
States mentioned were now out on strike
every man Of them would be inaieting trou-
bles and losses upon nearly eight other work
ing-men as respectable as himself in order 10
accomplish purpose of his own. And this
without taking into the account skilled arti-
sans and mechanics, men employed in abat-
toirs and by express and steamboat compan-
les, stevedores and others connected with the
shipping interests, all of whom are necessarily
and nntayorably affected by the protracted
blockade of the great arteries of internal COM
munication. Upon a moderate estimate,
giving to each man Of these various classes an
average of four persons dependent upon him,
we have a grand total Of at least S,000,000
persons in the nine States mentioned whose
bread is interiered with every day that this
strike lasts, in order to accomplish the pnr-
poses not even of S. S4 railway employees
for the strike in the nine States mentioned is
~ NJ iheAus SohcIali uhless perhaps iu west
Virginia-but of really less than half that
number. To sum the case up plainly, then,
the interest of the respectable laboring classes
Of the nine States now invaded by the railway
strike in seeing it ended is to the interest of
the railway men who are actually engaged in
the strike in keeping it up as are 100000
persons to a, 262, or, giving four dependents
to each striker, to 22l, $40 persons. If this
is not sacrificing the community to a class,
what can deserve to be so described?

Congress and the Army.

To attribute the ravages Of the strikers
to the refusal of Congress to make appro.
priations for the army, Is simply assinine.
The object of the House was entirely L.
gitimate and proper. 1t was to put Presi-
dent Hayes under bonds not to use the
army as President Grant had used it, to
influence elections in the Southern States
The House put stipulation To that effect
in the Army bill The Senate refused to
pass the bill with this stipulation The
House refused to pass j. without il. The
determination of the Senate that the bin
should fail unless this restriction we're re
moved was as good 4 guarantee a. the
House could have that the restriction was
just and necessary. The responsibility for
the failure of the appropriation Is equally
upon the Republican Senate as upon the
Democratic House, whose course in afixing
the stipulation it did to the bill, is COM
mendable in the highest degree. That
Mr.. Hayes would not follow the pernici-
Gus example of Gen. Grant could not be
known by Congress. But, if it had been
known, at the time, the stipulation was
still eminently proper, for such policy
could not have been long pursued without
producing revolution. 1t was wise, there
fore, to prohibit it by law. As to increas-
ing the army, no Democrat worthy Of the
name will assent to it. We have, already
an army of $4,000 men, enough in all
reason to support the civil authorities in
the maintenance of law and order, if right
ly disposed. There we're an hundred com
panies in the South, where they were not
needed, at the outbreak of the railroad re-
belllon, for the rebellion was confined
to the North and West and one or two
Middle States. Let the soldiers be sent
where they are needed, and we have
enough for safety. More would be dan.
gerous as well as expensive.

There are likely to be heavy demands
on the Maryland Treasury when the Leg
stature meets next winter. 1t is said that
the appropriation for the renovation Of the
State House will have to be augmented to
complete the needed repairs. 1t is also
said that s25OOOO more viii be needed
to complete the House of Correction, and
an indefinite sum will be asked for to re-
organize the Maryland Militia on riot
suppressing basis, at least These are
matters for the consideration of the tax
payers during the approaching canvass
And the efficiency or inefieieneyof our
militia, will constitute subject for legis
latiye inquiry.

Foor RACE BETwEEs HEAVY WnGHrs.-
About 0 O'Clock on the 18th inst, says the
Hanover Spectator, considerable amusement
was afforded on Chestnut street, near the
Diiler House, by the occurrence Of foot
race between Col. Cyrus Diller, Of our town,
weighing 1886 ibs. and Mr.. Milton Miller, Of
BALTIMORE weighing $50 lbs. The distance
ran was about 100 yards, and Col. Diller
handsomely beat his opponent by at least 80
feet, Notwithstanding that in addition to his
own immense weight Of adiposty, he carried
heavy rail on his shoulder. The sight was
a most amusing and mirth-proyoking one as
the eiephantine racers swiftly sped over the
course, many Of the spectators were perfectly
convulsed with laughter

Win our friends Of the Westminster Adro.
cate permit US to correct them? Two weeks
ago the Annapolis Gazette stated that Carroll
was the "banner county, on the question of
low taxes, her assessment being All cents on
the 500, and the Adroeate--on the Gazette's
authority undertakes to boast little on the
subject. Permit us to say that old Baltimore
county heads the list, as our assessment is but
Al cents on the baltimore Co. Union.
We respectfully inform the Union that
it is at liberty to correct any statement
made in these columns, but not to hold us
responsible for the errors made by the
Annapolis Gazette. At the time the levy
was made by the Commissioners we stated
it was the lowest in the State, the rate be-
ing ~ cents on the 500. The Gazette
added the quarter Of a cent to the piece
taken from the ADVOCATE, by mistake.
