OUTLOOK IN BALTIMORE COUNTY.


Since the meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee two weeks ago, at which theprimaries,
&C., of that party were called, the people have be-
come anxious to know what shape affairs will take
to secure ticket to oppose the regular "ring"
nominations of the Democracy. For the informa-
ton of the public we will state that movement
will be inaugurated which in due time will bring
out Peoples Independent Ticket-to be com
posed of men of undOubted character and stand
ing in the community, and without regard to their
past political afiations-which, we are cOnvinc-
ed, will sweep everything before it at the coming
fall election This ticket will not be the out
growth Of any "ring" or the result of "wire-pull-
ing" primaries or lOg-rolling" conventions, but
will be representative ticket, composed of honest
and capable men-men of character and standing,
whose names will be sufficient guarantee that
the trusts reposed in them will be cOnscientously
administered. A ticket of this kind-amd Of this
kind Only-can succeed, because it will be free
from any damaging political alliances, and be-
yond reproach of any kind. 1t will be move
ment by the people for their interest and benefit,
and everybody will have an opportunity to par
ticipate in the formation of the ticket.

WILMINGToN, DEL, August 1st 1877.
Messrs. Editors The Arlington Cotton Mil
is situated on the east side of Brandywine Greek
in what is known as Brandywine Village. Tn
main building is one story high six hundred fee
long by sixty feet deep. In this building tn,
principal work is done, viz, carding, spinning ant
weaving. also the picking house and finishing
room. The class of goods manufactured is print
pally cheviOts. We make also fancy dress gods,
shrtings and fancy tckings. In the rear Ofthe min
building are the engine and boiler, sizing hose,
dye house and warping mill. The Company IN
ploys three hundred hands, and the products re
about ten thousand yards daily. The whOleis
under the immediate supervision of Mr.. Melville
Gambrill, formerly of Baltimore county. The mill
is owned by Messrs. III. n. Gambrill Co., of Bd-
timOre.
The all prevailing topic here is the recent strih
on the railroads throughout the country. Sympa
thies pretty evenly divided between the stris
ers and the companies. While we hold that II
set of men have the right to destroy property, W
fully sympathize with the working men-that /
the railroad laborers. There is at present no elias
of employers so well able to pay the hands the
employ as the railroad companies, if one may jude
from their semi-annual reports.
Our markets are filled to overlooking with fruit
and vegetables. Purchasers are plenty and price
high.
l hope Mr. Stephen Barton will get the nomina
ton for County Treasurer and after that, the vOt
of every honest man in Baltimore county. He dc

THE FEDERAL ARMY.

The serious railroad war which commenced some
three weeks ago and which is not yet wholly sub
dued, has clearly shown that the suicidal policy
Representatives was not only dangerous but man
iestly unjust in attempting to reduce the Federal
army. To it also may be traced the humiiating
condition in which that potential arm of the Gov
eminent was placed by thwarting means whereby
to pay officers and men. We have, even now, the
guards of our nation promptly and honorably as
they should be paid. They are, owing to neglect
or failure to appropriate funds, obliged to seek re-
lief by getting their pay-rOlls, vouchers, etc.,
shaved at ruinous rates, losing five to ten per cent
of their just earnings 1t is, indeed, with Difficult
ty even such accommodations can be had. 1t may
be said that our whole army is left to the mercy of
bankers and money shavers; all this, too, because
certain Democrats holding majority in Congress
(the House, wanted to make political capital in
view of the late Presidential election by getting
up pretended show of economy.
1t is now clearly manifest that instead of our
army being reduced as proposed, it ought to be
largely increased beyond the mere twenty five
thousand troops at present authorized. Had there
been an internal mob or bread-riot prevailing
simultaneous with the recent railroad difficulties,
the troops at command would have been made
quate to the task of perchance-eithe
Our whole country might now be in the midst OF
bloody anarchy and insubordinatiOn. The forty

THE MARYLAND LIFE INSURANCE CO.

By referring to our advertising columns it will
be seen that this staunch old Company is making
an effort to localize itself in our county. The
Maryland's career has been one of unexampled
prosperity 1t started in the flush times of sixty
five with an ample capital and upon the principle
of doing safe, legitimate business. In other
words it determined to do strictly Life Insurance
Understanding all clap-trap plans, and while
it was anxious to secure business, determined to
pay only what it was worth, or do without it. The
results of nearly thirteen years business have
proven the wisdom of the course mapped out from
the beginning. Every year the Company has
grown stronger and to-day there is not a company
in the country whose surplus liabilities is as
large as the Maryland 1.-THE only sure test of cor
pOrative or individual wealthy The President
and Directors are all well-known Maryland bust
ness men, in fact representative men of their class,
most of whom have made their own fortunes and
there is no better proof of mans ability to man
age others affairs than the fact that he has been
successful in his own.
The Maryland invests a large portion Of its
monies in State, city and county securities, doing
away with an objection sometimes urged against in
surfing in foreign companies that they take large
amount of capital away from our State to enrich
the centres where they originate.
The Company has recently appointed an Advi-
sorry Board for county to look after its own as
well policy holders intarasls apd pledge them
selves TO -tis eoufsss ~ ad,af tuTvr.
for premium In addition to upwards of fifty
thousand dollars already invested in the Company
they will make additional investments and invite
proposals through the Board, whose names appear
in the advertisement.
We most cordially endorse the Maryland, and
our citizens who contemplate insuring can make
mistake in placing their risks with this Com
pany. We bespeak for the Maryland the success
which it deserves.

Coal 0IL.-The Scranton (Pa.) Republican
prints these figures: "Few persons are aware of
the immense development made by the coal oil
trade or the large amount of capital invested in
it. The principal expenditures are caused by the
digging of wells, only portion of which yield re-
munerative results. 1t has been computed by
eminent engineers well acquainted with the trade
that no less than 10000 wells have thus far been
dug in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, at an
aggregate cost of$l92, 100000. They have yielded
about ss,OOOOOO barrels of oil. valued at the wells
at $500, 900 OOO or $500 900 900 at the sea-board
These figures show how valuable this deposit has
been to the State, and how the railroads of the
country have been benefited by transporting these
vast supplies"

MS- The Ohio Democrats have uniformly EN-
bodied the most vicious impulse of our politics.
In 1868 they followed vallandigham's reasonable
crusade against the war and the government. In
1867 they raised the demagogue cry against the
bOndholders. The next year they were for Pen
dletOn and reputation. Through the succeeding
contests they invariably denounced the national
banks and the general public obligations. In
1875 they roared for Bill Allen and imitation. In
1876 they declared against resumption. To re-
pudiate the pledge to pay the debt in coin to vi
Olate the public faith; to wipe out the national
bank currency and have no money but green
backs; to enter then upon wild career of inha-
ted paper; to oppose resumption and every step
towards it-these have been the shibboleths of the
Ohio Democracy.

Gs-An interesting point of law has arisen in
Mclean county, Ill. The Judge of the district,
while presiding at a murder trial, temporarily va
Gated his seat and with the consent of the prison
er's counsel, placed well known member of the
bar in his stead. The prisoner was convicted, but
appealed his case to the Supreme Court of the
State, which held that the absence of the district
Judge for time, however short, was illegal, and
that neither the prisoner nor his counsel could
make the substitute of another man legal by their
consent The higher Court has, therefore, decided
that the accused had no legal trial, and that
mOny will have to be gone over once more before
his guilt or innocence can be established.

SG1A new organization called the "Working-
mems Peoples Party" has been started in Balti-
more and has nominated for Mayor Charles Green
bury Griffith, who has accepted. On Tuesday
night the candidate was waited upon at his
residence, west Fayette street, by number Of
people, to whom he made a speech from his door
step, and judging from the language used should
say that the "WOrkingmen's Peoples Party" have
made very great mistake in the selection of its
candidate. Mr.. Griffith at one time lived in this
county and although acting with the Democratic
party-attending primaries, &c-the height of his
ambition seemed to be his selection as a delegate
to a county convention, or some such "empty
honor"
