AN UNRlGH TEOUS BILL.

TIE fertile brain of the most ingeni-
Gus repudiationist could not have sug-
gested more effective method of pros
trating our national credit. and prevent
ing the negotiation of L. S bonds in
European markets, than the bill remone-
tizing silver which passed the House
of Representatives, on Monday last, in
the absence of ninetv-four of its men,
bers. Engineered by Mr.. Bland. of Mis-
souri,, and known as the Bland Bill"
it authorizes the coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar and the restoration of
its legal-tender character. In April
1874, when Gen. Grant vetoed the In
tlation Bill he was generally credited
with having performed one of the most
creditable and courageous acts of his
administration. The present bill, how
acter than was the former one, as a mo-
ments consideration of it will show
Objectionable as was the Imitation Bill
referred to, as contemplating an unlim-
tied issue of paper currency and the
inevitably indefinite postponement of
the period for resumption, still it did
not touch the public debt, or effect d.
rectly the national credit. 1t simply
provided for an expansion of our ma
tional paper currency, leaving the prin-
cipal and interest of our national bonds
still payable in gold. The payment of
customs dues also were unaffected by
it, the tariff revenues being payable in
gold to furnish the means of payment
of interest on the national bonds, this
being the sole and only source from
which the Government could draw its
needed supply. But should the Bland
Bill become a law, not only will the
customs revenue be payable in silver,
but the principal and interest of the
Government bonds be also payable in

TILDEN ON INDIAN MEAL.

Mr.. Tilden, Judging from the speech
made by him on the occasion of his
recent reception in New York, took
much interest, while abroad, in the sub
,ect of corn-its uses and juices. This
astute observer of the maizeess CONT
nent, with cuteness rarely found in
ordinary travellers, noticed that the
transatlantic populations were not
profound on the subject of Indian
meal That johnny cake, indian dunn
pings, corn dodgers and hoe cake, We're
luxuries unknown to continental pal
ates. With his usual unse!fshness, this
distinguished maize muncher, whose
admiration for corn is onl Y equaled by
his receptive capacity for its distilled
juices, forwith proceeds to enlighten
the benighted Europeans on the uses
and applications of corns In this con-
genial undertaking Mr.. Tiden will
doubtless have fresh occasion for the
use of his literary bureau . DR.. Til
den's Treatise on Corns," or "Tilden
on Maize" would certainly prove tell
ing titles for his amazing revelations
on Indian meal If Mr.. Tilden's ordi-
nary listeners or readers are as hungry
for corn as his ordinary political follow
ers and admirers are for office, liberal
installment of the ripe corn in the ear
would be much more acceptable con-
tribution to his admiring countrymen
than his husky utterances on the sub
ject. OF Mr.. TIlden's real attainments
in the corn line, we know nothing.
Whether he could improve the public
taste, either European or American in
the matter of corn dodgers, we are una
bic to say. So far, however as tar
lodging is concerned we feel sure he is
capable of ailording ignorant but hon
est tax payers an unlimited amount eff
useful information, and that his accom-
plishments in this line justly entitle him
to the proud distinction Of chief dodger.
However, whether we ever hear from
Samuel authoritatively on corn or not,
with very striking pertinence, his fac
totum (Mr. HEWITT has called the at
tention of Congress to the subject, and
wants it to build kitchen at the Paris
Exposition and teach ignorant French
cooks how to treat corn scientifically,
and with an eve to business, suggests
that an exhibition of the culinary uses
of Indian meal would create great
demand for our surplus production OF
this breadstuff We commend the mo-
mentous subject to the serious consid-
Grafton OF our agriculturists and farm
ers Let the kitchen be built immedi-
ately, with Mr. Tilden as its presiding
genius He failed in reaching his
Presidential paradise The next best
thing to a sporting bachelor of Tilden's
aesthetic taste is-Paris. Send him, bv
all means, as corn commissioner to the
Paris Exposition of 1873. If he re-
turns well corned, it will only he that be
has followed his usual practice of TAX
ing his meal damp.

Mrs. PARTINGToN once said that it
didn't seem to make any difference to
her whether flour was dear or cheap, as
she always paid the same price for fifty
cents worth of it. On the same prnci-
pie, it seems to make little difference
nowadays whether the Democrats in
the city of Baltimore poll many or few
ballots at elections, as they always
manage to get the same majortes
wherever they need them. The inter
esting political performance held in that
city on Tuesday last, and popularity but
enormously called an election, was one
of those characteristic farces now grown
chronic with the Ring When ma
iorities are returned double and, in some
instances nearly treble the number
of votes actually polled, the audacitv
of the fraud becomes positively refresh
ing Most Of the counties Of Mary
land gave undoubted Democratic ma
jorities on Tuesday last, but to assume
that any one really believes that the
majority returned in Baltimore was
actually polled, is simply taking it for
granted that Republicans are fools
Some Of them may be, but certainly
not all of them.

In Connecticut the victory of the
Republicans is important and gratifying
in several respects. Maryland Repub-
licans can initiate with profit the course
pursued by their party brethren in the
Nutmeg State. Although in a minority,
aud the State machinery in the hands
of the Democrats, yet recognizing the
supreme Importance Of party organiza-
ton, they put their shoulders to the
wheel, and in solid phalany redeemed
the State from Democratic misrule The
result demonstrates that Republicans
ootin3 solid Connecticut may be relied
upon whenever they contest it with
their opponents. Besides Tuesdays
result promises fair prospect of sue
ceedng William Ii. Barnum the Illus
trious Democratic mule dealer, now
representing that State in the L. S.
Senate, by a representative Republican
of Connecticut. His term will expire
in March, 1879. In the meantime, ten
State Senator'S and the lower House
will be elected by the people The
legislature now being Republican it is
but reasonable to expect it will continue
so. We can but hope that Barnum's
prospects of being shelved will be
realized.

THE RESULT OF TUESDAY.

The general apathy of Republicans
in Cecil, and their seeming Indifference
to the Importance Of party organization
and effort, have again given the Demo-
Gratis the county by decisive majority
1t would be absurd either on the one
hand to affect surprise at the result, or
on the other hand to attempt to explain
away the fact. We have repeatedly
asserted, during the canvass that has
just closed with pronounced Demo-
cratic victory, that if the Republicans
had any reason to anticipate success in
the county, it could not be predcated
upon the probability of any .considera-
bic number Of partisan Democrats repu-
dating their candidates, no matter how
obnoxious to them, or of their refusing
to support them because they were not
the most available party representatives.
1t is an essential part of the Democratic
creed to vote the ticket Personal quail
lication of candidates is secondary
consideration with the rank and file of
Democratic voters. When the party
whip cracks, the whole team bends to
level work, and the trained leaders keep
the wheels in motion. Accepting the
result however amiably as one of the
inevitable consequences of the present
status Of parties as now organized in
the State, we nevertheless see enough
in the figures of the relative votes of
the two parties, just cast in the county,
to demonstrate to the most skeptical,
that Democratic victories in Cecil are
as much the result of Republican in
difference as of Democratic party ac-
tivity. One year ago Mr. Tilden's ma
jority over Mr.. Hayes was AGA votes in
Cecil county. At that Presidential
election 2,5O7 Republican votes were
cast This Fall, however, but a,l2I
Republicans supported DR.. Porter for
the COMPREHENSIVE. Three hundred
and ninety Republicans thus failed to
support their candidate at the recent

on. Whento this number of votes

election. When to this number of votes
are added a reasonable Republican pro-
portion of the three hundred and seven
votes thrown away upon the Working
mems ticket, which can he fairly put at
two hundred votes, we have an aggre-
gate OF $50 votes to be accounted for
outside of the returns of the present
election. We do not assume ON this
showing that this number Of Republi-
cans actually absentcd themselves from
the polls and allowed the election to go
by default, but we do assert that a
large percentage of this vote could have
been made available by Republican eff
fort and organization in the county, and
which, if net sufficient to entirely over
come the Democratic majority, would
have very materially reduced it. 1t
would be as unreasonable to expect the
commanding general of an army to lead
his forces to victory, without the inGis-
pensable conditions to military success
of drill and discipline; as to hope for
political results without party organi-
cation and effort. These important con-
ditions of success seem to be better APP
preciated by the leaders of the opposi-
ton. Greater party unity is fostered
and maintained by the Democratic lead
ers. 1t always was the case. Demo-
cratic managers may quarrel over nomi-
tons, but. they look well to the rank
and file when the actual engagement
opens. is true that being in minor
itv, and not inspired to activity bv the
influence of party patronage, Republic
cans in Cecil county may lack the ordi-
nary incentive to eXertion that charac-
terizes the majority in power But this
reason, even when allowed its full force,
does not cover the whole ground Of
Republican apathy. When the Repub-
Leans Of Cecil, recognizing the iudis-
pensao,e necessity Of thorough party
organization in the county shall see
proper to take the field in person, then,
and not till then, may we expect a diff
terent result from that of Tuesday.

the same metal. This being the case,
il needs no argument to show that it
would be impossible for the Govern
ment to negotiate the sale of Il L. S.
bond abroad since the value Of silver
dollar is but ninety-two cents, or eight
per cent less than gold But in addi-
ton to the injury which its passage
must inhict upon our national credit
abroad, it also defrauas every holder of
a Government bond of eight per cent
of his interest and cheats private credi-
tors out of the difference between the
value Of silver and greenbacks, which
is now five per cent. Should the bill
pass the Senate, which scarcely seems
possible, the last hope of the friends and
advocates of national honesty will rest
upon the Presidential veto That one
veto of President Grant in 1874 made
Mr. HAYES Governor of Ohio. nasmuch
as 1t raised the square issue OF hard
and soft money in the Ohio campaign
Of that year, resulting in Gen. Hayes
election as the champion of national
financial honesty, and which hard
earned victory over the rag-baby heresy
finally placed him in the White House
at Washington. The country then has
a right to expect from President Hayes
the exercise Of his constitutional pre-
rogative of veto over all such financial
monstrosities as the Bland Bill, and
that as before he will now not cease to
be the champion of an untarnished ma
tional credit and the defender of the
public credit.
