"IO the VictOrs Belong the
SpOiLS."

The above is Democratic doctrine
which has been strictly adhered to by
that party since Jackson's time, and
is said by eminent politicians to have
been the most powerful agent in
holding that party together until the
present time.
In Garrett county this principle
has not been acted upon by the Re-
publican Office holders; but, on the
other hand, the appointment of Re-
publicans has been the exception /;
but now, Republicans in all parts of
the county demand that those of our
officers elect who have patronage to
bestow appoint none but Republi-
cans. Attention is called to COM
munication from the "Shades of Deep
Creek" which expresses the wish OF
Republicans so far as we have been
able to learn, in conversation with
gentlemen from all sections of the
county.

The One Southern Pledge Wanting

In his speech at Lowell, Mass, on
Monday night, Senator Boutwell,
said :"It was the purpose of the
scheme of reconstruction to secure for
each State that order of political
events by which the ballot of every
duly authorized citizen is freely CIV
en-, freely received, honestly valued,
and the government of the majority
recognized and maintained. MANY
pledges haye been given recently by
leading Southern Democrats of their
good purposes in the affairs of Gov
eminent; but the pledge to allow
every duly authorized citizen to vote,
to value his vote honestly, and rec
ognize and maintain the government
which the majority shall so set up,
has not been given. All other pledg-
es, this wanting, are of no value.
This pledge made and honestly kept
would bring order, peace and pros
perity tn the South, reconciliation
and contentment to the whole coun-
try. 1t is one pledge that we ask,
not many. The many we have; the
one is wanting"

THE WoRKINGwoMEN's HOTEL.

THE WoRKINGwOMEN's HOTEL.
That grand legacy from the late
A. T. Stewart, of New York, the
"Workir gwomen's Hotel" is now
almost completed. 1t has required
several years to erect and finish, and
it is expected will be thrown upen to
the female benefciaries on or about
New Years day. 1t will soon be
formally opened to the public by a
grand reception. The cost of build
ing and finishing it isjust $4,000, 900.
The ground covered by the building
comprises the sixteen lots formerly
occupied by the locomotive shop of
the Hudson River railroad. 1t is a
little more than two hundred feet
square, and is seven stories in height.
The building is of the most solid de-
scription, is entirely fireproof, and
is so constructed that every room has
a well.lit window. The hotel has
about it square, which is beautiful
laid out and adorned. Negotiations
are in progress for the purchase of a
large tract of ground in the rear OF
the hotel, to be kept as private park
for the exclusive use of the guests.
There are SOP private rooms in the
hotel, of which lis are double rooms,
about 80 by 16 each, for the use OF
those who perfer either to hire a
large room for private use or to live
more than one in room. The 387
single rooms are half the size of the
double ones, and all are furnished in
a style equal to that of the best hotels
in the United States. The kitchen,
under the superintendent of q
French cook, has capacity for cook
ing food for 5000 people. The
women's hotel has a capacity fol
lodging 1000 guests. Besides, ont
entire ground room will be devoted
to the furnishing of meals or sucf
articles of them as may be desired tt
such persons as may wish to Obtain
them. Everything here will b,
furnished at the cost price, and thos
who cannot be accommodated a
dodgers in the hotel will be accommo
dated as day borders in this room
and can take home their meals i
they choose. The hotel is intended
to furnish women who earn thei
livelihood the best possible living 70
the least possible money.

The howls of the small fry yelpers
over the Pennsylvania election are
dying away. The majority is put
by the official returns from nearly all
the counties at about 5000, and may
be safely ascribed to the failure OF
Republicans to go to the polls. 1t is
not much of a victory and don't
augur anything for the future
Besides while the Democrats gained
Pennsylvania they lost Connecticut
They have lost in New York and in

The fate of the Turkish Empire
seems as if it was about to be sealed.
Every day weakens the chances of
success for its army, either in Ar
menia or Bulgaria, and the Gordon
which is gradually being drawn by
the Russians around Plevna is so
strong that only some superhuman
effort on the part of Osman Pasha
can break it and set his beleaguered
army free. Since General Todleben,
famous as the constructor of the de-
fences around Sebastoopol, went to
the aid of the besiegers the advan-
tages which they have gained have
been of the most important character.
No loophole has been left open for
escape slowly and surely the tena-
cious Muscovites have advanced
from parallel to parallel, from earth
work to earthwork, until now every
"coigne of vantage" is occupied, and
it seems impossible to loosen the
deadly grip that has seized upon the
half-starved Mussulmans. There is
no opportunity for the display OF
any strategy on the part of the
Turkish commander. Unless some
aid from an unforeseen quarter comes
to him his surrender is only a ques-
ton of time. Ammunition and
provisions are alike giving out, and
no matter what the fidelity and en-
durance of his followers may be
they have been already tested sc
severely that but little more can bt
expected of them. The attacks which
have been made on the Russian lines
have 80 far been unsuccessful. Any

People talk about Christian forti-

Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury is represented
by the New York Sun as expressing
the opinion that the passage of the
Bland silver bill would be highly
injurious to the credit of the country
and to its business interests. He
thinks the premium on gold would
advance, and if the balance of trade,
now in favor OF the United States.
should turn against us, it would
advance still more; greenbacks will
fall to par with silver. and as nobody
will want silver for them we shall
have a merely nominal resumption
of specie payments. Assuming that
the government bonds will be held
payable, principal and interest, in
silver, if silver is to be remonetized,
Mr.. McCulloch thinks these bonds
will become more currency bonds and
sell accordingly.

The Annapolis Gazette in speaking
of the election in Caroline county
says:
After one of the most heated and
bitter contests ever held in the coun-
ty of Caroline, between the People
and the Democratic Ring, we are glad
to announce that the self-conceited
Daniel M. Fields has been defeated
for the Senate by about 800. We
have not conversed with a single
Democrat, who knew the pompous
vanity of said Fields, that did not
express delight at his deserved
defeat. We are thankful to the good
people of Caroline for keeping MIN
home. to be exhibited as defunct
candidate. The State will be the
gamer. The Union, which has
battled nobly in the peoples cause,
says: "This is no party victory. 1t
is no Republican or Democrat
triumph. 1t is the uprising of the
people to put down portizan tyrants.
Right nobly have they performed
the work. The people have done
this. 1t is their fiat and from their
decision there can be no appeal. They
are masters of the situation and are
perfectly competent to conduct their
own affairs"

JUSTICE STRONG's LETTER.-A
Washington dispatch states that AS
sociate Justice Strong, in speaking to
a friend respecting his rec emily pub
lished letter to G.. w. Jones, of Ten
nessee, in which he gave expression,
in the language of private correspon-
dence, to some views in relation to
the election commissions, said that he

eXcusable breach of confidence on fhe
part of a friend of many years stand
ing. He added that, while the views
were not inconsistent with those he
had always and does now entertain,
there is vast difference between the
manner in which they might be men
toned in private correspondence and
that in which they We're to meet the
public eye. In the former there are
occasional antiquities, which might
lead to a misaprehension of IN eaning
as the expression in the letter that a
great wrong was perpetrated might
be regarded as abiding to the cleo,
toral commission and its results,
whereas the expression had reference
to the action of the returning board
in Louisiana. He believed the
tribunal, which was invested with
the powers of Congress for specific
purpose, had no right to go back of
the returns, which were, at least on
their face, the action of the State:
Under this conviction he acted then,
and would do SO again under similar
circumstances.

The New York San, discussing the
question of resumption of specie pay
ments, raps the opponents of the
measure over the knuckles in the
following vigorous, straightforward,
matter-of way:
"The opponents of the resumption
of specie payments make great pro.
fessions of patriotism, but that they
are really actuated by the most sor-
did self-interest is plain enough to
those who look below the surface of
things. They contend earnestly that
resumption will be the ruin of the
laboring classes: but what they fear
is that 1t will Illustrate their own
gambling speculations in land, and
other property, bought with borrow
ed money. When they talk about
paralyzed industry and stagnant
trade, they are thinking of their
mortgaged city lots and hypothecat-
ed railroad stocks, which, by shrink
ing to something like their real val
ues, are wiping out the profits they
counted on when they bought them,
and are, besides, bringing them into
debt. They insist upon putting the
laboring man-who receives his
wages day by day or week by week,
and who, If he is paid less than he
used to be, spends less for what he
needs-into the same class with
gamblers IN lands and stocks"

In years gone by it was not I'M
common on the Pacific coast for a
desperado, made bold by rum to
"take a town"-that is, drive every
body out of the streets, shoot who
ever opposed him, and terrorize the
people until his drunken fit was
over. Two men recently tried such
an exploit in Prescott, Arizona, and
found that times had changed. They
began riding down the main
thoroughfare on horses and firing re-
revolvers in the air. Then they
scared several women into Mysteries,
and killed a dog. Thereupon a
sheriff and two constables followed
them out of the place, and in fight
for their capture killed them both.
