Nearly one-half Of the newspapers in
this State, have what is known as 'spatent
outsides, or buy their paper with one form
ready printed, from New York, Chicago,
or some other cooperative printing com
pany. They may find their account in
this, on the score of economy, but it indi-
Gates a sickly state of existence, and the
patrons Of these journals, while supposing
they are supporting home enterprise, are
actually contributing to the enterprise of
distant cities, sending their means out of
the State and county where these journals
purport to be printed, to build up, as far as
their money goes, the business interests of
communities in which they themselves
have no interest. Thousands of dollars
are annually sent out of the State in this
way, which might be retained at home aud
expended where it is earned for the benefit
Of those around them. Such papers may
be known by the advertisements in their
columns Of the business interests of the
city or town where they are printed.
These advertisements are the perquisites
Of the printing companies which furnish
these ''ready printed sheets" to the local
publishers.

The Presidential Question.


The Blair resolutions, passed by the
late Legislature Of Maryland, and present.
ed to the House of Representatives on
Monday, Of last week, were on Monday,
the 22d inst referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary, without debate or opposi-
ton. A letter from Washington says that
Dir. Kimmell's bill upon that subject, also
referred to the same committee, has not
yet received consideration, and the gen
eral belief is that it win be reported TO the
House in a shape that will allow it to be
formally considered as a legislative propo-
sition. It Is probable, however, that the
Democrats on the Committee will make a
report to the House rehearsing all the
points in the Presidential controversy, de-
claring that Mr.. Tilden was legally elected
President, but advising against reopening
the controversy for the reason that that
question has been formally adjudicated by
the Electoral Commission which was spe-
cially created to determine it, and that the
approval by Congress of that decision ends
the matter, so far as the Legislative depart
ment of the Government is concerned. 1t
is further asserted that the Democratic
Senators are decidedly opposed to Mr..
Blair's project, and whatever may be done
in the House with this question, it is quite
certain that it viii not be allowed to oceu-
py the time and attention of the Senate.

A Much Assessed State.

Two years ago the Legislature passed
law for the reassessment of the real and
personal property of this State. Assessors
were provided for in that law, who were
duly appointed and entered upon and CON-
pleted their duties under it. Their work
was then revised and passed upon BY boards
of control and review in each county and
in Baltimore city. The last Legislature
also empowered the County Commissioners
Of the several counties and the Appeal Tax
Court of the city of Baltimore, to correct,
alter and amend, annually, the assessment
of any property improperly valued, and to
assess the same at its true value. And, to
crown all, the late Legislature created the
Office of Tax Commissioner, the further to
supervise the revenue Of the State. VIII
the work be done right now? Or, shall we
have to pass another law, when the Legis-
lature meets two years hence, to supervise
all that has gone before2 Verify, Mary
land is much assessed State, and the
work ought to be well done, when we take
into consideration the number of hands
and the different agencies employed to do
it. "If 'twere done when It's done, then
'twere well twere done thoroughly"

to sound Congress on the Blair-Kimmell

Business embarrassments still continue,
but we are comforted with the assurance
that the liabilities are gradually lessening
in amount. The numbers, however, seem
not to diminish to any perceptible extent,
although it is apparent that healthier
condition of trade and business is gradual
ly but surely setting in. The probability
of the early repeal of the national bank
rupt law, is crowding many into bank
ruptcy and swelling the number of failures
just at the present.

Mr. HAYES AGAIN on CIVIL SERVICE
REFoRM.-If anything were needed to
establish the unreliable character of Mr..
Hayes professions of civil service reform,
it would be found in his latest explanation
of his order to Office holders, forbiiding
them to take an active part in campaign
politics. He has frittered away the origi.
nal order until scarcely any of it remains.
But few days ago he informed his army
Of $4,000 Office holders that they might
contribute of their funds to campaign ex-
penses, and that he intended to do so him
self. If more arrant humbug than he
ever held public position anywhere, we
have yet to make the discovery. The
country is settling down to the conviction
that he is fraud and cheat, and after
he struts his brief hour upon the stage,
which he reached only through the basest
means, there will be none so poor as to do
him reverence

THE GREAT FRAUD.-Freshr revelations
are made public, through the confessions
of Dennis and McIin, of the Florida Re
turning Board, that the State undoubtedly
went for TiIden, but was fraudulently
counted for Hayes. The circumstances
of this great villainy will ultimately all
come out, 10 the shame and confusion, and
it is to be hoped, the punishment of all
who were in anywise connected with it.
These resolutions, however, "carry no grist
to the mill of the Blair resolutions in
the words of the Baltimore Gazette.

The situation in Europe, on the Turkish
question, is still befogged Negotiation
lags, and the outlook is reported as more
gloomy. Preparations for war still go for
ward both by England aud Russia. The
great object of England is to induce the
other powers to make common cause with
her against the Gar, but hitherto her d.
plOmacy has failed of its object; aud, al
though not cowardly, England's bulldog
courage stands appalled, at the prospect of
having either to back down ANONYMOUSLY,
after so much buster, or to engage Russia
herself singlehanded.

MERCANTILE DISASTERS to the
circular of the mercantile agency of II. G..
Dunn d CO., during the quarter which ended
with March there were 1856 failures in the
United States, with liabilities amounting TO
SS2,07S, S26, against 2,s59 failures and SAL.
1910 liabilities in the corresponding period
of 1877, and 2,s06 failures and S64.644. I56
liabilities in the first three months Of 1876.
The winter just passed has been exceptionally
trying to all branches of trade, and the enor-
nous shrlnkage of resources has contributed
TO swell the figures of the failures. Ii should
be remembered that the constant extension
OF the mercantile agencies brings into their
classification a smaller class of traders whose
wants are purely local, thereby increasing
largely the number of failures reported and
adding to the total liabilities. Some evidence
of this IS afforded by the fact that while in
the Middle States there are ~ more failures
reported this year than last. there are 24g
more reported from the Western States.
which furnish ]. 2lS out of the whole number.

THE FLORIDA CONFESSION IN New
YoRK.-A letter from New York to the
PHILADELPHIA Ledger, dated April 9th,
says:
There is good deal of whispering to-day
among the Democratic politicians, touching
those FLORIDA confessions the purport Of
which is that there is much more under the
surface, in that connection, than meets the
public eye, and that the country ere long will
be treated to surprise -
The whole thing is to go before Con-
gress, and will be thoroughly ventilated.
There will be scathing revelations of GER
tain parties standing very near to the
President, and he himself, it is said, will
not escape.

The House of Representatives, on Mon
day, voted down the ridiculous proposition
of Gen. Butler to reissue fractional cur

adopting the measure. The average legis-

when the common sense of ten year old
child ought to teach him better things.

The Latest from Washington.
A SENSATION AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette
dated Washington, April %, says:-The Flor
ida sensation is still uppermost in the thoughts
and talk of the politicians. Nothing else has
occupied much attention Sentiment was
very much divided on the subject until the
sworn confession of McLin reached the pub
lie, but now the scales are perceptibly turn
ing IN favor of an investigation, and it is more
than probable that some action will be taken.
Men of the Chandler stripe, and in fact all
dissatisfied republicans, feeling a profound
contempt for the vacillating course of the
President, are even more than anxious to see
the matter probed to the bottom, and most
OF them are undisguised about their wish to
see an custer take on some practical shane.
They are sick of their bargain and clutch
eagerly at any plan that promises to rid them
OF Hayes, for they believe it will be for the
ultimate good of the party.
