THE BALTIMORE CUSTOM HOUSE
RUNS THE REPU BLICAN Ma
CHINE.
From the Times.

From the Times.
The Baltimore Custom House is too
much for the rest of the republican party
in that city. AT the primaries on Mon
day the Custom House people swept the
board IN spite OF the Presidents reform
order to ottice-holders, and the control of
party affairs for the next year goes along
with the victory. One of the peculiari-
ties of the election was in the fact that
the Custom House tickets were decorated
with picture of General Grant, while
the opposition ballots contained head
of Lincoln. But the influence of Lin
coins name and fame fades away before
the stalwart march of Grant and a pow
erful federal Office, and the Republican
party of Maryland has been electrified
from headquarters, a. Mr.. Fulton prom
ised it should be when Thomas was ap-
pointed Collector.
The negroes form the bulk of the Re-
publican party in Maryland, and they
will soon "bust it" there, as they have
done in Delaware.

WILMINGTON is a work house. Every
man here is compelled to work. Work
early in the morning and late at night.
The merchants work hard, and the me
chanics work hard the doctors work

ceed. The editors toll is hard too-it is
terrible. For him there is no rest and
dogged little sport. He ispelted for what
he does, and sent to the ID a dozen
times a week for what he don't do. Not
withstanding all this the extravagant
Congressmen tax us, and all our business
industries at a tremendous rate. In Del

be no help for it until we get man in

.JU ME 20. 1878.

CONGRESS ADJOURNED this morning.
The session has been a remarkable one in
many respects. 1t has not done half as
much good as it should have done; while
t has done much less harm than most
sessions of late years. There has been
ess bitterness among its members, and
more harmony in regard to measures Of
etrenchment, reform and public economy;
1ut the obstructionists in the Senate
lave been able 10 defeat almost every act
hat had for its object the decrease of ex-
penditures and the assistance of the
aboring population. Mr.. Thurman's re-
mark that he had seen much legislation
IN the Senate favorable TO capital, and
zone favorable to labor, might well be
epeated in that body when it meets
gain.
The fault lies in the want of the culti-
alton Of patriotism, of which there
Gems none. Instead of patriotism, or
.ove of country, we find love of party;
md that for the pay it yields instead of
or patriotism, which should show itself
a measures to build up the Republic.
Unfortunately Congress now entrusts
he purse and the sword to the Executive
Departments. The people no longer con-
rol their own money. 1t is now all en-
rusted to the schemers in Congress. Had
his not been the case the nation would
ave recovered from the crisis long ago.
This was precipitated upon the people by
he want of financial knowledge. But it
las been continued in spirit Of grasp
ng avarice by the rich that has destroyed
;alues to an unheard of extent. Had the
I'D State Bank system been in existence,
he South and the West would have been
.elieved long ago; and their prosperity
would have begotten prosperity in the
North, which is filled with money Money
-ecured more cheaply than money was
very secured, and sold at real Shylock
ate. The South and the West are fools
0 endure the terrible ordeal that is put
upon them.
The correspondent Of the \. Y. Herald
-o-day, says;

Excusing the Carpet Ba z
Thieves

rom the Philadelphia Press.
A staunch ex-Union soldier, who holds
he fort in Mississippi, and who smarts
lnder the Northern railing at caipet-bag-
-ers, i'll a private letter to us, calls atten-
ION to the fact that all the swindling of
he carpet-baggers of all the State gov
'rnlnents of the South, does not tequal the
ne item Of Twecd's Democratic stealage
New York. In other words Demo-
ratio administration of profound peace
md in highly civilized city, the plunder
i the Democratic party was greater than
hat Of the unmatched carpet-baggers in
lines of chaotic convulsion and in rude
communities.
The Press should remember that Tweed
vas northern man as well as all the car
pet bag thieves in the South. Tweed was
'ncouraged to steal by the New York
sadical press, which he bought up
With immense advertising patronage

N honest man instead of thief he could
lave stopped Tweed's work. But even
he press winked at it until Tweed re-
fused to pay the enormous bills ofthe
Times, and when that Radical sheet could
get more of the stealing, it let the secret
)ut, through threat to prosecute.
But the Press is mistaken. Many mil
lions more than Tweed stole was stolen
in South Carolina alone, by the carpet
baggers. And they have.on. all occasions
been excused and defended by the Radi-
calls. While the Democrats punished old
Tweed to the bitter end and deprived him
of the fruits of his stealings, the Radical
Republicans have intervened to prevent
the carpet-baggers being made to disgorge
and assisted them to escape punishment
whenever it was possible. No party eve
turned out so many thieves as the northern
Republican party. An honest man amon

FIRE at South Paris.

South Paris and vicinity were much
excited. Friday evening, by fire, which
at one time threatened TO be conflagra-
lion. Al abou; seven o'clock, the men in
John Cummings stable, saw smoke
issuing from the old Parsons Barn, = the
property oil Mrs. Sarah Hewett. The
barn was about 20 by S2 leet, and had
stood upon this spot for many years. It's
location was in The centre OF the village,
setting behind the residences which face
Main Street. In the barn were from
twenty five to thirty tons OF hay, stored
there by different parties, among whom
were Geo. \. Wilson, 5. +. Briggs and
T. +. Hathaway. Mr.. Hathaway occu-
pies the lower story OF the house with
which this barn is connected. When the
Alarm was given by the stable meu, Mr..
Hathaway w'nt 10 the barn and ran ont
" agon, but as the flames followed him
out, no further effort was made 10 save
the building. The FIRE having made 100
much Roadway Tor any such efforts TO
avail. Being filed wiki dry hay The
building burned rapidly, and cast a large
qusn.ity OF sparks about the village Al
one time. there were seven fires started
.bou. the village by flying embers, but
mon on the roofs, provided with water
eXtinguished them all. The fire made
such Roadway on Capt. Bolsleris stable,
that it burned through the roof. and
sparks fell 10 the floor beneath. In a
few moments after the alarm, Pacific En-
CINE Co. was On the ground with their
engine. and had stream upon that side
OF the barn which approached the dwell
ing house. There was space OF eigh,

RAILROAD DISASTER.
Terrible Accident on the Old Colony
Road, Seven miles from Boston,.
Twenty-Five Killed, and over one hum
bred wounded.

Reagan the 0arsman among the Killed.
There was an accident on the Old COL
ony Railroad between Atlantic and Wal
laSton Heights, Mass, about seven O'Clock
Tuesday evening. The scene Of the acct
dent is about seven miles from Boston
and as soon as the news reached there
reporters drove out, and large numbers Of
cots and stretchers were sent out by the
city authorities. No intelligent account
has yet been received, but it is known nj
least % were killed, and over one hundred
wounded in greater or less degree. The
train to which the accident happened was
one returning from Silver Lake, and com
posed Of twenty-five cars and carrying
about 1900 persons, who had been out
to witness the race between Reagan and
Davis. The train was not going at a high
rate of speed, perhaps twenty miles an
hour. 1t is not yet positively known
what was the cause Of the accident, but
it is stated freight train had just been
switched off to make way for the excursion
train, and as the accident occurred at this
switch, there is reasonable suppOSitiOn
that it had not been properly locked.
Both engines jumped the track and went
over an embsnkment, and are total wrecks,
but the engineers and 6remen escaped
death or injury only one as far as known
being seriously hurt. At least FIVE of the
cars were wrecked, including baggage car
and four passenger coaches. Among the
latter was an English coach in which were
many oarsmen and newspaper men. These
oars were piled upon each other in huge
mass, and the wonder Is that the loss OF
life is not greater. Latest news from
the scene states that additions to the list
of killed will raise the total number to
thirty-fye or more.
