Through the storm which we have passed
and are passing, all have suffered terribly, but
thr CASH MAN energies from the ordeal ten
times stronger, while the old regulars with
ledgers filled with worthless debts lay upon
every side like the dead leaves of autumn. The
time for apologies for the cash system is ended
The. buyer recognizes it as the only safe way fol-
him to make his purchases for by paying cash
we save him at least 25 per cent. on long time
prices. Cash is an imperial master-credit a
death trap. Our stock is very large, all bought
for cash, and we offer unusual inducements IN

millions of losses by the failures of 1877 is most
unfavorable, and the prediction of alert and

miscarried. Failures in trade have followed

BALTIMORE, Feb. 10, lsi

Mr.. Editor The EOening Bulletin of the
18th instant contains a well written arti-
Gle on the question of the State VS. the Balt-
more and Ohio railroad, now understood TO
be before joint committee of both Houses OF
the Legislature. ! will pass over the presen-
tation of the length Of time the railroad will
be able by litigation TO keep the State out OF
the money claimed, rs a consideration not
creditable to the company to propose, not CON-
patible with the dignity of the State 10 enter
tain.
The other point, showing the amount of the
revenues from freight aud passenger travel on
the Potomac railroad since its opening as the
measure Of the loss of tho Washington branch,
is an argument of weight and force and en-
titled TO serious consideration. But let US APP
ply this same argument to the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, and measure its loss of the coal
trade by the amount withdrawn from it and
carried by the main stem of the Baltimors
and Ohio railroad and the reason of that com
pany's failure TO pay off its preferred debt and
return large amountinto the treasury will be
clear and manifest.
commend the argument to the serious at
tention Of the members of the Legislature, and
they will at once see that it is the railroad
chartered and constructed for entirely differ
ent objects, that has robbed the canal of its
legitimate trade and been the main cause OF
the loss and disappointment TO the people oil
Maryland for their large investment in the
canal, which was chartered and built expressly
for the coal trade.
Restore that trade to it now as its just right
and due, and, notwithstanding fresheis and
bad management heretofore, it will now very
soon tighten the bnrthen Of taxation to the
people Of the State. No other financial scheme
will give them relief half so soon.

From accounts taken by postm asters at

the number of stamps sold and cancelled at
their Offices, and other reliable sources Of
Information, the officers of the Posoilce De-

mate that the revenues of the Department are
now suffering at the rate OF not less than a
quarter million Of dollars per month by the
food Of stamps sold by postmasters at small

DEATHS

DIED, at Rosita, Luster county, Colorado,
Wednesday. January 23rd, 1878, CHARLEY,
son of Andrew Hoskinsou, formerly of this
county, at the age of 20 years, months and
4 days.
His sulferngs were intense, but only pro-
tracted few days as the terrible disease,
Pneumonia, soon cut short his bright, young
life, without allowing him strength for fare
well message to his loved ones who were so
far away. For more than seven years his
seat had been vacant around the hearthstone
while he toiled in the far West, and the ten
drills of affection were stretched out lovingly
and beseechngly to the wanderer, and he and
they both looked forward to a bright re-
union. But our kind Father willed it other
wise. His work was done. He who can
make no mistakes has called him home.
"What He doeth we may not know now,
but we may know hereafter" ''The cloud, tho
dark and impenetrable hath slvery lining, !"
but it is hard for The bereaved and sorrowing
heart to pierce the gloom with the eye of faith
and see the loving Fathers face.
Bright, generous, courteous honorable and
upright in hoyhood, the pride and Joy of a
mothers heart, winning the confidence and
esteem of his teacher by his constant attend
ance, prompt obedience and studious deport-
ment, giving promise Of noble manhood
Knowing but little of him since he arrived
at maturity, out all that we have heard assures
us that the bright promise Of his boy hood
was more than realized.
Then, oh mother and sisters, while you can
but grieve that he has passed over the river
before you, you have the remembrance of his
life so tender and true, and he hope that your
loss is his eternal gain. May his brothers
emulate his noble example, his father cherish
his memory. and all of us find at last a sure
resting place in the green meadows and beside
the still waters in that blest country where
sorrow and parting are unknown, where the
blessed Son of God shall wipe all tears from
our eyes, is the prayer of his
TEACHER. ,

II is claimed that the Moffelt bell-punch
will yield a revenue of $780, GOO yearly to the
State Of Virginia. The whole State levy in
Maryland is under $3.50, 900, and it is believed
that a similar law here would cut down the
State tax 10 little or nothing. The bell punch,
therefore, seems to be popular at present
option, and is it therefore not unlikely that
the Moifett register and a uniform rate Of
license will be adopted, as u substitute for
local option.
