Among the indications of reviving trade
and prosperity in this county is mentioned
the fact that large number of merchants
of our larger cities started the other day
from New York for Mexico, by invitation
of the government of the latter, in order to
develope trade between the two countries.
Movements are also making to improve
our business relations with the South
American countries. The great scheme OF
Mr.. Vanderbilt to bring the cars of the
Central Railway alongside Of the vessels
in New York harbor that will receive the

Who will be Governor for 1879 is not yet

were Arson p. Morrill, (rep), Samuel Wells
(dem), Isaac Reed (whig). Samuel Wells
was. finally elected. The next year Hanni-
bal Hamlin, the republican candidate for
Governor, was elected by the people by a
majority over all of 1884. The vote
stood as follows: Hamlin, 69,574; Wells,
43.62s; Patten e. 554 scattering So.

Political.

No free passes will be given to members of
the Mass. Legislature on the line of the East
ern, the Boston & Maine, and the Boston &
Albany Railroads this year, says the Boston
Traveller.
The pushers of the Bayard movement are
the Understanding men in the democratic
party at present. They are "heaving' all
along the line from Maine to Texas. They
have two parts to their programme. First
they mean to convert the party to hard money
by main strength, and second, to nominate
Bayard on a hard-money platform. This is
a good deal of job, and its progress will be
watched with interest. When the West has
been converted to sound money, and the NOM
inaton has been consented to, then a third
part will have to be added. 1t will be necessary
to convince the North of the wisdom of put
ting into the Presidential chair at this time a
man who is a Southerner by birth and
education, and a thorough Southern SYM
pathizer on all public questions. If the
Solid South could elect President of itself
Mr. Bayard would be desirable candidate
for the party to nominate - Tribune.

Destruction Of the Paca Man
Sion ON Wye Island.

The Esston (Md.) Star of Tuesday,
says: "News has reach. d here that the
fine old rlolTsion house of the Paca family
on Wye 6land, was destroyed by fir,
Monday norning. The fire commenced
on the roof, and originated from a tin
ner's furnace, while wo kmen were ell
gagged repairing the root. The mansion
was one of the finest in the State, and
was built by Governor Paca, before the
revolutionary war. Many an old revo-
lutionary worthy las enjoyed Its kefp-
tality. 1t contained many valuable TAM
| lily portraits among them lfe-size por-
trait of Governor Psca, antique relics and
furniture, valuable plate and Gov. Pacas
library. The full. length portrait OF
Governor Paca, the plate and some OF the
other pictures were saved, but most OF the
furniture and the library were destroyed.
Nothing new remains Of the grand Old
building but its blackened walls. We
understand that Mrs. VIM. b. Paca, who
owns the property, resides i'll Baltimore.
| The Centreville Observer confirms the
news Of the burning, and adds that the
property was insured in the farmers

the fire the house was unoccupied.

THE CIPHER TEsrIMoNY.-The COM
mittee met in New York yesterday and
examined Mr.. Smith Weed. The Herald
to-day in its editorial says :-"Mr. Weed
lifts the curt ain which WAS dropped at
that dark point aud testities that Mr.
Pelton came to Baltimore without money,
and told him that the proposed transac-
tion had come to the knowledge of Mr..
Tilden, who condemned and forbade it.
We can discover no improbability in this
testimony. 1t is evident that the bribe
was not paid, since the Returning Board
decided in favor Of the Hayes electors.
There is no other perceptible reason fol
the failure of the negot alton than the
refusal of Mr.. Tilden to furnish the
money for consummating it. Unless Mr.
Weed was deceived (and he does nu'
seem to be person who could be dupe,
in such matter) the Presidency wa
offered for sale by South Carolina re
publicans. Mr.. Tilden's refusal to bu,
it is the most probable explanation of tn
failure Of the visit to Baltimore. We Sc
no reason why Mr.. Weed should not b
regarded as credible witness on tai
head, especially as he makes no attemI
to shield the dishonorable part which h
acted in the affair"

THERE is NO ESCAPE from the evil of
public debt. IL rests upon, all and bears
more severely upon the poor than upon
the rich. The renter, in fact, has the
greater part of it to pay. He Is sure to
have the tax added upon the interest of
the cost of property, and the poor cannot
escape. Occasionally the rich do avoid
the payment of taxes; but nevertheless
they add it to the rent, just as though
they had paid it. 1t would, therefore,
seem that suffrage in such case would be
of more value In the tenants hands than
in those of the rich, insomuch that he
would be sure to vote TO keep those out
of power who favored extravaganza and
debt. 1t is a rare thing to hear one in
these advanced days propose to confine
suffrage to those who own property in
cities. Such proposition obtains no
favor anywhere in the Northern States I;
and was only proposed for the Southern
States when suffrage was about to be
conferred on the slaves by the leaders of
the Republican party. But they differed
as to whether education as a qualifica-
ton would not be more certain to aid
their party. Hoping that they could keep
the whites out of the schools until they
could educate the negroes to read, they
favored the latter, but finally determined
to make suffrage universal and to use the
army and negroes to force the election in
their favor. Universal suffrage in this
instance proved failure, A child may
read, but he is not qualified to vote
neither were the inexperienced slaves who
had been taught to read. The uneduca-
ted poor whites in this country had
training by mingling with voters from
their youth and made themselves ac-
quainted with the effect of vote. The
foreign population, against whom the
Republicans have urged war at the polls
for so many years, are required to become
naturalized before they can vote, and
during this period of five to seven years,
they inform themselves remarkably well
upon nearly all political questions, and
have rarely been found voting on the
wrong side of politics. While property
should form no basis for the Anglo
Saxon, IL would have been far better for
all had it been made basis for negro
suffrage in the South. A week or two
ago, Mr. Cain, negro from South Caro-
lima, made speech in Congress In which
he undertook to prove from statistics that
| there were more negroes than whites in
the South, in proportion to population,
who could read and write. This may
seem strange; but his declaration was
not contradicted, and it was repeated in
a lecture delivered by him in Baltimore
one night this week. He assigned as a
| reason that the whites were "huiiy" du-
| ring the first ten yeas after the war and
would not send their children to the
| public schools With negroes. These schools
w.le mostly in tie hands OF white North
ern men and women, who made them
selves especially hateful to the poor
whites in SO many ways that it is not to
be wondered at that the result ment oned
by Cain should have followed.

IAN INCUBUS" Col. III. 5. McComb,
Oh Tuesday night, characterized ''debt"
as an ''incubus." The remark is fitting,
although coming from one who, if the
current opinion is true, may not feel the
effects of it. Webster's definition for
incubus is "a demon, or fiend," and it
has well sustained this definition in in
Vulnerable cases during the last decade,
as nearly every mans observation will
verify. Notwithstanding this there has
been nothing more common or popular
than to run into debt. No remark has
been more common than that which in
dicates the willingness of the persons to
transmit debt to posterity 70 pay. But
how wrong is this. How dishonest it i,
to foist upon our children the payment o.
debts created for purposes tlom whcl
they may receive no benefit. 1t woult
be far better to leave them less money
and sometimes none at all than To leav,
them property encumbered with thi'
"incubus.' And public debt is eveI
worse than private one because ther,
is no escape from it even in bankruptcy
1t may we'll be termed "a demon or fiend.

over previous years, and compares favor

The total bonded debt Of the State is now
$l,2S4 POO, and of this S56S, 100 is held
by various State funds, leaving but SIG,

7SS,41 on the 1st January, 1877, has been
reduced to S65,572,,S1. A very CRAFTY.
