TAXES.

Last week we mentioned that il was proba-
BILE that the taxes this year would be much
less than last, and later we have gained infer
nation from reliable source that the entire tax
about to be levied will be about ninety cents
This is decrease of II cents, and all things
considered there can possibly be no complaint
Of extravaganza. The Commissioners have on
~ contracted such expense as the law requires
Last year public improvements had to be
made which swelled considerably the tax-bills
We are supporting tolerably good system,
but one which can DO scaled without much
cripping to its effectiveness. Collecting tax
es, furnishing criminals, &C., are opportunities
for great saving TO the county. And il ii
could only be brought about TO subject all
property to It's just and proper burden of tax
alton our taxes would lessen as the wealth in
creased. As il stands the tax increases with
the wealth, except with the rich whose taxes
decrease as his wealth increases. If this matter
could be adjusted there could not be much
complaint.

Canal Navigation.

Experiments are now being made ON the
New York canals for the cheapening OF trans
portatiou, with strong probabilities Of sue
cessful result. The means of propulsion is
| steam, and i: is proposed to construct a steamer
of about 25-horse power, which will take
fleet OF boats carrying 800 tons at a quicker
rate of speed than is now known in canal
navigation. The experiment is an improve
ment upon the system now practiced in Bel
GUM, which is a country of canals, and where
the cable has proved a success.
The company in New York is known as the
Steam Cable Towing Company" and they
will place upon the canal 800 miles of cable.
Some | 900 tons Of this cable is being made in
Pittsburg of cast steel wire rod The con-
tractor will take the wire TO the point where
it is laid, and>with floating workshop he will
twist the wire into cable and lay it as he
progresses. The rope will be seven-eights of an
inch in thickness. When the cable is laid the
company will employ ID steamers, costing
$40, 900 each, the engines having a twelve
inch cylinder, and each steamer is expected TO
propel eight of the large boats used on the Erie
| canal, and much more rapid speed than has
| ever been attained heretofore, some even esti-
mating il at seven miles an hour, drawing
| 800 tons.
The manner of towing is described as fol-
lows: The wire rope is laid in the prism and
fastened at the two extremes OF the canal, and
a towboat or a tug is provided with an en-
CINE, to which is attached clip drum or
grooved driving wheel, working in connec-
ton with suitable guiding and tightening
pulleys. In operating the system, the boats TO
be towed are shackled together end TO cod,
and the train thus arranged is attached TO the
tug in such a manner as not in the least TO in-
terfere with the free action OF its rudder.
The cable is lifted from the bottom of the
canal and placed over the driving wheel, and
held in position by the guiding and tightening
pulleys The engine being started, the driv-
ing wheel is turned, causing the cable to pass
over II without slipping, and fall back again
into the canal at the stern of the tug. Thus
the tug with the train attached is drawn along
the cable with the same facility that loco
motive draws its train on the rail-.

MARyLAND DEMOCRACY.

The determination of the Democracy OF
this State to satisfy all proper demands ofthe
people has begun to be put into force, and no
excuse is likely to be found for dissatisfaction
on the score of improper nominations. The
Democracy of Kent county led off on last Sat-
urday by placing in the field a ticket of merit
and strength which must command the sup
port of the party in that county. There are
some Democrats in Kent who becoming dis
satisfied launched out into vague aud indeii-
mite Independent movement. The action Of
the party in thus making good nominations
knocks the supports from under the rashness
of its impatient members and will either heal
all differences and re-unite the fold, or it will
rid the organization of those men who only
agitate that they may ride into high places
upon the senseless tumult that they awaken.
Mutiny is the worst foe to any organization,
and unless those who are now discomfort be-
come reconciled as soon as the causes of their
dissatisfaction are removed, their stubborn
ness aud evil demagoguery will find them out
ana IOiiOW tueuH MOI uhiy Will th0 iHu ID ""sioA
Of our party, but that Of all honest men Of
all parties. Men who are honest even in their
mistakes will be borne with and pains taken
70 show them their errors, or If they complain
with cause their complaints should be needed
but man who is knowingly and maliciously
wrong should be left severely alone.
Baltimore is where for some years splits
have been most threatening, but the comments
Of the Baltimore Democratic press, including
the journals which have been loudest in
their demands, are very avorably upon the
Democratic primaries and Convention held
in that city the early part of this week.
Indications point to an able and good Cen
eral Assembly, and when it comes to the par
ty in this county to nominate candidates we
trust that the Importance of the hour will be
recognized, appreciated and fairly met by the
nomination OF oursbest men.

repeatedly illustrated in the history of our
own and other countries if they are not sufi-
GENTLY obvious indeed to suggest themselves
instantly to the most ordinary capacity. The
present Secretary of War has laid it down in
his work on the American law of elections as
an automatic truth that IAN armed force in
the neighborhood of the polls is almost of
necessity menace TO the yolerS and an in
reference with their freedom and independ-
ence,' aud even the author of the message
under consideration himself admits that any
military interference whatever at the polls is
contrary to the spirit of our institutions and
would destroy the freedom of elections"
