GAMBLING IN STOCKS.

The mania for stock speculation does not
decrease among the many who have a few
spare dollars to invest in the lottery of buy
ing and selling certificates which may or
may not represent any real value.
1t is sometimes asked Why not repeal all
laws against games of chance, if the multi
tude are legally permitted to invest their
money in schemes where a return depends
upon the credulity of the community. The
undue haste to get rich is the most powerful
element towards inducing investment in
fancy stocks and just as powerfully contrib
utes toward the support oflaro banks. There
is an unhealthy excitement attendant upon
both these ways of risking ready money.
Legitimate dealing in stock, where the
securities of corporations have an undoubted
intrinsic worth, is just as honest and credit
able calling as any other. Brokers who
contlne themselves 10 furnishing for their
customers safe investment for their securi-
ties, and thus afford capital easy facilities to
earn a reasonable profit in the way of divi-
dends, do something for the community in
which they carry on their transactions. 1t
is not that species of stock brokerage which
resembles gambling and cannot be truly dis
tinguished from it. The gambling is done
when schemes are floated in which ignorant
and unsuspecting people, deluded by false
statements of the chance of winning rich
prizes, caught by the delusive prospect of
doubling or trebling the amount they have
at risk, finding themselves at last mercilessly
entrapped and perhaps irretrievably ruined
Trading upon so facetious a foundation must
be demoalizing from the nature of things
1t begets distate for ordinary gains and by
employing the available means of people en-
abled to save few dollars over their cx-
penses and ultimately sweeping these sums
into the Golfers of tricky operators prevents
them Of being of service to legitimate traffic.
If nobody except spectators of abundant
means were injured by the placing and ma
nipulation of fancy" stocks, although the
general effect Of the transactions would still
be deleterious, few mourners would go about
the streets respecting the results of such Pc
cuniary ventures, But the people ileeced
are those who cannot afford TO lose the small
sums they heedlessly risk at the top of the
tide.

GRANT, BLAINE AND SHERMAN

If General Grant ia the nominee of the
Chicago Convention aud the better element
of the Republican party is true 10 Its Inn
pulses and professions, he will be deserted
by those whose support is most necessary
to his success He will be deserted by a
large proportion of the German vote, by all
who honestly believe in civil service reform,
by those who are opposed 10 an infraction
of the unwritten law which forbids the cleo
ton of Il President TO a third term, nor will
he receive any earnest support from the par
tisans who are at present engaged in pushing
the political fortunes of Blaine and sherman
Our conclusion is that il the Democrats can
not beat Grantwith all the opposition which
the circumstances Of his candidacy will ar
ray against him, it is useless 10 attempt to
defeat any one.
IL Blaine is the nominee, his fragrant re
cord In connection with the gun contracts
and the Mulligan letters is quite sufficient
10 turn the tide against him. As for Sher.
man, we do not believe that all the party
machinery and money in the United States
could elect him 10 the Office OF President IL
i not certain that he can carry his own State
in the selection Of delegates Ia Chicago.
These are the three prominent candidates
and one Of the three will, in all probability.
BE- the nominee Of the party.

On our first page Of to-day's issue we pub
lish Judge Fields dissenting opinion in
case of an appeal from District Court of
Virginia to the United States Supreme Court.
As an able and logical document it stands
pre-eminently superior to that of any other
of like nature emanating from the highest
tribunal of our land. The Capitalization of
power appears to be rapidly growing in favor
with those whose duty it is to expound the
true intent and meaning of our constitution
and laws, and those who enact the national
statutes by which we are governed, and one
by one the rights of States are being Topped
from their parent stem until soon the States
will lie a helpless mass at the feet of the gen
eral government, shorn of their power; their
rights, so far as regulate their local and in
ternal affairs, taken from them, and they
themselves presenting the strange anomaly
OF the creature governing its creator
We do not propose to discuss this question
to any great extent at this time, but we must
really wonder how a majority Of the learned
judges Of the Supreme Court of the United
States can say that no commonwealth in our
great nationality, has right to regulate its
own jury system, that formidable safeguard
Of national existence, and law, order and
tranquility. Itgoes beyond our conception
AS well compel several of the northern states
to change their laws and constitutions so as
to compel the authorities to place the names
of those who are not freeholders in the jury
box-as well cry ostracism in the ears of
a Buckeye judge.
In the Virginia case the ignorant negro
was excluded from the jury box, not on ac-
count of his trace, color or previous condi-
ton of servtude," but because intellectually
incompetent to serve as juror and where
education was necessary for a thorough APP
probation of the case in hand. In several
northern States statutes are now in force,
completely debarring white, black, red or
any other race of men from the jury unless
possessed of a certain amount of real estate,
and having in his possession q quit-claim
deed to his property.
The Capitalization of power is becoming
the greatest foe we have to our national ex-
istence. A few more decisions such as that
enunciated by the majority of the Supreme
Court, few more strokes of this constitu-
tional ~ hatchet, State and individual rights
will have persisted, and then we may as
well secure the jewelled crown, destroy the
Constitution framed by our forefathers and
transmitted to us, make bonflres of our laws
and statutes, and tamely submit to the edicts
of king or absolute monarch.
In this case we can truthfully say with
the learned Judge, that if it Congress- can
make the exclusion Of persons from jury
service on account Of race OF color criminal
oifense, it can make their exclusion from
office on that account also criminal; and
adopting the doctrine of the District Judge
in this case, the failure TO appoint them to
office will be presumptiyc evidence of their
exclusion on that ground. To such result
we are logically led.

BRIDGE PETITION.


TINE undersigned citizens of Montgomery
i county, respectfully represent TO your
Honorable Board the importance Of construct
ing bridge over Watts Branch, where il
crosses The public road about II mile above
Rockville. There are few public roads in the
county more constantly travelled than the
Jamestown road, aiFording as II does, direct
communication between the g Georgetown turn
pike aud one o! the wealthiest aud most pros-
porous sections OF the county. Ii isa fact Of
public notorieiy that during the Spring and
Summer iresheis the branch at this point is
impossible and renders the crossing unsafe
aud even dangerous TO human life As the
yearly expenditure Of money, by The county,
to keep this crossing in passable condition is
considerable item 10 the county aad MS the
building OF n bridge would sapercede The fur
ther neccssity for repairs, The money saved in
this way would soon aggregate the cost Of
constructing bridge We also urge upon
your Honorable Board the necessity OF grad
ing The hill at the branch The Importance Of
these measures therefore should eommena
themselves 10 tue favorable consideration of
your Honorable Board, on grounds Of public
economy MS well Ms public policy. As in duiy
bound, sc

we live. The blood of the dead cries from
the ground until the law has ascertaned it
was legally split.
So jealous is the law of its prerogative that
death is only justifable homicide, when in
fictcd in pursuance of legal judgment, or in
self-defence. The law must require it. There
fore wontonly TO kill the greatest malefactor,
deliberately, uncompelled, and extra judicial
| ly, is murder.
Every assemblage and combination of d.
| vers persons 10 do an unlawful act by force
and violence, is riot, and all persons en-
gagged are responsible for the acts Of each,
if done in pursuance of the common design I;
| if death ensue, they are all guilty of murder.
Crime cannot be wiped out by crime
Detesting rape as the most odious in the
cat alogue of crimes; one which can only be
expiated by the capital or extreme punish
ment imposed by law, we cannot, whether
the accused is guilty or innocent, suffer death
to be inflicted on him, except by the judgment
of his peers and the sentence Of the Courts
without abandoning all the GUARANTEES of per-
sonal rights contained in the Constitution and
laws and our own most solemn obligations to
maintain and defend them.
The greater the crime the greater the neces-
sity for caution in all the prelminaries to con-
| viction.
1t is very painful and unwelcome task to
dwell upon these enormites, but knowing the
law, and swearing to support it, we should
become abettors or accessories after the ia CT
| II from fear or favor we failed 10 denounce
| them.
Under the shadow of these dark deeds it
seems almost triflng, to refer to minor Of
fences yet we are expressly required to call
your attention to the following, as of peculiar
importance to the safety and wel-being of the
State.
The Act of 1868, Chap. ITO, bcipg Art. ~,
Sec. II, Revised Code for punishment of sbor-
ton.
The Act of 1872, Chap. 1929, Art. u, Sec.
l9l, for the prosecution and punishment of
officers whose duty it is TO collect the public
revenues and are defaulters.
The Act of 1856, Chap. &C, Art. 70, See.
1875, prohibiting the sale or giving of liquor,
ETC., on Sundays. The provisions of the Code
Furnishing bribery and gaming, are also
worthy of your special notice.
