THE COUNTY CONVENTION

AS will be seen by our report of the
proceedings of the County Convention,
which assembled in Elkton on Tuesday
last, delegation has been selected that
does honor to the county. From the long
list of Cecil Republicans deserving the
confidence of their party, We are sure
none could have been selected by greater
unanimity than the four gentlemen who
will represent the county at the Freder-
lex Convention. Whatever differences of
opinion may exist among us as to the
relative availability and fitness of Presi-
iential candidates, certainly the friends
Of no one of those now prominently be-
!ore the people can hesitate to accept the
conditions upon which the delegates Just
chosen have accepted their party trust

candidates, We have nothing to do. 1t Is
an individual one, and therefore unques-
tionable. The personal assurances of our
delegates. that individual preference will
be subordinated to the good of the party.
fills the measure of responsibility to their
constituency. The almost unanimous
vote. by which Cecil's delegation to Fred
erici; was selected. attests the fact, that

FRAUD IN PHILADELPHIA.

The disclosure of fraud on the part of
clerks in the offices of the Clerk of Quar-
ter Sessions and of their Recorder Phila-
delphia, calls forth much Indignation.
There are circumstances which make the
crime more de>picable than ordinary
theft. since it was the deliberate sale of
public morality for the price of a few
thousands of dollars. Philadelphia has
depended chiefly upon the eNaction of
heavy bonds from liquor dealers for pro-
lection from the indiScriminatc sale of
Intoxicating beverages. The lowest IL
ceuSc fec has been nominal. or $50, but
the bonds required have been SO heavy
that the low dens of the slums have gen
orally been unable to honestly procure
the requisite license. The clerks. whose
exposure has now been effected, We're
guilty OF forging bonds for many appli-
cants, in order to obtain plumber in IL
cen>e fees. The Philadelphia Press, in
announcing the frauds aflirms its faith
in the integrity of the Clerk of Quarter
Sessions and Recorder. and charges the
wrong wholly to corrupt assistants. The
outrage has made q drinking den posi-
BILE on almost every street corner. and
crime and pauperiSn have been the pro-
duet of the netariouS sale of licenses
The crime is peculiarly abhorent. and its
perpetrators must suffer infamy as one
Of its penalties.

If We may rely upon the reports from
Washington, tire Ways and Means Com
mittee will report bill this week. max
ing important changes in the custom
laws. They propose. it is said. to place
on the free list salt. paper pulp. printing
paper, rags. waste and shorts. cod liver
oil. books. chrome ore. fax. condensed
milk, extract of hemlock, type metal.
opium (refined), morphine and salts of
morphine. .jute butts, other iibres, waste
and tlocks. The bill will also repeal sec
tons 250l and 2502 of the Revised Stat
utes, which now impose a duty of ten
per cent. on products from countries east
of the Cape of Good hope. and discrimi-
mating duty of ten per cent. on goods
brought into our ports by foreign ships.
And besides this the following reductions
will be made: On woods of the first and
second-clasS to Il uniform duty of thirty
per cent; woods of the thir,l-class twenty
per cent: carpets of all kinds. thirty per
cent: blankets. tlannelS. hats Of wool
and all kinds of wool, thirty per cent;

ing. shawlS and hosiery. forty per cent. :;
while cottons Of all kind will bear duty
Of thirty per cent.

THE RECENT DECLINE IN PRICES

The American people have such an
excess of faith in their resources and are
so ready to discount the future. that they
are very apt to go down too fast when II
turn in affairs brings on prosperity and
rising prices. For several months past
all sorts of property have been marked
up higher and higher, until prudent
operators and investors have become
alarmed. Fortunately the wild advance
in valuations has received decided
check. and a considerable decline has
probably saved us from the before immi-
ncnt peril of panic OF very serious
character. How great has been the fall
of leading articles may be seen from the
following table:
