The SENATE DEADLocK.-The SEN
atoral deadlock which has SO lcng oc-
cupied the attention and worried the
patience Of the county is about to be
broken, il it has not, ere this writing,
already been. The Committee OF Safe
ty"-the French reyolutionists of 80
had an organization Of the same name
which is composed Of seven Sena-
tors, selected y caucus, have prepared
a plan IN regard to republican action
when the Senate goes into executive
session, and this plan is, substantially,
first, that all nominations now IN hand
shall be referred to appropriate commit
tee; secondly, to take up for considera-
ton the various treaties which await rat
ifcation, and lastly, to act on all"uncon-
tested" nominations, already reported
or which may hereafter be reported
from the different committees. The
word "uncontested" in this connection
includes every nomination which is not
objected 10 by one republican Senator
from the State to which it belongs. The
true "inwardness" of this phrase is, that
the great turkey gobbler," as Blaine
once called him, means to fight every
nominee of the President, including
Judge Robinson, who does not run and
riot with the "Star Line" and the Conk-
ling-Grant machine. There is music in
the air, but the President holds the trump
cards, the democratic Senators, with
the assistance Of his own senatorial fol-
lowing, being ample TO insure the CON
frmalion Of every worthy nomination
he may make, Lord Roscoe TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

Mccomiek's Harvest Machines.

Mr.. A. L. Taveou, Jr. of st. Inigoes' dis
trct is still the agent for the sale Of the Nee onr
lex SelfBinders, both Wire and Irvine, and also
for their Reapers and Movers Four of the Bin
ders have been operating for the past two sea-
sons in his district very successfully, and have
clearly demonstrated the fact that at least three
fourtbs Of the usual expense attendant on har-
vesting, as also the great waste of grain, is by
the use Of this most important and invaluable
implement saved, besides placing the farmer in
position in which he is no longer dependent
upon our present uncertain labor. The Messrs
Mccormick have been the most successful Of our
vast number of Harvester and Reaper manufac-
turers and to-day stand unrivalled in the mar
ket, both for simplicity Of design and durability
Of materials Mr.. Tayeau is also the agent for
one Of the safest and most efficient traction en-
gines, besides other machinery, and his peculiar
advantages enable him to furnish our farmers
with harvesting and other machinery on more
advantageous terms than any others in the field.

Our Railroad Outlook.

To obtain information that could be depended
on as TO the actualites in the reported rapid
progression Of the two projects which promise
TO connect our section by rail with the outside
world, we nvailed ourselves a few days ago Of
the kind offer Of a friend, who proposed to visit
the theatre Of action, and whose reliability we
herewith endorse, to supply our readers with
such facts and figures in the case as might fall
under his personal observation The following
is the substance Of his letter. which is under date
Of he End of May, instant ~ have made every
possible effort to obtain the information you de-
sired in refercnce to the two railroads, but can
not give you many facts concerning them, as all
Of whom have made inquiry seem to know
very little Of them. On my way home yester-
day, went to Brandywine, and there learned
that the Washington city and Point Lookout
road had graded about eight miles fas far as Gal
liant Green, in Chas. co. and surveyed as far as
Mschauiesyills in st. Mary s county. 1t has laid
about one mile Of track and has rails enough to
lay mile or two more, as il has received al
ready fifteen car Dads of iron. The statements
! have heard, as regards the number OF hands Il
has at work, are conflicting, some saying it has
two hundred at work, while others state, il has
four hundred. The latter, think, is nearer
correct than the former crossed the road yes
terday at Gallant Green, where they were grad
ing, and also at Brandywine where the track
was laid, and while do not profess to be
judge Of such work, think Il was the poorest Of
the kind have ever seen The Southern Nd
road has laid two and half miles Of rails aud
has fromtwenty-fye to thirty-fve hands at work
which is called a track gang. It also has an
engine and four construction cars and has built an
engine house AT Brandywine. II has received
up to the present lime tweuty-four car loads Of
rails crossed this road several times in the
lower part or Charles county and At Brandy
wine, whore they have laid the track, and a
more beautiful piece Of work ! never saw. II
seems TO be dono in irst-elass manner heard,
however, they we're laying pine ties as they have
no other. The Washington City and Poin,
Lookout road It is said, have enough ties to lay
more than halt the road. Both roads seem to
have plenty Of money aud pay for every thing as
lbey go.

A Coon REcoRU.-The record Of the
Democratic party in Maryland IS one
the party may we'll be proud Of. In adj
minlstering State, county and munich
pal affairs, perfection has not been
reached, and never VIII be, but none
will deny that our laws and systems will
compare favorably with those Of other
commonwealth, and that the expenses
Of government arc lower than in three
fourlhs of the States Of the Union. On
this subject we quote from tie Balti-
more Saa, non partisan journal, the
following:
There are but very few States in the
Uoion where the rate Of State taxa
ton Is lower than il is IN Maryland. and
10 those States the apparent advantage
OF lower rate OF State taxation is more
tbao counierhalaneed by much high.
or rate Of township and county taxation.
a State TAX Of 1919 cents on the 500.
ol which ten cents g. levied tot tho sup.
port Of ihc public schools cannot hr
called onerous or oppressive taxation.
So in last Of cighly.twn Of the wincrs
pal cities Of the l'uion there are but six
where the rate Of municipal taxation IT,
shown 10 be lower than the present rate
Of $l.37 on the 500 10 Baltimore, and
not one nf these SIX has the population
OF area Of territory included within The
corporate limits Of this city.

Dun Nh. PARTY TRoUBLEs.-Wc
fully participate in the regret expressed
in late issue OF the WooaJeyy .NcWS
at the angry wrangle going on between
the Hamilton and German wings OF the
democratic party of Maryland. Except
harm, we do not sec what is 10 be &C
complished bv this. Whilst it is true
that the Legislature at its late session
was guilty Of extravagances that were
warrantabe, and which should not
have been pracuced, we cannot see that
anything can be gained by referring TO
them at this late day. The money is
gone and cannot be reclaimed, II any
of those who were guilty Of pariicipa-
ting in the legislative extrayagances
complained of desire to be returned, it
NAV be well enough 10 let the people
know who they were that the voters
NAV set down on them. In contending
against fraud and corruption the charges
should be direct and not general. No
reform can ever be gained by one ele-
ment Of a party charging fraud on an
other element, Fraud can only be sue
cessfully combattcd by attacking the
individuals committing The same, and
this should be done by all the true and
good men Of the party, and not by "a fac
ton II frauds and corruption have crcpt
into the party, all lovers ofpurity should
JON to weed them out, but this cannot be
accomplished by one branch ofthc party
heaping abuse and yituperadon upon The
other. Such a course is calculated to
produce enlargement which will only
result in dsmemberment, and can only
be followed by disastrous defeat
What it is expected will be gained by
charging fraud upon our own family is
more than we can imagine. The whole
Democratic party aided in putting in
power those upon whom the fraud IS
charged and are responsible 10 the
public for their actions, hence it comes
with very bad grace for US TO arraign
them. Apart from this, is bad policy
TO hold up 10 the public gaze those Of
our family who may have strayed into
evil courses. five regarded them as
we shouId, we should rather shield
their faults from the world, and pun
ish them in private, instead OF cali
ing upon the outside world to do it,
1t is bad policy to wash your dirty lin.
en- in the front yard. Never hang out
your clothes until they are clean. We
do not believe for one moment that the
acts charged can be laid at the door OF
the leaders of either wing, but on the
contrary, is alone chargeable to the in
dividuals who received the spoils, and
it is they and they alone who should be
punished. II we have no law for The
punishment of such cases, make one as
soon as possible We have no time TO
quarrel over by-gones. The past is be-
hind us, the future alone can present
US opportunities for reform. Weeping
and waling over mistakes never gained
a victory. Therefore it behooves Us to
be preparing for the work to come.
