Publication of the Laws.

That the laws, which all men are
bound to know and respect, ought to
be published for general information
is a proposition too plain and just to
admit of serious debate. But their
publication shall he freed from all
faint of partisanship. Everybody. of
what eyer political faith, is interest.
ed, and any distinction is unfair. H..
liberal and bigoted. 1t does not mat
ter that the same course was adopted
by the party in opposition at any pre-
vious time. Such an argument is ut
terIy puerile. If the fact were so it
only shows that bad practice is be
ing followed when it ought to be re-
pudiated. Wrongs meyer become
rights by prescription. We are deal
ing with present practical matters.
Laws affecting every body should be
brought 10 their knowledge in the
most effective way. That way is by
the amendment suggested by Senator
Farrow, that the publication in news

Il tair price paid to the printers. 1t
is false economy to hold back money
in such a cause. The public pay for
the enactment of laws and the carry
ing on of tho Government in all its
branches. and it has a right to de.
mand all proper returns, and espec-
tally a knowledge of what its Legis-
lators have dOne.-Er.

The Distracted Family,

Messrs. German and Cotton have
not yet smoked the pipe of peace, and
the latter has almost abandoned the
hope of being elected president of the
canal. Mr.. Outerbridge HOrsey is
still the most prominent name mem
toned for the presidency; hut there
are many shrewd politicians who
think that the day of Mr.. Gorman's
resignation of the presidency is afar
off, and that something out of the or.
binary run of affairs will again hap
pen to induce Mr.. German to remain
at the head of the canal. Senator
German offers as panacea for all the
troubles in the Democratic ranks, the
gerrymandering of the state so as to
enable the Democratic party to send
a solid Democratic delegation to Con-
gress. He has a plan which will
doubtless be followed by the Demo-
cratic majority of the legislature. He
wants to detach considerable Dor
ton of Frederick county to the Sec
ond Legislature district, and infuse
"neW blood" in the Fifth district by
adding to it slice of the Sixteenth
and Eighteenth wards of Baltimore
city. This would be an excellent
thing for the Republicans. 1t would
in all probability make the Second
district Republican, and by the in
PRODUCTION of the Republican votes of
the Sixteenth and Eighteenth wards
the Fifth district would soon be en-
abled to send n Republican member
to Congress. The Sixth district is
irredeemably lost to the Democrats.
and they can scarcely hope to regain
1t under any circumstances. Con.
gresham McLane, who is an older
and more experienced man, doubtless
saw the Senator's mistake, and hast.
ems to say that gerrymandering pro-
cesses always inure to the advantage
OF the party against which they are
directed. There is decided differ
ence of opinion between the Senator
and the Representative on this sub
iect. But Mr.. McLane rather goes
beyond his knowledge in the asser-
ton which. he is reported to have
made that the police census just taxi
en- is correct. Inasmuch as Mr.. Nc
Lane lives in Washington in winter,
and in Newport in summer, and only
occasionally visits Baltimore, he is
not very a competent Judge to decide
upon the increased population of Bal.
tImore in the last six months.-BaLto.

The Democratic PARTY of this State
is connecting mnnstrous iniquity in
the shape of gerrymaBderying the
Congressional Districts of the State.
They propose to redistrict the State
for Congressional elections, and in
such a way as they hope will result
in tine election of full Democratic
delegation from the State.
The first step in the crook ed scheme
was to have the police take census
of voters of Baltimore city, as if the
United Statea-the very one ON which
the lower House of Congress has just
passed an apportiOnment biil-wOuld
not do. Commenting on this pros
ceeding the Washington Star (Ind.)
says:
A census of voters of the city Of
Baltimore. recently taken by the po-
lice OF that city, shows the proportion
of voters to The whole lDpu alton TO
be unusually large. The average ess;sa
mate is that the voters will number
one to every five of population. The
last United States census puts The
population of Baltimore at 3d., 100,
which would, at the common es'i.
mate, give that city 66,43S voters;
but the police ctnSns returns SO. 1877,
or upwards 0f 1900 i'm excess of
what is admitted to he the general
proportion. The robust voting ca.
pacity of Baltimore city has always
been matter of surprise to the cOun.
try part of Maryland. and the new
police census of that city is calculated
to still further aslOnish the rural
population.
Following this, the Maryland
House of Delegates has taken up the
matter of redistricting. and has raised
a committee, all Democrats, being
one from each of the six Congress
sionaI Districts. The member of the
committee from this District is one of
3 Democrats out of II members of the
House from the District. Mr.. Tur-
ner fought the measure in the House.
hut of course he was OverSlau ghpd.
In the Senate Mr.. Brace fillibuStered
to defeat the matter. and fittingly
criticized the partiZan conduct of the
majority in manipulating the redis-
tricting.
The managers have given out that
they propose to cut Frederick county
in two, and put several of the str0ng-
est Republican precincts into the
Second District. Hoping thereby to
make this District Democratic and
also save the Second. By their"pad.
ded" census of Baltimore City, above
described, they propose to spare so'fse
voters to the Fifth District, and make
that permanently Democratic.
The Democracy should beware of
their conduct in this matter. While
we believe we have majority enough
in this District to spare some, still
we do not want to see the District
gerrymandered. IF it is done, we
are firmly convinced that the Second
and Sixth Districts will both O Re-
publican. The new registration, SUE
peryised by U. S. officers, will knock
the bogus Democratic vote in the nth
ward of Baltimore (part IF the Fifth
DiStrict) all to pieces, and with even
a fresh part Of Baltimore city added
to the Fifth we may carry that Dis
Cumberland News.

seven hilled city. This numbers more than
that, and the ups and downs are almost

built upon triangular corner, and our

IT appears from a statement of Mr..
Beck, made in his speech at Glasgow
last Monday, that the portion of the
national debt which has been paid of,
and about which the radicals are con-
stantly Boosting, amounting to more
than 81 600, 100000, simply consti.
tutes the profits of the bond holders
made upon their loans to the govern
ment. BY profits is meant, not
merely the interest upon the debt, but
actual gains, independent of interest,
which these men have made on their
purchases of U. S. bonds by reason of
radical legislation in their favor after
making the purchases; such as the act
of1S69, for instance, making the bonds
payable in coin instead of greenbacks
as they we're when they we're bought.
Mr.. Beck's statement is, that the
amount of the bonded debt now out
standing is just about the amount of
the money in gold loaned to the gov
eminent by the usurers, that is TO say,
the government, after having paid to
these men all the surplus revenue that
could be raised by the most enormous
taxation from year to year for IL
long years, amounting dn the aggre-
gate TO over a THOUSAND MILLION OF
DOLLARS, still owes them as much as
she borrowed from them at the outset!
Such is one Of the results of the fnan-
cial management of the party that
claims to be alone competent to con-
duct the monetary affairs of this repub-
lie and which claim, millions of fools,
including some democrats, are in the
the habit of co6cedlng to be well
founded.
