If the next Legislature can spare
time enough from enacting laws
declaring certain brooks and creeks
are nayigable, TO pay some atten-
tion to general Legislation, the hon
orable body can do much towards
preserving the purity of the ballot
by passing a law locking to the pre-
yention Of bribery, The present
statute, which simply takes up so
much space in our books is n Joke.
II requires the evidence of two wit
nesses, or one witness with strong
corroborative testimony, to make a
case, In our Judgment such law
simply opens wide the avenues
leading to bribery and corruption.

Imperfect Legislation.

The last Legislature passed an Act
providing for the appointment Of d
commission to inquire into the ex.
pediency and utility Of draining the
marshy lands Of Maryland. Gov.
McLane never made the appointment
because there was an uncertainty or
any appropriation to pay the expenses
of the commission, and the new Gov.
ernor, Mr.. Lloyd, has never consid.
cred the matter. The next Legisla-
ture will probably amend the act so
as to provide for an appropriation to
do the necessary work.

THE CoUYTRY NEWSPAPER. The
Philadelphia Times trutbfuIly remarks
that ''tbe country newspaper is the
most useful of all the agencies which
stamp the impress Of progress upon
villages and inland cities. Without
the aid Of local newspapers towns are,
as a rule, tbriitless and dead. It is
common for small great men to speak
with contempt Of the local newspa-
pers, but the village newspaper makes
more great men out of less material
more bricks without straw-than any
other factor in politics, and it is the
one ladder Oh which men climb TO
local distinction as the beginning Of
wider fame. The advent Of the local
newspaper has always dated the in
creased thrift Of the community. The
local newspaper is the life Of the local
ity, and the measure of its support,
as q rule measures tho advancement
Of the people. "

HoN. John a. Logan, the republi-
can yice-presidential candidate, was
yesterday, reelected to the United
States Senate from the State Of Illi-
nois. The contest is the most re-
markable on record. The Legislature
ct the OStset was a tie on joint ballot.
the republicans having q majority Of
one in the Senate and the democrats
of one ia the House. The balloting
began on February 10. and was con-
tinued from time to time without re-
suit until yesterday. The deadlock
was prolonged By the death during
the session Of q democratic Senator
aud two members of the House, one
republican and one democrat. The
latter died April l2, and though his
district was strongly democratic, the
republicans three weeks later succeed
ed in electing bis successor, which
gave them lO3 votes. the number re.
Quired by the constitution, and en-.
abled them to bring the contest to 9
close. Senator Logan is one of the
most honorable and upright men in
the country. Though an uncompro-
missing republican, be has always been
on intimate terms Of friendship with
bis brother democratic Senators, COM
manding their respect for his unserv-
ing honesty and integrity.

A CURE ron HARD T1MEs-Not-
withstanding the CRY Of hard times,
there still seems to Be disposition on
the part Of some to 90 ahead and
do business in the way Of building
and making other improvements,
this giving employment to many who
would otherwise have but little to do.
This disposition is commendable, and
il all who are able to do so, would
follow the example of the few such
enterprising men in our midst, we
would no longer bear the cry-"hard
times" ringing in our ears at every
turn of our street corners. If men
who have the capital to make inn
provements. would go to work and
invest their money il this way, they
could furnish employment TO q large
class Of our people-both mechanics
and laborers, and would at the same
time put money IL circulation, (which
would soon have the effect Of freviving
business in all it's multifarious forms;
the mechanic and laborer would have
money and would in turn patronize
men in other departments Of business,
while the latter would again encour-
age others, and thus, like the complex
machinery one wheel would start an
other, and thiss q third, aud SO on,
throughout. while the capitalists
would be the handspring which puts
the whole il motion.
Then indeed might such men own
ing capital be styled benefactors; they
wOuldGbe PERSONS whose usefulness
could not be valued 10 dollars and
cents; they would 81 tie pillars of
society, and would receive the respect
dhd esteem Of oil who know them;
they would enjoy great peace Of mind
because having the divine approval
as good and faithful stewards over
that wealth which God has put into
their hands. It is q great blessing to
be wealthy-wealth Is one Of the gifts
Of God-but there is q degree Of re-.
sponsibility connected with 1t which
is indeed weighty, and Of which the
poor man knows nothing practically.
II those persons having means
would spend it in the way Of improv-
ingand putting up new buildings, they
would lose nothing. but, on the con.
trary, they would increase in wealth,
because buildings are always worth
their cost if properly constructed.-
Besides. this isa good time for build
ing; material is low, labor is low, and
q house could now be constructed for
two thousand dollars which il two
or three years,might be worth three
thousand or more.
There ere many ways ID which q
man Of means might employ his capi-
e. 20 = 70 Dc good, and yet increase
10 wealth. In our way Of thinking
nothing win ever bring about better
times unless If Be something to cause
the money 70 circulate there Is "a.
abundance oft u the country, but It
is where It can do no good unless some
method is resOrted to that win bring
it out and cause II 20 circulate.
