Democratic Pets.

The ring Journals OF The State are
striving to show that oil is peace and
harmony in the Democratic ranks. But
the thunder tones Of Morrison, of the
Crescent Club. Baltimore, the unvarnish.
ed language Of the Hagerstown Mail,
and the bitter denunciatiOn By the Mary
land Republican and other Democratic
journals against those who favor
continuance Of the conup,
methods which have domi 1atel ;bs
Democratic party for so long past, caus-
es the ringiies TO quake with fear. It
also makes the Republicans smile. for
now by Democratic witnesses al the Re.
publican charges Of fraud, ballot box
stualng. and other disreputable practices
which has kept the Democrats so long III
power in this State are proven -
Last weeks Maryland Republican gives
the following glowing description Of the
ring methods and their pets:
Commenting upon recent utlerance
Of the Easton ledger that Governor Jack
son may be considered ont of the race
for the Senate Of the United States two
prominent Eastern Shore papers remind
their readers and their 5retheren cf the
press that nobody has ever heard Gov
Jackson say thas he would not DC can
didatc for election to the United States
Senate. That he will be the "pet" of
the rig @ TSf that position. is we believe
generally conceded. And that ais chances
are more than even with other asnirants
is VIC apprehend most likely. That his
only qualification for that or any other
position is a business shrcwdness born
of bartering in the eggs and produce of
Wicjmico and the pelts Of his native
forests is further fact that no one fa-
miiar with his career will doubt A
tool of the ring, superseryient follower
Of the bosses-he carries the bags and is
placed and used wherever needed. Be-
hold the man whom these same bosses
have selected to present the intelligence
learning and virtue Of the Eastern Shore
Counties that abound in men of ability.
whose judiciary now ranks among the
grandest in the State, and whose bar is
radiant with the learning aad eIoauence
for which the name Of the Eastern Shore
has become histOric-all this grand ar
ray of genius and ability is threatened
with the insult of placing man in their
lead, as their United States Senator,
whose only genius has been displayed
behind the couHter Of country store
a man who can drive sharp bargain
aud buy and sell lumber, who is said to
have once been benefited by lumber
contracts with the Chesapeake aud Ohio
Canal, and who is now in obedience to
the wand ofm 6se directions

States would be Y Gro ~ disgrace to
the State of Maryland and to the Old
Eastern Shore. such as even the Ring
Master has hitherto hardly venturcd to
tempt his fate with. But the whip is
raised, the treasury needs to be replen-
lshed aud the party must obey orders
and fall into line. A man who's useful
at headquarters, whose pardon Of cor
rupt election judges who had with diff
,ulty been convict d aud who would
have suffered merited punishment, but
for the Intervention of the pardoning
power, all this has been acceptable to
those whose creatures these scouDdrels
were. Such qualifications of Usefulness
are likely again to place this man above
the heads of those who 10 every respect
OF qualification for the high Office Of
United States Senator are his superiors.
How much longer will Maryland tole-
rate ring rule. How much longer will
these execrable OUT ages upon decency,
and upon the rights and
honor of Marylanders be possible"

questions should rot be discussed ou the
Sabbath dag cod IN the house Of Divine
Worship. Yet all agree that it is part
OF the christian duty Of the clergy to
preach, not on sacred subjects alone. but

denOunce the inconsistencies Of the every

Over which they Keep guard as the
spiritual shepherd with their Sabbath

frequently the case that the dHty is acg-

reason to believe that the Democrats
will move band or feet to institute an in
vestigation of the management Of the
Tension Bureau so long as the charges
are confined to profuse hberality to the
soldiers and their widows and orphaus.
Their record shows that they are afraid
to do so. and these journals very we'll
know it,
The attidue Of the Democrats towards
the soldiers has always been one of sham
and hypocrisy. They make show of
cutting down pension expenditures and
always end by voting for any bill that is
presented, not from love of the soldier,
but from fear of his vote, aud this mo
tive will govern them in the next Con-
gress. If there is to be any change in
she administration Of the Pension Blu
reau. the Republicans will have to make
the first move. The indefinite attacks

who is Afraid.

The Democratic aud Mugwump press,
in default of some more serious complaint
sgainst the administration, have com
hined to attack Tanners management of
the Pension Bureau. They first claimed
that Tanners liberality to the soldier
was strongly condemned by the Secrcta-
~ of the Interior and the President, but
when confronted with evidences neither
has made complaint, they changed their
tscticJ and are now demanding of the
Democrats. when Congress assemblies,

CATION.
Tanner expresses himself as more than
pleased TO meet them half way-indeed
he dehes them to investigate aud throws
aut hints of damaging exposures Of the
administration of the office during the
incumbency of General Black that will
startle the country. Tanner, probably.
knows what he is talking about. Black
was afflicted towards the eud of bis term
with an irresistible itching for political
advancement. His ambition scared as
high as the vice presidency, and his chief,
whose aspirations extended only step
further, had great difficulty in curbing
the impulsiveness oshis subordinate. 1t
is entirely possible that he may have dis
played one sidedncss and disregard
OF the highest public good daring this
interval of political lanacy that the DEM
