No I,allot REFORM for rhem.

The campaign methods which the Re-
publicans are pursuing in Sussex, as
outlined in the GAzETTEs George
town letter To-day, lend fresh interest to
the defeat, by the votes of that party,
OF the Australian ballot bill in the last
legislature and to the silence Of the Re-
publican State platform as to this inn
portant local reform. In Maryland the
same hostility, and for the same reason
that it would curtai their opportuni,
ties forpurchasing the negro vote which,
the AeNS confesses, the Republicans
have dehauched--ha been exhibited by
that party to the Australian ballot law
OF that State. The Maryland
law was passed about the same time
that the Delaware effort failed; but the
Maryland legislature was Democratic;
that made the difference. In Maryland,
as in this State, prior to the meeting of
the last Legislature, it had been for many
years the stapleof Republican denuncia-
ton that the Democrats had failed to
provide any proper and effective remedy
against election frauds and the intimida-
ton and bribery of voters. But no
sooner had Democratic legislature
passed and a Democratic governor
signed a measure designed, and well de-
signed, to remedy these long com
planned of evils, than the Republic
cans set to work TO tear the

Nothing Moro Than LOCALIZED System

The world has hitherto bowed it's head to
blackmail for wedding presents. Is it, asks
the London Standard, II merit In mar to
woo and win II pretty woman! Or is it a
merit in n woman TO captivate gilded
numbskull, that they should Immediately

and even their bare acquaintancesl Doubt
less there IS II considerable amount of
shreNdncss and perseverance displayed in
the pursuit; hence it may be considered a
highly mcrtorious action when two young
people succeed in the endeavor to make each
other miserable for life. But why should
VIC, who are not in the smallest degree
gamers by the interesting event, open our
sometimes sparsely-lined purses in order to
give either gentleman or his betrothed a
wedding present! If q man goes up to the
city daily for the purpose of making money,
the world says he is Il shrewd fellow, with
no FOOLS flesh about him; and if by any
chance he may make a lucky coup upon the
stock exchange, or in whatever business he
may devote his laborS to the worship of the
golden calf, his friends will either say he has
the luck of Lucifer, or perhaps that he is n
hard-headed, steady worker, and deserves
his coveted prize They do not rush off to
Regent street in search of some costly trib-
ute, rather would they expect him to bcne-
fit them in some way in giving little din
ncr at Richmond or Greenwich. Why then
should man, because his friend writes to him
saying: g. My darling Chriscable has prom
iscd to make me the happest of men," i'm
inediatcly begin to rack his brains in order
to discover what he shall buy as suitable
wedding present! Would it not be far more
sensible and perhaps more heartfelt, if he
wrote to his friend and wished him joy of
his great good luck in winning the lady of
his love! Surely there would be more real
feeling in such n course than in the little
packet which is sent straight from the sill

the action which must in many cases render
