The eastern Shore" Law.

We have no desire or intention to
enter into the merits of the case so far
as Messrs Wellington, Russum, Colds
boro, ct al, are concerned in the race
for the U. S. Senatorship that began in
the Maryland Legislature on Tuesday
last: as the claim upon or the capacity
to fill the place so far as any OF these
asplrants may be concerned we have
nought to say, but as to the fact that the
Eastern Shore of this State shall con-
tinuously have one while the remaining
six-sevenths of the State shall continu'
ously have the other U. S. Senator, we
have most decided views.
In the first place, from q political
standpoint, the Chesapeake Bay is but
an imaginary line and sectionallsm is
as vicious a principle in State as IN
National affairs.
In the consideration Of commercial
affairs the division of the State by the
Chesapeake becomes factor, because
therein ale dealt with problems OF COM
modities, not ideas; transactions not
theories; matter, not law, whereas IN
the government of the State or it's rep
resentatlon in the U. S. Senate, abstract
ideas framed into laws, applicable to
every phase Of State life and, from the
National standpoint, single and iden-
tical as they apply to every section Of
the State, alone may be considered and
the Chesapeake Bay, as dividing line
becomes as dimenslonless as the imagl-
nary lines that divide the counties.
Were the Senate to speak Of the
Memorable Senator from the Eastern
Sho' of Mary land" the absurdity of the
proposition would become apparent and
yet,if the statute is not unconstitutiona,
Senator chosen by the present Legls-
lature from the Western Shore, would
not be Senator from Mary land. the
fact that the Eastern Shore numbers,
but about one seventh of the population
of the State, is not, in our Judgment, 2
decisive factor in the consideration o.
the matter; if among the minority should
be found two men super emnently fitted
for the place, to them it should be
given and, partisan politics aside, prob
ably would be; but, caeterls parabus, (and
it is liberalty to degree that comedies
it) presumably the two super-eminently
fitted men would oftenest be found
among the six~sevenths majority and
when SO found, the State should not be
precluded by sectional law from Sc
Letting them.
Respect for that law and for a hoary
head are identical in foundation and as
gray hairs thatch many perverse head
so does the antiquity Of this law shield
from assault most senseless and per-
verse proposition.
We do not believe it to be constitu-
tional and when Mr.. yelling ION said
that he proposed 10 ignore" it, he
expressed in one word the position we
take against it; we shall be we'll pleased
to have it "gnored," so that there may
be an opportunity to test its coustitu-
tionality.

Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea Of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to him fortune. Unfor.
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock- the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of Inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.

Map of North America.

map of North and Central America,

to whom l go to read from time to

preservation, and tho names are as
legib.e rs if they had been printed
yesterday instead of 200 years ago.
Its title is in both Latin and French.
1t seems to be very accurate, CON-
sidering it's date, although it looks
strange enough on comparing it with
modern map of North America. I
