But little more than week will elapse
before every freeman in Maryland will be
called on to cast his vote. That vote will
be thrown either for the veal or woe of his
country. Have you thoughtfully consid-
cred of what momentuos Importance the
casting of ballot is There is all the differ
ence between Government of the people
by the people and for the people," and a
personal OF despotic Government like that
of France under the iron rule of Napoleon.
If you cast your ballot on the Sth of
November as the ignorant French people
did when they voted for Napoleon, without
knowing what kind of political principles
you are aiding by that vote to establish
you may, like the French, be preparing
your necks for yoke as CALLING as they
have bowed under for the last 1S years.


If you vote for the Democratic party,
you vote to wipe out the public debt by
reputation, and general prostration, bank
ruptcy, ruin to public credit, and national
disgrace. You vote to pay the rebel debt,
reward British bondholders of that debt
who supplied the funds and arms to carry
on the rebellion, which piled up our ma
tional debt and made vacant seat in every
home. You vote for pensicning rebel SOL
diers, and returning the colored man to a
state of slavery worse ten times than that
from which he has been freed. You vote
for the decline of free schools, Of American
manufactures, and with that decline still
lower prices for the farmers produce. You
vote to open our markets for manufactured
articles made by the starving laborers in
the mills of Europe, and general bank
ruptcy to our manufacturing industries.
Are you desirous to open this Democratic
pandora box? When you voted the DEM
ocratic party in power in Maryland, you
voted 1000, 900 of debt upon the State at
one session of the Legislature. You voted
an army of office-holders on the State to
eat up its substance such as never preyed
on it before. You voted real estate in
Maryland from a brisk market and high
prices to nominal values by bringing debt
with its accumulated load of taxation upon
the property of the State. Do you desire
that the Democratic party shall do for the
nation what they have done for this State,
and more consume almost as much of the
peoples money in a single year as the
Republican party did in five years?


If you wish to avoid repetition of these
disasters, and commence putting our old
State again on the road to prosperity,
speak to your neighbor, and point out to
him the reckless horde of office-holders and
hunters which crowd the Democratic ranks:
and the waste, robbery and extravaganza
which have marked every step of that
party where it is allowed to assume con-
troll. Point him to the City of New York,
governed by irresponsible Democratic
leaders, where the tax for city Government
amounts to $2S per capita, or per head of
the people. Point your neighbor to these
facts, and show him that it is not only his
duty, but his interest to vote the Republi-
can ticket, sustain the Republican party in
power in the nation, and prepare to over
throw the false and corrupt Democratic
power in this State.

MoNTpENsIEE IN MADKiD.-A cable de-
spatch which we publish this morning has it
that the Duke Of Montpensier has arrived In
Madrid and that he has been closeted with
Prim and Topete. Prim was long the patron
of the Duke of Genoa, but that did not work
He is now open to now engagement Topete
has been the consistent friend Of Montpensier
throughout, and, though less quietly, so has
been Serrano. The fact that Serrano has
been able to appear in Madrid is to us deeply
suggestive. It will not surprise us to learn on
an early day that Montpensier has been pro-
claimed King. Prim and the rest Of them
have used his money. They owe him some
thing The crown might satisfy Montpensier,
while it would relieve their consciences. But
it is well to bear in mind that it is not possible
for Montpensler to remain long King of Spain.
Still he has chance, now that Napoleon is no
longer the autocrat Of France.

Brigham Young has secured the success of his
orthodox ticket in Salt Lake City. His tenn
poral power is prolonged and he can use 1t as
best he may to put down the opposing schisms.
The feature of the election, however, was the
first legal participation Of women in the voting.
1t is stated that very few Of them went to the
polls. This fact Immediately puts brighter
face on the question Of woman suffrage. 1t
seems all the women want is the right to vote,
and if they won't use It any more than the
Mormon women it would be as well to Let them
have it, If only to get rid Of their persistent
demands for it.

ynailcrs Of Commerce.


One Of the most remarkable developments
made at the recent meeting of the new Board Of
Quarantine Commissioners was that contained
in the statement ofA merchant present that the
people in certain trade had Cause to complain,
not Of the Quarantine laws, but Of the way in
which the laws had been administered II
seems that when he had vessels arriving with
cargoes he was obliged by special edict to
employ the Quarantine lighters to unload the
vessels, in order to have them discharged from
Quarantine and that, as general rule, the
vessels would be up and moored alongside
their wharf before the lighters would get up
with the cargoes This settles the question so
far as the employment Of lighters by command
of the Quarantine pirates is concerned, and is
one of those instances which shows that, what
ever objections may exist against the Quaran-
tine laws themselves, they ars rendered doubly
obnoxious in consequence of the illegal and
arbitrary manner in which they are executed.


The points taken by the HERALD last year in
relation to these pirates of Quarantine aud
blackmailers of commerce are amply confirmed
by the disclosures made since tho new Quaran-
tine Commissioners and the new Health Officer
came into power.

Railway Stocks asd Speculative Intuition.


The past year was remarkable for . very
general watering Of railway stocks, and scrip
dividends, SO called, were attached to almost
oil the shares Of the leading lines. The year
1869 was very profitable one with most Of
our railway corporations and in the enhanced
receipts the managing officials made profit Tor
themselves by adding to the share capital.
How ar the great stock panic OF last
September is attributable to this imitation
Of nominal values is question which might
be investigated with . great deal Of interest.
With the decline in gold, however, and with
the increased competition arising out Of the
building Of new roads and the compile
ton or extension Of Others railway property
underwent an enormous decline. Now that
the same speculative combinations are again
at work in the effort to restore the imitation of
last year 1t behooves the public to be on their
guard against the schemes Of the unscrupu-
lous mon who are ever ready to fleece the
unwary.


The matter Of railway earnings is at present
80 surrounded with the complications Of con-
solidation and overissues that the capitalist
who seeks reliable investment has no sure
guarantee on which to predicate his choice.
The merging of two or three roads into one
has so confused the receipts that the compare
tive tables presented to the public are no guide
whatever to the comparative value Of the old
and new stock. Again, where individual
lines have been extended so as to include
new sections of country these tables are made
without reference to the increase of road or OF
operating expenses The whole system Is at
fault in pretending to exhibit the real re-
sources of the various lines. But another
and greater injustice prevails. The mana
gers are, with rare exceptions, heavily inte-
rested as spectators in the lines under their
care. Hence in their manipulation Of the
stock they not unfrequently resort to the
scandalous device of declaring dividends
which have never been earned. This is
Hagrautly the case in several of the Western
RAILWAYS which are active features daily at the
Stock Exchange. In one instance, although
the treasury of the road showed deficit
of several millions for last year,
the directors borrowed money to declare
large cash dividend. As well might mar
subsist on his own flesh. These lines in pay.
ing dividends are devouring their own vitals
and the directors who declare such dividends
are simply criminal and ought to be made
amcnable to the laws which punish felony
The reaction from such forced upholding o.
railway values must inevitably come, and the
public are sure to be the victims. No wonder
that our railway securities are regarded with
SO little favor abroad. It was proposed tt
indict the gold gamblers for conspiracy agains
the credit of the government. Why should no


Congress enact some law which will make th'


speculation Of railway directors conspirac!
! against commerce?

we came here, was in a very unsatis.
factory financial condition. 1t is at
least somewhat the other way now.
AS to the difference the three years
have made in other respects, let our
friends rather than ourselves con.
slider.


Two years ago we promised our
readers that we would enlarge the
paper as soon as possible. We have
dose SO. by fortunate circum-
stance, last December, we were ena-
bled to get large Press; and the
enlargement Of the paper followed as
soon as the necessary arrangements
could be made.


But this enlargement compelled
the adoption of the Advance Pay
system-and it fell upon a bad time
in the year, as well as in the midst
of "hard times'' generally. We
could not have prevented this, how
ever, without postponing the en-
largement of the paper; and we
preferred to keep our promise, and
enlarge as soon as we possibly could,
even If it did cause us loss.


Yet the situation at present Is bet
ter thar we had counted on. Unpaid
Subscriptions were crossed off from
our Books with impartial strictness
on the 1st Of June; and still there
were q good many more names left
than we had prepared ourselves to
expect when the Advance Pay ar
rangement was adopted. And in
the brief space since the lst inst, be-
tween IS and 100 names, renewals
and new Subscriptions, have been
added to the List. New Subscrip-
tions, in these hard times, were not
to be expected; yet they have been
coming in, and at a most gratifying
rate too, since the lst Of this month;
and we hear of many more to come
as soon as money grows little easi-
er. The people of the County are
coming more and more to appreciate
the fact that the TOter is now really
a big County paper and cheap for
the money.


TO the many kind friends who
nave aided, in word or deed, to en-
courage, sustain snd build up their
County paper, we would tender our
most sincere thanks; and hereafter,
as before, we shall strive earnestly to
deserve their goodwill and support.

Much has recently been written Of
the trials bousekeepers endure from the
faults of the servants which they are
at present able to procure, and many
writers would have us believe that the
Irish are, as a rule, slovenly, drunken
and dishonest. They speak Of the ne
glecN waste, and bad condition of
things generally in those kitchens
where Bridget reigns, and long for
the day when Wo Lee shall fill her
place. Now, i believe this question,
like every other, has two sides, only
one Of which is usually presented. OF
the virtues of Wo Lee / know nothing,
therefore will not speak. That the
Irish, as a race, have their vices can
not be denied, but they also have their
virtues, just as marked, though usually
lost sight Of. Things will certainly 20

or any other servant is left sole mana
ger. Housekeeping, like every other
business, to be successful, should be
looked after and directed by some in

DISRUPTION AMONG THE REPUBLICANS.
The war in Europe and the anomalous condition
OF political affairs on the Continent are likely
TO produce serious disruption in the republican
party in this country. The question regarding
the establishing of republics In Europe is
the main point in issue. While the watchwo
has been sent forth by republican leaders ap-
proving the Prussian successes, the fact that
Prussia is moving its energies to crush out the
sentiment of republican liberty in France and
elsewhere in Europe has created the division
we refer to in the republican ranks here. No
party in this country can stand that arrays
itself on the side Of monarchical institutions
and in antagonism to free constitutional liberty

Tar NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC EDITORS
met In Paterson on Tuesday last to talk over
the prospects Of the campaign Of this fall. It
is said they are troubled about the fifteenth
amendment, under which the negro vote will
be brought to bear on the State election in
November. On the full white vote tho democ-
racy are satisfied If they carry the State by
two or three thousand majority; but the negro
vote, which 1t is feared will go for the repub-
licans solid, will be from five to six thousand.
We suspect therefore, that this conference Of
the Jersey democratic editors had reference to
some hedging for the negro vote, and we look
for general movement before long of the
