Common that it prevails iu many
iiounties of the State and almost
universally on the eastern shores of
Maryland. The practice in Mary
land should be stopped by a strin
gent legislation, prohibiting vote
buying or otherwise corrupting the
ballot box. A pure and uncorrupt
ballot is the bulwark of a free
government, and we might say the
foundation upon which we rest the
principles which control free in
structions. The put chase of votes
and the debauchery of the elections,
will place a premium upon wealth
at the expense of ability and merit,
and will diive our best citizens out

Many think that the death of :
Mr. Samuel Spencer, President of;
the Southern Railway, will bea
great loss, especially to the town of
Spencer. That town was named
for Mr. Spencer and was one of
his pets. Millions of dollars had
been expended there; parks had
been purchased; and much more
was to be spent.
