BALTIMORE, MD. The Republicans of this Sta'e j eed nothing lo aesure to them a Miicixr Tirtorr except a full rote. The issues between the two parties are well understood, tbe lines are well defined, the contras-t between their co.jdoct of the State finan ces is fchurp and clear, and if every roter who in sentiment heartily en dorses tbe principles of the Republi can party and approves of its ad ministration, of State affairs, could be relied on at tbe polls, there could be no doubt of the final result, on tbe chird day of Xorem'xr next. That alone u the single difficulty between us and assured victory. With tbe tuninesrfs now existing euch a vote a cannot" be depended upon, and can only be secured by a thorough and vigorous canvass, bnt so quiet has been tbe campaign, bo little bas been F&id and read upon the subject, that no general interest in tbe matter bas yet been excited. In this county there are doubtless hundreds of Republicans who have riven the rapidly approaching eh c tioa no thought. Means should at once be used to bring them to a prop er sense of their duty and their re sponsibility. This can only be d ne by live energetic action. The time has come to enter upon this course with vigor, and a determination to succeed. What are the candidates upon our county ticket doing? If each of them will devote one fourth as much time to canvassing for the ticket, as be did to sernre bis own nonihiation, we will have a full vote at the polls. Where is the score of candidates wbo were asking nomina tions at tbe last Tri-naries? surely tbe failure to secure success thca, has not made them lukewarm, or less anxious to insure a party triumph now, and personal advancement ia in the future. What is tbe hot of iitendicg candidates at the next pri mary election, when nearly all oor county offices are to be filled, doing towards present success? Surely they are not proposing to themselves to reap the fruiu of a victory which they Lave takea no means to insure! It is time, high time, that not only pres ent and prospective candidates, but all good and true Republicans were at work. The results to be accom plished arc not cmly'tbe success of our State and county tickets, but tbe election of a Member of Congress, and a United States Senator, wbjue votes for protection to our home in dustries may be adly needed h a Congress, where the Free Trade e'e- tneatlas by the late electionn mxl heavy fains upon us.

I The elections held on Tuesday of last week in OLio, Indiana, Iowa, N'tbrairka, Dakota, West Yirgiuia and Arkansas resulted the same as last Mc'r Kin- that the Democrats have Minul Knir a score of members o: Congress, which, ip.no event can change -the complexion cf the next House of Representatives at Wash ington. In Ohio and Indiana tbe temperance qnesiioa entered largely into tfce canvass, and undoubtedly caused the losses sustained by the Republicans, particularly ia the former SUtei where a Prohibition plank was adepted in the platlorm., Tbe lesson of these -elections is, that Ol.io, Indiana, Arkansas and Wcsi Virginia, Pcniocrati: last year,! bave elected tbe Democratic ticket this year and bave gained, a dozen members cf Congress. Not on ques tions of National importance, or affecting-party issues, but solely cn minor and local measures, while in Iowa, Xebaska and PakoU where these minor issues were kept out of the canvass the Republican majori ties bave been larirelr increased. Of course there will he the usual amount of exultation over these Dem ocratic victories, and it will be claim ed that a great revolution bas taken place ia public sentiment, but nothing is further froa the truth. Tbe Re publicaas of Olio and Indiana on all national issues, stand ju.-t where tbey have done for the last ten vean. The moral to be adduced from these elections is, tbat the Republican party, assured by long continued victories, has grown eareless, ha3 permitted minor issues to creep into iia camp, and has trusted more to prestige than to organization. Let us therefore see to it, that we ia Pennsylvania suffer not from the same cause?. It is not wise to disguise the fact that tbe re sult cf these elections will greatly! elato the Democrats, and that there-1 fore tbej will work who frantic ener gy. This must be met with vigor by . the Republicans. Tberc is no tendency to leave the party, there is no disaffection with its principles, and all xe require is an active can vass and a full vote, to secure us an overnbelminir victory. The political issue before the peo ple is so simple that no one need err in understanding it. It is just this and nothing more: Shall thecontrol of the House of Representatives pass into the hands of the Democracy? Any bide issue, any division of Re publican, strength ouloeal question?, any votes, from tbe regular 'ticket, serrc to weaken our party, and ia proportion to their strength tend to increase the chances of the Democra cy. Let nothing stand in the -way of a complete Republican Fuccesa. It is vital to the peace and welfare 0 the nation that the party that stands pledged to tbe unity of theJBepublie, to an honest and economical adminis tration of its affairs, to tbe protection of its citizens at home and abroad, should be Continued in power.'

Durog the period fiOia 1S30 to Iftfil when tie Democrats bad al most undisputed control of tbe State, tbe State debt ran up from nothing, to over $i 0.000,000. Tbey were then turned out of power, and from that date 101, to I S74, tbe Republi can officials of t'ie State have 'paid off -about nineteen ittii!ious of that debt, being an, average uf over a million an ! a half a year. This is tbe contrast that is present ed to the people, between the finan cial policy of tbe two parties. In thirty years the Democrats ran the State ia debt at tbe rate of ftoro than one and. a quarter millions a year, while the Republicans since they Lave con;rcIIed it, bave yearly paid off a million and a half oftho debt created by tbe Democracy. And let it be remembered also, that this im mense redaction ha3 been made not by increased taxation, but under a policy that bas abolished all taxation of persona! and real estate lor State purposes. Ltt the farmers of the county consider we'd .these momen tous facts, and cast their votes for that party whose rule has proved the most benef.:-ial fur their personal interests. . .

Ittiu'yand clearly sets before tbe people the issue in volved io the coming election, and appeals to all true Republicans with a force not to be resisted by thought ful men. The nomination of Mr. Blair for Congress and Col. Yutzy for Senate, are well received in all part3 of both districts. We publish numerous ar ticles from Republican journals bigh- commerfding both nominations. Umn !. H. ill air. In tha nomination of Hon S.

A thoroughly honest man m private end public life; of experience in Na tional legislation; of conceded ability, and a Republican from conviction a Republican ut and before the birth of thcparty bis nomination is one eminently fit to be made. Mr. Blair eulered Congress in 159 and sat in that body durinz tbe memorable sessions of 'CO, 'Cl, 'G2 and 'C3, occupying important posi tions on committees and on the floor of the House. His ability as a lawt yer was called into requisition in framing the many laws demanded for the organizing of oiir armies, and for providing means, financial and otter wise, to uphold tbe Oovcrnment in its great struggle with Treason. He was a member of Congress when the opportunities for, and tho-temptations to corruption were the greate-st, aud be served bis country with fidel ity and returned with .unstained hands. He has been fairly tried and found fully up to tbe requirements of a conscientious, faithful, efficient rep resentative. He is honest; he is capable; be is :n Learty sympathy with tnc princi ples of the Republican party and with the Industrial interests of this district. The people of the district bave just reason to be proud of the candidate of their choice, and this county, we are assured, will acknowl edge tbe compliment of his nomina tion, by giving him a majority equal to that of governor Hartranft.

Last Sunday (th) one of tbe most exciting scares tbat New Yerk las been treated to took place.' Sixty wild Texas steer3 were being driven through tbe crowded streets to tbek final goal, the" slaughterhouse, when, as mis-ht bave been expected,, tbey took friabt. A genuine stampede ensued. Bewildered and' frighten ed, tbe long-horned beasts became transformed iuto so many demons. Tbey chars-ed in a wild, furious fight up the densely crowded street, at tacking whatever came m their way. Now a man would be tossed from their fearful horns now a cart would be overturned.' Menand wo men elii: ed awning posts, and crow ded into doorways for safety. Final ly the herd became peparated, and one by one, the furious beasts were captured. Bat they "made it lively while tbey were about it, Io have sixty wild steeM.mad and blind with rasre, charee through a street crow ded with vehicles aad men-, women, and children, is anything but a joke. It 13 a wonder that no hres were lost and that so few were ' injured. " 60VE CRIMINAL STATISTICS. - : The annual inventory of the crimi nal sitcation bas been taken, and the figures given are startling. For in stance, the cost cf earing for the dan gerous classes, courts, police and prisoners, foots op $5,000,000 annual ly. The arrests per year amount to 112,000, and the criminals, tbat is to say the pepie wbo live by violating laws', number 50,000. There are ia tbe city 12,000 actual prostitutes, known aad open in their pursuits, and probably as many ' more who Hve by prostitution but who carry on their nefarious business ; nnietlr and not in a public way. There ore 3, 000 known pick-pockets playing tbeir trade all the time. then there are" G, 000 thieves who have' no- specialty, but who steal anything tbat -comes ia their way.' There are 1,000 fe male ihep-lifters who- make their living by plundering stores, and there are 600 fences, or to use Eng lish, receivers of stollen goods" W hen I put the number of criminals at 50, 000, I do not, of course, include the Pemocratie politicians. Add that das to the estimate and tbe number would be swelled at once to "5,000. But the show is sufficient frightful without adding this most dangerous or all tbe classes. ' 1 . BEECIIER-TILTO.V. . , , ' At last this matter bas come to a bead.' Beecher has commenced suit against Tilroa and Moulton for libel, and the nastiness will go to the courts for final adjudication. This is where il should bave gone at the beginning. Io the courts thfl'acf intbe case will be brought out, for there can be no suppression of evidence and no dodging. If Tilton and Moulton have conspired to ruin aa innocent man, that fact will be made apparent, and if on tbe other hand tbe man is not ioooeegt, it will be so shown. But right ia the midst of the satisfac tion that thislerrible trouble will be settled by the courts comes one terri ble draw-back, which oes to: show that human felicity cannot be perfect. Tbe bitter drop ia my cup is Mrs. Tilton is going to make a statement! She has got to have her innings. Tilton haa made two, Beecher one, Moulton one, Miss Catharine Beecher one, almost everybody' 'etee one or twe, and now Elizabeth is going to rush into nrint lo tell what she knows about it. Will 6be tell it all? Ah, that's the rob. She knows as much about the ma'ter a3 any one, but will she tell all she knows? And if the does will it be believed ? Like all tbe rest of them it is to her a painful duty," bul be feels it a duty, and she is- epinr to do - it For your sakes, Messrs. Editor?, -1 prav she may be more economical cf words than the rest of theia have -been. May she keep within tbirtv ordioary newspaper columns. ' But there is no telling. The people concerned io this quarrel bave a passion for six sylla bled word?, and a most exasperating number of them 1 they bave heaved upon the world.

"f The individual wb supposed ' tbat to get very rich it is only neees9ary to come to New lork and "go jnto business," labors under a fearful 1 de lusion. Not one man ia a hundred who goes into business ia this city retires, with a competency of any thing like it." You sec when you pay $15,000 a year rent, when you pay clerk hire, commission for the busi ness you do, and when, the simple item of gas alone amounts to $1,000 a year, you bave got to sell, a great many goods and do a gread deal of business to get anything ahead. The curse of New i York is . expenses, i Nothing ia done for love !or friend ship money enters into everything,, and the money question U so promi nent, so ever present, that h who makes any of it ia bus'tuess has got to have an extraordinary capacity for business combinations, and euorinous capital on which to make- money. The most money that has been made here for years has been ihade in rea! estate.

The band played an appropiate air, when, loud calls being made for President Grant, he stepjred forward amid enthusiastic applause, and spoke as follows : ..THE PRESIDENT'S EE. MARKS. Mr. Chairman, Ladie and Gen tlemen; OUfan ' occasion like tbe present, it is a duty on my part to bear testimony to the great and good qualities of the patriotic man whose earthly remains now rest beneath the dedicated monument. It was not my fortune to make the personal ac quaintance of Mr.- Lincoln till the beginning of the' last year of tbe great struggle for national existence. During those years of doubt and de spondency among tbe many patriotic men cf .the 'country, Abraham Lin coln never for a moment doubted but tbat the final result would be in favor of peace, nis faith in an All-wise Providence directing our arms to tbia jeyful result was the fith of the Christian that bis Redeemer liveth. Amidst c bloquy, personal abuse and bate undisguised, which was given vent to without restraint through the press; upon the stump, and in private circles, he remained the same staunch, unyielding servant cf the people; never exhibiting revecgetul feelings against his tradueers He rather pitied them, and hoped, for their own sake and the good name of their pos terity, they might d?sist It did not occur to him for a single moment that the man Lincoln was being assassiu atcd, but tbat treasonable spirit, one waiting to destroy tbo freest govern ment the sun ever shone upon, was giving vent to itself on hiai as chief executive cf the nation, oidy because bo was such executive. As a lawyer in yoor midst he would have avoid ed all tbat slander, for his life was a pore and simple one, and be, no doubt, would have beeo a much hap pier man. But who cau tell what might have been the fate cf tbe na tion but for the pure, unselfish aad wise administration : cf Lincoln? From March 1864, to the day wheu the band of au assassin opened the grare for Mr. Lincoln, then President! of the United States, my personal relations wnbtiim were as close, as intimate, as the nature of our respec tive duties would permit To know him personally was to love and 'respect' him for bis ereat qualitiea-of Lead aud heart, and for his patience und patriotism, with all his disappointments from failures on the part of those "to" whom be entrust ed command, aud treatlhery on the part cf those who bed gained bis confidence but to betray it. I. never heard him utter a complaint nor cast censure for bad conduct or bad faith. It was" bis nature to find excuses for bis adversaries. In his death the nation lost its greatest head. Iu his death the South lost its most just friend. ' A rJPEECU FROM Mil. COLFAX. f Ex-Yice " President Colfax, wit was discovered on tbe platform, wa- loudly caMed for.
