The States: Maryland

Maryland is badly in deb% her present habilities amounting lo $16,376,637. Last year the Legislatura niilhorizerf the sale of the public works for 3511,700,000 in State boncis, whiisli could then liave been purchased for $4 680,000, but no sale was efiected and now the bonds have ri?en to 70 per cent. The. tax laws will not pay the interest on the State dcbt and the pub! c works are in a bad condition. The Emancip.itor givès u's a áfcecimeu of tliG management of slaveholding States. - Thero is a railroad Trom Baltimore to Washington, owned by a compnny, bot controlled by the Legisla tu re, on whieb .iliey cbarged $2,50 for travelling less than 40 miies. Fifty coiits of this, according to the Washington Globe of Dec.SO, is a poll tax on every man, woman and child vvho may visit the sent of Government, the proceeds :pfwhich wcre paid into the Slate Treasury. In this way the statesmen of Maryland thought they could come it over the Yankees. But certain persons of the Sam Patch order, vvho Ihink some things can be done as wel l as others, esíablished a line of stages through froni Baltimore to Washington, and the travel on the railroad is fast dirninishing. The Govenior caIs the attention of the Legislature to this state of things, and advises thern to conform to the spirit of the age, and reduc: the rate of fare, It will be recoilected that Mr. VV. Cos' Johnsoo, the projector of the Two Hundred Million schenie, was f 'rom Maryland. We have not heard a word of it daring the present session, notwithstanding it was so loudly talked of last winter. Quite a voluminous document was publishcd on the subject by the last Congrcss. 13ut the credit of the States ond of the General Government have rnpidly r'isèri since the project was first publishrd, anti "the relief of the Siates" is very properly left to the exertions of tiie citizens of each stiitc respectively..
