NAVAL couRT MARTIAL.

We bring up the proceedings of the second
Court Martial upon Captain PHILIP F. VOORHEES,
from Wednesday morning to Saturday evening last.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Coke, counsel for the
cused presented the Court paper demurng to its urs
dcton the ground that by the thirty eighth article of the
Navy Rules provided that after charges had been made
against an officer should be presented to the
Court unless they had to its knowledge since the
mencemen Of its sitting and in that that reasonable
time should be allowed the accused prepare his defence
After delberaon this point in session. the Court
decided that could take cognzance of what had been
done in any Court Martial that the charges had been
made known the accused in the regular way and that he
had accordingly given list of witnesses and plead
to what urged against him.
BY request of Captain Voorhees, the specifications have
been obtained for publication but they relate TO his taking
the Congress up Annapolis when ordered into Norfolk
his giving (aleged unfounded for doing
his adoption Of illegal modes Of punishment and giving lille
gal authority TO his officers for that purpose.
On Thursday the counsel for the accused put objec
tons 10 the jurisdiction of the Court but being overrued
the accused pleaded moi gully, under protest The first
charge then read and the Secretary of the Navy Tin per-
SOM proved that omitted in the former Court Martial
the special and pressing request of Captain Voorhees, him
SELF Objection being reiterated by the accused the Court
deeraed and decided that charges known and preferred
at the time other charges preferred could be made
against party accused either at the subsequent,
court martial
But the specification of the charge that the accused dis
obeyed orders delaying leave Annapolis for Norfolk
sustained.
On Saturday Lieutenant Jenkins examined, and, in
the course Of his testimony, out that Capt Voorhees,
had at about the time Of crossing the line, expressed his in
tenon to take his ship up Annapolis The charge under
which this important evidence given was that wherein
Captain Voorhees, is alleged to have displayed "scandaous
conduct" in mssaiing the which induced his repair
ing to Annapolis instead Of to Norfolk, ordered by his
pcrior in command Commodore Daniel Turner.

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

Misled by our supposition Of confidential rela-
tons between the Administration and the New
York " Morning News" we gave some credit and
currency to statement which we found in that
paper some days ago. to the effect that this Gov
eminent " had received assurances from the British
Minister at Washington that newly-appolnted
Z Minister to Mexico would not fail to be favorably
: received by the Mexican Government" &c.
This statement considering where we found It, we
presumed to be not altogether without foundation.
/. The Unon," however, gives to the statement a
direct contradiction, (which escaped our attention
until since our last publication Saying that the
whole story is without foundation"
II seemed, in truth, very improbable though, be-
ing confidently made, and much importance attach
ed to it, by paper politically connected with the
Administration, we felt bound to believe that there
was something in it.
The New Orleans Bulletin guards its readers in
the North from indulging " the hope" that the re-
cent revolution in California :" may lead to another
annexation larger than that of Texas against the
probability of which it states the following reasons
"'The last accounts from Mexico give no en-
enlargement to such anticipatons. California
I has given in its adhesion to the new order OF
: things since the overthrow OF SANTA ANNA, and
the presumption is that the movement in the pro-
vince was only auxiliary to the main revolution IN
the city of Mexico. The day has not yet come
: to move for annexation in that remote region.
+ There are not enough Of Americans yet settled on
2 the shores of the Pacific to sway an influence on
I. public opinion However, emigrants are coming
Z in rapidly from Oregon, and the vicinity OF that

the adjacent districts of California"
The emigrants TO Oregon, then, it appears, SO
far from finding an inducement to remain there In
the hope of the authority Of the United States being
extended over that territory, make all haste to es-
cape from it, though by doing so they place them
selves under foreign jurisdiction. In addition to
the other reasons which have for supposing that
the Oregon territory offers few temptations to
settlers who are able to find any other resting place

THE ELECTION IN MARYLAND.

The WHO'S OF MARYLAND are preparing for the
election next fall The six members of Congress to
be chosen gives importance the contest and recent
revelations make il doubtful whether the vote OF the
Maryland Representatives may not be necessary to
the tariff of 1912 from the assaults of its free
trade opponents. The Secretary of the Treasury
has recently addressed letter to the editor of a
Mississippi paper avowing his opinion that " the
tariff must be reduced His report to Congress
is to take that ground, whilst it is given out the
message of the President is to be after the manner
of the Van Buren, school, non-committal The
tariff question is not then, to be made Cabinet
one, and the Pennsylvania and other Locofoco men,
bers of Congress from tariff States are to be left
to vote as the interests of the party may seem to
require. Under these circumstances, il should be
recoected that the tariff of 1912 was only carried
by small majority, and the vote of the members
OF Maryland may now be essential to save it from
destruction.
The tariff, then, is the great question which is at
stake in our next elections, and the deep interest
the people of Maryland have in its maintenance
cannot fall it did at the election in s43, to break
down all party bounds, and rally in its support a
vast majority of the people. That we here in Bal
hmore will give good account Of ourselves, we feel
justified in pedging to our friends in the rest of the
State Let them but do their duty, and we shall have
in the next Congress, as we had in the last Con-
gress, six unwaverng friends of the tariff.
