Duxnnnary.

Our dispatches by telegraph last night were
not so interesting and important in their features
as usual. From Washington, we learn that Ma
jor Graham has been despatched as courier to
Mexico, to notify that government of the rati-
fcation of the treaty by the American Senate.
1t will be seen that the sabbath has been again
desecrated, in Baltimore, by brutal riots among
the firemen, in which several are said to have
been killed, and numbers seriously wounded.
We have the proceedings of the State legisla-
ture on Saturday, the Northern line having been
again put in working order.
From Augusta, Georgia, we have New Orleans
markets and ship news to the 9th inst, received
at that place by overland express, and which
was the only matter of interest worth sending
over the lines

BALTIMORE, Sunday evening, March IL.
There was an alarm of fire in this cily to-day,
which was the occasion of dreadful riot among
Watchmen joined against the New Market and
United, and from one to two thousand men were
engaged in the fight, which occurred at the cor

were fired Into the crowd, and stones, bricks,
clubs, etc., were used with the greatest violence.
A man named Anthony Hughes was shot dead
three others received balls in various places, and
a large number were seriously wounded, some
of whom, it is thought, will not recover. Seve-
A store was burned down at Fells' Point this
morning, subsequently to which another severe
riot occurred. Disorder is prevailing every
where; the alarms of fire are frequent, and the
threaten vengeance upon one another. So
stand matters at present.

In the first, fourth, sixth, and fourteenth wards
all expectation of a reconciliation in the party
is at an end, and two democratic tickets in each
of these wards will surely run. In several of
the other wards two tickets are now talked of;
but the chances are that the party will come to
the scratch on the morning of the election, with
but one ticket.
We shall give their Board Of Assistants in a
day or two.
The democrats have been for some time in
quite state of CONSERVATION relation to their
candidate for Mayor. John ]. Cisco, Eccles
Gillefdar, Robert Kelly, Frederick r. Lee,
Campbell p. White, and score of smaller poll
tcans about the ewes of the party, have been
talked of for the chief magistracy of this city of
half million; but objections sufficiently strong
to threaten defeat seem to present themselves
At last an echo has come forth, that William F
Havemeyer will, if strongly pressed, accept the
nomination. The chances, therefore, are, that
ex-mayor Haveme ;er will again be before the
people for this honorable Office
Moses c. Leonard is again candidate for re-
election to the Office of Aims House Commits

WHITE POPULATION. by the arrival Of the brig
Orbit, Captain Anderson, % days from Porto
''aoello, we are in possession of most exciting
Intelligence from this republic.
We learn that the white inhabitants of La
Guayra and Caracas are flying in all directions
from the vengeance of the black and colored
races, who have completely overawed these ci-
ties, and have assumed so menacing an attitude
towards the whites, to inspire them with
dread of being murdered if they remained.
The party of Monagas, the President and
Fourierite leader of the blacks, himself creole,
were going about the streets, in armed gangs,
and iinpressing all the mixed races or blacks
they could find. One colored carman was for
chilly dragged from his cart and carried of and
the impressment IS going on daily.
1t was rumored from the interior that the
whole of the country was on the eve of gene
raj revolution, and that the celebrated General
Paez was making great efforts to rally the
whites
The white population along the sea-coast were
trying to escape out of the country. Most OF
them were going to the Island of Curacao, and
taking passage in different United States vessels

THE LEGlsLATURE.-We are sincerely gratihed to
see that the members of the Legislature have return
ed to their duties. There can so far as we have vet
observed, be but few not arrived and they, if they
went to their homes, are probably detained by bad
roads.
1t may not be improper TO state. that the first two
weeks of Legislative bodies, particularly those meet
ing about Congress time, on the first of December
are generally spent in preparing business, enjoying
the holidays, or log-rolling We believe it has been
the fashion in this State under wing rule, to adjourn
regularly over the holidays. This has lately gone
cut of vogue, much the interest of the people, bu,
not so as 10 example. But this late temporary ad.
journment, caused by such terrible calamity, has
left different impressions on the minds of members
1t enough to cause seriousness to u certain ex-
TENT and we feel grated in being able to state, thai
the members have returned in good health, and with
apparent disposition to proceed with business such
only is strictly required by the interests of the
people, with despatch. We hope they will do so.
