Politics in MARYLAND.

Lug wings udVc ioL CHdHCc vi IT,
gaining their former ascentlency in Mary
land At the approaching election, owing
to the terrible fuds which q short season
of success has engendered in the Demo
cratic party there. In Baltimore, noui
kouines (political) carried the caucuses
for Congress and local officers. Where
upon, the wing Of the party who being
in the ascendent) have heretofore stickled
most vehemently for regular nominations,
are doing their best to bring about Wa
terloo defeat of those who have usurped
their places through the operation of the
new system of selecting nominating
caucuses. This is the New York system.
That is: opening polls for primary cleo
ton. In New York, however, the system
has already degenerated into worse one
than it was designed to remedy. Boot
heels and brickbats are nearly always re-
sorted to, to keep from the primary-elec-
ton polls quiet and respectable citizens !;
and when the bullies and rowdy rufians
hired at 50 much head to " carry the
ticket" on such occasions, find that even
with such appliances they are about to be
out-voted, they resort to the practice of
carrying off and breaking up or stripping
the ballot-bo1es. These remarks are as
applicable to the manner in which nomi-
nations are sought to be obtained by one
party, as by the other, in New York.
The introduction of the old stump system
of the South is the only cure for these
evils. u.s.. zt.. as .t .e l;s. .ts -.
In Baltimore, the primary-election sys-
tenn being in its infancy, has not yet be-
come corrupt; though, Judging by the
ordinations and recriminations passing
in the newspapers between the two wings,
there can be. little doubt that they are
destined to become quite as corrupt there
in i've years, rs in any other large city. -
In the counties Of Maryland there is a
severe struggle in progress bstween the
respective friends of Mitchell, Southron
Key, Col. George W. Hughes, and others,
candidates for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, in which they have got to bandying
epithets and making all sorts of gross
charges against the favorite of the oppos-
ing cliques. The spoils of the National
Administration having been nearly all
distributed, there can be little hope that
they will carry the State in the fall. So
much for the effects Of a single victory!
Poor fellows, it appears to take but slight
success to turn their heads.
On the other hand, the late defeat Of
the Wings there has apparently entirely
reunited them, nerving them for the ap-
preaching contest, and impressing upon
their minds the better policy of unity Of
action and the sacrifice of individual am
bition for their common cause. Under
such circumstances, the Democracy at
distance may rest assured that there is
little hope that their Maryland brethren
will improve their late opportunities.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE CENTRE MARKET.
Much impotence is being manifested con-
corning the progress of the scheme for
the reconstruction of the Centre Market
House, which appears to lag, if public
opinion is correct. No other improve
ment is so much wanted in Washington
just now, the accommodations both for
buyers and sellers in that, our only ex.
tensive market house, being poorer than
those afforded in the main market house
of any other city of the size Of Washing
ton in the United States, we fancy. The
city has willed the proposed improvement
with more unanimity than we ever be-
fore saw manifested upon question upon
which it was possible to divide. We
therefore say to the Councils-Gentle-
men, do push this matter with as little
delay as possible.

A terrible accident occurred on Mon. day evening of laIt week at the crossing of the Michigan Central Railroad and the Southern Road. eight miles f,om Chicago by the collision of the emigrant train on the former with the express train of the latter Road.

 The Chicago papers contain heart- tending details of the accident, and are loud in their denunciaiions of all con. nected with the managem snt of the roads:

rho LcglsIature,

The Legislature of this State meets at Hartford to day (wedneSd"y,) and the election of Speaker will receive the first attention of the House. The managers of the Democracy seem to have fixed upon Wm. w. Eaton. of Hartford, to i'll the office. and though the names Of many other of the faithful have been brought up by their respective friends. Mr. Eaton will probably be chosen. As the Legislature is strongly Democratic. we suppose they will do as seemFth to them best, but remembering that he who has lead them to victory will not be pres- ent ia future to lend his assistance. may their deliberations be marked with that wisdom which should characterize the farewell session of democratic legisla- ture.

There was some talk of breaking off the two leases o' the Hudson and Berkshire, and Stock bridge and Pittsfeld roads. but nothing was done about it. The revival ol the Iron interest in Salisbury and Canaan will help the road much.
