III The Baltimore papers Of this morning
publish the correspondence between Gov Ligon
and Mayor Swami relative to the adoption Of
measures for the maintenance Of the public peace
during the ensuing election. 20" ...r
Mayor Swami objects to any Interference Of the
Governor in the government Of the city, and says,
In conclusion: As Mayor of the city Of Baltimore
l hold my commission direct from the people
and am accountable to them for the manner in
which discharge my trust
The office which have been called upon to as
snme was conferred upoa me without solcita-
ton, and will be laid down whenever il shall he
made to appear that have lost the confidence OF
those whom 1t has been my highest endeavor to
serve.
lean recognise subordination to no other power
within the sphere Of my duty. deem il due to
courtesy to afford your encelency the amplest in
formation in regard to matter to which you refer
in your letter, and now invite from YOU any reli-
able evidence upon which can legally act Of a
combination on the part Of any of our citizens to
obstruct the laws at the coming election; but
! while am thus frank in foreshadowing nv
plans for the preservation of the public peace
and protection of voter by every means at my
command, l must be equally so In declining to
recognise any joint administration Of affairs for
this city.
The powers of the mayor are believed to be
ample He has his resort, in case Of emergency,
to the civil posse as well as to the military arm
which, like the former, is placed by law under
his control. 1t will be his duty to use the best
endeavors to see that every citizen is protected IN
CoHStltutiOHdi tndt peace OF the
city IS to be preserved by means at his disposal
If, however, it should be attempted to Introduce
power in the city of Baltimore above that of its
regular constituted authorities or if power should
be assumed in anticipation of state of things
which may not occur to bring the military in
contact with the people on the day Of election
without an official requisition on the part Of the
local authorities, can only express the sincere
belief that such policy mig hit seriously endan-
ger the peace Of the city, and lead consequences
which IL should be the duty Of all good citizens,
to endeavor, IL possible, to avert
To this Gov. Ligon makes a vigorous reply
and expressing his regret that they should he

ring to citizens their legal rights, and that he
(Swannl had assumed the fearful responsibility
Of declining to recognize any joint administration
OF the affairs Of that city, adds:

severely censure this false independency as not
consistent with relative Official positions. or
consonaDt with that spirit of union which should
unite all good men against the bad and lawess
But however this may be, announce to You res

esting essay upon the political questions of the
times that has seen the light perhaps for years
brilliant, learned, piquant, argumentative,
critical, and as sharp, where designed to cut, as
one Of RoJgers's best razors newly set. While
written with elegance that would grace first

as much as ours may possibly affect her. When
ever the problem to which we here refer may be
solved to the comprehension of all, we believe
American commercial public opinion will settle

MesSrS Editors We notice in the Spy of the

from "a Member of the Worcester South Ag-
ricultural Society, in which the re election of
Aaron Lyon to the ofFice of Recording Secretary
is claimed as "a good reply to to the " articles
which have appeared in the public prints, charg-
ing great dereliction of duty" upon the said
Lyon. Now, as members of the Agricultural So.
cety, we have no particular objections to the
Secretary publishing this self-glorifcation, upon
his reelection to office, the proper duties of
which he seems to be either indisposed OF inca
pable of performing. We can easily understand
that it is but a characteristic exhibition of his
egotism. But we have some interest in the cor
rection Of the gross fabrication in which "a

impression that the Secretary received four hun.

of which were in opposition to Mr.. Lyon, and
that all the other officers were unanimously re-
elected.

ty who are acquainted with the official miscon-
duct of the Secretary, to say that no general at

pondence) The President expresses much
annoyance at the announcement of the arrival
Of tho sloop- Of war Saratoga, which was sup
posed to be guarding the San Juan River
against the fhbusters. If it proves that she
has returned by order of Com. Paulding,
commanding the Home squadron, the Com
modore will be called upon for an explana-
ton.
There is now no U. S, vessel at San Juan,
and if Walkers expedition lands there, the
public will naturally believe that the Saratoga
was withdrawn by pre-, arrangement The
steamer Susquehanna is expected daily at

coed Immediately to San Juan. 1t is said the
District Attorney at New Orleans agreed to
Walkers release on light bail, by arrange

OBIrUARY James G. Birpey died at
Perth Amboy on Wednesday last, at the age
of 65 years. He had been suffering from par.
aIysis for twelve years past, which has recent.
ly been complicated with heart diseasa Mr.
Birney was born in Danville, KY. He grad
uated at Nassau Hail. New Jersey. and stud
led law with Mr.. Dallas at Philadelphia. At
the age of % he became planter in Alaba-
ma, but he shortly after entered upon the
practice of his profession in Kentucky. EARLY
in life Mr.sBirney became interested in the
anti. slavery movement, and not only freed his
own slaves, but induced his father to make
such disposition of his estate as to leave him
his twenty. one slaves, when he set them free
at once. In 1884 he attempted to start an
anti-slayery newspaper in Kentucky, but
finding it impossible to procure printers there,
commenced its publication in Ohio, where it
excited the most violent hostility. In 1874,
when living in Michigan, he became the
Liberty Party candidate for the Presidency.
Since that time he has rarely been heard of in
public. Mr.. Birney had been twice married,
his second wife being sister, in law of Hon.
Gerrit Smith.
