The APPROACHING ELECTION IL BALTIMORE.
The question has arisen whether the Democrats
OF Baltimore should or should not essay to avail
themselves of their nominal rights as citizens of
Maryland in the approaching election for State
officers and members of Congress. 1t strikes us
that unless satisfied beforehand that they will
be protected in the exercise Of the right of suf-
frage, to essay to vote on that occasion will be
simply to emperil their lives to no good end. 1t
is clear to nearly all outside the limits of that
corporation that its authOrities-of course in
Guiding the police-aro leagued with the gangs
who consider the attempt Of Democrat to ex
ercise the right Of suffrage there crime worthy
of the death penalty, and who act with impu-
nifty on that axiom. 1t is also very certain that
with the authorities in so close alliance with the
Blood-Tubs," Plug Ugles, Killers" &c.
the hope that without drenching the city's
thoroughfares in blood in defence of their rights
of citizenship, there can be no hope of Demo
cratic triumph in Baltimore on this occasion
Under such circumstances we feel it to be our
duty to advise the Democrats Of that city not to
risk their lives in essaying to avail themselves
of their political rights.

PRoDUCrs OF CALIPoRSIA-We hear this
morning that IL. ID. Barrows, Esq, of Los An

and for himself and Mr.. VIM. WOlfskill. and
Don Manuel Requena, (Mr w. having resided
there since 1881 and Don NJ. r. being a native.
presented Mr. Buchanan with various speci-

They consist of barrel Of fine old California

Among the fruits presented on this occasion,
were California oranges, sweet lemons. citrons,
almonds. English walnuts, and very luscious
grapes, all n finely favored az the finest Italy

THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAvons-Tho New
York Eremin Post regards the result of the
recent election in Ohio as {. gratifying one in
every point of view and considers the triumph
of Governor Chase in this case as the most
complete victory the Governor ever achieved {"
Well, there is as little accounting for the
impressions of politicians at times rs for the
taste of the ladies-that's certain-if the Post
has not gone completely daft
Chase. if elected, is elected by less than a
thousand majority; and the majority of the
real national American party men of the State
have quietly and very sensibly struck their
colors and ranged themselves under the flag of
the Democratic OrganizatiOn-which as this
election demonstrates. is within q handful of
votes as strong as the Republican party in Ohio
Chase is smOoth-tOngued man with no prin-
ciples that fail to centre in self A gentleman
IN bis manners, tastes, and personal associI-
tons, he IL. nevertheless, as arch a demagogue
and as reckless Of consequences to his country
So he subservcs his own interest. as any pot
house politician living. We know the man
thoroughly. having had him in our eye from
the time he kept n school in this city to this
hour. We know that what he failed to do to-
wards erowning his party with a substantial
victory in the recent Ohio election, could be
accomplished by no other Republican politi-
clan
Our view of the result Of this election, how
ever, is precisely Oppos te to that of the Evsn-
fng Post. At the last election, the Republi-
cans bad a plurality of full sixteen thousand
in Ohio. Their falling Of in this election to
less than one thousand plurality tells that their
substantial control of the State has departed
We do not regret having been beaten in this
contest, because experience tells us that our
friends will carry the State two years hence;
which will leave US to enter the next presiden-
tial canvass with the prestige of the entire re-
generation Of Ohio incident to such victory,
which will be worth more than we can now ex-
plain, to the Democratic cause in l86O-to which
period we are already looking forward

A NOTEWORTHY EyENT.-The first mail on
the overland route between the Mississippi and,
the Pacific coast, under the contract of the
Post Office Department with James E. Birch,
arrived at San Diego, Cal, on the 2lst of Au-
gust, after journey of only thirty-four days.
1t is remarkable, from the fact that the journey
was made from San Antonio in about half tho
usual time required to cross the backbone of
the continent over any other route, and without
the previous placement of relays of animals
along the route. which will in due time be sta
toned there to facilitate the enterprise. The
entire success of this trip vindicates, eminently.
the wisdom of the irmness of the President and
Postmaster General in resisting the sectional
appeals against that particular route, when
making the selection.
In twelve months from this time those at the
North whose business affairs connect them with
California, willwonder how any other than this
Texas route could have been dreamed of, SO
glaring will its advantages over all others trav-
eled between the Mississippi and Pacific have
become, in that time.

WITNESSES BEFORE THE NAVAL CoURrs-
There being no power in law to compel the at
tendance Of witnesses in the cases being tried
by these courts, itfrequently happens that their
proceedings are grievously delayed by their
failure to attend promptly. That is, Of those
summoned from distant parts. All the delays
in the proceedings Of these courts have arisen
from the failure Of witnesses to be present when
expected.
We know Of nothing that can possibly cure
this evil but change in the disposition of tho
delinquent witnesses themselves. That is those
Of them not amenable to the orders of the Navy
Department; for We take it for granted that the
Secretary of the Navy will carefully note cases
wherein naval witnesses summoned to attend
either Of these courts have failed on any ground
whatever, to be present on the day and at the
hour specified.
