W
tie to add of actual particulars respecting the late sig
nifcant liots "a! Washing ton during the municipal
election on Monday last 1t is by no means pleas.
ing fact that our city should be implicated in such
proceedings. Satisfied that the mass of our citizens
regard the fact with abhorrence we are equally con.
WINGED that und whatsoever favor the netarious
design was matured and put into activity, there
were no respectable persons identified with it. We
are quite sure there is not man in Baltimore who
will admit that he was of any party who went down

themselves would or could have incurred the expense
attendant on the journey? 1t is obvious that, what

The tone of our city press has been very generally
uniform in its denunclation of the parties to whom
this shameful rot is doubt justly attributed Inc
