lamation. The letter is defiant and offensive in the
last degree and we constrained TO believe that
IL was written not to aay excitement or to enlist the
sympathes of his political associates and followers
on the side Of law or order but TO keep alive and in
6ercer force that spirit of bigotry and intolerance
which has made Baltimore what it now is. The
mayor is of opinion that he has the power and the
means to keep the public peace. No one doubts his
ability IN this matter. 1t is his want of Inclination,
his apparent determination to shield and uphold the
fighting gangs of his party that have alarmed the
orderly citizens of Baltimore, excited the indignation
of the whole country, and have properly called forth
the present action the part Of the governor of the
State.

Democratic majority on joint ballot


In the last legislature of Ohio the blackrepobli-
cans had majority of sirtyowr on joint ballot The
organs of that party tsays the Enquirer) have just
discovered that the Legislature is of consequence,
and profess not to be sorry that the democrats have
carried it, although it is the sole lawinakng power
of the State. 1t is strange if such their desire,
that they went to the trouble of nominating members
in all the Counties making the most desperate efforts
to elect them, and that it not until they were
beaten that like the fox they discovered the grapes
were sour. In truth the Legislature more i'm
porant than ythng else, since it is the aim of all
party organizations and their only amto give their
ideas of political policy the form of statutes. The
democrats will have the power to do this in Ohio
to purify her laws of every faint Of blackrepubcan
ism. Surely this is great triumph.

The London Star of October says that the antici-

Within the last few weeks, however the rot has

toes although looking very well when first taken out of
the ground in twenty four hours unfit for In
fortunately this sudden manifestation of the disease not

will practically put this valuable esculent beyond their

In the London Mark Lane Express of the issue of
