and respectable citizens as managers of w. b
We had no idea then and yra 10 80 "A 49,

men were published in that connexion with their
previous knowledge or consent. In the case Of
some, we should be exceedingly 10th to believe that
any such consent would have been civen. We
presume that their names were placed upon the list
as Is frequently done, by the persons engaged in
getting up the Ball, without previous permission:
but, in the expectation of subsequent assent and
ratification 1t is barely possible even. that some
OF lne gentlemen upon the list, may to this day,
be IN ignorance of the use which has been made o
their names. 1t is possible, we say-but scarcely
probable. The advertisement has appeared
not once, but seven times, in a period
OF TWO weeks, and in paper which it is to be
presumed that most of them are in the habit of
seeing and reading. Ever since public attention
! was called to the fact, in the columns of THE FIX
CHANGE, it has been, to some extent a subject OF
remark in the community. Besdes-the office of q
Ball Manager is not ordinarily an empty or I'M
meaning distinction. 1t is but reasonable to sup-
pose, that the gentlemen who have received Sc
iiat'erlng and honorable testimonial of favor, al
the hands OF the "Club Convention" have been
expected TO show their appreciation of the honor,
by purchasing tickets or otherwise contributing to
the expenses of the Ball. At all events-with the
view OF dissipating any possible doubt which may
exist upon that point and of relieving some of our
fellow-ctizens, for whom we entertain sincere re-
spect, from any further ignorance on their part
as TO the public use which has been made of their
names, for the purpose of endorsing and cee-
brating as 'Brilliant Victory" what every
honest man knows to have been but shame and
dishonor, we publish the list of Managers entire.

We have hitherto RETAINED from any further
allusion to this subject than was contained in our
issue of the 30th ut., because we confidently ex-
pected that some of the gentlemen, whose names
appear in the foregoing list, so soon as they were
informed of the fact would Indignantly and pub
licly disavow the use that had been made of them
In this expectation, we have been disappointed
Not one word of protest or remonstrance has been
uttered by single individual of them ALL It
does not often happen that gentlemen show them
selves so utterly Indifferent upon a point which
touches nearly their personal honor and reputa-
ton. Within the past week, tpo citizens have
published cards in the papers, announcing their
withdrawal from an Association, of whose objects
and purposes both had signifed their entire and
hearty approval, by signing with their own hands,
the original pledge which constitutes the bond of
its organization, observation-disclosures the publication
of their names in connection Herewith, was as
they allege sunauthorized'' by them. The i'm
pulse which prompts such action is natural one
In the case of the "unauthorzed' use of an hon
est mans name for the purpose of sanction
ing that which is dshonest-the impulse, we
would imagine, would be an irresistible one
How happens it, then, that not one of the truly
respectable gentlemen, who are made to figure in
the company of others less respectable, and of
some who are not respectable at all-in the Ca
pacity of Managers of the Ball-has repu-
dated the connection? Either, as we have sug-
gested, they are in ignorance of the factor are
wholly Indifferent to the use that has been made
of their nameS-or else they actually approve and
endorse the monstrous fraud and outrage of the
18th of October, and are really willing to cele-
brate it as brilliant Victory" There can be
no other explanation of their conduct Now-of
the plea of ignorance we have this day disposed
After the present publication, in our columns, it
will cease to have any foundation in fact If
they are Indifferent upon the subject, or approve
in their hearts, and are willing TO sanction by
their acts, the crime of the 18th of October it is
but proper that the thousands of their abused,
insulted, outraged and disfranchised fellow-citi-
zens should know it. The list comprises, among
names Of lesser note, and some that are of but i'll
repute, those of the MAYOR of the City, a Senator
of the UNITED STATES, three Members of Congress
from this State, the SENATOR for Baltimore city,
the SECRETARY OF STATE of Maryland the STATES
ATTORNEY, the SHERIFF. the CLERKS of
three of the Courts, &c, &c. Do these
and the other official persons who are named
really and seriously propose to celebrate as
brilliant Victory"-the fruit of ruffian vi
oence and wholesale fraud-the stuffing of bal
lot-boxes and the disfranchisement of voters?
This is question which the People of Baltimore
have right to have answered. The use of these
gentlemen's names for the purpose has been pub
lie and notorious. Has it been with their per-
mission? Does it meet with their assent?
The ministers of religion have been lately taken
to task in this community, and by portion of
the public press, for uttering in public, on day
of ''fasting, humiliation and prayer" the petit
ton that, we doubt not, has assembled in private
from many devout and humble Christian heart,
during the past twelve months-for peace and
quietness. Their prayers have been compared to
'showlings," and their illusions to the crimes
and disorders that have been committed in our
city, have been characterized as but estate nfor-
nation to the Most High,-"at the present time.
Is the most sacred Office of Prayer, in its most ap
proprate place and season, to be thus made a
subject for ridicule and censure, and have men,
not even the most highy-paced among us--no
word of reproof for the drunken orgies of the
Clubs who have so lately triumphed over the
rights and liberties of a whole people, as they
daily trample under foot the laws?
| The remains of ROBERT NJ RIGDoN were yester-
day committed to the grave, and the fresh earth
has not settled upon them When we remember
by whom he was murdered-and why-and re-
fleet under whose auspices the Ball tonight
