qulre any executive interference at ALL If the two
Commissioners who are acting are incapable Of
doing SO lawfully, or if they do not act as the
statute requires, their acts must be void and can
pass away no title to the States property 1t is
impossible that they can damage the State if they
do not keep, in every particular, within the scope
of their lawful authority. Nobody could be in
jured by their making q sale which they had no
power to make-except perhaps the purchasers
and they, surely, may be trusted to take care of
themselves. AT all events the Constitution does
not authorize the Governor to fight their battles.
We nothelp thinking, indeed, from the guarded
and somewhat hesitating way in which his Excel
ency conlers the singular authority which his let
ter contains, that his better Judgment was holding
back, while his desire TO be amiabe and accom-
modating, was urging him unwittingly forward.
His friends, and the public at large, will regret
we are persuaded that he has allowed himself to
throw the nama and authority of the State and the
force of his position, into a controversy which
is obviously one of merely private concern and
purposes.
Much comment; and certainly not of very
favorable character, will certainly be pro
voked by the recollection of his Excclency's
| course, in a cognate matter, when the pressure,
unfortunately, was from the opposite direction.
When the Commissioners appointed by the law of
the last session to lease the present warehouses,
attempted to execute their duties, they were mott
fed that the inspectors and employees at the ware
houses would resist the law, by force if necessary
| and would not permit the lessees to enter Gov.
HICKS was informed of this by the Commissioners
who respectfully suggested their hope that he
would not permit his appointees thus openly and
violently to resist the legislative will. The Co
vernon, however, declined interfering, upon the
| ground that it was a matter with which he had
nothing to do, an which must be left TO the ordi-
nary course of law. We confess that, to our
Selves the gubernatorial philosophy appears pretty
much the same in both cases. Between interior
ing actively to prevent the execution of the law
in the one case, and sitting passively by while it
was being resisted in the other, there does not
seem to US any very great difference in principle.
Some people may perhaps think that if he was
bound to interfere in either case, it was in that,
| in which the officers whom he had appointed and
had the power to remove, were openly arraying
themselves against the law which both he and
they had sworn TO obey.

The Census RETURYs.-We learn from Washington
that the returns of the eighth coming in
rapidly, and are found to be generally we'll taken.
Notice has been given to the Marshals that COM
pensation will not be allowed for returns made after
the lst proximo. The returns ofmany ofthe States
are complete, also one of the districts of California;
and it is not improbable that the returns from the
Pacific States and Territories will be made before
the work in this State and New York is completed
Several weeks must elapse before the Superinten-
dent will be able definitely to determine the exact
number of inhabitants.
CoRREcTIoN.-By an error in transcFi5ing the let
ter of VIM II. Norris, Esq. the name of Charles H
Pitts, Esq, omitted from the list of those gen
tlemen who aided in preparing the Reform Laws.
This correction would have been made earlier,
but for the absence of Mr.. Norris from the city.

HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-bir. Booth ap-
peared on Saturday night With great success in the
character of SIR Edoord Mortimer in Colemaus
celebrated play, The Iron Chest. Tonight he will
perform the part of Bertuccio in Tom Taylor's
Drama entitled The Foo5's ReUeage, which will be
presented for the first time in this city, and with
excellent cast We regret to be compelled to add
that it will be the last appearance Of Mr.. Booth
and we trust that Baltimore play-goers win show
proper appreciation of his admirable acting by a
large attendance at the theatre the occasion.
An earnest request had been made to the manager
for repetition of Hamlet, and we understand that
the play would have been given on Wednesday
night, but owing to his ill.health and the slight
encouragement he has received here, Mr. Booth
cannot be induced to continue his engagement any
longer.
