- The Baltimore city police and electio
bills were received from the House in answt
to message offered by Mr.. McKaig.
t Mr. Yellott offered an order that the bill
D be returned to the House, as the Senate WEI
p incompetent to act upon them until they ha
:. passed the House.
Mr.. Goldsborough, of Talbot, objected
the passage Of the order as discourteous
| the House, and exhibiting want of dignit
on the part of the Senate. The bills were o
that character that demanded the instanta
neous action Of the Senate in behalf Of Balti
more city, When the proper time arrived
for the consideration of the bills, he was read,
to measure swords with the gentleman from
Baltimore city, unless there was want o
time, and then he would seal his mouth,
Mr.. Kimmell stated that he was ready tt
meet the ISSUE and he gave the gentleman
notice that the obstruction bills Of Bati-
more city would be warmly met. The
An orleans would carry the war into Africa.
The passage of those bills would make Il
slaughter house of Baltimore city
Mr.. Yellott moved to adjourn-lost by
yeas 8, nays ~.
The order of Mr.. Yellott will of course be
rejected
Mr.. McKaig presented petition against
increase of salary of clerk to commissioners
Of Allegany county
Mr.. McKaig then asked leave to introduce
the bills to amend the law relating to streets
pavemeEts and lamps in Baltimore city-the
same as the Hoas, bill.
Mr.. Yellott stated thet lie should oppose
the granting of the leave. The present sys-
tenn of cleaning streets was as efficient as it
could well be. He could not see in whose
hands it could be as well placed rs in its
present ones. The leave was Objectionable
on its face.
Mr. Kimmell said he should vote against
the leave.
Mr. Goldsborough asked call of the SEN
ate.
The absent Senators, Messrs Miles and
Townsend, having returned, Mr.. Yellott
spoke at length in opposition to the invasion
Of the chartered rights Of Baltimore city con-
templated by the leave asked for by Mr..
McKaig, and was speaking when the cars
left.
Petitions Presentcd.-By Mr.. Smith, from
q citizens of Maryland, for a law to fix
the rates Of transportation for products OF
this State over the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. BY Mr. Yellott, from VIM r. Thomp-
son and 5000 other citizens of Baltimore, re-
monstrating against the passage ofthe police
and election bills. Mr. kimmel desired the
reading of the signatures, which was proceed
ed with until the arrival of the hour for the
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Being the second reading of the bill to re-
peal the laws giving to the mayor Of Bal
timore, the judges Of the criminal and supo-
rior courts, the power to order out the mill
tia.
Mr.. Kimmell moved to strike out the en-
acting clausr.
Mr.. Yellott demanded the yeas and nays
Lost-ayes 8, noes ~.
Mr.. Kimmel made q lengthy and t!iscur-
sive speech in opposition to tue bill. He re-
lated dream he had the night previous, lu-
ring which he was again in the vatican at
Rome, when the Pope called him sad here
TIC &c. He then alluded to his travels in
Europe. The gold trinket that lie wore on
his watch chain signi6ed that he was Grand
Master of the Masonic Fraternity Of Mary
land. He supposed his political opponent,
Mr.. McKaig, would he ready with his Noun
tain Rangers from Alegany, to enforce the
Baltimore police bill. He charged Mr.. Me-
Kaig with being identified with Washington
interests and the Ohip canal more than with
Maryland interests. His remarks, however,
were only political, and he would not hold
himself personally responsible for them.
The president called Mr.. Kimmel to order,
on the ground that the political views of the
gentleman from Alegany had nothing to do
with tho motion to strike out the enacting
clause of the BILL
Mr.. McKaig suggested that lie never gave
the remarks Of the gentleman from Frederick
moments thought or consideration.
Mr.. Yellott proposed the following amend
ment:
provided, however. that the provisions Of
the second section shall not apply in case
there is urgent necessity for the immediate
aid Of the military for the suppression of ac-
tual Instruction or invasion, or actual and
forcible opposition to the laws, beyond the
control of the civil officers of the government
Upon which Mr.. Yellott made n lengthy
speech, in which he proceeded to review the
old Federal riots of Baltimore, occasioned by
improper and exciting articles in newspapers
This was when the population Of Baltimore
was less than 10000, and he had read articles
much more violent and calculated to excite
riots in Baltimore within the past few months
The suppression of these riots by the author
tiles of Baltimore was then detailed, with its
results. The incidents of the Bank of Mary
land riots were also detailed, from all of which
he concluded that like causes produced like
effects. The Aisquith street Convent riots
were also detailed to show how the prompt
interference of the mayor suppressed them.
These, he commended, showed that the mayor
Of the city should always have the power to
call out the military to suppress riots. He
did not desire to take the power from the ro
lice Board, but he desired that the mayor and
judges of courts should have the power in
case of sudden aud vital necessity, when de-
lay for the assembling and action Of the board
could not be admitted Of. The amendment
was lost.
Mr.. Goldsborough, of Dorchester, then Of
fered an amendment that the city of Balti-
more should not be held liable to make in
demnity for property destroyed in case of RI
OF, etc. Mr. Goldsborough spoke at length
upon his motion, in his maiden speech. He
charged the origin Of the disorders in Balti-
more city to the democratic party, &c.
Mr.. Kimmel also spoke upon the motion.
and as usual, pitched into Mr. McKaig rs the
leader Of the democratic party. He wanted
to know why Mr.. McKarg had not his Noun
tain Rangers at Harper's Ferry, to attack
old Ossawattomie Brown, &c. The bills be-
fore the Senate were being rushed through
with "locofoco motive velocity" &c. The
amendment was lost by party vote.
Mr.. Smith, of Carroll, then offered an a
mendment, that the bill before the Senate
should not go into operation until the bill es-
tablishing police commissioners shall have
been enacted. Upon this motion Mr.. Smith
made lengthy and eloquent speech, which
was attentively listened to by senators and
the large number OF ladies and gentlemen
throngng the floor and galleries. He oppos-
cd the bill, but concluded his remarks by no.
ping that the people of Baltimore would sub
nit quietly to its operation, and leave their
