Douglas will Elect Bell.
If the Bell men assist the Democrats
to carry Pennsylvania Or Indiana, then
Lincoln will be defeated, and Bell will
have good chance Of an election. The
Bell men expect their candidates to be
chosen in Congress, and their aim is to
take Northern States enough from Lin
coin to carry it there. 1t is unimpor-
tant to them who gets the States named,
if it is not Lincoln. The Times evi-

The Times is free to express the opin-

of nc greater calamity, in the natural

[ Correspondence Of The Cecil Wing

The week has been employed in taking the
innitiary steps Of large amount of local leg
isation, but very little of general interest has
transpired.
The Rumps are still at work on the Balti-
more bills, but have not, thus Ear, secured the
hearty cooperation of the Democrats of either
branch 1t has been intimated that several
Democratic Senators will not vote for the ULTRA
measures proposed by this self,apponted Com
mttee, because they see no practical end to be
gained. and no security that the evils com.
planned of will be remedied. 1t is now pretty
certain that the Baltimore delegation will
retain their seats until the close of the session.
Whether the dominant party in the House Of
Delegates will think it necessary to give wav
to the demand of the Rumps, and declare
them Illegally elected just as the session is
about to end, remains 20 be seen.
The question of the election Of the Comp
troller excitcs much interest and various
opinions are expressed as to the legal rights
of the parties. as well as the ultimate action
of the legislature. But Mr.. Purnell will con-
tinue to administer the duties of that office.
with that marked ability which has charac-
terizcd his two previous terms, for the next
two years, unless prevented by some providen-
tial interference. Mark the prophecy
The House. at the instance of Mr.. Miller,
have adopted the rule of tho Senate, which
prohibits legislation upon such private laws,
as are really proper subjects of judicial invcs-
legation. This relieves the legislature from a
large amount of business, such as making
vailed Deeds. &c. and sends the parties to the
courts. Mr. Wilson has leave to report
bill, to refund Joseph Wells an over payment
of money as Collector, and also one to increase
the pay Of the Clerk to the County Commits
Sioners.
The everlasting niger is Extensively prom-
nent here. The woolly head and disgusting
odor of Sambo are disagreeably present in the
House; the dignity and decorum of the Senate
are outraged by the protrusion of his thick
lips and stupid grin, from among the desks
and the caucus stinks with niger. What has
the Mary land Legislature to do with the Mig
ger! Why don't gentlemen attend to their
business and let Cuitee alone!

HE DIsUNIoN LocoFocos.-Th loco
focos at Annapolis are determined to
merit the name of disunionists, which we
applied to them last week, as will be seen
by the proceedings of the Senate, last
Tuesday. The resolutions of the notori-
GUS Freaner came up, and Mr.. Yellott
moved to add the following:
"Resolued, That the citizens of Maryan
cannot regard as true friend to- his country
any public man, of any section or party, who
advocates the dissolution of the American
Union, or secession Of any State or Sta ties
from this Union; and her representatives in
Congress would misrepresent the wishes OF
her people BY voting for any such man for
Speaker, or for any other Office
The Locofocos voted to lay this reso-
luton on the table. Keep this before
the people. Is there a Democrat who
doesn't feel ashamed of his party in the
Legislature They say by their votes
that they are in favor of man for Speak
er of the House of Representatives, who
proposes a dissolution of the Union
The leaders of the party in Maryland
have fairly taken their position on the
Union question, and have declared they
favor its dissolution. Is there no hemp
for such traitors?

THE MARYLAND PENIrENrlARY. BY the
Annual Report of the Maryland Penitentiary
for the past year, it appears that the institu-
ton is in debt some $ll 900. The building
is represented as unfit for prison, and by
far too small to accommodate the large, and
increasing number of convcts There are 422
convicts, of whom 404 are males, and Is
females; Ill prisoners were received during
the year, and lob discharged by the expira-
ton o: sentence, and pardoned. OF those
received during the year, % were white males.
5 white females, II colorcd males and 2 COL
ored females; Of these 100 were on the first
conviction, 6 on the second on the third, 2
on the fourth, and on the fifth. The nativ-
ity Of the convicts is natives of the United
States, 3O5; natives of foreign countries, III.
Of the whole number, 100 can read and write:
GO can only read, ia can do neither, and IL
received good education. 1856 were more or
less addicted to the use Of liquor, and 81 were
strictly temperate; 142 We're married, 257

were left orphans, 33l were not; l04 attended
Sunday Schools. and 22S did not. The Sab
bath School connected with the institution,
the Prisoners Relief Association, and the
Society of Friends are said to have had a
marked effect on the conduct of the prisoners.
