BALTIMORE, February PA spicy CORES
poBdence has taken place between Governor
Hicks and Marshal Kane, relative TO the dec
larations made by the former. that Annapolis
/ will be invaded BY Baltimore rowdies, and the
/ governor and State authorities be driven from
that city. Marshal Kane demands the author
itY, and Governor Hicks refuses to give It.
Marshal Kane is Of the opinion that, not
| withstanding the excellent police arrange
ments here, Mr.. Lincoln would have been in
suited, and thinks it well that be went through
as he did.
The peace conference had long and earnest
session Yesterday.
The Kansas delegate was admitted.
The proposition Of Mr.. Chase Of Ohio, tsle-
sraPhed yesterday, was up, but was not voted
on.
Mr.. Wilmot Of Pennsylvania has offered a
provision that Congress shall provide BY law
that the United States shall make full compen-
sation to the citizens Of any State, vino, in
any other State, shall suffer by reason Of the
violence Of a mob, in his person or property.
Mr.. Tuck, Of New Hampshire, has offered a
proposition for calling a national convention.
Mr.. Johnson, Of Missouri, has offered a
! proposition against the coercion Of any State.
Mr.. Hitchcock, Of Ohio, has offered a prop
osition amending the sections of the COnsita-
ton relating to the rendition Of fugitive slaves,
but nothing definite was accomplished yester-
day.
IL is anticipated that either the Chase prop
ositi0n will be agreed en-, or that the modified
Guthrie plan, or The proposition for 4 national
convention, will be adopted By tomorrow and
submitted to Congress.
Mr.. Sherman, in the House Yesterday, stated
that this week, probably, they would have the
conference propositions before them.
Congress yesterday was earnestly at work
on appropriation bills and the tariff, and made
good headway on both. In the Senate tbe civil
appropriation bill passed. Tomorrow Mr..
Stanton will call up his force bill, and move
the previous question. A test vote shows that
it can pass with a large majority.
The United States District Court has decided
that the stolen Indian bonds are negotiable,
good bonds, in the hands Of innocent holders.
1his disposes Of one great anxiety. Floyd's
are acceptances not likely to he favored by the
court. About S27S, 900 Of them are in the s..
Louis banks; so much dead paper.
There was a large number Of bidders for

platform erected over steps Of the eastern
poTticO of the Capitol, from the front Of which
the inaugural address will be read prior to the

by Mr.. Seward, while others say that there is
no doubt that Chase will go into the Cabinet,
but 1t is Of course, quite impossible for any
definite information to be given on that point.
Several Senators have signed a protest
against Cameron.
Since Bending my previous dispatcn, I learn
on aethority perfectly reliable, that Mr. Lin
coin has taken a firm stand-that be is not
disposed to compounds at all before his inau-
g%uration, if indeed he does after. In order to
retain the border States he may take a posi-
ton that viii enable him to accept what is
known as the border State propositions.
A messenger arrived from Charleston this
morning and informed President Buchanan
that Jefferson Davis had arrived in that city
on Friday night to superintend arrangements
for an attack on Fort sumter. The President
and Secretary Holt visited Browa's hotel, and
remained an hour in conferences with this gen.
tleman. Nothing is known Of the result.
Fron the Cincinnati Enquirer
wAsHISGroN, February PA telegram to-
day announcing the arrival Of President JEFF
fsrson Davis at Charleston startled Buchanan,
but John Tyler SAYS the mission Of Davis is
10 prevent a possible attackupon Fort Sumter.
Alhopinions and southern authorities here
converge in the idea that Lineoln's inaugural
viii be pacific, and that DO coercion will be
attempted il the forts are not attacked, nor
will other Southern States secede. If other
wise, Chat Is, If there should be eoercion)
both events will be Immediately precipitated
The peace conference last night adopted a
Substitute for Gutbrie's proposition, by a large
majority, providing substantially that emil
grants with slaves shall rot be excluded from
the Territory, and that the Status of slaves
shall be determined By the Federal courts
according to the common law, and not accord
ing 70 ihe Jaw Of States whence they came.
This leaves a loOp-hols for ansi-slsvsry deeis-
ions Of the Federal courts where there are Re-
publican judges. But this vote is not final, as
Republican States voted for il 20 kill Guthrie's
proposition. Five Southern States voted
against the proposition passed
