THE END of the Maryland Legislature,
From the Baltimore American, September IS.
Tuesday was day of unusual excitement in the
city Of Frederick and will long be one to be re-
membered even in the present stirring and peril
Gus times.
| The morning train of cars on Thursday from
Baltimore brought u number of the members OF
the legislature with the clerks and officers Of both
Houses, the former mostly intent on having no
session. and the latter duly thoughtful OF their per
diem, DESTROYS of setting the machine going, and
strongly arguing that if there was no quorum
there must necessarily be continued session until
quorum should arrive, even if it should be until
| the night they, shonld be superseded by the cleo
ton of new delegates in November.
The hour of one O'Clock having arrived, there
were but three Senators in the city-Messrs. Brad
ley Nuttle and Kimmel-all of the Union side of
the House, each aud all determined that there
should be no session of the Legislature il they
could prevent it. They accordingly refused TO
enter the Senate Chamber, and met for eonsuta
ton at the reading room opposite to the Hall IN
which the Legislature meets. Ihey had previously
notified Mr.. Kilgour, the Clerk Of the Senate, that
it was not their intention to assemble, but that
they would notify him in a halt hour as to their
joint determination. At the expiration Ct this time
notice was conveyed to the Clerk that there Wonld
be no meeting of the Senate, when they were in
formed that he had called the roll in the empty
chamber, and gone through the formality of an
nouncing that g there being no quorum present,
the Senate stands adjourned until l O'Clock on
Wednesday, e. =. ,. ~ -=..
The Union members of the House of Delegates
had also come TO similar determination to do all
in their power to prevent the meeting OF that
body, but the Secession members VINO were In the
city moving toward the hall, they went also, and
at 10 O'Clock, Thos. H. Moore the Reading Clerk,
went through the Formally Of calling the House
to order, and proceeded to cali the roll. The
members present were Messrs. Salmon, Messler,
Gordon, Maceubbin, Jones of Talbot, sraughn,
Durant McTntire, Long, -keene and Mills; being
seven of the Opposition to four Union members.
Messrs. Nail and Fiery were in the city, but de-
elined to go to the hall. There were but four re-
sponses, and Mr.. Long Immediately moved that the
House adjourn until noon on Wednesday. Vi .
The refusal of the Senate to convene, it was ar
gued, had virtually annulled any legal assemblage
of the Legislature, though the clerks declared their
intention to continue to call the roll daily until
quorum to adjourn the body. 1881 .-rs

minutes after the Formally Of opening the Legsla-

a TEE PEOPLE AND TEE hiEaBERS.--The preventing
of the session of the Legislature gives very general
satisfaction to the people, whatever may be their
opinion on national topics none are desirpus of
holding bait there for the invitation of military
invasion, like that Of Missouri and Kentucky. III
Yesterday morning the Union members, at an
informal gathering, had resolved to leave at once
for their homes, and thus ended the third meeting
of the special session of the Legislature, the only
member lett in Frederick last evening being the
farmer of, lIinganote, Gen, Kimmel. 50 4

their power TO prevent any meeting of their Tespec
tive hodies and they should meet to dissolve as
soon as possible, They were wholly unaware of
the intention or purposes of the Government, and
stood prepared to act in any way that the national
safety might require, satisfied that they had no
power to work out any good for the State but pre-
pared to do all in their power to prevent the per-
petratiou of any more legislative evils. ~ 4
