How The Elections are Controlled.

Arrest of Candidates in Baltimore County,
Shortly after the opening Of the polls this morn
ing in Baltimore county, Messrs. Geo. ii. Car
man, r. Edwin Hook and Richard Grason, in
dependent candidates for the offices of Clerk Of
the Cicuit Court Sheriff and States Attorney,
were arrested by order of the military authori-
ties. They were brought to this city and taken
to the Provost Marshals office, where they were
detained until about four o'clock yesterday after.
noon, when they were Internationally released.
The charges preferred against them were not
made public.
The above paragraph is taken from the Bal
tmors San of last Thursday. 1t shows how the
military despotism established in Maryland dur
ing the last two years, manages to control elec-
tions in that State. The same force, precisely,
has been employed by the Administration to pre-
vent a free expression of the popular will in
other places. 1t was in view Of this interfer-
ence of military power in the elections that the
New York Tribune, in its edition of the Goth
of September last, said
eff the President elect is to take and keer
his office by virtue of the bayonct, voting soon
becomes dreary absurdity for, if the bayonet
is ultimately to choose the President, the pre-
liminary ballot might as well be dispensed with

Who Should Pray.

First of all, let Abraham Lincoln pray
pray that his ''marble heart" may be softened-
that the bitter curse inflicted by wicked rulers
may be removed-that ''the voice of Rachel
for her children crying" may no longer disturb
the startled air-that bloody war may cease.
and that the angel of peace may once more
spread its white wings over a sorrowing land
bending beneath the heavy blow of national
Affections! Let those around and near him pray
pray that their counsels may be free from
partisan venom and malignant spite-that their
actions may be governed by an honest zeal for
the welfare of their PROSTATE country-that all
fraud and corruption may be banished from
their midst, and that they may be spared the

The Baltimore transcript of Saturday says:
s'In several, if not all of the counties, armed
soldiers were stationed around the polls, aud
some scenes of violence are reported to have
occurred in consequence, resulting in the intim'
idaton of many voters.
CAT upper Marlboro, an order from Gener-
al Schenck was received by the Provost Mar
shal, Shelby Clark, Esq, forbidding the inter-
ference of the military power unless the right
of citizen to vote should be challenged upon
the ground of disloyalty, in which case the
oath of allegiance was required to be admins
tered. Notwithstanding this order, however,
Colonel Baker, of Washington, made his ap-
pearance at the head of an armed force shortly
after the balloting had commenced, and informed
the Judges that he was authorized from WASH
ington to instruct them that the oath OF allegi-
ance must be required of every one attempting
to vote. Against these instructions MIR. Clark
offered written protest, asserting the supreme
cy of Gen. Schenck's command under which he
acted, over that of Gen. Augur, commanding
the defences at Washington, under whose au-
thority Col. Baker claimed to act.
''The latter, however, insisted upon the en-
forcement of his Instructions, and the voting
was proceeded with, the oath being administered
to all who presented themselves at the polls
CAT Nottingham, in the same county, de-
tachment of Col Bakers command presented
themselves with instructions similar to those
read to the judges at Upper Marlboro" but
were peremptorily ordered off by a lieutenant
of Capt Watkins company, who was in atten-
dance at the polls with squad of men.
''Ihe polls at Port Tobacco, Charles county,
were similarly guarded by military, and as a
consequence, the Times states, but 931, of the
1900 legal voters of the county, exercised the
right of franchise"
The Frederick Union, commenting upon the
election in that city, says:
s'Under all circumstances the thing called
election was perfect farce at the Frederick polls,
and if the result is determined by the vote here,
Gov. Bradford will most undoubtedly feel it his
solemn duty to withhold commissions from those
who may seem to be elected. Is there a high
minded, honorable gentleman in Frederick coun-
ty, having knowledge of the outrageous pro-
ceedings at the polls in this city on Wednesday
last, who would stoop so low as to accept office
upon such terms? We trust not

And ,c1ereas, The character, life and virtues

Bedford Cemetery.

Apublic burial ground in this vicinity, appears
at last to be reality. 1t has been long in con-
plation-long looked for--long wished for
and long badly wanted Like the Railroad, if
the citizens could have just gotten somebody
else to make it, and then to give them the first
choice lots, and to charge them only about Pot
ters-feld prices, they would have availed them
selves of the advantages and consented that it
might go on. But the land has been purchased
and the deed delivered, and from what is known
of the enterprise and practical go-aheadative-
ness of the board of managers, we have no doubt
of the Cemetery being made permanent inst-
tuition in our midst **"
