The Conflict Betweea the Military mad
Civil Authorities ia Maryland.
! WASHINGTON, November a.
The conflict between the military and civil
authorities in Maryland excites much com
rnent The last reply of the President covers
the principal points i'll the correspondence. 1t
is dated at the War Department, and directed
to Gov. Bradford:
/ 'SIR: Yours Of the 31st ult. was received
yesterday noon, and since then | have been
giving most earnest attention to the subject
matter. At my call, Gen. Schenck has attend
| ed, and assures me that it is almost certain
that violence will be used at some of the vot-
ing places of election to-day, unless prevent
ed by his Provost Guards. He says that at
some Of these places Union voters will not at
tend at all or run ticket unless they have
some assurance Of protection.
''The remaining point of your letter is a
protest against any person offering vote be-
ing put to any test not found in the laws of
Maryland. This brings us to the difference
between Missouri and Maryland, with the
same reason in both States. Missouri has by
laws provided a test for voters with reference
to the present rebellion, while Maryland has
not. For example, Gen Trimble, captured
fighting US at Gettysburg, is, without recant-
| ing his treason, legal voter by the laws of
Maryland. Even General Schenck s order ad-
mits him to vote if he recants upon OATH |
think that is cheap enough. My order in Mis-
souri,, which you approve, and General Schencks
order here, reach precisely the same end
Each assures right voting to all loyal men;
and, as to whether man is loyal, each allows
man to fix his own oath.
''Your suggestion, that nearly all candi-
dates are loyal, do not think quite meets the
case i'll this struggle for the nation but can
not so confidently rely on those whose cleo
ton may have depended upon disloyal votes.
Such men, when elected, may prove true but
such votes are given them with the expecta-
ton that they will prove false. Nor do
think that to keep the peace at the polls, and
to prevent presistently disloyal persons from
voting, constitute just case of offense to
Maryland. | think she has her own example
for it. If | mistake not it is precisely what
Dix did Wien your EXcellency was elected
Governor
II revoke the first of the three propositions
in Gen. Schenks order No. So, not that it is
wrong in principle, but because the provision
is liable to abuse. For the revoked part sub
stitute the following:
''rhat all Provost Marshals and other mill
tary officers do prevent all disturbance and
violence at or near the polls, whether offered
by such persons as above described, or by any
pei son or persons whatever
'The other two propositions of the order /
allow to stand. Gen. Schenck is fully deter
mined, and has my strict order besides. that
all loyal men may vote, and vote for whom
they please.
''Your obedient servant
''ALINCOLN.
president of the United States"
Gen. Schcnck subsequently issued an order
modified in accordance with the suggestions
thrown out in the letter by Mr.. Lincoln.

The Washington correspondent OF the Led6- |
En- writes at is understood here that the Or
ders to General Gilmore and Dahlgren are to
continue the bombardment until not YES
tige of it remains, and, with the artillery now
employed against the fort, its total destruction
is believed to be certain"
Hqy- The Democratic politicians have been
the Government for resortlng 10
the CONSUMPTION, instead OF relying upon the
patriotism of the people to fill up the ranks
bv voluntary enlistment. Now that the Pres |
ident has adopted their suggestion, we trust |
that the Democratic politicians and newspa |
pers will help the Government in raising its
additional volunteers, instead of helping Lee, |
Bragg and the rest Of the rebel Generals by
keeping back reinforcelnents from our armies.
There has never been better opportunity
than now for our Democratic friends to prove
their patriotism.
