very great degree of sympathy and anxie-

Al the recent. eIrcrion. in obedience to
the orders of Gen. e,cagAcK, al oath was
tendcscd to voters by hi. officers, ~ test
or coLdi.iou of suffrage 1t is confessed
that nelther the Federal nor State laws
authorized such proceeding; and the
Governor "f the State. indeed. had issued
his proclamation. Indignantly repudiasing
the validity OF such orders. and calling
upon the civil authorities tn protect th.
voters ag.;s.t their imposition. In the
face Of ,lis Executive pr"tert, tsov PKArr
"dered to .o:e--ani the oath bsing re-
CURED o: ki.n. refused 10 lake il. His re-
Ia>al was based. as We learn. simply upon
the WANT OF authority. on tns pari Of the
military, ID rcqa.r- it Of him. For shi.
refusal he was arrested tor the new crime
OF suspected disl"ya.ty." and. upon hi.
continued refusal. he is sen: across our lius .
The eminent position of the citizen who

If. without crine-sithoas legal process -
wi!hoat violation Of law-nsy. for q mere
refusal to submit to an illegal proceeding
citizen of such position and influence may
be 50 treated. it is sarcly high time that il
should be settled whether there is any Law

wish that this case may be made at ono.
the basis of a strong appeal. BY the people
Of MARYLAND. 10 the FEDERAL and a'ate al.
thorities. II sccm> to us in vi-w Of his

strongest and most energesic demands fur
