The vote polled IN that city in 1850
VAS 3O.lIG, the vote at the State election
on Wednesday last, was 1910 los.
of 1876 votes.
The reader would naturally fuppose
that the iuiquilous policy adopted by oui
masters Vt Washington for the Northern
States, at our late elections, would also he
applied to Baltimore, by filing the city
with soldiers for the purpose Of voting
but this was found TO bo impossible, a,
elections were held in New York, New
Jersey, and other States on Tuesday last
This took all the soldiers that could he
spared from the army Of tho Potomac,
and they could not return to Maryland
in time to vote on "Wednesday, hence
the policy of the Administration was
changed So tar as Baltimore was concern
ed. The soldiers there were used 10y the
order of that notorious Jacobln, Gen.
Schenck, TO prevent the citizens from
voting at all. The Administration has
now established double policy for carry
! ing elections through q military neces-
sity.p They send soldiers into The north
cru States to vote direct, while in the
border States Maryland, Kentucky, Mis-
scuri, and West Virginia they use TIE
soldiers to deter and prevent the citizens
from voting, which seems to be as potent
a way Of carrying elections AS the former.
In Baltimore county, the military au-
thorities had the Independent candidates
for Sheriff, District Attorney, and Clerk
of the Courts, arrested and confined in the
Provost MarshalIs office until the day
after the election, when they we're again
released, without informing them or the
public of the cause Of their arrest
The history Of American character is
lie, if these things are allowed to be perpe-
traled upon us the second time.
OS A SrRlKE.-We are informed by tch
Washington correspondent Of lrechers
organ, the independent, that the next Con

salary of Honest old Abe" This same
writer informs the public that the prico
Of living in Washington, has increased so
enormously that S25 900 will hardly run
the Kitchen department at tho White
House.
We also learn that the head, Of Depart
mcnts and their clerks are also moving
in this matter, and will ask Congress to
raise their Wages. We presume Old Abe
has employ ed number of scribblers to
bait the public upon this point, in order
to see il lie can get n nibble. We think
that he has been too slow in this matter,
no should have applied to the last Con
gress to have made a sure thing of it. We
are satisfied that no body Of men as cor
rupt as the last Congress, will ever assem-
bic in Washington again. hence the strike
OF Lincoln & Co., is TOO late, and they will
