The Maryland Election.

ThG people of Maryland are to vote to-mor.
row upon the subject Of emancipation. The
case is pretty well understood by many of the
citizens of that State, as we infer from the fol,
lowing resolutions passed by convention in
Worcester county;
Resslvsd, That VIC are in favor of making
Maryland free State, and for immediate and
unconditional emancipation.
RlsOkVcd, That We oppose all plans of taxa
tlon for the raising of money 10 pay for slaves
from the hard earnings OF the men who have
never been benefited, but only cursed by Sla-
very.
ReSOiUed That the only available substitute
for the poor man, who is unable TO pay his $500
TO the Government for Communication, Is the
negro; and that We favor the enlistment of all
Colored mUu, free and slave, as presenting the
only security against draft in our county.
RGSOLUcd, That the cry raised about negro
equality Is a humbug, and only made by dem
agogues and enemies Of the Government; and
that we,belcye nothing tends so much TO de-
grade the working man and to foster autocracy
as human slavery.
ReSo!yed, That we know Of no party or sect
in Maryland who are In favor of allowing ne
grocs to vote, and that all Clamor on that sub
ject is idle, aud made for political effect.
RcSo!rsd, That by keeping the negro slave
you grind down the wOrklngman and his chill
dren with low wages and high rents, and that
the only way to get clear Of tho negro and to
benefit all, Is to set him free.
RsSolpEd, That a free State, free schools,
plenty Of work and good wages is what we
want, and VIII haye-oppose them who may

The Rebel KepudIatIonA

The April hoax Of the rebel Government was
. very profitable one. A paragraph in the Ma,
con (Gs.) COnyederGt says that of the vast
amount of rebel money now in circulation, not
over one half will be converted into bonds
within the time specified by law. 1t says that
there are millions of dollars in the enemy's
lines, beyond the ocean and elsewhere, that
cannot get back in time TO be funded, and 1t
estimates a consequent profit to the treasury
Of about one hundred millions.
1t will be remembered that on the 1rst of the
present month the rebel currency was to be
funded at two-thirds Its (nomlnal) value, and
new greybaeks issued.

TRUE HISTORY OF THE aUIoKsIL-
YER MINING COMPANY,H CASE.

NEH MINING COmPAhNt CASE.
The case Of the Quicksilver Mining Com
pany, which was decided yesterday by the su-
prcme Court, ends SScrles OF suits, which, in
Importance, surpasses any ever had In the
country. The Quicksilver Mining Company
carried of the prize which Judge Clifford said
in his dissenting opinion was worth twenty
millions Of dollars. The history Of this case
is as follows, In 1s43 Andres Castillero, Mex
lean officer, discovered quicksilver mine in
a range OF hills near the line which divided the
ranches Of Justos Larios and jose Berreyesa.
All the country now comprised in the State Of
California, was then owned by the Mexican
Government. Castillero pretended TO have
procured a title to this mine from that
Government, and sold his claim 10 Messrs.
Barron, Forbes & Co., who opened the
mine. They continued In undlsputed pos
session until after the country was ceded by
Guadsloupe Hidalgo, the United States In ac-
qulring the territory obligated itself TO give to
private individuals patents 10 such land as they
had legal rights to, under grants from Mexico.
The Almaden Company, In 1889, filed their
claim for patent TO this mine, and about the
same time the grantees Of Larios and Berreyesa
each filed petition for the confirmation to them
Of their ranches, and each claimed the mine to
be on their land. Last winter the Supreme
Court decided the grant TO Castlllero was fraud
ulent. This lefl tho United States, Berreyesa
and the Quicksilver Mining Company In litiga-
tion for the property.
Between the Government and the Company
the dispute vas whether the south line ex-
tended 10 the main sierra or whether ltstopped
at the foot OF the mine ridge. The court de-
cidcd this point in favor Of the Company. The
District Court Of California had located the
mine upon Berreyesa's land, and the Quick
silver Company had taken an appeal from that
decision. The court reversed the opinion Of
the court below and said the line placing the
mine on the Berreyesa ranch must be set aside,
and the true line is the one established by TIE
Surveyor General of California, which places
the mine on the Quicksilver grant.
