BALTIMoRE, April 1.-The American, OF
this city, publishes, this evening, an impor.
tant correspondence between Gov. Bradford
and Maj. Gen. Wallace in regard to the pre-
vention of disleyal persons being elected to
the Constitutional Convention &C the cleo
ton on Wednesday next. The Gen. ad
dressed the Gov, furnishing him with off
cial copies of papers, glance at which. he
says, will doubtless satisfy him that per-
sons disloyal to the Government of the U.
s., are candidates for the Constitutional
Convention, the election for which takes
place April 9th, and asks the Gov. whether
the Legislature, in presenting an oath Of
loyalty to be administered to the delegates
before taking their seats, did not also in.
tend to provide method for rejection at
tho polls oil the votes of disloyal men, and
that the power to judicial authority with
which the judges of election are clothed
was really the made adopted by the law
makers for the accomplishment of that our.
pofe, and he asks the Gov. to give him his
views as to the extent Of the authority POS
sessed by the judge Of election, and espe.
cially as to whether they have power to re-
ject vote on account Of the disicyalty OF
the person Offering it.
Governor Bramlette referred at some
length in giving review CT the laws of the
State, upon the subject of which he says
you will agree with me in believing. They
are entirely sufficient if faitl fnlly executed
Is I have every reason to hope they will be,
to exclude disloyal voters from the polls.
The duties Of our judges Of elections, is, in
this respect clearly defined, and adequately
enforced by the convention; and its proba
BILE that any judge of elections who shall re,
fuse or neglect to perform any of the dnties
requiredof him. shall be liable to indict-
ment for such offense, and upon conviction
thereof shall be deemed guilty
of misde- meanor, and be
sententenced to fine of not less
than $500 and to Imprisonment in the jail
of the city or county where such offense
NAV have been committed for term not
less than six months. Among the documents
submitted to the Governor is correspon
dence between the General and s e. Kill
bourne one of the candidates on the disloyal
ticket in Anne Arundel county, who was it
will be remembered, Speaker Of the House
of Delegates at Frederick in 1861. The
result of the question by the Gen'l is that
Mr.. Kilbourne acknowledges his disloyalty
and declines being candidate. 4t
