BALTIMORE, April 1.
The American, Of this city, publishes
this P. NJ. an important conversation be-
tween Governor Bradford and Major Gen.
eral Wallace, in regard to the prevention
Of disloysl persons being elected to the
Constitutional Convention st the election
on Wednesday next. The General sddres-
ses the Governor by furnishing him with
official copies of papers, glance at which
he says will doubtless satisfy him that
persons disloysl to the Government Of
the United States are candidates
for the Constitutional Convention; the
| election for which takes place April 9Th,
and asks the Governor whether the Leg
islature, in prescribing an oath Of loyalty
to be Administered to the delegates before
taking their seats, did not also intend to
provide method for the rejection st the
polls of the votes of disloysl men, and
that the power to Judicial authority with
which the Judges of election are clothed
was really the mode adopted by the law
makers for the accomplishment Of that
purpose, and he asks the Governor to give
ihim his views as to the extent Of
authority passed by the judges Of election,
especially as to whether they have power
to reject vote on account Of the disloy-
atty of the person Offering it.
Governor Bradford replies at some
length, giving review Of the laws Of the
State upon the subject, in which he says
"you will agree with me that they
are entirely sufficient, if faithfully exc
cuted, as 1 have every reason to hope they
will be, to exclude disloysl voters from
the polls; the duty Of our judges OF cleo
tion are in this respect clearly defined
and adequately enforced by the cOnven
ton and it is provided that any Judge o
Election who shall refuse or neglect Z
: perform any Of the duties required Of him
shall be liable to Indictment for such Of
tense, and upon conviction thereof, shsl
be deemed guilty Of misdemeanor, an
be sentenced to fine not less than $50
and to Imprisonment in the jail Of the cit.

for term of not less than six months.

to the Washington Lecture Association for

during the S6th Congress, caused to be
submitted to the House an official report
setting forth the inequality snd injustice
existing in our present intercourse with
Cansds subversive Of the true interest Of
the treaty, owing to the subsequent legis-

THE RIOT AT CHARLEsToE.
We learn from perfectly reliable man
just from Charleston today that affairs
there are quiet and the troubles seem to

Some forty Copperhesds are under ar
rest at Mattoon. An investigation is now
in progress which will probably release
about one-hslf the number, as only
those will be held against whom posi-
tive evidence is obtained which will
convict them of completely in the

It is under the command Of Sheriff OHsir

Charleston. Squads of from thirty to for

who murdered sn enrolling officer in Han
cock county, Illinois, some time since, was
shot dead by soldier in Jacksonville to-

Cherry, who drew a revolver and tried tc

for him, and laid him dead at his feet.

The Adjournment Of the Legislature!
The Ohio Legislature adjourned on
Thursdsy after having done as much
efficient service as any legislative body for
some years. The almost unanimous Union
character of the members, has made what
ever legislation the critical times demand,
comparatively easy matter. They have
exhibited wise regard for the best inter-
ests Of the State also, and have passed
some very important bills, among which
are the Bounty Bill; bill providing lib
orally for Soldiers families; some very
important amendments to the School Law,
whereby a new era of prosperity should
dawn on the educational interests Of the
State; an act to provide for the defense
Of the State; bill looking to the payment
Of damages incurred in the Morgan raid ;
bill to prevent the sale Of ardent spirits
on election days. a bill limiting the
amount Of fees in criminal cases; and
measures to reduce the State debt to the
extent Of ct least 5000, 900 during the CON-
ing year.
As q general rule legislative bodies leg
islste too much rather than too little. WI
feel therefore highly grstifed that oul
Legislature has done only such necessary
work as was imparstively demanded.
Our own representatives, Messrs. Will
Hanson, Lockwood, BabcOck and Everett
have exhibited eOmmeudable industry
and patriotism IN the work Of the pas
Winter. They have nObly represented
, the interests of the second city in Ohic
} and are entitled to the gratitude of tn
people.
