THE EATHENEUM-"PUTNA AND "CLAUDE
DUvAL."-Under ordinary circumstances,
the very unpleasant weather last evening
would have caused many an empty seat to
be seen at the Atheneum. But the attrac-
tion was too great last night for any stress
of weather to keep away the admirers of
Mr.. Miles's eqestrianism and those who de-
sired to contribute to his benefit, as well as
to encourage the enterprising Manager and
his talented corps of actors. The conse-
quence was that the house was filled, above
and below, to overllowing.
The two plays-"Putnam" and "Claude
Duval"-which went off with so much eclat
last night, will be reproduced Tonight
Another crowded and delighted house may
be expected.

LOCAL POLITICS.



The Express of last evening contains a
venomous article, headed 1.-THE two Cop
perheadTickets," which is sodevoid truth,
that several of the Republican readers of
that paper called upon us and desired us to
ventilate few of its most glaring lies. We
deem this to be altogether work OF super
erogation; but shall, nevertheless proceed to
do it. in accordance with the expressed de-
sire of the gentlemen alluded to.
Patrick L. Durcan was not elected Sec
retary of the late Democratic City Conven-
ton, as The Express has it: Samuel 4. Kile
was Secretary. The same paper says, that
the resolution pledging ,"all candidates to
an unconditional opposition to the present
war;" was UNANIMOUSLY adopted! The
truth is, IL toas tabled by uery emphatic vOte,;
and it was after this was done, that dele
gates from the Eighth and Ninth Wards
left the Convention, and went somewhere
else to nominate ticket of their own.
The Express compliments and commends
the unconditional peace men," hoping, in
that cheap way, to accomplish the defeat of
the regular nominees of the Democratic
party of the City of Columbus, and of the
Township of Montgomery. 1t almost es-
says to become the organ of the 'peace-on-
any-terms men!'
1t talks about cliques! The Democracy
tolerate no cliques: The STATESMAN has
no fellowship with anything of the sort. 1t
has sworn eternal hostility to them all
whether they are found in the Democratic
party or out of it. 1t will always be found
hereafter, as in the glorious past, battling
for Democratic principles-FoR THE RIGHT
i'm an open, bold, and straightforward
manner, turning neither to the right nor to
the left. 1t fought Know Nothingism in
the palmy days of that secret political or
ganz ltion, and stot up for the rights of ma
turalized citizens and members of the Cath
olic Church, who were assailed by the pro-
scriptive and prosecuting edicts OF the fo'-
lowers of the dark lantern. The very men
who withdrew from the Democratic City
Convention last Saturday night, had their
rights and their liberties protected and de-
Tended by the Democratic party, and by
THE STATESMAN, during the days of Know
Nothing prescription and persecution, even
until that terrible storm was overpast. The
Democratic party and THE STATESMAN to-
day stand up for the protection and defense
of the same rights and the same liberties,
whether assailed openly or by secret politi-
cal organizations; and neither threats nor
denunciations shall ever drive us from the
course SO plainly and distinctly marked ont
by the Fathers of our Democratic Zion.

OUR LOCAL ELECTION.
DEMOCRATS RALLY As ONE MAN
In Union There is strength!

We regard the election on Monday as the
most important ever held in this city and
township. Our opponents, the advocates
of a disunion war policy, of negro equality
and negro suffrage, will be out in their full
strength to carry the election if possible
They are using every device for that end,
every misrepresentation and falsehood they
can invent, and seek TO foment and aggra-
vate divisions in the Democratic ranks.
In these Vaccinations lies their only hope
of success. If they should succeed, it will
be trumpeted throughout the State and
country as great Abolition triumph in
that stronghold of Democracy, the Capital
of Ohio. If Democrats are true to them
selves, to their principles, and to the time
honored usages of their party, such dis
grace as this would be cannot happen. Let
them all therefore rally as one man to the
support Of the ticket regularly nominated
at their City and Township Convention,
and standing at the head of this column.
This ticket is headed by the name of a
candidate for City Marshal, who has
proved faithful and efficient officer, and the
other candidates are all suitable and capable
men for the various offices to which they
have been severally nominated. Their po-
litical soundness has been vouched for by
the Democratic Nominating Convention.
Therefore, it becomes every Democrat
who has any regard for the success of the
principles Of his party-any desire to
save the city and township, as well as
the State and country at large, from Abo-
lition misrule and tyranny, to vote at the
election on Monday next the regularly
nominated Democratic ticket without the
erasure or change Of a single name.

The Maryland Constitutional Con
ventiOn ---- Correspondence Be-
tween Gov. Bradford and Gen.
Wallace.

Wallace.
BALTIMORE, April 1.-The American of
this city publishes to-day important cor
respondence between Governor Bradford
and Major General Wallace in regard to the
prevention of disloyal persons being elected
to the Constitutional Convention at the
election on Wednesday next. The General
addresses the Governor, furnishing him
with official copies of the papers, glance
at which he saws will doubtless satisfy
him that persons disloyal to the Gov
ernment of the United States are candi-
dates for the Constitutional Convention,
the election for which takes place April
9Th, and asks the Governor whether the
Legislature in prescribing an oath of loyal
ty to be administered to the delegates before
taking their seats did not also intend to pro-
vide method for the rejection at the polls
of the votes of disloyal men, and that
the power to judicial authority with which
the Judges of election are elected with au-
thority adopted by the lawmakers for the
accomplishment of that purpose, and asks
the Governor to give him his views as to
the extent of the authority possessed by the
Judges of Election, and especially as to
whether they have power to reject vote
or account of the disloyalty of the person
Gov. 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 in believing that they
are entirely sufficient, if faithfully execu-
ted, as have every reason to hope they will
be, to exclude disloyal voters from the polls.
The duty of our judges of election is in
this respect clearly defined and adequately
enforced by the convention, and it is pro-
vided that any judge of election who shall
refuse or neglect to perform any of tina
duties required of him, shall be liable to
indictment for such offense, and upon con-
viction thereof shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor. and be sentenced to u fine of
not less than $780, and to imprisonment in
the Jail of the city or county where such
offense may have been committed for q
term not less than six months. t.
Among the documents submitted to the
Governor is correspondence between the
General and L. G. Kilbourne, one of the
candidates on the disloyal tickets in Anne
Arundel county; who was, it will be re-
membered, Speaker of the House of Dele
gates at Fredericksburg in 1861.
The result of the question by the General
IS that Mr.. Kilbourne acknowledges his dis
loyalty and declines being candidate.
