| MARYLAND POLITICS.
Immediate emancipationists Of the Winter
Davis school, say that the election of Gov,
! Hicks ms y. S. Senator, in Maryland, is tri-
I u1nph Of the gradual emancipation party.
They explain it By saying that the disputes
rs to the minor office had broken the column
| Of the immediate emancipation party, and
| TINT once broken nearly I'll went over in a
body for Ricks, In order to be on the win
| ming side. They claim that they etill have a
majority In the Legislature, but regret Hicks
i election as m unfortunate. prolongation Of
the power in the conservative hands.

Radicals, but at the same time to become the
special champion of Afr. Lincoln, and SO find
footing for himself again In the admins:
tsation party.
The question Of Schodeld's confirmation Is
developing into avery pretty light in the
Senate. The chances are very much mixed,
aud it is idle to attempt to predict the result
though the weight Of opinion seems to be that
he cannot be confirmed :

Hammond than has been commonly sup
posed
He will roou Du brought to trial hnfnro

The proposition to revise the grade Of
Lieutenant General with view Of giving it
to General Grant, still hangs fire in the
Honse Military Committee. It ID understood
that when it is reported back to the House
it will be opposed from some unexpected
quarter.
Tie present delay arises, however, from
technical questions as to law, and from fears
that its passage would be apt to take General
Grant out Of the field. j..
he all the better If It did this and nut him In
Hsl,eck'e place.
