The World complains that THE TRIBUNE does
not argue with it the Maryland question; and,
for wonder, the complaint has basis of truth.
We are only anxious to state the Mary land ques-
tion-to clear it of all that is irrelevant and non
essential. and let the public see it as it Is.
Here is It's essence:
/. There was in 1854 formidable minority
of the People of Maryland who were, in heart
and act, traitors not merely to the Union but to
their State. They had sent Arnold Elzey,
Bradley T. Johnson, Harry Gilmore, Marshal
X ne, and thousands more such. into the Rebel
armies fighting to divide and destroy our coun-
try; and they were constantly sending recruits
to those armies, with all manner OF munitions
and supplies Struggled across the Potomac into
the Rebel lines. They chose TO be represented
in Congress by such men as Ben. G. Harris.
The Uorh holds that these traitors were still
morally and legally Maryland electors under
her Union State Government. TIE TRIBUNE
denies it.
9. The BorH maintains that Constitutional
Convention, chosen by the People OF Maryland
TO revise their State Constitution, had no right
to prescribe an oath of loyalty, intended to keep
these traitors from voting. The TRIBUNE is on
The opposite side of that question.
3. Reverdy Johnson wrote an elaborate let
ter calculated and intended to encourage those
traitors to take the oath falsely in order to vote
in spite Of their treason and in defiance of the
Convention. TIE Borid in a sneaking, under-
hand way, backs that opinion, while It's cores
pendent &C" stands square up TO its defense.
TIE TRIBUNE considers every Secessionist who
followed that advice peJured, and Rcyerdy
johnson an inciter of perjury.
These are all the matters in issue, and we
decline to argue them. We would as soon
argue with the burglar breaking into our win
dow at midnight-with the thief who had bis
hand on our pocket-book. We cannot counte-
nance suborners of perjury aud abettors Of
treason in the conceit that the morality Of their
conduct is legitimate subject of controversy.
All we can do in the premises is to set forth
their position, with our dissent therefrom, as
clearly as may be; and, having done so in the
case in hand, we have nothing to add.

worth $50, 600 from its benefits. The interview

THE FOLLgEs OF THE FOUETm

We are just beginning to get fair idea Of
what il cost the country TO celebrate the last
Fourth Of July, not in lucre, but in lives and
limbs. The newspapers from all parts of the
land are bringing us depressing tidings Of homi-
cides, of houses burned, of gunners killed by
their own guns, OF broken bones, Of casualties
in dreadful profusion and variety. We are the
most impetuously festive people in the world.
1t NAV be undignifcd to speak of "going it
with a rush." or Of " going it with looseness;"
but these vulgar and colloquial phrases can
alone adequately express the velocity and
abandonment of our merry.making. Upon
other days of the year the railway companies
conspire with reckless swilch-tenders TO help
the community upon It's way to another and Il
calmerword; but upon the Fourth of July, we,
ourselves, mount the locomotive and rush rap
turously into the jaws of destruction. Dreadful
bell fright us from our prOpricty iDopportune
explosions communicate the mania 10 ourhorses;
fireworks stimulate in the evening the irenzies
VI the morning; cocktails, smashes, julcps,
sings and punches keep up the confagraton;
great crowds Of jostling men, Of weary women
and Of frightened and feverish children eat
what they should not eat, drink what they
should not drink, stand where they should not
stand, and move on when safety requires them
to remain stationary. The daring sage who,
for the entertainment of his iellow-creatures,
escapes from the turmoil in a balloon. alone
enjoys philosophical composure. We can
imagine him, ms the lastrotes Of the decoration
below reach him, throwing out his Standings
with joyous alacrity, and wondering whether
they are as mad in the moon which he is APP
preaching as they are in the world from which
he is soaring. The doctors tell rs graye'y that
all this noise is fatal to their patients, and that
VIC must add to the long list Of those who are
killed by gunpowder, another and tolcrably'
long one of those who are killed by clamor and
confusion.
Something of the intemperance Of our celc-
bration must undoubtedly be attributed to the
season. If the Congress had but postponed its
Declaration, and taken leave of George the
Third upon the lst OF Decemberl our anuiycr-
sary ght then have been as quietly domestic,
as full Of gentle influences, as moderate and
sensible in its monment, as Christmas or New
Years day. Paterlamilias and Materfamlias
would have kept it with their children by the
fire-sde, while the boisterous aud excessive
classes would have been obliged to booze in re-
tlrement over their porterpot, 70 oJoi.ter them
