Montgomery Blair Again.

4 mass meeting of citizens of Talbot
county, Nd, who are opposed to the reg
istry law and to negro suffrage was held
in Easton on the 18th. The following
letter from the Hon. Montgomery Blair
was read:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 1865.
Gentlemen Your invitation to attend
the mass meeting Of the people Of Talbot
on the 18th inst, came to hand this
morning. | regret that engagements to
speak In the State Of New York, com.
mencing next week, and to continue to

ing, prevents me from promising to be
with you, II it is in my power to be
present, | viii certainly avail myself
of the occasion to meet the people of Tai
bot.
The attempt to disfranchise our peo-
pie is but part of the scheme of the
Northern Radicals to dsfranchise the
South. But l have 10 fear that the
Maryland toadios to this ambitious and
revolutionary party will meet with any
couutenance from our people Whilst
the war ragged and this precious crew
rioted in public plumber, it was possible
to deceive the loyal people by tue cry Of
"Copperhcad' upon every mau who as
serted the Constitutional rights of the
people of Maryland aud Southern States
as States in the Union. But the time has
come for settlement with u gang of
scoundrels who avail themselves Of the
public difficulties to perpetrate unnumo Der
ed crimes against the rights Of person aud
property in our State. These crimes were
all the more atrocious because they
brought odium upon the cause of the
Union, yet the public mind was too mnch
occupied with the great cause, and
they had too great hold on the Depart
ments, to fix public attention upon the
perpetrators But they are not forgot en-,
nor will the Registry law save them. Its
ostensible purpose is to punish rebels, but
its real object is to screen fcom punish
ment. The lawless men, who Under the

GreelY on Conf scation.

Horace Greedy, in reviewing ferocious
speech lately delivered in Pennsylvania, ur-
gDg con6scation OF Southern property
says:
"Unless all history is fable, the Gov
eminent would realize next to nothing
from this wholesale couIiscation. Who can
recall an instance wherein treasury was
filled or public debt extinguished by the
process of couiscallon ? Marshals,
judges, informers, denouucers, spectators,
aud the whole vulture tribe, whom the
scent of a fat carcass called together,
would become suddenly and fabulously
rich but precious little net proceeds
would ever reach the Treasury, unless hu-
nan nature has totally changed within
few years, and of such change we can see
no evidence. Worse than all, the South
ern people would starve to death while the
transformation was in progress. No one
would sow i'll doubt as to who would reap
no one would build, or repair, OF make
any considerable improvement on land
sequestrated and about to be sold to the
highest bidder; all would be stagnation,
disgust, hestaucy--ro one employing la
Dor and no one choosing to add to the val
uation Oft property he, with very scanty
means, hoping to buy. In our deliberate
judgment, Mr.. Stevens proposition, if cx-
ecuted, would kill more of the blacks than
the war has sent to their graves, and not
many fewer Of the whites"

PAINFUL ACCIDENT. - On Sunday morning
last, Richard Pue, son OF NJ. E. Poe, Esq, liv-
ing about three miles from this place, met witq
painful accident. 1t appears that for some
purpose he had taken his gun from the usual
place where it was kept, and while handling 1t
carelessly, put bis hand over the muzze, when
the gun was discharged, perhaps from jar, the
whole load passing through the hand, causing
very dangerous wound. Drs. Munnikhuysen
and Wilson dressed the wound, and at last ac-
counts the young man was as comfortable as
coull be expected.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May IL, 1865.
Hon. /. n Morris,
Dear Sir:-In answer to your verbal in
quiry addressed to me this day, i beg TO state,
that | distinctly remember an interview be-
tween the late president, his excellency,
Alb raham Lincoln, and Gov. Yates, then gov
ernor of this state, and was present at said
interview In the capacity of assistant secreta-
ry to the governor. The interview took place
at the White House, Washington, in the lat
ter part of March, 1868. Gov. Yates asked
the president if he would be kind en- ough to
hear you read an argument you had prepar-
ed. showing the ustice of the claim of the
state of Illinois to the so-called two per cent.
fund and which you had that day read TO the
governor in my presence. The president re-
piled that there was no necessity for your
reading the paper to him that he was then
very busy, and that he had also some time
since gone over summary of the legal points
In the case with you, and had made up his
mind upon the whole matter. The president
also continued as nearly as | can remem Der:
"Gov. Yates. have made up my mind fully
as to the justice and equity of the claim
The only difficulty | see in the case is as to
the propriety of pressing it at this psrticu-
lar time. l think 1t is inopportune to do so
when the government is so pressed for means
TO carry on the war"
That was the substance of the presidents
reply. who during the conversation. did not
once question the validity of the claim on the
part of the state, and only treated its pay
ment as a question of time.
am, dear sir, most respectfully yours,
Jos. h, c. FORREST.

AsHINGToN, req. ZUth, 1904.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiry will
state that have examined your report on
the two per cent. fund due from the United
States to the state of Illinois, submitted to
Governor Yates, in April, 1868. and partcu-
larly that part of it in which you refer on the
Goth and 2lst pages to an interview l had
with the president and what said be-
tween US on the subject at that interview,
held on the 23d of March, 1863, when L read
to him your written statement, bearing date
of March 18th, 1868, and fully endorse and
sustain you in all the facts which you have
presented; they TRANSFERRED as you represent
them. The president stated to us what you
say he did. and Ifelt no doubt on my mind that
Illinois was entitled to the money che claim
ed according TO his view of the law relating
thereto.
will also state that after my interview with
the president had another with Hon. John P
Usher, secretary of the interior, who treated me
with great courtesy and kindness which termina-
ted by his leaving the impression on my MUD that
his view of the laws, upon which are based the
claim of Illinois, the same those which
the president bad expressed to me.
Yours very truly,
