Representatives met in joint session and counted
the electoral votes cast for President and Vice
President at the late election The teller an
nounced that 2l2 had been given for Lincoln and
Johnson, and Il FOX Mcclellan and Pendleton.-
The votes of Louisiana and Tennessee were not
counted A joint resolution was passed, appro-
priating ST., 900 for bust of the late Chief JUS
tice fancy, to be placed in the Supreme Court
Room.
Both Houses have spent most of the time in
considering the Revenue and Enrolment Bills
The duties on various articles have been mate
rally increased list of which will be published
next week.
The State Legislature has finally passed the
$500 Bounty bill and it is now law. This OBJ
ligates the payment of $500 on the part OF
the State to every man who volunteers for three
years, and to every man drafted or otherwise who
puts in a substitute. The Bill also authorizes
County Commissioners to make an additional ap-
preparation not exceeding 5000 for each man.
A joint committee of the two Houses has been
appointed TO enquire into the circumstances of the
burning of Gov. Bradford's dwelling. The seal
OF L. L. Waters Of Somerset county, in the SEN
ate has been contested by citizens of that county,
on the ground of disloyalty.

Correspondence Of the Union.
The Late Jurors Supper.

MessrS Editors of tie Union
Gentlemen-As il is currently reported that the
Jurors of the last Term of Court were opposed to
cOntesting the election of Mr.. Grason, and that a
supper was given for his special benefit, it is
nothing more than justice to those who are mis-
informed to correct this erroneous impression.
A petition addressed to the General Assembly,
protesting against his removal was circulated
among the jurors. Three of them signed it, but
after thorough discussion, of the subject, they
erased their Names and the petition WAS burnt.
notwithstanding this, there were however, some
three oriour, opposed to contestng his election.
The supper was in accordance with an old estab-
lished custom, andas an act ofcourtesy the Judge,
was invited, and made to preside over one of the
tables.
All present were pleased to have him there on
this social accession, and the applause which
the personal compliment paid him by the State S
Attorney, is reported to have received, was in
tended, and meant nothing more, than an express
sion of personal regard for there were probA-
bly, not more than five Union men present who
desired to have the contested election for the
Judgeship abandoned. Mr. Shamberger was the
gentleman who conducted Mr.. Grason, 10 his
seat at the head Of the table. Will any one who
knows Mr.. Shamberger, suppose for moment,
that ne thereby intended to give any expression
in favor Of, or against Mr. Grason holding the
OuuEes"iP! Aue company enjoyed themselves as
usual, without regard to politics, and without
intending to strengthen or weaken the claims of
Mr.: Grason. 1t was purely social gathering,
and as on occasions of the kind (it being a sup
per,given by the Jurors) it seemed to be appro-
PIRATE and proper to offer toast complimentary
to the Judge. This Mr. Ensor very courteously
did, without any reference to politics, and with
qgt intending what he said, to have any bearing
whatever in that direction, for those who know
them both, know that while they are personal
friends their politics are altogether different
II is hoped that the Legislature will take up this
case at an early day, and give it fair and Inn

Public Officers.

The dry bones that have been reposing so quiz
city for several years, in the Valley of Abraham,
have had quite a sierring up lately. Public of
fcers have been made to feel ION what slender
thread, chang the things which they would
gladly have eternal The old principle of ro-
tation in office has been at work lately. Men
went to sleep at night comforting their souls
with the promise of many long days of ease in a
fat Office, and woke to find that their heads had
been unceremoniously cut off during The night,
by telegraph. In the Revenue Department, Jas.
L. Ridgely, Esq, has been made Collector for
this District, vice Jos. J. Stewart transferred to
the Assessorship of the Sd District, made vacant
by the removal of Mr.. Beall In the Provost
Marshal's Department. Capt Blumenburg of
the Sd District, has been removed and Capt.
Clayton made bis successor. As a Consequence,
nearly all the clerks and subordinate officers
have also been changed. No change in this De-
partment has been made in our own District nor
is there likely to be- if attention to duty gives
the present incumbents any claim to continuance.
A number of the employees of the Custom
House have likewise been turned out, and other
changes are spoken of, from the Collectorship
down. There isa general shaking in the shoes
among ofice-holders, and every one is asking
himself ''Lord, will be the next2''
Now we believe in rotation in office, when it
rOtdtes bad man out, and good one IN, espe-
cialy as we are out and would not object to be
rotated in somewhere. But We don't believe in
this buying and selling, this bartering and ira
ding of public offices, that is so shamefnliy fire.
quent at the present day. Some men, in view
of some service they have rendered the public or
the party, imagine that they havea life claims on
some fatofice. They takeitfor granted that under
all circumstances they "must be. provided for. "
Official dignity seems to have passed away. An
Office is sought after not account of any honor
or responsibility connected with it, but simply
on account Of the money that can be gotten out
ofit. Men who hold the highest positions of
trust and responsibility in the nation, positions
which the greatest Statesmen of our country
have been called to fill, are found willing to lay
aside their robes of honor, and go through the
streets begging for place whose only import
ance is in its salary and emoluments We know
very few men whose public services have been so
valuable and SO disinterested, that the govern
ment is bound to keep them in Office the balance
of their days. Where an Office is filled by an
honest man, qualified for its duties and attentive
thereto, we don't believe in putting him out simp-
ly to crafty another, and perhaps an inferior
man, with his place. But where there has been
the least misdemeanor in office, the slightest ne
giect of duty, put the first better man You meet
in his place.

me at this very unreasonable hour to acknowl-
edge the receipt of that large and well filled
box it was your good pleasure to send to the
Union soldiers from Towsontown, Luthervlle.
and vicinity on last Thanksgiving day, and
which it, was my very agreeable duty to dis
tribute.
Mr.. King, Maryland State Agent, brought it
safely through, (Which the contents of the box
verified and although itdid not arrive in time
to be enjoyed on the appropriated day, yet to
the Yankee recipients it was day of real heart
felt Thanksgiving to the fair donors
Beside the men of my own company, divi-
ded liberal share to such of the 9TH Md, as
are from the designated localities, and the num-
Der was about forty. 1t made for each man, las
l know it was intended to make) perfect feast
and indeed dear ladies, i think you would have
been amply repaid could you but have witness
ed the Joy and gladness your box created, and
seen how brightly each face lit up when first
beholding its contents. Maybe you have for
gotten the Thanksgiving dinner you gave to
the same company in 1862, when it was station
ed at Camp Bradford, Baltimore, If you have
they have not. Upon opening the box. | found
a note written by one of your society, Miss Sal
lie Stevenson, and read it aloud. The inquiring
looks that were cast at each other could easily
be interpreted. Yes, said they, "Thcy are the
same ladies that gave US that Thanksgiving dim
ner at Camp Bradford" Good bless them"
I" They are the right kind of ladies'" and many
more EXPLANATIONS, which would cause the
most modest to hide their faces and the less
modest to turn scarlet.
In fine dear ladies, your real appreciation of
their services, inspired their hearts with fresh
courage to bear the toll, endure the hardsh
and more than all else to face the rebel foe upon
the dread field of battle, determined to con
quer or to die. Such recognitions l reassure
you my dear lady friends, go far toward con-
quering victory, and enabling the Union soldier
to forget for the sake of those who are at home
(and abroad also,) the many priyaNOns he is
called upon to endure
am certain that you will pardon my long
delay in acknowledging the receipt of your
box. l could have done so earlier, but when
my mind was upon the subjectI had not the
opportunity. And now in conclusion | send
you the sincere thanks of each partaker of your
splendid gift, and the knowledge that you will
ever live the bright e. jewels in their memorial
caskets. With great esteem, | am, ladies your

RoBBEnY .-0ne day last week, Mr.. John d.
Legg, living at Merryman's Mill in the 10th dis
trict, stepped into drinking saloon on Lancas-
ter ST., in the city OF Baltimore, and while pay
ing for glass of beer, two rufians robbed him OF
his purse containg about $6lO. The robbery oc-
Cured about o'clock in the afternoon One
of the robbers held Mr.. Leggs arms behind him,
while the other took his money. The scoundrels
ran as soon as the transaction was over Mr.
Legg at once notified the Police of the robbery,
and several arrests have been made.
We sincerely hope the perpetrators of this out
rage may be brought to speedy Justice. Mr..
Legg, is not rich man, and will feel his loss
severely. It is another reminder of the danger
there is in visiting those crime-nfested parts Of
the city, especially when carrying quantity of
money.

with whom sine has been living for the last seven
years, died at his residence on the night of FRI
day the Sd inst She was born and raised in the
Seventh District, and recollected distinctly some
of the scenes of the Revolution. Her exact age
is somewhat in donht 1t is certain however, that
she was So years old and she may have been even
older. During the greater part of her life time
she was member of the Metho. Epis. Church
until the division took place, when she joined Tie
Protestant branch. Until within few years she
was an active and regular attendant at public
worship, when an attack of disease confined her
to her room. Up TO that time her mind as well
as body, was clear and vigorous. She never
was married. She was connected with the
i'earces and Holmes of the Tenth District. Her
Father died about 20 years ago ut the advanced
age of l04 yerrs, showing that she came of a
vigorous and long-lived stock
