Congressional party, Gen. Howard made an
address, at the capitol. A large crowd OF
freedmen congregated to hear the evidences
of advancement every where among the col
ored race. Some of their schools, be said,
would do credit to the best white schools in
the country He earnestly exhorted all to
live a life of piety, to shun vice and sin IN ev-
ery form. He was listened to with the Gloss
est attention. at the close of the address
resolutions Of thanks to the gallant chief OF
the Bureau were unanimously adopted by
the crowd Not the least significant incl
dent, connected with the Congressional ban
ouet, was the fact of It's being attended by
the leading rebel citizens. Gen. Cheatham
Maury and ex Governor Brown, made speech
e., concluding with good feeling, and love for
the Reconstructed Union.

Colonel Wethsfey, . member Of the State
Senate, who was aatrustsd with an informal
commission to the President of the United
States, has returned from Washington, where
he had a'ong and highly gratifying interview
with the Executive, pom the question Of res

that the Southern States, through their Leg.
islatures, should reject the proposed Consti-
tutional amendment. but in such terms - not

would be sustained BY the Supreme Court Of
the United States, at least he had reason to
hope it would.

CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH
I'M MARYLAND.

We rejoice to announce the good news
that the Radical power is crushed for
ever in Maryland; and a better day has
dawned on our people.
The following is the result OF the
election Of Tuesday as far as now known
In Baltimore City, the vote stood Tor
Comptroller, Leonard, 1913, Bruce
7493-Copscrvative majority l,O2O.--
We elect three Senators and IL Dele
gates. Out Of over $4,000 votes regis
tered, about 10000 votes were taken
by the Radical judges, and large num-
Der rejected. We have carried all the
counties in the State, except Carroll,
Frederick, Washington and probably
Allcgany, We will have 10 ConserTa'
tiyes in the Senate to Q Radicals. In
the House of Delegates 80 Conserya-
tives to q Radicals. Should We get
Allogany county it will be still better
We have elected to Congress all the
Conservative candidates but one, Col
Maulsby, in the 18th District.

The Result i'm Carroll.

We are not much disappointed IN the
result of the election, save in the extent
of the Radical majoritJ That, lIowcy-
err should not BIO wondered at, when we
consider that over one thousand men
of legal age in the County are not reg
istered; and that the Radical judges had
the privilege Of rejecting as many of the
registered voters as they chose. How
many such have been rejected in the
County we know not at the present
time. At Westminster VIC counted
twenty who we're rejected, and there
may have been more.
The Radical majority in the County
for Congress is about 7l5.
The statement published has full re-
turns from all districts except Finks-
burg and New Windsor the 4th K 18th,
The first has given 3s and the last IL

Attorney Gcnoral RandaII.

We respect Mr.. Randall as a grave
and sincere gentleman, aud doubtless
very honest in his opinions, which are
given Ia every emergency, and always
favorable to his party views. we do
not, however, regard his judgment as
iniallible. For example, Gov. Bradford
acted upon his advice and appointed
Magistrates throughout the State who
acted for some months contrary to law.
and then had to give place to the old
Magistrates again who are now acting.
Never was there a more awkward mis-
take. His latest opinion was, that the
Judges CT Election could reject regis
tered voters generally.
