NOR E.

As was expected by all careful obser-
vers Gov. Swami Of Maryland has re-
moved the Commissioners ofpolice in that
city for alleged wrong doing in connexion
with the recent elections in that city.
The matter is one involving the gravest
complications and cannot just now be
looked upon in any other light than a
thinly disguised attempt to carry the
election for Congress which took place on
last Tuesday in favor of the policy of the
President by the admission to the exer-
else of the franchise of the men who had
been in completely with the rebellion and
thus secure the Congressman from that
State. The Constitution of Maryland
forbids the voting Of this class and Gov.
Swami was elected upon this basis. The
Governor, however, has changed his
views and was willing to set aside the Con-
stitution in this matter and SO summoned
the commissioners to answer for their re-
lection of the votes of these people; and
after hearing the case summarily removed
them, and appointed others in their
places who would allow these disloyal per-
sons to vote. We have examined the
evidence and do not find in it anything
from which it would appear that the
Commissioners did not strictly obey the
law. In reading the decision Of the
Governor we are struck with the points
assumed by him; the most important of
which appears to be that he alone without
jury of any kind to decide upon their
guilt, assumes the right to deposc officers
appointed by the Legislature and subject
only to its dictation. Whether the Gov
ernor is right or, wrong in the premises,
this is certainly something that will
scarcely be tolerated in a Democratic
country. The new Commissioners at
tempted to enter upon their duties and
employed the Sheriff to assist them, but
tho old ones had them arrested and COM
mitted to prison for attempting to exercise
unlawful functions. A writ Of habeus
corpus was sued out in behalf of the nom-
inees of the Governor. According to the
laws Of Maryland, however, the warden
of the Prison had three days to produce
them, and this carried the matter beyond
the day of election, after which of course
it would amountto nothing. This farcical
turn of affairs together with the capture
by the UDionists of 5000 stand of arms
which the Governors adherents had
secreted, and the presence Iof Gen. Grant
kept everything quiet, and what was
feared as counterpart to New Orleans
has eventually passed without bloodshed.

Conviction Of a vineland Burglar.

Our readers will remember that few months
since our community was thrown into a fer
ment by the discovery that the Jewelry store
of Mr.. Lewis been broken into in the
night and an amount of valuable Jewelry
abstracted. Marshall Wallace Taylor imme-
diateiy took the matter in hand and following
supposed clue, went to Vineland in search of
the missing property. Suspicion fastened
upon family named Chase living there, and
Mr.. Taylor proceeded to make a search
of the premises. Mrs. Chase was apparently
Mortified at the suspicious and protested her
ladyhood, but the viglant Marshall had seen
ladies' of this kind before and politely but
firmly proceeded with the search. There was
one chest which he wished to open, but whose
key unfortunately had been lost and the lady
could not find it. She assured him, however,
that it contained nothing but few old books
and papers. Again the polite but memorable
Marshall came to the lady's assistance and
opened the chest without key. In the chest
was found large quantity of valuable goods
as also another lot secreted in bed. No
jewelry was found and so far the expedition
was failure. Now comes the strangest part
Of the story. These goods it seems had been
stolen from firms in Lawrence, Massachusetts,
and the detectives had made several visits to
Viueland for the purpose of looking them up.
but without any decided success. Enough
information had been obtained to warrant the
gravest suspicious, pieces had been cut
without her knowledge, from the dress the
lady wore; which tailed exactly with the stolen
goods, but this was not sufficient to justify an
arrest, and but for the timely discovery of
Mr.. Taylor it is not probable that they would
have been recovered at all. The trial was re-
Gently concluded at Lawrence and Chase con-
victed, largely upon the evidence of Mr..
Taylor.
We regard this whole matter as eminently
creditable to Mr.. Taylor, and as proof that
there are no better offic ers of the law to be
easily found than himself. We do not know
the quality of Massachusetts gratitude, but il
it is of kiud worthy Of the uame, Mr.. T.
must have been handsomely remunerated for
his action. We must be permitted to add in
closing, that the unenviable notoriety attaching
to Vineand in all these matters are not fairly
chargable against the character of the CON-
munity there, but Incidental to the circum-
stances attending all places of similarly rapid
growth.

THE WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS
A correspondent of the New York
Times says: ! have authority for say
ing that the President regards the writ
of habeas corpus as fully restored all
over the United States save in Texas.
That in all cases where the writ is Ie-
gally issued it should be responded to
as above suggested. But the restora-
ton of the writ does not prevent the
trial by military commissions, under
the law of Congress, of army contrae-
tors for frauds. Nor does the peace
proclamation of itself suspend or make
void any trial that had been actually
commenced prior to the PRONUNCIATION
of the proclamation.
