MARYLAND IyBRoGEIo.-There is imui-
nent danger of q serious outbreak or election
day in Baltimore. 1t seems, By tie iaes of
Maryland, the police cese nissioners OF the
city of Baltimore have control Of the register
ing of voters and the appointment of Judges
o. election in that city. These commissions
ers are bitter radi :als, and, what i. almost
natural sequence, unscrupnlously dishonest.
At the las. election in that city it was shown
that they had peroetrated and connived al
the grosscst frauds. In one ward, where 4
conservative voters swear they had vot d BIT
% votes were returned On the count; and
now they refuse to register hundreds Of men
entitled to vote. Gov. Swan, therefore, has
determined to remove these com mi. sioners
and appoint others. The corrupt commits
siorers refuse 20 vacaie their offices, and
the radicals expires, determination to keep
them in by force. At las. accounts, Gov.
Swan WAS organizingls force to enforce his
orders in Baltimore, and the radicals we're
arming to resist. Unless some compromise
can be effected, bloody fight in the streets
OF Baltimore on election day is therefore
Inevitable.

An Outrage.

We have elsewhere referred to the dif6s
Guilty our republican stumpers through the
county find in getting audiences. but the
toughest case of the kind we have heard Of
occurred on Tuesday evening at Vermllion-
vile. 1t seems Parsoa Perkins and one A.
T. Cameron were advertised for speeches at
the town house in that town, on the evening
indicated. They went there and found no.
body, the interest Of the community being
at the time enlisted in q religious revival at
the Congregational Church, under the leads
ership of the Rev. Mr.. Mansfield and his wife.
So our political missionaries went to tina
church. There could be no objection to tina,
never were the means of grace offered to
more needy objects. But it seems they were
not in as pious frame of mind as appearan.
ces indicated. They were not even willing
that the religious exercises should II owe along
peaceably. Ir 4 word, they insisted on bres-
king up the religious meeting and converting
it into politics. powow. Brother Mansfield
Protested; bu, it was no go. Parson Perks
iEs and Mr.. Cameron had been advertised to
make political speeches in that town-ths
religionis,s had stolen their audience, and
they insisted on their right TO address
that audience then and there. OF coure Old
Nick had few disciples there to second the
impudent pretensiou. Rather than have a
row Brother Mansfield yielded but so greats
ly was the congrega.io on outraged, that all of
them left in disgust except few crazy
fanatics, with their women and children.
Thereupon Mr.. Cameron took the floor, Or
rather pulpit and delivered one Of those vile
and abusive harrangues which form the
staple Of black republican oratory during the
present campaign. When he closed Father
Perkins was invited to follow, but to his
credit j. must be said, he had no stomach
further to rrolong the indecency. Perhaps
glimmering Of his ancient reverence for
d" sacred places" may have shot across his
mind AT all events, incredible as it NAV
seem. Father Perkins, haFIng an opportunity
offered, yet refused to speak. And SO, per,
force, the meeting came to an end. But
that whole community feels outraged, and
have urged US to make the facts public.

time was sufficiently commanding TO stop
such enlistments, and that he Cunningham

that John gave him money 10 do so. Thi,

On the 4,h of March, 1862, in the middle
of the war, long after every :outhern state

As there are but one hundred and seventy

will be seen that the Southern States were
