The: decision Of Judge Bartol, in The case ofthe
Baltimore Police Commissioners, entirely sus-
tans the action Of Gov Swami, and condemns
thYt OF Judge Bond The whole case has
been patiently examined be one Of the judges
Of the highest court in the State, deliberately
argued by counsel on both sides, and after de-
libcrate consideration this result has been
reached Upon the charge OF conspiring to
commit simply breach Of peace, the new
Commissioners were required to enter their
own recognizances to answer, but upon the
main points of the case, involving the relative
rights of the old and The new Commissioners,
the propriety of the action Of the Governor
aud that the Judge Of tic Baltimore Grim

appointed by Gov. Swami to give bail not to
exercise the functions o. their Office, the deei
sion &c Judge Bartol is clearly, explicitly, and
in favor of the new Commissioners
aud against Judge Bond. I'D a

old force who are willing to do duty under
them 1t is not known what course the old
Board will now pursue; whether they will &C
the situation and regard themselves as
lawfully displaced, or further contest the cues

they refuse 10 surrender the property, funds,

Board wilresort to Il madamus. %
The present position of affairs causes no ex-
;ite1nent, and all parties seem disposed to re-
gard the decision as a final settlement of the-I

The Richmond Enquirer speaking of the
Constitutional Amendment, well says The
'easops of the Southern people for opposing
be amendment are few and simple: In the |
lrst. place it operates to our disadvantage. A
nan can submit to an evil when imposed by
'theis, but g vote for it would send him to an
lsylun. IN the second place, it puts under
best citizens, for merely doing
be will of the rest,-a discrimination which,
n the judgmentlof, auy honorable ian, it would |
