A REvOLUTIONARY SCHEME.

We learn that at the Radical caucus held
Saturday evening, the programme was pre-
sented declaring the State organisations
Of the ten excluded States to be unconstitu-
tional, and providing for the appointment Of
commissioners by Congress with power to
organize military forces, including blacks, for
the protection" Of the public interests, and
to call conventions for the purpose Of organ
izing State governments that shall be &C.
ceptable to Congress. This plan met
with some opposition, and was not adopted
finally, but lays over to an adjourned meet
ing Wednesday night next. The adoption
and execution by Congress Of such an in
famous Official national project will be an ac-
acknowledgement that the rebellion was sue
cess, that the Union was actually destroyed,
and that the precious life, and blood, and
treasure sacrificed in the war to crush out
the rebellion and preserve the Union was all
in vain. May this nation be preserved from
such humiliating position before the eyes Of
the world.

SO powerfully and artistically drawn in this

would have been avoided; but upon approach
ing the ship the Scotland put her helm to
port thus causing the vessels to come to-
gether. In the collision the Scotland had
her bow badly stove in and, after picking up
the remainder of the crew Of the ship, headed
back for New York, but the leaks gaining
so rapidly she was compelled to run ashore
on the Outer Middle, off Sandy Hook, to
prevent her from sinking, and where she still

Wallis Opera House-Grifith Gaunt

Everything is in readiness at Wallis Opera
House to bring out tonight the new play Of
Griffith Gaunt." The leading parts will be
sustained by the same persons who gave the
play its prestige in New York. The dra-
matte writer Of one Of the leading papers Of
that metropolis says:
"The character Of Kate Peyton is admi-
rably conceived, and to no better hands
could it have been entrusted than to those of
that charming actress, Miss Rose EYrISGE.
The character Of Griffith is peculiar one,
and one that is not easily managed. Mr.
MORTIMER, however, fully sustans his we'll
earned reputation as actor in it, and gives
evidence by his mastery acting Of hard
study"
Both these artists appear tonight at
Wallis Opera House, and the other parts are
in excellent hands, making on the whole a
stronger cast than at the New York Theatre.

The following, which has been signed BY

during the coming week to the House Of
Representatives:
The undersigned, citizens Of Baltimore,
return judges Of every election precinct in
said city, respectfully state to your honora-
bic body that at the late election held in No
vember we acted in conducting the election
for members Of the Fortieth Congress OF the
United States, as we'll as for other officers,
and that in the Second congressional district
Of Maryland, being in part in the first seven
wards Of our said city, the Hon. John L..
Thomas, jr., had 2,839 votes, which we be-
leve to have been all legal, according to the
requirements Of the Constitution Of Mary
land as last adopted. We also state that
Joseph Stewart, Esq, had, in the Third con-
gressional district Of Maryland, 4,56s votes.
which we believe also to have been all legal
votes, the same being deposited at the said
electlOn, hcCOrulnB W INV, ia thc ioot thh
teen wards Of said city, being the whole
Of said Third congressional district. We
further state that Stevenson Archer, had, in
the said Second congressional district, in the
first seven wards in the city Of Baltimore
5000 votes for member of the Fortieth Con
gress of the United States; and that Charles
Z. Phelps had, in the said Third district oil
Maryland, 5,545 votes for member Of the
same Congress. We further state that un
der the solemn obligations imposed by oul
once, that since the election and prior to
fully executing the certificates Of election
which the law calls for, we have become con
vinced that large majority Of the ballots
cast for said Archer and Phelps were SO cast
by persons disfranchised for disloyalty BY
the Constitution Of Maryland; and that al
though we are the judges Of the election w
may not be able to withhold our certificates
of election from the latter, we ore fully i'm
pressed with the belief that Messrs. Thoma'
and Stewart received large majority o
legal, loyal ballots cast, and that, therefore
they ought, in view Of these facts, to occup!
seats in the said Fortieth Congress.
It will be remembered that Thomas ant
Stewart were Republican candidates, an'
that Archer and Phelps were the conserva
| tive candidates.
