The BALTIMORE Police CoMS1ssIoNERs.-
Special dispatches from Annapolis give many
incidents showing the obstinate and vindictive
spirit manifested by Governor Swami In his
speech at the opening of the trial he declared
that the case would be disposed of by Wednes-
day next, at the farthest although at least three
days viii be occupied in examining the wit
nesses already summoned by the prosecution.
and plainly intimated his purpose to close the
investigation as soon as the evidence for the
prosecution is all in, if he should feel so dis
posed. He also significantly said that he should
not allow his action in the promises to be re-
viewed by any judicial tribunal, but only by
the legislature of the State. Ii this is his fix
ed resolution, and the President is resolved to
hurry the military support, it is difficult TO
perceive how a conflict can be avoided. The
Baltimore American has expressed the eonvic-
tion that the Governor, even if he should re-
move the present commissioner RS, would not at
tempt tosustain their successors by force. In
recent issue that paper said:
Messrs. Hindes and Woods will, if appointees
OF Governor Swami should present their ere
dentials to them, tell them that they do not
recognize the authority of the Governor to re-
move them without trial and conviction by n
competent tribunal. They will tell them that
they will submit to the decision OF the courts
in the matter, and warn them that if they in
the meantime attempt to exercise any authori-
ty in the city by virtue of their commissions
they Will be compelled to arrest them as dis
turbers of the peace. In this they will be liter
ally following the example of Governor Swami,
when Mayor of the city, and the Governor will
be bound to submit now as the Police Board
did then
Under such train of circumstances as we
have supposed the new appontees of Govern
or Swami would get out Il adi,danlus and take
the case before Judge Martin, who would give
them prompt hearing III he decided against
Messrs. Woods and Hindes, they would then
carry the case to the Court of Appeals for final
adjudication; and if the decision should be
against the new appointees they could appeal
to the same high tribunal for redress.
The declaration of the Governor that he will
not allow his actions to be reviewed by the
courts, diminishes our confidence in these fay-
orable predictions He cannot, of course, pre-
vent the ultimate adjustment of the question
of jurisdiction by the tribunals of the land, but
he has it in his power by obstinate persistence
in his own claims to preeipitate a conflict which
may have the most widespread and disastrous
results.

Philadelphia Union League.

OF local organizations, brought into ex-
istence by the war, none at any time occu-
pied the honorable prominence gained by
this patriotic body. Its important labors
and influence, in concentrating and direc-
ting public sentiment through the publica-
ton of loyal documents, by its liberal ex-
penditures for the organization of war regi-
ments, by the encouragement which it gave
to the public men who have enjoyed the
princely hospitality of its splendid house,
by the prestige of the many distinguished
names on its roll, the League has written a
chapter in the history of therebellion which
deserves to have been written by the city
which boasts possession of the Independence
Hall of 1776. The League held its annual
meeting on the 10th Dec, and the Secreta-
ry, the gifted American poet, George H.
Boxer, read the annual report, showing how
much the League had done toward carrying
the State at the last election The losses
by the recent fire have been repaired Two
hundred and eighty-nine members have
been chosen during the year, making the
aggregate list 1870 The income of the
League amounted to Ss5. 900; expenses.
$4,000 The report concludes as follows:
The general prosperity of the League was
never more fiattering than at present

England's Lethargy.


The English government appears at pres
ent to have fallen into dangerous condi-
tion of catalepsy. All Europe appears to
be arming for war. The armies of the
principal powers are being strengthened by
CONSUMPTION, and wonderful activity prevails
in their several war and navy departments.
But the English army cannot be raised
above 80, 900, with an uncertain contingent of
volunteers and militia. There is no organi-
zation to feed or take care of what force
might be depended upon. Parliament does
not vote a conscription and the people, es-
pecially the disfranchised manufacturing
classes and the Irish, would not submit to it.
There seems to be general want of rigor
in the central life, and the colonies are al
ways an expense and no source of material
aid in men or money England is rich
Foreign governments can borrow from her
heavy bankers, but her own railroads can
not. Public works are stopped for want of
funds England is no longer an influence
on the Continent, and her prestige has al
most wholly departed.

Affairs in Mexico,

Late advices state that the evacuation of
the large Mexican towns by the French
troops is now progressing rapidly-that the
seaport town of Mazatlan was left by them
on Nov. 1lth, when some hard fighting
took place, the French losing heavily in
in men and officers-that the Republican
government now again holds possession of
all the important ports on the Pacific coast,
except Tepic-that San Luis Potosi was to
be evacuated on the 22d November and
Zacatecas on the 27th-and that in no case,
thus far, have the Imperialsts made an at
tempt to hold an important town after the
departure of the French 1t is also said
that Maximilian, having received S25, ,OOO,-
600 from the clergy, with pledge of an
equal sum every year, as well as $40, 900, 900
from the merchants of Mexico, has issued
proclamation declaring that he will stay
in the country and shed the last drop of his
blood for the defense of the Mexican ma
tlonalty. 1t is scarcely expected that this
proclamation will retard the repossession of
the whole country by the Republican forces.
A rumor is current that Poririo Diaz and
Ortega had given in their adhesion to the
Empire, but no credit whatever is given to
this report
Thus it will be seen that it is rather doubt
ful if Maximilian has left Mexico, as here
tofore reported; and that affairs in that
country are as much in a muddle as ever
What the end will be, no one can now an
ticipate. Time alone will tell.

The "Rump" Congress.

The Cleap6eld Republican, and the Cop
perhead papers generally, have been in the
habit of styling Congress The Rump."
To all such we would most affectionately
commend the opening sentence of President
johnson message, to wit:
after brief interval the Congress of
the United States resumes its annual legis-
lative labors.
Perhaps, the late elections acted as an
''eye opener to A. j.. and hence he no
longer designates Congress as "a body hang
ing on the verge of the Governments as
Stunning to be Congress and, it is to be
hoped, when the blind ''bats' of the Cop
perhead press shall have become somewhat
accustomed to the bright light that was
shed over the land by the recent verdict of
the people, they too will discover that the
"Rump" Is really ''the Congress of the T.
nited States

Greenbaoks VS.. National Notes.

The last New York Bank Statement ex-
hibits certain humors in currency circula-
ton. Greenbacks are shown to hold a pre-
ference in public estimation, both at the
West and South. Remittances from the
South are almost exclusively in greenbacks,
as that currency is wholly used in moving
the cotton and tobacco. The West RENTS
to New York National Bank notes, as far
as possible, and retains the greenbacks.
Thus the greenbacks are getting scarce in
the metropolis, and the country currency
accumulates. The last bank statement
shows continued liquidation, the deposits
having declined s5,2l2, 1853. The loans
have fallen off So, S9l, GAL. The curious
fact is the continued decline in the legal
tenders, the amount of which is now down
to 500, ,946, 1857, showing that the reserve
has fallen more than thirty one millions
since last September.
