The TROUBLE IN BALTIMORE.

The state OF Maryland, has been on the
verge of civil war, from the high-handed
measures of Gov. SWAMI, in removing the
Police Commissioners of the city of Balti-
more :. This usurpation of power was de-
termined or. by the Governor for the pur-
pose Of controlling the election of Tuesday
last. The form of trial was gone through
with, although it was evident from the out
set that the whole affair was but pretext
to give the coloring of law to an act which
the Governor had already decided upon
The Commissioners were removed from
office, and new Commissioners appointed,
and at one time a collision seemed ineyita-
bic, between the Union men and returned
rebel soldiers and rowdies. President
JOHNSON sympathizing with the rebels, it is
alleged, was ready to furnish troops to put
down the Union men, and Gen. GRANT has
been in Baltimore for some days. The
trmness and forbearance of the Union mel
have prevented collision, and we trust
that all danger OF an outbreak is now past
On Saturday, the new Commissioners
were arrested on charge of unlawfully
conspiring, and committed to jail, a writ Of
habeas corpus having been sued out, had
not been returned at latest accounts. Geu
GRANT is endeavoring to effect compro.
mise, by which all the difficulties shall be
amicably settled.
Since the outbreak of the rebellion nc
more fragrant and daring attempt has been
made to elevate treason and punish loyal
men, than this act of Gov. SwANN's. That
it has failed, is due to the unfinching cour
age of the Union men of Baltimore, who saw
in its succe SIS the return of rebel misrule
and outrage.

The INTERNAL REVENUE appears that
Notwithstanding the reductions and exemp,
tions made by the new internal revenue
law. the receipts for the four months ending
October 31st exceed by million of dollars
those of the corresponding months of last
year, the totals for the period named in
1866 being 1925, PSI, ,543.14 against 1924,
Isl ,409.29 in 1875. The month of October
however, shows decline of 81 600, ,0O0, but
on the whole the Treasury suffers less than
was anticipated from the relief wisely ex-
tended to many productive interests With
return indicating an internal revenue of

quires wise craftsmanship to extricate her.
self from the pecuniary burdens imposed
by the war. The people of the loyal States
are nobly sustaining their country, fnanci-

the wonderful contrast between the Admin

resulted in another Republican triumph,
John Tafe, the Radical candidate for Con-
gress, receiving seven hundred and forty
eight majority. There is a Republican ma
jority of nineteen on joint ballot in the Leg

enhanced by the probable admission of Ne

priest, and Mr. Lynche, and their sentence
to be hung by the Canadian Courts, have
created no little sensation among the Fen
ians and even other citizens of the United
States. The Canadians and the home gov
ernment Of Great Britain, were very ready
to preach clemenCy from us towards the
rebels who had caused thousands of deaths
and made most gigantic effort to destroy
the Government but when few Irishmen
invade their territory and cause the death
of half a dozen, they must swing, and all
the Canadians oppose clemency. They do
not propose to follow their own teachings
They call for rigid enforcement of the law
and, whether priest or layman, the often
ders must feel the heavy arm of British
power. How all the civilized world must
laugh over the weakness of great Repub-
lie which cannot even try the most guilty
traitors that ever lived, while England
promptly tries and condemns the leaders of
a regiment of invaders who, to say the
worst, are not guilty of attempting to de-
stroy their own country. The position Of
these cases is very suggestive.

FINANCIAL s COMMERCIAL.

SATURDAY EvESISG, August II, 1866.
The week closes up quietly in financial
matters. Gold had a rather firmer market
in New York to-day, and advanced a frac-
ton, closing at14S5, but the market is quite
free from exciting influences. Those in
terested in a higher premium find their
operations to this end materially interfered
with by the heavy shipments of gu national
securities, and their efforts to put up the
price by making coin scarce are effective
only to a very moderate degree, and indeed
seem to do little else than prevent a decline
The New York market for government
securities was less active to-day, and our
dispatches report less firm, but the few quo
tations given leave US without definite
knowledge as to how far, or in what direc-
ton, prices generally have been affected.
The operations in the national securities in
the New York market during the week have
been unusually heavy, toward which the
very favorable exhibit of the national
finances, officially promulgated on the Sd
inst, was an important stimulant. The
business in the public funds has been main
ly for home Investment account, save in the
instance of the 5-2Os of 1852, which have
been eagerly bought for export, and which
holders have freely exchanged for
the 5-2Os of 1865. The latter bear the same
liberal rate of coin interest as the earlier
issue, and have absolutely nearly three
years longer to run before the redemption
option of the Government shall have become
operative. Hence they are deemed by a
increasing number of home buyers !

as the better investment OF the
two. Large conversions of August
Seven-thirties into the new Five
twenties have been made during the week.
The supply of the ) 2Os of 1862 is unusual
ly light, and foreign buyers have had to
make steady advances in their bids to bring
put the bonds which they needed for ship
ment. The bonds yield an annual interest
of nearly nine per cent, on the basis of the
ruling price of gold. Tho six per cents of
1881 nave become extremely scarce in the
open market, and probably no round lots
could be purchased without causing a fur
Their rise in the price. The ten -forties
touched par on Thursday, on a brisk de-
mand, which was only partially satisfied
as the bonds were not sufficiently abundan
at the current figures. They have not been
