MR.. DAVIS AND GEN. LEE.


The Baltimore Transcript says: We are
not surprised to hear that the gallant soldiers
of the United States repudiate the ferocious
spirit which. calls for the execution OF JET
fsrson Davis and General Lee. They nat
orally feel, as far as the latter is concerned,
that their personal honor Is involved IN
mai ataining the terms OF the parole accord
ed by Gen. Grant 10 Gen. Lee, and the con.
ditions of which, on Gen. Lees part, have
been religiously observed. Besides all this,
the pure and exalted character OF Gen. Lee
has won the respect and admiration Of all
brave and high minded men. II is well
known that he engaged most reluctantly in
the resistance 60 the general government,
and thar nothing but his sense Of duty to
his native State. to whom he believed that
his supreme allegiance was due, and his
aaturai sympathies with his own people in
such a trial, prevailed upon him 20 respond
10 thesearnest call which Virginia made for
mis- assistance. man OF more generous
and humane character, q christian gentle
man of more sPotless virtue, does mt live
upon the eal til than Robert l.. Lee, to whom
General Grant has promised the protection
OF the government as long as he observes
the terms OF his parole. and who has never
since that moment violated. either IN letter
or ia spirit, the terms OF that engagement.
Nor do We believe the soldiers Of the
United States desire 10 see the emacisled
and almost dying prisoner at Fort Monroe

United States had no fears Of Mr.. Davis in
the pieaitude Of his powers. and still les. Of
him now, when be is as helpless aad as

Negro Suffrage.

Bg@"This much we do demand for
the negro: that before the law and at
the ballot box he should have full and
complete equality with the white man. ,
So says the Cambridge Did. Mtc!N-
gencer, one of the most honest of the
Radical papers of the State, notwith-
standing his party is now pretending to
be opposed to negro suffrage. Yet they
all favor the proposed amendment Of the
Constitution which holds QUO the strong
est inducement to the South to grant
suffrage to the blacks, or lose represen-
tatives in Congress, our own State inclu-
ded. No one can mistake why the pro-
position is made in that form. The
greatest legal minds of the country de-
clare it unconstitutional for Congress
to attempt to regulate suffrage in the
States, and so clear was it that many
radicals in Congress hesitated, render
ing it necessary for the committee on
reconstruction to resort to this new
dodge; which, whilst it appears not to
infringe ON the free will of the States,
must always cripple theinfuence of the
South in Congress whilst encountered
with so numerous black population
unless she can agree to admit them to
full equality at the ballot box. This
they will never voluntarily do; and it
will be their policy to get rid of much of
that population, by inducing them to go
to Africa, Or spread themselves North
ward, thus allowing room for white set
tiers, and thus equalizing representa-
ton. The Radical plan is most cum
ningly devised, after six months study,
and would have done credit to the infer
nal council over which Lucifer is said
to preside. How Marylanders can sup
port it, and yet say they are opposed to
negro suffrage is astonishing. &

THE WAR TN EUROPE.

The Italian army, which crossed the
Mincio, under King Victor Emanuel
and General La Marmora, suffered a
severe defeat near Verona on the 18th
ult. and has recrossed the Mincio. 1t
seems to have been an indiscreet move
ment, as they advanced within the IA
nous quadrilateral formed by four of
the strongest fortresses of the Austrians
in that quarter now connected by the
best defences. The Italians numbered
about eighty or ninety thousand, and
were most likely outnumbered. Gen.
Cialdini with 10000 men was advanc-
ing on the South, and Garabaldi with
10000 to the North, but both will be
stopped by this disaster. 1t will prove
a Bull Run affair to the ardent Italians,
and show them that it will require time,
patience and discipline to succeed in the
arduous business of war. The Austrians
call it the battle of Custozza.
In the North the Prussians have sue
ceeded in over running the Northern
part of Germany, and securing its sup
port and have invaded the Austrian
province of Bohemia with 100000 men
under the Grown Prince An impor-
tant battle was imminent. The Aus
TRANS, under Marshal Benedek, appear
to be waiting On attack in this quarter
also.

NOTICE.

At a meeting of the State Central
Committee of the Union Party, of this
State, held in Baltimore May 10Th 1866,
the following resolution was passed.
ResolUed, That the Unconditional Union
men of the State are requested to meet in
their respective counties, and in the city of
baltimore, by Convention, ON the THIRD
WEDNESDAY OF July, to appoint Delegates
to meet in State Convention, to be held in
the City of Baltimore, on the fourth We'd
nesday in July, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidate for Comptroller; and also
to appoint Delegates to meetin their respec-
tive congressional, districts to nominate can
didates to represent them in Congress.
We hereby give notice that the Union
men Of Carroll county, who adhere to
the regular organization of the Party,
and sustain the course of President
johnson and Gov. Swami, will meet in
Convention atthe Court House in West
minister, on Wednesday the 18th. day
of July inst. at 2 o'clock P. M. to ap-
point delegates in accordance with the
aforegoing resolution-six to the State
Convention, and six to the Congression-
al Convention-and also attend to 9TH
er important business of the Party.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION

On our first page will be found the
call for National Union Convention
to be held at Philadelphia, on the 18th
of August next; and in another column
we publish also the endorsement of the
same by the Democratic members of
Congress generally. We are glad to
see Democrats approve of this Conven-
ton, and we trust they will recognize it
as step necessary to draw together,
and unite in the coming elections, all
who are opposed to the desperate and
dangerous policy of the Radicals. Had
the political parties and factions opposed
to the Republicans in 1860 been united
our country could have been saved from
the awful calamities it has siace suf
fered. Should every thing now opposed
to the radical Republicans be united fol
the future the country may be rescued
from still greater calamities.
There is one feature in this Conven-
ton which is very important. It gives
to the people of the South the first
chance to meet their brethren of the
North, and participate in great DELHI
erative assemblage. They have been
spurned by Congress, and denied the
opportunity to make known their true
sentiments, or to have voice in making
the laws that govern them. We hope
to see them represented in this conven
ton, and believe they will put to shame
their opponents who still doubt theil
loyalty.
We observe with pleasure that they
approve the Convention, and will senG
delegates.

Charge ofLarcenx.

On Saturday last, two persons, known
as Glpsles, named Charles Hoffman and
his wife Rosa, were arrested near this
place by High Constable Heusner on a
warrant issued by Jesse Frysinger, ESQ.,,
Justice of the Peace, on charge made
before said Justice, by Mr.. Jacob Myer-
~ of having stolen out of his house. in
Carroll County, Maryland, s17O, in
money, besides one quilt, two shirts and
several other articles. The whole of
the property was found in possession of
the accused, the money having been
safely secreted, as supposed, by the fair.
Rosa, in her bosom which, however. did
not escape examination from the intru-
sion of the Constable. The accused
made defence before the Magistrate
that they obtained the money and arti-
cler from the prosecutor and his family
for services rendered to prosecutor 5
daughter for the cure of a cancer with
which she was afflicted, by the art Of
Sympathy of which art the Maa;s-
trate seemed to have no faith. and as =
was in evidence before him that Char.
ley had been in the room in said house
where there was small chest cont,in
ing the money, three times, the last
time quite alone, he having stated to
the family that it was absolutely neces.
sary for perfecting a cure that no person
should be present, and his defence be-
ing also disproyed the Magistrate COM

He made a powerful Speech an hours

giving a recital of the wrongs being
perpetrated in his State; warning the
people against the radicals of Congress;
and showing that the only way to bring

THE CONVENTIONS.

La the call Published by Mr.. Purnell,
President, and Mr.. Findlay, Secretary,
for all voters of this State who sustain
President johnson, to meet in their res
pective counties to appoint delegates to
the State and Congressional Conven-
tions, it is suggested that the various
County Conventions shall also authorise
their delegates to the State Convention
of the 18th. inst. to send delegates to
the proposed National Convention to
meet at Philadelphia on the 18th of Au-
gust Wespresume it has reference to
the appointment of four Delegates from
the State at large. The two Delegates
from each Congressional district will
doubtless be appointed at the Congress
sional Conventions.
We would again urge upon the con-
servative Union men of this county the
Importance of being represented in the
county Convention which is to meet on
the 18th inst Now is the time for
them to show where they stand; ana if
they have ftsith in President johnson
and Governor Swami, let them show it
by their acoa,ks, and come out from
among the Radicals at once.

Reinlsardt the sculptor.

We refer to notice of this distin-
guished son of Carroll county, copied
from the Baltimore Gazette, which will
be found on our first page this week
having been unavoidably crowded out
last week by press Of advertisements
Mr.. Reinhardt is the son of Israel
Reinhardt living near Union Bridge,
Carroll county; and it will doubtless be
gratifying to our citizens to learn that
he has attained to the highest distinc-
ton in the classic art Of Sculpture,
learned in the eternal city of Rome,
where for many centuries all that were
great in that line have graduated.
