THE MARYLAND TROUBLE.

In the contest between the police Com
missioners of Baltimore and Gov Swami
the plot daily thickens, and the evidence Of
a conspiracy between the President and his
shadow of shade, and supple tool, Gov.
Swami, hourly becomes more clear. That
the President is at the bottom Of and insti-
eating Gov. Swann's efforts to defy the
laws Of the State, scarcely admits Of doubt
in view of the frequent interviews between
them, and the indecent haste shown by the
Governor in his efforts to remove the legally
appointed Commissioners at the first de-
mand of the disfranchisedr rebels The bone
of contention is the registry law passed du-
ring the rebellion and disfranchising rebels
and deserters. This law alone saved the
Maryland Legislature from falling into the
hands of rebels, and Maryland from sece-
ding as did the other slave States. 10 it
also Gov. Swami, himself owes his election.
but he has since, ike his accidental proto-
type, betrayed the loyal men who raised him
to power and now undertakes to subyert a
clear law Of the State, for the purpose of
carrying the Baltimore elections for mem
bers of the State Legislature and eleeting
conservative rebels, thus securing a rebel
majority in the Legislature and the elc.tion
Of himself to the United States Senate
for the purpose Of upholding the Presidents
policy. This is the real secret of the Coy
ernor's indecent haste in forcing the trial of
the Commissioners, as well as, of the Presi-
dents completely in the nefarious plot. The
crime of the Commissioners consists in the
faithful discharge of their duty of appoint
ing Judges of election who faithfully obeyed
the registry law and refused the votes Of all
persons disfranehised by the same. This
resulted in the election of a loyal city govern
ment in Baltimore. For this mortal offence
against rebels and traitors, Gov. Swami un-
dertakes to remove them from Office with

In 1867 Wnen bUGHG were Oulg 5yo" FOtCo
poled, when twenty five per cent. Of the
Republican party was in the army, the ma
iorit7 ran up to GAL; since then it has not
exceeded 275, save in 1864 when it was 416.
In 1868 We polled the heaviest vote that has
ever been polled previous to the late cleo
ton, and then the majority stooda "a at
the late election the vote exceeded by 800
any vote previously cast, when both parties
fully developed their strength, and instead
Of an increase on the majority of 1868 there
was a loss Of 80 votes beside the usual per
cent. of increase. These are the best figures
in the whole table for our Copperhead
friends. IF the vote Of 1862 is taken as a
basis, when the majority was GAL, their loss
is 397 iflS64 should be taken, when they
beat US 4l6, their loss was 172 The vote in
1865, when we were beaten I48, according
to our figures, was very little Of a test, as
they lost the advantage Of their disfranchised
population in all districts controlled by the
Republicans, but at the late election they
did not lose one vote more than we did, and
we are under the impression that we lost
votes by their rejection in some districts, as
all Copperheads were transferred to districts
under their control, while the Republicans
remained to be rejected All these figures
show clearly to the unbiased mind that Re
publicanism is slowly but surely sapping
away the Copperhead majority, and the day
is not far distant when Bedford county, di-
vested Of its ignorance, win ignore the blind
adhesion to a name, and place itself on the
side of right and intelligence.
The above figures show in a conclusive
manner the obstinacy with which this coun-
ty is generally contested. There is no other
county in the State where there is uniformly
such an effort as here The late contest was
one long to be remembered Greater effort
was made, more money was spent, more
rascality practiced, more speeches made,
more display than in one half the other
counties in the district, and with all this VIC
came out of the contest much better than
we did on any full vote ever cast before in
the county Is this not enough to make US
hopeful? The last Court gave Common
Schools to Southampton Truly the world
moves, and in few years the fruits viii
roll back to US and sweep Copperheadism,
orthe element which is growing out of it,
into the common gulf which swallows up
the fouliniquity ofthe world, and leave u~a
pure and regenerated county, free from the
communicating touch Of party that blights
as it advances, andwhose only epitaph viii
be EVER TRUE TO THE INTERESTS OF SLA-
VERY.

WADE HA AMPToN's LOYALTY.

The Massachusetts, democrats lately rasol-
we'd in Fanouil Hall, among other things,
that they believed the people in the South
lately in arms, manifest sincere repen-
tance for their offences against the Consti-
tuition, and that they have in good faith
submitted 20 the laws 'of the land Re-
pentance, we must remark in passing, is
more than VIC have for our own part ever
expected or been disposed to exact Of the
Southern people. We do not expect them
to show any strong conviction Of their own
wrong doing as the result ola sound beating
and we think there are much sounder foun-
dations for a reconstructed Union than pro
fessions Of such conviction. However,
repentance is the word used by our Mas
sachusetts democrats; they think the peo
pie in the South, lately in arms, manifest
a sincere repentance.
Now General Wade Hampton has lately
made a speech in Pickens District, South
Carolina. He is a rather good test cause Of
Repentance, for he was himself one Of
the people lately in arms and represents
his fellow citizens SO well that he narrowly
escaped being elected governor under pro-
test. But we are constrained to say that
any Massachusetts democrat who should
mention repentance to Wade Hampton
would be very likely to have his nose tweak-
ed for impertinence Wade Hampton has

not The slightest idea of repenting He
denies altogether that he aud his associates
in rebellion have ever done anything to re-
pent Of The United States government,
be thinks, needs repefltanc and purgatlon
of sin, but not 50 the defenders OF the lost
cause. The North, he says bitterly, requires
of the South that she must declare that
she has sinned and like a repentant child
she must hRInby sue for forgiveness.
But he rejects the demand with scorn. 1T
men like him have been guilty of anything
it is treason; but he exelahus, shall 8e
submit to the shame which would cling to
us forever If we admit that we have been
guilty OF tIeason2 He viii accent the
situation, that IS as he understands it,
but do not talk to him about repentance!
But, our democratic friends add, these
men who have repenge4 have also IN good
faith submitted TO the lawsof the land
General Hampton asSeverates the same
thing, with due flourish aud profession OF
sacred honor and the Ike. We shall not
now call In question the good faith Or
genuineness OF this submission, but Ee nn-t
be permitted point ont that as General
Hampton explains matters. the terms OF the
submission may not be understood by the
parties In quite the same way w as the
she ever was, and challenge hen most biz
ter enemy to adduce one single instance 10
which she has been THE South is, and
ever has been, loyal 10 the proper sense
Of the word Coupling this denial that
the South was ever disloyal with the repu-
diatian Of the Charge Of treason, we may
well doubt how much Is meant by suhnis-
sion in good faith to the laws Of tbe land
rendered by a Ran like Wade Hampton
He viii not admit that he can by possibility
be more loyal than he has been hitherto.
We can only say that. If so, the quality Of
his loyalty does not strike US iavorably. So
far from that, it appears to us that the Uni
ted States now need submission in which
it is thoroughly understood on both sides
that loyalty is not compatible with deliber-
/ ate rebellion and that such rebellion is trea-
| son, and treason an 'odious crime.-B0s-

\ rEw PLAIN FIGURES.

Every community has tscroakers; a class
Of individuals who stand ever ready to mag
Nifty or decry a cause or effort, to paint It IN
It's worse eolors or to laud it to the skies
and il were strange indeed if this community
should be entirely exempted from them
But we know It Is not and it Is hardly pro-
bable that it ever will be. There IS an Old
saving that tthe fools are not all dead yet,
which appears as apt-to-day sit aid II the
days of our fathers, and We are admonished
to believe that the cIownish class is on the
increase instead of diminishing as everybody
has anneared to think would be She case.
It is evident that if there is ousfeldaboy
another in which these croakeEs OF fools
seem to roveI it is the political. 4 Hedsling
who mas scarce seen his majority, assumes to
himself all the airs Of a politician, and Ae
imagines that upon his shoulders rests The
great cause Of the country, forthwith hepr0-
pbesies this that and the other as if he knew
by his own efforts that a certain result would
be ACCOMPLISHED, and when the result IS re
ceiyed. he learns to his discontinue, that he
simply knew nothing about the facts, and
that he had reokoned without his host.
There is another class Of croakors who eroak
to bolster up their cause N direct violation
of truth. This class is less excusable than
the former, if not as numerous.
Bedford county instead Of being an ezeep-
ton to the rule, has larger proportion Of
these croakers than any other portion Of the
State. Immediately proceeding or follow
ing an election, we are treated to column af-
ter column, besides sidewalk demonstrations
innumerable as to what Bedford county VIII
do or can do. She can give twelve, eleven,
ten, nine, eight, seven. six hundred Copper
head majority, according to the tempera-
ment or experience Of tho eroalo"- \
year or two ago it was confidently asserted
that the majority would be carried up to
twelve hundred, while in the late campaign
it was never put at less figures than six nun
dred, and yet there is only one instance in
the whole history of the county, at least for
ten years, that the majority exceeded six
hundred as will be seen by the following
