The ultimatun.

The object desired to be accomplished by the
dOminent party in Congress- appears not to be
10 force negro suffrage on the late rebel States,
but 10 unite in an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, giving representation to voters only, thus
greatly decreasing the representation in the House
of Representatives from these States, unless they
see proper to extend the privilege of the ballot to
the African race. This proposed article was of
fsred in both Houses on Monday last, in the Sem
ate By Mr.. Fessenden;, in the House by Mr.. Ste
vens, and in these words: "Article. -Represen-
tatves and direct taxes shall be apportoned among
the several States which may be included within
this Union according 10 their respective numbers,
cou ntihg the whole number Of persons in each
State, excluding Indians not taxed provided
that whenever the elective franchise shall be de-
MED or abridged in any State on account of race
or color, all persons Of such race or color shall
be excluded from the basis Of representation -
Should this amendmenfbe adopted, it would pos
sbly give Maryland one member less.

That moderation In all things Is Christian
virtue, and much 10 be praised, we admit but
Of late days our eyes and ears have become so
perfectly stated with il, applied in a political
sense, that we could almost wish the word sirick-
en- from our vocabulary Every Copperhead
Congressmen talks OF the beauties Of charity and
moderation towards tour misguided brethren OF
the South = every stump speech essayed BY
gentlemen Of the like ilk anywhere, connsels
moderation as regards traitors who were lately
in, arms against our government Copperhead
newspapers take up the theme, and counsel mod
crate measures towards those who have endeay-
.ored, through four long years of war and blood
shed, to overthrow our grand Temple of Liberty,
and to make our boosted principles of self govern
ment mockery and reproach. The sum and
substance Of all this is that these gentlemen would
have us forget all that those misguided men
have done; would have us hug traitors to our
bosom, and elevate them again as our rulers -
We cannot agree to any such proposition. W.
cannot forget the past, nor blot out from our re-
membrance the fact that while these men occu.
pied the high places of trust under our Govern
ment, they deliberately plotted its overthrow,
and when the contest came, how they gave all
their influence to drag State after State from its
moorngs in the Union, and to whirl it into the
cesspool of secession and rebellion, and in a po-
siti0n antagonistc to the government. II seems
to us that moderation toward snch is out of place
We would see treason punished-not petted.
Every day we hear of delegations of Southern
gentlemen, headed perhaps, by late General in
the Confederate army, forcing their way into the
reception room of the President, and protesting
great love for the old Union, and invoking him
to deal mildly with their section. Oh yes good
Union men are they. To hear them talk now
one would scarcely elieye that but few month;
ago, these very men were among the most bitter
enemies of the country-that they were the men
who led armies against Us. Shall they be for.
given for all their crimes in the past Let the
widows and orphans of our land ANSWERED.
the manned and wounded heroes, IA nation
pride and heritage) answer-let the loyal dead
that sleep on every battlefield, from Gettysburg
to Texas, answer. We know that some profess
eddy loyal men may be found preaching this mod
Grafton doctrine, but from such unionism excuse
US. fever the American Union is in reality de-
stroyed, twill be by its false friends, not by its
enemies. We rejoice ofcourse over every dispo-
sition on the part Of those lately in rebellion, to
renew their allegiance where it is properly due,
but at the same time we would see Treason
made odious, in order 10 deter all future geDer-
atoms from attempting the overthrow of our
Government. We believe in a Just Union, bat
it should also be strong one.

STRMMER's Run, Jan. 2lst, 1866.


Editors Union IL have read your article about
"Peat' in your last weeks paper. You are I'M
able to say, whether there are any deposits in
this State, but you say, you think it would most
probably be found in swamps, at the heads of
creeks making up from the bay.
You are correct in yocr supposition, for have
such deposit on my property, in a marsh on
North Fast Creek, nearly at the head of Back
river. ] have dug it four and five feet deep and
could not find the bottom so ! am unable 10 say
how thick the deposit may be, but the deeper, the
finer the quality gets. That marsh is over ten
acres, and it all underlaid with layer of FIVE
feet in thickness, and have no doubt it is more
il would contain 10000 cords of heavy Peat.
have tried it for manure, mixing it with
lime. 1t worked we'll but slowly, the trouble
being TO get il fine. The Jumps are too compact
to break easily, and the lime and airalo not de-
compose them fast enough. If cheap machines
for grinding it up, or for COMPRISING it for fuel
could be had, it would surely double the price of
every farm On which ii is found.
would be much pleased if you could give me
the address Of some factory or company making
or using them. Yours respectfully,
FELIX VAN RRUTH.

FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-A aboring man
named William McNinch, in the employ of the
Frederick Turnpike Company, was run over on
the Gainesville Passenger railway, in front OF his
residence, near the first toll-gate, about clock
on Saturday evening last. Passengers who were
upon the front platform of the car with the un-
fortunate man, state that the car was very much
crowded, and while ascending the gralle, near
the toll-gate, McNinch, without giving the con-
ductor or driver any notice of his inten ton, at
tempted to get off the car, and in SO doing slip
ped upou the ice, when both wheels of the car
passed over his right leg, crushing it so badly
ais to render amputation necessary Drs. IIelsby
and Linthicum were called I'm and performed the
amputation just below the knee. He only survi-
we'd the operation few hours, however, as he
died on Sunday morning about nine o clock
Coroner Townsend held an inquest, and the jury
rendered a verdict TO the effect that the death
was caused by accident exonerated the driver
and conductor of the car from all blame. De-
ceased was about thirty-sx years Of age and
leaves widow.

THE FERTILIZER
FOR sMARYLANDtLA

FOR MARYLAND L4NDS. E
DAUGH's RAW BONE PHOSPHATE con-
ID tanning So per cent. Of Phosphate of Lime,
and 4.0j per cent Of Ammonia. 1t should be
borne in mind that the Phosphate Of Lime in
this article being obtained exclusively from
RAW BONES and TRUE BIRD GtJANO,
there is no portion of it cooperative as in the
case of SUPER PHOSPHATE made from Mn
eral Guanos, but being entirely SOLUBLE in the
SOIL, continues to impart its fertilizing quail
ties to the CROPS for YEARS. IL
The Remarkable success which has attended
its use in MARYLAND7and parts of VIR-
GINA is a sufficient GUARANTY to induce
those who have not tried it to do so. TheGrain
Crops in this State where this FERTILIZER
has been applied. is supposed to have been in
creased from % to SO per cent. by its use, while
for TOBACCO and GRASS LANDS its success
has been equally decided.
The price in Baltimoreb is uniform with the
manufacturers Factory Price.

Hon. John L. Thomas. Jr.

AS the name of our member Of Congress did
not appear on the final vote on the District suf-
frage bill, we are pleased to learn that he puts
himself square on the record, by giving the fol-
lowing explanation
"Mr. John H. Thomas, Jr. Of Maryland, made
an explanation in effect that, on the afternoon of
the day the bill for extending sufragein the Dis
trict of Columbia was under discussion, he was
in the receipt of communication which made it
necessary for him to leave for Annapolis. The
train was to leave at 4.35, and he had to attend,
in that city, some business for his constituents
equal in importance to the suffrage BILL He vo-
ted in the House, to-day the bill on the table, and
voted against the motion to refer the bill with
Instructions He turned his eyes to the clock,
which lacked ten minutes of the starting time Of
the Annapolis train. When he left the hall it
was not with an intention of evading vote on
that bill. He thought he placed himself fairly
and squarely against negro suffrage, qualified or
universal. He now asked to record his vote
against the bill.''
Hon. Mr.. Thomas, Of Allegany, voted for the
measure, and Messrs. Mccullough and Phelps
againstit.

: Hon. JOHN l.. THoMAs.--It was our intention
to have alluded more fully to the course pursued
by our able and patriotic representative in Con-
gress from this District in our paper to-day, but
our space forbids. Suffice it to say, his course
meets with the appreciation of his loyal constit-
uents. His speech on The uniyegsal suffrage bill
in the District of Columbia, precluded the idea
of lodging the final vote on said bill, and was
so understood by those he represents.
