Washington, Oct. 19-The contest over
the Baltimore Police Commissioners is excit-
ing much interest here, in view of the posi-
bility that the President may be called on by
the Governor to interfere. Gov. Swami will
probably remove the Commissioners as he
sympathizes strongly with the element seek
ing their removal. He is, nevertheless, eau
tious and slow-moving man, and does not
wish to jeopardize his chances for the United
States Senate. The Commissioners will resist
the Governors action on the ground that they
cannot be removed except by regular trial
and conviction, and they will undoubtedly as
sert their position by the force under their
control The offence of the Commissioners
seems to be that they appoint Judges of the
election who enforce the Registry Law so
stringently that returned rebels and Southern
sympathizers cannot register themselves with
out committing perjury.
The Government Printing Office
The propretors of private printing offices
of this city to-day entered protest at the
Treasury Department against the eight-hour
system which on Saturday was established by
the Columbia Typographical Society and has
been in force at the Government Printing
Bureau since Monday. The practice of the
Government in such cases has been to regu-
late the compensation according to that paid
by private employers. Therefore, in conse-
quence of this protest, the Treasury Depart
ment refuses to pass the bills of the Superin-
tendent of Public Printing. In other words,
as the private offices refuse to grant the eight
hour system, it is not accorded by the Gov
eminent. In consequence Of this denial, the
printers at the Government Printing Bureau
refused to work.
The Cotton Regulations.
A delegation from North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, numbering about eighteen persons,
waited on the Commissioner of Internal Re-
venue this morning with view to having a
change made in the regulations issued by
that officer governing the shipment of cot
ton.

soners of the United States have now all been

sion of Congress. az 9a'a' ~
