WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
The Troubles in Maryland aud
Louisiana.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

New YoRK, Oct. "a.
"a Washington special to the Times says the
proclamation of Gov. Swami is fully approved
by the President, and should it be necessary
for him TO call for aid in maintaining peace and
order and inforcing his legal authority, it will
be promptly furnished.
In the case Of the threatened resistance in
Louisiana by the "Boys in Grey" to the author
ity OF the government in that State, in the re-
moval of sheriffs, the same course win be per
sued, but it is hoped that in both cases the ne
cessity may not arise. 7F7' - -
The same correspondent also says in regard
TO Mexican affairs that our Government has
refused to grant an extension of time to the
French Government for the removal of their
troops, and insist that it shall commence at
once and proceed as rapidly as possible in re-
moving them. f.r, ~
In view Of the anarchy prevalent in Mexico,
our Government will be prepared to protect
the Juarez Government and finally establish it,
In consequence of this Lower California and
the northern part of Sinatoa and Chipaupau
are to be ceded to the United States No
agreement has been made by our Government
to guarantee French claims against Mexico,
but should it appear expedient It will not hesi-
tate to do so. The enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine and the establishments of stable re-
publican government in Mexico are considered
Of paramount importance. The matter has
been fully discussed in Cabinet and unanimous
ly agreed upon. - 7s sfqsl 5-#1 .5l5t h ..ili7r

Claims ON England for Tsesfituiion---T The
New York Times, Version.

--. =. -. #.. .f.s. NEW YORK, OcB. lf.r
The Times special says relative to the claims
against England for damages by rebel pirates,
in regard to our affairs with England growing
out of the depredations during the late war of
the privateers Alabama and Shenandoah: Mr..
Adams, our Minister to the court of ST. James.
was someSime since instructed to make q per-
emptory demand for indemnity for the losses
sustained by our commercial interests. To this
demand Mr. Adams received an evasive reply.
He was Immediately instructed to repeat the
demand He did SO, but no definite response
has yet been received, but the tone of the Eng
Gsh newspapers recently received, indicates
that these renewed and persistent demands
have not been without effect. The British
government is now putting feelers in their va
rious organs, showing their disposition in the
matter. From this it appears that they are
willing to submit the claims to arbitration or to
a Board Of National Commissioners. Our
Government will accept no arrangement of
that sort, but will insist on prompt and full
payment Of the claims. This Is our ultimatum
as contained in the instructions under which
Mr.. Adams is now acting. 60.

FmE.-Abouts o'clock Wednesday morning,
fire broke out in one of the blocks of tenement
houses on Canal Street, opposite the Glass
Works, erected by the Executive Committee
for the relief of sufferers by the great fire Of
July 4th. The block, containing six families,
was destroyed, and two other blocks were
slightly scorched. Nearly all of the furniture
was saved. 1t is supposed the fire caught from
a defect in the chimney, though some are of
opinion it was set on fire. The building was
insured for $3.50, at the agency of John Dow,
Esq. Id 4 gsa-.si + 5s saIias .itl.
The alarm sounded was similar to all those
we have had lately, and was good for nothing,
as it was some time before the fremsn knew
which way to take their machines Such
state of things should not exist, and it is the
duty of the Committee on Fire Departments
to perfect, forthwith, complete system Of

Martha Wnshinaton Society.
TwENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.

This society, known for the past twenty-five
years as the Martha Washington, presents its
annual report to the public, and we are able to
record with gratitude the continued concord
and prosperity, illustrating show good and how
pleasant it is to dwell together in unity"
We have held, the year just closing, forty
meetings, with an average attendance Of TWEEN
ty, the largest number present at any one meet
ing being forty-f while nine have been add
ed to our number. ft r
Many since the great fire, are Obliged to
seek temporary homes elsewhere, thus dimin-
ishing the general attendance. We have re-
ceived two hundred applications from desti-
tute families, and have distributed to the wor-
thy p or 272 yards Of factory cloth; 248 yards
print; 257 yards delaine; 20 yards all wool
goods; 48 yards silesia; 8 shawls; hoods; 8
pairs socks; 80 pairs boots and shoes; SIS in
money to the infrm and helpless; and 105 ready
made garments; and in most cases each re-
cipient has been visited by members Of the So
ciety.
The fund left in our care for the benefit of
soldiers and their families has, in every in
stance, been devoted to them exclusively, and
articles of clothing from the Sanitary Commit
tee left in the hands Of our Treasurer, have
been distributed to the amount Of q flannel
and cotton shirts; 10 pairs wooden and 10
pairs cotton drawers; 6 towels; 4 pocket hand
kerchiefs and one pair mittens. ASA s.54 .tI
Independents of our general fund, there have
been some three hundred secondhand gar
transferred to the sufferers by the late confla-
grafton. These with our little balance Of mon
ey, were only saved from the general ruin by
a. sob. sacrificing efforts of our worthy Treas
urer, whose home was then wrapped m names.
Entirely unendowed, the variations in our re-
ceipts have at times proved source of embar-
rassment. But the past teaches us to be salts
fed, knowing there still live among us individ-
ual donors, whose hands are ever open to do
"good to the poor for Christs sake" And it
seems proper, in this connection to renew our
thanks to all kind friends, trusting we cannot
be overlooked, with an increase Of applications
from many who never before knew want And
in a very special manner do we remember the
Little Cleaners" on Mount Joy, who came
to our relief with the handsome sum of one
hundred dollars replenishing our empty treas
ury. "'
The success of our society falls short of our
wishes. Yet in making our report our feelings
are those which inspire the hope, and encour-
age the prayer, that Gods blessing may be ours

1T. The difference between q Republican
and coppezhead consists in this: The for
mer wants TO elevate aud educate all class.s
poor and ignorant people, black a. well as
"hlte. His principle is, 10 Level upwards, to
raise thc 1owly and pour light and knowl-
edge into the minds Of the masses, IN order to
dlspel Ignorance, prejudice and malcro1cnce.
The latter wants to pull down those above
him and trnmple on those below him. In
other words, to level downwards. His
method Of maintaining superiority over 9TH
crs Is to employ brute force to prevent in,-
provemcnt and progress. Hence, churches
aud school houses, a. means of moral and in
tcllectual advancements, are consigned To the
flames, and those who use them are
mobbed or massacrcd; while, on the other
hand, rum holes and fifth arc tutclar dcilies
worshiped, multiplied and patronizcd. A
city where Coppcrhcadism dominates, Is not
capable of maintaining civilized sc|Egoyera-
mcnt, as the history Of Now York and Mem
phis prove, and 1t becomes necessary for the
people Of the more civilized and law abiding
sural districts to take charge Of the prescrya-
t1on ollie and property, and keep the peace
therein
