REGISTRATION LAW.
PROPOSED STATE CONVENTION.
Invitation to Appoint Delegates.


A T meeting held for consultation by a
N number of conservative citizens of Balti-
more city and other parts of the State, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, By the operation of the Regis
try Law of the State of Maryland large ma
ority of, the people are DISTINGUISHED, and it is
in opposition to all ideas of republican liberty
that the citizen should be taxed and governed
without representation therefore be it
ReSolUed. That, for the purpose of obtaining
united expression of sentiment on this sub
ject and of renledying the evil through the in
strumentality of the Legislature, about to as
semble, or of devising such other measures as
may be deemed best adapted to accomplish the
object in view, the people of The different coun-
ties of the State and of the city Of Baltimore,
who are opposed to the Registration Law, are
invited to call at once Primary Meetings, and
through them to appoint delegates, equal in
number to those elected TO the House of Dele
gates, to meet in Convention in the city Of Bal
timore on the oath of january, inst.
tits to be regretted that this notice is entire
ly too short to hold Primary Meetings in the
different Election Districts in Baltimore coun-
ty, and elect delegates to County Convention;
at the same time it is highly important that
the county should be represented in the State
Convention.
1t is therefore earnestly recommended that as
many friends of the measure from the different
Districts as can conveniently do so lowing to
the shortness of the notice,) will attend meet
ing to be held at
TOWSONTOWN,
on Monday, ,JuaWafy 22d 1866,
at ~ O'clock, NJ,
for the purpose of selecting I delegates to at
tend the State Convention.

They also refer to the fact that after the extinc-
ton Of slavery, the "polcy of continuing me

Of the Anglo-Saxon race began to assume shape |

that no State should resume her former status "

sve control in the government of the State, be is
willing to try the experiment, without prejudice;
but he signifies his opinion that manifest destiny
will, sooner or later, assign the negro-of his

political rights, and where, under government
of his own choice he can pursue and fulfill the

IDLE conflict y between the races should equality
in governmental affairs, in the workshops, and
in the varied competitions of labor, be insisted
upon. These views, he says, are presented in the
interest of the African race.
On the subject of our foreign relations, approx
al is expressed of the policy pursued during the
war, in the face of the recognition BY foreign pow
ers Of belligerent rights in the Confederacy, and
the forcibIe occupation by France of the terrific
ry of a sister republic. The words Of Mr.. Mon
roe, addressed to the Holy Alliance in 1928 are
quoted, and the ground taken that from that pc
Rod 10 the present time the sentiment Of the
country has proclaimed the doctrine'of non-in-
PREVENTION in the affairs of this continent. Our
grand military pageants in the late war are re-
ferred to- more than two millions of fighting men
having been equipped, and it is declared that
England and France can still have peace but it
must be sought in the full recognition of the
Monroe doctrine, and the withdrawal, sooner or
later, of every vestige of monarchical rule from
this continent. The Governor commends the de-
liberate and cautious policy upon which the Pres
ident is acting, to the endorsement and approval
Of The State of Maryland.
In conclusion, the Governor reminds the leg
islature that bis predecessor-the retiring Gov
Bradford-goes back to despoiled and ruine9
homestead, as the result of the vengeance of tbe
public enemy, after four years of faithful service
amid the dark and trying scenes of the rebellion.

was drawn, in his retirement

THE Registry Law.

The loyal people of the good old patriotic State
of MARYLAND, have Ten thousand reasons to be
thankful that this important matter was made
Constitutional provision, by their Representa-
tives who framed the present organic law of the
State. They have in addition abundant cause
to be thankful to the loyal representatives in the
Legislature of our State at their last session. for
their independence, prudence and loyalty, for
having as the servants of our oyalpeople obeyed
that portion of said Constitution.
1t may not be generally known now, but it is
fact that many of those of our people who have
been DISTINGUISHED for their open action, or sym
patty with the rebellion, which ended soSpglo-
rious to those who would have set all laws At
defiance, who, in their efforts to gain their indie

murder in the various thousands of ways in
which murder could. possibly be committed, even
to the starvation of tens of thousands of as brave
men as God ever breathed the breath of life in
to, are now busily at work to have the Registry
law of Maryland repealed. There being how
ever Constitutional obstruction, we find some
of the leading neutral well as late rebel papers
advocating in the strongest terms an amendment
to our Constitution, striking out that provision
which excludes those rebel sympathizers from

Trouble on the Rio Grande.

By the following news from the Mexican
frontier, we fear there will eventually be trou-
bic in that quarter. Itmay be that the account
is exaggerated sfg
New ORLEANS, January 16.-The Ranchero'
of the 5th contains the following Several of
fcers and men crossed the river from Clarks-
vile, Texas, and took up quarters, apparently
for the night. Shortly after midnight the
guards at the ferries along the river were sur
prised and disarmed by this party, and such
lighters as were at hand were Immediately
seized, and with them were crossed over the
military force at GAINESVILLE, about one hun
dred strong, mostly negroes.
The garrison of Bagdad, about IT'S men, was
completely surprised and captured. The COM
mander of the post and Captain of the port
were taken prisoners while in bed, and it is re-
ported that the former was killed, but the latter
escaped. Upon taking the town, the work of
pillage and plumber was Immediately common
ced. Warehouses were Quilted, and their con-
tents crossed over to the American side. The
gunboat Antonio was called upon to surrender,
but she answered with broadside which scat
tered the fillibusters. A second demand was
made, and was answered in a similar manner
The Antonio was on her way up the river An
Austrian Sergeant on her was killed faa
At daylight the French men-of-war in the
harbor opened fire, compelling the fllibusters
to take refuge in the upper part of the town.
AT last accounts the fllibusters still held the
town. The deaths in the affair are reported to
number thirty on each side. 1H -
1t is said that the fillibusters are commanded
by General Reed. f4HF aa faf
General Crawford had started from Browns
vile for the scene of action. The last accounts
say that 800 Imperialsts had left Matamoras

Il" r. markable fact, mat when there is in
na'uls' prospect Of scarcity ofa needful arti-
0,e the subsistence and comfort Of man, Prov.
y ence provides something 70 take its place When
the demand for whale oil for illumin ating pur-'
poses had almost exhausted the supply of the
ocean monsters, and whale fishery had become
improbable, the discovery of camphine oil was
made. And just before the war; which would
have deprived us Of the turpentine necessary to
manufacture the oil, the great discovery was
made, that in the bowels of earth in Western Par,
and at other points throughout the North, there
existed in inexhaustable quantities, a substance
far better, cheaper and safer, than camphine.
So with our forests. When timber began
growing scarce in certain localities and near our
towns and Cities coal was discovered underlying
our mountains and plains. And now, before
yet there is any diminution of the supply ofcoal,
we hear that peat, the mud Of our swamps, can
be made into an superior article of fuel An ex-
cellent quality of peat has been found in the
prairie regions of Iowa and Illinois. In Massa-
chusetts, it is now extensively dug, and gener
ally manufactured for use by condensation, or
some process to free it from water. There is a
company organized in Boston to manufacture
the article. 1t is dug up, moulded into brick
shaped pieces which are dried Is bricks are. It
is said that ton is worth as much as a cord of
good wood. 1t makes an exceedingly agreeable
fire in an open CRATE. 1t has but little odor, and
what it has is pleasant, SO that as fuel it is not
only economical but popular. 1t is said that ii
is better than coal for making steam is equal to
charcoal for refining iron, and is superior 10 any
substance for making gas Some peat dries in
the sun, without any process of condensation,
almost as hard and heavy as coal. Ti 'fal
This article has been the principal fuel in Ire
land for ages-there the forests are destroyed,
and no coal is found Whether there are any
deposits in this State, we are unable to say It
would most probably be found in swamps atsthe
heads of creeks making up from the Bay Eia

nesses, and requested that the cause be postponed
until nazt Monday, or next Monday week. This
application was resisted by Messrs. Ensor, Rog-
ers RatcliHe aud the other counsel representing
the State. s4
After hearing The remarks of the counsel, His
Honor said that this was a case of great import
ance, and that ii was Of almost much import
ance that the public should be satisfied that JUS
tice was done as that justice should be done, and
that private convenience must yield to public in
terest, and, therefore, that he would postpone
the case. He further stated that, as the case
would probably be tried before Judge Emory,
he must consult him as to the time the case should
be fixed for trial.
After consulting with Judge Emory, who hap
pened TO be in court though too unweIl to try
causes, the case was fixed for trial on Monday,
the 9th day of February, three weeks from to-
day, when II will be peremptoriIy called, and
