The MARYLAND LEGIsLATURE.-The Legs
lature of Maryland, elected on the 9th instant,
will be composed of some of the ablest men Of
the State. For instance, look at the names Of
the members of the House spoken Of for the
Speakership, viz:-Oliver Miller, Esq, Of Anne
Arundel; General Edward Hammond, of How
ard; Judge Carmichael, of Queen Annes, Hon.
Alexander Evans, of Cecil, ex- Governor Philip
Francis Thomas, of Talbot; DR.. Francis 2.
Phelps, Sr., Of Dorchester, and Hon. Isaac
d. Jones, of Somerset. All of these are gen.
tlemen of marked ability and great experience
in national and State affairs. Five of them
have been members Of Congress, and all Of
them previously representatives in the Lesisla-
ture. Several other members are well known
for their fidelity in the discharge of public du-
ties. The Senate will also be an able and Dig
nifed body. Its members generally have here
tofore occupied positions of much responsible

Shall the Government be Destroyed
by Rump Congress

This year Of Grace, if not pre-eminent in
miracles. is nevertheless remarkable for national
transformations that the latewar has produced
1be war has indissoubly united the pure
and the sword of the nation, and converted the
United States Government into mammoth
banker, carrying on banking business that
has eclipsed all other bankers. The BarnSs
and Rothschlds are mere pocket brokers COM
pared with the banking operations OF the gov
eminent. All these paper money issues are
printed and published by government, not in
virtue of the United States Constitution, for
that expressly limits Congress to the right to
coin money-but as a irdr necessity, lndepen-
dent of the fundamental law.
This enormous concentration of power crea-
ted by the union of the purse and sword has
built up dangerous consolidation party, which
ignores not only the rights of the States, but
even the Constitution itself, when that national
charter happens to stand inconveniently in the
way of partizan designs and enterprises. So
announcement indeed has the Constitution be-
come to Republicans, that Congressionals have
proposed forty-fve amendments in less than
one year.
It is noteworthy that the United States -four
ished for seventy years under the Constitution
that Washington left for the guidance OF the
country Constitution that Daniel Webster,
and Kent, and Justice Story, and Chief Justice
Marshall, successfully defended for thirty years;
Constitution that carried through the admin
istrations of President Madison, Monroe, Quin-
cy Adams, General jackson, Martin Van Blu
rem, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, and Fill
more without any Constitutional amend
ments." Yet members of the present revolu-
tionary Congress have discovered forty-fve de-
fects in the original fundamental law.
As abe and proficient as Congressional Con-
stitution tinkerers have become, no man in his
sober senses believes there is in all this Con-
gress brains adequate to the perfection of ano-
Their Constitution equal to the old document.

Messrs Welshans, Leiseuring, oConnell, and
Green gave notice of their intention to contest the
claims of their respective opponents.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
Board:
Resolred, That John Z. Erwin having received
the highest number Of votes cast at the election on
the fourth Thursday of October last, is hereby de-
J,,lr Tod IN Assessor j

Rcsofred, That George Byers having received

cared duly elected to the Office of County Treasurer
of Jefferson County.
On motion, the Board adjourned until Monday,
November &c, the time appointed to try the con-
tested election cases.
The ground of the contest between Welsbaas and

LATE ELECTIONS.

The recent election in Maryland, (says the
Baltimore lanSciPt,) and the demonstrations
of public sentiment ia all the Border States,
make it clear that, whatever be the political
dispositions of other portions of the Union, the
Border States are in favor of a conservative,
conciliatory policy in the reconstruction of the
Union, and that they have no sympathy what
ever with the proscriptive and vindctive policy
of the distructionist party. The Border States
stand, where they have ever stood, upon the
broad platform of the Constitution aud the
Union, the connecting links between the North
and the South, and are not to be moved from
their position by the temporary passions of the
hour in either section. If the factionists in
our midst expect to increase their strength,
as they are promising, by coming out fairly
and squarely in behalf Of negro suffrage,
they cannot too soon make the experiment. If
they had proclaimed such a creed in the late
eleosion, their defeat would have been annihila-
ton and if they will inscribe it on their ban
ners now, they will not be able to muster a
corporal's guard in any future political contest.
The people of Maryland, no matter what their
party classifcations, have not taken leave of
their senses upon the negro subject, and this
latitude has never been favorable for fanatical
propagandism. They wish well to the black
man but they love their country better than the
African race, and have no desire to sacrifice the
general Interests of the white man for the ex-
elusive benefit OF small minority of blacks,
utterly incompetent for the intelligent exercise
Of the right of suffrage.
Now that the fall elections are over, we hope
that better spirit will animate the American
people The Radicals ought to be put in good
humor by their victories elsewhere, and be pre-
pared to exercise their power with moderation.
Having built up their party, let them now set
to work to build up their country. This can
never be done by carrying out the intolerant
and merciless policy of fanatical and designing
demagogucs. The Congress of the United
States has limits power to make this country
once more powerful, prosperous aud united, or
to reduce it to the condition of Mexico.

Religious Meeting.

protracted meeting is in progress at the Il. NJ
Church of this town. under the conduct of the pas
tor, Rev. ROBERT SMITH. 1t promises to be real,
old-fashioned Methodist revival of religion. The
Rev. DR.. HoUGH, of Winchester, has been preach
ing series of sermons to large and listening con
qregations. Every seat has been occupied. The
Doctor is forcible, eloquent and convincing bis
sermons were such as DR.. Morris said he liked to
bear-such as would drive sinner into the corner
of his pew. and make him feel that the Devil was
after him. He set the people to thinking. Dr.
Houoh Is practical, earnest working man. lie
knew exactly where to begin, and he aroused the
membership from the ethargy into which 1t had
fallen. and afterwards his appeals to the backslider
and sinner and especially to the youth of our town,
were exceedingly happy, and ought 10 prove fruit
ful of much good. We are sorry DR.. Hough can
not remain here longer. The field is large one,
needs tillng and ought to produce an abundant
harvest of souls saved.
The altar has been crowded with penitents, aud
several have been converted.

FERoCIPy OF THE RADICALS.


Boutwell, Banks and Butler are still bloody
minded, aud are urging the changes on the
subject of impeachment Of the President, the
first non-combatant and tie other two the
most efficient Northern allies the Couicierates
ever had.
Banks was only known in Virginia as the
Comnissary Of Stoncwall jackson, and in Lou
isiana rs the unsuccessful cotton agent, who
sacrificed one hundred men and ten wagons for
every bale of cotton he tried to set in his Red
River expedition.
Butler. by his depredations upon silver plate
and specie dill more to inAame andincite rebel
opposition than all the orators Of the SOUTH
Nothing saved him from incarceration in a ne
gro Jail bat the blunder of General Whiting Of
the Confederate army. But as Butler after
wards corked hinselfup, as in bottle, between
the Appomattox and the James, he was not
deemed fthe least importance in the later cam
paigns. He seems now greatly dissatisfied
with himself, and threatens to bring the Mas
sachuset,s militia against Johnson's regulars.
Wendell Phillips is still objurgatory. He
thinks he has laid Grant upon the shelf, and
his latest TRADE is against Sherman. The of
fence of the latter seems to be that he once
lived South, and in his treaty with Johnston
for the surrender Of his army exhibited the
traits Of Christian gentleman as well as those
Of a soldier.
We are rather grati6ed than otherwise at the
Trades of these vindictive disturbers Of the
pubicpeace, They areover-acting their parts,
and wholesome reaction must come at no dis
tant day. The great interests Of the country
are not to be sacrificed 10 the malice Of unscru-
pulous partisans. Their revolutionary pro-
jects viii be failures, because not one of them
has the nerve to undertake to lead their dupes
to extremes.

CoLFAx RAMPANT.

Speaker Colfax, in late TRADE against the
South, was as fierce as Butler or Wendell Phil
lips He said, in anticipation of the probable
consequences of radical violence -
When we 90 again, with a torch in one
hand and sword in the other, we will compel
them 70 submit, or we viii sweep them with
the bosom of destruction
When zee go again One would suppose,
from this big talk, that Colflx had been COM
blatant in the late bloody war, and had been in
the Imminent deadly breach" Such bah
blers, however, merely excite contempt. They
are Of the species Of animals which always show
their teeth, but never bite.

Virginia Presbytery

The Presbytery of the State of Virginia has
been holding its annual session at Norfolk, at
DR.. Armstrong; church, on church street.
As previously, Rev. Mr.. Achison, ID. d., Presi-
dent of Hampden Sidney College, delivered the
opening sermon. After the conclusion of the
sermon the choir sung familiar hymn, when
DIR. Achison took the Moderator's chair and de-
clared the Synod constituted. There was less
than half the members present, there being but
ninty nine in ALL Rev. DIR. T. E. Peck of
Hampden Sidney College, was elected Modera-
tor Cor the present year. The Synod then pro-
ceeded to the election of clerks. The resigna-
ton of Dr. Farland, who had performed the
duties of State clerk for years, was refused, and
a series of resolutions expressing appreciation
for his great services and onerous duties, and
providing for an assistant, were unanimously
adopted. A resolution was adopted asking
the General Assembly to transfer the eccesias-
teal boundary between this Synod and that of
North Carolina. with q view of retaining
from North Carolina the jurisdiction over the
churches south of the Dan river, ceded to the
North Carolina Synod many years ago. In
connection with the business of publication
and education, the Rev. Drs. Moore and Stew
arr. who had been to England on n mission in
beba,r o.E the interests of the church, made adj
dresses eiviiSe their experience obtained a
broad After considerable debate, Charles
town was chosen as the pace Tor the next ses-
sion of the Synod. Resolutions were INTRO
duced to overture the General Assemuiy i9rthe
transfer of the control of the Union TheoioSii-
cal Seminary from the Synods of Virginia and
North Carolina to the General Assembly, agree
ably with the request of the managers of that
institution.
Resolutions were also introduced with view
of an organization of new Presbyteries, one Of
which is to be organized by portions of the old
Montgomery aud Roanoke Presbyteres, the for
mer to be known by the name of the Abingdon.
Pending these resolutions the Synod adjourn
ed until Friday night.

Improved Facilities in Freight Trans
nnrfafinn

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
in addition to their present arrangements for
the transportation of freights to the West, via
Benwood and the Central Ohio road and con-
connections, have also arranged with the Mari
eta and Cincinatti road, by which freights leav-
ing Baltimore per "B. & o. Lightning Express"
at nine o'clock every night, except Sunday, are
taken through to Cincinnati, via Parkersbnrg,
in the incredibly short space of about thirty
hours, both running their trains on prompt pas
senger schedule time, in both directions. Simi-
lar arrangements, we understand, are being
effected with connecting lines west Of Gncin-
natl, so that shipments to indianapolis, Chi
cage, st. Louis and other points are sent for
ward with great promptness. Our mercantile
and manufacturing interests, as well as ship
pers generally, will find these improved facili-
ties of immense advantage in their operations

Gen. sherman's Letter.

Relics of Sir John Franklin.

The captain and part of the crew of the
American whaling ship Antelope, which was
lost last October, near Neantelik Island. has
arrived at st. John. The Commercial Journal
of that town says:
The officers of the Antelope bring intereStip7
information of discoveries made by Mr. C. +.
Hall, respecting the Franklin expedition. Mr.
silver spoons and other relics supposed to have
belonged to the Franklin party lie also learn
ed that the remains of some of Frankhn'S men
were lying under boat in Committee Bay
where they had been placed by the natives az
ter death. The natives would not permit Mr.
Hall to GO on to examine them, but as several
vessels viii winter in Repulse Bay, it is believed
Mr.. Hall viii secure assistance and push his
way to where the remains are situated.
