TRoUBLEIN BALTIMORE. Political mat
ters in Maryland are assuming an alarming
shape, The registry commissioners put
down only such names as suit them, and re-
fuse to register a large number Of voters,
whose political complexion does not suit
them, on the ground Of disloyalty. Upon
proof OF this, Gov. Swan resolved to remove
.nc commissioners for malfeasance, which
the radicals propose to resist BY force. A
cabinet meeting, at when Gov. Swan was
present, has been held on the subject, and
the Washington authorities have determined
to assist the Governor ia quelling any insur-
rection against his authority. See telegraph
ic reports in another place.

The Grapple with the Cable.

Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern
now Sir James Anderson-publishes in
the London Times graceful acknowledg-
ment of the assistance he has received in
the cable expeditions from the naval officers
who were assigned to duty with him. He
especially names Captains Hall, Commerill,
Eddington and Harris; commanders Provse
ard Bait, and staff commander Moriarty
and then gives this reminiscence:
| shall but do scant justice to comman-
ders Prowse and Bait, 4. N, and captains
Eddington and Harris, mercantile marine,
of the Midway and Albany, if recall the
three weeks spent upon the graphing
ground where we were often separated by
fog, gale or darkness yet whenever day
dawned, or the fog cleared, the squadron
were to be seen convergipg from different
points towards the mark buoy, a small spot
looking no bigger than man S hat upon the
surface of the ocean. Unless all had con-
centrated their minds and watched their
ships and compasses night and day, no such
beautiful illustration of nautical science
could have been possible. The vessels OF
the squadron keeping always together, and
commanded by men who knew the impor-
tance of keeping close enough to begin work
whenever it was possible, and yet to avoid
collision in fog, was Of the greatest impor-
tance, and we owe much to that invaluable
system of signalling by night and day in
vented by captain Colomb, r. N, which
enabled us even in dark nights, when two
or three mics apart, to communicate or as
certain anything we desired.

Robbery of the West.

Judge Abbott of Massachusetts,, in declin-
ing the nomination for congress by the
workingmen's convention, says our system
of finance and taxation is one of the means
used for making the rich richer and the
poor poorer. Although Massachusetts,
man, the judge thus discourses of the shod-
dyites of that state:
By means of these systems of finance and
taxation we have seen within the last five
or six years tens and hundreds of thousands
of dollars accumulated by single individuals
in single year, and colossal fortunes built
up which even more than compete in mag
nitude with the inheritance of the princes
of the old world. Much Of this has been
done at the expense of labor.
The Northampton Gazette says:
A company not thousand miles from
Northam pton has just declared "a dividend
of one hundred per cent, on year profits,
besides reserving enough surplus to enlarge
their mill" Out of whom do these profits
come? Out of consumers overburdened by
taxation of every description. How is it
possible to make such profits in business
long established and extensively pursued in
the eastern and middle states? Because a
tariff virtually prohibitory excludes foreign
competition, and home monopolists have
only to assemble from time to time, fix their
own prices, swear not to undersell each
other, and their fortunes are made. Con-
sumers may help themselves if they cam
The old prentence that protection cheap
ems products by inspiring home industry
and fostering competition is exploded by
combination.
This policy of enriching the capitalists of
the east at the expense of the agricultural
and producing states, is the permanent
and accepted policy of the radical party and
cannot be rejected until the representatives
of that party are voted out Of congress.

ACoUITTAL OF REV. Mr.. LUMsDEN.

AcoUrTAL Of REV. Mr.. LUMsDEN.-
The Fenian trial at Toronto, CT Saturday,
terminated very properly in the acquittal of
the Rev. Mr.. Lumsden, FORMERLY of SYRIA
cuse, New York. The testimony quite
clearly proved that he was not q Fenian,
but that he had got upon a drunken spree,
had reached Buffalo, and in the excitement
was carried over the Niagara River with the
Fenian army, on the morning of the first of
June DR.. Cox testified that he was such
a hard drnker that on the 30th Of May he
was dismissed from the Episcopal Church
The catholics of Toronto assert boldly that
Lumsden was discharged on religious
grounds, and that the evidence against him
was stronger than that against Mcmahon.

AN INCIDENT-During the fire alarm
last Sunday, in the middle of church service,
there was quite a scene The minister had
stepped into the ante-room, as the hymn
was being sung, and when he returned, the
men portion of the congregation had de-
parted for the fire. He looked around in
some surprise and remarked, In olden

The Ferian Excitement.

The Fenans have lain quite dormant
since the winding up of their raid into Can
ada in June last but the recent trial, con-
viction and sentence to death of r. b.
zach and Rev. Father McMahon has ex-
cited their ire to tenfold degree. Large
and enthusiastic meetings have been held in
several Of the large cities, at which strong
resolutions have been passed, denouncing
the British government and threatening
Canada with war and devastation if the
above named gentlemen are executed. The
excitement is running high and spreading
wider and wider every day. In fact it can
hardly be called Fenian excitement it is
rapidly becoming national affair.
Commenting on this matter, the Chica-
go Journal says:
The perils of the hour are imminent. -
pended upon a''brittle thread If the Cana
dian authorities heed the united voice of
our Government and people, they will avert
the pending evils, but if they condemn both
people and Government, upon themselves
must rest the consequences. We hope there
will be no resort to violence, but there is
great danger that there will be if the present
hangman policy of the Canadians is carried
out.
Whatever may be the immediate result
Of this affair, it is certain that Irish liberty
will be advanced by it. If the prisoners are
spared, that will be grand triumph of
justice, and give Fenianism additional
strength. IF they are hung, their execu-
ton will be sacrifice upon the altar of free
dom, which will react powerfully against
their murderers '"Ihe tree of Liberty"
says French writer, lis best watered by
the blood of martyrs"

WHAT GEORGE PEABODY is WORTH.

WHAT GEORGE PEABODY Is WORTH. =
a London correspondent says that the
amount Of Mr.. Teabody's means is mat
ter OF conjecture. In 1851 he was num-
bered among the milionaires of London,
and during the next ten years his business
largely increased. Assuming the value of
his property at that time to have been sl,-
100000, he ought, in 1860, to have been
worth s3,ooo,ooo. During the last three
years he has endowed charities to the
amount of eS0O,O0O, and he had previously
given away about 50,000-in all close
upon S5,0o0,o0o. It is safe to say that he
cannot now be worth more than $40, 900, 600.
