A NICE TIME COMING,

n A NICE TIME COMING. |1 They have had an exciting time in lRaltimorc, if our exchanges reporticor-l ffrectly. Gov Swan and the police com E}missio ncrs have had a row-the Gov. tssupportcd by the conservative, and the &com missioners backed by tho rad. Gov. 4Swan appointed the registrars of elec- Htion, as. is clearly his right but tho rads EEnot liking his appointments have re- Nbcllcd, and attempt through thc clerks by the police commissioners, Hto ignore the registrars decision, and, Elfay who shall and who shall not vote. [slhis state of affairs has brought about fn collision TheNom snissionors areto E1bc tried, and if the charges arc stfii- |}cient will be rcmoved--so the Cover Enor says ]; but the rads say they shant. ] Much excitement prevails, and war, |lblooa sword, &c., are words frequent IIly used The Washington correspon- 'Sdcnt of the Louisville Courier says: { arc already aware that Ewc are well-nigh i'll the throes ofa rev folution here. The Baltimore police zcommissioners' question has not abated Zone iota of its interest and will not Enntil after the hearing on Friday. What |shape it will then take no one is safe in |Spredioting. I can only say, and that 2from the very best authority. that Gov.
 Swan will not move a peg from his po- Esition. He will maintain his authority, Etry the commissioners on the charges. land, and ifgood and sufficient cause is Hound, he will remove them. The next mnoye will be for the Radical conspira- Btors to take, and tits matter of grave whether they dare resist. 8If they do, collision is inevitable. |sMy own opinion is. aftera calm review &of the position, that they will back out. Elf they do not, we will certainly have k2tiyil war, with the scabbard thrown |Away." Now that looks like it would Escare somebody; and we believe twill
 fcarc the rads, for they know that Bal Fillmore is bad place to kick up row. Reviewing the subject, and examining
 ft closely, the Louisville Courier says:
 r We are not in their secret, but we can
 guess their object in raising a muss at
 Baltimore just now. They wish to fire
 Inc Northern heart. They wish to in
 bpire the Fletcher party of Missouri.
 he Brownlow party of Tennessee, and
 other similar parties in other States,
 with the courage to proceed in their
 tyrannical programme upon the assur-
 snce that the dominant party ill the
 North will sustain and even fight for
 thcm- They hope even by threats and
 notes of preparation to scare the Presi-
 lent and Governor Swan into some
 concession and some exhibition of
 Teakness and want of nerve. They are
 acting upon the shrcwd hypothesis, that
 most men when confronted with for
 midable menace will yield, and that
 Ahen you try it on one, who wont. you <Ean very easily back out yourself. If #Ehe worst comes and the Annapolis and Washington functionaries roll up
 #leeves and show disposition to Ego
 2n,a why the rads can gracefully retire,
 And howl about executive tyranny ex-
 ertcd against Union men in behalf of
 &ed -handed rebels and so forth. And
 lnally we entertain such an opinion of
 these yirtuous men that we believe
 ahey would sacrifice a few of their over
 hredulous fools for the sake of testing
 sertain nerves and finding out the po-
 itical status and official discipline of
 pen. Grant and other officers of the
 alany, whose course in certain possible
 Emergencies is an Important element in

 Ing war will commence at Baltimore,
