THE EFFECT IN MARYLAND.
There is a report that the Governor will call an extra
session Of the legislature but rs U and ~
moya of Judge Bond is already proposed Ina 1t woad
be an outrage the first principles Of common Law s no
proof that it will not be DONE The Constitution proVdS
that Judge can be removed recommendation Of tv-

abolish the present Constitution of the State abrogsns
every clause that prohibits Rebels ron Young Ihey

old slayepower Of the State is now IN WI
possession. The Police Board vii OF course os

municipal election and throw the present Council out OF
office.
Gov Swami made short speech this morning from tho
steps of the House. properly claiming tho result
in the State as vindicatiOn of his policy, and proms
ing not 10 waYer in the work begun He subsequently
waited on at his residence by the Democratic state Com
mtee and Others, and compmented upon his course In
reply he reoced over the victory ana praised President
johnson. He said had the contingency occurred the chief
Executive of the Nation who alone could have afforded
the needed aid, would nave lne Otdtea
troops to occupy the streets Of Baltimore. He the Gov
ernor had been in daily conference with hr. Johnson
and could say that there hestancy on the Pre
dents part But the contrary, he expressed the ye
warmest interest in the welfare Of the State But Mr.
johnson was thus ready he Mr. Swami felt that in ac
cept ingmary aid to sustain his own lawful authority
no might be placing weapon in the hanGs Of the Rsd
cal element Of the country to be used against the Pres-
dent as ground Of impeachment He was glad the occa
sion had not arisen. He would only reiterate that If IL
had become necessary personal consideration would
have prevented the President from assuming the RESPONSE
bility OF the carte blanche be had given 10
the Governor Of Maryland to use the troops.
Gov Swami then said that Generals Grant and Candy had
come over hcre but tho latter appeared 20 believe that BE-
was sent in the capacity Of adviser. he Gov. SWAMP
needed no counsel with such ideas in his head Gov.
s. then indicated the OF prescription he intended IN
pursue toward the Radicals He would all his power
TO punish the who had outraged and dehed the Execu
tive of the State The strong Of law should reach all
such offenders 10 the Judge the bench. Tbs al
fusion to Judge Bond was received with cheers
THB REMEDY.
The feeling here to-day among Radicals Is almost uni
yersa for manhood suffrage. We see in this the only
chance for the redemption of Maryland, and redemption
on this basis viii wed her permanently 10 tho loyal North
Il is felt TO be in harmony with the spirit OF our
institutions enfranehise than 10 dsfanchise; easer to
bring negroes TO the polls than 20 keep Rebels away from
the polls. Henceforth 6y the banner OF impartial
suffrage.
