Another great step in the grand march of

F.LKTON, FEBRUARY 8, 1866.
The Maryland Legislature ial'
DISGRACE.

On Friday, the 2Gth ult., an audience wns
asked of the Maryland Legislature by Mont.
gomery Blair, for Committee appointed by
the Copperhead Convention which convened
in the city Of Baltimore the ~revious Wednes
day and Thursday, to present memorial
asking repeal of the Registry law In
shame we write It that the Legislature allow
ed itself to be disgraced by admitting to
their hall that C6ppcrhcad Committee, head.
ed by Mr.. NJ. Blair, who proceeded to de-
liver an address to the Legislature, urging
the claims Of dislranchiscd Rebels to the
right of suffrage, at the same time breathing
a threat, il such claims were longer with.
held. If political meanness and disgust has
any lower depth of infamy than those ex.
plored by Mr.. Blair we have yet to hear of
the man who has found them. Fairly kicked
out of the Cabinet, he seeks to force his way
into the United States Senate to represent
Maryland, but foiled in this, he falls in with
the Copperhead party, aflilating with Mary
land Rebels, till we find him leader in
convention Of the disenthroned traitors, who
cut so conspicuous figure on the sid of the
rebellion, in go and 'G1.
In justice we must say that the opportunity
to spring this disgrace upon the Legislature
was taken when the Baltimore delegates were
not in their seats. The indignation of those
delegates, as well as of every Union man in
the State, is expressed by Mr.. Pilkington,
on the occasion, more forcibly than any
words of ours. We give his speech below.
Had Mr.. Blair unfortunately received the
election Of U. s. Senator, what pair of
beauties to represent her in that body our
State would have had. -Reverdy johnson
and Montgomery Blair!
Mr.. Pilkington said:
"They were not invited by this House.
except through craft and chicanery, and the
message itself was not a fair and legitimate
message. The very gentleman (Mr. Blair
who has addressed this House has spoken in
the vilest manner of the members of this
very House that he comes to address too day
in such respectful terms the man who con
demned and abused us all, placing us in one
class us set of the vilest men, instiguted
and moved by the vilest motives which men
were ever instigated and moved by, hurling
upon US vituperation and abuse, and ascrib.
ing to us all the vileness that one man could
ascribe to another. And he comes here,
and in his snakish and contemplate manner
would pretend to have respect for this
body, which, in the public prints of this
country, he has told the entire world were
of the above character. have no respect
for such man. although he has occupied
high places in this community. think such
man is to be despsed, and the delegation
that he comes with gains neither respect nor
honor from being in such company, even
though he is Montgomery Blair and an ex-
Cabinet officer
Mingled applause and kissing received this
earnest outburst of Mr.. Pilkington, both
from the House and the lobby, which, how
ever, was promptly checked by the Speaker,
who severely rebuked such exhibitions of
appreciation or disapprobaton.

Special despatch to The Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. l, 1866.
Treason in Virginia.

Late and authentic intelligence authorizes
the statement that the old rebel spirit has
broken out afresh all over Virginia. Moth.
ing but the presence of the military saves
the coIered men from the most cruel inius.
tice and enables the Northern people who
have gone there to live to prosecute their
various avotations. One of the officers of
the regular army, who reached Washington
this morning, stated that on Sunday last, at
leading Protestant church in Richmond,
the clergyman prayed so vehemently for
Jefferson Davis that the Union soldiers who
were present left the place in disgust. A
petition is now being numerously signed
calling upon the President to appoint a Pro-
visional Governor in Virginia. 1t will thus
be seen that we need not go to Mississippi,
Georgia, or Alabama, to prove that The spirit
of treason is still rampant, and that it is the
duty of Congress to postpone reconstruction
until the truly loyal people of the South are
protected, and the traitors rendered entirely
harmless.
