FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1867.
Affairs In Maryland.

There is perhaps no State In the Union
In which the political condition OF affairs
rs in a more mixed and unsatisfactory
state than In Maryland. The loyal men,
Republicans OF that State, neglected
their opportunity two years ago OF
giving the right of suffrage to the
negroes, and as a consequence they are
now under rebel rule. But they are by
no means disposed to submit TO the con-
dition Of things which Governor Swami
and his friends have established, One
OF the first measures Of the party which
at present controls the State, upon as
Stunning power, was reorganization OF
the militia, and in Issuing the new COM
missions, Gov. Swami, true to his rebel
procliyitles, has shown marked par
tiality for ex-Confederate officers. In
Cumberland, fori example, three COM
panies of virulent sympathizers with Sc
cession, who occupied places in the rebel
ranks during the late war, were or
gained, under officers OF the class above
mentioned, and arms were furnished them
as soon as applied for. But when some
ex-Union officers organized three COM
panies OF their late comrades In arms
and staunch loyalists, and applied for
commissions and arms, their petitions
were refused and their organizations
ordered to disband. This incident is by
no means singular or to be wondered at
now, as similar and acts more in conso-
nance with rebel dictates are Of frequent
occurrence in the State, and have aroused
q Just Indignation on the part Of the
Republicans thereof. Many Of the Union
soldiers proclaim that while this con-
dition Of affairs continues they will
neither attend musters nor pay commu'
tations, averring that sooner than be
drilled by rebel ofllcere they will take to
the woods and inaugurate bushwhack-
ing war against such troops as may be
sent out against them. They very gen
orally believe, as indeed do the more
candid and thinking men Of the Other
party, that this reorganization of the
militia has been hurried forward with 8
view to possible troubles at the natlona
capital, and they look to Congress fol
some interference or legislation in theil
behalf at its next session.

BRATTLBBoRo, Sept. II, 1867
The third day of the Fair opened most
auspiciously. The weather is all that
can be desired, and the people were out at
an early hour. The attendance up to

on any former day OF the Fair.

They were all from the town of Brat:le-

stockraiser, for his perseverance in
getting them together and his efficiency
in organizing and directing their move

toned that several other Windham coun-
ty teams were in attendance.

The Albany Lobby 0utwitted.

In this weeks Spirit of the Times, Mr.,
George Wilkes gives an amusing ac-
count of field fight with the Albany
lobby, in which that veteran body was
badly worsted. He was one of the
trustees of the Lower California
Company" and the Secretary of the
board. Associated with him were G.
X. Garrison, VIM. r.. Traverse, l.. w.
Jerome, Gen. b. 4. Butler, A. Bel
mont, d. Crawford, J. A. Griswold
and w. G. Fargo. The company had
obtained from the Mexican govern
ment grant OF forty-eight thousand
acres IN Lower California, and deter
mined to procure charter from the
state of New York. 1t was supposed
from the national Importance of the
project, and from the political stand
ing Of the incorporators, that the APP
plication only had to be made to be
granted
The event proved otherwise. Mr.
Wilkes says: The members saw in
their visions of lower California an
empire Of gold, silver and pearls; and
the lobby, drunk on the very names OF
the trustees, rushed to the members
entreating their discretion, and inhat-
ing them with dreams of incalculable
fees. Never was bill more warmly
welcomed; never was bill more firm
/ ly nailed to the counter to abide re-
suits" The lobby at first contented
themselves with demanding five hun
dred and sixty shares of stock, at par
$4,000.
At every interview they raised their
price, until sixty days after the intro
duction of the bill, Mr.. Wilkes assures
us, it had reached the modest sum OF
100000. They also wanted $4,000
cash down.
This was the last feather upon the
back of Mr.. Wilkess patience, anG
broke it. He wrote letter to Sena
tor Scoyel of New Jersey, telling hin
the facts in the case, and asking hin
to procure the introduction of the bill
in the Legislature of that State. Tel
days afterwards the company received
their charter from Trenton, anC
NIr. Wilkes telegraphed to Albany t,
have the Lower California bill with
drawn. The CONSERVATION Of the lob
by was amusing. The bill was rushe,
through the House that night. A tel
egram was sent TO to Mr.. Wilkes ask
ing whether he wished the bill to pas
the Senate. He answered "No; tn
company have decided to organize un
der the New Jersey charter" TIL
Senate passed the bill. notwithstand
:. ing, and the Lower California Com
!. pany is doubly chartered
Mr.. Wilkes draws this moral iron
/ his story The approaching Consti
: tutional Convention had better pro
vide some mode of compensation 70
our future Legislators, which will say
: those honest gentlemen from fun
= tive and precarious mode of livelihood
. or at least protect them from foreig
rivalry"
