DuRINa 4 LATE VISIT to Baltimore, we
were surprised at the constant appearance
of armed soldiery in the streets In the
evening the roll of the drum, the sound Of
the fife, and the march Of troops were al
most as incessant as during the war. Most
of these are iSwanns Militia, composed
nearly entirely of persons of disloyal record,
differed by returned rebels, and uniformed
in grey. 1t is reasonable to ask, what does
it mean?
The Washington Chronicle, referring to
the same facts, and stating that Gov Swami
has at his disposition some $1,000 per
annum for the support of these troops, very
pertinently says -
II the move is bona feie desire to estab-
fish an effective militia in accordance with
| the present Constitution of Maryland, and
| the paramount law Of the land, why not
enroll all loyal militia-men? Why favor
| late rebels to the exclusion of so many thou
| sand loyal Union soldiers? Why not recog-
| nize colored militia, organized by virtue Of
| the act of Congress of March ., 1867. To
rule out so far as possible Union officers and
soldiers, the act provides that no one shall
be eligible to office in the militia, unless he
| be native OF the State or resident thereof
for five years. That this is n sham, mere
| trick, is evident from the fact that the Gov
ernor disrcgards it in favor of all old rebels,
who are neither natives or flye-ycar resi-
dents, while he strictly applies it to loyal
men. 1t is true that his staff has upon II
one or two ostensible Unionists, and that
there is fair spriakling of them in the line;
but they are make-weights, who can be flung
aside when no longer required for ornament
or disguise.
What is the dreamer's programme? What
mean the whispered inuendoes and plans .
Maryland, with 10000 armed men, will
stand true to the Government, meaning A.
J). At the suspicious moment the District
of Columbia can be placed under martial
law, and Maryland also. All points avaia-
BILE for defence can be instantly occupied
Forts McIIenry and Marshall, and Federal
Hill, will command Baltimore; and bate
; ry of artillery the bridge crossing the Sus
. quehanna at lIavre- Grace. When all til,
friends of the Government CA. j. aforesaid
shall have obeyed his summons, and rallies
upon the sacred soil of Maryland, then tn
, bridge can be destroyed to keep out inva
! ders. All the avenues of travel will then b
in possession of the gentlemen in gray; an'
| the rebels q. c. Union mem will be com
u PEELED to enter Washington ny a crcuitou
e land route.
4 Then, with the capital OF the nation OF
!, cupied by old defeated rebels, smarting undo
feeling Of fancied wrongs, the road to con
c pletc success will be fully open, new Coz
= gress can be organized, and peace and traI
+ guilty will have been restored at once

SIMPLY AS SANITARY MEASURE, aside
from all other considerations of public poll
cy, it will soon become necessary for the
Government of the United States to seize
and regulate the Government Of Mexico.

dered in Mexican filth, than we can allow
republican institutions to be made a fare

The VOTE OF VIRGINIA As there are
eight counties yet to be heard from, the
registered vote of the State can only be
appropriated. From the returns already
received, however, after careful examin-
alton, we are warranted in placing the ag-
gregate vote at 200, 900 OF those, no.
600 are whites and 90, 600 colored The
law of Congress authorizing the holding of
a State Convention fixes the apportionment
according to the number of delegates which
the counties were entitled to send in 1860
to the House of Delegates. The fact that
some of the counties now a part Of West
Virginia were then incorporated with bor-
der counties of Virginia as Legislative dis
tricts, will render the apportionment some
what difficult, but we feel safe in placing
the whole number at one hundred and four
members. There is, however, at least
possibility that, by different calculation,
it may be made to reach one hundred and
five members There will be difficulty it
will be readily seen, in the apportionment
of representation among the various coun-
ties, owing to the change brought about by
the REIMBURSEMENT of freedmen For in
stance, anterior to the war, Elizabeth City
had only little over 800 voters; now it
has |, 400 negro and 800 white voters.
Richmond city has now 7,120 colored and
1908 white voters. The same change is
observable in the returns of many other
counties and towns. AS consequence,
while the aggregate of the State represen-
tation will remain the same, the apportion-
ment as far as the counties. especially those
of Eastern Virginia are concerned, will be
materially altered. -Richmond Wing.

AuausrA, Ga. August 3O.-The Chroa-

Of the Board of Registrars, that private
instructions have been issued that no
freedmen will be permitted to take seats
in the approaching State convention.
General Pope having been written to,
to know whether there is any truth in a
report that he intended issuing an order
staying the collection Of debts. replies that
'sno conceivable circumstances could in
duce me to interfere with the general bu-
siness of the State or the relations of
debtor and creditor. The only orders is
sued or to be issued are such as are deem
ed necessary to the execution of the re-
construction acts, which do not warrant
violent changes in the ordinary course of
civil business. The people must look for
relief to the State convention. ] do not
consider such matters within my province
to adjust"

Of Vancouvers Island, British Columbia,
