On Saturday the Surratt jury came into

to agree. They declared thatthe differences
were irreconciable, and that the members
of the jury were divided nearly equally
Judge Fisher then discharged them, to which
the prisoners counsel objected. Four are
reported as favorng conviction and eight
acquittal. Surratt' counsel inquired wneth
er the District Attorney proposed to hold
the prisoner, or enter a, noue prosequi, and
Mr.. Carring:on responded that he certainly
would not release him. AS soon as theinry
had left the court, Judge Fisher said he had

excitement the Judge left the Bench, and,
escorted by his friends and several police
men, entered a street car. Bradley rushed
out and jumped into the same car, and hand.

this ended the Surratt trial. 1t is probable
that the prisoner will be again put ON trial
at the December term of the Court.

A VOLUNTEER CoMpANY.-The volunteer
company of which Jos. c. Hill was chosen
Captain was completed on Wednesday even
ing last, by the election of officers. Some
informally having been found in former
application of the company, by Inspector
Gen. Jeffries, it was not accepted. 1t is
hoped that the papers next time will be
found to be all right, in "ship shape and
Bristol fashion, and the Inspector will not
oppose difficulties even though tie company,
on account of its "Radical" proclivities,
might refuse to take up arms to oppose a
law Of Congress.
The company numbers 65, officers and
men. The officers elected are Captain, j.

One half the members Of this company
were soldiers in the Union Army.
A company Of so men was formed in this
town last week, whose papers being all right,
we suppose, was mustered in. The com.
mssioned officers Of the company are H. d.

Lieutenant; and Fl. II. Bennett, End Lieut..
In addition to the ABOVE there are two com

= The Cecil Democrat had ont its wind

II The Cecil Democrat had ont its wind
instrument, last week, endcavoring to blow
up the militia law. Its first note is sounded
thus: far better had it been that the two
dollars required to place noncombatants on
the reserved list, had not been accepted
from the peace.loving editor"
AS there is bnt one editor in this county
who in times Of war was IN ardent peace
lover, and rs that same editor is the only
one who paid "the two dollars required to
place non.combatants on the reserve list"
and who is no less distinguished person
age than the editor of The Democrat, we
confess oursclf at loss to see the point of
The Democrats conumdrum article We
were not green enough to pay two dollars
into Swann's pauper Office fund. We heard
the enrolling officer practiced upon the Gre
dulity of some of the innoccnts, by telling
them that although we advised others not
to pay communication, we had paid the two
dollars for exemption. This is grand mis-.
take. 1t was the editor of The Democrat
who paid the two dollars, and not the editor
of The Wing. We belong to the volunteers
or National Guard, which Swami and JEFF.
fries are organizing to prevent colored men
from voting, when Congress, at its next SEES.
sion, shall declare that no citizen Of the
United States shall be excluded from the
ballot box Oh account Of color.
We have seen these militia warriors CT our
State in the past, and have vivid recollec.
ton Of their frantic cries for peace, and the
white appendage to the national flag with
Peace" inscribed on it, which they car.
ried. This was their status when war was
raging on our borders, and we know that
they will cry "peace" again, when Con.
gress places the State under military control,
enfranchises the colored Union soldiers and
DISTINGUISHES the ten thousand rebels who
have returned here from Lee army, and as.
sist their copperhead friends in plundering
the treasury and placing the State back
again under her old slave masters.
We are well aware that this militia law is
part of the rebel programme to feed the
hordes of treason which swarmed Mary.
lands borders during the rebellion, out of
the treasury and at the expense of the Union
population, and this is the reason, and only
reason The Democrat upholds it.

CoMMUTATIoN FUND.-. s. Rossell, Chief
Enrolling Officer for this county, informs us
that upwards of 100000 have been paid in
by exempts Of this county. Perhaps double
that amount will be paid in. This sum ap-
piled to the school fund would furnish books
for GOO pupils, or carry on large school
for year. But under this militia law it is
money taken out Of the peoples pockets
and worse than wasted. The party who
passed the militia law have just declared
the public school law abolished if the next
Legislature doesn't re.enact it. Will the
people vote for party who delight more in
tinsel and soldier parade, than they do in
educating the children Of the laboring man :?

Adjournment of the Convention

The Copperhead Convention at Annapolis,
after q session of seventy five days has
agreed to adjourn sine die to day. Its OBJ
ject and its lahors, can be told in few
words. To turn out every Office holder in
the State from the highest to the lowest, to
increase the number Of offices, and fill them
with the rebel party, was the purpose Of the
call of the convention, and the arrangement
of the machinery to this end has comprised
the work of the Convention, for which $3.50,
900 of the peoples money has been expend-
ed.
The greatest blow to the States interest
is the destruction of our Public School sys-
TEN. From this blow it will take the edu.
cational interest of the State years to recup-
crate. The 18th of September is the day
appointed for holding the election to ratify
or reject the work of the Convention
Every man that has the interest of his State
at heart will vote against" the new Con-
stitution if tor nothing else, to save the Pub.
lie School law which the proposed Constitu.
ton ruthlessly strikes down.
The Convention, IN order to perpetuate,
if possible, the rule of the old slave power
have increased the representation from the
small southern counties and made provision
to manufacture new county out Of Somer-
set and Worcester counties, to be called
Wicomico. This sums up the labors of the
Convention and it's objects. OF course all
returned rebels will vote for it; will those
who have formerly acted with the Union
party, but voted laterally with the rebels,
still continue with the rebs?
