The Worlds Washington special says: The
Governments has received intelligence that
the Radicals in Maryland contemplate the in
augurasion of scheme at the election, on
the 18th inst, when the new State Constitu-
tiou is 10 be submitted for ratification, which
will surely lead to riot and bloodshed, under
the assumption that the colored man hss as
much right to vote in Maryland ss he has in
Virginia. The more desperate Radical lead
ers in the former State are urging the col
ored men to present themselves to the polls
and demsnd the right to vote on the new
Constitution so called.
The Border State Convention, which as
eembled in Baltimore yesterday, evidently
means mischief in that direction. Promi-
nent Conservative citizens Of the State have
been here to day, among them ex>Gov. Pratt,
comforting with officials on the impending
trouble. The State authorities feel confident
Of being able to preserve peace, but it is not

will be re>instated and then honorably mus

trict military commanders the extension Of
the time until the 1st Of October, for the cor
rection Of and admission to registry Of those
who may produce the proofs of legal quali-
