swami Resigns.

Below we present Cover, or Swann's latest
and master piece of effrontery. Satan is
styled the prince of liars and the father Of
lies, but in these days we think there are
some individuals that walk the earth, and
trade in politics, that would dispute the palm
in this respect with his sooty Majesty, Of
course we don't insiuUate that our most ex-
cellent and viglant Governor should be
placed in this category. But read this curl
Gus letter of his resigning the Senatorship,
knowing well it was out of his power to
reach that coveted seat. This honor has
been conferred on me, as is we'll known to
the members of the Legislature and my
! friends throughout the State, without any
| agency or solicitation on my part. What
manner of man can this Swami be to make
such assertion in the face of the people OF
MARYLAND. who all kao,o he has been plotting
and bargaining for the Office for years that
| he has left no stone unframed or shrunli from
no crime to gain that coveted position. To.
day Swami is the most diseraced and utterly
defeated political thimblcrig in the country,
Bat here is his letter, commentary on the
acts and ambition Of one of the most I'm.
| scrupulous and adroit roeucs that figures in
| American history

THE GLOVE TRADE IN New YORK The
N Y. Evening Gazette states that the glove
trade in New York is larger than in Paris or
London One-third of the gloves made in
Paris are shipped to America, and nearly one
half the importations are sold 10 New York
alone. There are many persons. men and
women, in New York, who wear, it is said, from
two to six hundred pair year. These cost
from three hundred and fifty to twelve hundred
dollars. These persons never put on pair a
secoEd time, and throw aside half dozen pair
day. We surprise Europe at our productivity
the wealthiest of the titled families not being so
extravagaut as our banking clerks and mercan-
tile princes
Talking about gloves reminds US that we have
owned but one pair of gloves in three years. and
they have remained in our over-coat pocket so
long unused that the moths have .'cut through"
So it is not boasting for to say that We deal
yith affairs with gloves Off

To which Senator Wilson replied as follows

SOUND ADvIcE.-1n view of what is now
transporting around ue, we commend the following
seasonable advice to Southern men. We
copy from the Boston Post:
Congress having determined the manner in
which Reconstruction shall be initiated and con-
sunni; ated, there is nothing left for those at the
South it has designated to effect its purpose but
to use what power is permitted them to protect
their interests in the best manner they can. All
should be registered whose right it is, and all
should vote to whom is granted the privilege
Although the Radical tide be not stayed, It may
be directed through channels less injurious than
though allowed to sweep on its destructive course
without attempt to check devastation. The hour
to the South-to the whole country-is an i'm
portant one. The South-stripped, subdued
governed by those beyond its borders-can gain
nothing 10y sulleuness or inactivity in the present
crisis of its affairs and notwithstanding the os-
tracism of large portion Of its people, there is
active intelligence and power sufficient remaining
to guard against many impending evils and to
hold position for action hereafter most desirable
for its protection and welfare. Therefore, those
who can influence events by their position toward
those who alone allowed to vote, owe it to
themselves and to their country, to labor, under
whatever dscouragements may be presented,
with view to the future, and with a cheering
appear their present path there is hope in years
to come to reward those who bear adversely pa
tiently and wisely.

DTNo doubt many persons consider it degrad-
ing for white delegates to sit in convention with
negro delegates. Feelings of that sort will be
hard to overcome, but it should be remembered
that Congress has declared that the negro shall
have equal political and civil rights. and if the
negro is to be voter of course it is to De expect
ed that both races will consult together as to how
they shall vote. The negroes in the Raleigh
Convention claimed nothing that the Government
does not compel as to grant them. AS to social
equality, they all declared that they did not want
or expect it-one of the negro speakers pro-
claimed that 1.-The white man or negro who talked
about social equality was fool or knave."

INTERESTING CCRREsPONDENCE.-Joh NJ.
Washkorn. of Texas, addressed the following let
ter to Senator Wilson:
WASHINGTON, March 81, 1867.
Sir: On my return home to Texas many ques-
tons will be asked as to the extent of the dlstran
chisement set forth in the reconstruction law
passed March I'd. and afterwards amended by
the supplement act. Does the law as 1t now
reads dsfranchise the rank and file of the soldiers
and citizens in the Southern States who had never
taken an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States or is it only applicable to that
class of persons who had previously taken that
oath and afterwards engaged in the rebellion!
Your Interpretation of the law, as understood
here. will do much in quieting speculations on
the subject, and give many the opportunity OF
aiding. by their suffrage, to quiet the country.
have the honor to be. sir. very respectfully,
your obedient servant
JOHN NJ. WAsHKORN, of Texas.
To which Senator Wilson replied as follows:
J. NJ. Washkorn, Esq.-My Dear Sir: In re-
ply to your question, docs the law it now ex-
lists d>franchse the rank and file of the soldiers
who had never taken an oath to support the Con-
sttution of the United States,' have to say that
it does not di>franchise them.
The constitutional amendment di>qualfes
from holding office certain persons who have
taken oath to support the Constitution of the
United States and then engaged in the rebel
lion, or gave aid or comfort to it. This class of
persons are DISTINGUISHED and all other persons
are entitled to vote.
These persons are mentioned in the constitu-
tional amendment, so that all persons will know
who are disqualified and DISTINGUISHED.
Yours truly, HENRY WILSON.
