Market street at half. past o'clock, yesterday
morning, having in his possession q bag con-
tanning lot of chickens which had had their
necks wrung and had not been picked. AS
farmers do not send chickens to market In this
way, Sergeant Ply asked Kerns how they came
into his possession. He stated that he had slept
in barn with man, and he had handed them
to him. This was very unsatisfactory, and the
colored man was taken to the Station House.
Alderman Maule committed him to answer.

The Convention Bill.

We print the Convention bill, as passed
by the Legislature, on our first page this
week. The subject Of holding Constitu.
tional Convention will for some time engross
the attention of every citizen Of the State,
and all will have desire to read the law
passed by our Rebel Legislature, providing
the machinery by which they hope to forge
anew, the chains of. slavery for Maryland. -
1t will be seen that the representation Of the
cxsave counties is increased in the Con-
yention, contrary to the present Constitution,
in order to represent the colored population
IN tic proposed Contention By Rebel, dele
gates, ,rhile they deny the right to rotc to that
class Of citizens. 1t will be observed, also,
that clause is inserted in the bill, ordering
the Convention to forbid the payment for
cmancipated slaves by the State, as though
q Legislature could dictate to a sovereign
convention, which puts every previous or
ganic act under its feet. This is intended to
hoodwink the people Of the northern coun,
ties. Why are the delegates increased in
the former slave counties, and why is a
commissioner appointed to collect evidence
Of the number Of slaves emancpated by the
Constitution Of "a, if the object isn't to tax

and the work in order, is to defeat the call
Of convention on the 10th of April, such
as the enemies Of the State mediate con.
vening in May next, and which will cost the
State from hundred and twenty-five to two
hundred thousand dollars, and for no other
purpose than the hope Of preparing way
by which few hundred ex.slayc owners
mostly traitors-shall receive from the State
in taxes $40, 900, 900, and hastily turn out
all the Union ofliceholders of the State and
ill their places with Rebels, These are the
two grand objects this party seek to turn the
State upside down to achieve.
Men of Cecil, turn out and vote down this
infamous proposition for convention, and
save your State from further debt and dis
organization, such as will produce an over.
turning, the like Of which has never yet been
witnessed in our borders.
The Republican party will have no candi,
dates at the forth coming election, but will
vote solely against a convention.

Adjournment Of the legislature.

This important evcnt-doubly Important
to the taxpayers Of Maryland, in view of
the reckless extravaganza that corrupt body
displayed in throwing away the treasures of
the State. AS Stirling remarked in his
speech before the Republican Union Con.
vention, on Wednesday, /" The Legislature
of Maryland has become, by its course of
inconsistent legislation, by the madness and
recklessrcss Of its policy, by the corruptions
which send up stencil foul to Heaven from
the Capitol at Annapolis, nuisance in
the estimation of the nation"
1t has gone home with the imnrecations of
every loyal and true man upon it. Among
the curses it beqeathed to the loyal people
of the State is a militia law which will entail
a terrible expense on the State to maintain,
and which seeks to muster the soldiers who
fought for years in the rebel army alongside
of the soldiers who fought for the perpetuity
of the nation, and to place ex officers of the
Contederacy in command over them.
They have brought down the scorn and
disgust Of the nation upon the State by ar.
ranging her government machinery to set her
back among the rubbish of the past, bowling
her head down to the earth with debt and
disgrace.
