The Republicans of Maryland are pre-
pairing memorial to Congress, asking
that body 10 interpose and relieve them
from the rule and domination of the
"rebels and their coadjutors." They
set forth the wrongs and outragea per-
Petrated by those who have regained
control orthe State, under tho Consti.
tulion adopted in 1907. They charge
that ninety-eight thousand eight hun.
dred and torty-6ve white Inhabitants,
residents in thirteen of the favored
counties, govern four hundred and sew
enteen thousand and sevenly-three
white Inhabitants who reside in that
section otthe State which had Il smaller
number of Inhabitants when the Com
HtiIution Of 17T6 was adopted. This,
thOy say, Is owing TO the unjust appor.
IiOnmOnt Oftbe House of Delegates and
Of the Senate. The memorial sets forth
several other reasons why its signers
desire Congress 10 interfere in their be-
half. ana relieve them from the weight
ofthe present State Constitution. The
baltimore american Is OF the opinion
that In very few years at the longest,
the people themselves of the Slate will
rise in their majesty and through the
ballot box overthrow this Constitution
which now disgrnces the State of Mary
land.

In regard to holding witnesses 10 ball

old regime many leading men in the
Old Dominion caused to be enacted
laws ifor playing into the hands OF Ie-
gal sharks. They openly opposed the
introduction and use OF newspapers, as
being in conflict with the Interests OF
the governing class. In reference TO
land titles the law was made In the int.
rest OF lawyers alone. The utmost con-
fusion prevailed in regard to the tax
titles and squatter claims; and very few
land holders felt secure in their Dos.

practices In legislation are still entaIled
upon us TO some degree in West Vir.
