The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun of Tuesday last says:
1.-THE statement in this correspondence
Yesterday, that the idea Of interfering with
the Maryland State government by Con-
gress had been abandoned. for the pres
ent at least, was made upon what was
deemed the best authority, and there is
no doubt but that the sentiment of many
Of the Radical members is against any
further agitation Of this question. but the
matter Is already before the judiciary
Committee Of the House, and they d. not
seem disposed to give it up So They
are fearful that congressional Legislation
extending the suffrage 80 as to make it
universal will be too slow. and they want
to force an issue. They have, therefore,
determined. to take further testimony, and
- that end have appointed Messrs. Law
renee. of Ohio Churchill. Of New York,
and Eldridge, Of Wisconsin. sub-com-
mittse.
THE members from Maryland we're TO-
danaoti6ed Of this purpose OF the CON-
and we're further informed that
t1e 9lgtimony would be taken during the
ensuing recess and printed, so that it may
be reported early after the reassembling
of Congress in January. The object Of
the notification was to give the delegation
an opportunity to bring their witnesses
forward. There is much apathy upon the
subject outside Of the judiciary Commit.
tee. and some very prominent Republicans
are opposed to the further agitation Of the
question, doubling whether any real good
will result. Mr.. Frank Thomas himself
who set the ball in motion. is not believed
to be as active now as be has been. Mr..
John L. Thomas was in the city to-day,
as is supposed, with reference to this sub
ject."
