Inc Democratic party in MARYLAND Is a good
ceal divided over railroad matters and rival
personal interests, and the attempts at compro-
mise have proved so unsuccessful MP TO this
time that il seems probable that there will be q
mercer Fight At the coming State election
between these wings of the Democracy than
with their common adversary, the Repu olicau
party. One faction, 10 is stated, has selected
Mayor Banks IS its next candidate tor Cover
For, and Sheriff Davis as the successor of
Mayor Banks in the Msyoralty. The same
faction has determined 70 make John M.rrv.

that II two tickets are not in nomination the

MarYland' however, not TO let their party zeal
carry them TO the extent of throwing the State
into the hands Of the railroad mouopolists. A
petty party success at . time when there are
no great NATIONAL interests al stake would be
dearly earned by the sacrifice of the railroad

The New York Sun, noticing the ineongruous
features OF American high society In the cos.
tune worn by the drivers of hearses and car
riages a. funerals, which is without regard to
uniformity. or even TO good taste and cleanli.
ness, says this was especially conspicuous at
the funeral Of General RawIins, and that the
same Is apt TO be true also OF the most carefully
arranged funerals in New York, for the same
reason.
There Is some truth In this criticism aad we
remember the surprise expressed by an English
visitor In Washington on the occasion of the
funeral Of General Baker, at the mi ed costume
CT the drivers, some wearing white hats, some
black SLOUGH hats, some dirty, greasy caps,
some white coats, some black coats, &C., &c
And the soldiers were nearly as inconxruous
IN appearance, some gloveless, some wearing
soiI'd whit gloves, some black gloves, and so
on This Is a matter worth q little attention

SUIT FOR DAMAGRs-We commented lately
upon the absurd law, or the absurd construc.
ton OF II by some OF our city Dogberries, by
which some Frederick county farmers, who
brought veal to this market for sale to our city
market men. were arrested and their meat
confiscated on the ground that they did not
raise the calves. They did not undertake to
retail the veal, but to sell 1t by tae quarter to
the market dealers; but because they were not
able to prove that they had themselv raised
the calves the meat was taken from them and
they were imprisoned. By our local column
it will be seen that one of these men has
brought suit against the Corporation for false
arrest and confisca,ion OF goods; claiming
$1,000 damages. We do not desire, of course,
that the city shall be blistered in any such
dsmsges as these, but we trust that the result
will show that their is no law for such pro.
ceedings, and will afford a salutary lesson to
onr policemen and magistrates hereafter.
