Maryland Politics.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The leaders of
the Radical party in Maryland are not as
confident of success as they were few
months ago, for they do not seem able 10
control the colored vote in Maryland as
they have done in other States. A COL
ored Democratic organization was formed
some time ago in Baltimore, and it has
extended its influence all over the State,
gathering in many of the best colored
men who are convinced that it is better
g. oov,GInnno IN, fhotr old
masters and friends, rather than in the
class who profess to love the colored dhpec
pie only for the sake of the offices Shich
they can give them. The Democratic
leaders are confident that the Radicals
will not be able to get control of the
State.

Luck.
1t is said that the new style of compel
tive examination in the Census Bureau,
is working so as TO give at least one-titth
of the appointments to clerks who were
kicked out of Office. when Gen. Grant
came into power, for their sympathy with
the johnson party. The attention of the
President is to be called to this matter
when he returns.
Lively Quarrel i'm the Navy Bureau
The correspondence between Mr.. Al
Iyn. late Chief Clerk of the Bureau of
Steam Engineering, Navy Department,
and Mr. King, chief of that bureau, in re-
lation to the charges of the former that
Mr.. King failed to protect the govern
ment in settling the CorleSs engineering
contracts of Providence, r. L, and paid
to Corless $14O, coo, to which he was not
entitled, is becoming quite lively. Mr..
ALVIN is out in another pamphlet, and
Mr. King follows suit, with an answer in
which he presents copies of numerous rec
ommendatory letters from his superior
officers.
