PORT TOBACCO. Md,
Friday, May 90, 1871


The case of Reinszell vs.. Herbert, removed
from St. Marys county, noticed in our last,
was concluded on Friday and . returned by
the jury for plaintiff for $1,000. A motion
in arrest Of judgment was then submitted and
ret for argument on Tuesday when Hon. F.
Stone, of COUNSEL fof defendant, delivered an
able and elaborate argument 10 support Of
the motion. On Wednesday the Court deliv-
cred ito opinion refusing the motion. But
little business claimed the attention of the
Grand Jury this term, and on Tuesday they
were discharged. The present term, we un-
derstand, will close tomorrow.
: Ratification of the Treaty.
!. The Treaty Of Washington, for the settle
ment Of the difficulties between tie United
States and Great Britain, was ratified by the
Senate on Wednesday night. by the extraor-
binary vote Of 50 to IL. All amendments
proposed to tho Treaty, it is understood, were
voted down.

The Gubernatorial contest, a. the time for
holding the Convention approaches, wakes
warm, and we fear that the friends Of the SOW
eral prominent candidates are daily becoming
more and more embittered in their feelings
towards their opponents. On Wednesday
evening, the 18th instant, meeting of the
Democracy, favorable to the nomination Of
Hon. R. B. Carmichael, described ~ "large
and enthusiastic" and presided over and adj
dressed by prominent gentlemen, was held
10 Baltimore and passed resolutions protesting
sgainst the recent action Of the City Conven-
ton, in ordering primary elections, IS intend
cd ito promote the interests of particular
candidate" Hon. VIM. Pinekney Whyte, and
recommending the friends Of other aspirants
70. "refraiu from all participation 10 the cleo.
tons Of Monday, the ed instant" At the
election on Monday, however, the friends of
MI. Whyts had the matter all their own way
-only 4ob votes unpledged tothis gentleman
Being cast out Of total Of 1,64o. Whether
this result II due in : measure to the f.com-
ptndatioo Of the meeting Of the 18th, which
we quoted above, or to the unanimity Of .po-
pular sentiment in Baltimore, in favor of Mr..
Wbyte, it is nov needless to inquire. Certain
tits that the twsnty-one votes Of that city
will now b cast for her favorite. On the
Bastssn Shore the friends Of Hon. Richard B.
Carmichael, who, it 10 now ascertained be-
yond al controversy, win allow his name to
90 before the Convention, claim the solid vote
or t6e:entire Shore 10 his faver-and we sup
pose be win get It, if DR.. Dennis withdraws
from the contest. Other gentlemen have
been named, but there is little doubt that
Judge Carmichael and Mr.. Whyte will enter
the Convention With considerably more
strength than any other candidate. But this
10 BY no means sure guarantee for the nlti-
mate success Of either, and in case the friends
Of these two gentlemen entor the Convention
With feelings Of luminosity and hate, eugend-
cred by q bitter personal contest, it is more
than probable that the choice of the Conven-
ton will fall upon some other party, whose
name is not at this time 50 prominent or per- |
haps has not yet been mentioned in connec-
tion with the position.
