The City Councils of Baltimore, passed
a few days ago, upon the recommendation
of Mayor Vansant,) resolutions appointing
committees to wait upon his Excellency
Gov. Whyte, requesting him to convene
the Legislature in extra session, for the
purpose of passing an enabling act for the
city, with reference to a proper supply of
water. We feel and appreciate the impor-
lance of this matter, as affecting not only
the health but the lives of the citizens; and
while we are not lawyers or competent to
construe constitutional questions, yet, TAX
ing a common-sense view of the question
in all its bearings, we think the whole mat
ter could be settled without calling the
Legislature together. AS this is matter
affecting Baltimore City only, no one can
doubt that the next Legislature would hest
tate moment to endorse the action of the
City Councils. To convene the Legislature,
is costly matter, involving the expendi-
ture perhaps of$1O00,OO0. Wetrust, there
fore, the City Counsellor, the Mayor and
the Governor may see their way out ofthis
matter without resorting to such costly
means. We want the City of Baltimore
properly supplied with water, it is desi-
deratum which cannot be postponed or
delayed; but, if possible to do without it,
we want no extra session of the Legislature.

AcquittaI Of DIR. Schoeppe.

The second trial ofDr. Schoeppe has end
ed in his acquittal. On his first trial the
evidence against him was the testimony of
an expert that the body of Miss Steinecke
exhibited uneqnivocal traces of poison
Other testimony showed that Dr. Schoeppe
seemed to have pecuniary interest in her
death, he producing paper purporting to
be will made by her in his favor. On
this testimony his conviction was not sur
prising, and reflects no discredit upon the
intelligence of the jury who tried him.
There was nothing before them to shake
the credit of the medical testimony as to
the cause of the death of the deceased. At
ter his conviction, DIR. Schoeppe, of whom
we had only heard through the notoriety
of his case, addressed to US, and probably
to other journalists, copy of the testimony
in the case alleging its utter insuficiency
to establish the death of Miss Steinecke by
poison, and protesting his own innocence.
The question of evidence was entirely tech
nical, and we felt no confidence in our own
judgment upon it. But believing an in
vestigation due to justice, we submitted
the paper to the most eminent medical au-
thority known to us on such question
Professor John J. Reese, of this city. His
humane and professional interest in the
matter prompted him to give it his consi-
deration, which was the beginning of the
movement which has rescued DR.. Schoeppe
from the gallows. DIR. Reese, on the witness
stand, reiterated his statement to us that
the processes by which it was supposed
poison had been detected, were wholly fall
lacious and unreliable, and that there was
no evidence to exclude the possibility that
Miss Steinecke had died from natural eau
ses. The main fact in the case being thus
without proof, an acquittal followed, as a
matter ofcourse. This trial affords another
example of the difficulty of proving death
from the administration of poison, and
shows the necessity of the utmost caution
in weighing the testimony upon such a
charge. We are ourselves firm believers
in the humane maxim of the English law,
that it is far better that the guilty should
escape, than the innocent suffer. We are
therefore satisfied that the last verdict is
the proper one, under the circumstances Of
this case.-Philt,d. Age.

The Result An Maine.

The 'returns from this State indicate a
Radical loss ofbetween four and five thou
sand, as compared with the Governors
majority of 1858, and about thirteen thou
sand on that received by Grant. The ag-
gregate vote is within few thousands of
the total cast that year, which was the
largest ever polled in the State. In other
words, the Radicals have lost nearly rs per
cent. of their majority, on fair and full
test, and under the most favorable circum-
stances. The same scale ofdiminution, ap-
piled to the close and doubtful States,
would carry every one of them for Greeley.
This is the result at the very source of
where the partisan fires of pre-
judice burn intensely, where the organiza-
ton is perfect, and the influence of power
and patronage is most sensibly felt.
Thepolicy ofthe Administration is shap-
ed exclusively in the interest of New Eng
land, by New England men, and for the
benefit of New England pockets. The
Legislation is controlled by combination
of the manufacturing interests, through
committees known to be subsidized for
their advantage. The Treasury Depart
ment, with its immense ramifcations, is
run in the same groove for the bondholders
and banks, and against the taxpayers, who
have to bear the burdens of corrupt sys-
tenn, devised to promote monopoly, and
to make the rich richer and the poor poor
er.
The New England States have accumu-
lated immense wealth undera policy, which
has been contrived by their own hands, to
drain the resources ofthe South and West
and make them pay enormous tribute fol
every manufactured article that enters into
common consumption. They care nothing
for candidates or principles, except so fal
as they may serve the purposes ofaggrandi-
cement, which are nearest and dearest to
the heart of that selfish section. Support
of Grant means simply that he is the best
instrument to advance their designs and
nothing more.-PGtriOt.

continues to arrive very freely, the inspections
this week amounting to nearly 1900 hhds.-
The demand for it continues active, though
scarcely equal to the supply, and there is some
accumulation of stock in the warehouses. The
sales of the week comprise about 1000 hhds.,
mostly taken for Bremen and Holland, and
prices are well maintained for all grades. OF
Ohio the crop is nearly all in, but the demand
for it continues very active, and we note sales
in the week of 300 to 400 hhds., principally for
France at very full prices. In Kentucky and
Virginia there is little or no movement, but
prices remain very firm. We note the export
from this port this week of 397 hhds. to Liver
pool, and GLIB hhds. to Genoa; total ,OlO hhds.

Thirteenth Dist, Bait. C0atnty.-William

W. Wade, Robert Fowler.
Upon the adoption of the report of the
Committee, Mr.. Wethered moved to pro-
coed to the nomination of a candidate for
Congress, which prevailed, whereupon Mr..
Fowler moved that the nomination of Hon.
w. M. Merrick, the present incumbent, be
made unanimous and by reclamation. The
motion was seconded and Mr.. Merrick
warmly eulogized by Messrs. Wethered,
Brown, Tall, Linthicum and Davis. Judge
Merrick was then unanimously and by &C
clamation declared the nominee of the Dem
ocratic Conservative party of the FifthC Jon
gressional District for Congressman. Upon
motion, committee of one from each coun-
ty, and the 18th ward of Baltimore city
were appointed to wait upon Judge Mer-
rick and inform him of his nomination, who
soon appeared in the Convention and made
very forcible and eloquent address of &C
ceptance, which was received with frequent
demonstrations of applause. At its con-
clusion, on motion of MI. Linthicum, the
thanks of the Convention were unanimous
ly rendered Messrs. Chapman and Sellers
for the efficiency and courtesy displayed
in performing their duties as the executive
officers of the Convention, after which the
Convention adjourned sine die.
The vote of thanks meant something
more than the customary compliment that
is usually accorded to presiding officers OF
deliberative bodies. By his uniform cour-
tesy, his evident thorough knowledge OF
parliamentary law and usages, his quick
appreciation of the business before the
Convention and his aptitude for dispatch
ing the same, Mr.. Chapman merited and
won universal admiration. In him Char
les county has son of whom she may well
be proud and who may confidently look
forward for higher honors at no distant
day. The personnel of the Convention was
of the highest order; it was composed OF
gentlemen who would reflect honor upon
any constituency, and their action will as
suredly be ratified in the coming canvass.
