Il Is q well known fact that Anne. Arundel
county went for the Republican ,ieke; By s?3
majority In 1870. but BY the fraude praciicsd by
the Democratic party In 1871, the county was
carried for that ticket by n considerable MAORI.
~. The frauds practiced by Democratic reg.
is,rars and judges Of election were Wholesale.
Congress passed an act 10 1870, known as the
enforcement, act" for the purpose OF securing
to every voter his right TO exercise tina, privilege
and publishing NIL who do any act to deprive
them Of L.. The act was passed TO protect color.
cd citizens In their rights under the Fifteenth
Amendment. By the deliberate concct, Of &c.
ton previously agreed upon BY the managers Of
the party in Anne Arundel county last fall, some
two or three hundred coloFed citizens were de-
priytd OF their right 10 vote Ia consequence Of
their names not being found upon the regisira'
ton books on election day. This resulted frOm
the registrars refusal 10 register colored men en-
titled TO registration and from the fact that they
struck Oh the names Of large numbers OF president
eolor,d voters Of the county prior To the return
o. the books To the county clerks Office.
This wholesale piece Of Democratic houesiy
brought It's results in the defeat Of the Rcpubl
can II, j,riiy in Anne Arundel county.

ferred to the Washington treaty in terms of
disgust. The treaty is the leading topic in
the journals as the present time. The Ad-

English commissioners have been outwitted,
and that England is bound hand and foot if
the Geneva board should award ell that the

injurious to England than such settle

appeal to withdraw from the treaty, which

The following is not entirely new, but in
the skillful hands Of Mr.. watterson, Of the
Louisville Courier-Journd,, it receives some
establishment that makes II worthy Of repe-
tition:
When the late General John A. Quitman
was running against Henry s. Footc for Gov
ernor OF Mississippi, in 1851, he, not unreal
sonably orunnaturally, mounted his war-horse,
bran,lishcd his sword in the air, and fought
his campaigns over again. He made battle
field of every stump in the State, from Holly
Springs to the Louisiana line. " Fellow-citi-
zens, said he 81 have been, all my life, a
soldier in the service of liberty and my coun-
try. When the bugle call of freedom re-
sounded in Texas / raised command and
rushed to The front, sharing the giories of San
Jacinto and the Lone Star. When the tocsin
Of war wits heard upon the Rio Grande,
again obeyed the summons, and proceeded at
once to the scene of action. At Palo Alto and
Resaca de Ia Palma was in the thick of the
fight; at Monterey and Duena Vista, before
the walls of Chepultepec, all along the line of
Taylor and ScotI, breasted the stolm of shot
and shell, until at last, with my own hands,
placed the glorious Star Spangled Banner upon
the halls of Montezumas.' General Quitman
was an earnest eaSer, a brave and true SOL
der, and man Of han,ls me personal appear
ance and bearing. All that he said of him
self WAS t,ue and spoken among his native
people, many Of whom had shared his glory
and his tolls, it was not, therefore, out of
