The Maryland Republicans,
THE CONVENTION OF Yesterday.


BALTIMORE, April "a.
The Maryland Republican Convention, to-day,
was fully representative Of every county in the
State, showing that the spirit Of the party is
alive and prepared to make good fight next
Fall. The Democratic legislation at the last
session Of the General Assembly was so infa :
nous in many ways, men were bought
and sold 80 like cattle, that thousands of
Democrats are disgusted with their own
party and its management, which has been
growing worse since they recovered the control
of the State, five years ago. Consequently, Re-
publicans are hopeful of winning new converts,
and this spirit was plainly shown in the Conyen-
ton to-day
The contest between the friends Of General
King and General Dennison, on one side, and
y. O. Fulton and Collector John d. Thomas, on
the other, was renewed, and there was consider
able disorder. 1t is said the former party is for
Senator Wilson, for Vice President, while the
latter tavors Mr.. Colfax. Mr.. Fulton inAugura-
ted the 'anti-oficeholder" movement, and con-

Confidence swINDLE.--A terrible confidence
swindle was perpetrated upon Joseph Sapp last
Thursday, by couple Of strangers. While one
of the men was trying to insure Mr.. s. life the
other came in and said he had some goods in
the Custom House, Baltimore but he had no
money to pay the duty on them. He had two
valuable gold watches which he would leave as
security for what Sapp might advance him,
SO Mr.. s. gave &140 and took the two "saluable
gold watches as security for the prompt return
OF the money in few days. Immediately upon
receiving the money, both men jumped into a
buggy which the Insurance agent had come in,
and drove rapidly away. 1t is almost needless
to add that Mr.. Sapp discovered that his two
valuable watches'i were not worth $40, and that
he been badly victmzed. 1t is supposed that
these are the same gentry who swindled gem
tloman in Delaware City, in the same manner, a
short time ago.
