have, in fact, exercised no apprceiablc
influence on the Legislation of the State
Il is true that they have generally voted
the Republican ticket, but il can hardly
be said that the right of suffrage shall be
taken away from colored man because
he has generally voted that ticket.
We believe that the rcopening of this
question of suffrage will only have a ten
dcncy to antagonizc the races. 1t may
and will create jealousies and heartburn
ings, but will result in nothing else
The 18th and 10Th Amendments have
been passed by two-thirds majority of
both Houses of Congress, have been RAJ
tilted by the Legislatures of three-fourths
Of the States, AND, in addition to all that,
have been adopted by the platforms of

MARYLAND Politics.

On Wednesday last the Democratic
Convention of the First Congressional
District nominated Ex-Governor Philip
Francis Thomas for Congress. The nom
inee is well known throughout the State,
having been Secretary Of the United
States Treasury, Governor of Maryland,
Comptroller of the State Treasury, Col
lector of the port of Baltimore, besides
having filled other positions of honor and
trust.
In the Fifth Congressional District, ON
Wednesday, the Republican Convention
nominated for Congress Hon. Alexander
b. Ilagner, of Annapolis. The Balti-
more SIM, speaking of Mr.. Hagncr, says;
Mr.. Hagncr is native of Washing
ton, d. c., about forty-fye years old,
and son of Hon. Peter lIagner, who
was for many years Third Auditor of the
United States Treasury. lie is a lawyer,
in large practice, and possessed of brill
liant forensic ability, Of which he gave
evidence in the celebrated case Of Mrs.
Wharton, in which he was Of counsel.
lie graduated at Princeton College, y
j. and is gentleman of culture. In
politics Mr. Hagner was Wing, but at
ter the decay of that party he did not in
timately affiliate with the debris of its
disruption, and although he has been con-
sidcrcd what was called Union man, he
had not until recently identified himself
with the Republican party. He repre-
scented Anne Arundel county in the
House of Delegates in 1854, and was an

nomination, in despite Of the radical op-
position to him, is apparent evidence Of
the decadcnce in lower Maryland of that
unclcan subSeryicncy to partisan radical
ism which has long prevailed there, and
gives hope of a publication of the politi-
cal atmosphere that will cnurc to the
benefit of all classes in that region.

CUBAN AFFAIRS. condition of Cuba
grows worse from day to day. Rumors have
reached this city from pretty reliable sources
that the city of Bayamo has been captured
from the Spaniards. Should this prove cor
rect the interior of the Eastern Department is
completely in the hands of the insurgents.
Bayamo has long been thorn in the side of
the instruction, and its capture will enable
the Cubans to strengthen their organization
considerably. The government proposes to
sell the gold now received from revenue
sources in order to ease the market.
