The United states Senaforship.

Some writer in the Democratic iirocI'6,
at Westminster, strongly urges the claims
of Hon. WIN. NJ. Merrick for this position.
We extract the following remarks:
The time has come when the people cx-
pect that those to whom they have com
mitted the right to select person To so
high position, that they will select such
an one as will be an honorable successor
Of Maryland's distinguished Senators in
days gone by.
Among the names of those who will be
presented to the Legislature. and now
prominently mentioned, will be that ofth
Hom ". NJ. Merrick, one whose name and
whose high political integrity is well
known throughout the State. Judge Mer-
rick has occupied several of the most hon
orable positions in the State, and when a
member of Congress won the praise and
honor of the press throughout the country
not only from the press OF his own party
but of the Republican party, for his hero
ic and manly efforts in the investigation
of the Credit Mobiler frauds. and in that
investigation knew no one, except to dis
cover the truth and expose the fraud, and
to him it did not matter when those of his
owu political creed were involved for they
received no protection or Tbte-iraShiBg re-
port from him; he was also the first mar
to denounce the Salary Grab, and the first
| to decline the extra pay

good men-the christian bankers and mer-
chants, unwittingly dispense good to their
graceless fellow-men, even by their mlstor-
tunes When the Senators dispose of this
matter they will have on their hands anoth-
er very considerable elephant in the shape
of Mr.. Pinchback, 4 yellow barber from
Louisiana, who claims to have been elect
ed Senator by the so-called Kellogg GOV
eminent, which has been recognized by
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Attorney General " IL
liams. The Republican party is very much
divided on this question, and it will pro
badly be debated at very great length, as
it involves grave questions of States rights
and constitutional law. Then we have the
financial question, which is of most press
ing Importance and about which no two
of the Republican party seem to agree, but
each one has some scheme Of his own, and
all of which. when boiled down to a con
sistency, amount, in one form or the other,
to no more nor less than initiation. Then be
hind all this is the one-idca man, Mr. sum
ner, with his pet progeny-the Civil Rights
bill-which he will avail himself of every
occasion to present and press. So, take II
all in all. Congress will have questions be
fore it which will consume much time, and
which for their solution ought to have the
most commanding inteilects of the age.

Our Railroad.

Since our Railroad has become d reality,
and the novelty has worn off, think the
attention of its managers should be called
20 the fact that there is no sort Of accom-
mediation at the terminus Of the road,
either for travellers or freight, a fact some
what singular in the history of railroads.
Passengers at the terminus and below, II
they wish to take the early train, have to
travel six or seven miles up the road to
CoN's Station at Il very early hour in the
morning, or else take the cars in the even
ing and stay at the Station or in the neigh
borhood until next morning, away from
their families and business. to say nothing
of the cost The Inconvenience to persons
getting goods from Baltimore is also very
great. II You order bill Of goods to be
delivered at the terminus Of the road you
are compelled to be there when the train
arrives, orrun the risk Of losing your goods,

The Maryland Legislature.

This body duly assembled on Wednes-
day. in accordance with the provisions of
the Constitution. In both Houses there
was only a temporary organization. each
adjourning in short time until the next
day. Mr.. Longwell, of Carroll county, was
elected as President pro tenn. of the Senate;
and Mr.. Watkins, of Montgomery, tempo
rary presiding officer of the House of Del
egates.
Caucuses of the Democratic members of
each House were held Wednesday night.
Hon. John Lee Carroll, of Howard, was Sc
lected by the members of the Senate as
the House continued its session until o.
clock yesterday morning--a question and
debate having arisen upon the admission
of the Independent Democrats to the eau
Gus. The latest report is that the hide
pendents had been excluded; and that Mr..
Hines, of Kent, had been declared the eau
Gus nominee for Speaker. His opponent
was Dr. Henkle of Anne Arundel Milton
Y. Kidd, late Clerk, was selected as the
candidate for that position, and DR.. VIM.
H. Cole, of Baltimore city, as Reading
Clerk
Some questions will arise in the House
as to the qualifications ofsome of the mem
bers. The seats of Messrs. Latchford and
Robey are contested under section 10 of
article of the State Constitution, provid-
ing that no person holding an office under
the United States shall be eligible as a
Senator or Delegate. The former having
been clerk in one of the Departments,
and the latter postmaster, at the date of
their election.
We presume that both Houses effected
their permanent organization yesterday
and are now ready for the business of the
session.

Mr.. EDITOR In Il communication OF

prise. he represents that the trustees of No.

the law in their hands and before their
eyes have voluntarily rclapsed into their
former errors" Designing reports of Il teach
cr not duly elected. This is utterly untrue.
If any report is in the possession Of Mr..
Lloyd. regularly signed by the trustees OF
this school. for the session just terminated,
it is fraud that should be investigated
\ blank report for this school was sent
to the trustees to be signed. Regarding IL

it, in substance, the following:

The third trustee, Mr. Huntington, was
not called on.
This we regarded as protest to the School
Board IN the shortest and plainest way, a
gainst the payment of this party.
If there is a report in the hands of Mr..
Lloyd with the names of the trustees of
this school appended, or any of them. it is
forgery. Ihaye Just conversed with these
gentlemen and they deny signing any in

Of 81, 900 The examination disclosed the

Cd with the unfortunate affair:
Somervillc, the deceased, with another

that he was drunk and not to mind him as
it was his way. Harry then asked Mr..
Cook. who was present, to help to put de

The State Elections in Texas Upset.

\ dispatch from Houston, dated the 9th
inst, says that the Supreme Court of Tex
as has decided adversely TO the election
law framed by the thirteenth Legislature,
under the provisions of which the recent
election was held, and the law declared
unconstitutional. This decision annuls
the late election, and retains in office the
thirteenth Legislature and the present
Governor-Gov. Davis. There is great
excitement throughout the State and the
people anticipate repetition of the recent
history of Louisiana. The following is
the section of the new Constitution which
Republicans claim was violated by the
election act of the last Legislature: All
elections for State. district and county
officers shall be held At the county seats
of the several counties until otherwise
provided by law, and the polls shall he
open four days, from 5 o'clock in the
morning until o'clock in the evening OF
each day" The election act ordered the
polls to be kept open for one day only.
The court which gave this decision Is
a remnant of military rule, never having
been put in position by fair vote of the
people. 1t was anticipated that it would
respond to the wishes of the Republican
officials, who wanted to hold on to their
offices, especially as its own continued eN-
istence was involved in the question.
