- y meeting of colored Republicans
was held in Baltimore on Tuesday evening
last and protests were uttered against the
Republican City Convention and the State
Central Committee, declaring that they i'll
not hearken to the voice Of the colored
men and let them have decent represen-
tation; and moreover charged, that true
Republican, be he white or black, cannot
attain position in the Custom House, as
it is filled with men who fought under the
banner of the Confedcracy. An indepen-
dant colored Republican party is talked
OF, but as yet no decisive steps have been
taken.

can journal published at Ellicott City
calls upon its party to send their best
men to Congress, and adds: ''Let then
be representative Republicans, honest and
above suspicion. We want no milk-and
water men who style themselves 'hedepen-
dent Demoerats.' They must come out fair
ly and squarely, endorsing the principles
of the Republican party. If they can't
march to the music Of the eternal princi-
pies of Republicanism, do not touch them
We care not what they have been in the
past; but what are they now ? is the ques-
tion''
Our Republican contemporary is doubt
less right in demanding an answer to his
question. But we hope that if Indepen-
dent Democrats have any of the old princi-
pies left in them, they will have the manly
independence to come back to the old
fold again and stand up for the true prin-
ciples of our government

- The Democratic party believe in
the doctrine of States Rights, or Home
Rule, and regard it as vital, fundamen-

of centralizing political power at Wash

State governments altogether. This is a
wide difference between the two parties

ion that the cause of death was apopleXy.
The body will be taken to Prince Georges

known in Baltimore and was at one time
an Inspector in No. Tobacco Warehouse.

We were taken by surprise to learn from
the papers on Tuesday last, that warlike
proceedings were being enacted at New
Orleans, occasioned, it seems, by the Selling
Of arms of citizens by the authority of Gov
Kellogg. A meeting of the citizens was
called on Monday to protest against this
outrageous and unconstitutional proceed
ing. y committee was appointed to call
upon the Governor for the purpose of hav
ing an interview with him. The Governor
declined to receive any communication
from the committee or to listen to their
complaints, charging that several large
bodies of armed men in different parts of
the city, were ready to cooperate with
the Mass Meeting of citizens, which he re
garded as a menace. Lieut.. Governor
Penn, claiming to be legally elected with
Governor McEnery. who was absent, soon
after issued a proclamation, calling out
the militia to resist the usurpation of kel-
logg. Armed citizens promptly respond
ed to this call and actual and active hos
| tilities commenced, involving considerable
| bioodshed. The kilograms from New
Orleans on Tuesday state that the State
House surrendered at o'clock on that
morning to Lieut. Governor PENIS militia
without firing gun. Kellogg is in the
Custom House under protection of I. 5.
troops. On Tuesday President Grant
issued proclamation commanding the
turbulent and disorderly persons to dis
tperse and retire peaceably" and to submit
themselves to the laws and constituted
authorities of the State within five days
from the date thereof.
| A telegram from Washington states that
Grant is greatly exasperated by the re
bellion," and expresses himself in regard
to it with unusual heat and freedom"
The following is a dispatch sent on
Tuesday evening by Acting Governor Penn
to the President:
New ORLEANS, September l4-To L. s.
| Grant, President or the United StGtes: Hope
less of all other relief, the people of this State
have taken up arms to maintain the legal au-
| thorlty OF the persons elected by them to the
| Government of the State against the usurpers
who have heaped upon them innumerable in
suits, burdens and wrongs. In so doing they
| are supported by the great body of the intelli-
| gent and honest people of the State. They de-
clare their answering loyalty and respect for
| the United States Government and its officers
| They war only against uSurpers, plundcrers
and enemies of the people. They affirm their
entire ability to maintain peace, and protect
the life, liberty and equal rights Of all classes
of citizens. The property and officials of the
United States it shall be our special aim 10 de-
fend against all assaults and 10 treat with the
protoundeSt respect and loyalty. We only ask
Of you to withhold any aid or protection from
our enemies, and the enemies Of republican
rights, and of the peace ana liberties OF the
people.

Death OF Mrs. Rrawner.

We regret IN be called upon II record
the death Of Mrs. Amanda f.. u. Brawner
wife Of JAS. l.. Brawner, Esq, who died
on Tuesday ut her residence near this town,
Mrs. Brawncr had nearly reached the limit
assigned by the Psalmist for human life,
being in the 6lst year of her age. She had
reared family of nine children, AMI was
living her motherhood over again in the
love of a numerous family of grandchil-
dren, who always surrounded her at this
season of the year. Her illness had been
somewhat protracted, but fond hearts, only
a few days ago, looked forward confidently
to her speedy recovery, of which there was
every prospect. But alas, for the uncer-
tainty of life! The struggle she had pass
ed through was too much for her strength
and she sank calmly to that sleep which
knows no awakening here, and has gone
doubtless to reap the reward Of "a life spent
in the conscientious discharge other duties
We are sure the sympathies Of our people
who have SO long and honorably known
him, will be extended to her husband, who
thus. in the decline of life, is left to travel
his downward path without the compan-
ionship of her who had So long been the
sharer of his JOYS and sorrows.
