Political Notes.

The Maryland Republicans have nominated
James 8. suter and John n. Cox, for Congress
in Baltimore, against OBrien and Swami. Mr..
suter is a well-known citizen, has served in the
City Council, been chief engineer of the Water
Department, and was ono OF the contractors for
bringing tho city's water supply from Gunpow-
der river. Mr.. Cox, who is "Friend," and was
born at Frederick, 10 very excellent man, q
commission merchant, president Of the House
Of Reformation for Colored Children, and an &C.
tive member Of the Poor Association and the
Prisoners Aid Society.
A correspondent asks liz sit President Grant
took the part Of his political friends or oppo-
nents in the last Arkansas rebellion 2" meaning
thereby the Brooks-Baxter contest. We are
glad that tue question has been asked, Is it
gives us an opportunity to correct the erroneous
statements OF one or two OF our contemporaries.
President Grant, in the Arkansas affair, decided
against the Republican party and the support
era Of the Administration in that State and by
thus doing turned it over to the tender mercies
OF the White Leaguers, which have since COM
pletely recognized the government and con-
shtution. Baxter, the Democrat, however, had,
a. Kellogg has, the law on his side and no
course other than that he took was open to the
President Philnda. Press.
The second Maryland Congressional district,
Cecil, Hartford, Carroll and Baltimore counties)
ia very close. Stevenson Archer, (Den,.) beat
Major A. u. Hancock, two years ago, by only
900 majority. The candidates are now Chas *
Roberts, CDem.) Of Carroll, and John T. Ensor,
Of Towsontown, Baltimore Co. Mr.. Ensor Is
lawyer Of good standing, who has served In the
Legislature and as States attorney, filling the
latter office for nve years, In 1868, he ran for
Congo ss in the "forlorn hope" when Maryland
was In its most extreme Democratic spirit and
WAS beaten by 6,s75 majority. He may now be
elected.
To whom 1t may concern: The New Orleans
Picdyune, Democratic organ in Louisiana says
They tell us that our disorder aud turbulence
have prejudiced the Democratic cause at the
North. Well, who cares "
In the Oregon Legislature the independents
hold the balance Of power between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in each house, The three
parties are nearly equally divided.
waitman T. Wiley declines to run rs the re-
publican candidate for Congress from the second
district Of West Virginia, and the contest will
probably be between Alex. Boteler, independent
and Chas. J. Faulkner, democrat
