MARYLAND Politics

Montgomery Blair, a citizen of MARYLAND, in
the autumn of his days, has been sadly cast
down by failure to reascend into national
politics through the suffrages Of that state. He
appealed, under strong patronage, TO be nOmi-
mated by the democratic convention for the five
western c0uLttes OF Maryland. This would
have made him the representative of the bOur-
bCns OF Frederick, the bushmen OF Montgom-
cry, the Dutchmen of Washington, the coal
Giggers OF AlIegany, and the gladeFs of Garrs
counties. With such an animated constituency
be might have been reelected from year to
year, and become an institution again. 10 bis
favor were the state ring, headed by Senator
elect Pinckney White, and the canal ring,
headed by German. Whyte will take his Sc Al
in the Senate in ls15; and he relied upon Blair
who lives iu style opposite the White House, to
enable him. under that imposing roof, to RI val

Of the heads CT their electors, that Blair had
been in Lincolns Cabinet and signed the proc

men, must desPise such soggy IDEAS, though
they teach and encourage them. The cOnstitu-

A BALTIMORE REAL ESTATE BROKER AB-
sCoNDs.-For several days past there has been
no small sur IN certain circles over the absence
from Baltimore and t1e transactions of a We'll
known real estate broker, named L. Hobtay
who has several times figured before courts of
justice rs principal against whom were laid
grave charges. The last appearance OF Mr..
HObcay at the bar of a criminal court was in
New York, his arrest having been made here
on requisItion from Hthe Governor of New
York, and the charge against him being that he
had sold TO brokers in New York about 40 600
worth of fraudulent bonds. The trial resulted
in the acquittal of Holiday, and he returned to
Baltimore, relieved, in the opinion of his
friends, from the cloud upon his character. N
will also be remembered that Mr.. HOLIDAY was
leading witness in the defense of Mrs. Gen
81. Arlington, who was charged with keeping a
baWdy mouse on North Carey street. She, too
escaped, and 1T is said is now a resident Of
washington. tTbe offensss of HOLIDAY have
now assumed greater and more definite shape,
and sundry persons are bemoaning their lack
or penetration into his character. The principal
losers are DIR. Baldwin, No. 12i North Exeter
street; Dr.. Mahon, of PeDnsylvanIs; Mr..
tucker, OF Connecticut, and the amount foots
up $4,000; DIR. Baldwin losing So, 600, and
DR.. Mahon and Mr.. TIcker each $1,000.
The money was placed in the hands OF the
abscondiDg broker for inveetment N real estate
and it is said that Holiday gave certificates OF
the record OF mortgages upon real estate which
were supposed to secure the investments, and
Baldwin, who acted for DR.. Mahon and Mr.
Tucker. The certinostes turn out to be forge
ries, and Hobbay cannot be found, and has been
absent from Baltimore for Q week. Detective
Pointer has been engaged, bat it is believed
that Canada has been reached by HOLIDAY and
II so he cannot be taken, the extradition laws
forbidding. On Saturday the wife of HOLIDAY
who remained behind, and who, il Is stated
had made preparations TO ship his furniture to
Europe, was arrested on the charge OF false
pretenses, but was released on bail TO appear
before the grand jury. Col. 81, III, F. Won
