Of the most conspicuous and bitter, and de-
cidedly the most talented, of the whole fra
teruity of Iesding boilers referred to the
hoy,irg from Conservatism in Maryland as
originating in the same desire for reform
that moved the boilers in Richmond. The
same person INDUCED very sangune hopes
of the success of these Maryland reformers.
He aeduced from the rebellion in Maryland
the highest encouragement for their sympa-
thlzers in Virginia; and, indeed, all the lead.
ing Richmond boilers were hoping and pro-
phssying victory to the self.styled Reformers
of Mary land.
What is the result? The utter rout oil

CARROLL, of CarroIlton, the signer of the
Declaration of Independence, beats HARRIS
RldicaD 15,167 votes; and Meme TEKEL
WALLIS is beaten by 14,25S votes by GwINN
Democrat) Indeed, the Demo cratic ticket was
carried entire over the Reformers, who had
formed the same alliance with Radicaas and
negroes that the Independents formed here.
One of their nominees that Of WILKINS for
controller-was Radical. TEAKLE WALLIS
is gentleman of high fame and Of Con-
sentative politics, who in moment OF
caprice and Irritation lent himself to the
mistaken scheme of the Reformers. His
thorough defeat has taught him valuable
lesson. Men cannot without violating their
faith and loyalty 60 off from party like the
Conservative and seek its destruction by al.
lance with negroes aud Radicals.
And what is the Reform party after all-or
rather, its leaders-but men disappointed and
discontinued, who cannot be at rest unless
they are allowed to rule the roost? and who,
If successful, would out-Herrod the men they
desire to supplant in all the matter Of sell
fshness and tyranny So arbitrary and over
bearing would be their party, and so sordid
their rings, that we should be driven to
another reform party to save the State from
their ruinous policy.
Maryland has taught good lesson to our
Independents. They would have been very
happy had the Conservative party been bro.
ken mp. Fortunately, their feelings are not
at all pleased by the good sense and loyalty
to the Slate of the Maryland Conservatives,
and they find not from the elections in that
State anything to please them or give them
announcement in their faithlessncss to their
party here. ....

Combination and Bad Faith.

Colonel NoRMAND SMITH has brought to
Ii chit some interesting facts and crcum.
stances relating to the recent alliance be.
tween the boilers and the Radicals, firm
which 1t appears that the Radicals have not
met with that fair dealing which they dis
played towards their allies.
This morning thatgentleman adds to what
has appeared In this paper on the subject q
very important letter, to which we invite
particular attention.
The exact nature Of the treaty between
the high contracting parties on behalf of the
Radicals on one side and the so-ealled indie
pendents on the other we suppose cannot be
known, as 1t appears to have been mainly
conducted in a verbal manner; but quite
enough is known to show beyond all ques.
tion that there was a clear understanding be-
tween the Two parties, and the result has
shown that the contract was not fulfilled.
Colonel SIXTH brought up his forces nobly,
and they fought faithfully for KNIGHT and
Stake. In return for this fidelity on the
part OF the Radicals their nominee Is be-
trsyed, and falls behind KNIGHT ], 2S3 vo:es in
the city. SNrR's deficit upon the comparison
with the vote Of one Of bis allies was caused
partly by the failure Of the boiling voters to
vote for him, and partly by the distribution
OF ticket printed by the party of boilers
which dropped the name Of SAITH, having.
only those Of kNisHT and STARKE upon it.
This ticket was close imitation of that
which had sMrH's name upon 1t; the
size, the kind of paper aud of type be-
ding precisely the same. Negroes who could
not read had this ticket, on which
sHra's name did not appear, placed In their
hands by the distributors employed by the
managing boilers. These voters went TO
the polls to vote for SMITH, but were de-
priyed Of the opportunity by this deceptisa.
They more desired to vote for SMITH than
they did for KNIGRr and srARKE, and
probably would not have voted for
these latter II they had net supposed
