1nstructiens 70 Military In the South
~ Associated Press.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 4.-The Cabinei
met today and discussed the letter of in.
structions from the Attorney Gen
eral to the military commanders, and after
: full exchange Of views upon the sub
ject It WAS finally decided that copy of the
circular letter of instructions of the Attor-
ney- General be referred to General Sherman.
he viii therefore immediately issue gen.
eral order publishing in full the instructions
OF the Attorney General. In case of dis
turbsnce the Marshall need only call upon
the military officer in command and the
proper military force will be furnished him
without delay. Governor Chamberlain after
the instructions of the Attorney General to
United States Marshall's were read ex-
pressed the hope that they
would be sufficient to secure a
free exercise of the election
franchise without report to military or
the posse committees. The greatest danger
to the elective franchise is feared in South
Carolina. and hence that State is the more
particular subject of attention. Troops will
be stationed at the points of threatened
diflculty, so as TO be employed in case of
necessity, which 1t is hoped will not arise.
The instructions of the Attorney General
are the strongest ever issued from the de-
partment of justice with regard to elections.

The recent judgments against the Balli.

amount little short OF million OF dol.
lars, on account OF the arrears OF passen:
ger tar on the Washington Branch-a
railroad in which the State il heavy
stockhoIder--is beginning to invite criti.
cism somewhat OF different character
from that generally INDUCED in. Our CO..
temporary, the Herald and Torch, referring
to this matter, without going into its
merits, very correctly calls attention 10,
and comments upon the fact, "that with
out the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the
State Of Maryland and the city Of Balti-
more would be very far behind other
States and cities in the great race for
agricultural and commercial supremacy.
That company has struggled manfully
with the great companies north OF
US for the important trade OF the West,
and has attained success that is as
founding, the results Of which have been
largely shared by our State and its metro
polls. We think, therefore, that amOre
kindly feeling should be manifested by
our people generally toward company
which has done so much for our own State
during the last twenty years, in the face
OF powerful opposition or competition.
The Baltimore K Ohio Railroad has cx-
tended its connections far and wide over
the Western country, and is drawing to
our State and its great city trade that
has never before reached either, and that
will in the course Of time give the latter
commercial importance that but few of
our large cities enjoy. What indeed, it
may we'll be asked would the State Of
Maryland be without the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad?
This is very proper question, and in
considering It die people should first of
all diyest themselves Of any feeling which
might cloud their Judgement, asis mani
testify what the writer has done in this
instance. By culpable oversight in our
legislation, q tax ofone-ffth Of The gross
receipts Of the road is imposed upon our
own road, whilst foreign corporation Is
by US exempted from any such tax, and
thus are we placed in ruinously anon.
alous position, from which it will take
all the wisdom and tact Of our best citi-
zens to extricate Us.
