The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday contain
ed long and remarkable letter from Mr.. j.
A. j. Creswell, which contains terrible ar
raignment of Mr.. G. c. Fulton, editor of the
american. Letters from Fulton to Creswel
are quoted, in one of which Fulton says

ington, where l could help the american by
securing advertising, &C., and if the place of
Registrar of the Treasury, which is now vr-
tually vacant, could be secured for me, it
would be the height of my ambition. 1t is
said to be worth but $4,000 an salary, and
there will doubtless be but few applicants for
it," The recent revelations ofthe Republican
leaders in Maryland concerning each other,
will serve to enlghten many honest Repub-
licans who have hereto fore had implicit con-
tidence in the honesty and devotion to prin-
ciple of their party leaders. To all the pco-
pie of the State, indeed, the recent exposures
will furnish food for thought.

A Corrupt Political Bargain.

One of the most corrupt political transac-
tons that has come to light lately is the letter
of Mr.. Charles G.. Fulton, editor of the Bal
timore american, to President Hayes, in
which the former offers the State Of Mary
land and the city of Baltimore to the Repub-
leans, in return for the removal of Collector
wilkins and the appointment of John l.,
Thomas. The proposition to the President
by Mr.. Fulton is in these words
"If the President will promptly make the
appointments for Maryland that have been
suggested to him by Mr.. Thomas and myself
it will cectrify the whole State, and pro-
mise him in return the election of reform
candidate for mayor next fall. The rural
districts of Maryland are Republican and
when the Baltimore rings of the Bourbon
Democracy are broken their power will be
gone"
President Hayes has evidently assented to
the terms Of the contract, by performing his
share Of it but it remains TO be seen whether
or not Mr.. Fulton can carry it fulfil his pro-
mise He claims to represent the largest por-
ton of the Republican party in Maryland,
but from the mutterings of discomfort heard
throughout the ranks of that party it is not
ut all within the range Ct probability that
this corrupt bargain can be consummated.-
The Republicans of Baltimore city would
only support Warfield for mayor with n view
to make break in the Democratic line, and
with such an acrimonious contest as they are
now engaged in, il is not at all likely they
will rally with any unanimity to his support,
since he does not claim to be n Republican.
Indeed some very prominent Republicans
have openly announced their determination
to support Col Kane, who has been identified
with the cause of reform in city politics fully
as much rs Mr.. Warfield has, and whose
character rs q citizen is beyond reproach.-
We fail also to see any connection between
the changes of officials at the Baltimore
custom house and politics in the rural dis
trcts" of the State The minor appoint
ments have been and will continue to be given
only to Republicans, no matter who is Colec
tor, and it is a matter in which the Demo-
Gratis, who hold the majorities in the counties,
have no concern. They are in the position
of the woman who regarded with perfect in
difference the fight between her husband and
the bear--they don't care which whips.
If President Hayes is honest in his efforts
TO effect II reform in the matter of civil APP
pointments, Mr.. Futons letter proposing a
bribe for the removal Of an acknowledged
faithful and competent officer, is a downright
insult to the President If Mr. Hayes's re.
form measures are merely pretcnce and u
sham, his part in this transaction is simply
disgraccfll, and will fix upon him more firm
" than before the brand of fraud"
The gcnuineness of the letter has not been
denied, and MS Mr.. Hayes received it before
he made the change of Collectors, it will be
hard to convince the public that he is not
party to the shameful bargain.

A BALTIMORE COUNTY SENSATIONAL
startling sensation was caused at Towson-
town, last Saturday, by the grand jury bring
ing in presentments against Judges Richard
Grason and George Yelott, for "malfeasance
and cutting short the grand inquest" The
grand jury were investigating the accounts
of the County Commissioners in relation to
the disbursement of what is known as the
Almshouse Fund, amounting TO 100000 be-
ing the proceeds of the sale of the county
almshouse property, and also the settlement
between the city and county, since 1856 in
the matter of removed cases
The judges, in nole to the grand Jury,
stated that they had learne from the foreman
of the grand jury that it was impossible to
fix charge of misdemeanor or crime upon
any one, and they had no reasonable ground
to believe that the investigation would result
in presentment In view of these facts,
and of the further fact that the session of the
grand jury had already been protracted, and
that longer continuance of the session
would entail considerable burden upon the
taxpayers of the county without any assur-
ance of presentments being found against
any one, the court would adhere to its deci-
sion,, announced on the Monday previous,
and adjourn for the term on Saturday after
noon.
Judge Grason feels aggrieved at the action
of the grand jury, and asserts that he was will
ing to give any time necessary for the con-
pletion of the investigation if he had had any
assurance that their abors was to result in
the presentment or indictment of any one
He is of opinion, though he has not had time
to examine the matter thoroughly, that ne-
Their he nor Judge Yellott are competent
while under presentment to exercise any au-
thorty of the court in chancery or other bus
mess The judge says he will demand an
investigation, and that he will not insist on
an indictment being framed, but he is willing
to go to trial on the States attorney reducing
to writing what is included in malfeasance.
Both Judges Grason and Yellott think it
right that they should not take part in select
ing the jury for the September term of court,
as their own cases might probably come be-
fore them, They have therefore directed Mr..

Isaac, Clerk of the Court, to request Judge
Waters, who lives in Hartford county, to
come to Towsontown for that purpose.
Judge Yellott says he has lived too long in
the community to allow this matter to dis
turb his equanimity. He thinks the grand
jury was actuated by malice and resentment
toward the court because it exercised its own
Judgment about adjourning. Judge Walters,
he says, was also in favor of adjournment,
and if he had been on the bench Judge Vel
lott supposes he would have been indicted

Judge Yeott does not agree with Judge
Grason that the presentment disqualifies
them from transacting equity or other bust

trial, the case will lie heard before Judge
Walters, the other Judge of the circuit, who
will sit alone in the Towsontown court.
