The thoughtfulness of Gov. Carroll
in opening their prison doors upon
the few of the repeaterS aud ballot
box suffers of 1875 who were unfor-
tunate enough to be convincted and
sentenced for their crimes will I'M
doubleday highly commend him to
the grateful consideration of the Ring
just now in need of experienced par
ties in manipulating the primary and
other election of this year. The lib
erality with which he has distrihut-
ed pardon papers to the offenders is
evidence also that he is not insensi
bic of the debt he owes to those who
introduced him into the Office from
which he would fain step to Sena-
tOrial seat. We can very well under
stand that the sympathy and COM
passion of the Governor were deeply
touched when the picture was presen-
ted to him of these eminent and
useful citizens languishing behind
prison bars, while candidates for
nomination were induStriously
working in the various wards, and
they not there to collar their share
of the plumber and put in some
meritorious labor in the shape of
pudding tickets and pummelling an
audacions opposition. Beyond boubt
he fully comprehends that the men,
tai anguish of such an anticipation
seriously affected the health of the
cOnvicts and imperilled their valu-
able lives. Full of heartfelt apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Carr0II'S magnanimity,
and recognizing his loyalty to the
commands and necessities of German
Bannon and the Court house clique,
they may be expected to display the
most extraordinary zeal in the GER
vice of the Ring during the coming
summer and autumn; for if they do
not the base sin of ingratitude, from
which the Governor has shown him
self to be remarkably free, may be
charged up against them. Their alb
sence from the primaries of last week
was undoubtedly felt, and the need
of the extra figures on the side of the
Ring that they might have been able
to roll up perh APPS brought to the
Governor the conviction that they
sh uld be released in time to get
themselves into eff cient working
order by the time the June primaries
come round. OF course malignant
and envious antagonism TO the Gov
ernor's Senatorial ambition and to
the self-Sacrificing spirit of patrio-
tism in which the Bring proposes to
take entire charge of the city and
State Governments, will insinuate
that they are in such straits that they
have been compelled to 90 to the Jail
and penitentiary for recruits but gen.
erous dispositions will recognize that
when the objects arrived at are to
honor Maryland with Carroll in
the Senate and a German in the
executive chair, charity should cover
the means employed.-BaLtinaore

Mr.. E. V. Smalley, of the New

has interviewed Governor Drew of
that State, who is represented as say
ing: Florida is getting on very well
under the new order of things. Close
economy is being introduced in all
branches Of the government. We
shall save this year 100000 in our
court expenses, S25, 900 in the cost of
running the penitentiary, and a very
large gross sum in county expenses.

The Democratic officers of New
York who have refused to recognize
Mr.. Hayes as President ought to APP
preciate such an opinion as the one
subjoined from an ultra Democratic
Southern organ, the Vicksburg,
Miss Herald: 1--WE will venture
to assert that the President would
not meet with such treatment in any
one of the Southern States. We
hope that he will soon find it conve-
nient to visit the South, that he may
compare the treatment that he Will
receive from the White Leaguers
with that of the New Workers."

Out of five hundred or more pro-
fessional rowdies who did the work
assigned them by the "Ring" at the
State and municipal elections in this
city in the fall of 1875 some seven or
eight were convicted and sent to

The President is represented as be-
ing highly pleased with the letter of
Senator Morton, and it is said that
he contemplates making acknowl-
edgement of his appreciation for the
unprejudiced and statesmanlike
view expressed by Senator Morton
upon his action. A Cabinet officer,
also says that Mr.. Morton has sum-
med up the entire question, so far as
the action of the President is cor
cerned, in the single sentence in
which he says. "The question was,
Should the President yield to the
inevitable, or proceed only to newt
able defeat?" That single sentence
is the epitome of all the long and ex-
haustive argument that have been
made. 1t includes all the numerous
excuses that have been offered and
all the theories that have been adj
vanced with reference to the Presi-
dents policy. Senator Morton, he
says, wisely waited until the atmos-
phere became clear, and plainly see
ing the purposes aimed to be accomp-
lished, the results which are promis-
ed, and the effect produced on the
popular mind, has furnished anargu-
ment in justification of the President
and advice which is calculated to
console those who are disposed TO feel
some disappointment.

What is the matter with Governor
