Mr. Gary whilst telling the coored people
they owed every thing to the Republican par
y, their freedom, ;hcir right to marry and
give in marriage and their right to vote, in the
next breath said he did not want to deal with
the past, as it would he exactly what Mr..
Hamilton would like him to do. But he
wound up by urging the same colored people
to ,oto him tne candidate Of the party
which had aj,eays befricnded them.
In 1866 the Republicans had full sway in
Maryland with q Republican gov. rnor at the
head of atliirs, and constitution which had
just been framed by convention in which
that party had anovcrwhelming majority aud
adopted what provisions It pleased. On ne
e'h ofJme 1865 the State Convention Of that
party met in Baltimore, and Mr.. james A.
Gary was a delegate from Howard county
Among the resolutions then adopted was thc
following viz.
nance ot tue present Constitution Of Maryland.
Nhich expressly prohibits 10th rebel -uaIa -r

The coming Contest - Prepartions for the
Ertra Session Of Congress - Probable
Change in the English Mission Death Of
Surgeon General Wood,eorlh More Ne,cs
for the Pensioners
WAsHrF 6ToN, y. C., March Is.
The arrival ofmany members and of poltl.
clans from every section, and the presence Of
n formable Reinforcement ofOfiice.seekerS has
completely metamorphr sed the appearance of
things here. Tonight the hotels, for the first
time since the adjournment of Congress, pre-.
sent an animated and busy appearance. The
Speakership contest ahsorbs the attention Of
everybody. The headquarters of rival candi-
dates have been thronged all night. Both
sides express themselves equally confident.
Blackburn's friends are the most demonstra-
tive, ami claim sevanty-fiye votes sure. II
takes sevcnty.two to nominate in caucus.
RanGall's supporters are less communicative
than their opponents, and merely state that
success is theirs beyond all doubt. There
is no doubt that Blackburn is developing
more strength than was anticipated. Three
new members VIII were counted for Randall
have declared themselves for Blackburn. Ue-
spite these gains betting cOntinu In favor
Of Randall, and the Jud gnent Ofall impartial
men is almost unanimous that Randall will
win. All calculations, however, can only be
based on surmises aud conjecture, since there
are not enough members in town to warrant
an one in forming positive opinion as to the
result. While Randall has a decided advan-
tage at present. It is more than possible that
Blackburn may defeat him. Indeed, Black.
burns prospects are better tonight than at
any time since the contest began. 1t is need
less TO add that all the lobby Influences are
working stIenuously against Randall, and
will spare no effort to defeat him. Concern.
ing the organization Of the House, II is ad.
mitted that the Democrats will have their
| full strength here on ! uesday, aud will thus
/ be enabled TO elect caucus nominees fol
! Speaker and clerk. The GTeenbaekeTs have
dwindled down to.almost nothing and theiI
twenty-five men, in buekTam, have been re.
dueed TO i've, but whether the latter will
stick is uncertain.
Very few people have any idea Of the pres
ure q. at Is being brought to bear on Senatori
and Kepresentiyes by the people who wan
plaeos about the Capitol. II is something
awful. The Southern men are especially per
secuted. Senator Gordon has been III for

"A good many patriots, with no special
and proper personal interest in the passage
of the riot losses bill, have been making
themselves conspicuous as its advocates in
Harrisburg, and they seem to have plenty
oil money at their command. The Delaware
County Record, which declined to be bought
at ten cents line to advocate the passage OF
the bill, publishes circular apparently pre-
pared for general distribution to the editors
of country newspapers, inviting them To
publish as reading matter long argument
in favor Of the bill, They are also invited
to send bills "at your usual rates, not exceed
ing ten cents per line" The Delaware
County Record declined to be bought, but
published, instead, the personal circular
thus exposing the terms on which "publc
opinion" is manufactured.

Special New York Letter.
New YoRK, MARCH Is, 1875

NEW York, MARCH Is, 1879.
DEAR ADvocATE,-The great Internation-
al Walking Match is over, and except on
Election night, New York has never seen as
much continuous excitement for one whole
week as the one just past. High and low,
rich and poor, of every grade, shade and col
or gave up all thoughts of the outside world
in the one absorbing topic of the day. No
matter where you met or see two or more
people together, you can at once devine the
subject Of their conversation, and on ap.
preaching near enough to distinguish the
sound of their voices some one of the flor the
time being) familiar household names will
break upon your ears as q result of the great
contest. Rowcll, the English representative,
takes away as his share Of the receipts $2l ;
900. The championship belt, which is a
very elaborate affair, costing 500 dollars, but
which he will have to compete for twice
more before it becomes his personal proper
ty. However the plucky little fellow de-
serves all he got, for he won by fair and
honest effort, and won besides the sympath-
les Of his most invetcrate enemies, by his
many noble and manly achievements dur
ing the race. As little gamin remarked
ale looked on the track as if he was poor
little orphan boy what didn't have no Fader
and no Mudder."
Ennis defeat is attributed by many to ne
glect Of proper handling at the start, and
through the first days of the race. lie is
without doubt the coming long distance ped
estriau, taking o'Learys place; but poor
Charley Hartman, Buquet Charley, even
though last in the contest, in reality had
more Of the sympathies OF that vast and ever
changing multitude than either of the three,
for he pulled through suffering the most in
tense agonies, and but for the encouragement
shown him by Rowell and Ennis he would
undoubtedly have broken down. They at
one time supporting him arm in arm around
the track for a number of "laps." Ennis
takes 81 2 500 and Hartman $4,000, O'Lea.
| ry has, am sorry to say, but few sympa-
/ thizersj as such was the peoples unbounded
confidence in his powers Of endurance that
hs'sudden breaking down is thought by the
majority TO be only sham, notwthstand-
ing his emphatic denial Of any underhand
work.
A riot was eminent, and it was rumorcd
that the militia would be called out, but
happily such was not the case.
st. Pataick's day came in rough and
stormy. 1t passed of in this city quietly,
The parade was not so extensive as in for
mer years, the fine military bearing and
movements of the Goth Regiment being the
chief feature of the day. PETE.

Fred Douglass writes long letter to the
Philadelphia Press in opposition to the
schemes for negro colonization. He thinks
that the negroes if placed. in a separate
territory would meet the fate Of the Indians
and Gays: "That negro suffrage will ultim-
ately be respected in the South as now in
the North have not the least doubt. Hu
man nature in one section is about the same
as in the other. Human progress cannot be
confined to any one part of our common
country. What is true ofa part must at last
be true Of the whole. | remember when
the negro was not very welcome citizen OF
Massachusetts when he was not allowed
abaft Of the wheel on steamboats,; when he
was dragged and kicked out of railroad cars;
when he was not allowed to enter concert,
lyceum, theatre or church on equal terms
land in some cases on any terms) with other
varieties OF the human family. All this is
changed now. Time, effort and events
have done wonders in that old common
wealth and in all the states of the North.
The same beneficial agents will produce the
same results in the South"

A Washington correspondent has found
out that Senator Conklng's neckties, like
the lions tail. are an index Of his mind.
lie says: "when the Senator came back
here at the beginning of the last session he
wore a white tie, and under his blonde hair
it gave him quite an ethereal aspect lie
was then playing the role of the generous
foe, and was apparently quite inoffensive.
But later when II, began to gather himself
up for war upon the President, he put on
his rcd tic, the ensign of battle. Lately,
however, he has worn mostly the blue, as
being symbolic for the state of his feelings.
He will probably continue the blue for some
time to come. II Grant is nominated in
1850 we shall perhaps sec the Senator, with
a necktie of all three colors blended in bril-
ant harmony"
