The Republicans Of Maryland are an
unharmonias set, and some wnnghng has
occurred recently as to the time Of holding
primaries. Some time ago the State ex-
ecutive committee met and issued call
foFa State Convention. Immediately after,
tho Grant adherents, in order to forestall
public opinion in the State, published a
call for primary elections 10 Baltimore
city, to be held few days AFTER, The
opponents throughout the State interpreted
and another meeting of the State commit
tee was held, This time the committee
vent SO far as to designate the days for
primary meetings and conventions in the
city of Baltimore and in the counties, the
latter to be held first. Frederick county
Republicans rebelled, and determined to
hold their primaries aud convention to
suit themselves, and appointed the 18th
of April for the primaries and the oath as
the time for the county convention. The
State committee took further action this
week, and determined that the city and
counties could select their delegates to the
State convention whenever it suited them

In an article in reply to the Hagerstown
Mail, last week, we stated that but one
Democratic paper in Marylnud--The
Aail-suppOrted Gov. Hamilton in all
his recommendations. We overlooked the
Annapolis Advertiser, however, which is
as enthusiastic in support Of the Governor
as the Mail is, and perhaps a warmer
apolOgist for His Excelleney's failures
than that journal. The Advertiser, though,
is only half Maryland paper, as its first
and fourth pages are printed where the
paper is purchased, and we were only half
mistaken. However, We do not desire to
lessen the administration faction, hence We
make the correction. The Governor s
party is not near as strong US it was, and
its strength may be stated as follows -
One newspaper aud half, from seven to
fifteen Democratic members Of the House
Of Delegates, according to occasion, and
from twelve to twenty Radical members of
the same house, according to the measures
under consideration.

Blackwoods Magazine for March, promptly
repabIished by the Leonard Scott Publishing

serials now running through its pages, offers
two articles which every one on taking up the
number will be likely to turn to at once.
Perhaps the title of one of them, IAN Amer

cure its Immediate perusal; and the reader
will undoubtedly be amused at this semi.

Great Britain and Ireland aud Turkey and
her territories-in both cases an alien race
being camped in conquered country. The
other article which we would particularly call
attention to, is that on the "North- East Pas.

its course was stopped by the ice, and II did

obstructing Legislation.

Mr.. Bannon and his little band Of Dem
ocratic followers are doing nothing in the
House Of Delegates scarcely but obstruct-
ing legislation. Some Of this little faction
are continually interposiug objections to
the passage Of bills by Offering amend
moats, substitutes and motions to strike
out enaeting clauses, aud some Of their
propositions arc absurd in the extreme.
Sonureasouable, indeed, are some Of them,
and so destructive to the efficiency of gov
eminent, that the full Republican vote
cannot be rallied to their support.
On Tuesday, when the general appro-
priation bill was under consideration, Mr..
Bannon offered an amendment to strike
out all under the head Of contingent funds
except the appropriation to the Governors
Office. This amendment, had il been
adopted, would have impaired the eihei-
eucy Of every department Of the govern
ment except that Of the executive. The
treasurer's Office, the comptrollers ofhce,
the tax commissioners Office, the land CON-
missioner Office, and the Court Of Appeals
would all have suffered by it. The propo-
sition was SO absurd that il was defeated
b. vote Of 50 to l9--7 Democrats and
IL Republicans voting for il, as follows,
(Republicans in iialie) - Bannon, Muld,
Coulbomn, Reading, Neietoa, Riggs, Bar
aard, Wilson Of Frederick, Cashmeyer,
w. Campbell Hamilton, Champion, Bruce,
Turner, lShearer, Smith Of Carroll, Grouse,
Shriver Speicter and wilson Of Garrett,
Dir. Bannon proceeded to argue bis
amendment before the House, when il was
attacked, and there is no telling how long
he wuoId have talked had be not been
called % order under the swo-minute rule.
Several Of his adhereDts, however, were
ready to offer their time to him, but such
offers we're ruled out Of order No other
way Of delay being open, the yeas and nays
we're called for, aud the calling Of the roll
occupied valuable time which should have
been used in better work
This continual obstruction to Legislation
is most uncalled for, unreasonable aud abb
surd. and a waste Of the peoples money.

Senator vandsrford's Resolutions.


The Baltimore american, on the day
after Senator vanderford presented to the
Legislature the joint resolutions protesting
against the Cncroachnents Of federal pow
er upon the reserved rights Of the States,
characterized them as "a piece Of foolish
moss. Our neighbor, the Ssi,tiss1, which
has no opinions Of its own, but Is always
courteous enough to publish any and all
articles from other sources which may re-
feet upon this Journal, or those connected
with il, republished the American's COM
ments.
As to the resolutions, the AnsericaR
mus. have given them very hasty glance,
and We presume that the scissors editor Of
tho lSeatinrl had not read them at all.
The Americans criticism, however, was
not complimentary to one who had been
connected with this paper for number of
Years, and that was sufficient for the Sen
tiaefs purposes.
The americas says that
aFrom the decision Of the Supreme Court
there is no appeal, and instead Of making tn-
tile protests against il the Democratic party
should respectfully bow to its authority.
Does the Legislature wish to teach the people
Of Maryland to defy the law and refuse ODE
diesce to the courtsg'
OF course there is no appeal from de-
cision Of the Supreme Court, aud the res
olutions have no reference to an appeal.
But, the Supreme Court is a partisan
body, and was made so by increasing the
members thereof, with the sole purpose Of
obtaining judicial sanction to partisan and
unconstitutional legislation. This fact the
Americaa cannot deny, and Il is within
the province Of any State 10 condemn id
partisan decisions. Not only this, but i
is the duty Of the people to guard then
liberties and the rights Of the States, and
to protest against any Entertainments upor
them.
By Senator Vauderford's resolutions de
fianec to the law and disobedicnee to tho
courts are not taught, nor intended to be
taught, No people in the Union have
bowed more respectfully to the mandates
Of the law, be the Law constitutional OF
unconstitutional, than have the people al
Maryland, but acquiescenee to the forms
Of law is very different matter from en-
dorsiag either the law or its Interpretation.
The Democratic party sab lifted to the
illegal and outrageous decision of the Flee
toral Commission, composed in part OF
members Of this partisan Supreme Court,
when it east aside tho popular Judgment
Of the people in 1875 aud counted into
the presidency man rejected by their
ballots, but they did not endorse the pro-
ceeding. The party has acqaiesced in all
the unconstitutional legislation of the Re-
publican party and the partisan decisions
Of the Supreme Court for the last eighteen
years, but it has neither approved the one
nor endorsed the other. So in the case
Of the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court. The party proposes to deqIesce
and obey them until they are superseded,
but that is no reason why they should not
erpress their opinion upon them.
