MY MAINLAND.

The lobbyists at Annapolis, seeking to
influence members of the Maryland Legs-
lature, do not seem to be of happy family,
If we are TO judge by the proceedings in
that ancient burgh on Wednesday last.
Standing at the door of the Senate chamber
a number of these persistent gentry-all
Democrats-with pistols ready for use way
laid Senators aud sought to influence their
votes by the bulldozing process. And then
two factions of the bulldozers quOrreled, and
one man was dangerously shot, others more
or less wounded. But this manner of doing
things is recognized mode of legislative
business in Democratic Legislatures and
Democratic communities. We are not as
tonished Mt the same, but simply wish to
call the attention of the uninformed and
unsuspecting to it.
