Anniversary of the Granting of the
Maryland Charter.

Two hundred and fifty years ago. dating
from June Goth, 1882, the charter by which
Maryland was erected into palatinate was
granted by Charles l., King of England, to
the second Lord Baltimore. The privileges
granted by this instrument were greater, in
all probability, than those of any other of the
colonies. The jurisdiction conferred upon
the proprietary was extensive. OF his own
will he could make all ordinances, except
those which interfered with the liberty and
titles and dignities, establish towns, pardon
offenses, levy duties, dispose of property ms
he might deem proper; these were some OF
the absolute rights appertaining to Lord Bal
timore. The King was indeed the feudal
lord, but he interfered little in the affairs OF
province. The principle of religious tolera
tion was well observed, and in no colony was
there less persecution than in Maryland The
liberty granted to its people was one of the
reasons why the colony of freedom disputed
in so many instances the power of the advi
sorry counsel, which was an upper house
much Ike the Senate, and exercised much
power over the laws passed by the lower
house. The government waXed mighty, how
ever, in spite ofintestne troubles. At the
time of the Revolution Maryland took a
most prominent part in that struggle, and the
blood of her sons was poured out freely in
some ofthe fiercest conflicts between IT'S and
1882. The fame of the old Maryland Line will
exist as long as the battles in which they took
part continue to be recorded in history.
M"rylanders have every reasont to be proud
of their native State She was the first tc
secure religious liberty to all within her Dor
ders-not only to the Catholic, to which
church Lord Baltimore was attached, but
also to Episcopalians, Prcsbyterians and Qua
kers. The latter at that time, were treated
with great indignity and cruelty in othel

The Grand Army of the Republic.

The reception of the Grand Army of the
Republic in Baltimore, this week, seems to
have eclipsed the splendors of the Sesqui-
Centennial and of the celebration last fall
The streets were alive with people; the
houses decked with brilliant colors; flags
floated from windows and houses, while all
the time were ARRIVING by every train troops
from all quarters, marching to the grand en-
campment
The parade on Wednesday was everything
that one could wish, The day was delight
full. The utmost good feeling everywhere
prevailed. The total number of men was
about $4,000, the procession requiring more
than an hour to pass given point The
military were reviewed by the President, who
stood on the City Hall portico. With him
were Governor Hamilton with several mem.
bers of his staff, besides Gen. Sherman, Sec
retaries Lincoln and Frelinghuysen and At.
torney General Brewster. A little back Of
the President stood Mayor Whyte.

warm greeting and there is no lack of hos.

would kindle afresh the embers of strife be

has attended their efforts. A number from
