Lincoln's Presidential Prospects

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, writing under date of April 9th, says !:
"An intimate personal and political friend of
Secretary Lincoln says that the Secretary month
since seriously contemplated resigning from the
cabinet in order that he might manage his cam
paign for the presidential nomination without
embarrassment. For some time past there has
scarcely been any other name mentioned for the
second place the ticket than Secretary Lincoln s.
and it is assured that he will in any event receive
the republican nomination for Vice President.
But it is now known, as indicated above, that he
is after the first place, and will only take second
as an alternative. His friends say the name Of
Lincoln is still the most potent with the colored
people in the South, and that Robert Lincoln will
have considerable support in the delegations FROM
that section. Representative Barr, of Pennsyl-
vania, who is for Gen. Logan, says that in conse-
quence of Lncoln's candidacy Logan has no
chance, and that working for him is like trashing
straw-you make heap of noise, but get no oats.
Mr.. Barr impaired this unpleasant piece of infor-
nation to Gen. Logan, and told him that Lincoln
would at any rate get the nomination for Vice
President, and, of course, Illinois could not fur
nish both candidates He says Logan got mad,
but he told him the sooner he realized it the
more sweating and "cussing" it would save"

@-The Legislature of Maryland at its late
session passed bill to put wills of real and per-
sonal property on the same footing, so that here
after two witnesses will be necessary to will of
personal property the same as to will of real
property. Heretofore no formality whatever has
been necessary to will of personal property, and
a man might dispose of millions of personal estate
by a memorandum, no matter how informal; for
example, statement of his intentions in the
body of private letter, or, as in very signal

ErOn Monday night last a delegation rep
resenting the oyster interests of Baltimore city,
visited the residence of Gen. Bradley 7. johnson,
corner Maryland and Boundary avenues, and pre-
scented him with a handsome and costly silver
bowl. At the late session of the Legislature Gen.
johnson was instrumental in having bill passed
to protect oysters in the Potomac river. He also
visited Richmond and secured the passage of the
same bill by the Virginia Legislature, hence this
mark of esteem by the gentlemen interested.

In our intercourse with business men in
the city we find that there is very strong feeling
in favor of the city's endorsement of the second
mortgage bonds of the Maryland Central railroad.
In fact we have not yet met one person who is
not in favor of the endorsement. When it comes
to vote We believe the city will be almost unan-
imous for it. The east Baltimore people, particu-
larry, are fully alive to the Importance of this
matter, and what will benefit them will certainly
advance the interests of the whole city,

@-The Republican State convention of Penn
sylvania met at Harrisburg on Wednesday, and its
proceedings were most harmonious. Hon. Galu-
sha A. Grow was permanent chairman and deliv-
cred stirring speech, in which he complimented
the party on the brilliant prospects before it. The
delegates elected to Chicago are supposed to be
for Mr.. Blaine for first choice as the Presidential
nominee but the wiser heads say that the delega-
ton chosen is by no means solid for the Maine
statesman, but will be divided, if not on the first
ballot, certainly thereafter. The party in Penn
sylyania was never in better shape than it is to-
day and it will roll up one of its old time MAORI
ties for the Republican candidate for President,
no matter who the fortunate man may be.

pageant rarely surpassed. The trades display
was particularly fine, rejecting great credit upon
that thriving city as well as upon merchants from
other cities who joined with them. The carnival,

business men will no doubt be largely benefited.
The affair was the biggest advertisement the town
