Political Notes.

Hon. John l.. Thomas has expressed
himself in opposition to fusion of the Re-
publicans with the dissatified Democrats in
Baltimore city. He thinks this course is
calculated to weaken the Republican party.
A Republican convention, he said, could
bind him to vote for Republican candidate
but not for a Democratic candidate.
The colored voters of Baltimore are
organizing for the purpose of making their
power felt in politics. They say that since
there would be only the shadow of Repub-
can party without them, they should receive
some consideration from the party. This has
not been accorded them and they propose
hereafter to vote as they please.
The New York Democratic State con-
vention last week nominated David B. Hill
for Governor and Roswell p. Flower for
Lieutenant Governor. Mr.. Hill is the pres.
ent Governor, having as Lieutenant Governor
succeeded Governor Cleveland. Mr.. Flower,
however, declined, and Gen. e. F. Jones was
selected in his place. Gen. Jones command
ed the Sixth Massachusetts regiment in its
march through Baltimore, on the 10Th of
April, 1861. The ticket is said to be strong
one and the New York Democracy is appar.
emily more united than for years past.
Politics in Baltimore are little mixed.
The mugwumps support the venerable Geo.
VIM. Brown for mayor and are trying to form
fusion with the Republicans to elect him.
The Republicans, however, want fusion, but
they want it on their own terms, so that they
may have the advantage. Mayor Latrobe is in
the field for denomination for fifth term,
and Mr.. James Hodges, well-known Demo-
GRAFT and reformer, is also urged for the
mayoralty nomination and would accept it
if rendered him
The so-called Republican harmony among
the city Republicans is not Of the kind that
is likely to bring success The scenes at the
Republican city convention, Monday night,
are said to have been of the stormest charac-
ter. AT one time there were two men on the
platform, each claiming to be President and
putting motions and deciding them at the
same time. Finally one side moved to ad-
journ and one of the chairmen declared it
carried. The adherents of that side left and
order was restored

THE BARNES MURDER TRIAL IN CECIL.-The

Judges Robinson, Wicks and Stump on the
bench. Barnes wife had left him with two of
their children, on account of his violence and

was particularly incensed at Brown. There
seems to have been no ground for his defamation
of his wife. On the morning of tine murder Jas.
Toulson, the father of Mrs Barnes, called at his
house with Brown to get check which Barnes
had promised to send to his wife In Wilmington.
Barnes came out with gun in his hand, and
when Brown got out Of the buggy Barnes shot
and killed him. Barnes little son Arthur was
going away, but Barnes called him into the
house and shot and killed him. Another little
son, who was one of the witnesses, testified that
his father, after killing his brother, took glass
of whisky, loaded his gun again and pointed it
at him. He ran away, but his father fired at
him, some of the shot striking him in the fore
head.
Physicians testified that although Barnes was
not insane his mind was affected The case was
not argued. On account of the sickness of
Judge Stump q decision was not rendered on
