Annapolis Correspondence of the AmertcdR.
The fight for State Treasurer is getting to be in
teresting. Mr.. Cuttings was here to-day looking
after his fences, but has until now been unable
to discover the break. One of his ardent support
ers thinks he knows the alta cking party, and
charges treachery in the Baltimore county camp.
This friend stated to-day that Fred. Talbot was
at the bottom of the whole business, and that it
was he who was engineering Mr.. stevenson
stood to have withdrawn, but Hartford county
is vigorously pressing Mr.. Archer. Mr.. Talbot,
it is said has in view Dr. Shaw's seat in Congress,
and being just now the under dog in his county,
something must be done to bring down the man
who laid him out. The charge is now made that
he wants TO trade off Baltimore county to Har-
ford for State treasurer in return for the con-
gressonal nomination. He is reckoning without
his host, however Cuttings has Baltimore coun-
ty sod-at least, so they say-and so he thinks.
DIR. Shaw and Attorney General Roberts have
been informed of the rumored combination, and
are preparing to break it up. Talbotts tobacco
inspector is also in danger. The warehouse APP
pointment now allotted to Baltimore county will,
in all probability, go to Southern Maryland, and
the cattle scales now in Carroll will. it is presum

having the upper hand, will undoubtedly name
the appontees. Talbot don't like this, and hence

Cuttings is whether there is higher power back
ing Brother Talbot. In case there is. then there
is danger Tor the present incumbent
The Hartford delegation say they are in earnest
in their fight against Mr.. Cuttings. A member of
the delegation stated tonight that he had can
yassed the House, and was certain that M Mr..
Archer had enough votes already to win. The
fight promises to be lively one. Mr.. Archer
came down tonight.

When the river opens work will be actively
resumed on the coal piers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at Perryvllle, opposite Hayre de Grace.
Ii is expected these piers will have an important
effect on the coal trade OF the Reading road,
which has an outlet via the Susquehanna and
Tidewater canal at Havre de Grace By the new
route coal will be brought over the Port Deposit
road from Columbia, Pa, from which point the
Reading road ships BY the canal. 1t is understood
that soft coal from the ClearfGld region will also
come down to the Perryyille piers. The Reading
road leases the canal from the State of Maryland.

view of the changes which this move the Penn
