Negro Outlaws.

The ADVOCATE last week noted the unusual
lawlessness by the coored people in Balti-
more since the city passed under Republican
control Since then more serious infractOnS
of the law, disregard of personal rights and
defiance of law officers have occurred in st.
Marys county. A party Of some thirty or
forty colored oystsrmen, having been told, so
they claim, that they could take oysters from
private beds raided several and took large
quantities. Some were arrested, but they
deied the justice who imposed penalties of
fine and imprisonment, left the office and the
officers were powerless to restrain them.
They said they had the states attorney and
court with them and the state of Maryland
also, and they neither proposed to GO to the
House of Correction nor pay fines and in
tended to continue oystering on private
beds. They rely upon Republican judge
and a Republican states attorney to acquit
them, and believe Republican success in the
county and the state clothed them with greater
liberties In fact in these instances they
seemed to think they were above all law and
were privileged to do as they choose without
let or hindrance.
