Wsluutm\ CARLISLE, PA., Thursday Morning:, Nov. 8, isoo. ANOTHER MARE’S NEST. The Herald baa discovered another mare's nest of huge proportions. Some body lias been revealing such outrageou s copperhead enormities as have harrowed up its soul, frozen its young blood, and made “each particular hair (whatlittlo the establishment possesses) to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine.”— Just look at the following; it beats the South Middleton frauds out of all counte nance : Wo will now coll attention to tho llttlo scheme of tho Democracy to vote tho force at the Garris on. We are informedby tho oilicors at tho Post, that a tow days before tho election, between 150 and 200 certificates of assessment wore taken to the Garrison for distribution among the soldiers. That these papers were scattered about tho place broadcast. That they could ho found lying around loose lu the “Band Hoorn,” and that it was no uncommon thing to seo a man with half a dozen of tficm in hit possession al once , TUU is a woodmen of the papers: certificate of assessment.-Levied aua assessed, pursuant to the election laws of this Commonwealth, Sept. 25, ISOO, on John Saur, .dollar. Ton cents County Tax for tho year wiSa John Leiin, AswxDr oj North Middleton twp„ Cmnb. Co., Pa. B.—Persons assessed deliver this certificate to Collector, and get receipt for tax paid; and Collector to County Commissioners, ou dual set tlement of duplicate. If the Herald was thus “ informed by the ollicers at the Post’’ we have simply to say that the “ollicers of the Post’.’ state what is not the fact. There were but thirty odd extra assessments for the en tire township of .North Middleton, and only twelve or fifteen of these were for sol- diers ut the Garrison. This wo are pro pared to prove. Will tho Herald be kind enough to give us the. names of the 11 of ficers at the Post" from whom it received its information; or will the aforesaid “of ficers at tho Post” be kind enough to make this same statement over their own signatures? They surely will not refuse to append their names to a statement which they have already made orally.— When they have done so, wo will take great pleasure in showing them, from documentary evidence which cannot bo disputed, that the charges they have mode are not sustained by tho facts. The Herald says it has been informed “ by the officers at the Post.” Are we to un derstand by this that all tho officers at tho Post join in making these charges of fraud, against some of our best citizens ? They are not the gentlemen we have ta ken them to be if they see proper to make such unjust and unfounded assertions, or authorize others to moke thorn publicly for them. Wo trust there la some mis take in tho Herald's statement as to tire source of its information, and shall be un willing to behove that "the officers of tho Post” have made any such charges, unless, they endorse by their silence the statement of the Herald; in which event wo wilf propably have something more to say upon the subject. Here is a "specimen brick” of tho Her ald’s logic t '* Tho (Jommamlaut of tlio Post issued au ordor in these words: 'No ealistod man will be permitted to leave tills Garrison on Tuesday the Dili instant, except those receiving special permission. By ardor of the Commanding Officer.’ Tills simply excluded tile recruits from leaving tliu Post without special permission—tile perma nent party all having standing permits to come in at any time.” Now if our neighbor can prove to us that tho members of tho “permanent party" are not “ enlisted men;" and if ho can show that a special order such as this would not supercede a " standing per mit,” and was not considered to have su perceded it by both officers aud men ; or if ho can show that recruits can leave tho Garrison at any time without “special permission, l ' we will admit there may be some show,of reason in what he says, but otherwise his attempted defense of this order (ooks like the sheerest nonsense. Tho Herald then undertakes to give us a little law. It announces that "on tho back of this paper (certificate of assess ment) is endorsed " Oct. 9, 1886. Re ceived tho within tax, A. J. Welsh, Col lector and argues that this is contrary to the law which provides that these cer tificates of assessment are to be delivered to the Collector aijd by him to the Coun ty Commissioners on settlement, A lit tle knowledge of what tho law does re quire might have saved tho Herald from showing its Ignorance. Tho act confer ring the elective franchise upon soldiers, approved August 25th, 1884, provides as follows: • “Tho Hald assessors shall lu each and ©very coho, of such assessed soldiers or officers, give a certificate of sach assessment, to anv citizen of the election district or precinct, who may de mand the same; and upon tho presentation thereof to the to* collector, or the treasurer of said county, it shall bo tho duty of such officer to receive such assessed tux, of, and from any per son offering to pay the sumo, for tho soldier or officer therein named, and to endorse upon such certificate a receipt therefor , which said certificate and receipt shall be prima facie evidence” of the as sessment and payment of his tax.” Wo have given specimens of the Her* aid's facts, its logic and its law —such foots, such logic and such law as will scarcely serve to bolster up any cause, so long as the people are gifted with a rea sonable sjiare of common sense. Treason or Madness.— On the even iug of the 25th, ffit., in New York; Wen file Phillips opened the vifds of his wrath again upon Johnson, Grant, the Consti tution, and everybody in general who is not a member of the negro party. He called tho Constitution of 1780 a swindle, notwithstanding that during three fourths of a century tho country prospered under it, and nobody was aware of being swindled until Phillips was born, swad dled and pampered into some importance under its beneficentprovisions. He wan ted Grant sot aside and Bulter Installed ; and be would have the President impeach ed and deposed, and, pending the trial, his office sequestered. If Phillips belong ed to any other State than Massachusetts, or any other city than Boston, bis resi dense would be In a mad house. ffSf- Hon William Wright, United States Senator for the State of New Jersey, died at Newark on Thursday morning, aged 75 years. He bad held many public po sitions of honor and trust, and was twice elected to the United States Senate. His death is deeply, deplored by the entire community. He was a Democrat in poli- tics, and his death is therefore more to be regretted from the foot that the power of filling his place in ihe Senate belongs to the present Radical Governor of New Jer sey. ' jjgy A spread-eagle orator of New York State “ wanted the wings of a bird that he might fly to every town and county, to every village and hamlet, 1 * but he wil ted when a naughty boy in the crowd sang 'ont;~"Ury up, you-—old fool; you’d get shotfor a wjl.d goose, before you had flown a mile." 1 Tin; siestatoiiiai, (hiesiiost. The Harrisburg correspondent of the Franklin Repository, " Hobace," known to bo the acute and wary McClure him self, in ills lust letter gives bis impres sions of the uo.'ctooiitestforUnlted States Senator. After assuring bis readers that Governor Geary will take no part in the contest “ Hobace" arrives at this conclu sion “ that Governor Curtin has more than double the positive strength in the Legislature of any other man, is no lon ger a doubtful question, and that the ac tive, vital Republican sentiment of the State is moving irresistibly for him, none but observers blinded by ambition can fail to see. Combinations cannotbe made by the minority candidates, oven if, they were disposed. Cameron would prefer Stevens if he cannot succeed, and could transfer him two-thirds of his vote, while the remainder would go to Curtin. Ste vens would prefer Forney to any of his other competitors, but most ot his sup porters are avowed friends of Governor Curtin if they cannot succeed with their first choice. Grow would prefer Curtin next to himself, while his supporters would from choice divide between Cam eron and Curtin, after leaving him. Grow’s rote cannot at any stage exceed 10. Ste vens might go to 20 on first ballot. Cam eron’s will never exceed 20, aud no com binations can reduce Curtin’s positive strength on first ballot, for a through fight, below 35. Stevens aud Grow have made no personal effort in tire contest.” EQUAI.ITY. Nomination of a Necsbo in Boston fob the Legislatube. —Tho Boston Journal, a Radical Disunion sheet, thus rofers to tho nomination of Mitchele, a negro, for the Legislature : Mr. Clms. L. Mitchell, a colored citizen, was nominated by the Republicans ot Ward Six, last evening, as a candidate for a seat in the State Legislature. It is one of the practical results of the political creed which Massachusetts has been foremost in advocating, and though it may strike some with surprise, it is certainly creditable to the district which made the nomination. Ward Six is the wealthiest Ward in the State; it embraces within its limits more literary culture and more liberally edu cated men than any other Representative district known of, and it is with perhaps the exception of a Ward in New Bedford, the only Ward in this State which has a largenumberof colored voters. The Ward is the home of John A. Andrew, and there seems to be a peculiar propriety that the first colored man elected as a Representa tive —as he undoubtedly will be —should come from a Ward which possesses such marked characteristics. For our own part we heartily endorse tlie nomination. It shows the sincerity of the Republicans, and is a proof of their intention to carry out to the letter the po litical professions which they have been making. We believe that the color of the skin is not a badge of dishonor, aud when qualified by education to hold the ballot, the man should be eligioio to office. Tho nominee we hear is a man of sense and sagacity, and will do no discredit to the State. Tho Herald accuses us of " at tempting to injure the Officers at the Carlisle Barracks,” and never seems to think of its own persistency in damning them with faint praise. In tho very arti cle in which this charge is made against us wo find this assertion : “ a prominent Democrat, a member of the Bar, a few days before the election, declared that the Garrison soldiers should all vote, if they had to go armed to the polls. This com ing to the cars of the Commandant of the Barraelcs caused him to issue the order." If it be true that this simple declaration, doubtless made in joke, “ caused the Com- mnndaut of the Barracks to issue tho or- ' dor,” it constitutes a case of weak nerves which seriously demands the attention of tho War Department. But wo have rea son to believe that the Herald is mistoken and does injustice to tho Commandant of the Garrison. It was only after repeated visits from self-constituted committees of the radicals of this borough, and after the most shameless misrepresentations on the part of men whose standing in the com munity should have led them to despise such low demagoguery, that the order was issued. The idea of there being a riot in Carlisle, simply because a dozen 1 soldiers demanded their right to vote, was I absurd. The soldiers had no intention of creating a riot, and as to the leaders of tho Republican party in Carlisle spilling any blood, the idea is too preposterous to be entertained for a moment. Gen. Geant Visits Baltimore. — The Baltimore San of Friday morning says:—General Grant reached the city yesterday, accompanied by General Com stook, chief of his staff, they coming from Washington, and after proceeding to the Eutaw House, summoned before him tho police commissioners, who are to be dis missed, Messrs. Hindes and Wood. What was sald-and done at this interview has not been made public. A similar inter view took place between Messrs. Horn and Ford, the supposed newly appointed commissioners. The latter gentlemen informed Gen. Grant that they appeared before him as requested, but they bad not, bo far as they know, officially bean appointed by the Governor. The Gener al expressed a desire to see everything pass off quietly and said that if compelled to bring United States troops to the city it would be a very unpleasant duty.— Messrs, Horn and Ford, it is understood, informed the General that they were of opinion that the presence of United States troops would not be necessary. General Grant loft tho city for Washington again last evening. Affairs at Hagerstown, Md. —A letter to the Washington Star says, among other things, that the men woun ded In the late political riot at Hagers town are reported to be doing well, and are all expected to recover. Mayor Bier shing has ceased to exercise his official functions. Tht-political excitement is very great. In one instance Bev. John Tobey, radical, and Dr. N. B. Tobey, bis son, a conservative, opposed each other for a seat in the Legislature. Tub English Cattle Plague.— The cattle disease, which at one time ravaged England at the rate of more than ten thousand cases per week, and was thought to be ({'remediable, has now dwindled to almost nothing. During the last week reported, that ending, in October 20th, the number of animate atMehe/i was but eleven. The pjaguo has coaled to attract any great atEQUUti of attention in Great Britain. THE FOIAT OF BONDHOIDEIIS That the Bondholders who voted for the Radical candidates, will live to repent of the folly, we verily believe, says the Lan caster Intelligencer. If the revolutionary designs of Stevens and his political asso ciates bo carried out the credit of the na- ;ion will suffer serious and, it may bo, ir reparable Injury. The chief security for the bonds of the United States is to be sought in political quiet, and such apeaco abie adjustment of our difficulties as will lead to a speedy and complete develop ment of the resources of every section of the country, and especially of the South. The agitation kept up by the Radicals is even now having the effect of lowering the price of our securities abroad, and’ in Germany, where they were much sought after they have fallen below those even of Austria. Commenting upon this matter, the Hamilton Spectator, published in Can ada West, in its issho of the 19th ult. uses tho following startling language, which wo commend to the consideration of every bondholder in Lancaster county.— It says:' The late rapid decline in United States securities in England haSexcitedconsider able surprise. When wcrcad tho inaandi ary speeches of the Radical leaders,. how ever, their open threats of civil war and fixed determination to regard tho Southern States as conquered provinces and not as a portion of a restored Union, we can scarc ely wonder at this decline. Untilthe diffi culty at present existing between the Pre sident and Congress is settled, confidence cannot be expected to revive. Capitalists will not care to invest their money hi a country so torn by political differences and unsettled by political uneasiness. Wo learn that investments in United States se curities have almost ceased, not only in London, but also tn Frankfort, the quota tions being almost nominal. At the same time all other securities? maintain their prices, Austria included, which are deem ed more worthy of confidence thau those of the American republic. The conse quence of the decline in American securi ties in Europe will, in due course of time, be a corresponding depression in the States, coupled with a depreciation in the currency, and a consequent rise in the price of gold. And all this is the result of the blustering vaporing of the Radical party, their constantly reiterations of threats of war with Great Britain, and their evident determination to prevent any reconciliation of the adverse partics in the States. DEATH OF SENATOR WRIGHT. The announcement of the death of Hon. .William Wright, United States Senator from New Jersey, though not unexpected, will cause a feeling of deep regret among the very large circle of friends and ac quaintances which, during his lifetime, he had gathered about him. Throughout the past year he was very feeble, and was unable to appear in the Senate Chamber but a few times during the last session of Congress, and once or twice was carried thither to vote upon important measures. He spent the most of the summer at New port, R. 1., and returned much refreshed and apparently in better health. Iteeems, however, that disease had a firm hold of him, and that death was only postponed for a little while. Mr. Wright*, was born in Clarksville, Rockland County, New York, but when he was quite young his father’s family removed to New Jersey. Upon reaching manhood he took an active interest in tho railroad interests of tho State, and bore a prominent part in tho legislation affecting the Camden and Amboy Rail road. In early life Mr. Wright attached himself to tho Whig party. He waselect od to tho House ot Representatives in 1842 as au independent candidate over the regular nominee, William B. Kin ney, of the Newark Daily Advertiser. — Two years later he was re-elected. It was about this time that tho Whig party of New Jersey began to be imbued with free soil sentiments, which not commend ing themselves to Mr. Wright, he affilia- ted with the Democrats, and by them was elected to the United States Senate in 1853. During his term of office he was chairman of the Committees on Engross ed Bills and on Contingent Expenses, but did not take a very prominent part in tlie proceedings on the floor of the Sen ate. Mr. Ten Eyck, a Republican, was chosen as his successor, but, in 1863 Mr. Wright was re-elected Senator for six years thereafter. As a man of business, Senator Wright was very successful, and was one of the wealthiest men In New Jersey. His place in the Senate will be filled by the Legislature that will bo chosen next Tuesday, and it therefore rests with the people to decide whether his successors shall bo worthy of him who has just died or a counterpart of the Radical Cattell Iwho holds the seat that rightfully belongs to Hon. John P. Stockton,— World. BEWA.HE OF GEARY. When, the great General Geary, now Governor elect of Pennsylvania, was on the stump for himself, he was very fond of relating, among his friends at least, the following thrilling narrative—the like of which is calculated to make one’s hair stand on, an end, is not to be found even in the pages of “ The Bold Buccaneer, or the Bloody Black Brig of Bermanda:” Stonewall Jackson, while lying upon his improvised cot, suffering from wounds of which ho was conscious he must soon die, sent for General Longatreet to come to him at once, as he had something to say to him. The General shortly appear ed. The dying hero, almost in the ago nies of death, raised himself upon his el bow, and with a voice of deathly earnest ■ ness thus addressed the South. Carolina General r “General Longatreet, did you observe that tall imposing form to-day seated on a black horse in the thickest of the fight, as we did battle?” Quoth Gen eral Longatreet, “ I did; indeed, my dear General. ” “That man so valiant was Gen eral Geary!"exclaimedStonewall. "Mark mo, beware of him! avoid him! boware of his troops! Meet him not when you can shun nim, for he is irresistible!” Longatreet arose to depart but as he reach ed the door “ Stonewall” called to him again, “Longatreet, beware of Geary!” and fell back dead upon his couch I With this dying injunction to his comrade, the hero of the Shenandoah expired. Oh, my! 8®“ We trust our “ prominent Depio crata and members of the Bar,” will be more cautious of the language they use iri future. This thing of making careless remarks, such as that “ the garrison sol diers should all vote if they had to go armed to the polls,” thereby frightening ” the officers of the Post” and the leaders of tiie Republican party out of their pro priety, must be stopped. November Elections.—Eleven States hold their annual elections on Tuesday, viz—New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illi nois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kansas. At tiie time of going to press (Wednes day noon,) we had no reliabielutolligence from any. of these States, A telegram from Philadelphia dated Wednesday morning, says : “ The Democrats have carried Maryland and Delaware. The Radicals have carried New York, eleofc hlg gfpyornor, but lost one or two members Of Congress, THE BAETIMOBE TROI/BEEIS. Removal of tho Police Commissioners. GOVERNOR SWANN’S DECISION. THE NEW COMMISSIONERS ARRESTED. Annapolis, Nov, I,—Tho Governor has decided to remove tho Police Commlsionors. Tho decis ion is very bitter against them. He said tho Reg istry lists of 1800 should have boon used, and that the Judges of tho election have no right to go be hind the Registry Law. The police and Judges wore of the moat partisan character; and wore guilty of official misconduct. Ho would call up on tho United States if necessary. Governor Str&ntfs Decision. Tho Governor's decision is very lengthy docu ment, covering thirty pages of manuscript. Tho following are the main points of the document: • I have duly considered tho charges which had boon proferod by certain citizens of Baltimore, who were denied the right to vote at tho late municipal elections for mayor and members of the Citv Council, against tho Police Commision ors, in connection with tho testimony submitted for my guidance in tho case, and have arrlvedjat conclusions which I shall proceed brleflyjtostate. Tho refusal of tho Police Commissioners at the opening of this Investigation to appear before the Governor upon his summons to answer charges of misconduct In ofllco, I look upon ns an offense lor which they might have boon hold responsible without any further Inquiry Into the evidence of official misconduct In the Into elections. It is true that tho Commissioners, through their coun sel have,to somoextent, retraced their stops and announced their willingness to appear and an swer any questions tho Governor might have to propound, out I do not understand that they have yiculed tho point of Jurisdiction to which they stllladhoro. Thoirnctlonlu declining to respond to tho summons of the Governor, places them in the attitude ofStato officers made dv law, subject to his direct supervision, treating with contempt tho power specifically delegated to him by tho Legislature, and tho still higher power conferred by the twelfth section of the twentieth article of tho Constitution, to take care that tho laws bo faithfully executed. How is the Governor. It may bo asked, representing the sovorlgnty of the State, to discharge an imperative duty imposed upon him by tho organic law, in conflict with re bellious officers, setting his authority at defiance, and denying his right to hold them accountable for official misconduct, or a palpable violation or neglect of thoir duties ? Tho Police Law invests these Commissioners with almost absolute pow er, fearful In its scope in the hands of designing men, without a check somewhere to protect the public interests. Tho Legislature never intended any such thing. Tho Stale of Maryland Is at this vorv moment threatened with invasion by arm ed hordes from other States; military organiza tions have been formed in tho city of Baltimore for the open and avowed purpose of resisting the authority of the laws. No single stop, so far na I am informed, up to this time, has been taken by tho Police Board to suppress tills tendency to anarchy and rebellion, now so threatening, and to excite riotaud blood shed among our people. It is well known that so far as the action of tho Governor is concerned, no pretext has been fur nished for these revolutionary proceedings. Is tho Governor, to whom these officers are made directly responsible by tho law, to rest quiet and see tho laws of the Stale and tho public pence dis turbed ? The State in vailed by armed revolution ists (in complicity with those whom the Police Board are encouraging by their apathy), and make no effort to protect tho dignity of tho State against insult and outrage? But tlie Legislature did not leave to implication tills power of tho Police Commissioners In dis charge of their official duties ns State officers. The Governor then proceeds to review tho law governing his action, and argues that'tho exclu sion of the newly-registered voters at tho last municipal election by the Judges was a flagrant violation of their duties. Ho says “ the examin ation of the Judges of election, all Radical in thoir proclivities, with one or two exceptions, produced a moat unfavorable Impression upon uiy mind as to their conduct in tho future. If continued in office, entertaining In the main tho intolerant view mat loyalty resides ouiy tritu tuoso ttJio support their policy, is It not a reasonable infer ence that they would claim, in thoabsencoof any instructions from the Police Commissioners, who refuse to interfere to challenge the votes of all who do not come up to the standard? If they Ignore tho obligation of]tho second ballot-box for rejected rotes, so plainly pointed out by tho law, surely it would bo no greatorstretcliol authority to go behind the registry and recognize whom they please, and no one else as legal voters.’' The Governor next reviews -the Registration Lawandxho various decisions made under It, and also the Election Laws. Ho sums up as fol lows : “ The evidence in tho case proves, beyond a doubt that the Police Commissioners have viola ted the law, and rendered themselves liable to the charge of misconduct in creating, or permitting to grow up under their eyes, and with their complicity, a violent partisan organization —treating all as dlsloj’al who do not adopt the views of tho Radical party; by tho denying tho right of tho Governor to entertain Jurisdiction , over the charges of official misconduct preferred against tho Coramisionor; by appointing to office both os judges of election, special policemen'and clerks exclusively from their own party, and in many instances incompetent, and In some of tho precints mostdiaruptablo characters; and deny ing appointments to any other class of our citi zens ; by delegating to the Marshal and officers under him tho power to appoint special police men, without themselves inquiring Into the qualifications or moral standing of tho said offi cers—thus attempting to throw the responsibility of bad appointments, which they were ready to accept upon their subordinates; by suffering the Judges of election to throw aside.the boxes for re jected ballots, and giving them no advices as to their obligation under the law to use them, and refusing to remove them from office for so mani fest a violation of the law.” The Governor concluded as follows: Tho Governor of tho State cannot shrink from his duly to tho people. The threats of armed combinations at home, of Invasions fromotjhcr States to overthrow our daws, could hardly, be expected to doter. him for a single moment in the unflinching exercise of all tho functions with which he has been clothed. Tlio people of tho State of Maryland haVe been registered—Union men, not the loss so because conservative in their sentiments—and these vo ters duly passed upon by tho proper officers, af ter a full examination into their qualifications (the constitutional oath having been adminis tered to one and ail, and their names entered upon the official registry as legal voters), they are adjudged to bo so by our highest official tri- - bunal. They ask at the hands of tho Executive that they may not bo excluded by a powerful partl zau combination, under the control of the Police Commissioners, not powerful in number, hut be cause of the authority which they had heretofore exercised, under their commissions from tho State, claiming that there la no loyalty but In tho extreme Radical party, and turning a deaf oar to tho demand of any other class of our citizens. In the discharge of my official duties In this case, I can know no party. I must see that tho authority of tho State Is maintained in the in terest of the whit© people. If the laws are objec tionable, tho Legislature which made them, and not tho Governor is responsible. Ho is the exec utlveandnotthelaw-makiugpowor. Hewould , bring disgrace upon tho State if ho should do in justice to the humblest citizen. The appeals to the returned veterans by weals: and thoughtless men, to raise the standard of rebellion against the constituted authorities of the State, cannot I fall to meet tho condemnation which they de t servo among all order-loving citizens of whatev t or political party. They would have been doing ! (if they heeded such advice, which lam sure they will not) Just what they have been fighting to re buke in the rebellions States. Thoflrstshotflred i upon the American flag in tho hands of tho reo- ! ogalzed authorities of this State, besides subjec ting thorn to tho severest penalties of the law, would cause the laurels which they have won iu tho struggles of the past to fade and wither in their hands. They will not, I am sure, penult themselves to be lured Irom their path of duty as law abiding citizens by impulsive and reckless leaders, when they have the courts always open. to their grievances. • 1 While to them I speak in the language of. friendly admonition and slnccrest regard, Loan- i not characterize with too much indignation tho intrusion into Maryland to Intervene in her do raestio affairs, of a well-known revolutionist and i agitator from an adjoining State, who, ropudla- ’ tod already by tho leading Journals of the party' with whom ho la co-operating, for this wicked at tempt to excite bloodshed and provoke another civil war, has already retired from the Held of his treasonable machinations to secure himself from the contempt which his conduct has every where provoked. He must not forget that the' strong arm of tho law is Impending over him. and that tho State of Maryland will know how to protect herself at tho proper timo against all * such disturbers of tho peace and tho safety of her people. Impressed as I am with tho utter demoraliza tion of tho police organization as it now stands, I shall do what I can to restore It to its proper re lations with tho State, and the law upon which It is founded. I have no desire to appeal to the general government for aid to enable mo to exe cute tho laws and to protect our citizens against a threatened riot and bloodshed, unless Impelled to take this step by tho farther resistance of the Police Commissioners and their followers to the laws,of tho State. If that contingency should arise, the responsibility will be upon those who provoke it. I stand upon the Constitution and the laws of tho State, and there I will continue to stand until the trust imposed on me by the people of tho State of Maryland, shall bo deliv ered back into their hands. In spite of all threats of personal violence and blustering efforts of In timidation. which have already disgusted dis creet and thinking men throughout the country, l oan only say for myself, that tho remnant of a life, now Imlfapent, would be purchased at too dear a cost in the high position which I occupy os Governor of the State ef Maryland, by the dis honor of my State or the degradation ofher peo ple.

Wm. Thomas valliant. SIS^KSS!^u. , Sg!^. to d,TO BAI.TIMOIU!, Nov.S.-Thls has boon «ilny of lin tense excitement In Baltimore, exceeding that of tho 10th ol April, 1801, and equal to tlmtraomora bio Sunday when Gilmore surrounded and threat ened it. Early this morning it was currently re ported that tho Sheriff was gathering a posse to aid the now Commissioners In obtaining posses sion of tho Station Houses, where a largo number of the old police force wore stationed. The streets were filled with anxious ami excited people, ana large crowds wore gathered around and in tho vicinity of the Marshal's office, and everything, indicated a popular outbreak. Messrs. Valiant and Young, tho newly appoint ed Police Commissioners, wont, at ton o’clock this morning to tho office of tho old Board to demand tho books, papers, and possession of the office! but wore refused admittance at tho door. There was an immense crowd i\\ front of the office, All of the police officers and tho special police adher ed to the old Board, and there was much hurra hing and groaning, etc. Finally, after a few minutes, the newly ap pointed Commissioners proceeded to the office or William Schley, thoir counsel, in Lexington street, followed by a vast crowd, mostly their pol itical adherents, to ask advice as to thoir future course. No police wore with tho crowd, all tho force being engaged guarding tho station houses and office of the Police Board, and other places. ' The people are now greatly excited, anti tho thoroughfares are filled with anxious crowds. Bu siness is pretty much suspended, and there aro significant indications that tho military may bo called upon before tho day ends, which, If done, and the old Board persist, they may bo arrested, and tho city put under martial law. Governor Swann is here, and more officers and soldiers aro visible than usual. Things look very squally. There is a large force of newspaper re porters here from tho North and Washington, in cluding Hon. John W. Forney. At noon, tho new Commissioners, after spen ding about an hour with their counsel at his of fice, got into a carriage, having a document un derstood to boa formal demand for tho delivery of tho office Into their possession. , They tooK a circuitous route, and after making a detour of about one mile to avoid tho crowds, approched the Commissioners’ office, where thoir appearance was theslgnal for tumultuous demon strations of disapproval by tho now largely in creased crowd. They wore again admitted to tho inclosure, and at tho door of tho office wore met by the.Ciark of the Commissioners, who received thoir document, telling them that the Commissioners would im mediatelly consider tho mutter and make their reply in wiling. , Messrs, Valliant and Young then drove off to tho corner of North and Baltimore streets to tho conservative headquarters, where they were re ceived with loud cheering by tho crowd gather ed there. It is now understood they are organiz ing a new force. Quito a number of the old force resigned last night, and reported to Messrs Young aud Valiant this morning. General Canby is here; bat will not call out, the troops unless an absolute riot- occurs, which has not yet taken place. It seems that tho new Board re determined to presist In their efforts to obtain possession of tho station house, aud the old Board seem equally determined to resist them. Things iqet now looked very feverish, and it was moiuOTtarlly expected that an outbreak would take place, in which ovent martial law will bo proclaimed. About noon to-day, six companies of united States regulars (infantry) arrived hero from Now York, via your city, ana marched at ouco to Fort M’Henry . 2 P. M.—TJio now Commissioners aro still In their now office in North Street, busily engaged in appointing their newpolice and other officers. ■ Thoyaro also appointing Judges of election for next Tuesday. They demanded from the old Board a written statement of what they designed doing, giving two hours for a rebly; but no reply has yet been sent, and probably none will be. It is understood that ‘the now Board have deter mined that tho election next Tuesday shall bo conducted under thoir rule at newly selected el ection precincts, whilst the old Board are equally determined that said election shall be held under their orders, at the same old precincts, with tho same judges; hence, if United States troops do not interfere (and they are not much inclined to do so,l two separate elections will bo hold, tho radicals voting at one .place, and tho conserva tives dtranother. 2>£P. M.—Tho Police Comraisslonors.Young and valiant, have been, arrested by the city au thorities. and are before Judge Bond, of tho City Criminal Court, on a charge of common disturb ers of the public peace. The excitement is very great, but there is no lighting. Sheriff Thompson has also been arrested fob illegally swearing in new police officers. At the Court House a few of the regular police force appeared In tho vestibule, and commenced at once to eject tho Sheriirs posse, who wore crowding up tho stairway from tho south en trance to tho Sherili’s office above. A scuffle en sued, and for a time there was considerable con fusion and much threatening language used.— Many of tho spectators becoming alarmed, made a hasty exit from the building, causing much ex citement outside. . Presently tho new Commissioners were seen approaching from tho north end of the building, in Lexington street. They had scarcely entered, when 'Marshal Carmichael appeared, coming from the direction of the Central Police Station, at the head of a lai-ge body of police, who made a rapid entrance, and. in a few minutes cleared the Sheriff's posse out of the building. On entering tho Criminal Court, a Deputy Sher iff appeared, and announced that the bencu-war rants for tho arrest of Valiant and Young had been served, aud in a few mtnutes thereafter tho Sheriff appeared with Messrs. Valiant and Young in custody. The Court informed them that there would bo an opportunity afforded them to procure counsel. Presently their counsel appeared, and inquired for tho affidavits upon which tho arrest had boon made. Tho State’s Attorney briefly recited tho evi dence that had boon given by tho witnesses upon whoso testimony tho bench-warrants for tho ar rest had been issued. The counsel for the new Commissioners then proceeded to argue that the arrest was an un warrantable one. Their chants were the duly commissioned Commissioners of Police, and wore exercising only their legal authority. Judge Bond, however, gave hla decided order that each of the parties (Valiant and Young) be required to give bail in the sum of $25,000 to keep the peace towards the Board of Police of the city of Baltimore. Sheriff Thompson was also required to give bail In the same amount. It Is understood that all the parties refused to give ball, and It Is expeoted they will be committed. There are reports that they Intend to appeal to General Canby to be released from custody. The new police officers have disappeared from the streets. Some of them have been arrested.', All is quiet, but a deep Interest is manifested by the large crowds of people in tbo streets, ea gerly discussing affiilrs. Baltimore, Nov. 4—,Sunday Noon.—The coun sel for Governor Swann’s newly- appointed Com missioners have made application to Judge Bar tol, of tbe Canrt of Appeals, for a writ of habeas corpus to bring before him the parties now held in custody by the Warden of the City Jail, under the order of Judge Bond, of the Criminal Court.

B. Stookott Mathews, Esq., appeared as counsel for the Warden, and maintained that his client, by the terms of the law.'cloavly hod three days In which to make his return. After some further remarks by Mr. Horwltz, In support of his petition, Judge Bartel rendered his decision. He said the statute was very plain In the premises. It gave tbo Worden throe day* ■within which he Is to produce the bodies of the parties Imprisoned, and the cause of their deten-1 tlon, and he could not, In the absence of proof that It was bis purpose to violate hla duty in that particular, Issue a compulsory order to do what the statute does not impose upon him—the abso lute duty to perform. - .

Fugitive from lila Capital* Washington, Nov. s.—Minister Ro mero to-day received the following letter by way of New Orleans, dated Vera Cruz, Oct. 28th, 1868: : ”, Maximilian left the city of Mexico on the 22d Instant, resigning verbally in fa vor of Gen. Bazaine. ■V General Bazaine endeavored to per suade him to delay- his departure until General Castlenau’s arrival, two’days la ter, but he declined, and, escorted -by eight hundred Austrian troops, proceed ed to Orizaba by cross roads, in order to avoid meeting with General Castlenau, He reached Orizaba yesterday and la ex pected here to-morrow. ■ The Captain of the Austrian frigate Dandote, states that as soon as Maximum lan arrives he will at once leave for Eu rope. It is said that Maximillanfwill publish to-day a manifesto at Orizaba, General Castlenau reached tho city of Mexico soon after Maximilian left, and took possession of the palace and assum ed the reins of Government. • The French’ soldiers, entered under Maximilian’s colors will be re turned to France under Gen.

Fortress Monroe, Nov. 3.—The pa role grouted to Jefferson Davis some months ago, giving him the privilege of the ground of the Fortress during the day, has been extended, through Execu tive clemency, in removing all surveil lance over him and the guards from his rooms in Carroll Hall at night. Instructions to this effect have been sent from Washington to General Burton, commandant of the fort. This deprives his imprisonment of anything like se verity, and paves the way, as .is gener ally presumed, for his final parole and .ro- All the guards over him, both day and night, being removed, he now enjoys perfectly untrammoled liberty and every possible means of comfort and pleasure while held as a prisoner In the fort. It is said that he has expressed great grati fication at this action of the Government, and already contemplates vacating Carroll Hall and taking up his residence with Mrsi Davis in the casemates assigned her shortly after her arrival here. A Curious Invention by a Working man.—At the Industrial Exibition in the Agricultural Hall, Islington. London, there is shown an ingenious invention by which the notion of a shower of rain is made to close an open window. The win dow, when opened, stretches two India rubber springs. These springs are pre vented from drawing the window down by means of a curved rod fixed outside the sash, the end of which works up and down in autbular bell-mouthed- stand on the window sill. A little piece of loaf sugar is inserted into the mouth of the stand, and the end of the rod is let down gently upon it. The sugar prevents the rod descendinglnto the tube, and of course keeps the window sash up. As soon as It begins to rain, the bell-mouth of the tube collects the droops, the sugar is mol ted, and no further obstacles being presen ted to the action of, the india rubber springs, the sash is drawn down. jjgg“ ’■ Write the word Union upon the Sheet, and fill up the rest as you please,” was the exclamation of Lincoln, when discussingaterms of peace with the rebel commissioners in Hampton Roads. The word “ Union” was written. The word “ Abolition” v-as added. The “ repudia tion of rebel debts” was added. The Rad icals now are toiling to insert just three letters more—Dis. ■ They refuse peace to the country till “ Union” has boon made to read “Disunion.” jj®“The news from Mexico is via New Orleans, from the city of Mexico to the 20th ultimo. A favorite corps of Maxi milian's had revolted, and, after murder ing its odicers, had joined the liberals. The Austrian band, which had been in the habit of playing national airs in the plaza, had been stoned lyy the populace. Maximilian no longer appeared in public. Canales was still in possession of Mata moras. Thanksgiving. —Gov. Curtin has ap pointed Thursday, the 29th inst,, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. A day of thanksgiving is very proper, but of late years it has been desecrated to such an extent as to bring the custom into disre pute. Political demagogues have used the pulpit to advance their heresies and to slander their betters. Whether this is to be continued hereafter, we know not, nor do we care. Female Candidates fob Office.— lt seems that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who is a candidate for Congress in one of the districts of Now York city, is not the only lady aspirant for legislative honors.
