The Baltimore Troubles.
At onetime it was thought that something
seriota would grow out of the Baltimore
troubles. The Radical press throughout the
country -were calling upon the "boya in blue"
to be on hand in case they could succeed in
bringing on a clash of arms. ' These disloy
al editors, enemies of the President and op
posed to all law and order, declared that they
would cause the streets of Baltimore to run
with the blood of every man who dared rap
port Gov. Swarm in the removal of the old
Police Commissioners.
I" The old board of Commissioners, after
having a fair and impartial hearing before
the proper authorities, have been removed,
and a new board appointed. Wm. Thomas
Valliantand James Young constitute the
new board. These men immediately on their
appointment proceeded to get possession of
their office, with the records and papers.
Soon after presenting a document, making a
formal demand for the surrender of all the
Station Houses, Marshal's office, Fire-alarm
Telegraph and Police force, they found them
selves in the custody of a Deputy Sheriff
who arrested them upon a bench warrant is
sued by Judge Bond. They were arrested
for taking steps in endeavoring in the most
peaceable and proper way to take charge of
the duties that had just been assigned them.
They procured, counsel, who on appearing
inquired for the affidavits upon which the ar
rests had been made. They argued that the
arrest was an unwarrantable one that these
men were the duly commissioned Commis
sioners, and were exercising only their legal ,
authority.
On the 3d inst. at 3.15 p. m.f Judge Bond
gave decided orders that each of the parties
should enter bail in the sum of $25,000 to
keep the peace towards tho Board of Police
in the City of Baltimore. Sheriff Thomp
son was also required to give bail in the
same amount. While all this wa3 going on
the City was comparatively quiet, although
there were large crowds of people on the
streets, eagerly and menacingly discussing
the situation of affairs.
These parties refused to give the required
bail, and have since been committed to pris
on. At this stage of the proceedings there
were some riotous demonstrations made near
the newspaper offices over the announcement
of the particulars, - but the Police promptly
ended the matter by arresting the leaders. -r-
On the following day the counsel for these
newly appointed Commissioners made appli
cation to Judge Bartol, of the Court of Ap
peals, for a writ of habeas corpus to bring
before him the parties now held in custody
by the Warden of tho City Jail, under the
order of Judge Bond of the Criminal Court.
The writ is made returnable, under the laws
of Maryland on the subject, within three
days. At present writing it is not known
what course the Warden of the Jail will
take. If the parties are brought before
Judge Bartol, the whole question and the
Tsriou3 point3 at law involved, will be fully
discussed by the Counsel on both side.?. The
whole Matter no doubt will be amicably and
satisfactorily arranged.and the new Commis
sioners will enter upon their duties as officers
unmolested and respected. J
Thus the wind is completely taken out of
the sails of the Radicals who threatened to
drench the "streets of Baltimore with blood
if Governor Swann attempted a removal of
the old Board.
It is rumored that General Canby propo-
tea declaring martial law in that citv. ' Gen.
Grant is in the city consulting the parties as
to the best mode of adjusting the affairs

Surrender, of the Democratic)
.. Party.
r Such a proposition as Ihia, ia its naked
lorm, would fire the soul cf every trueDem
ocrat, and every' intelligent voter of that
party would at once (were the woDositinn
directly made) swear upon the altar of his
country that never -never should this
thing be done. Yet crafty politicians full
of expedients for temporary and evanescent
triumph have made bold strokes to effect it
At this period of a lull in political excite
ment wq propose to call the calm attention of
the party to the subject for the purpose of
anrasmg tnem to the importance of euard-
ing and taking a determined stand against
such machinations such bold, ; fruitless,
worthless tricks.
On the -4th of March last a vigorous and
formidable effort w'aa made to induce the
Democratic State Convention not to nomi
nate a Democrat for Governor. On the
part of the men who insisted on this course,
present success alone, the present defeat of
the Radicals, was urged as most important
of all things and as their sole motive for the
action they proposed. If to this purpose
was added the control of official patronage,
probably the whole of their motives would
be expressed. General Meade (not a poli
tician) was their favorite, but he peremptorily
declined such a questionable position. Mr.
Cowan, and others, were proposed, but the
delegates were true to the purpose for which .
they were elected, Hicstcr Clymer was nom
inated, ami the Democratic party was saved
the humiliation of a surrender. The men
engaged in this movement declared we could
not elect Clymer ; their moral influence wa3
against us in this campaign, they created
fear, doubt and despondency wherever they
could, and thus had much to do with pro
ducing the disaster they had prophesied.
So it wa3 in our Congressional district.
The same things were done, but were urged
with more vigor, and the same results fol-
owed. ' t
Now we put it to every Democrat, how
Would j'ou have1 felt" going to the election
without a candidate for Governor, without a
candidate for Congress, and nothing but a
ocal ticket of petty offices upon which to
claim a rarty triumph the triumph of
those principles which you believe can alone
restore the Government, and with it peace
and prosperity? If the mongrel candidates
had been successful by your votes, is it not
palpable that the Democratic party could
never have again risen? The former in
office, with the official patronage at their dis
posal, would have controlled our Conven
tions hereafter, and .every principle of hu
man nature would have induced them to
maintain their own power, which they could
only do l3' submerging ' the Democracy.
This they would have been compelled to do,
for they could not maintain themselves in
position if the Democratic party ever ob
tained power with its own candidates. The
political lives of these men would have de
penuca upon Keeping tne democrats in a
minority, so as to compel them to keep elect
ing "Conservatives." That this would
speedily have resulted in the total destruction
of the Democratic party and the immediate
extinguishment of the principles it repre
sents is palpable to every thinker. Then is
it not equally palpable that the Democratic
party, had more to lose by electing half-and-half
men to office than from defeat by their
common enemy the Radicals? This latter
organization is despicable and ruinous, and
must speedily go down by means of ita own
inherent jolly and corruption. Then the
Democratic party, having preserved its or
ganization in all its purity, will be ready to
assume the Government of the country free
from any entangling alliances, with nothing
to thwart it in carrying oat its principles, and
will vindicate to the world that great truth
which our best statesmen have always main
tained, viz: that it alone (with its piinci'
pies) could properly govern this Nation.
The Philadelphia 14th of August Conven
tion was intended by those immediately in
terested in. getting it up to swallow the De
mocracy at a single gulp. But either the
whale was too small or the giant too large;
the Democracy took care to control the con
cern .sufficiently to see that no evil should
come of it and it adjourned after proclaim
ing principles which had no other effect than
to command patriotic approbation. With
this ended all efforts to wheedle the Demo
cratic party into a regular surrender, but now
it was attacked in detachment A boll,
f-ystematic and desperately energetic effort
was Eiaue to carry the Democratic Conven
tion of the State of New York. General
Dix, who at frequent intervals pervading the
whole course of his life professed to be a
Democrat General Dix, a complete, and
parfect specimen of a tool of the hour,, whose
instincts in that line are so keen and unfail
ing that he has never for a moment lost tight
of the flesh pot, and whose principles are
so admirably pliable that whether Greek,
Roman, Christian, Turk or Indian dispenses
spoils, he is first at the table and. is always
the recipient of the last as well as the first
crumb General Dix a political chamber
maid, ever ready to fill the arms of the po
lite volupluiry, or fur tmcj and promotion,
to do the part of midwife at the production
of aey politcal abortion General Dix, the
subtle tool of knaves and the fawning flat
terer of fools, the toady to corruptionists'and
beggar-slave of whoever or whatever is in
power, a sheer fullowcr of fortune for its
favors this burlesque upon a proper man,
General Dix (a General, too, afar from fight)
was put forward for imposition upon the
Convention of the State of New York as the
Democratic candidate for Governor. Of
course the dose wa3 too nauseous, and even
tender-footed ' Democrats of that State re
jected him right properly and of course
rejected him. They nominated a Democrat
one of the best men of that State and
wo hope' they will elect him.
Next, an effort more in detail was made
more insidious. The Democrats of Phila
delphia were easily captured and as easily
whipped afterward!, under their new, strange
and unnatural banner. A thoroughly com
bined and principal attack was made on this
Congre?Monal district Without any desire
to
of f-clml" or 'italk
in
mee'
nks. to
stern ability of a majority of the Conferees
and the candidate of a majority of the coun
ties of the district that a Democrat, spot
less and without guile, w'aa nominated, and
that the Democracy marched to the contest
under no chequered or doubtful flag. They
met defeat and preserved their honor" pre
served inviolate and untarnished their pure
principles, unadulterated even by suspicion.
We are not disposed to animadvert upon
the conduct or to denounce the acts of any
of crar own party who differ from us as to
these things about which we write. We on
ly deem it due to the Democratic party to
detail to all its individual members a glimpse
of what has been done to compel them to
surrender, and to appeal to them, in the
name of all that is good and great, to stand
by their organization, to fear no danger, to
succumb to no chicanery, and to "never sur
render." Clinton Democrat.
Politics in the Pulpit.
The parsons having returned from their
Summer vacation resumed their pulpits on
Sunday for a new political campaign. They
appear to be refreshed with the waters of
fashionable resorts, salt and fresh ; but the
waters of life" do not appear to have in
spired them much toward the fulfilment of
their supposed mission the spiritual regen
eration of their flocks. With few exceptions
the sermons preached on Sunday were polit
ical harangues, some covert and insidious,
some open, bold, and almost blasphemous.
Dr. Bellows, while taking his text from the
Bible, descanted, not upon the duty of man
to his Creator, but upon the elections : drag
ged into the pulpit the "glorious news from
Maine and Vermont V' speculated upon the
prospects in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indi
ana ; and .concluded by a praj-cr to the Al
mighty that He might guide the pedple to
vote the Radical ticket at the coming elec
tions.
Such language one might expect to hear
in the gatherings at street corners or in bar
rooms ; but your political parson thinks that
they are subjects good enough for the house
" God. These rejoicings over elections past
and prophetic, auguries of the result of elec
tions to come were-inixed up with the most
undignified abuse of the President 5f the
United States and his Administration. Are
there no souli at all to be saved in Dr. Bel
low's "Church of All Souls ?" Are the ways
of the politicians of more importance to his
congregation than "the waj, the truth, and
the life," which he is supposed to lead them
to? Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, too, opened
his discourse with a prayer that the Presi
dent might be led "through darkness into
light," that is to say the darkness which en
velops the upholders of the Constitution to
the ethereal light of Radicalism, with its
symbols of blood and fire and a new civil
war. The other political preachers were
more delicate in their illusions. Dr. Tyng
informed his audience that he had his tirade
bottled up, but would open it on a future
occasion. With such an example before
them in the pulpits filled by white preachers
we cannot be surprised that the poor blacks
of Zion Church were entertained by their
colored pastor wi th som e what similar, t hough
much more moderate and Christian language;
nor that when he announced that the Sa
viour had died for colored as well as white
sinners, one of the congregation cried out
"Bully for him," and the whole crowd rose
to their feet, shouting, stamping and scream
ing. This was, no doubt, most unseemly
conduct in a church, but not a whit worse
than the indecorum of the white parsons
who introduce politics, profanity, a spirit of
uncharitalleness, and a firebrand of discord
into "their pulnit speeches. . It is the gener
al opinion that the business of ministers of
religion is to save souls and promulgate the
doctrine of charity to all men ; but ministers
of Dr. Bellow's and Dr. Ciecver's, and Dr.
Tyng's stamp despise all such old-fashioned
notions. They evidently regard the pulpit
as a political rostrum, and instead of being
the mouth-piece of the gospel they have be
come the agents of politicians and the Evil
One. Xew York Herald.

The South on the Amendment.
While all the real representatives of South
ern opinion continue to denounce the at
tempt to make them accept a purely party
measure, under the pretence that acceptance
will give the Southern States their represen
tation in Congress, some of the very few so
called Southern papers which advocated the
adoption of the amendment ."for fear of
something worse" are now wavering, or, at
least, weak in supporting their side of the
question. They see that the South is almost
unanimous against the amendment Even
Flake's (Galveston) Bulletin, whichhasbecn
quoted with great satisfaction, by Northern
Radical organs as supporting the amend
ment, under date of October 17, "favors"
the Radical programme in the following man
ner: "If this is not done, stronger terms will be
insisted on by Congress. We agree with
moderate Northern journals that there is no
hope, with the present temper the North
ern people are in, for the South to expect
better terms. The constitutional amend
ment adopted, and the South will be admit
ted to Congress, where the Southern mem
bers may join the Conservatives aud head
off the Radicals."
The Newborn N. C. Times, another jour
nal quoted by the Radical press as favoring
the amendment, has changed hands, is now
the Journal of Commerce, and in its fourth
number, October 25, replying to a hopeful
article in the Richmond limes, which imag
ines that "there is even a probability that
the attempt to force the constitutional
amendment upon us will be abandoned," it
says :
"We would we could take as favorable a
view of the 'situation as our neighbor of the
Richmond Times. We confess that to tis
the political situation is full of gloom. The
very reason assigned by the Timrs, for his
anticipation that the attempt to force the
'constitutional amendment' upon U3 will be
abandoned, strikes us as conclusively against
his more favorable opinion. Our dignified
submission to measures which we deem op
pressive, and 'ourunresisting'attitudeof pa
tience under accumulated suffering, will be
tortured, we fear into sullenness and silent
hatred of the people of the North."
And of Dr. Deem's Wutchman, printed
in thiscity fur Southern circulation, the Ral
eigh Sentinel, October 25, hays that it"Me
takes correct ground on the Howard amend
ment," While the Ecening Post and other Radical
papers pretend that there is a considerable
feeling at the South in favor of the amend
ment, the Chicago Tribune, the most Radi
cal sheet in'the West, tells the whole fctory
truthfully, as follows:
From the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 25.
If the j iews of the Southern people in re
gard to the constitutional amendment arc
fairly represented by the Southern press,
then we are bound to say there is very little
prospect of the voluntary ratification of that
amendment by any one of the ten unrepre
sented States.
The Southern press is almost unanimous
against the amendment, and in its opposi
tion manifests a bitterness and insolence nev
er l-cfore excelled in the discussion of polit
ical questions. The acceptions are few, and
in comparison, utterly insignificant. As for
the number of representative Southern pa
pers that support the amendment, they may
bo counted on the fingers cf a single hand.
Those which support it are generally conduct
ed by Northern men, "new comers" who
have little influence, and can scarcely be said
to represent any powerful portion of the
comiuuni.iy in which they live. Even these
are generally timid and apologetic in their
support, placing the matter on the ground
of expediency rather than of solid principle.
"It is better to get in so than not get in at
all," is the sum and substance of their rea
soning.

Jlfcstrs. Jacdby & Shu man, Sirs: Allow
me again a space in your paper to take ex
ception to Mr. Tate's reply to my commu
nication of Oetobcr Sth, in which he says :
"I have not imputed corrupt or improper
motives, to the action ot -Mr. .vjoutgomerv
iu the late Senatorial Conference, nor did 1
write it in a spirit cf unkindness." So far,
very good. 1 now understand him to say
that 1 had no right to vote for Mr. Jackson
on die last, or on any other ballot, on the
ground that I was instructed to vote for
him, (Mr. TateV ' He gives as evidence of
the fact, that Mr.. Purdy inserted in the
"Northumberland County Democrat," that
the Coufbrees of Northumberland Couiity
were instructed .to support him, and asks
me what I have to say to it. My reply is,
that Mr. Purdy is mis'aken in making the
above assertion. At the primary election
in Northumberland County cadi elector
votes directly for the candidate of his choice.
When the vote for Senator was counted the
result was that Mr. Ent had-received sev
eral hundred votes, Mr. McNinch a few,
and Mr. Tate none. At the urgent request
of some of Mr. McNinch' s friends from
Columbia County, who attended our County
Convention, there was a resolution adopted,
after much opposition, leaving it optional
with the Conferees to vote for the choice of
Columbia or Montour. In this resolution
there were no instructions to vote for Mr.
Tate, neither was the resolution of any im
portance, as no one in the County believed
tha. the Return Judges had a right to set
aside the vote of the County, which was
given to Mr. Ent As I understand it. I
was instructed to vote for Mr. Ent, but his
name not being before the Convention, I
was left free to vote for whichever candidate
I j -referred.
Mr. Tate says my vote scaled Mr. Jack
son's nomination, and that it ultimately de
prived, Columbia County of the Senator.
fcealing the nouiination of some one, is the
object of all conventions, and after voting
for Mr. Tate as often as I did, and finding
that I had no r awer to seal his nomination,
I discharged tne duty for which I was ap
pointed, by pealing the nomination of one
that I hadpower to seal.

" The, Market Street Colonel.'
Messrs. Jacobt and Shcman : During
the progress of the late memorable cam
paign it was not unusual to see in the equal
ly ever memorable " Little-Campaign"
6heet, labored articles to fasten upon the
undersigned, the above cognomen, of "The
Market Street Colonel" And now, that
the election is over, the dirty little bantling
is dead, and the country saved, I propose to
inquire what these " Ingins" made by lying
and deception. Their combined efforts to
blast my character morally, locally or po
litically, even upon false issues, most sig
nally failed, and they are to-day upon record
as a band of political desperadoes, who had
the icil but only lacked the tower, to
blacken the reputation of one, who through
a long lifetime, was to all and each of them,
a faithful friend and benefactor.
I wish it to be recorded, as a part of the
history of the times, that this miserable
little Campaign crew of office expectants
and political cormorants failed to fasten
upon my character or record a single tangible
dereliction. Having thus failed to make out
a case, they united their forlorn forces and
next tried hard to cstablish,by the aid of old
letters and othr collate! al evidence, the
exploded fallacy that I had, once on a time,
favored the widening of Market Street in
Bloomsburg at the expense of the county.
In this last desperate effort of my unnatural
enemies, to do mo a serious injury, in the
estimation of the people whose interest and
honor I have ever tried faithfully to uphold
in adversity and prosperity for a period of
years dating anterior to the time when many
of these ingrates were in their swaddling
clothes I have, indeed, gained a great tri
umph. For in no single instance, have these
fellows adduced one iota of evidence, and I
defy the u orld to prove, that I ever in word,
print or letter, favor ku the Vidkning of
Market Street at tue expense of the
public !
On the contrary, I am prepared to prove
by competent testimony, that one of the
most self-conceited individuals of the "Ingin
tribe" about Bloomsburg, has since the elec
tion unequivocally declared himself in favor
of widening Market Street, at the expense of
the tax-payers of Columbia County. Ifis
name is Peter II. Freeze, brother to " the
Colonel." And how many more cf them
are of the opiuion of Mr. Freeze, but have
not the candor to publicly express it, must
be left to the inexorable development of fu
ture events. LEVI L. TATE.
