WEDNESDAY JULY 3.
HE CARRIEB THE LA3JBS IN HIS
BOSOM.
A mvect golden head had forgotten life's way,
Asleep on its pillow of roses.
Wee hands shutting close as if tired of play,
lake buds which the Summer discloses ;
But the l»oautiful song of my birdie was still,
And over the Ups of my blossom.
Tlie dimples lay white as the frost on the rill,
When a spirit sang low to my spirit at will,
“ He carries the lambs in Bis bosom.”
There is never a lamb from loves sorrowful
fold
But wanders in fields that are vernal.
And never a bud hid away from the cold
But blooms in the Summer eternal ;
When storms sweep the hills, and the night
gathers deep,
I think of my Baradise blossom.
And hear the same song for the weary that
weep,
“ The weakest are safest, for. over the steep,
He carries the iambs in His bosom.”
WOMAN’S SHORTCOMINGS.
BY MRS. BROWNING.
She has laughed as softly as if she sighed ;
She has counted six, and over,
Os a purse well filled, and a heart well tried—
Oh, each a worthy lover! *
They "give her time.' for her soul must slip
Where the world has set its grooving;
She will lie to none with her fair red lips,
But love seeks truer loving.
She trembles her fan in a sweetness dumb,
As her thoughts were beyond recalling,
With a glance for one. and a glance for some,
From her eyelids rising and falling;
Sjieaks common words with a bashful air,
Hears hold wsrds, unreproving;
But her silence says—what she never will swear.
And love seeks better loving.
Go, lady, lean to the light guitar,
And drop a smile to the bringer.
Then smile as sweetly when he is far,
At the voice of an inn-door singer ;
Bask tenderly beneath tender eyes,
Glance lightly on their removing i
And join new words to old perjuries—
But dare not call it loving.
Unless you can think, when the song is done,
No other is soft in the rhythm ;
Unless you can feel, when left by one.
That all rnen else go with him ;
Unless you can know, when upraised by his
breath,
That our beauty itself wants proving ;
Unless you can swear. "For life, for death !’’
Oh, fear to call it loving.
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day,
On the absent face that fixed you ;
UidoHs you can love, as the angels may,
With tho breadth of Heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith is fast,
Through behaving and unbehaving;
Unless you can die, when tho dream is past,
Oh. never call it loving !
THE LAY OF THE GAB MAN.
ms life.
Don't envy the lifo of a gas man,
In spite of his plunder and pelf ;
Forever blown up by tho public,
And often blown up by himself.
A common man blesses tho sunshine,'
Delighted with beautiful (lay ;
But the bloated and horrible gas man
Despises whatever don’t pay.
All nature to him is hut business,
The sun does a gas tank appear;
Tho very stars nothing but burners,
And the moon but a big chandelier.
A satrap, ho governs our pockets,
Our houses, our shops, and our rights ;
Tho doctor may fuss with our livers,
But he must have charge of our lights.
Bead in the lifo of a gas man,
The lessons such people can leach,
Prophetic of brimstone anil blazes,
As plain as a parson can preach.
HIS DEATH.
How dreadful the death of a gas man,
Surrounded and haunted by those
Whom his plundering charges have swindled
Till conscience bids him repose.
Oh! solemn and awful his passage,
With tlie implements gathered around
Whorowith lie lias ruined his neighbors
And lit his own homo under ground.
Tho coal and ooko and bitumon,
Tho acids, the tar and tho steam,
The sulphur, tho limo and foul odors,
All through his horriblo dream.
If ho kicks, both his foot must romind him
Os tho feet overcharged in the hill,
Wliilo tho click of the clock, liko the metro,
Each sound must give him a thrill.
nEKEAFTER.
At length, when his oxygon fails him,
Ho sinks with tho folks of his sort,
When Satan immediately grabs him,
And places him in a retort.

lishes the following article in its Sunday
morning’s issue : “We have important
intelligence from the old war Governor
of Michigan, Hon. Austin Blair. It is,
that he will not in any event support
Grant, and that if Greeley is endorsed
at Baltimore he will take the stump for
Greeley. The Governor does not con
ceal his sentiments. He 6ays the stam
pede from Grant to Greeley will not be
by one or two, but by platoons. He
thinks Michigan will go for Greeley if a
cordial union is effected between tile op
ponents of Grant. We also have direct
and reliable information from Senator
Sumner, and important facts respecting
his position. He is now preparing a
speech upon the finances of the country,
and the financial administration of Presi
dent Grant. It will astonish the Ameri
can people when delivered. Should
Greeley be nominated at Baltimore, Sena
tor Sumner is prepared to speak to his
countrymen in favor of the election of
Greeley to the Presidenev. ”

BARNUM’B MENAGERIE LOOSE.
Lions and Tigers Wrecked at Midnight
on a Railroad Train- The Roar of the
M ild Beasts—How they Were Slip
noosed and Recaptured.
[From the Titusville Courier.]
As the great Bamum’s show was leav
ing Erie on Saturday morning, en route
to Corry, one of the trains drawn by
two engines was thrown from the track,
and both locomotives and several cars
were precipitated down the hank, the
two former imbedded in the earth, while
tho latter were completely wrecked, and
the entire train and its contents received
a lively shaking up. The lions roared,
the monkeys chattered, parrots scream
ed, the great rhinoceros snorted and
bawled, while the less ferocious animals,
like the giraffe and eland, shrank trem
bling into corners, refusing to recognize
the caresses of their keepers.
Acrobats and equestrians executed
feats of agility never attempted in the
sawdust ring, some of them going
through the car windows in their eager
ness to escape. Melvith executed a
pirouette on his head, while Lazelle and
Wilson gave an exhibition of their skill
on the “flying” trapeze, unequalled for
rapidity in its execution. Dan Castello
thought that the funniest thing he
could say was that “ absence of lx>dy is
better than presence of mind in this
case, ” and he proceeded to give a prac
tical illustration of his idea, while the
old performers involuntarily gave an ex
hibition of ground and lofty tumbling
“not set down on the hills.” Ben Lus
bie, the “lightning” ticket seller, solved
a problem in suhstraction, with his
usual agility, while Summerfield, his
assistant, made “change” with refresh
ing rapidity.
As the accident happened about two
o’clock in the morning, and the night
being cloudy and dark, the confusion
that reigned must he imagined, for it
cannot be described.
It was speedily discovered that a cage
containing two royal Asiatic lions was
among the wreck, and the terrified per
formers were not long in ascertaining
that these two monarclis of the jangle
were loose and unharmed. This fact
added to tlie terror of the scene, and a
stampede for safety immediately ensued.
Professor Charles White, the celebrated
lion tamer, alone remained undismayed,
and immediately began perfecting ar
rangements to secure his pets—a feat, as
may be supposed, not easily accom
plished. Providing himself with an or
dinary rawhide, Professor White ad
vanced towafd the spot where the two
unlaslied brutes stood glancing fero
ciously about them, but lie had not ap
proached very near to them when lie was
greeted with a terrific roar from the
male, which broke the stillness of the
night in awful anil startling manner. It
“meant business,” and as the great beast
stood erect lashing his tawny sides with
his tail, it was evident that for a time at
least lie was “monarch of all he sur
veyed.”
The little “kitten,” or baby lion, par
took of the general excitement, and
mewed piteously. At times the lioness
would seize it in her mouth and look fu
riously about, as if upon the point of
leaping into the darkness in search of a
safe retreat, and for a time things look
ed squally. The liou tamer, however,
was at work, and procuring a stout rope
he succeeded in throwing it over tlie
head of the male lion, and in a few mo
ments he was securely fastened to a tree.
Tlie female, however, with a perverse
ness peculiar to her sox, and perhaps in
furiated by the"recent loss of two of -her
“kittens,” was not so tractable and show
ed fight; but Professor White’s deter
mined manner soon brought her to terms,
and slip-noosing the younger one, and
slowly drawing it into an empty cage,
the mother was induced to follow, and
thus were both tlie ferocious beasts se
cured, and all immediate danger from
them was over.
The other animals were captured with
out much trouble, and at about ten
o’clock the show arrived at Corry, where
an immense crowd of people were pa
tiently awaiting their coming.
It is at once singular and fortunate
that no one »vas seriously injured, nor
were any very valuable animals hurt.
Four cars, with their contents, were
wrecked and many animals let loose, but
it is believed that most of them have
been recaptured, the lions being tho only
dangerous ones that were let loose.
Great credit is due to Professor White
for his intrepidity, for had he been less
determined, serious loss of life might
have occurred through the ferocity of
tho two brutes that had so suddenly se
cured their freedom.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
Receipts and Exports—Visible Supply.
From tho Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, of the 22d inst., wo get the
following ;
Friday, p. m., June 21, 1872.
By special telegrams received by us
to-night from the Southern ports, we
are in possession of the returns show
ing the receipts, exports, &c., of cotton
for the week ending this evening, June
21. From the figures thus obtained it
appears that the total receipts for the
seven days has reached 8,777 bales
against 11,833 bales last week, 10,762
bales the previous week, and 13,117 bales
three weeks since, making the total re
ceipts since the first of September, 1871,
2,682,296 bales against 3,869,044 bales
for the same period of 1870-71, showing
a decrese since September 1 this year of
1,186,748 bales.
The exports for tho week ending this
evening reach a total of 12,863 bales, of
which 9,404 were to Great Britain, 3,159
to France, and 400 to rest of tho Conti
nent, while the stocks, as made up this
evening, are now 139,941 bales.
COTTON ACREAGE.
Referring to the report of the Agri
cultural Department at Washington as
to the extent] of land put into cotton
this year, the Chronicle says :
It is a little surprising to see how
nearly the result of the Bureau returns
agrees with the statements we have
issued ; not only do the totals quite
closely correspond this year, but they
also did last year. The Department,
however, through some inadvertance,
has both this year and last yeitr made an
error in its total percentage. For in
stance, it is stated the total decrease of
the whole country last year.over 1870, to
be 14 to 15 per cent., whereas its own
figures worked out made the decrease
only about 13 per ceut. Then, again,
this year it states the increase over 1871
to bo 13 per cent., whereas we find in
the same way that it is only about 12
per cent. There is one important fact
which the two statements develop, and
that is the acreage this season does not
exceed, but on the contrary, falls a very
little short of 1870.
COTTON IN SIGHT.
By cable we have to-night the stocks
at the different European ports, the
India cotton afloat for all of Europe,
and the American afloat for each port
as given below. From figures thus re
ceived, wo have prepared the following
table, showing the quantity of cotton in
sight at this date (June 21) of each of
the two past seasons :
1872. 1871.

These figures indicate an increase in
the cotton in sight to-night of 157,216
bales compared with the same date of
1871.
INTEKIOB STOCKS.
The interior stocks have decreased
during the week 1,171 bales, and are to
night 3,476 bales less than at the same
period last year. The receipts have
been 2,302 bales less than the same
week last year.
Position of Hon. James B. Beck.—
The editor of the Paris (Ky.) Citizen has
interviewed Hon. James B. Beck, who
returned from Washington a day or two
since, upon the political situation, and
is entirely satisfied with his views. “He
regards auy other course than the sup
port of the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention as out of the question and
the bight of political folly.” There is
hardly a Democrat of aiiy prominence
whatever in Kentucky who does not hold
the same opinion as does Mr. Beck.
Public sentiment is all one way iu the
State.
Homicide. —We learn that on last
Saturday, Mr. Mark Henry was killed at
Wallace’s shop, near the line of Gwin
net and DeKalb counties, some four or
five miles from Stone Mountain, by a
man named Kirk. Kirk struck Henry
with a bed rail, crushing iu his skull
and breaking an arm. Henry lived until
night. Kirk fled soon after committing
the deed. Henry was a married man
and a cripple. It Is said tint the killing
grew out of a misunderstanding about
borrowing fire.— Atlanta Constitution,

TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.
THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CON
VENTION.
Delegates to the State Democratic Con
vention-Diversity of Opinion—Prob
able Action of the Convention—Per
sonal Difficulty—Speech of Hon. Robt.
Toombs.
[special dispatch to the chronicle &
SENTINEL. ]
Atlanta. Ga., June 25.
A great many delegates to the State
Democratic Convention are here—among
them General Benning, Martin J. Craw
ford, Linton Stephens, Robert Toombs,
Julian Hartridge, A. H. Colquitt, A. B.
Lamar, and scores of other distinguished
Georgians.
A diversity of opinion exists as to
what will be the action of the Convention.
The majority here are supposed to be
favorable to Greeley.
It is believed that one wing will insist
on the adoption of resolutions advoca
ting a straight ticket, while another wing
will advocate resolutions instructing del
egates to Baltimore to go for Greeley.
It is thought, however, that a large body
of the Convention will favor a middle
course—affirming Democratic principles,
but leaving the delegates free and un
trammelled, and promising to abide the
action of the Baltimore Convention.
Efforts have been made, without avail,
to heal the Fulton County breach, and
the question will have to come before
the Convention. The “red hots” seem
to object principally to Hon. B. H. Hill
as a delegate, and he, in justice to his
friends, declines to withdraw. The Con
vention will probably admit both dele
gations.
Nothing eortayi has developed as to
the organization of the Contention. The
chances seem to favor Hon. Julian Hart
ridge or Col. A. E. Lamar for President.
A personal difficulty occurred in the
arcade of the Kimball House this morn
ing, between Hon. C. T. Goode, of
Americus, and D. P. Hill, of Atlanta, in
consequence of expressions against Hon.
B. H. Hill by the former.
SPEECH OP GEN. fcoOMBS.
A large crowd assembled at Represen
tati\«c.s’ Hall this evening to hear a
speech from Gen. Toombs.
The speaker said he spoke with a firm
resolve to stand to principle. Now is
tlie time to look for the true paths.
Great principles were being overturned
by men who ought to defend them.
The sum of political philosophy was to
prevent one man from injuring another.
To those who intend to maintain Demo
cratic principles, he spoke to beg them
never to desert their principles. The
government of the South had been
placed on them by force and fraud in
those evil times. Tho Democratic par
ty, in 1868, pronouncod these govern
ments fraud, and nearly three million
men voted to sustain tl*at platform.
Tilings had gone from bad to worse.
Look at Carolina! He hated the United
States Government, and no honest man
could love it. The Democratic party
opposed that Government’s laws, admin
istered liy a President whose ignorance
was only equalled by his rapacity. All
Southern people had been united against
that despotism once, but there were ele
ments of discord which manifested
themselves now. Ho yet stuck by the
resolutions of 1798. The principles of
the party were not dead. We did have
a chance of success yet. If we did not,
it was still every man’s duty to fight for
the right, no matter what the conse
quences. England, after struggling four
centuries, was now the freest country in
the world. Yet, our people wish to sur
render aftor a four years’ conflict.
Wo have been defeated on the field
and nt the ballot-box ; we have beon
warred against seven years. It is now
time for us to war a little. The North
could well accept tho situation ;
they had no negroes. Tlie South
couldn’t afford to accept; we couldn’t
stand negro rule, but it didn’t hurt the
North. Tho Southern man wha accept
ed the situation accepted ruin for him
self and degradation for Ills family.
’Twas Greeley who imposed negro rule.
He had advocated every amendment and
obnoxious law ; and you propose to fol
low him. The South can’t afford to fol
low Greeley’s standard ; lie had no sin
gle principle in common with us. He
had served in Congress with Greeley ;
lie was was a little four-foot eight-inch
fellow, and every ism stuck to him as nat
urally as cuckleburs to a sheep. Greeley
cared not how much misery others suffer
ed if he escaped. He stuck to nothing, was
unstable as water and couldn’t prevail.
Ho abliored every principle tlie South
loved. Chains would be our roward if
we followed him, and we deserved them.
Greeley favored a suspension of the
habeas corpus and negro equality, by
which the negroes could follow you
everywhere and stink you to your grave.
Don’t abandon truth because wrong is
powerful; you must wage war against it.
His mentors of the press were afraid
he’d make Yankees mad. He hoped he
would make them so mad they’d have
St. Vitus dance.
If he were not too old he could go
through sand like Peter the Hermit, and
preach a crusade against the love of get
ting gold, which was demoralizing our
manhood.
He never intended to abandon prin
ciples, and if his associates left them he’d
abandon them, chalk their backs and
kick them out of the house. When men
deserted party and principles, they were
traitors, and he was not a bolter.
Go to Baltimore, counsel there, and
see what is best. If you think you can’t
win with the party, don’t nominate;
leave us free to choose between two
evils. And if it is policy to break the
enemy’s lines by supporting the worst
man, who was generally the best, why
say so.
The papers did not represent public
opinion. Editors were entitled to only
just as much respect as other respect
able men. When they used the pronoun
“I,” he would respect them; but when
they used the royal word “we,” he dared
to question their pretensions.
In conclusion, he would say, stick to
your principles and nail your colors to
the mast, but if you found you could
not succeed, do not nominate at Balti
more, but leave the people free to vote
for Grant, Greeley or the devil.
The idea left by Mr. Toombs’ speech
is, that his principal objection is to
nominating Greeley at Baltimore, or
passing resolutions to-morrow favoring
his nomination.
Calls were made for other gentlemen,
but none responded. H. G. W.

Officers—The Fulton County Muddle
—First Delegation Admitted—U n
- Delegates to Baltimore—
Another Personal Collision.
[special dispatch to the chronicle and
SENTINEL.]
Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—There was
an immense crowd at the State Conven
tion this morning. The hall was not
large enough to seat the delegates.
The Convention was called to order at
10 o’clock a. m., by Hon. Jnlian Hart
ridge, Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee.
On motion of Dunlap Scott, W. W.
Clark, of Newton county, was elected
temporary Chairman.
Col. Clark, on taking the Chair, said
this is a most important period in our
history, and he hoped all had come with
the purpose to relieve the country from
the thraldom resting upon it. Perhaps
we are divided in sentiment, but we
must harmonize. A great and powerful
enemy must be met and overcome.—
Urging harmony and inviting the earnest
co-operation of the delegates, he called
them to the discharge of their duty.
T. W. J. Hill, McCamy and J. D.
Waddell were chosen Secretaries.
Carey W. Styles moved the appoint- 1
ment of a Committee on Permanent Or
ganization.
After discussion, a substitute, for the
call of the counties, was adopted. The
counties were called and the names of
delegates presented—each of the two
delegations from Fulton presenting their
credentials.
The motion to annoint a Committee
on Permanent Organization was renewed
and carried.
The committee, appointed by the
Chair, consisted of three from each Con
gressional District, with Carey W. Styles
as Chairman.
The commitlee reported the following
delegates for permanent officers of the
Convention:
President—A. R. Lamar.
Vice-Presidents—J. H. Hunt, of First
District; B. N. Elly, Second District ;
W. A. Little, Third District; L. T.
Doyal, Fourth District ; M. W. Lewis,
Fifth District; H. P. "Bell, Sixth Dis
trict ; and David Irwin, Seventh Dis
trict.
A committee of three, composed of W.
A. Little, A. B. Wright and Thomas
Hardeman, conducted President Lamar
to the chair.
col. lamar’s speech.
On taking the chair, Col. A. E. Lamar
said:
“I feel that I oould best express my
thanks for the honor conferred by
silence. It is a matter of congratula
tion that in this, the most important
political crisis which has come upon us
since the revolution which lost to us
everything save honor, Georgia has sent
to her capital the exemplars of her
wisdom, integrity, and courage, to take
counsel together. For myself, let me in
voke your kindest individual considera
tion, while I say that the duties devolved
upon me shall be discharged faithfully.
For you, gentlemen, permit me to in
voke that harmony, that good feeling
and self-abnegation that should always
control men bound together by ties that
link brother to brother. As repre
sentatives of that great party which has
borne emblazoned upon its crest, for
more than a half a century, the fun
damental principles of personal liberty,
let us see that, with our bfethren else
where, wo abate not one jot or tittle of
that shibboleth that has often led us to
victory and always consoled us in defeat.
Let us march up to this issue as men
prepared to bury iii a common grave
personal pride, passion, prejudice and
ambition, and while wo see crumbling
around us in the storm, which we could
not avert, all the monuments of civil
liberty, let us, with a devotion like
.Eneas of old, when he bore Auchises
from the burning ruins of Troy, take up
in our brawuy arms our old mother
Georgia, and with stout hearts march
through all dangers, to place her upon a
pinnacle of safoty and honor. ”

The roll of delegates was then called.
When Fulton county was reached, a
special committee was appointed to con
sider and report on the claims of the ri
val delegations. The committee consist
ed of Anderson, Russell, Buchanan,
Hammond, Pierce, Netlierland and Bass.
The roll was proceeded with, showing
every county in the State represented,
except Quitman.
The Convention took a recess until 3
p. m.
afternoon session.
The Convention reassembled at 3 p.
m.
The special committee on the rival
Fulton county delegations reported the
evidence conflicting and confused, and
for the purpose of harmony deemed it
best to admit both delegations, and let
them cast tho united vote of the county.
Mr. Bass said there was no doubt that
tlie first delegates were the legal repre
sentatives, but on account of conflicting
testimony, and being in the minority,
he agreed to the report for the sake of
harmonizing the party in the county.
A delegate opposed seating both dele
gations, as setting a precedent which,
instead of harmony, would produce dis
cord throughout the State. The last
delegates had his sympathy, but they
were in tlie wrong.
W. E. Simmons offered a .substitute,
stating that there was no evidence of
fraud in the selection of the first dele
gates, and that they be seated. He pre
ferred the last delegation, but the first
delegates were legally appointed. If a
bolting precedent was established at the
capital, it would spread over Georgia
and lose the next election.
Garnett McMillian offered a motion
to amend the report by letting the Con
vention decide which delegation should
cast the vote of the county.
Gen. Toombs said the Convention had
better reject both. He then moved to
accept the report, and called the pre
vious question, the call being sustained
by a vote of 203 to 95.
The amendment was withdrawn by
Mr. McMillan.
Gen. Toombs called for the previous
question on Mr. Simmons’ substitute,
which came before the report, pending
the announcement of the vote by coun
ties, which was sustained.
The counties voted on the substitute
as follows:

THE PLATFORM.
Colonel Hardeman reported the reso
lutions, moved their adoption, and
called the previous question.
The call was sustained unanimously,
and the report ad opted, with one dissent
ing voice.
The resolutions are that the Demo
cratic party of Georgia stands upon the
principles of the Democratic party of
the Union, bringing into special
prominence, as applicable to the
present extraordinaiy condition of
the country, the unchongable doctrine
that this is a union of States, and that
the indistruqtibility of equality with
each other is an indispensable part of
our political system.
Resolved, That in the approaching
election the Democratic party invites
everybody to co-operatc with them in a
zealous determination to change the
present usurping and corrupt Adminis
tration by placing in power men who
are true to the principles of constitu
tional government and faithful to an
economical administration of public af
fairs.
Resolved, That in onr opinion the
delegates to the Baltimore Convention
should go untrammelled by instructions,
and should act, with all the lights be
fore them, as they deem best for the
good of the party and for the welfare of
the country.

~Mr. Caunon offered a resolution pledg
ing the Democracy of the State to abide
the action of the Baltimore Convention.
On motion of Gen. Wright, the reso
lution was laid on the table.
Mr. Aiken moved to take up the reso
lution just laid ou tlie table. He wished
to do it iu order that the mover might
withdraw it, so that it would not go out
to the world that Georgia refused to
abide Baltimore.
Gen. Toombs called him to order. If
he wanted to tako it out of sight, why
do it.
Gen. Hansell seconded the motion.
The platform pledged the Convention,
and the resolution was unnecessary.
The motion was carried, and the reso
lution withdrawn.
B. H. Hill said the Convention was
satisfied with tlie resolutions, and the
resolutions pledged us to abido Balti
more. To avoid any misconstruction,
lie hoped no record would bo made of

Convention take a recess for half an

voice.
Leave was given to withdraw C. C.
lvibbee as a District alternate, ho being
chosen for the State at large.
A resolution was offered commending
Governor Smith to the people as worthy
of another term.
A motion to table the resolution was
made, and amid much excitement the
resolution was withdrawn.
Hon. J. C. Nieholls thought anew Ex
ecutive Committee should be chosen.
Gon. Toombs thought it a good time
hut a bad opportunity, and hoped tho
resolution would be withdrawn.
Carey W. Styles said that as a slur had
been cast, he would resign his position
upon the Executive Committee.
Hero remarks were made by Messrs.
Nieholls and Styles, but were not heard
owing to the confusion. It ended in the
former making the remark that “ a gen
tleman could understand me,” when
Styles struck him with a stick, and
Nieholls returned the blow with his fist.
They were separated amid great excite
ment.
A motion was made and adopted to
receive the resignation of Col. Styles.
A long resolution of thanks to the
President was adopted, and the Conven
tion adjourned sine die.
The day is regarded as a great victory
for those of the party who wish to bring
about harmony. It is believed all the
delegates will go for Greeley, if nothing
better can be done. 11. G. W.
General Summary*
Washington, June 24.—The June re
port of the statistics of the Department
of Agriculture now in press is exhaus
tive in its treatment of wheat statistics.
It is based upon reports from nine hun
dred and three counties, of which one
hundred and ninety-nine indicate an
average condition; two hundred and
seventy higher than an average ; and
four hundred and thirty-four in a low
condition—ranging from one hundred,
the standard of a medium prospect,
down to ten, and a few cases down to
entire failure. The State averages are
calculated not simply from the number
of counties reported, but from the
comparative production of the several
counties. These nine hundred and three
reports includo a very large proportion
of the wheat area of the country. The
summary of the returns of area shows
a reduction of two per cent, from that
of 1871. Tho acreage of Spring wheat
in States which grow that variety main
ly is represented as follows: Maine,
108; New Hampshire, 100 ; Vermont,
102 ; Massachusetts, 05 ; Wisconsin, 08;
Minnesota, 101 ; lowa, 106; Nebraska,
113; Oregon, 107; California, where
the distinction of Spring and Winter is
scarcely known, reports Spring 120;
Winter, 130 ; Illinois, where Winter
wheat constitutes two-thirds of the crop,
gives 101 for Winter and 75 for Spring ;
Kansas, where Spring wheat predom
inates, returns 140 for Spring and 62
for Winter. The States growing Winter
wheat are : Connecticut, 9o ; New York,
98 ; New Jersey, 98; Pennsylvania, 90 ;
Delaware, 96 ; Maryland, 100 ; Virginia,
98 ; North Carolina, 101 ; South Caro
lina, 96; Georgia, 98 ; Alabama, 105 ;
Mississippi, 95 ; Texas, 115 ; Arkansas,
90 ; Tennessee, 103 ; West Virginia, 100 ;
Kentucky, 92 ; Ohio, 88; Michigan, 92 ;
Indiana, 94; Illinois, 101; Missouri,
92. The condition of the predominate
variety in each State is thus stated :
Maine, 101 ; New Hampshire, 99 ; Ver
mont, 106 ; Massachusetts, 99 ; Con
necticut, 88 ; New Tork, 68; New
Jersey, 70; Pennsylvania, 70; Dela
ware 70; Maryland, 44; Virginia, 85;
North.CarolimC 101; South Carolina, 97;
Georgia, 105; Alabama, 115; Mississippi,
104- Texas, 117; Arkansas, 110; Tcnnes
see’ll7- West Virginia, 85; Kentucky,
108- Ohio, 78; Michigan, 75; Indiana,
85; Illinois, 80; Spring, 103; V isconsm,
104- Minnesota, 106; lowa, 10; Missouri,
Winter, 58; Kansas. 108; Winter, 46;
California, 99; Oregon, 95. The general
average of condition for the entire crop
is 94. The Department estimate for the
crop of 1871 was 230,000“,000 bushels, at
eleven arid a haH bushels per acre, con
sidering twelve bushels an average yield.
The area and condition of the present
croD on the first week in June, pointed
to a product of 220,000,000 bushels in
1872. The crop of 1869, which was
about 16 per cent, above an average—
the largest recorded in ten years—was
287,000)000 bushels, as returned by the
census. _.
Belleville, June 23. Since the re
port sent this afternoon, twelve more of
the injured by the railroad disaster have
died, making twenty-three now dead,
and others are dying. Medical men say
not more than six or seven of sixty-five
injured persons will live. The suffering
and appearance of the wounded is fright
ful. Tlie killed and wounded are all
second-class passengers. First-class al[
escaped uninjured.
Springfield, June 26.—The city is
crowded with delegates to the State
Democratic and Liberal Republican
Conventions, which will meet here to
day. It is generally conceded the Con
vention will unite in nominating a Lib
eral Republican 'or Governor, and it is
believed that ex-Governor Koerner will
be nominated, although a strong effort
will be made in behalf of Senator Trum
bull. Neither Convention will probably
do more than organize to-day.
Trenton, June 26, noon. —The Demo
cratic Convention met here to-day. Clias.
Haight, a Greeleyite, was chosen tempo
rary Chairman.
Springfield, Il£. , June 26. —The
Liberal Convention met at noon in the
Hall of Representatives, which was
crowded. Gov. Palmer was chosen tem
porary Chairman.
A letter was read from Sehurz. He
regrets his inability to attend, as he de
sires to address his constituents before
taking part in the compaign elsewhere.
The Convention has his earnest wishes
in its efforts to rally against Grantism.
All elements, North and South, were
united by the inspiring consciousness of
common nationality, rights and duties,
and to accomplish this it is necessary to
break traditional barriers. [Three
cheers for Sehurz. ]
Wentworth moved that the Democratic
Convention be notified, and a committee
appointed to confer with a committco of
their Convention.
The Cincinnati platform was endorsed
amid great enthusiasm.
Adjourned to 3 o’clock.
The Democratic Convention met at
the Opera House, J. C. Allen, temporary
Chairman. He briefly advised concilia
tion, looking to union with another Con
vention.
Cleveland, June 26. — Many delegates
to Thursday’s Convention are already
here. They are almost unanimous for
the ratification of the Cincinnati nomi
nations. It is believed a State tickot
will bo nominated, but the electoral
ticket will bo postponed till after the
Baltimore Convention.
The Liberal Republican State Central
Committee arc hero for consultation.
Many prominent Liberals are present.
They will urge upon the Democratic
Convention a postponement of the nom
ination of a State ticket till after the
Baltimore Convention.
Trenton, June 26. —Governor Ran
dolph, on taking the Chair, said:
‘‘ At this time, when our Demo
cratic brethren in other States scorn
to have become touched with the
fever of political revolution, our ac
tion—ordinarily, discreet, temperate,
and dispassionate—will be looked
to with more than ordinary interest.
In proportion as other States have given
hasty utterances of opinion ami prefor
anees, we should give sober and thought
ful utterances. The Baltimore Conven
tion will be composed of men who have
higher motives than merely to ‘ boat
Grant. ’ These motives will bo to beat a
corrupt and despotic Administration ; a
Chief Magistrate who brought his Worst
military habits of thought and action to
the administration of civil; affairs with
Grantism beaton, wo know no worse can
come and believe better can bo had. That
we shall obtain at Baltimore all wo deem
desirable, does not now seem probable,
unless some unexpected reaction occurs.
The action of the Convention is a fore
gone conclusion. Endorsod at Balti
more, Greeley’s election was assured.
Defeated there, his chances are un
worthy of attention. It is well known
that my judgment has been against the
endorsement of the Cincinnati ticket.”
The Governor proceeded to state the
purpose of tho recent Fifth Avenue Con
ference. Ho claimed that this Conference
was not a fiasco, but a suecoss ; because
it concentrated reliable information as
to tho weakness or strength of tho Cin
cinnati ticket in nearly every State, and
gave a basis for decision ; that no new
ticket could bo now named with politi
cal advantage. I think a more suitable
nomination and a moro acceptable can
didate to tho groat body of Democratic
voters could be found. I know that we
shall be charged with placing our life
long opponent at tho head of our column
in a day of almost assured victory.
All this is true ; but it is equally true
that Greeley will take tho leadership of
the party that meets him after he has
pronounced himself fully in favor of
such old fashioned Domocratio princi
ples as hostility to centralization ; oppo
sition to Federal interference in State and
local affairs ; condemnation of tho sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus ;
full support of amnesty; rigid adherence
to civil service reform ; oppovsition to
bayonet election laws, and the like.
Now, if Greeley can accommodate him
self to such uncompromising Domo
cratio views as those, we can acoept his
conversion, even if it boa trifle sudden
and unexpected.
In conclusion, the Governor said they
had to contemplate the almost certain
endorsement of Greeley at Baltimore,
and with it assured defeat of Grantism
—a great victory of itself, because if
Greeley had no loftier views, no greater
intelligence, than Grant, he would be
powerless, where Grant’s power is almost
without limit. Greeley would be the
occupant of a high office, but his power
to abuse it would be jealously guarded
by both friends and foes. His might be
the place, but the power, with Grant de
feated, will be delegated to the people
and their representatives.
