awe are happy to learn that The prospect
of an abundant crop Of wheat and other
grain never was more promising. No,wilh-
standing the lnclement weather of the last

any could'expect. There will be. no doubt,
plenteous harvest throughout, for The farm
CIR this year."
The Cumberland (Md.) Civilian, of Fri

'The continued cold weather has kept
back the budding Of the fruit trees and saved
that crop from injury so far. The prospect
of the wheat crop this spring is quite prom
ising."
The Catoclin (Md.) Wing also says:
"The wheat crop throughout our Valley
wears good and healthy appearance. Al
all events, we hear of no complsints''
The Winchester Republican says that The
prospect for bounliful peach crop IS still
very good in that section. gentleman
who has an extensive orchard, informs the
editor that but liule injury has been inflicted
by the severe weather.

that might reach the public conscience of
the majority, that they might feel that the

good faith, must be maintained in good faith,
or That they who cut the cords of its moral
power, are the disunonists; and that one
encroachment and nsnrpa,ion after another
can never be justified, much less form d
platform for lawful, unlimited popular des,
polism. But, Mr.. Bennett, have no idea
that any propositions which can state will
have any effect upon n orthern majority.
The South have done with propositions
Their only redress, now, is to resist the very
first encroachmenl that is made upon the
constitution, or to violate their rights under
It. II seems 10 be generally believed opin-

There was flare up in the Senate Of the
United States on Wednesday las. between
Messrs. Benton and Foo,e. The former
left his seat and proceeded toward the lat

Of attacking him. Foote, believing Benton
meant to shoot or stab him, drew a pistol,
at which stage Of the affair, several Senators
interlered and prevented mischief. The
Senate appointed committee to investigate
the matter. MIR. Benton has written a lei
ter to the District Attorney, which is dated
Thursday last, enclosing a copy of a city
newspaper, with certain passages marked,
detailing the circumstances attending this
affair and inviting judicial proceedings a.

The EDITORIAL CoNvENT1oN.-We were
present at the Convention of Mar yland Ed-
tors, which assembled in Baltimore CITY on
the 18Th and 10Th instant, and it gives us
pleasure to bear testimony to the harmony
and good feeling which marked every step
in the proceedings of that body. There
was goodly number present, representing
almost every section Of our State. We
cannot but believe that the action of the
Convention will have beneficial bearing
upon the interests of the press and the public
1t will not be in our power to give the pro-
ceedings of this Convention until next
week. The following remarks are from the
Baltimore American
The Convention Of the Editors of the
State Of Maryland, which assembled in this
city on Monday and Tuesday, will be pro-
duc,ive Of excellent results, both TO them
selves and the public. Their proceedings
throughout were dignified and although
the body was comprised of members of both
political parties, feeling of harmony and
unity of purpose prevailed, which cannot
fail to have happy influence. The prnci-
pal ends in view were TO break down series
Of long standing abuses, which destroy the
influence Of the press and humlliate the
profession and 10 relieve themselves from
onerous demands on their time and labor.
which, from long usage, have grown into
serious evils, and in many cases nsupport-
able burdens. That ''lhe laborer is worthy
of his hire" is truth which all will admit:
and there is no reason why editors and pub
fishers should form an exception TO this rule.
If the results at which the Convention ar
rived and the rules laid down for their fu-
lure course be carried out, they will be
enabled TO do justice 10 themselves, and
amply repay the community by increased
industry, energy and enterprise. The Con-
vention adjourned to meet again in this city
in October next, when it is hoped every
newspaper in the State will be represented.
