CITY INTELLWENCE.

INDEPENDENT CoYvENTroN.-An adjourned meet
ing of the Independent Convention was held at Re-
chabite Hall, on Saturday night last. Geo. w. Da-
Wis in the chair, and n. Robinson and j. 7. Kirby,
Secretaries.
The President called the Convention to order
when the Secretary proceeded to call the wards all
of which, with the exception of the llth, 18th,
l4th and 10TH were represented. The proceedings
of the previous meeting were read and approved.
j. &. w. Marriott, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, reported that the committee had pro-
vided for the printing and proper distribution of
600 tickets.
Col. Pind6ll. Of the Finance Committee, reported
that sufficient funds were in possession of the
mittee to meet all the expenses accrung in conduct
ing the campaign.
Mr. Coburn felt determined. as he knew all the
friends of the movement did, to conduct this cam
pSgn with energy and spirit He believed they
would be successful in eecting Col. Shut and with
that election there would be an end to misrue. If,
however their efforts should fail and the ticket be
defeated, it would be for the disorganza-
tion of the Independent party. There would be a
time when the citizens would awaken to a of
the dangers by which they surrounded and
the causes which produced them. The continued
nomination of Independent, unprcjudiccd and honest
men, would sooner or later command the cOmmen-
daton and support of the citizens of Baltimore,
and he therefore rose to offer the following notion
''That, when this Convention adiourns for the
last time previous to the coming election it adOurns
to meet on the lst Thursday of May next, or soon
err if deemed necessary by the President" He
proposed this motion because he thought it neces-
sary that the Independent party should commence
the campaign of 80 with redOubled energy, and he
felt confident it would meet the appreciation of the
Convention.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
1t was here announced that it would be imposs-
BILE to have the use of Rechabite Hall on Monday
and Tuesday evenings, as it was engaged by other
parties.
j. 7. Kirby moved the appointment of a commit
tee to consult with the proprietor of the Reban
Hall, to whether that room could be secured for
the of the Convention on Monday and Tuesday
nights.
Col. Pindell moved as substitute for the motion
of Mr.. Kirby, "that Mr.. Coburn be appointed a
committee of one to a room for the use of
the Convention, and that the President be author
lied to call the Convention together at such place
as may be secured, by advertisement in The Daily
Erchange, San, and Gipper.' Adopted.
Mr.. Marriott stated that at the previous meeting
a motion had been made that an address be issued
to the citizens of Baltimore which the Convention
had refused to adopt. Since the last meeting he
had conversed on the subject with many members of
the Convention, one of whom had placed in his
hands address, which, by permission of the Con-
vcntion, he would read
Leave being granted, Mr.. Marriott proceeded to
read the address, which will be found elsewhere in
the columns of this paper and on concluding, j.
T. Kirby moved "that the address be published in
The Daily Exchange, Sun and Clipper, on Monday
and Tuesday"
Mr.. Marriott moved to amend the motion by add
ing the German Correspondent to the foregoing list;
and with this amendment the resolution was
adopted.
On motion, the Convention adjourned to meet at
the call of the President.
