Time Of Meeting Of the Democratic State
Convention.

Convention.
| We alluded some time since, to what We
| considered baEd policy, in postponing The
! meeline Of the late Democratic State conven-
tion, from June until August, and then sug-
gested the idea that the party was more for.
tunais when il held It's conventions on the
4ih of March. This view OF the matter
seems 10 be that entertained by many 9th.
ers throughout The State, and il is 10 be
hoped thai the proper authority in the prem
ises will give the subject that due attention
which its importance demands. The Phil
adelphia Age, of the 26ih inst, says
Several conespondents-some of them
members of The Democratic State Central
CommiItee-urge the return of the Demo-
cratic party 20 the old practice OF holding
their STATE Conventions on the Alb of March.
The suggestion is worthy at least OF con-
sderation. However men may differ as 10
the arguments for and against postpone
ment that have been presented from time 10
time, it will be conceded that the postpone
menis brought with them no solid advan-
rages 10 the party in the contests which
followed. They did not procure greater
harmony aud enthusiasm, nor disarm the
bitter opposition Of the opponents of DEM
ocratic men and measures, nor stimulate
The masses of the Democracy 10 increased
zealand activity in perlecling an organiza-
lion by which voters could be brought 20 the
polls. None of these results have followed

candidates. Our own opinion is in favor of

holding State Conventions"
II the Convention is called on the 4lh OF
March, it will give ample time for organiz-
ing the party and presenting and discuss

for the Convention and a short campaign
has been tried in The last two Stale elections.
and the result is known. We do not pre-
tend to say that postponing the time for the
meeting of the Convention was the cause oil
the defeat of the Democratic party, but
certainly no good was accomplished, while
toe brief space was le!t for the canvass

Donation at SedgWick.

On the evening OF Jan. 18Th, larg,
number OF people, OVERLOOKING with deed,
of love and words OF kindness. met at the
parsonage of the first Baptist Church i'll
Sedgwick, 70 pay a donation visit to their
pastor ana his family. Without eXasgera-
;ioa it may be said that the occasion wa
one worthy OF the past history Of this ex-
cnpl;ry people.
The amount of kindness which We have
received from our friends in this place Ia,
not been small, neither haze the occasions
which they have improved to manifest
their generosity been few.
Bat this donation was especially crafty
.ng to Us on account of the pressure which
We had felt in consequence OF ihe increas-
Cd expenses of living.
Among the presents were set Of fur,
and cloak for The PASTORS wife. These
were very acceptable, and, we trust, duly
appreciated.
The pastor received $40 in money, and
many articles, (ror himself and family
which We're as good as money.
The whole donation amounted to Sl63.
Towards the elose of the evenings Ell
teryiew, PRAYER was offered by the pastor
followed by few remarks. Several short
but interesting speeches were made by in-
diyiduals present. The company then I'M
tied in singing, and soon after took then
departure. The evening seemed to be one
of enjoyment to all concerned, and We
feel sure that its good influence will be OF
long continuance.
To all churches who may read this, we
would say, think on your pastors and their
families, for god, and ''go and do ike
'cise.'
To our friends, for their kindness at
this and at other times, We tender oul
thanks and pray that they may ever en-
joy the Divine blessing.

THE QUorA AND THE CREDITs.-Pro-
vost Marshal General Fry has written a
long letter in reply to some inquiries made
by Gov. Miller of Minnesota respecting
the last call for men. In concluding it, he
gives his rule for applying credits and an
example under it. He says:-
1.-The rule in applying credits is, that
they should be deducted from the quota
of the call that produced them. All men
raised since the call of July Is, 1864, are
credited upon the quota under that call :;
il the quota is more than filed tits carried
as excess to the credit OF the locality. and
taken into account in the assignment Of
the quota under the call of Dec 10, 1861.
and provost marshals arc instructed, that
III determining the quotas of sub distTcts
under the present call they will apply
such excess accordingly; and MI men
raised since Dee. 10, are of course credited
upon the call of that. In credi.ing the
excess that is carried forward from the call
of July Is. 1864. and applied to the call
Of Dec. 10, 1861, consider not only the
number Of men of which the excess il
composed, but also the period of their ser
vice; and the quotas assigned under the
call of Dec 49, are thus reduced by this
excess of service, and hence they should
not be further reduced, except by enlist
ments subsequent to Dec. 10, 1861, the
date of the call for 3030,0 600 men.
The credits to the State of Minnesota
(under the call OF July Is, 1861 show
