THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION

There is now no doubt that the National
Convention at Philadelphia. August 18th,
will have delegates from every State in
the Union. 1t will be emphatically and IN
mistakably Union Convention. Some con-
servative Republicans and Democrats who
have heretofore hesitated to act because they
feared that the presence Of politicians OF the
' aliandIgham stripe, would interfere with the
harmony OF the convention. are now coming
promptly forward to its support; realizing
that the country can be preserved and the
Union maintained only by concerted action on
part Of all Who support the restoration poll
icy of the PrsV..ent. In the call for that con-
yention there are two points that all true pa
triots can endorse, no matter what have been
their predictions. These are:
The Union of the States is in every case
indlssoluble, and Is perpetual: and the Consti-
tuition OF the United States and the aws passed
by Congress In pursuance thereof, supreme
and constant, and universal IN their obliga-
ton.
Slavery is abolished, and neither can or
ought TO he re-established in any State or Ter
rity within our jurisdiction"
Is not the fact that the excluded southern
States send delegates to the Convention under
this call hopeful signl That delegates who
sympaihize with treason, and believe in the
divinity of slavery, will claim admission we
have no doubt but that they will find them
selves as powerless the radical extreme in
trying TO control a convention assembled to
rescue the Constitution and the Union from
the perils resulting from the reckless course OF
the political demagogues whs would rule or
ruin, We firmly believe.

THE CROPS

Hon Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agri
culture, in his report for the present quarter,
says:
Il am happy IN congratulating the country
upon the prospect OF a year of average fruit
1uIness. Wheat the bread crop OF the coun-
Try, was In 1-65 less in quantity and in quality
than IN 1864. Much of the seed used last au !.
tumn was ofinferior quality, producing plants
OF low vitality, and the winter following wa
IN most districts variable, freezing and tina W.
ing, with little snow ano much moisture. and
10 add 10 the chances against the life Of the
plants, the spring was cold, with frequent and
severe freezing. This was the case partIcu
Early In the Ohio valley, and TO some extent
throughout the country east Of the Mississippi
But the States west OF that river promise an
unusually abundant crop Of superior quality
The nne weather Of the later spring and eariy
summer has wonderfully developed the re
manning grain of the injured districts There
mas been an unusual exemption from rayages
OF insect tribes: neither rusts nor storms have
done II material injury; and now, If it es capes
sproutlng nom wet weather. the promise is of
a crop nearly as large as last year and far
better In quality. The present indications, as
marked by our thousands of correspondents
point TO an average OF aboutSK tenths in GUAM
In value 10 last years crop.
'-Oats and potatoes were both planted in en-.
larged breadth, and both promise abundant
crops Oats are particularly heavy.
-Pastures are about the average in condI-
ton; clover fields q little below

EQUALIZATION OF BoUNrIrs

The extraordinary appendage to the miscel.
ianeous appropriation bill, known as the "bil,
for the Equalization Of Bounties," but which
would be more consistently named il it were
entitled "a bill granting one hundred dollars
additional bounty to certain volunteers and for
other purposes,"i is just now a subject of mu ID
inquiry and comment. Remarkable discre.
pancies appear in the act as published; some
journals making its benefits apply to such de.
ceased soldiers, only. who died while in ser
vice, Of wounds, or disease contracted whilst
in the service some extending its application
to those, also, who. after having been dis
charged, died Of wounds contracted whilst in
service, and others give in the first section,
April 10Th, 1861. as the period at which service
should begin to entitle claimants TO the ad.
ditional bounty; while in the second section it
is stated as April 1ith. 1861. By one paper the
term Of service necessary to entitIe the claim.
ant 10 the provisions Of the act, is given as
not less than three years in the first section and
not less than two years in the second section
while by another, 1t Is represented as apply,
Ing to all those who have served less than
three, and less than two years.
We learn that the first section o the act pro.
vides that one hundred dollars additional
bounty shall be paid to those volunteers who
have enlisted since April 10Th 1861, have served
full three years, and have already been paid
one hundred dollars bounty; to those Of the
above class who have been honerably dis.
charged for wounds, and to the heirs of those
who died in the service Of wounds or disease
contracted In the service.
The second section is totally imperative, as
it applies to not single soldier who has served
IN the army. There was bounty Of $50 au-
thorized by act Of March Sd, 1853. to be paid to
such Of the volunteers who had served nine
months or less, provided they re.eAlisted for
one year IN regiment from the same State,
upon any future requisition Of the President
tor militia, but the section does not apply to
this class because the service is lees than two
years. No other class Of volunteers or militia
were ever entitled, or were ever paid q bounty
Of $50, and, consequently not one cent can b
expended under the second section OF the act
