DEATH or PROMINENT hAHTL NhDEIts.---
Ex-Gov Grason died at his late residence in
Queen Annc's county, on Thu STAY, the I'd
inst, in the SD year Of his age. Hcwas the
first Governor ever elected by Tie people oi
this State Prior 70 his election 10 / t. G,-
bernatorial chair in 1888, lie had served i'll
both branches of the State Legislature. lilo
was Democrat in politics, and legislator OF
more than ordinary ability. After the eyli-
ration of his term as Governor, lie retired TO
his farm in Queen Anne's county, and not
long afterwards, the people of that county
again elected him to the State Senate. After
serving out his term as Senator he partially
retired from public life He was an upright
man; honorable, faithful and fearless in the
discharge of every duty which devolved up
on him through . long life.
On Friday ot last week, the Hon. James
C. Magraw Chief Judge of the Orphans
Court of Baltimore county, died at his resi-
dence near Lutherville, in that county in
the Goth year of his age. The Baltimore San
of Saturday in recording his death says:
Mr.. M. was struck down some two months
ago with apoplectic symptoms, and though
rallying somewhat afterwards, has never been
able since to leave his home. He is the third
of three well-known brothers who have died
within the past two years or so from SINH
lar visitation. Few men in-his sphere were
more esteemed than Mr.. Magraw, he being q
man of generous and kindly impulses andac-
lnowledged high integrity Of character. In
early life he was q teacher, at one time post
master at Cumberland, in this State, and for
number of years before and during the war
was extensively engaged in the forwarding
business in this city, over the Northern Cen
trail and Pennsylvania railroads For the
past few years he had retired from more ac-
tive pursuits, inlulging his taste for rural
life; but the people of his neighborhood de-
string his services as an Orphans Court
Judge, he accepted the nomination and was
chosen at the last general election by 50 full
vote as to indicate general acquiescence.

Tao Democratic National Con-
cehttOn.
LAaoE AfrEsDANcs,

The National Democratic Convention met
in New York, on the Fourth of July. The at
tendance was unusually large, and the ar
rangements for the accommodation of the
Delegates and others were complete. AS to
the arrangements, and the appearance of
Tammany Hall, the kilograms of the 4th in
slant say:
The new Tammany Hall is admirably ar
ranged for the meeting of the Democratic
Convention. 1t is elegantly festooned with
large American flags and decorated with elab-
orately painted escutcheons of all the States.
The accommodation for the delegates Is
ample The arrangements for the press are
excellent. excepting that the committee re-
fuse admission to the Associated Press mes
sengers to receive reports.
The weather is intensely hot, but the hall
is perfectly ventilated. Among the specta-
tors are many ladies; also Francis p. Blair,
Senator Patterson of Tennessee, ex-senator
Bayard, and many men prominent in South
ern politics before the war, and also Govern
ors Swami aud Bowie, of Maryland.
The hall and galleries are densely crowded.
There is great crowd outside yainly striving
to gain admittance. There is a strong police
force at the doors and in the street, to keep
the road open and preserve good order.
The convention was called to order at
twelve minutes past twelve o'clock by Au-
gust Belmont, Esq, the chairman of the ma
tional democratic committee, who welcomed
the delegates in an able and patriotic speech
The Convention was temporarily organized
by the selection of the Hon. Henry S. Palm
er, of Wisconsin, as temporary chairman, and
after the appointment of committees on per-
mancnt organization, resolutions, &C., the
Convention adjourned until Monday morn
ing, the 9th, at 10 o'clock.
ASSEMBLING OF THIS CONVENTION
At ten o'clock Tammany Hall was crowd
ed TO suffocation, and presented, with its gay
and gorgeous decorations, a splendid spec
tacle
The police arrangements Of Saturday were
inadequate to keep back the surging crowd,
which so blocked up the passage to Tam
many Hall that the delegates and reporters
had much difficulty in securing an en-
trance.
The Convention was called to order at
quarter before eleven o'clock by the tempo
rary Chairman, Hon. Henry s. Palmer, of
Wisconsin, and the proceedings were opened
with prayer

SEVERE SToRM.-We are informed, that on
Tuesday last, about o'clock in the afternoon,
portion of the upper part of this county
was visited with one ofthe most severe storms
which has passed over that section Of the
county for many years. The lightning and
thunder is represented as terrific, and the
rain of the heaviest character. Meadows and
fields were flooded in few minutes after the
storm commenced At 9 o'clock, P. NJ, the
same neighborhood was visited by a second
heavy rain, but with less thunder and light
ming. During the afternoon storm, Mr.. Mar
tin Colder had valuable OK killed by the
lightning We have heard of no other dam
age done by the storm, but it is hardly likely
that this is all that was done.

that he was nominated late yesterday after

HARVEST farmers are now in the
midst of their harvest. We have heard some
little complaint Of weevil as well as rust,
but, upon inquiry, we arc inclined to think
that the wheat in this county has suffered but
little from either. Within the last day or
two we have inquired of persons from vari-
Gus parts of the county, and VIC cannot find
that the wheat has been damaged in any part
of the county to any great extent Indeed,
on the contrary, we have heard numerous
good judges speak of the wheat crop, as much
above the average. The grain is said to be
plump and heavy, and the heads well filed.
There never was, perhaps in this county a
better season for hay, or larger crop raised
ON the same number Of acres.

Importance or Organization.

To show our readers why the white
men Of the State should be thorough
~ organized into Democratic Clubs,
to prevent frauds in the next election,
We give them the following from an
exchange:
"The most Infamous frauds were
perpetrated in many counties at the
Arkansas election. AT Clarksyille,
for instance, ninety-nine votes were
returned against the Constitution
since then the afiidayits Of one hun
dred and eighty have been taken Of
those who voted against it. One OF
the registrars is known to have voted
twice, and was seen to tear up Con-
servative tickets from the military
ballot box. Negroes were permitted
to vote two or three times, and even
negro women appeared, dressed in
mems clothes, and deposited votes
This is probably the longest stride
toward female suffrage that has beer
taken on the continent. The Arkan'
sas Gazette contains general and spe
cifc charges Of fraud, and substanti
stes them by numbers Of afhdavits
Men who voted the Radical ticke
were not required to present thei
certificates, while Conservatives wer'
in several instances prevented fron
voting when they had certificates
Negro boys not half grown were al
lowed to vote, and then take the oatl
afterwards at another window. Tn
negroes boasted that they had vote
by the ha,ful, and that IL they coul
not ''beat 'em dat way dey could dwhi
! EN-" They literally voted earlyan
voted often. Everything that ha
J wool voted with The utmost unanin
ity, and as ofleu as be or she please'
