Maryland Nominations for Congress.

In Maryland, the Republicans held their Con-
gressional nomination. no Thursday. In the First
district eastern Shore Henry R. Torbert, Esq.
of Elkton, the candidate in 1868 was nominated
In the 4th District, (Western Maryland,) Judge
John E. Smith, of Carroll County, was named
In the Fifth District, (Southern Maryland) the
candidate is James A. Gary, of Howard County,
and in the Second, (Harford and Baltimore
Counties, and part of Baltimore City, VIM. NJ.
Marine, Esq, was nominated In the Third
District, there WAS a quarrel, resulting i'll great
confusion between the friends of General Adam
L. King, and those of r. Stockett Matthews,
after which the Convention adjourned to
September 18th.
The candidates in the 4th and 9th districts are
said to be exceptionally strong. Judge Smith,
the Baltimore american says, is man of
"undoubted ability, sterling integrity, unwaver-
"ing Republcanism, and true grit" lie was
on the State ticket as an elector for Grant and
Colfax, and made brilliant canvass. Mr.. Gary
is a we'll known native and citizen of Howard
County, staunch Union man, since the first
outbreak of the conflict, and il of the largest
manufacturers in Maryland conducting extensive
cotton mills at Alberton. He was the first to
introduce the ten-hour system in his State, and
is 30 popular in his district, that the Democratic
organ of Howard county, the Times, says "we
"cannot conceive of severer blow to the
:" Democrats than the nomination of our popular
friend James Albert Gary as the Republican
candidate for Congress"
The quarrel in the Third District dissipates,
we presume, all possibility of SUCCESS there, and

OUR CITYs PROSPERITY AND THE CITY
ELECTION.

We call the attention of every citizen of Will
mington to the city election, on Tuesday next.
1t is a matter Of the deepest importance to all,
that the best men should be chosen to adminis-
ter our city affairs, and that the policy upon
which they act shall be intelligent, liberal, and
well-conceived The city dare not be mean and
short-sghted in it's policy, for the interests at
stake, involving our growth and prosperity, for
bid it, and nothing would be so greatly to the in
jury Of every taxpayer in Wilmington as
to stop short in the judicious work of
development, and improvement. Where penny
would be saved in taxation,a dollar would
be lost, to every mcdaniel by the dearth of stea-
dy and profitable employment, and tens of dollars
to every property-holder, in the absence of ap-
preciated values.
Now we ask further attention to the undeni-
able fact, that during the five years since the
war, Wilmington has grown and prospered as
never before. Her population has increased
since 1865, beyond all precedent. A greater
number of houses, (employing every kind of
skilled mechanics, as well laborers, have been
built than ever before. Our manufacturing in
dustres are developing their capacity, requiring
new artisans and workmen, Of every description,
and new establishments are growing up on every
hand. Throughout all the country, our city is
attaining an enviable reputation, and we do not
believe there is city of our class in the Atlantic
States in so excellent and encouraging situa-
sion.
Are these not facts2 We challenge denial.
We will prove them. if need be, by men who do
not see with u.s. in politics. We will summon
such witnesses as James Bradford, Francis Barry.
Jesse Sharp, or G. p Johnson, who, however
they may vote, or however they may feel called
upon to declaim in their newspapers, well know
the truth, that Wilmington, to-day is an creep
iionaly prosperous city. In private life, and
upon occasions of social intercourse, we have
heard none bear more distinct and willing test-
mony to the excellent standing of the city's
credit and finances, than Mr.. Sharpe, and we
have the authority Of Mr.. Johnson's editorial
utterance, (see the Gazette of july for the
statement that:
ave do not wish persons living abroad to fall
"into the error Of aupposing our taxes are
"higher than in neighboring cities. Such is not
"uie case"
The credit of Wilmingtons six per cent. bonds
is at par, while presumably excellent securities
at seven per cent, are offered daily over our
brokers' counters, at So. The bonds of this city
are sold at one hundred cents on the dollar
while the bonds of the State of Delaware can
with difficulty be disposed of at from six to ten
per cent discount. This favorable condition is
significant fact. 1t proves volumes. No cor
rupt ill-managed, or shattered city government,
with depleted treasury, and oppressed Taxpayers,
can keep its six per cent. bonds at par in the
market. Wilmington's justly excellent credit
shows that the people have confidence in her
soundness and integrity. And well they may
have.

TILE CONVENTION AT READING, wEDSEsD

TILE CONVENTION AT READING, WEDNESDAY.
The Convention of delegates, from the Minor
ity Republican Counties of Pennsylvania, met
at Reading, Wednesday. A large proportion Of
counties were represented. The following gentle
men were chosen permanent oficers:-
President George Lear. of Bucks county.
Vice Presidents W. Geer, of Schuylkill !;
Gen. VIM. Lilly, Of Carbon; A. W. Fuller, of
Westmoreland; Hon. VIM NJ. Hester, of Berlss !;
A. ]. Fry, of York Frederick Dittman, Of Phil
adelphia; G. II. Jadwin of Wayne.
Secretaries. Joseph Ritner, of Cumberland ;
Morgan H. Wills, of Montgomery; L. ]. More,
of Lehigh; J. W. Wood, of Northampton Ben
jamin L. Berry, of Philadelphia.
The main business of the Convention consist
ed in the adoption of series of resolutions, of
which the following are the most important
Resolued, That the practice which has grown
up in the Legislature of Pennsylvania of sub
mittiug all matters of local legislation to the
elusive control of local representatives has prac-
tcally placed the local political and business in
terests of minority constituencies, requiring leg
islation, at the mercy of majority local represen-
tatives, and has offered such continued series
of wrongs and potty expressions as loudly call
for REFORM
Resolred, That we can conceive of no other
remedy for such wrong and oppression except a
system which will secure to each local minority,
as near as can be, its proportional share Of local
Resolued. That such minority representation
will not only remedy the wrongs of which we
more especially complain, but will also tend to
lessen unjust and illiberal craftsmanship, and to
promote greater purity in Legislation
Resolucd, That fair and proportionate repre-
sentation of minorities by districts is not only
just but is in accord with the spirit of all our
State political systems, which provide for the
election of legislators by districts, i'll order to
protect the minority at large from the unjust
domination of the majority, as well as to guard
the interests of localities, and which we pro-
pose to supplement by placing the local minority
beyond the reach of the unjust domination of
the local majority.
Resolued, That in view OF the taking OF the
census, and the approaching legislative reappor-
tionment of the State, we recommend the pas
sage of Acts of Assembly by the next Legsla-
ture, embodying the principles of minority rep
resentation in reference to boards of county
commissioners, directors of the poor, and county
auditors, as well as township and other officers.
Resolra, That we recommend the passage of
an act of Assembly providing for a constitutional
convention to be composed of members elected
on the principle and to such convention in maxi
ing the many constitutional reforms so loudly
demanded for years, We respectfully recommend
that the principles of minority representation be
embodied in tho new constitution of Pennsylva-
