~The immigration Convention assem-

The immigration Convention assem-
bled, pursuant to notice, at Raine's Hall, in
Baltimore, on Tuesday last There was a
full attendance of delegates from the city of
Baltimore and most Of the counties. Two re-
solutions were offered and adopted. The first
authorizes the appointment of committee to
issue an address to the people on the subject
Of encouraging immigration and otherwise de-
veloping the resources of the State. Under
the second committee of three from the city
of Baltimore and one from each county was
appointed to memorabilia the next Legisla-
ture in favor of appropriating the sum Of two
hundred thousand dollars, to be expended in
furtheripg the objects of the Convention
The formation Of County Associations to CO.
Operate with the central organization-the
'International Immigrant Union" of Balti-
more-was recommended by the business
committee, and the report adopted by the Con-
ventiou. The proceedings throughout evinced
great harmony. All political reference was
ignored, and but one spirit seemed to prevail,
that Of promoting, in the best manner posi-
BILE, the great objects for which the Conven-
ton had assembled. We are unable. for want
of time and space, to refer more fully to the
labors Of the Convention. In our next, how
ever, we shall give detailed account of the
proceedings, believing that the great interest
our people take in the move and its univer-
sally admitted importance and bearing upon
our interests, both individual and collective,
will fully justify our action. ~ .'.,' r
While upon this subject we would remind
our readers that the adjourned meeting Of our
citizens takes place in Port Tobacco on Tues
day next, the Goth instant. We hope there
will be full attendance on that day, as the
business of forming County Immigrant AS
ISOLATION will then come up for consideration.
Let our people remember that this is subject
affecting their most vital interests, and that
the time has now come when it is imperative
ly necessary that we should awake from the
ethargy which has heretofore shrouded us
and make an effort we hope united one) te
better our present condition. We should re-
member that we in the past have done abso-
lutely nothing to attract immigration here
while 10 our sister States from the moment 9!
the closing Of the war the subject attracted
attention, and organizations, both State and
local, were formed aud every effort made t.
bring public attention to the advantages both
OF soil and climate, and other inducement.
offered by their respective localities. Now
tAie..--...'..'s'.'<'vs' nopcf VIII De sEconc:
ed by the united cooperation of our people
The subject is fruitful one, and we nigh,
say much more upon it but we feel that e.
nough has been said to attract earnest and
calm reflection from those of our citizens who
are s1licitous to advance their own interests
and that Of the community in which they re-
side. Let US, then, we repeat, have full

DEATH OF BISHOP THoMPsoN.-BishoI
Thompson, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, died at the Grant House, in
this city yesterday of typhoid pneumo'
mia. Bishop Thompson was taken sick
on bis arrival in this city after the ad'
journment of Conference, over which he
presided, at Charleston, and the disease
which terminated his life, it is thought,
was caused by exposure on the trip and
at the new capital He was man OF
great requirements, ard one of the
most pleasant and gentlemanly we have
ever met. He was formerly President
of the Ohio Wesleyan College, at Della
ware, Ohio, aud the news of his death
will fill many hearts in Central Ohio
with sadness. He was native of Eng
land, we believe, and about sixty years
old at the time of his death. His wife
was telegraphsd to at Evanston, ILL.,,
where the Bishop held the position OF
President of the college there and where
his family resided, but the news of his
sickness failed to reach Mrs. Thompson
in time to have her with him before he
died. His departure was peaceful and
he died with words Of hope and cheer
upon his lips. All that loving hands
and skillful physicians could do was
done for him, by our citizens, and espe
cially by the members of his OWE
church.

INDIGNATION MEETING.
The COlOred Voter of Richie
Township i'm Council.
The Resolutions Adopted

In the Intelligencer of Monday Sc
ries of resolutions were published passed
by q Meeting of colored citizens, held at
tue Court House one evening last week,
wherein the Republican party is en-
dorssd, and the vote of the colored pee-
pie of this county pledged to that party.
That this action does not bind all the
colored voters of the county is evil
denced by the following, taken from the
minutes OF meeting of the entire eel
cred VOTER of Richie township, held
at the City Hall in South Wheeling
last night:
At meeting of the colored voter of
Richie township, Mr.. Lee was called TO
the chair and Frank Lee elected Secre-
tary.
The chair stated the object of the
meeting to be the passage of resolutions
repudiating the action of the meeting
held in the Court House of Wheeling
by lot of niggers who wished to SET
themselves up as leaders aud to impose
themselves on the white folks as speak
ing for al the colored people of the
county.
F. Lee, Esq, offered the following:
Resolred, That this meeting, COM
posed Of the only colored voter IN
Richie township, knowing that the De-
mocracy had always been true to the
interest Of the laboring man, can, with
more confidence, intrust the interests OF
tho colored people in the hands of the
Democracy, which is party of acts,
than to Republicanism, which Is a
party of words.
Resolred, That this meeting will give
its undivided and unanimous support 10
the Democratic party.
Resolred, That this meeting Is justly
indignant at the attempt on the part OF
the meeting held in the Court House To
speak fer all the colored people of this
county, when it didn't know enough to
speak for itself.
Resolred, That the chairman and sec
rotary of this meating be authorized to
treat the committee on Resolutions.
In response to repeated calls, Mr.. Lee
spoke in favor of the passage of the
resolutions. He was followed by Frank
Lee, and +. Lee, Esq, when the resolu-
tions were adopted sine die.
After three rousing cheers for the Of
ficers, the meeting adjourned Seriatim.

RUNAwAY.-We are firmly of the
opinion that when horse undertakes
to make fool of himself, no animal ex-
cept man can do it more successfully.
This was evidenced yesterday at the La
Belle Mill. A steed that has heretofore
borne q high reputation for steadyness
took 1t into his pate to runaway.
And pretty mess be made
of it. After striking pretty
lively gait down La Belle avenue he
struck an ascending cart and came to a
dead halt. No sooner was he released
than away he started again, and wound
up the performance by. falling on bis
back in the mud. We never saw a
horse look more thoroughly ashamed OF
himself than he did, with his coat all
muddy and soil enough for corner lot
in his ears.
