BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

Special dispatch to the LEDGER
BALTIMORE, July 8, IL m.-The Con-
ventionis now in session. Thomas JEFF
ferson Randolph has been elected Chair,
man pro TEN. The prospects are that
Greeley and Brown will be nominated as
the candidates for President and Vice
President on the first ballot and that the
nomination will subsequently be made
unanimous.
August Belmont, after complaining
bitterly Of the treatment he had re-
ceived, resigned his position as Chair
man of the National Committee. He
spoke warmly in favor of Greeley, and
denounced Grant, and then called
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Of Virginia,
to the temporary Craftsmanship.

The unfortunate condition Of affairs
ia France is strikingly portrayed by n.
Emile oliver, who says despairingly:
THE striking feature of the political
situation is this: The question is no
longer one of liberty, ola parliamentary
system, Of choice between dynasties.
At home the question is whether our
civilization shall be devoured by the
barbarians, Of whom Lamartine and
Toequeville prophesied; abroad the
question is whether France is to be
broken up, and to disappear like those
islands which have been suddenly s=s!
lowed up by the sea with their towns and
inhabitants. At home we have the army
of spoilaiion and devastation in process
Of organization; abroad that Of invasion
and dismemberment 1t is of these
things we ought always to be thinking
and it is Of them that no one thinks. II
is the madness Of despair. In solitude
We see things much more clearly than
in g crowd. May God protect US and
raise up among US some great citizen, or
We are lost" 81

COST OF pYRorEcHEIc PATRIOTISM.

A statisticiaR has been counting up
the cost Of the late Fourth Of July cele-
bration. The United States imported
this year l67 500 boxes Of 6reersckers,
costing, in China, say seyenty-fve cents
per box. Adding freight, exchange, etc,
the cost here is about S2.l5 per box to
importers, for which the consumers
pay $3.50 per box, so that people pay for
their explosive luxuries in 1872 the sum
Of 1856, 900. Seven large establishments
in the United States are engaged in the
manufacture of fireworks; capital en-
ployed, $4,000, and the value Of goods
produced this year is estimated at $780,
600. One hundred million torpedoes
have been made in 1872. costing five
cents per hundred, or $50, 900. 1t would
be quite safe to estimate the value Of
the compounds shot away last Thursday
at one million Of dollars. The expenses
Of conAagrations, wounds and other
casualties incident to pyrotechnic pa
triotism cannot, Of course, be estimated.

SEATTLE CoAL.--Coal from Seattle is
being largely shipped to San Francisco.
The Company expect to supply that
market regularly, running about 1870
tons a day to their wharf at Seattle
The coal. like that from Coos Bay, is a
favorite article there, and begins to en-
ter largely into local consumption. By
the cargo, it brings $11 per ton. Dur
ing the half year beginning Jan. 1st
and ending June 30th, the ports to
San Francisco were 5;552 tons. The
Company have now under charter seven
vessels to take cargoes to San Francisco
They are the barkentine Powhattan, to
take $50 tons bark Osmyn. 500 tons
bark Scotland. $50 tons bark Gem OF
the Ocean, l. $50 tons bark Jenny Pitts,
$50 tons bark Windward, 1900 tons
barkentine Harrison, 500 tons--aggregat-
ing a total carrying capacity of $500
tons. One of the vessel is loaded and
has sailed F.; four are on the way up from
San Francisco, and two are now at Seat
tie loading. 1t is expected that the yield
of coal from this new mine during the
year 1872 will be fully 10000 tons, and
that next year that quantity will be in
creased one-half and perhaps doubled.
