The Baltimore Convention.

The Los Angeles (California) Daily Er. press, of the 10th and Huh inst, contain pretty full reports of the proceedings of tn. National Democratic Convention, which met at Baltimore on the 9th inst, and ended its labOrs on the 10th instant, by nominating Horace Greeley, for President, and B. Gratz Brown, for Vice President. l The Convention was called to order by August Belmont, Chairman National Demo cratic Central Committee, who made speech in which he eulogized the action of Liberal Republicans and the platform they had made. | He then spoke of prediction he had made that General Grants rule would be charac- terized as the rule of the bayonet, and asked if the prediction had not been verified. His speech was we'll received.
 Rising again, Belmont presented the name of Thomas J. Randolph, of Virginia. for temporary President, remarking that Mir. Randolph was a grandson of Thomas Jeffer- son, author of the Declaration of Inde- pendence.
 Mir. Randolph, who is nearly 100 years of age, was escorted to the seat of honor, amidst the widest applause. Ex-SenatOr Dooittle was soon after elect ed permanent President, and made an address which brought forth tremendous applause. It was then found that every State and Territory was represented, when, after the usual preliminary business was transacted, the Convention adjourned. The Convention reassembled again at 10 o'clock, July 1O.-The Committee on Resolu- lions recommended the adoption of resolu- tions adopted by the Liberal Republican Con l vention at Cincinnati. After some debate, they were adopted by 662 to 70.
 On balloting for Presidential candidate, the fiist ballot resulted as follows:
 Greeley, 6S6; James Bayard, of Delaware, Is; Jere S. Black, of Pennsylvania, 2l; Groesbeck, of Ohio, 2.
 Mir. Wallace, of Pennsy lvania, moved to make the nomination of Greeley unanimous, which was carried amid wild cheering and playing of bands.
 For Vice President, B. Gratz Brown rece- we'd 7l3 votes, and Stevenson, of Kentucky, 6. The nomination of Brown was made unanimous.
 A resolution was adopted that the Conven- tion upon adjourning, escort the New York and Missouri delegates with music. The usu- al vote of thanks was passed, and the Con- vention at 1:30 P. M. adjourned sine di.
 Side Scenes.
 There was some difference of opinion about adopting the Cincinnati resolutions. Delaware at first cast her entire vote against Greeley.
 Gov. Hoffman, of New York, presented petition from 15,0OO Germans of his State, promising great German support to Greeley
 Brick Pomeroy made fierce assault upon Horace.
 Brick and other Bolters are to hold another Convention at Louisville, Kentucky, August Sd. And so, as the MINER predict ed, several weeks aga, Grant and Greeley are now pitted against each other.

More Mail Service.

Thanks to the un,iring efforts of oul Delegate in Congress,-R. c. Mccormick, - Postmaster General CresswelI advertses fol proposals for carrying mail matter over th. route, between Hardyville, on the Colorado River, (ria Mineral Park, in the Wallapa mining District), and Prescott.
 This is good news, and, in behalf of the citizens of the Territory, the MINER thanks every person who has labored for the cstab. lishrnent of this much needed mail service
 LArER.-Since "typing the foregoing. Col Bigelow received letter from Mir. McCor. mick, stating that service upon the route be- tween Arizona City and HardyviIle has been increased to twice week. Good.

immediate beginning. The San Francisco Chronicle says: "Now, will Horton and Tom Scott he kind enough to begin the work One spadeful of dirt, one tie, one spike, any thing will suit us 50 long as the thing is once begun"
 The feeling expressed is very natural, and we join in it and shall be glad to hear that a force of laborers is placed at work on the San Diego end.
 The San Diego Union, with its chronic jealousy of San Francisco, does not wish to see the Atlantic and Pacific road built, makes fun of the efforts making to unite with St. Louis in building the road, advises the abandonment of the project and the con struction of coast road from San Francisco to San Diego, and declares that the present end of the Atlantic and Pacific road at Vlnita, is likely to be the permanent terminus, for the reason that the Indians will not consent that the road shall be built across Indian Territory.
 The report of Col. Tom Scott, President of tbe Texas and Pacific Company, made May 20, is an interesting document and gives a very encouraging statement of the prospects of the company for money making, and closes by declaring the intention of the Board of Directors to press the work as rapidly as can be done. We hope to live long enough to sec the road completed and to ride over it, but expect to see the Atlantic and Pacific finished at least five years before that time, and to see the winter travel across the con- tinent, rushing along fifty miles north of Prescott, on the track of the Atlantic and Pacific, five years before the Texas and Pa cific reaches the Colorado river. Yet, we are not prejudiced, and do not intend that these remarks shall be considered as reflect ing on the merits of the harbOr at San Diego.

General Towards Report.

In is with great satisfaction we percieve that General Howard still sticks to the right, in speaking of, and dealing with, Military and Indian affairs in this Territory. Here is the latest we have seen from the General |:
 WAsHINaroN, July 6.-General Howard. in bis report to the Secretary of the Interior of his oper atiops in Arizona; says he believes that General Crook should have large discretion. He recon mends that his order relieving Crook from the operation of the telegram which suspended hos iilties against the Indians who refuse to obey the orders of the Government be confirmed, and that the hands of the Department Commander be strepgthend by allowing hiT number Of mech auics and laborers, so that his soldiers shall be able to perform the duties of soldiers.

head and body, was found dead in front oi the dance-house of George Bertrand At the inquest, before Nj. P. Griffin, Coroner, the jury brought in verdict, s That the deceased came to his death from the blows of a. knife, in the hands of one Jose Maria Robles, alia, Trigenio." Robles was examined before Judge Young, in the afternoon, and was com mitted for trial.
 It appears that the murder was entirely unprovoked, as the deceased, a cripple, had gone out unarmed, and laid down, evidently to sleep, perhaps drunk, when the prisoner came up and hacked him to pieces.
 On Tuesday afternoon, an assault and bat tery was committed m public street The assailant then went before Judge Griffin, confessed judgment, paid his fine and entered a complaint against his antagonist for two slight stahs received in the action.
 On Wednesday afternoon, some party stole Jacob Denslinger's blankets from his house. The same night, two of his best horses were taken, and no clue left of the robbers.
 During the week, man had head put on him at East Phoenix.
 Last week, Mir. "yng was fined 800 and costs, for damages committed by his stock on the ranch of c. H. Gray.

supplemental Resolutions.

Resolued, That in the opinion of this Conven-
ton Congress should provide for such an extern
sion of the powers of the Federal courts, as to
protect all rights and secure prompt remedies for
all wrongs in the States lately in rebellion, where
the partisan character of the local courts, or the
inadequacy OF their power, fails to secure pro-
lection to any portion of the people.
ResOlued, That we are in favor of an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
providing for the election of President, Vice
President, and Senators, directly by the people,
and far as possible for such direct election OF

Resolped, That this Convention earnestly re
commends the establishment of a free National
University in the city of Washington TO utilize
the immense educational material now collected
there; such University to be supported from the
proceeds of sales of the public lands.
Resolved, That cheap communication by mail
Is one of the most precious interests of the peo-
pie, and we call upon Congress to perfect our
present excellent system by adding there to the
Postal Telegraph, thus securing the vast benefits
of telegraphic communication to all.
WHEREAS it is of immense commercial irnpor-
lance to the people of the United States that a
public highway be established for cheap trans
portation of freights between the people OF
the West and the Atlantic seaboard; therefore,

"OLD PRoB.--A Popular Delusion
Dispelled.-The idea which may be enter
famed by some that the weather prognos-
acations sent out by the signal office daily
are really made by certain old gentleman
deeply versed in meteorological lore, and to
whom the irreverent appellation of "Old
Probabilities" properly belongs is alto
gether fallacious. If that name belongs to
any one in particular, it ought, perhaps, to
attach to General Albert j. Myer, the
Chief signal officer, under whose
general direction weather predictions
IRE made--all except the "Old,"
Which does not apply. General Myer,
however, has no direct agency in compiling
NE daily reports, that work being assigned
|eo three ntlemen-Lieutenan Robert
craig, of the United States army, and Pro-
lessons Cleveland Able and Thompson b.
aorey--who alternate in making the daily
meteorological forecasts. None of these
gentlemen are old men. Lieutenant Craig
graduate of West Point, and is about
'swenty-eight years of age Professor
Able, who was formerly director of the
Olncinnati observatory, is but thirty-five,
and Professor Morey, who was few years
yo president Of Kentucky college, is about
ne same age. The professors have noconnec-
Ilon with the military service, but are SIM
ply employed to aid in compiling the re-
ports. All of these gentlemen are enthu-
SaStic meteorologists, and were selected
with special view to their peculiar quail
siSSatons for the positions which they now

snd that the public is indebted for the daily
weather reports printed in the press to three
young men, all of whom, as we have be-
