HurI icL's Camp.
FORMATION OF CAMP MEETING UNION.


On the 22d inst, a meeting Of the managers
OF Hurlock's Camp Meeting was held on the
ground, and Camp Meeting Union was formed
of Dorchester and adj lcsnt counties. The OBJ
ject of the Union is TO 0bviate the necessity for
30 many camp meetings, attended as they ne
csssariy are with vast amount of labor and
expense, and interfering to very great extent
with the agricultural interests of the people.
For want Of a concentration of Church strength,
it is claimed that camp meetings fail, in man
ner, to accomplish what would otherwise be done
under a union such as the Que framed.
The Association will be known as "Hurlock's 4
Union Camp Meeting" and it's meeting will be
annual
The temporal control Of the meeting is lodged
in Board of Managers, four fifth of whom
shall be members Of the church, which Board
of Managers shall be elected annually by the
Tentholders for the next ensuing Camp Meeting.
Tho Board shall elect its own officers C all its
own meetings, appoint its own committees, and
decide the time Of holdiuy the Camp Meetings

Two Rnr,ncntIon Meetings n, Dover.

Two anonymous calls for Greeley and Brown
ratification meeting at Dover, on next Tuesday,
have been issued, both bearing the evidence that
they were put out by the "Pollies" The Sauls-
bury regulars have now cOuntered on this move
meut by calling for a ratification meeting, also
at Dover on August 18th, at the same time as
the State Convention. The Deiu0drtdH ignores
the former, and calls special attention to the
latter, aud leads its readers to suppose no other
has been called, while the AdDertiser of this
city and the Smyrna IcUigcnCer vigorously
cali the faithful to meet at their meeting, and
say nothing Of the Othur.
The speakers announced, at each meeting,
also show how the two factions are led and oili-
cered. The Pollies announce for next Tuesday
Ex-Mayor Yaux, Of Philadelphia; Col. Mcclure,
(Hho won't be there, of course) Col. W. q.
Whteey, John O'Byrne, Ohas. NJ Cullen, Jas.
Il. Booth, Joseph VI. Barr, and Col. Fisk Town
send. The Salisbury regulars announce an et-
tirely different set including Senator Eli sauls-
bury, Congressman Biggs, Hon. Chas. Brown,
Attorney General Lore John b. Pennington j.
Alexander FultOn, and James l.. Wolcott.
From these demonstrations, it will he seen
that the New Daparturists and "Pollies" are
making vigorous efforts to seize the control OF
the regular machine and overret the saulzburys.
Each faction will hold its own meeting and ralfy
Greeley Il Brown after it's own fashion. The
COMMERCIAL will be there to see.

The manifesto OF the woman suffragists in

have appointed over three hundred to Office
since l have been here, and should have ap-
pointed many more il had had more influence
with this administration; but the truth is NOM
bers OF Congress generally have some political
friend they want to put luto the post Offices or
other vacant positions. 1t has been with the
greatest difficulty that l could make these ap-
pOiutInens over their heads. A point of inter
est in this matter ID the fact that out Of all the
women that l nave appointed, but one has
proved unworthy OF the trust and she was a
chronic detauter; she would not render her ac-
counts without the greatest difficulty to the Post
Office Department and, when forced to do so
her friends would come to the rescue and make
up the deficiency, 30 that the government was
never the loser but at last We were compelled
10 dismiss her. Another woman was, however
put in her place This is the only instance of
the kind, Ihey have proved better officers, Ill
some respects, than men, for the reason that
they give their undivided attention to IL while
men, on the contrary especially il the Office be
a small one, do not attend to it themselves, but
give 1t over to the care OF a clerk. think, too,
many OF the offices iu the departments could be
gwen to them. Who're they are capable of fill
ing them, they should be given to women in
preference to men. The work is easy, light and
every way suitable for them. and it Is right that
they should have them. This has been my view
from the trst, aud, as l remarked before,
should have appointed many more, and to more
important places, had l had sufficient influence
with the administration"
