Unfortunately, heavy rain and thlIn-

tics was satiated.
Among the members of the pennsylya-
MIA delegation, We were glad to meet with
a son of the Old North State, z. Fl. Win
ston, Jr., Of BERTHE, now citizen of Penn
sylvania, i'll which State he has achieved
success and position, but has not forgotten
the land Of his birth and affections.
This morning the city is gradually re-
covering its ordinary business aspect. The
delegates and visitors who crowded the
streets and hotels are rapidly scattering

received, and will help to accelerate the
work Of redemption from Radical rule.
The city of Baltimore is rapidly growing
in population, trade and prosperity.-
Among its many noble institutions is one
which should be patronized liberally by
the people of the South. 1t is the School
OF Medicine of the University of MARYLAND.
1t is Southern Institution. whose Profes-
sors are unsurpassed in ability and repu-
tation. Among the most eminent of them
is Dr.. Julian j. Chisholm, of South Caro-
lima, Professor of Operative Surgery-es-
pecially distinguished for his success in the
treatment Of diseases Of tho eye and ear.
and whose skilful hand has afforded relief
to several of our Wilmington people. Tie
Doctor has just purchased large mansion
containing thirty chambers, designed for ii
private lnii.mary, i'll which lis patients
from a distance may have, while under his
care, the comfort and quiet which they
need SO much. Why should our people
send their SONS TO New York and Phila-
de!phia for their medical education, when
they can secure, at less cost, quite as COM
plete and perfect instruction with the cliui-
cal advantages afforded by d population of
four hundred thousand souls, among a
people i'll sympathy with us, and i'll city
whose moral and social atmosphere is so
greatly preferable III every respect TO that

to levy taxes to pay the villainous carpet

<onsGiGutIonaI Reforms

The chief thing that recommends to
popular iavor the Biz OF amendments pro-
posed by the last Legislature, is the fact
that if the bill shall be passed BY the re-
q;ired vote ia tho next Legislature, the
changes thereby guaranteed i'll the Constl-
tuition of the State viii bring about so
much relief to that large class OF our people
who have only small portion OF this
worlti's goods. The class Of people to be
especially benefited by the proposed alter
ations in the Constitution is The laboring
claso-that class OF people who literally
earn their daily bread by the sweat of their
brows. Men who are possessed of large
capital, no matter whether i'll lands or
money or bonds or other resources, are
generally better able, to say the least of it,
to take care of themselves than poor men,
whose only stock i'll trade consists Of their
skill and muscle and brain. We repeat
that it is TO this latter portion of our citi-
zens that the proposed amendments make
the strongest appeal for support. B..
To prove this assertion we need Onl 10
refer TO one OF the changes proposed, and
in commenting upon this amendment We
cannot do better than TO transfer TO our
columns the remarks of the Ashevile Cdizc1a
in relation thereto. Ia. l..-, -.- L. ."-

Radical Senator Cook, from Johnston

a desperate named McLindsay, who would
raise company that ''would give Cover
nor Holden no trouble, for that if any of
the men arrested by him undertook any
resistance he would kill them or they would
be lost and never be heard of again )" and
