MARYLAND Democratic Plat
III vi form.

w form.
The following resolution were unan::
imously adopted by, the Maryland
Democratic State Convention in Balti-
more on nThursday - --s- '-'' ''-
We, the representatives of the Dem
ocratic conservative voters of the Stale
State of Maryland, in convention as
sembled, do hereby declare our unfal'
tering devotion to these cardinal prin-
ciples of republican government, enun-
ciated by Thomas jefferson in Ian
guage SO clear that it Cannot be .im-
proved, to wit: Equal and exact JUS
tice to all men, of whatever State or
persuasion, religious or political; the
support of the STATE governments in all
their rights as the most competent ad-
ministration for our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwarks against anti
republican tendencies; the preserva-
ton of the general government in its
whole constitutional vigor as the
sheet.anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad; the supremacy Of the
civil over::the military authority; econ
omy in the public expense, that labor
may be lightly burdened; the honest
paym ent of our debts and the sacred
preservation of the public faith; the
diffusion of information and arrange
ment of all abuses at the bar of public
reason; freedom of religion, freedom
of the person under the protection of
the habeas corpus, and trial by jnries
impartially selected.
Pledged to this creed of political
faith,
We do further ResOlce, That we pro-
test against the burdens of high pro-
tective tariff as needless exactions from
q people already intolerably oppressed
by a gigantic national debt, and that
we insist that the tariff be so regulated
as to provide only sufficient revenue
for general uses, and not for the pur-
pose of enriching the few at the ex-
pense of the many. That We protest
against the multiplication of federal
offices, the assignment to them of unu-
sual high salaries, and the abuse of
federal patronage which tends to dwarf
the State and to corrupt free institu-
tions.
Resolred, That agriculture, manu-
factures ami commerce should be the
equal care of well-regulatcd govern
ments. DISTINCTIONS to and of them
should be removed, but no favoritism
should be extended to either at the ex-
pense of the others. That labor and
capital are mutually dependent, and
equal justice demands that legislation
should as far as practicable harmonic
their conflicts and prevent the one
from depressing or obtaining undue
advantages over the other.
ReSoloed, That VIC protest against
any increase of the circulating curren-
cy, but demand that measures be adop.
ted by Congress which will secure the
resumption of specie payments at the
earliest possible moment.
Resol0ed, That we are opposed to the
granting of subsidies to railroad or
steamship companies, or other mono
poles as unwarrantable in law, corrup-
ting in tendency aud utterly subver-
sive of the principles of good rcpubli.

ged.

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-Coyle, the
American swimmer in the race with John
son, remained unconscious until o'clock
this morning. He then slept and awoke
all right. He says he was dragged by
the brandy which he took few moments
before he became exhausted. He was
feeling splendidly, and felt positive he
could reach Gloucester. He says if he
could have gone twenty minutes longer
he would have won the race, as johnson
was mile and half behind him, and as
he would have soon encountered strong
ebb tide he would have been compelled
to give up. Coyle states his willingness
and anxiety to swim the Englishman at
any time, either for distance of five,
eight or ten miles. johnson admits Coyle
to be the better swimmer und capable of
beating him.

WILMINGTON, DEL. JULY "a. Is7a

WILMINGTON, DEL, JULY "A. 1875:
---7--=
the Eleventh street basin was built a
good many years ago. If any gentle
man will look at it lie will see that build
ing basin is one of the simplest works
possible. .-
Banks are built all along the Della
ware to keep out the immense tides.
They require no engineers skill.
Pudding is another matter Of the
simplest kind. The clay can be selected
by any one. But as general rule some
potter whose business it is to work In
clay is better qualified to select the kind
to be used. Clay may be easily tried in
ordinary vessels, and it Should be tho
roughly tested before it Is used. 1t may
be done by boring holes in the bottoms
of old tubs, then lining the tub with
the clay and filling it with water; if it
does not leak it may be used. Some
clay is so much superior to others that q
coating of a quarter Of an inch will hold
water as securely as coating of an
inch of another kind. But these tests
may be easily made, and of a dozen
varieties at time. The clay must be
properly dampened and carefully ap-
piled. But care must be used in all
kinds Of work as well as basin building.
There is no mystery about it. Every
potter knows that clay mixed with sand
viii not hold water any length of time.
although the mason and the plasterer is
accustomed to bank up the street cutters
with any kind of dirt.
We have some four or five city engi-
neers under salary all the time, and yet
the Council goes out of town to secure
the services Of an engineer. In addi-
tion 10 these we have Mr.. Daniel Farra
and Mr.. R. A. Gilpin, both practical
civil engineers. Mr.. Gilpin had expert
snee on the Croton acquiduct, and Mr..
Fafra has had q large experience in this
city. We would almost be willing to
guarantee that he could build basin
that would stand and hold water as long
- that built by any other man, although
banks It is said by the most experienced
in such matters, are always liable to be
swept away.
Care is required in putting on the
clay, and the man who is most RESPONSE
bic for the work is the one most likely to
give it careful attention. A man may
have clay bank that is worth nothing
70 him. If he can sell it for $4,000 he
can well afford to give half what he
gets away; another may have banl
that is not SO good, he may take less fol
it. Now, man who builds basin BY
the day may yield to temptation but 6
contractor who only gets his money wher
his work is proved is not likely to rur
the risk Of using inferior clay.
The city should buy the clay by con
tract, delivered, and refuse to receive O.
pay for any that will not bear the neces
sary tests.
In building the Eighth street basin goo,
clay was rejected and the basin linet
with clay mix I'd with sand. 1t therefor
leaked for two years and had to lie re
lined with another kind of clay. Thi
made this basin exceed it's proposed cos
very heavily. Unfortunately a membe
OF the Council at that time Sold the cit
the inferior clay. when subsequently th
work was properly contracted for it wa
substantially done.

NATURAL CURIosrTY.-Mr. Paul
Gross has received from q friend
some Of the queerest rodent quad.
rupeds we ever saw in our life.
They are nothing more or less than
the far-famed ground hogs, or more
properly pigs, for they are quite
small, and to watch them is really
an interesting study. They are sleek
and fat and we believe one nicely
broiled would be q dish to gladden.
the heart of an epicure. Mr.. Gross
informs us that there is not another
specimen like them on the Coast,
and has already been offered large
price for them by = party who
wishes to forward them to Wood.

He has also conveniently arranged
them % that any one desiring to see
these curious and interesting an.
imals can do so by calling at his
place Of business, nearly opposite
this office. While watching them

FAIR PLAYA CARD TO THE

A. our fellow citizens we'll know,
the undersigned have been to great
expense in fitting up in proper
shape, and in keeping in operation
constantly, through bad as we'll as
good weather, q line Of passenger
coaches between Silver City and the
railroad station at Gold Hill. No
matter how bad the roads or how
stormy the weather, our. drivers
have faithfully performed their
duties and have kept up q regular
and uninterrupted communication.
From time to time, other parties
have put on q coach 1--WE do not
dignity it by the name of "opposi.
tony with the avowed intention of
drumming us off the line" To this,
recognizing the fact that everyone
who chooses has the right to engage in
the business OF stage driving;we don't
object, and only publish this card to
call particular attention Of the pub
lie to the fact that the parties so loud
in their determination to "run Ben
netts off the road" only run during
Ialr weather ana good roads, haul
ing eff their coach and team during
every storm and season of mud, and
leaving the travelling public to dis
appointment so far as they are con-
cerned. Our coaches run regularly,
in all kinds of weather, making bet,
ter time and offering a greater degree
of comfort than the old rattle trap
which runs semi occasionally, dur
ing fair weather, over the road. We
have given the people a good and
reliable coach line, and shall still
maintain our way of doing business,
We believe we are entitled to the
public patronage under these cir
cumstances, and hereby respectfully
solicit it. All we ask Is fair play
and no favors from other stage men.
