MARYLAND DEMOCRACY.
Meeting OF the State Convention aG Bal

cation Yes.

BALTIMORE July 2l.-The Democratic
State convention organized by the Sc
lection Of Stevenson Archer as tempo
rsry chairman. After discussion 0!
four hours as to the admission of city
delegates, it was decided to admit them
by a vote of siXty-four to fOTty-five.
This was a test vote, and regarded as
favorable to Carroll. The friends OF
Hamilton opposed the admission Of the
city delegation, alleging irregulsrity and
injustice in their selection and appoint
ment. A committee on credentials was
appointed, and the convention adjourned
to seven o'clock this evening.
The convention assembled at seven
o'clock, but the committee on creden-
tials not yet being ready to report, was
not called to order until nearly ten
o'clock, when the committee submitted
a majority and minority report, the ma
jOrity report recommending the admis-
sion of the entire city delegation claim
ing seats, and the minority report re-
commencing the admission of three of
the Hamilton delegates, from the sixth,
eighteenth and nineteenth wards re-
spectively.
On motion to substitute the minority
for the majority report, a discussion en-
sued which, at this hour, half-past
eleven o'clock tonight, is still progress
ing. The immense hall, floor and galle-
ries are packed, and the discussion ex-
cited, but the best temper prevails.
At quarter to twelve o'clock mo.
tion to adjourn to ten o'clock tomorrow
was Iost-yess So, nays 73. The minor
ity report was laid on the table, and the
majority report adopted by vote of SO
to 48. From this time to one o'clock a
system Of fillibusteriDg was kept up by
the friends OF Hamilton, and is still 60
ing on.

SARATOGA, July 21.-In the bankers

Thomas s. M'GreW, of Springfield,
Illinois, offered the following:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
this convention that an act to provide
for the resumption of specie payment,
approved January IA, 1875, ought to be
amended so as to provide for the grad
usl contraction OF all legal-tender ciTcu.
lation, and the time of resumption be
extended to the first of January, 1885,
so as to change without the sudden fall
OF general prices.
McGrew spoke at some length in IA
vOr of his resolution. The committed
resolutions were adopted, and time and
place Of next annual meeting referred.

NATIONAL COTTON CONGRESS-.
Second Days LRbOr-HO Report ISf
from Ihe Committee On Perma-
aent other
Business Discussed.

GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUB
SPRINGS, July 2l.-The National cotton
exchange convention met this morning
at eleven O'Clock, President John Phelps,
OF New Orleans in the chsiT The presi-
dent made a short opening speech, in
which he reminded the members OF the
encOmiums that had been passed upon
the working of the convention last year
at Augusta, aud hoped the present ses-
sion would be distinguished by similar
absence of talk. He informed the con
vention that the committee on perma-
nent organization was actively at work,
but would not be able to report until to-
morrow; in the meantime they would
hear from the committees appointed on
interesting topics suggested by differ
ent exchanges in the country.
The report OF the executive committee
Of New Orleans on crop reports was then
read by the secretary. 1t detailed the
following facts: Circulars, requesting
full information, had been sent to all the
cotton and wooden mills both north and
south; the latter had sent full answers,
but the formers responses were not sat-
isfactOry. The COMMITTEES dispatched
Hester, their superintendent, and Mr..
Buck, of New Orleans, to various points
on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to
check the overland movement Of cotton
nOrthward, Through the very thorough
manner in which these gentlemen ac-
cOmplished their Ouerous task, the COM
mittee hoped to have positive data with
regard to cotton sent north. Com
bining this special information with full
returns Of southern consumption from
the mills, and with figures Of the re-
ceipts at the various ports, they would
be enabled to present in their September
statement showing of the crops which
should be thorough and reliable.
At the conclusion of the reading this
preliminary report was received with
cheers. Committees were then appoint
ed upon the subjects presented by the
various exchanges. Some reported de-
tails most Insignificant in character,
while others were deeply important.
Among the latter were reports upon an
attempt to secure the adoption OF an
American standard of classification in
England and throughout Europe; also
to establish a board OF arbitration in
Liverpool, composed Of salaried experts,
for the settlement of controversies dur
ing the sales Of cotton. Interesting de-
bates are expected upon these and other
topics to be brought before the conven-
ton. A majority Of other matters pre-
sented by the exchanges refer to points,
the details of which are of little import

GOvEEKORALLEs's GREAT SPEECH

GOVERNOR ALLES's GREAT SPEECH
AS the currency question is an sb-
sorbing issue before the people, and as
there is much interest felt in the con-
test in Ohio, we publish this morning
the opening Of the gubernstorlsl cam
psign, at Gsllipolis, yesterday, with
synopsis OF Mr.. Pendleton's speech;
also the speech Of Governor Allen, at
Newark, last Saturday. This speech
will go to the country with 8
clear and logical array OF facts. We
believe it to he unanswerable. We are
OF the opinion that the south will con-
cur in the position OF Governor Allen
on the currency question. She is sadly
ia debt, and any contraction Of the
currency would certainly prove irjuri-
Gus to the debtor class. 1t is certainly
true that "infiation made the northern
merchants and manufacturers rich, and
they are trying now, by contraction, to
make themselves richer. How was it,
and how is il with the southern people?
We have had no initiation here. Our
people have been plodding along with
the hope that the policy OF the Federal
government would relieve them. But it
has not been so. The money mills Of
Wall street have continued to grind the
industries Of the whole country until
the injurious effect is not only felt all
through the south, but until the people
are asking among themselves whether
they are TO be chained down as slaves or
allowed TO breathe as free people in
free country once more" The south
wants more greenbscks, because she has
not currency commensurate with the
demands Of her recupersting trade. She
feels the want OF it to-day; and while
she charges the chief blame on the party
in power at Washington, she has the
common sense to perceive that there are
prOfessed friends at the north who are
also working against her. The truth is
that there is an immense influence at
the north which is guided by money
considerations alone, regardless Of party,
regardless Of political principle, regard
less Of everything but the monetary in
terests of Wall street and its dependents.
But read the speech Of Governor Allen
on this important question.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.
New HaRket, East Tennessee, Has her
Masonic Temple and Osher Build
ings Blown Down
Trees UPFOOted, Fenciag swept Away,
Crops Damaged and the Conn
tFy Inundated.

Under date of July 18th, the New
Market correspondent Cf the Knoxville
Chronicle writes as follows: On last
night our place was visited by one of the
most terrific storms within the recollec-
ton of the ''oldest inhabitant." The
clouds gathered in the west, and diYid-
ing, q portion passed north and portion
south of us. All supposed the storm
had passed, and the clouds had spent
their force, but not so. The current OF
wind changing, brought the clouds
again from the north, accom- anied by
heavy wind, hail and torrent Of rain,
lasting for about one hour and a half.
The result may be briefly summed up
"thusly:" Large ponds Of water resem-
bling lakes on q small scale formed all
over the couRtry, covering gardens and
growing crops Of corn. Lost Creek was
higher than ever known to be, nOtwita-
standing the high wster-msrks OF the
floods of last spring. Corn crops
were blown down, and fencing
tumbled about generally. Trees,
both forest and fruit, were up
rooted. Two or three trees in the yard
of General Brazelton were blown across
the house, but without damage to the
building; and about thirty other trees
were blown down in his yard. Many
shade trees along the main street were
blown down. One small frame house
in Hammond's addition wss blown
from the foundation; one or two bsrns
unToofed, and the Masonic hall, build
ing thirty by sixty feet, in an unfinished
condition, was blown down, presenting
q complete mass OF broken material.
The buildings connected with steam
saw-mill, recently erected by Messrs.
Bunch & White, were completely de-
molished. Corn and other crops were
riddled by the hail and so blown down
that, where large snd well advanced N
growth, cannot make over one-thlTd OF
q crop. The ost and wheat crop yet in
shock in the fields have received AN
other SHOCK" and being greatly dam
aged by the recent rains, the prospect
for securing them from the damage OF
the storm of last night, go SIS to keep
the crop, save seed oats and have good
wheat cake, is rather diminished.
Persons in from the country report
heavy rainfall and some wind, but the
greatest fury Of the storm seems to have
been let loose in New Market and inn
mediate vicinity. The crops are gen.
orally exposed by the amount Of fencing
blown down, and farmers have rolled up
their sleeves and "waded in" to repair
the damages. We have become a con-
vert to Professor Tice's theory and come
to the conclusion that the "Venusian
equinox" is upon US, and doing the work
predicted by him. One third Of the
month Of July is yet to come, and more
rain and wind and storms for July, &C.
cording io the professor, and it remains
/ to be seen whether the month Of August
is to give US the earthquakes predicted
by him. "Let us prepare for the worst
/ and hope for the bsst."

stimulate enterprise by the prospect Of
gain; labor more and spend less. The
great want OF the country is an entire
freedom for labor; removal Of every
obstacle; the presence of every aid for
prices. Steady markets and ready sales
are aid, and to secure these q sufficient
and sound .curTency and low interest
are Indispensable. If these be super
added by low taxes, rigid economy and
simplicity of government and purity OF
administration, that nation will be con-
tinued and accelerated.

ton and beggary in the city to comfortable
independence in the country.
1t behooves our laboring white popula'
lation to think seriously of the generous
offer thus made. They are now fighting
an unequal battle. The negroes can un-
derbid them both here and in the country
as day laborers, and the cheapest labor
will certainly obtain the employment.
AS farmers on their own account, the whites
will always, owing to their superior energy,
thrift and intelligence, be able to maintain
themselves in q position where no rivalry
from the negro race can reach them. Az
day laborers, competition is impossible on
their part. There are Thousands of posi-
tions in the city where certain amount
of intelligence ia required in connection
with manual exertion, and white men will
always be preferred in such employme
but those situations being once filed, re-
naming white labor will find a better place
on the farm.

The Farm

The hard times are bearing heavily on
multitudes of our people resident in the
city who cannot get employment. Does it
never occur to them that every able bodied
man can make first-rate living for himself
and family on farm. Not only 80, but he
can make it much more easily than in the
city, even if he could get employment here.
The life of the farmer is probably the most
independent of all. He looks to no man for
employment; he hires himself and pays
himself. He has not to curry favor with
politicians or officials or bosses of any kind
or with any thing else except, perchance,
one or two mules. He need not stand
around for an hour or two of q morning,
waiting for employment, but he can just
step into the field or garden and 60 to work
as early as he pleases. Then, if he will only
J the grass out, he is made man.
But where is the farm9 How is he COINS

Masonic Religion.

AS appears from clipping which will be
found elsewhere, there is quite stir being
made by some English Free Masons over
the fact that one Bradlaugh, an English
agitator, was received by Boston Masons
as belonging to the Order. 1t appears that
this individual is notorious 1nfidel, and
certain spoony Masons are green enough to
believe that Free Masonry recognizes the
existence of Gods In fact, numbers of them
in this country hold and state publicly that
no one can belong to the Order who does
not believe in God. They claim, indeed,
that it is q kind of o religion in itself.
Now upon such innocent green horns
comes a fact like the case of Bradlaugh'
as a very cold shower bath. 1t cannot be
controverted. Bradlaugh is a most pro,
nounced opponent of the idea of Gods ex-
istence. All the world, it appears, that
knew Bradlaugh knew that fact, and yet
he was a recognized Mason of an English
Lodge and remained so until the recent &C
cession Of the Prince of Wales as Grand
Master, when he left the Lodge.
1t is only in Protestant countries that
parties calling themselves Cnrlstlans are
found in the Order. In France, Italy
Spain, etc, Free Mason is identical with
an Infidel-an Atheist. When men band
themselves together in open, undisguised
hatred of Christianity, they call themselvei
! Free Masons. And it is not only at Christ
ianity that they scott, but at all reli
gion, at the very idea of worship, the yer!
thought of Deity. In this country, in Eng
land, in all Protestant countries, thes
same Infidel Masons are recognized as dea
brothers by good Protestant Masons, VIII
claim that Masonry is a religion.
The fact is, Professionalism is not 80 niue
offended at the denial of Gods existence q
it is at the assertion of authority in h
Church.
