SYRACUSE, N. Y, September 15.-Large
numbers of delegates and prominent poll
ticians have already arrived to attend the
Democratic Convention, and the prospects
are that there will be one of the largest and
most exciting conventions ever held. The
hotels are thronged, and the interest is in
creasing. The sentiment is strongly in
favor of standing by Tilden, though there
is an undercurrent of opposition, and an
entirely new ticket will probably be nomi-
mated, though strong effort will be made
to secure the denomination of Attorney
General Pratt. 1t is reported this afternoon
that John Bigelow, of the Governors Canal
Commission, has consented to accept place
on the ticket. There will be bitter fight
between the Morrissay and Kelley delega-
tions, from New York. The two Albany
delegations have been on hand since yester-
day, and urging their claims upon delegates.
The State Commission meets this evening.
The Governors Canal Commission is repre-
sented here by the Hon. D. Magone, who is
delegate, and by John Van Buren, Esq.
There is much discussion as to the financial
plank of the platform, there being differ
ence of opinion as to positions. The Con-
yention will probably take stand in favor
of hard money.

President CARROTS address to the Directors
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the
monthly meeting on Wednesday is published.
Notwithstanding the decreased freight and pas
senger tariffs. the earnings for May OF this year
are nearly hundred thousand dollars larger
than during the same month OF 1874. Mr..
Garrett devotes considerable portion OF his
address to review of the value and condition
of the western extensions of the road, partlcli-
larly the Chicago line, the Pittsburg aud Con
ncllsvile branch, and the Marietta and Clucln-
uati division, all Of which are IN hrst-class Or
der and transacting a heavy business. MIR.
Garrett shows that the company refused to put
out half million of its paper that was asked
for by leading New York banking house.
Some small AMOUNT Of obligation is out at three
per cent, but there is nothing in the situation
to warrant the impression that the company is
under the necessity Of going on The market to
obtain money. It's cash surplus is ample for
all its needs at this time. The Directors uuani-
mously resolved to sustain Mr.. Garrett. The
Baltimore American says: "We have it stated
authoritatively that ouy so late as Monday last
Mr.. Garrett was offered loan of two millions
at 44 per cent, which he declined simply be-
cause the company did not need it,

HARVESTING The Fredericksburg Herald
says some OF our farmers expect to be n the

days. The late rains are regarded as proplti-
Gus. Nearly all Of the wheat bad lost its bloom

and since The dry weather that preceded
the rains 80 toughened the wheat stalk that
there is not the usual fear felt OF rust which
ordeal the crop has generally to pass through

Whilst a good deal Of wheat was killed during
the winter, still we hsve fair reports as 10

will be good IF no calamity overtakes the crop
