INSPECTIONS.
The National President is satisfied that in
speciions are Of the greatest possible value
when properly conducted. In order to save
travelling expenses to Corps, in Departments
having small contingent fund, the appoint
ment of District Inspectors is recommended.
In Departments having sufficient contingent
fund the National President recommends that
travelling expenses be assumed by Department
Headquarters. in order that the services of the
best officers may he secured.
OFFICERS NATIONAL. DEPARTMENT AND
CORPS.
Provisions have been made in the revised
Rules and Regulations presented to this Con-
vention. Tor the substitution of National

ant Conductor and an Assistant Guard, corre-
spending to the Sergeant Major aud Quarter
master Sergeant in the Post. 1t is we'll under
stood that there are really no duties which
distinctly belong to National or Department
Conductor or Guard, while the services OF a
National and Department Counselor and Ma
tional or Department institutiEg ar d Installing
Officer would be of the greatest possible value
70 each administration. The National C0un-
seior would correspond to the Judge Advocate
General and the National Instituting and In
staiiing Officer co the Chief MASTERING Officer.
In the Departments the same relative rank
would be preserved. Each should be made an
appointive officer by the President.
In large Corps much delay is occasioned by
the amount of work the Conductor is called to
perform. while there are times when it becomes
necessary for the Guard TO leave the room. An
Assistant Conductor aud Assistant Guard should
be provided.

Another ,lisgraceful brawl and drunken
fight occurred in the hotel yard here on
Monday afternoon. about half past six
O'Clock Two drunken men interlered with
Donnelly and Waterman, who were re-
pairingth buggy that was stolen from them
on Saturday. and not desisting when told a
free fight ensued which was participated
in by half dozen persons. \ number of
hard blows We're struck when the proprie-
tor of the hotel at whose bar the two men
had probably bought the rum that crazed
them, came out and endeavored TO hush
matters up One of the drunken men, who
went into the bar-roon after the fight was
thrown or pushed out by the proprietor
from the back door i'll very unceremonious
manner, but fortunately for the individual
who elected him he sustained no serious
injuries No arrests were made and an
other shameful brawl is added to the list
which is made necessary through our first

men who say it is conducive to the public

The fonrfn.

The Fourth Of July passed off about as
anticipated. The morning salute was
fred after which all spent the day at will
until afternoon. when the base ball match
between the Tioga's. of Philadelphia, and
the Woodstown club attracted between
800 and 400 people Ia the field of Jos. F..
Ballinger, on the Auburn road The game
was holly contested. At first the odds
We're greatly in favor of the visiting club,
but the Woodstown boys gradually crept
up on their opponents and at the close of
the Sth inning, at which it was agreed to
close the game To enable the fioga tn get
away ON the train. the score stood q to ) in
favor of the home club. At the close Of
the game a respectable audience large
portion seated in carriages in the street,
gathered to hear the exercises in front OF
the Presbyterian Church, and listen to the
fine music of the Mosacsa Cornet Band,
of Pedrcktown. During the after
noon successful balloon ascension was
made from Cobb's store, the balloon being
of paper about 30 feet in circumference
and inflated by heated air. In the evening
another was set off about s o'clock which
was very successful. 1t took a course
nearly due north, until about over the
centre of the town, when it Steered off to
the eastward and faded from sight, at a
height at which the burning mass attached
seemed like little star. One of the bal
looms was picked up the next day on the
farm of John Shute, near Harrisonville,
Gloucester county At sunset another
salute of thirteen guns was fired and
about S.45 the display of fireworks
advertised was set off in the presence
of a large gathering and to the mu-
sic of two brass bands the Salem
Baud having made a trip over to Woods
town toward evening to see the Fourth.
The streets We're crowded in the evening.
| There was plenty of drunkenness, in one
ease resulting in bloody conflict between
an intoxicated individual whom Marshal
! Duffy was conveying To the lookup, and
who in his efforts to resist arrest dealt the
Marshal an ugly blow with his fist, which
salntation Duffy responded to with his
mace and finally succeeded in lamling his
prisoner in the lookup. Another arrest
| for drunkenness, a young man from
Sharptown. was made during the evening
and the Marshals We're kept busy in main
tanning order. II a crowd and big noise
