THEC. & 0. CANAL-A meeting was held

THE G.. & O. CANAL.-A meeting was held
a, cumberland last night to select delegates
:, the canal convention at Syracuse and to
a.yss some means for the resusctation and
preservation of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal 1t is said that the present year, with
three mouths of the shipping season cut en-
,irey out by the strike of the coal miners, it
i believed the canal will earn its current
EXPENSES. A fairly good traffic is carried
now. and twenty boats Il day are loaded
hv the company, which IL nearly AZ much as
,he boat facilities can accommodate. The
rrpnils of the big break ut dam No. and
other damages from the freshets in the
spriny we're extraordinary expenses, but the
sn,uI!er breaks, it il claimed, can be repaired
ont of the current receipts. Thousands Of
dollars are disbursed monthly in Cumber
land and on the line of the canal in wages
10 canal employees. boatmen, for supplies,
&c. Estimates place these monthly disburse-
m, nts at SO. 900 to $4,000 now, and they
hare in the flush times OF the canal been up
to $50 600 and more.
Delegates 10 the Syracuse convention were
chosen, aud several stirring speeches were
made.
Mr., J. w. Thomas rcciled what the
caunl had done. and referred to the time
when il had employed Two thousand five
hundred men and two thousand mules when
six boat yard. were in operation and its
IMPORTANCE was felt from the coal fields of
Allegheny to Georgetown. This state OF af
fairs he said, continued until the cana! came
under the baleful influence Of politics, and
business went down, and the canal went TO
where it now is. Is is now football on
the fairgrounds of politics. He mentioned
the plans su .gest, d 80 put it where it was
brf,re one 10 nsk the Federal government
far help, the other 10 ark the State to make
it froe.waler why. He urged al appeal
to the State, aud said that practical eugn.
GERS were convinced that the canal could
bo lnads TO pay.
Mr.. George l.. Wellington spoke earuts'-
" in favor of the free canal plan, aid
strenuously opposed the sale Of tho canal
TO any syndicate or railroad cooperation.
As long as the canal remains open IL will
be checkmate to railroad pools anu
freight combiua ions. When the Ches
peake and Ohio Canal goes down Cumber.
land will follow soon. This is not the first
dark day the canal has seen and pulled
through. 1t will not do to surrender its
franchises to any corporation. When you
place it in the hands of railroad you sur
render yourselves into the hands Of the en-
envy.
Col. L. Victor Baughman gave brief his
tory of the canal. and said the present man
agtment was doing all in its power to put
the canal Oh solid financial basis.
The canal board will meet in Cumberland
next Tuesday to ascertain the cost OF the
recent freshets, and to hear the report of
the convention.

initiation for Gen. Lee is now acknowledged

little doubt that Mr.. Frank Hume will carry

venton he labored under the disadvantage
of being unk uown to many of the delegates,
but in the past ten days he has gained many
friends aud added greatly to his political
strength. He is now the only man among
those heretofore mentioned on whom q
combination can be made. Lee Is surely
