4 the imc0, Ntiu Blaomficltt, Mo, NEW BLOOMFIELD, TENN'A. Tueadny, July 16, 1872. The Baltimore Convention. (Jreclcy and Mr own the Candidates. On Tuesday last in company with sovoral others of our citizens we wont to Baltimore to be present at the tnoeting of the Nation al Democralio Convention. The Conven tion was held in Ford's Opera House, which was crowdod to its utmost capacity, al though nono were admitted except they were provided with tickets. 1 The Convention was called to ordor by Mr. Belmont at noon, and was organized by the selection of Hon. Jefferson Randolph of Virginia as Chairman. After the appoint ment of committees on credentials, and permanent organization, the Convention adjourned until 4 o'clock. At that hour the committocs roportod, having selected Hon. J. R. Doollttao of Wisconsin as per manent President, and he was conducted to the chair, and made a speech of boiuo length. A committee on resolutions and a National executive committee were thon appointed and tho Convention adjourned until Wed nesday at 10 A. M. On Wednesday morn ing tho committee on Platform reported the resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention and recommended their adoption. These resolutions our readers aro familiar Hwith, ns they have been previously published in The Times. For an hour a warm discussion was had on this recommendation, when a vote on tho question was taken by States, result ing in tho adoption of tho report of tho committee by a vote of 070 ayes to 03 noes. A vote in the same manner was then ta ken on the Candidate for President of tho United States. Tho result of tho first bal lot was as follows: Horace Greoley of New York 086; T. A. Bayard of Delaware 15; J, 8. Black of Pcnn'a 21; W. G. Groesbeck of Ohio 2; blank 2. On motion of Senator Wallace of Pcnn'a tho vote was thon made unanimous. Hon. B. Gratz Brown of, Missouri was unanimously selected os tho candidate for Vico President, and after the appointment of a committee to notify tho candidates of their nomination, the convention adjourned. Although tho crowd at Baltimore was very great, tho proceedings of tho Conven tion were remarkably harmonious, and tho nomination was greeted with groat enthusi asm. The Democratic party in the ensuing Pres idential Campaign come before the country with tho same ticket and tho same platform as that brought out by the Liberal Repub licans at Cincinnati, and the Republican party having made their nominations, tho campaign is now open, and the two tickets aie before tho people, lor their indorse roent. We trust that a desire for tho election of the best men, rather than partizan prej udice, will control each voter in his action at the ballot box. Tho Fall Elections.

Another Earthquake. On Thursday morning last at about half past B o'clock the citizens of Long Island were startled by the shock of an earth quake. .The shock extended along the north shore of Long Island, and was also mani fested in parts of Westchester county at the same instant. The shock was preceded by s rumbling noise as distant thunder which was Immediately followed by a quiv ering of the earth, and a waving moving of the surface. In the village of Glen Cove, Dosoris, Roalyn, Sands Point and other towns on the north shore of Long Island the shock was quite severe, and several buildings were thrown down, and others shaken from their foundations. Household crockery also received a general shake-up, and people were aroused from their chain bers and fled to the streets in terror. In Ryeand Harrison and Westchester county the shock was quite as severe. " EBTAn advertisement in a Western pa per informs the publio that board for the summer en be obtained "at a large and shady brick gentleman's ' residence In ' the country." ' . . One Term. , To show that the " one term" doctrine Is not a new Invention, we quote a few opinions of prominent publio men. The first one, is from a messnge of Presidont Grant before ho caught the re-election fever. " The liborties of the country cannot bo maintained without a ono term amendment to the constitution." ' U.S. GRANT. " Among the principles to be adopted by an executive sincerely desiring to restore the administration to its original simplicity and purity, 1 deem tho following of impor tance. First, to conlino his service to a single term." . . WILLIAM U&iNllX UAKlUSUiN, "Much observation and deliberate ro- llection have satisfied me that too much of the time, tho thoughts and exertions of the incumbent ore occupied during tho llrst torm in securing his ro-olection." " I cannot too earnestly invito your at tention to the propriety of promoting such amendments to the constitution that will render the presidont ineligible . after ono term of service." ANDREW JACKSON ' " Durinrr tho period that I have been an observer of tho workings of the Govern ment, it has been very raro that wo have been ablo to elect a President who has not been tempted to use tho vast power en. trusted to him according to his own opin ion to advance his re-election , Now Ictus have the nerve, lot us havo tho resolution to come up and apply the remedy. JJEiNJAMUN WAUli. " All these concurring voices whose pa triotism, oxporionco and reason bear testi mony, have additional value at a moment when the country is looking anxiously to reform in tho civil service." CHARLES SUMNER. (.'ambling hi Grain. Tho recent advance in wheat was brought about by a lawyer who, thought thus to try a hand in mercantile games of chnnco. Though innocent of any experience in the grain trado, or oven a tolerable knowledge of tho run of things, he resolved to coi ner wheat at any hazard. It was not so blind a venture as might at first blush appear.. On the contrary, resort had been had at a higher source of knowledge than any of tho mere human sort. Through consultation with a medium, ho had been told to force wheat up to $1. 73 a bushel, sell out and retire a Croesus. Whatever tho belief or the joke in this matter, this lino of conduct was followed, and all the man's available prop erty was coverted into wheat. The tem porary success of the scheme . was act ually so great that he pushed the price up !i0 cents, and could at one time sold out at a prolit of $100,000. But as over a million bushels had been got under control, this pittanco was not to be thought of as a fit reward. Tho course of his speculation has thus been summed up: "At first ho had a great deal of money and no wheat; then he had a groat deat of wheat and no money; and in the next turn ho had neither money nor wheat." One thing, however, ho had unwittingly done; had got together for beneficent dispersion abroad a vast amount of tho best grain. Few under any circum stances, and scarcely ono under these, can pity the fool who has ruined himself by the speculation he kindled. The amazing thing is, that so many men, those who stand well in tho community often, and are honored for highest integrity, make it the chief business of life to lookout for and turn to advantago sharp dodges on 'change There is 116 real exchange of com modities, no wholesome incentive given to trade; iu fact, ; commerce is deranged and private and public . morality not a littlo impaired. Crop Prospects. Judge Kuhn, of Gettysburg, returned re cently from an extended trip to the West, through Canada and New York. Ho left home on the 28th of May, returning on the 23d of Juno. Ho communicates to us his observations as to the condition of the growing crops, as follows : In York, Lancaster, Berks, Lebanon and other counties of Pennsylvania, through which ho passed, thoro will not be half a crop of wheat ; rye looks well, while hay will be short. Iu some jiarU of Ohio wheat and rye are very good, corn and oats looking well, with fair prospects for good hay crops. Ho gives tho samo report of portions of Indiana. In parts of Illinois he found the winter wheat very good, oats and corn good, and grass looking well. Missouri, wheat excellent iu many places, and good prospects for oats, corn and hay. In Michigan the wheat is very fine, tho oats, corn and hay presenting a good ap pearance. In Canada, the crops of all kinds will bo very poor. Iu tho upper part of New York, the prospects are unfavorable for wheat, corn and oat. Ballou's Maoazine for Auoust.

The Maiich Chunk Democrat fays:' "Ono of the most ' heart rending accidents that ' has happened In or about the coal works for years, ' was ' that which" 'proved fatal to a mute boy, about 14 years of age named Brcnnan,' ' near Carbondalo, on last Monday a week. . Ho was ' engaged in pushing coarse coal Into tho' 'teeth' of the breakor, and by some misstep , one foot went with the coal and' 'was 'caught by the teeth and suddenly drawn and crushed with tho coal, until his body filled the mouth or opening above tlie revolving iron breaker, and thus stopped the revolution of the machinery. His cries brought many to his teliof in a few moments, but thore was no way to get him out but to send to the "machine Bhop for men and tools to take tho machinery apart and allow tho coal and teeth to ' fall away from tho mangled leg. ' ' This poor boy suffered tho torments of death nearly two hours before he was re lieved, and then it was ascertained that most of his ' foot had been entirely' torn away. He only survived about half an hour after ho was taken out and carried home. The most remarkable thing connected with this sad affair, was tho fact that tho boy, although a mute, and speechless for life, actually begged of thoso about him to get him out quick, and prayed to God to spare his lifo as fluently and distinctly as could any body. Will some scientific party ' explain tho causo which gave tho power of speech to this dying boy?" Foreign Items. ' Berlin, July 11.

An Extraordinary Scene. , A London paper says: A curious scone was witnosscd early on Wednesday morning in Hydo Park. A man named Small, living in Chelsea, went to bathe iu the Serpentine, taking with him a monkey, which he was in the habit of carrying about. Having undressed, he placed the monkey on his shoulder, secured by a chain to his neck, and wadod into tho rivor. As soon as tho animal felt the water touch his tail ho be came terrified, and struggled to escape, nearly strangling its master in its efforts, and eventually causing both to sink. On coming up again, tho struggles of the man and the monkey to get free from each other attracted tho attention of Green, one of the Royal Humane Society's boatman, who rowed to the spot and succeeded iu getting both into his boat. The monkey soon re covered, but Mr. Small remained in a state of stupor for some time, partly from semi strangulation, and partly from immersion. It is stated that Small had been drinking rather heavily. , - Dog Killed by a Rocket. -The Jersey City Journal says : Lost evening, at the corner of Jersey avenue and Sixth street, a dog lost his life in a singular manner.
