i. B. ODER, ‘ '/_ J
Fiii)STHUJK , .~p'^ TOBEIt 7 ’ 1ST1 ;
r:,e National Commercial Conveution. i
A Now York paper, of recent date,
intimates serious doubt as to the j
utility of assemblages like the one ;
lately convened in Baltimore, by as- j
suniing that the programme of work
to be accomplished is too extensive
to admit of any great degree of con
sequent benefit.
The utterances of papers of con
fessedly great editorial abilities, such
as the Tribune, ought not, probably,
to be superficially questioned. It
humbly occurs to us, however, that
the spirit of the inthnutiuu referred
to is improper.
The greatest visible merit in con
ventions of this kind is that they are
not political; and, for this reason, are
better calculated for the adoption
and recommendation of wise, equable
and economic measures, than purely
partisan bodies can possibly be.—
They are composed mainly, on the
one hand, of the capitalists of the
North, and the representatives of
Southern enterprise on the other—the
very men who are solidly interested
in tiic promotion of all that tends to
the commercial and financial benefit
of the country at large. Holding
these interests as paramount to mere
ly political considerations, they have
tlie general welfare truly at heart
and unconsciously, perhaps, exhibit
themselves as the best exemplars of
disinterested patriotism. They rec
ognize the truth of the great English
idea that, at last, the safety and per
petuity of a nation reposes in its own
internal development and husbandry
of capital, and that, apart from ex
traneous considerations of sectional
ism, their highest duty is to unite in
a common effort directed to the mu
tual enrichment of all sections. — j
Without the province of appropria
ting public money, they are secure j
against bribery, and avowedly un
partisan, they should lie unassailable
by proffers of political advancement, j
and, coming fresh from the fields of
capital and labor, with a full know!- ;
edge of the wants of both, they are
pre-eminently prepared to consider
and adjust antagonisms. The differ
ences, in some instances, are, unfor
tunately, great ; a superaddod diver
sity multiplies and complicates the (
chances against reconciliation.
To attain harmony, then, is a gi
gantic object—one that could scarce
ly he reached by any other medium j
than through National Conventions.;
It is not proposed to effect this in a
day, nor in a year. Many annual
sessions will, doubtless, recur before j
public sentiment is educated to the J
adoption of plans, better, because ]
matured, which have for their end
the development of hi Iden resources
at*l tho til' i viii_•*!i interchange oftnih*
ami traffic throughout the country
ami the world. Meanwhile, new ;
questions will arise, demanding un- j
biased attention ; and, ns time pro- \
grosses, the necessity for their indof- j
inite continuance will, probably, in-,
crease until the legislative bodies of i
tne country, passing upon the win j
doin of their conclusions, shall make
their liberal measures a part of the
national code.
Hut, viewed from a moral stand
point, these as.>emldagos cannot be
otherwise than nationally beneficial. |
The interchange of liberal views, the
formation r** commercial ties and the
interlinking of new friendships, that
will incidentally mark each recurring
session, will, not only more intimate- i
ly cement together the East and the
West, but will gradually lessen the
width of that gulf which yawns be
tween the North and South.
A report comes from Vienna that
the Emperor Francis Joseph b>
strongly disposed toward abdicating
the throne of the Austrian em
pire. A crisis threatens the ex- j
istence of the present form of gov
ernment, and the cause assigned for
liis action is the extraordinary one J
of conscious unfitness to meet the
approaching trouble.

Gubernatorial Convention, in session !

of success. Notwithstanding his j

iiM '•* Killed with a Cartridge
I A * —The Re mit of a Foolish Act,
I Yesterday aft moon, about two o'clock.
! an accident occurred in East Birmingham
which should prove a warning to all who
arc in the habit of canlcs.-Jy handling
shooting materials. A man named Anton
* Simeon was out hunting in the forenoon
and brought home to his boarding-house
( several birds, lie was playing with the
! little daughter of the saloon keeper, show-
I iog her how pow ler would explode. This
was in a small hii< lieu which was built in
thenar of the house, in which was a small
stove, where the experiments were made.
A young lady of the houe saw hi a explo
ding the powder, and took tic* e!.!:d, sav
ing that the stove might exphide, and that
was no place for the little one. Sh. had
hardly been out of the room a minute,
when a loud report was heard, and tlie man
sprang up, ran into the yard, pulled off his
'•oat and fell down dead. On examination,
the shell of a copper cart ridge, such as used
by the United Slates breech-loading mus
kets, was found on the kitchen floor. The
supposition is that he placed the cartridge
in the stove, in front of w hich, and about
two feet distant, lie was sitting, expecting,
no doubt, tlis t it would explode sideways
It did not, however, and the bullet earn.*
out with almost as much force as if find
from a musket, and entered the left leg,
about twelve inches below the hip, passing
upwards into the bowels, tearing a great
hole in its course, lb* bled very profusely,
and did not live a minute after ne was shot.

by the sight, lie stopped to it more
thoroughly. Meanwhile, liis wife was at
work for herself, and when finally 1 ' bur- 1
ried on to the court-room he learned to i
his dismay that the ease had been decided
against him, and liis wife had obtained a (
divorce. He did not care so much for the j
loss of liis wife, as he had engaged another
in anticipation of getting a divorce himself; !
but as the wife had obtained a decree I
against him, he was by the law precluded ;
from taking unto himself another wife un
til tin* lapse of live years. He was almost
j frantic, as he had his wedding clothes ready

applied, principally, to one class. When [
people are very wealthy and have incomes '
which will enable them to spend their moil- (

purposes, we need not trouble ourselves 1
about the amount they may scatter abroad. 1

Fisher’s release. It was only thro’
a mere accident that the design was
frustrated ; if the door had been

SlNurt.AK AND DISTItKSSISfi DEATH
of a Former Kesidkxt of Am.f.oany.
—We learn by private letter that
Mr. Jacob A remit, formerly of
(ii'antxviile, in this county , died un
der vry distressing circumstances
on the Itith inst., in Ilarfurd coun
ty, .Maryland. In substance, we
learn that Mr. A remit had been
dressing a wound upon a horse, ami
having - a cut upon one of his hands,
was poisoned by the medicine he
was using, which affected his whole
system, and he died from the effects j
of it within a week or two from the
date of the occurrence.
Mr. A remit was for many years
a leading citizen of Allegany county, '
and had resided at (1 rautsville for
upwards of twenty-live years, during
the most of which time lie was on
gaged in mercantile pursuits. About
live years ago he removed from ;
(Irautsville' to Baltimore city, and
engaged iu the flour, feed and com- j
mission business, but subsequently ;
quit that business Q "d moved into J
the country and commenced tanning, j
At the time of liis death lie was re- I
siding oa a farm in Harford county. |
Mr. A remit was a man of integrity j
and sterling qualities, and enjoyed ;
the respect ol his felolw citizens to ;
an eminent degree. Idiw many h muds
throughout Allegany will painfully I
regret his distressing death, and
deeply sympathize with his wife and
children.— News.
Fatal Aocipznt. —Yesterday after- ;
noon, as a coal train on the Haiti
mere and Ohio railroad was entering' ;
this city, at the west side of the i
Wills’ creek viaduct the brakesman, I
a young man named James Herring, I
foil between the cars to the track 1
beneath, aid the wheels of a num
ber of cars passed over liis body,
crushing it in a most shocking man
ner.
The particulars, as near as we
could learn them are as follows :
Herring was about the middle oi the j
train, and it is supposed was in tho
act of drawing tlie brakes, when lie
was seen by a woman near by to fall |
between the cars. A-s tho train J
passed, the woman attracted tho at
tention of the conductor cl the train,
who was istandijig on the bumper ol
the rear car, and he, on looking back
in the direction in which tho woman
pointed, saw tho man lying on the
track. The conductor instantly
jumped from tha train and ran to the
prostrate man, but just as he reached
him the poor fellow breathed his
last. The train kept on, and for the
want of some one to draw the brakes
very nearly ran into another train
ahead of it, in the depot yard. Tho
engineer had repeatedly signaled
“down brakes” as he came into the
yard, not knowing that his poor
brakesman was beyond all signals in
this world. Tbe dead man was
brought to the company’s carpenter
shop, near tho depot, placed in a
oofiin and taken on the passenger
train east last night to liis parents
who reside iu Martiasburg, VI eat
Virginia.—A cuw.

J The news of the day is most startling,
j Bvory where buyers and consumer* arc
greatly lamenting over the rapid rise
' in the prices ot Dry Goods. The people
—the consumers—ol this region of eoun
’ try have; one hope; they unow that there
is away to successfully combat these
monopolies; they Know that there is a
system of buying and selling that laughs
to scorn all attempts to add more extor
tion to the burdens of an ovc rtaxod com
munity; they Know that the opposition
that has so fought such gi
| ants as Stewart and Clallin for the past
four years, is now ready to give up the
battle and allow monopoly and high
prices full sway- It i* also Known, that
our system of buying goods and conten
ding witn oppression, lias no match in
this broad univi rse. When they tell
you that we are a branch of Stewart's or
Chillin'*, do ml believe them; we can
prove tli.it we have no connection with
any monopoly which hohlt the reins of
power to dictate prices; that we are de
termined to advance the fame of tin*
