'The following are tlie declarations
adopted by the late "national" con-
vention at Cleveland, Ohio. IIow nu-
merous the body was, or what was
the extent of its constituency, the
meager proceedings thus far published
do not make very clear :
The preamble recites that our gov-
ernment is founded upon and derives
its power from the people. The exist-
ing evils have resulted chiefly from
representatives setting party above
popular interests. These are chiefly
displayed in our monetary system and
the monopolies which it has engen-
dered, this system being monarchical
in its principle and subversive of re-
publican government. To resist the
encroachments of money power, to
stay the tide of corruption and extrav-
agance, and to place the contrdl of
tbe resources and finances of the coun-
try in the hands of the people, it has
become our duty to organize an inde-
pendent party, upon the following
basis, as no reliance can be placed in
the existing parties :
I. It is the duty of the government
to establish a monetary system based
on the faith and resources of the na-
tion, in harmony with the genius of
this government and adapted to the
industrial and commercial needs of
the country. To this end notes of all
national and State banks should be
withdrawn from circulation and paper
money issued by the government di-
rectly to the people in the payment of
government obligations, without the
intervention of any system of banking
corporations; which money shall be
legal tender in payment of all debts,
public and private, duties on imports
included, except that the portion of
the interest and principal of the pre-
sent public debt that is by the express
terms of the law croating it made pay-
able in metallic money. This money
to be interchangeable at the option of
holders with registered government
bonds bearing interest at a rate not
exceeding 3.65 per cent, per annum.
This system of finance will, by
stimulating our industries and com-
mercc, soon make the United States
the depository of the precious metals
of the world.
3. The adoption of this system, by
furnishing sufficient money at low in-
terest, will solve the <[uestion of cheap
transportation, because it will enable
railroads and the carrying trade to re-
lieve themselves of their loads of debt
and lower their rates, and enable the
people to construct additional lines
whenever internal commerce may re-
quire.
4. It is the duty of the government
in all its legislation to keep in view the
lull development of the agricultural
and mineral resources of the country
and manufacturing interests.
5. The great interest of productive
industry claims its just recognition at
the hands of the government of the
people, and that through the monetary
system here proposed this interest can
be fully secured.
0. As the public domain is the right-
ful heritage of the people, it should
not be distributed to speculators or
corporations, but reserved for actual
settlers.
7. It is the duty of the government
to equalize the bounties of soldiers
and to bring to a speedy settlement all
other just claims arising from the late
war.
8. All rights, privileges, and immu-
nities recognized by the government
should be based on the fact of citizen-
ship, equal rights before the law being
secured by the constitution.
9. AVe insist upon and demand severe
retrenchment and economy in ell
branches of public affairs.
10. Rivers and harbors, being under
the jurisdiction of the government,
should be by it improved when neces-
sary to the commerce of the country.
II. Through the monetary system
herein proposed there will be estab-
lished between the citizens of this
country a firm and lasting bond of
union by giving them a common inter-
est in a common" government and
bringing peaco and prosperity to each
and all of its inhabitants.
Rkother Hammond still keeps up a
pretty lively fight with the devils at
"'Frisco," but complains that his ad-
versary does not fight fair. The Call
says that Mr. Hammond, in one of his
sermons, said that the devil hates him
dreadfully, and hates all ministers, and
tells lies about them. He added that
God is stronger than the devil, and so
is Jesus.
Mr. Hammond asked all children to
stand up who thought their mothers
were christians. Of those who re-
sponded, Mr. Hammond counted 125.
Sixty or seventy children then intima-
ted by the ercct posture that their
fathers are christians. Forty-three
children in the same way asked prayers
for their fathers, and a few requested
prayers for their mothers. Referring
to the hopefulness on the maternal side,
Sir. Hammond remarked: "Why!
most of your mothers are christians!
I'm so glad."
Mr. Hammond thought there was a
good deal of "spiritual flirtation" in
the inquiry meetings. He believed in
less talk and more prayer.
Requests for prayer were made as
follows: An old lady, aged 78 years,
from the State of Maine, asked pray-
ers that her son, a business man in this
city, might be converted. Dr. Stone
read a letter from Santa Cruz, asking
prayers for a brother in San Francisco,
who, though educated, was dissipated.
Brother Sawtelle prayed for the in-
temperate. Mr. Hammond read a let-
ter for requests of prayer for a family
of five sons and two daughters. Mr.
Hammond read off a list of the requests
of prayer, handed in by the ushers as
follows; also the following: For my
wife; three young men, scoffers of re-
ligion ; son of an aged man; a young
lady not long for this world; an infi-
del who would believe in God if He
would make his hands drop off: Chi-
nese missions; a fast girl; two sons; a
widow for her two sons; my father, a
backslider; prisoners; editor of the
Antioch Ledger; young men who re-
fuse to converse on the subject of re-
ligion; son of a minister; my two un-
converted brothers; the superintend-
ents and teachers of Sunday Schools;
city officers and supervisors; President
and chief magistrates of the country.
Srr.akini; about who shall be the
coming Senator from Louisiana, the
New Orlcuns Bulletin says: "And
now it is sjkl that if Kellogg calls an
extra session, and if the Legislature
graciously manufactured for us re-
sponds to the call, there will be, per-
haps, the liveliest scrimmage over the
Senatorship imaginable. First on the
list will come the pestiferous and per-
sistent Pinch, then Casey, Kellogg,
Packard, Billings, Beckwith, Hugh J.
Campbell, and, possibly, a score more
of that ilk. Then, on the other hand,
we hear mentioned the names of R. H.
M:trr, Gi n. Randall Gibson, Gen. Mc-
Millen, D. B. Penn, J. B. Eustis, Al-
bert Leonard, L. A. "Wiltz, and it is
not improbable that a host of others
will loom up as soon as the Legislature
meets, if it ever meets, in extra session.
It is thought not improbable that War-
moth will make a strenuous effort
to secure the election. Altogether,
among the various aspirants we will
have a pretty kettle of fish."
A WnxiAMspoRT man awoke his
wife the other night, and, in a star-
tled tone of voice, informed her that
ho had swallowed a dose of strych-
nine. "Well, you fool," said she,
"lie still, or it may come up."
The Rev. Leonard Bacon, of Center
Church, New Haven, preached hi* fiftieth
anniversary sermon last Tuesday. -:-j

OALVKSTON, TCTAS*. „ j.
Thursday Evknixo, March IS, jsv5. t
Falling barometer all day ar.d hard
rain this evening. It is welcome if it
extended up country, for they are need
ing it there.
Beyond continued light receipts, the
cotton news amounts to nothing any
where. All markets remain unchanged,
save New York, where there has been an
advance of Jc. on spots and 3-32c. on fu-
tures, solely due to the advance in gold.
Gold has gone no higher to-day, hut sticks
fast at yesterday's gain—116J. The rate
for banker's sterling is quoted down half
a point, but commercial stands at yester
day's figures. All this of the New York
market. Our own is without change. In
New Orleans, sterling quotations, being
in currency, range higher, commensurate
with the gold advance.
The weekly exhibit of the Bank of
England is a favorable one—the first for
a long time. Specie has increased .€228,
000, and the proportion of reserve to lia-
bilities has swelled to -10i per cent,
against 39 last week. The rate of dis
count remains unchanged at 3£ per cent.
The week's increase of specie in the
Bank of France has been 10,060,000
francs.
In our goneral market most branches
of business continue fairly active. Hides
ara still irregular, at yesterday's wide
range of prices, but the feeling is some
what better. Bacon has a decided up-
ward tendency. To-day's sales have beeir
at an advance of £c. on clear, |c. on clear
rib, and |c. on shoulders, and at the close
clear and clear rib are each held Jc.
higher still. There has been a decline
in meal, and weakness in bran, and fruits
are generally lower.
In another column we publish in full
the weighers' law recently passed by the
Legislature. It will be seen—
1. The act goes iatoeffect June 1,1875.
2. Three weighers are to be appointed
for Galveston.
3. Each weigher can appoint one or
more deputies, to be sworn like himself,
for whose acts the principal is respon-
sible.
4. The articles subject to this compul-
sory weighing are cotton, wool, Bugar
and hides.
5. The fees are : Cotton 10c. per bale,
wool 10c. per bale or sack, sugar 50c. per
hogshead and 10c. per barrel, hides 10c.
per bale and 2c. for each loose hide.
6. Under penalty of $5 fine for each
article, all persons except public weigh-
ers are prohibited from weighing ; pro-
vided, however, that any person can
weigh his, her, or their own cotton, wool,
sugar or hides, in person, free of the
penalty.
As the act does not go into effect until
June, our business community has ample
time to consider the merits of the meas-
ure, and to prepare for compliance
with it.
It is to be hoped that the execution of
this law may not result in the imposi-
tion of an additional tax on produce.
Such will undoubtedly be the effect un-
less the weighers appointed be such as
command the confidence of both buyers
and sellers. By no legislative device
can a buyer be compelled to purchase at
weights which do not suit him, and were
it possible, the effect would simply be to
drive away trade. Under the law the
produce must be weighed by the ap-
pointee, but there can be no compulsion
on the public to come up and buy at
these weights. One man can lead a horse
to water, but ten can not make him drink.
It is observed that the following letter
from Messrs. Freeman, Benson & Co.,
Charleston, dated February 6, and ad-
dressed to their Liversool house, has
been going the rounds of tlie English pa-
pers. Since that date, we doubt not,
these gentlemen have had occasion to
revise their estimates somewhat:
Dear Sirs—You will remember that
our estimates for the crop was 4,000,000
bales in October, and that early in De-
cember, owing to the splendid picking
season and enormous receipts at the
ports, we raised our limit to 4,250,000
bales. As you no doubt will be anxious
to know how far our opinion has been
modified by the very small receipts since
the opening of the new year, we now
give you our reasons for believing that
the crop will in no case fall short of
4,100,000, whilst it is by no means impos-
sible that our largest estimate may yet
be reached. Bearing in mind that any
uncertainty after the first of February
as to the extent of the crop is finally de-
cided, for the most part, by receipts at
the gulf ports, we have the following
figures at New Orleans for the present
and the two previous seasons:

It appears, then, that at New Orleans
we were, at the close of last month,
77,000 bales behind last season, 61,000
of which deficiency are to the debit of
the three principal tributaries, the rail-
road falling short 12,000, and the Missis-
sippi proper only 4000 bales. As the
railroad lost 20,000 bales by comparison
in January, delivering only 31,000 against
51,000, and as it was hitherto ahead of
last year, we infer that but for the bad
weather we should have ha 1 no reduc-
tion from this source.
The tributaries, therefore, hold the
key to the position ; but whereas the
three rivers had delivered 179,686 bales
to January 31 last year, against 118,897
at present, their deliveries to date in 1873
were only 82,045, or 36,852 less than at
present. The truth is the upper waters
have not yet been navigable except for
two weeks in December, whereas last
year they had been open continuously
since November. In 1873 the tributa-
ries were not navigable till February,
and it is well to rem mber that the large
surplus of last year was more than lost
eventually ; the total receipts at New
Orleans, as shown in the above table,
being 1,221,689 bales in 1874, against
1,240,384 in 1873. There is no reason to
suppose that the bottom lands of the
tributaries have grown a worse crop than
the main river, and the heavy receipts
from this source prove that here a good
crop was made. Nor have the railroads
affected this section in any appreciable
degree; certainly no new lines have been
opened in the past twelve months.
Moreover,the two points where such
shipments would app ar are Memphis and
St. Louis. The first shows a very large
deficiency from last year, and the latter
an increase of only 20,000 bales, drawn
chiefly from Northern Texas. Indeed,
but for the curious fact that opinion on
your side is always overawed by tbe
year immediately preceding, it would
seem absurd to enter into an elaborate
argument on the probability of receipts
at this point, ultimately sl'owing a very
different result, for, with the single ex-
ception of last seasoD, a comparison
with every year since the war points to
the conclusion we contend for.
We consider, however, that the re-
ceipts at Galveston for the next month
are fully as important as those at New
Orleans as an index of what we are to
get from the Southwest.
This State is the only one in which a
considerable increase in acreage was
reported. We had also been led to be-
lieve that the yield was decidedly better
than last year ; yet the receipts at Gal-
veston for the past month have been
ridiculously small, and unless they can
be otherwise accounted for would cer-
tainly indicate a very Bliort crop in the
heavy lands (as apart from river bot-
toms) throughout the Gulf States. We
prefer to believe the letters of numerous
correspondents that the rains have been
even more severe in Texas than else-
where, rendering the hauling of cotton
impossible. The weather is now settled,
and the receipts for the next month will
decide the question.
The receipts at all ports are to-day
about 50,000 bales less than a year ago,
but exclusive of New Orleans show an
excess. We can not altogether ignore
the reports from many points in the inte-
rior of exhaustion of supplies, and
should Texas disappoint us the excess we
may fairly reckon to receive at New Or-
leans might be required to prevent the
final total falling below 4,100,000 bales.
On the other hand, the uplands were
drained to an unusual extent last year,
and the movement has been so restricted
by bad weather since the 1st of January
that it is quite possible that there is now
no deficiency even in the Atlantic StsteB
and Tennesset . Should this prove to be
the case our larger estimate will yet be
reached.
Allowing that the crop may safely be
put down at 4,100,000 balea, it is for
Manchester to decide how much further
cotton shall advance.
The telegraph reports that the Fall
River strikes have been settled, and that
the spinners and weavers have go^ie to
work again. Mail advices are awaited
with interest. Some time back the ques-
tion was raised in this column as to
whether pending contiacts contained
" strike " as well as " fire " clauses.
The following extract from the New
York Bulletin, of 12tli inst., would seem
to answer the question in the affirma-
tive :
Print cloths are very firm, at about 6|c.
for extra standard spot cloths, and a
sale of 12,000 pieces at that price for
cash is reported to printers, whose con-
tracts with Fail River mills have been
annulled on account of the strikes there.

COTTON.
THE GALVESTON MARKET.
The feeling is easier, but as yet there
has been no break in prices. Holders of-
fer readily, and even permit free selec-
tions out of lists, which they have been
averse to heretofore. There is more
anxiety to sell but as yet without overt
movement toward concessions. On the
other hand the demand is at a minimum,
buyers preferring to hold aloof altogether
rather than stimulate holders by an at-
tempt to operate. Transactions amount
to only 285 bales, two brokers operat-
ing.
The Cotton Exchange quotes the mar-
ket " weak and nominal, with free offer-
ings and limited demand." Sales 285
bales at unchanged prices.

DR. C. M'LANEV
Celebrated American
Worm Specific,
OR
VERMIFUGE.
SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
THE countenance is pale and
leaden-colored, with occasional
flushes, or a circumscribed spot on
one or both cheeks ; the eyes become
dull; the pupils dilate; an azure
semicircle runs along the lower eye-
lid ; the nose is irritated, swells, and
sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the
upper lip ; occasional headache, with
humming or throbbing of the ears ;
an unusual secretion of saliva ; slimy
or furred tongue; breath very foul,
particularly in the morning; appetite
variable, sometimes voracious, with a
gnawing sensation of the stomach, at
others, entirely gone; fleeting pains
in the stomach; occasional nausea
and vomiting; violent pains through-
out the abdomen; bowels irregular,
at times costive; stools slimy, not
unfrequently tinged with blood; belly
swollen and hard ; urine turbid ; re-
spiration occasionally difficult, and
accompanied by hiccough; cough
sometimes dry and convulsive; un-
easy and disturbed sleep, with grind-
ing of the teeth ; temper variable,
but generally irritable, etc.
Whenever the above symptoms
are found to exist,
Dr. C. M'LANE'S VERMIFUGE
Will certainly effect a cure.
The universal success which has
attended the administration of this
preparation has been such as to war-
rant us in pledging ourselves to the
public to
RETURN THE MONEY
in every instance where it should
prove® ineffectual: "providing the
symptoms attending the sickness of
the child or adult should warrant the
supposition of worms being the
cause." In all CAses the Medicine
to be given in strict accordance
with the directions.
We pledge ourselves to the public,
that
Dr. C. M'Lane's Vermifuge
_ DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY
in any form ; and that it is an inno-
cent preparation, not capable of doing
the slightest injury to the most tender
infant. Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS., Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from
"tliers than Fleming Bros., will do well to write
their orders distinctly, and take none but Dr. C.
Jlf LanS s, prej>a red by Fleming Bros. .Pittsburgh
Pa. To those wishing to give them a trial, we will
forward per mail, post paid, to any part of the
Lnited States, one bo* of Pills for twelve three-
cent postage stamps, or one vial of Vermifuge for
f ourteen three-cent stamps. All orders from Canada
must be accompanied by twenty cents extra.

DR. CUliTIS'S
LAST PROFESSIONAL SEASON IN NEW
ORLEANS.
Dr. E. De F. Curtis, M. D., F. E. C. S.,
Author of
u MANHOOD," " MEDICAL ESSAYS ON
MARRIAGE," ETC.,
While returning his sincere thanks to bis
numerous patients in Texas, and the adjacent
Southern country, for the flattering evidences
of their confidence and esteem received by
him, desires to announce that he
WILL LEAVE NEW ORLEANS ON THE
FIRST DAY OF MAY NEXT
for San Francisco, California, where he has
business interests to protect, and which will
require his presence for the next two years at
least. In making this announcement thus
early, it is for the purpose of saving from dis-
appointment many who desire to place them-
selves under his care, but who fail to call till
the last few days of his stay; and in fact, as
in former yeais, have called at his office after
his departure, much to his regret and their
disappointment. In order, therefore, that no
one may have an excuse for missing the op-
portbnity of
HIS PERSONAL ATTENTION,
those who wish to place themselves under his
care should CALL AT ONCE at his rooms,
No. 9 Rampart Street,
BETWEEN CANAL AND CUSTOMHOUSE,
NEW ORLEANS, LA.,
Daily, from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., or from 6 to
p. m. On Sundays, 11 to 1 p. m., only.
DR. CURTIS has devoted himself for a
period ranging over twenty years, and adopt-
ed, as his specialties, the treatment and cure
of
NERVOUS AND PHYSICAL DEBILITY,
Exhausted Vitality, Premature Decline,
Abuses of the System, and such general
functional derangements as spring from the
above causes, or are incident to an enervated
and depleted condition of the organs.
DR. CURTIS addresses himself to those
who have already yielded to the suggestions
and besought the care of ignorant advertis-
ing charlatans, from whom they have received
no benefit, and who, in fact, have done them
more material harm than practical good. It
is conceded that Medicine, like ail other
sciences, is progressive, and every year but
records some new development or marked ad-
vance. By a felicitous combination of reme-
dies of acknowledged curative power. Dr.
CURTIS has so arranged and adapted his
treatment as to afford not only immediate
relief, but radical and permanent cure.
The Medical Times says : " Dr. Curtis's sys-
tem of treatment, the result of twenty years
successful practice, differs from all others in
general use, and commends itself to the af-
flicted as the only true source of relief. Many
cases pronounced incurable have yielded suc-
cessfully to his remedies."
Dr. CURTIS would again impress upon the
minds of all who contemplate consulting him
the duty of Calling Without Delay.
