Maryland.
. Maryland is coming to tho rescue.
Tho moss meeting of tho conserva?
tive of Baltimore, last week, was a
complote success, Monument Square
being crowded with tho largest poli?
tical assemblage over witnessed in
tho.city. The meeting was hold for
the purpose of ratifying tho actiou of
the Stato Convention, which has re?
cently framed a State Constitution, in
which tho white race aro restored to
all their ancient privileges and immu?
nities. The greatest enthusiasm pre?
vailed, and the whole affair was of a
character to inspire the friends of
liberty with renewed hope for tho
future.
There were a large number of
transparencies in the procession, the
mottoes on which proved the politi?
cal sentiments of the meeting. We
quote a few of them: "The spirit of
Old Hickory marches to the rescue oi
the Constitution," "Wo don't fear
Congress," "Tho white man's coun?
try und white man's Government,"
"The reign of terror must cease,"
"Wo support Andrew Johnson
against all usurpers, civil or mili?
tary," "Maaland will answer Cali?
fornia," and a host\)f others of thc
same complexion.
Ex-Gov. Pratt presided over thc
meeting, and resolutions were adopt?
ed approving of tho new Constitu?
tion of the State, endorsing John?
son's reconstruction policy, and
pledging tho Democracy of Maryland
to sustain the glorious efforts of Cali?
fornia, Kentucky, Connecticut anc
Maine to rostore the broken Unioi
and heal tho wounds which wer<
modo by tho war. Able and patrioti<
letters were received from ox-Gov
Seymour, of Connecticut, and others
Verily, a re-action is setting in, whicl
will soon bring peaco and unity t?
tho country, despito the efforts o
mere politicians and domagogucs.
Close of tlio Commercial Year.
Tho commercial year of the Soutl
closes ou tho first of Septombei
when the annual exhibits uro mad
out, and a careful review of tho pas
year's transactions in the great staple
is made up from tho best statistict
information. That for tho past yeai
in relation to cotton, has spoile
estimate boin g 2,500,000 bales. Th
figures show that the total crop c
the United States for tho past yea:
amounted only to 1.9G9.291 bale
against 2,151,045 bales in I860-a di
crease of 181,752 bales. The crop <
Sea Island cotton raised in Florid
was 11,521 bales; in South Carolic
12,000 bales, and in Georgia 9,7?
bales-total in the three States 33,31
bales. Tho crop of rico in Sout
Carolina and Georgia amounted I
35,030 tierce*
It will bc aoeu from tho abov
that the anticipated production i
cotton fell far short of estimate
The prospect for tho present year
not very promising. Advices fro:
all parts of the South, touching tl
present progress of the crop, aro ui
satisfactory. Earlier in tho seaso:
it was hoped that in the Northei
sections of tho cotton region, and
some of tho States bordering upc
the Atlantic, tho accounts were som
what favorable, and promised som
thing liko a fair yield; but tho rai
of tho past month or two have sei
ously damaged tho crop, whilo fro
Texas, Louisiana, Southern Miss
sippi and portions of Arkansas, t
accounts aro disastrous, tho won
and thc overflow? having, it is allege
destroyed a large per eentngo of t
crop. Tho estimates already bei:
mode of tho coming crop, vary frc
2,500,000 to 3,000,000 bales, but it
extremely doubtful if, with all t
latter mishaps winch have befallen
it will exceed that of the year ji
closed.

The Poor.
As I am about closing my Bpecial
mission for the poor, which began
last Ootober, I would take occasion
to address a few brief remarks to the
friends of that suffering ciaos, who
havo been, are, and will bo "always
with us." Notwithstanding the re?
lief extended to tho destitute during
the past unprecedented year of
famine, from charity abroad, and tho
prospective amelioration of their dis?
tress by our present harvest at homo,
still, until tho country entirely re?
cuperates from the effects of a de?
vastating war, there will remain much
want and suffering. We cannot ex?
pect help from other States to bo
continued, if at all, to anything like
the same extent as heretofore. And
yet, the cry of the noedy will still go
up in our midst. Shall this cry, as
it reaches the ear of Infinite Mercy,
testify that we heeded it not ? 'Tis
true, from our own individual scanty
resources, we can do little, but even
from these, as "out of tho abundance
of our deep poverty," we must dole
out some help to those worse off that)
ourselves. Theo, there are two sys?
tematic benevolent associations in
our own city, which, if they were
more extensively patronized, would,
at small personal coat, do a great
work towards the amelioration of the
condition of the poor around us.
One is "The Ladies' Industrial Asso?
ciation," which, by selliugthe needle?
work of those in straitened circum?
stances, provides them remunerative
employment. Tho terms of member?
ship being only one dollar por an?
num, a person would suppose this
charitable association would present
a large subscription list, but tho fact
is just the reverse-the membership
is very small, aud the patronage, in
the way of purchasing from or giving
work to the society, is very limited,
and yet that work is executed and
sold on the most reasonable terms.
For the sake of so many who have
known better days, now dependent
on this association for the work that
gets them bread, wo do earnestly re?
commend it to the consideration of
those who would desire to re?oive the
blessing promised to them "That
consider the poor."
Also, another blessed charity which
we would commend to the favorable
notice of our community, is thal
styled "Tho Ladies' Benevolent So
ciety of Columbia, for tho relief o:
tho sick poor of the place." Thi?
society, which so unobtrusively bu
efficiently carries succor and conso
lation to tho needy in their extrem?
distress, should surely appeal to tin
sympathies of all; but how is it ? It
annual subscription is bot one dolla
a year, and yet it has not forty mern
hors. To the mind of the most skep
tical, its good accomplished can ad
mit no doubt. It divides the cit;
into wards, to each of which is np
city, eminent for those qualitie
which best recommend them for th
holy work of charity, that personal!;
seeks out is well as succors sicknes
and destitution. Wo do entreat fo
this humane society now, or nt it
speedily approaching anniversary
the addition of hundreds to its list c
members. (From gentlemen, dono
tious of auy amount, will be thank
fully received.) Who, but the poores
of the poor, cannot spare, from som
personal superfluity or -self-indulg
euee, ono dollar, that may bo th
means of shedding a ray of comfoi
to the sick sufferer, in some wretche
hovel ?
But now, before laking leave c
thia subjeot, I would that I inigl
disnbuse tho minds of a few-eve
pious aud good people-of some pr<
judices in connection with the pa;
and present suffering and destitutior
I have been asked during my dail
labor of doling out contributions t
tho poor, "Are you not domoralizin
tho poor by all this charity ?" M
answer has been, "tho question is nc
one of morals, but of starvation !
The appeal to humanity is, "com
down now ero my child die." "Bu1
why don't they work ?" My ausw<
has been, "because thc work is n(
to bo had-havuyouittogive them:
"No !" "Well, who lias these time
that almost nil havo to do their ow
work ?"
To bo sure, there aro eases whoi
they will not work who can get woi
to do; but these, during tho past har
winter and spring, wero rare, excco<
ingly rare. Surely few were so laz;
as to prefer carrying a peck of coi
several miles from Columbia, ofti
through sleet and rain, to working fi
it nt home. The most to whom
doled out their small rations of cor:
(never more than a peck a week fi
each person, or on very raro occ
sions, adding a pound of bacon
wero widows and orphans, and mo
of t hem the widows and orphans of o
soldiers. Had these widows and c
phans been ablo to dress themselv
tn mourning, such a doleful compni
would have been waiting at my ga
for their pittance, as would ha
drawn tenrs from eyes unused
weep. True, stalwart men might c
casionally havo been seen there wi
their carts or wagons, but they we
only those whom some poor widow
disabled soldier had begged, for t
sako of charity, to bring them tia
poor rations.
These prejudices that I have i
hided to, nie calculated, ns son:
timos too freely expressed, to dis?
courage effort, both at home and
atwood, for the mitigation of dis?
tress, such as lias been ours, and
such as to some extent must cou?
tume for some time to exist; and be?
sides, too, it is doing our poor, os a
class, injustice. Though there ' are
among them, 'tis too true, those that
are idle and unprincipled; still, the
majority of them of these times, are
poor without fault of their own, will
work when they can get work to do,
and aro honest and virtuous, though
poor.
In conclusion, I would say, that
while the reception of alms may be,
under some circumstances, deteriorat?
ing, yet extreme poverty is always a
sovere ordeal, which, to alleviate,
especially in suoh times os these,
will, it may be presumed, do more to
prevent evil consequences than to
produce them. WM. MARTIN.
-
The Convention.
MESSRS. EDITORS: Regarding it as
a foregone conclusion that a conven?
tion of the people of this Stato will
soon be called, to frame a new Con?
stitution for the future guidance nnd
government of the entire population,
and os all our hopes of happiness and
prosperity as a people are dependent,
in a great measure, upon the delibe?
rations and actions of that conven?
tion, it is a matter of the most vital
concern that tho proclivities of all
persons aspiriug to a seat in that
important assemblage should be clear?
ly made known to the voters of the
State. A matter of no less magni?
tude than the'adoption of anew Con?
stitution, "more in accordance with
republican principles," is the debt
question-a matter which ought to
command the most serious attention
of the State Convention. During
the four sessions of tho Legislature
held since tho closo of the war, moro
time was spent and moro parliament?
ary eloquence exhausted upon this
than upon any other matter-except,
perhaps, the "Code"-that came be?
fore the General Assembly for consi?
deration. And yet little or nothing
was accomplished. A majority of the
Legislature favored relief in some
shape; but, though they stood up
manfully defending the cause of that
large but unfortunate class of our
fellow-citizens known as debtors,
every measure adopted was thwarted
by the decision of tho Court of
Errors. And yet, but for tho untir?
ing exertions of the relief party
repudiationists, as they were styled
by the opposition-and for the sub?
sequent humane order of General
Sickles, ruin and desolation would
long since have been tho lot of many
a family once happy and surrounded
by thc comforts, if not tho luxuries,
of life. This question must now bo
decided, and decidod by tho people
themselves.. Tf tho unfortunate debtor
to un stripped ol tin, ?"ioerablo
remnant of his property that has
been left to him by the fortunes of
war, and if-he and his children, and
his children's children, are to bo re?
duced to a system .of vassalage in?
comparably worse than slavery, and
if a feudal aristocracy is to spring np
in the name of a republic, let tho
people say so iu the forth-coming elec?
tions for members to the State.Con?
vention; or if, on the other hand,
they prefer a healthy independence,
and a future bright with hopes of
happiness, peace and prosperity, let
them seo to it in due season, that tho
approaching convention make it a
port of the organic law of tho State,
that a certain number of acres of
land, including the "homestead,"
around which cluster ten thousand of
tho most hallowed recollections-to?
gether with the household furniture,
the working tools of tho artisan, and
tho horse and farming implements of
the farmor-shall never bo liable to
levy and sale for any debt whatever.
This, I know, smacks of repudia?
tion; but tho body politic, liko the
body corporate, can sometimes only
be saved from impending destruction
by the heroic plan of treatment; and
repudiation, hideous though it be, is
preferable to serfdom.
These views, I am aware, will shock
the sensibilities of many a creditor
who is "longing" for his "pound of
flesh;" but if ho will but retlect upon
tho imminent peril of driving an
unfortunate but proud and spirited
people to despair, he will, perhaps,
agree with mo, that it were better not
to add the fatal feather which breaks
the camol's back.
What, then, is our duty and our
policy? Clearly, I think, to vote
"for n convention," and to send such
men there as will do something to
relieve the country from tho oppres?
sive and intolerable incubus that is
existing upon it. If this opportu?
nity is suffered to pass by unim?
proved, all your regrets will bo un?
availing, when the strong arra of tho
law makes you a "homeless and
houseless wanderer," "broasting the
neltings of the pitiless storm of ad?
versity," without one friend to cling
to in your distress. Mako your
choice between tho two.

FntE.-A tiro broke out yesterday
morning, about two o'clock, in the
dwelling of Dr. T. J. Roach, (situat?
ed about two miles from Columbia,
on the Monticello road,) and so rapid
was the conflagration, that the family I
wero barely able to escapo with their
lives-as tho building was entirely in
possession of the devouring element,
before the inmates were aroused from
their slumbers. Tho dwelling, with
its entire contents,, was destroyed.
The light was seen so distinctly in
Cnlnmliia, *lmf (Un alarm was civon,
and the firemen turned out. Dr.
Roach will receive the heart-felt sym?

an old and respected citizen of this

lumbia, commencing to-morrow.
"H. T. PEAKE, Gen. Sup."
This will be gratifying intelligence!
to our merchants, who havo for a
length of time complained-and very
justly too-of tho serious disadvan?
tage under which they labored, from
tho great discrimination in the freight
charges on goods between Charleston
and Augusta, and tho former city and
Columbia-nearly fifty per cent. Mr.
Bollin, it is said, has labored faith?
fully to havo this chango effected. We
are informed that, under tho new
tariff, goods can be brought to Co?
lumbia via Charleston at lower rates
than by any other route. It is worth
inquiring into.
