Job A. Reported for the' Baltimore Sua. 1. The seventh day at Ejuory Gtqve camp-meeting was ushered in with better prospects for fair weather- than any day-since its Inauguration. The log fires 1 which had been kept burning in front of the tents for four or five days were put out and preparations made for real of enjoyment.

The ladies and children donned their gay attire, and everybody put on a cheerful face. The atmosphere of the grove -was fresh and bracing, and the avenues and promenades clear of rand. The attendance at the services was larger than on any -previous occasion -except on Sunday, many visitors being present from the neighborhood, and nearly ail the people left their tents to attend the various meetings held in the tabernacle and in the large tehfe. Inquiry among the tenters developed the fact that there were no eases of sickness on the pround resulting from the inclement weatherwhich has prevailed. There are some invalids there who had come out forthe benefit of their health.

The fre3h air, even though it has been damp, they say hag benefited them. POPCXATIOW PROVISION.

Nest week the fruit trains wiil be started on the-railroads West, and the peach trade will begin in earnest. A Baltimore fruit dealer is fittting up refrigerators in sections on Light street for the reception of peaches.

The party of impeachment, start with, haa lost tne country ana on us ihsi term of power probably forever.

Look at the record. The vote acquitting Mr. Joaason, it reguiring two-thirds to convict, was aa fol lows: For conviction Messrs.

Let what haa happened tothee men In the order in which they are prints Mr.

An-thocy has heeu re-elected from a State in which a property qualification is necessary to voters, and the firm of Brown Ives, which he represents rather f'in the State, has come to naught. Simon Ome-ou haa lost Pennsylvania, aud will be of no more account in politic now that corruption hr.s been struck down 1st him. Alexander Catteil has been left at home, and is now known as tne naval ring is known. Zach. Chandler has been defeated permanently.

Cole, of -California, is a sturdy office beggar, succeeded by a democrat. Mr. Conkdng sees New York 50,000 democratic, and himctf without a following except that which he keeps in office. Jona Conness has followed his colleague, Cole. Mr.

Frelinghuysen find3 New Jersey and himself with careers. has been ruined by disclosures of the Credit Mobilier, and he-is inlamously rich. Howard, of Michigan, was first defeated and then died a horrible accident. Morgan, of New York, was put to a double degradation. He was defeated, and he was defeated by R.

B. Fenton. Crasin is a barnacle on the navy, aud Williams has been retired for the corruption of his family and the incompetency of himself. Mr. Morton sees Indiana repudiate him and his party by 23,000 majority.

Pome-roy goes out all over corrupt. Ramsey was defeated by his own party. John Sherman has lived to 6ee Ohio democratic on a Congress vote. Sprague has failed both in politics and business. Stewart, of Nevada, survives as the product 'and.

horrible example of rotten borough politics to see worse jobbers than himself succeed him. Corbitt has been sent back to retail shop-keeping in Oregon. Drake has been buried in the Court of Claims, and finds Frank Blair honored, though dead, and himself execrated, though alive, by Missouri. Mr. Edmunds and the two Morrilla seem exceptions to retributiou.

They have not lost their seats or their States, but the country has repudiated their party. Poor Nye is in a mad house. Ferry, of Connecticut, is a hopeless in-! valid, and his State has repudiated his party, too. Patterson has retired, disgraced with Credit Mobillierlsm. Sumner did works meet lor repentance, but he is dead.

Thayer, Tipton and Willy are not even remembered. Henry Wilson is a victim' of a terrible self-inflicted malady, and Massachusetts has parted company with him. Wade has sunk into a senile lobbyist, end Yates died in a condition not necessary to recall. Of those who voted for acquittal. Garret Davis.

Wm. P. Fessenden, James L.Dixon. Jas. R.

Grimes, Charles Minnesota, and" Willard Saulsbury are aeaa. Tneir memories are held' in honor as men who dared do right when it cost much to do so. Pennsylvania has swung back to the faith of Buckalew, and Indiana to that of Hendricks. Iowa hs remained steadily radical, but has vindicated the name of Grimes by hiarh honors. Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia and Illinois have either remained or become conservative.

Kansas has made Ross a State Senator, and Pomeroy lingers, as said, in corrupt obscurity. Mr. Henderson unaccountab'y went back to radicalism, but Missouri did not. Mr. Fowler holds a high State office in Tennessee, end wealth and even fame wait on Lyman Trumbull.

Mr. Rev-crdy Johnson retired "at his own wish, and so did Mr. Vickers. Mr. McCreery is again in the Senate, while Mr.

Bayard's sou succeeded' him there. In recalling these facts and the rewards and retributions presiding in them, nobody need speculate about what the people thought ofiin-peachment. The Ereslj'tcriari Alliance. A correspondent of the New York Post, writ. ing from London July 24, sums up the results of the recent Presbyterian conference in that city as follows It is agreed to form a Presbyterian alliance to meet in general council from time to time, in order to confer upon matters of common inter and to further the ends for which the Church has been constituted by her Divine- Lord and only King.

Wm. E.Warren, the expert accountant of jS'ew York, who made Rome ffreat figuring during the raid on the canal ring, has been put to work on them aa a last resort. He thinks he can unravel them, but there are many here who think such a feat is next to impossible. It will be remembered that Magruder received and disbursed over fifteen millions of dollars, and the board of audit thought he did this "without check or examination of his own accounts by any other officer the District and without care on his part." The board in their last report found that the accounts were short $3,000, and afterwards they found the shortage to be a larger sum. Since then the.

Wm. Taylor preached to a large congregation at the tabernacle at night, and roused tha camp-meeting fire among the people to an extent not before reached since thec beginning of the meeting.

No spirituous liquor is sold hear the camp, and there is an absence of all those features which are considered objectionable by many who are opposed to camp-meetings. Yesterday, however, it became necessary for General Berry to exercise his authority upon a pedler of watermelons, who came on the ground without a permit or license.

The luckless dealer iu luscious fruit was arrested and sent to Reisterstown for commitment. Cumberland Valley Camp-Meeting. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. August, 4, 1875. The grounds on which the seventh annual camp-meeting of the Harrisburg district of the JI.

E. Church begins to-day are thirty-five miles west of Harrisburg, on the Cumberland Valley railroad. They are owned by the Cumberland Valley Camp-meeting Association, a stock company controlled by the Church. Ther are about 250 ients, forming two larsra circles and several street? or avenues. The larger circle is the auditorium for pTeaching services, and will seat about 4,000 persona; the smaller occupied by a shingle-roofed open tent or "taDertfle," for prayer -meetings and for all services during wet.

weather, and will seat nearly 2,000 persons. The tents are generally plain, whitewashed, weather-boarded structures, two stories high, although several regular participants have added doors, blinds and other conveniences, and their tents have quite a cottage-like appearance. Two large boarding tents have been erected, one for regular aud the other for transient custom, the latter having sleepingaccommodations on the second story. A camp store, resembling a green-grocery, and a "pay-for-what-you-getn restaurant add to the convenience of the regular and occasional There is also at hand, for conveuience sake, a bookstore, post-ofiice and telegraph office. The camp ie inclosed by a high 1oard fence.

A plank walk, lined with young shade trees, leads from the railroad station to the grounds, a distance of a quarter of a mile. There were few arrivals yesterday, a thirty-rtx hours' rain, which ended in the morning, having not only dampened the grounds, but the ardor of the participants as well. A repetition of last years experience with rainy days is dreaded. The regular exercises will not be proceeded with according to programme until tomorrow. At 8 -o'clock this morning the sun is shining brightly and everybody is happy.

Murder in Talbot County. The Easton (Md.) Star of Tuesday gives the following particulars of the- murder of John T. Ford, at St. Michaels last Saturday! which has been briefly annouced In The Sun: News reached here on Saturday evening that great excitement prevailed at St Michaels growing odt of the brutal murder of John Thomas Ford. It appears that Mr.

X'ord and Mr. Alexander Hambleton manied sisters. Ford lived in St. Michaels and Hambleton on a farm a few miles in the coantry. -Mr.

Hambleton being about to commence machining wheat, on Friday evening Mrs. Hambleton came to town for Mr, and Mrs. Ford to go out and assist them. Mrs. Ford returned to the farm with Mrs.

Hambleton on Friday, and it was arranged that Mr. Ford should remain over night and follow on Saturday morning. On Saturday about eleven clock A. M. the body of Ford was found dead Id the back of his garden by a neighbor, with his skull split open.

Several heavy blows had been dealt nim on the head with a hatchet or some other heavy instrument, either one of which was sufficient to cause his death. -A jury of in quest was at once summoned to investigate the case, but up to yesterday morning no clue to the murderer had been found- The case appears to involved in orofound mystery. Suspicion as yet rests on no particular person, and no cry of murder was heard In the neighborhood on the- night of the ninrder. it is reported that a white child and a colored man in the neighborhood heard singular sounds about ten oclock on Saturday night, bnt it is not certain that they were made by the murdered man or by the murderer. The case is still undergoing investigation by tne Jury.

It is to be hoped that the perpetrator of the horrid deed will be discovered and brought to jnstice. As Ford's bed- was found Dot tumbled on Saturday morning, it ia clear that he was murdered before he retired to bed. Ha was probably decoyed out of bis house, and dispatched in. the early part of the night. He was between forty-five ana fifty years" old, and eon of tne late Captain Nicholas Ford, of 100,000 boxes of peaches, and his experiment will be fully tested.

The receipts of watermelons yesterday reached 35.000 or 40,000, together with much larger numbers of cantelenps. These were all sold at an early hour at good figures, the bulk for interior shipment, including to Pittsburg, Cin- cinnatl and Chicago. A leading produce dealer who has done a large business on he wharves for years, says that in an experience of forty-four years he has never seen anything like the present demand in Baltimore for peaches, melons, and produce of all kinds, the orders coming chiefly from interior points, and the prospects for the realization of good prices tor all that reaches here in prime order are excellent. Formerly it was thought that Baltimore could only supply local wanta, but it has been found out that cheap good-facilities for handling, and uniformly honert dealing, give this city advantages not met with elsewhere. The Old Folks' Morninu H.

C. Jsrrett, of the firm of Jarrett Palmer, New York, who will be remembered aa a native and former resident of this answered an application from Mr. John T. Ford by tendering for a morning excursion to Annapolis Roads, inthe name of the firm, tha magnificent ocean ete-aruship, "The Plymouth Rock," built solely for passenger travel, and which in size is longer, aud wider in one portion, than the entire Maryland Institute building. The Plymouth Rock was formerly owned by the late Jamei Fiek, and Jay Gould, and run during tne summer betweenNcw York and Long Branch.

The title of "a Coating palace" is only jiist to her grand proportions and the splendor of her decorations and furniture. She an. equipment bow for over two thousand passengers. The free morning excursion will be strictly limited to tne. beneficiaries of the Free Excursion Society, and the number positively limited to one thousand, chiefjy old folks, but in some instances mother's And infant chlklreh, Wh6f6 it is important to health, will be furuished with tickets.

The excursion will start from Henderson's wharf only, at 8X o'clock A. on Wednesday, August if, and proceed down to-within sight of Anuapolis. No landing will be made. It 3s due to the liberality of Messrs. Jarrett Palmer to say that they will give an excursion on Tuesday, August 10, from the same wharf, upon their own account.

On both excursions the musical attractions will be Gilmorc's military band aud string orchestra, the Mozart Glee Club, choir of Madrigal Boys and grand chime of church Completion of the City Halt.

Pnrcell, the-superintendent, in his report, stated that the city hall will be entirely completed and the finishing touches given by the 1st of October next. The rotunda is now the only unfinished part of the building, and there is some furniture to be placed in the mayor's apartments and the armory. This will, it is stated, be certainly done by the 1st of October, and the dedication of the building will take place soon after and during the official term of Mayor Vausant. As chairman of the building committee, Mr. Vausant has given a great deal of continuous personal supervision to this public worK.

lie nas kept an ever vigilant eye upon expenditures. No 'Tings" have controlled or cormptioniste fattened on the building, aud it is believed every dollar spent in its construction has a representative in ihe material of the handsome-pile, which is the greatest monument Mr. ansa tit win leave to the purity or his adminis tration. The building, 'ground and furniture. whea fully completed, will not exceed a cost of $2,500,000, if that much, while in other cities similar buildings of less magnificence have cost as much again.
