IS the well-considered opinion of the Louisville "Ledger," an able organ of the simon pure Democracy, that "those who are felicitating themselves upon theidea that the Democratic party of the United States will debauch itself in the convention next year, by incorporating the acceptance of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments into the Presidential platform, m$y make up their minds to surrender or leave.

Morse, of Salem, Mass. Treasurer, Wm. S. Vaux, of Piffle adelphia, Pa. auditing committee, ffiik Eustis ahd'Wh^tttfand of Mass.

Prof. E. F. Cox announced that arrangement? have been m«^de tor to morrow's excursion, the party to pass .directly, to the Mammoth Cave, instead of stopping on the way lit flew Albany, as was at first contemplated. The excursion train leaves here to-morrow morning at :50 o'clock.

Prof. T. Sterry Hunt stated that superficial1 changes arecontinually going on in the region of Niagara Falls, gradually changing the outline of the Falls, and in view of this fact submitted the following resolution, which was adopted:

Resolved, That the important changes going on in the surface geology of^Nisga ra Falls ar».such, that it is highly desirable that a re-survey of the Falls should be made, the old monuments restoried, new ones erected, iand large photographs of the locality be taken And /urthpr, that in pursuance of this plan lb* Legislature of New Ybrtc bcmtemorialized to order such,*purvey be made..

Dr. Hunt named the following'as art* appropriate committee on memorializing th^-New^, York Legislature: F. A. P. -fiahrtrdj-Chairman, Chas. P. Daily, Prof.

W. H. Halley, Prof, James Hall and Sir W. E. liOgan, of Canada, inasmuch as Canada 'is interested with the State of Nqw York. in the preservation of these mpqumenta. A resolution was ad6pted that a committee of five be appointed to report at the next meeting of the association on ahe best methods of organizing' and con dQcting State geological surveys, and making publication of the results. Professors Swallow, Hall, Newbury, Win phell and Hunt, were appointed such committee. The general session^ then adjourned to meet in sections. -'SECTION B.—Prof. James Hall sub» milled his remarks on the Catskill red sandstone group, as it occurs on the borders of Pennsylvania, which gave rise to a brief discufeion, part*oipated in by

ProS.^ Swallow- and Cope» Prof. Hall closing. The President of the Association, Prof. Asa Gray, read a paper forwarded by Mr. Renas Davis, a farmer of New Hampshire, entitled "A Theory on the Nature of the difference in the Mental Capacity of High and Low Races of Men." Prof. Gray remarked that it ^ris remarkable that such a paper, though somewhat erratic, should originate from such a source. The theory sought to be demonstrated, in this: That all the properties or thing we call mind, in contradistinction from matter, exists in plants, hence the greater variety of plants represented in a person the greater will his mental capacity be. The variety of planls "I person may edt ih his own life time will have but a small percentage of effect on himself, but it comes by inheritance. The number of ancestors a person has had in the-list twenty-five or thirty generations, and the variety of food those ancestors have eaten determines his mental papaciity. W

The author sent with his manuscripts several well executed and very neat looking drawings, in explanation of his ideas of the subject treated. Prof. Morse thought it might as well be claimed that the wearing of a certain kind of clothing would enhance the races as well. j.

Prof. Richard Owen and Mr. Ferguson spoke of the baneful influence of the intermarriage of blood relations, and t&en Prof. Hilgard submitted some remarks on the organic identity of the albumen and endopleura of seeds. When he had concluded, the next paper in the course was by Prof. R. R. Hay, on the ^Embryology' of Ambystonia Lurida of Sager," followed by Pro?. Swallow's remarks on the snow line, and temperature of Montana, who said, *'as our time is nearly exhausted, I will simply state that the snow line in the main r*nge of the Rocky Mountains appears to rise from a point north of the Pacific Railroad, to the central portion of Montana, and then falls to the north.

But this snow line appears to fall to the east, and to the west of the main range, as shown in the belt and Besir Paw mountains on the east, agd the Bitter Root and other mountains to the west. But little snow falls in the central valleys of Montana, and in the Deer Lodge Pass not more than -*wo or three inches fell at any one time during the winters of 1868 and 1869 and 1870. No reasons yet given seem to he sufficient to account for, the high temperature of ,this portion of the Rocky Mountains^ -"The warm winds from the coast, the high warm plains around these mountains, the numerous hot springs of thiB region, either* singly or combined, do pot appear sufficient to produce the effects observed," The following papers were read by Prof. Andrew, entitled "Some Observations on the St*t4igraphy and Geolcgy Of Ohio," by Prof. McCausney "Notice of Tentiara ry Insects found by F. A. C. Richardson on Green River, Wyoming."

SECTION A. Dr. James G. Rogers read

Trnt-to tHiltP*

a paper on "Steam Boiler Water and Incrustation." Papers were also read by T. Starry Hunt, on the oil wells of Terre Haute. By Prof. Tingley, an acconnt of a dust storm which occurred in Clinton county, Ind. A number of other papers were also read in this section on various subjects. The last meeting of the general session was held to-night. A committee of arrangements for the next air nnal convention, consisting of Prof. J. Lawrence Smith, of Louisville, J. D. Whitney, of California, and O. C. March, of Yale College, was appointed.

jvS. NEW PHASE IN THE IMPORTING TRADE. CHICAGO, August 22.—The Tribune this morning calls attention to a ney phase in the Chicago importing tradef which has been recently developed. This-. is the bringing of goods from Europe via Montreal, landing them direct at our wharves without previous overhauling.

Sevetal of our heaviest merchants hd*9 Adopted this channel of trade, which pfomisfei to grow rapidly by reason of its success. A propeller laden with dry goods, which left Liverpool on the 29th of July, arrived in port yesterday, that ih twenty-tw6 days after the goods- left a European port they will be in the warehouse of the. importer. ThLj is much fui£ker' time than can be depended upon in importing via New York, where goods, besides being subjected- to outrageous charges, are usually detained from ten to twenty days in a Custom House, in addition to twelve days or more on the ocean, and three to seven days on railroads, with high charges /or transportation, This independent mode of importing is working well. The only fear is that New York interests will become so seriously alarmed at the threatened loss of this source of levies that they will offer better inducemente for a time, and flatter our merchants into renewal of their fealty to the old system. What is wanted now is. a complete concentration of commercial, independence, and no taking it back, --j,

WiLl/IAMSPORT, Aug. 21.—'The fire last night was one of the most destrdctiye that ever occurred in the city. The wind caused the fire to spread fearfully, plac" ing it for a time beyond the control of the fire department. All the buildings on Black Horse Alley, between Midburg and Third streets, were totally destroyed, including the store of Wellbush & Keilman, and the extensive paper warehouse of Harrison, Gibson'A Co. The following buildings were nearly all with contents also destroyed: Isadora Sampson's millinery store, James Clark's fancy store and dwelling bouse, T. S. Boles grocery and dwelling house, P. A.

The Mulberry M. E. Church was burned so that there was nothing left but the bare walls. Nearly all the furniture and clothing of the occupants of the dwellings, and the goods of store keepers were entirely destroyed. Many of the householders lost everything but the clothes they had on. Citizens generally proffered the use of their dwellings to those who had been rendered homeless. The total loss is estimated at $225,000, on which there is an insurance of $135,000.

Since that time McClosky has been appointed a policeman, and there has been a feud between him and the Texans, which culminated in a general fight on Saturday evening, in which McClosky and another Texan were killed, two others mortally, and four seriously wounded. There is but little law in that region, and more trouble is anticipated. The Texan cattle drovers congregate there in great numbers.
