The Rising Tide.

1t was asserted in the Chicago Con-
vention, by Ex-Governor Brown, that a
large number of original secessionists
and Southern Democrats would vote for
Grant. Judging from the tone of their
comments on the nominations, a large
number of Northern Democrats will un-
questionablysupport them from financial
considerations alone. On Friday after
noon, says the New York Commercial,
q prominent leader of the party on Long
Island said to group of his friends who
were in company with him on the James
Slip ferry-boat: 81 shall vote for Grant.
lam satisfied that the Western repudia-
tionists have got such strong hold that
they will force Pendleton on the Con-
vention or bolt, as did the Breckenridge
men.in 1860. Neither nor any of the
bondholders here at the East will stand
to their demands" We expect, contin-
ues the Commercial, soon TO announce
the beginning of regular stampede
from the pYrty which has already be-
come known and recognized as the party
OF reputation, no matter who may be
put In nomination.

A Cali Upon Mr.. pendis,on.

Mr.. Pendleton's friends say that the
West will como up 10 the Democratic
Convention in July In such force that
his nomination will be secure. We
doubt IL Mr.. Pendleton can get two
thirds vote; but should he be able 10 OBJ
tain that, what would be the use? The
people Of this country are not prepared
to ignore the principles and results of
the war, which are so fresh in their
minds, and Er. Pendleton, who stands
in direct antagonisrn TO these, would be
defeated. The question is, then, will
MIR. Pendleton DO wise enough, and
have patriotism enough, 70 forego ,the
barren honor of nomination., for the
sake of the country, the Democratic
party, and the defeat of the Jacobin rad
ical party?
We call upon him, therefore, to with
draw as candidate and come out frank
ly for nominees that can carry the cleo
tion. Chief Justice Chase and General
at the present time. Mr.. Chase Is an
able statesman, and since the slavery
question has been settled, comes nearest
to the conservative sentiment of the
country and the platform which the
new national democratic party ought 10
stand on. General Dix, who represents
fully the war democracy and who patrl-
otically declared that the first man
should be shot on the spot who hauled
down the national flag, would be
popular candidate associated with MIR.
Chase. II isjust the ticket to win and TO
give assurance of an able and conserva-
tive government. What does Mr.. Pen
dleton cay? VIII he forcgo the barren
honor of being candidate for the sake
of the country and the success of the new
national democratic party Y. Herr

The editor of The Griffin Star, after
paying visit TO Upson county, gives
the following account of a great natural
curiosity in Georgia:
The first grand point of interest was
the famous laundering Springs, located
in the northern part ofthe county, about
twelve miles from Thomaston. We eX-
pected to find quite curiosity, but were
completely amazed to find so remarkable
freak of mother nature as this spring.
1t is located in the widest part of tho
mountains extending through the coun-
ty, and there in the solitude of the will
derness presents most remarkf ble piIe~
nomenon. The dimensions of the spring
proper are about five feet in diameter,
and of an unknown depth, for expert
menters have repeatedly sounded its
depth in vain, and 10 bottom can be
reached. The water beils up with great
force; bubbles of gas constantly rise up
through the water, and explode at the
surface. This gas is highly combustible
and is frequently set on fire as it makes
its escape. Such is the force with which
the water rises that human body can
not sink, but is buoyed up in standing
position. 1t is a famous bathing place,
and we took the first opportunity to
plunge into this bOttomless well. There
we could stand upright for hours, with
nothing TO support us but water. The
earth around the spring is n beautiful
white sand, of very Gns grein,. givisg
away readily at the touch of the foot,
but Immediately rtforming as before
The walls OF the well are perfectly SYM
metricsl, as if dug by the hands of man.
As low down as we could reach with
our foot, we could kick = hole in the
wall, and as soon as the foot was remov-
ed, the wall would Immediately reform
as before. The temperature is delight
ful, and the waters are invaluable, cs-
pecially for diseases of the skin and
blood. The spring constantly makes n
low, rumbling noise, from which it de-
Tives its name.

Mob Law In Democratic Kentucky.

The Frankfort Commonwealth, of the
30th ult., says:
On Sunday night last, man named
Samuel Davis, Jr., who was confined in
the Mercer County Jail ON a charge of
counterfeiting, was taken therefrom by
&C body of Regulators (said to be sup
pressed by Col. Wolford) and hung q
short distance from Harrodsburg on The
Lexington turnpike. This man Davis
was at one time in the Fendral army. A
number of other prisoners in the jail, on
charges Of murder, &C., were not disturb
ed. Regulators" have for some time
past been operating in Mercer, Lincoln
and Garrard counties, whipping men for
various alleged offences and otherwise
executing such extra-judicial punish
ment as seemed to them agreeable. Such
is the nature of the administration under
which we now live that such things oc-
cur under the nose Of Gov. Stevenson,
and the perpetrators are undisturbed.-
And so they will continue until q law
executing executive is put in the office
he now holds. 1t is useless to say 1t
can't be helped. 1t can he helped If
Democratic officials who hold the reins
Of authority in this State will do their

Celered Men as Voters I'm the Southern
States.
The Albany lGeorgia), News, a DEM
ocratic journal, wrote after the recent
election in Georgia, and the Atlanta In
telligencer, another Democratic journal,
copied without n sign Of disapprovaI, the
following reflections upon the results Of
this first election in that State In which
the colored men voted:
Early in the canvass we appealed TO
the white people OF Middle and Upper
Georgia to save Southern and South
western Georgia from the horrible fate
that threatened. Heavy majorities for
radicalism were naturally expected from
the black belt,' and for the same reasons
that induced this conviction, the white
settlements were expected to 60 Demo-
cratic. We are astonished at the reversal
of this natural order of things, and feel
so keenly the deep disgrace and stingirg
humiliation, that we dare not indulge
our inclination to write"
At one time we entertained purpose
! to change our base, in the event of radi-
cal success, and seek repose among the
white people in different portion of the
State; but the developments of the cleo
tion have fastened upon our mind the
conviction that the negro is better man
than the white scalawag, and that we
| to be as much political Uiytue and intea-
rity among the colored people Of Southern
Georgia, as erists among q large portion
| of faOhiteS in Middle and Upper Georgia,
and we proudly assert that they are safer
| cestodidns of the franchise. We see no
reason longer to oppose negro sufrdge.-
We are disposed to make him voter in
order to rescue the State from carpet
baggers and scalawags.
A Considerable number of white Geor-
gIans, it seems, voted the Republican
ticket, says the New York Post, while a
number of the blacks voted with the
Democrats; and thereupon follow these
words of the Democratic writer. 1t
would seem then, that the trus qualifi-
cation for voter is that he shall vote the
Democratic ticket
But the admission of the Albany News
is important, because it shows that in
Georgia the two parties are already di-
vided upon other issues than that Of
color.
