Mr.. Greeley's fresh blast of three columns
against the Radical faction led by Conkling
and Murphy in the interest of U. S. Grant, has
spread CONSERVATION down at the custom
house. In this article, Mr.. Greeley exhibits
the determination to fight his opponents In the
Radical ranks to the bitter end, even though
the party in the State is disrupted by 1t. The
severity OF his language will undoubtedly call
for a retort in kind from the adverse faction,
ana thus the war will continue, until it culmi-
mates in grand ';scrlmmage" at the Syracuse
Convention.
The Fenton and Greeley Radicals are ex-
ceedingy bitter in their feelings against
Grant. have heard so OF them talk about
him recently and l assure you they use ex-
pressions which no respectable Democrat
would allow to fall from his lips In reference
to President OF the United States. The old
saying is verified. that family quarrels are the
most viruIent. The movement l wrote OF
some time ago. to prevent the renomlnation
of Grant in the Radical National Convention,
Is being actively prosecuted. 1t is now known
that both Generals Hawley and Pleasanton are
opposed to Grant, and their influence Witn

Across the river there Is an interesting

New Jersey. Both party conventions meet
this month, and do not exaggerate when 1

be attended with some rioting, and the State

The movement started by the respectable
Italians of New York to discourage organ
grinding in the streets Is very popular. the
Saturday night was postponed, as committee
which has in hand plan for the employment
of indecent Italians was not yet reaoy 10 re-
port. But strong effort will be made TO per,
suade the sunny sons of the Peninsula TO sell
their monkeys to the menagerie men and
abandon their vagabondish ways. The organ
grinders are getting to be an intolerable
nuisance. They are so numerous that
neighborhoods that would otherwise be
quiet and orderly ys,e,. are faVSrea VS two with IN
three at a time, driving the sick, the nervous
and the musicaly educated to the verge OF
madness. Besides the Italians there are
large number of veteran soldiers from the late
armies of the Potomac and James who have
adopted this atrocious form OF 6eggary ior
livelihood. 1t is a scandal to the United States
army, that her heroes should be permitted -
depend on the casual pence OF passers by. and
make themselves the terror Of the fellow
creatures.
The programme of the coming italian opera
season In New York was published this morn
ing. A word about it will be of interest to
Charleston readers. as the troupe Will un-
doubtedly make tour of the States, after the
close OF the season here. The heaviest gem
of course will be Nilsson, who will appear IN
opera for the first time In this country. All
her work hitherto, since she came over the
water. has been in concert and oratorio. The
managers, who are the two brothers Strakosch,
will produce Ambrose Thomass Hamlet espe-
cialy for Miss Nilsson, as her Ophela Is
thought to be her best part among inc otner ie,,
singers In tne ea,a eggs tsner 1, Dn.
val, the prima donna from Covent Garden;
Miss Cary the contralto, who accompanied
Nilsson in her concerts; the inevitable ont
aRgays acceptable Brignoll; Lyall, bufo
singer; Barbe and Randolph, haritones, and
Janiart, the French basso. Max Maretzek will
have charge of the instrumental department;
Maurice SIrakosch will remain In Europe and
send over other celebrities during the season.
italian opera has been under cloud In New
York for the past five years. 1t has ruined
every manager who has undertaken 1t. if any
body can save manager and re-establish the
reputation of New York as lrstclass musi-
cal Qa1y, it is Nilsson OF course. NYM.
