MR.. EDITOR: see by the PHOENIX. of
the 25th instant, that my name is includ-
cd in the list of delegates to the Louis
vile Democratic Convention. AS, in
my opinion, the salvation of the country
depends upon civil government and an
honest Administration being substituted
for the present military rule and corrupt
Administration, I approve of no move
ment that endanRers the election OF
Horace Greeley. Respectfully,
JAMES 81. RION.

The New YORK STATE CAMPAIGN
Commenting upon the nomination OF
Cen. John A. Dix for Governor by the
New York State Republican Convention,
the Times, the Tribune and the Herald
each express the opinion that it is the
strongest nomination that could have
been made by the Republicans. The
IIorld says that the resolution of the
State Republican Convention inviting
Democratic votes, and the nomination
Of Gen. Dix as o candidate for Governor,
amount to an abjeot appeal for Demo.
cratic assistance. It says that there
never was worse beaten ticket than this
one will be, headed by General Dix, on
the false pretense that he is Democrat.

dignantly, like true citizen. He would
have acted moro like true citizen, if he
had gone Immediately to Trial Justice
and had the rascal who proHfered him the
bribe arrested.
There is one feature about the Orr
movement which especially should cause
our people to hold aloof for awhile, any.
way, and await further developments.
1t is manifestly in the interest of Grant.
In it are Judge Orr, United States Soma
tor Sawyer, Geo. W. Clarke, Collector
of Customs at Charleston, Trott, the
Postmaster, and last, but not least,
Major Lewis Merrill, the military pro-
secutor of the Ku Klux, and hitherto un-
known to political fame. These men are
par excellence Grants henchmen in South
Carolina. and are, doubtless, acting in
accordance with the wishes, and, per-
haps, the counsels, of the Admnistra-
ton. The suspicion Immediately arises,
is the Orr movement bona Jide thing,
or mere sham to relieve the Admins
tration, by making show OF opposition
to the odium of ticket headed by r. J.
Moses? General Grants past record as
President of the United States gives us
no assurance that good government in
South Carolina is more to him than a
stump of an old Cigar, except 80 far as it
may effect his chances of reelection.
There needs but q positive manifestation
of Grants will in the premises to insure
the election of either Moses or Tomlin-
son, for as he desires SO will the negroes
go. If, the Administration does not
really countenanoe and support the Orr
ties, their movement will have no force,
except what may be given it by rash
endorsement on the part of the white
people.
We may thus be inveigled into ns-
sisting Grant indirectly in the Presi-
Dental election, and find ourselves sad.
died at last with Moses for Governor for
the next two years, as recompense for
our very valuable services to his Excel
lency Ulysses s. Grant. If Grant will
indeed use his influence to give us more
tolerable Government in the State, we
should certainly accept it, regardless of
the motives which may have prompted
him. but being careful, nevertheless, to
address our thanks, where they are main
ly due, to Horace Greeley and the Libe-
raj Republican movement.

DOUBLE MURDER. The Charlotte O6-
seroer says:
A friend writing from Harrisburg
Depot informs us of O terrible tragedy
which was enacted near that place on
Friday:
To-day We had in three miles OF this
place tragedy that is beyond anything
that I have seen recorded. Robert
Scruggs bad lost some cattle, and found
them near Mrs. Kimmons', some days
ago, and drove them home, and one Of
the young cattle went back. Scruggs
took with him to prove the mark, James
McCommons and j. A. Osburn, and to
identify the calf; and while Scruggs was
talking to Mrs. Kimmons, her son, Bray
nard, came up and shot Robert Soruggs
and James MoOommon dead. Those
present got out OF the way, or they. too,
would have been shot. The young man
who done the shooting is not considered
sane. He has been arrested, and will be
sent to Concord Jail.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE PuGN1x: In
your issue of Sunday, you spoke of R.
Fl. Glenves. of Beaufort, the nominee of
the regular Republican Convention for
Lieutenant. Governor, as pardoned con.
vict. Suoh is not the case. He was
convicted before the United States Court
in Charleston, Of the crime of falsifying
election returns while acting as Commits
sioner of Election. He had two part
ners in his crime, Langley and Williams.
Upon their first trial there was failure
to agree. On the second trial all were
convicted. A motion was then made for
o new trial, which was denied as to Will
liams and Langley, but granted as to
Gleaves. District Attorney Corbin
thereupon entered nol pros. in the
case of Gleaves. Williams and Langley
served out great portion of their sen.
tence, and were finally pardoned by the
President. Gleaves may. therefore, be
prosecuted again, should any new cvi.
dence be brought to light. The Govern.
or has just appointed him as Commits
sioner of Election for the ensning year
for Beaufort County. WITNESS.

Cosr OF COLLECTING IFTERKAL REvE-
NUE.-In the eight Southern States of
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Ca
rolina and Texas. (says the Philadelphia
Age.) the per centage of cost on the
amount of revenue collected is fraction
over 18L, while in eight Northern
States, where the revenue is collected by
respectable residents, instead of import
ed adventurers. the per ceniage on the
COST Of collection is fraction less than
31a. The 19N per cent. fellows are all
for Grant, OF course. as he will keep them
in place to still further rob and plunder

PoIITIoAL JoTT1Nas. Grant had
been President one year, Gerritt Smith
wrote to Wendell Phillips: "He is a
man so utterly unfit for the place that it
amazes me how lie could have secured it,"
/: A $4,000 bet has been made in Du-
buque, Iowa. which was made up as fol-
lows: 500 on every State in the Union
except Florida. $1,000 that General
Grant will not get the votes of three
States in tho electoral college, and $4OO
that Grant will not carry ten States.
Advices from Oregon of recent date
to tho Liberal Campaign Committee are
to the effect that Greeley will unques.
tionnbly receive the electoral vote of
that State. The railroad influences in
that locality will remain neutral in the
struggle. 80 far as the Presidency is con-
cerned, and only exert their strength in
behalf of the United States Senator.
One by one the prominent men who
think that Greeley's election will kill the
financial prosperity OF the country are
being heard of. The last one is Mr.
Collins, Pension Agent at Washington,
His defnlcation is nearly $1O0, 1000.

EDITOR OF PHGNIx-DEAn Sir: You
will oblige me by publishing the follow.
ling communication, which was handed
to the Union, but publication was re.
fused:
COLUMBIA, August 26. 1872.
10 THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY UNION
The Court House Convention claim to
support U. s. Grant for the Presidency
in opposition to Horace Greeley. Now,
Mr.. Editor, claim that the gentleme en-
composing that little clique Of sore.
headed politicians ought to be consist
ent, and go the "whole hog" or none.
But why should men who claim to be
Republicans vote for Reuben Tomlinson
for Governor. and at the same time op.
pose Mr.. Greeley for the Presidency
MIR. Greeley is certainly jnst rs gooI II
Republican as Reuben Tom!inson, and
both were nominated by sore heads. pro-
fessedly in opposition to corruption, and
both, If elected, must necessarily he
elected by Democratic votes. The bolt.
ers may say, las, indeed, they have al
ready said,) that they cannot vote for
Greeley, because his election depends on
Democratic votes; but does not the elec.
ton of Mr.. Tomlinson depend on the
same party? The truth is, that neither
MIR. Greeley nor Mr.. Tomlinson can be
elected, unless the Democratic party vote
en- nadSSe for them, and both. If elected,
aoiA be controlled by Democratic influence
Then why stop at Tomlinson? Be con.
sistent, gentlemen; the Rubioon is
passed, and you ought, therefore. to 20
to Greeley. j.. s. LANGLEY.

naonnxenient Etiquette.

A professor in one of our Western
colleges, whose bodily presence was weak
but who, having tall spirit was deter
mined to bate no inch of the respect due
to his office or himself, disappearing al
so of the lax conventionality of the from
tier, requested the students whenever
they should meet DIR. H., their friend
and their professor, to take off their hats.
This enactment did not suit the Western
temper, and stirred slightly the Western
pulse. No remonstrance, however, was
offered, and the Doctor, who had been
visited by misgivings as to the result
breathed freely, felt that the rough point
was rounded, and felicitated himself up
on his frmness.
Returning one evening from supper
party, in unusually genial mood, DIR. H..
assembled the long fight of stone steps
leading to his rooms. When about half
way up he deserted Mr.. G. from St.
Paul coming down, both arms clasped
round bundle of kindling wood. As
he drew near the Doctor uttered his
bland "good evening"" (the rising Eng
fish infection managed to nicety)
touching his hat as he spoke. The Min
nesotian returned the salute de rigueur,
unloosing, as did so, the fatal faggots
with a fall like thunder Hop, skip and
Jump could not save the unfortunate
Doctor, when, sent surely by his evil ge-
MUS, at this moment who should appear
upon the scene but Captain K. the one
armed hero from Wisconsin, striding
rapidly down with his Saturday nights
pail of hot water.
Because his friend was in grief should
he pass by him p Beholding his chief,
for the moment stripped of Office, caper-
ing upon the stairs should he refuse to
salute him2 He, to whom regulation"
was both law and instinct? Never
and his faithful left sought his hat,
away went the pail bump! thump !

"Confound you both, roared the un-
fortunate recipient of college honors

Hot water is known to be emollient.
1t may have expediated the doctors re-
covery. Certain it is that after few
days seclusion, during which there came
frequent puffs of camphor, and opodel-
doc from his quiet room, and " like horns
from Elfland family blowing" the echo
of much din and ghostly laughter from
distant halls and corridors, the professor
again stood before his class. There was
something in his whole air and deport-
ment as new to him as to them-some-
thing suggesting not exactly defeat, but
rather Neutrality-suspicious. or as
there described, /" Unstarched, by Jove

Poison OF LEAD PIPEs.-Scientife
research has at length determined the
following practical facts:
First. For at least one month after
the pipes are laid, no water from them
should be used for purposes of drinking
or cooking.
Second. If the water contains lime
(carbonate) to the extent of four grains
in gallon, the pipes are not acted upon
by water passing through lead pipes.
To know the quantity of lime contain
ed in water, boil u gallon until it has dis.
appeared, and weigh the remnant. Il
you blow through quill or rye straw in.
to glass of water it becomes of milky
color if there is lime in it.
If the water is soft, it forms on the in.
side Of the lead pipes coating, called
the oxide of lead, which coating more
efectually prevents the decomposition o.
the lead beyond it than coating of tir
or zinc, and costs nothing. Halls Jour

A good anecdote is related of DIR.
Rice, which enforces its own lesson
When he was at the head of the Theo-
logical Seminary in Prince Edward, one
of the out parishes of Virginia sent to
him for minister. They as usual in
such cases, wanted scholar, gentle.
man, an orator, pastor, fine writer
in short, perfect minister. They had
formerly given $3.50 per annum; but
now, if they could get such a man as
they wanted, they could raise it to $500
The Doctor answered by telling them to
send to heaven for DIR. Dwight. He was
the only such man he knew; and as he
had been living good while on spirit.
ual food he might possibly live on foul
hundred dollars.
