PREc0UTY AND GENIUS UNDER DIFFICUL.
TIEs.-On Tuesday evening last boy of about
twelve years OF age, with ragged clothing, but
an earnest, quiet face, was seen in Wall street.
New YORK, surrounded by large crowd. He
had marked on the sidewalk with chalk lines
making square of five feet. In the centre
he was drawing picture of Horace Greeley,
his drawing tools being white and red chalks
and charcoal. he began at the head. and
made a recognizable portrait of the great far
mer, with his spectacles on his nose. Contin-
ture of DR.. Greeley, representing him reading
the Tribune. The cheeks were shaded with
red, the folds of the garments naturally
touched up with white and black. and when
he had finished there was on the sidewalk a
picture that would have done credit TO an
older aud more practiced hand. When he had
concluded he passed his ragged CAP around in
side the circle, reaping guile harvest in scrip
and pennies.

TERRIBLE MURDER IN ATLANTA.

The City of Atlanta was greatly excited last
Saturday evening over the killing of Mr.. Frank
Phillips, OF the grocery firm of Phillips &
McCandess, by q gambler named Mllt. Ma
lone. The difficulty grew out of rivalry be.
tween the two, In which woman was con-
cerned. Phillips was 10 company OF several
of his friends on Decatur street, when the
conversation took place which eliminated In
the homicide. From the evidence obtained,
It. appears that Malone contemplated murder
when he approached Phillips. The latter was
unarmed and made no show Of desiring an
altercation, Malone brandlshing his pistol, ex-
claiming that he would shoot Phillips, which
he did, tring two shots, one passing through
his heart and the other through his side. Phil
lips, who lived but few minutes after being
shot, was only about nineteen years OF age,
and was highly esteemed as clever, industri-
Gus and orderly young man. The popular
feeling In the community runs strongly against
Malone, who has given himself up aud is now
In custody.

JEHERS0N C1TY, August B.
.Gentlemen ofthe Commit ftee Il have the honor
Gallon advising me that P had been mani.
mously nominated as. p candidate for The
Vice Presidency of the United States at Baltl-
more. For this mark of confidence on the
part of so large a representative body OF my
fellOw-cItIzeps, cannot too deeply express my
gratitude. The distinction Is one which feel
10 be In great measure undeserved, where 80
many more suitable could have been found:
and yet, shoud yonr action 1e confirmed,
shall endeayar 70 discharge the duties OF tnat
higkepace With fidelity to your trust with
devotion TO the public interest, and with the
inf1exible resolution to prove not unworthy OF
such choice. The<isct that 1t reP4ses also
upon the declaration of principles affirmed by
the Liberal Republicans at Cincinnati and was
proclaimed Without amendment BY the Demo-
cratic party of Baltimore gives assurance that
In this combined expression there is sought
only the deliverance OF the nation from o
present great peril to Its peace and liberties.
To that end all minor. considerations have been
suoordinated and n illustration presented to
the country of unsei6sh patriotism rather than
any stckllng for party advantage, which
should convince all oil the perfect sincerity OF
this movement.
It has involved no surrendeEon either part
of any former Convictions: Il has not been
negotiated or bArgalned Its origin was from
ihe people. Though differing IN the past 10
some issues OF great magnitude, yet, now That
they are settled, there ia hearty concurrence
between us upon all vital questions agflat!ng
the public mind. What conduct of national
affairs that involves your convention has well
set forth in its platio4m, and its true accord
with the Democratic ideas that guided. an ear.
Fer administration is the. best guaranty that II
will restore equal rights, tranquility, develop.
.ment and constitutional rule.
express my thanks to the great masses OF your
party. which has sinN raNfed this acllon With
such signal unanimlly, and to say to them that
In accepting this, thelr nominatioD,r1 do SO
believing their ls nothing In honor Or con;
science that should pEsyent the most cordia!
cooperation henceford In behalf of politics
presented.
In concluding, u ls. proper to state that
severe illness has iaterveued since the recep.
ton OF your communication, which has de-
layedrhis reply until my recovery and return
home. With very great respect, yours truly
