MFR. Greeley's Acceptance OF the Democra.
tic Nomination.

W1rs Oreekey'S Acceptance OF the DcmOCFh@
tic Nomination.
The committee appointed by the late Ma
tioDal Democratic Convention to inform Mr..
Greeley of his nomination by that conven-
ton, headed by Senator Doolittle, walked
from their meeting room at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, on the 18th instant, to the
Lincoln Club House, where Mr.. Greeley was
awaiting them. Mr.. Doolittle, as chairman
Of the committee. having presented a letter
formally notifying Mr.. Greeley of his nomi-
nation for the Presidency, introduced individ-
ually to him the members of the committee
Mr.. Greeley then addressed the committee as
follows: .<i-F =
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the CON-
nsittee Of the Conuention should require
time and consideration to reply fifty to the
very important and, I need not say, gratif,
ing communication that you have presented
to me. 1t may be that should present in
writing some reply to this. However, as ]
addressed the Liberal Convention of Cincin-
natl in letter somewhat widely considered
it is, perhaps, unnecessary that should make
any formal reply to the communication made
other than to say / accept your nomination
and accept gratefully with it the spirit in
which it has been presented My position is
one which many would consider proud one
which, at the same time, is embarrassing, be.

not only the disinterestedness, but the patriot

as has so unexpectedly to me been bestowed
upon me. feel certain that time and in thu
good providence of God, an opportunity viii
be afforded me to show that, while you ir

The Saratoga Races---A Successful Mary
land HOrse---Great Race Between Bas-
sett and LOngfe low.
SARATOGA, July 16.-The attendance at the
races to-day was large. The excitement is i'm
mense on account of the Longfellow-Bassett
race. The first race was for the Saratoga
stakes, for two-year olds, $50 entrance, p. p,
500 added, three-quarters of mile. There
were forty-two nominations; eleven started
Reveller, Count d. Orsay, and Springbok were
the favorites. A number ofsfalse starts were
made before the horses got away. The race
was won by Governor Bowie's b. C. Catesby,
by one length F. Morris colt by Eclipse, sec
ond and Electra third. Time l:l73.
The Saratoga Cup, two and a quarter miles,
was won by Harry Bassett, beating Longfellow
Time-3:59. Harry Bassett won by a length
The betting at the start was $500 on Longfel-
low to $3.50 against Harry Bassett.
The start for the cup took place at the head
of the stretch. For the first quarter Harry Bas-
sett led Longfellow one length as they com.
menced the two miles, Defender was four lengths
behind and, never after in the race. Longfel
low from the quarter turn to the finish ran lap
ped on Bassett, but only reached Bassett' head
on commencing the last mile, finally being
beaten out but one length after running one OIL
the gamest races known and in remarkably
short time. 1t is said Longfellow was badly
cut in the leg from one of his plates turning.
The third race, for purse of $500, one and
half miles, for three-year olds, the winners OF
the Belmont, Ladies', and Travers stakes ex-
cluded was run in. fine style, and nearly all the
way side and side by Piedmont, Buckden and
Jury, Grey Planet laying back long distance
till turning into the home-stretch for the run
in, when after very fine burst of speed be-
tween Buckden and Grey Planet, the latter sue
ceeded in crossing the score head-and-head with
Buckden, the judges declaring it head heat
Jury third, Piedmont fourth and trotting in.
Time, 2:423.
1t is the opinion of racing men that Long
fellow will never run race again, although he
will be most valuable in the stud. During his
running to-day for the cup one of his plates
twisted round and cut his other foot and leg
badly. The plate was broken in two and the
leg disabled, yet Longfellow gallantly ran the
race out, to the wonder of all racing men.

Midsummer NIaladies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvests
generate many distressing diseases. If the
liver be at all predisposed to Irregularities, this
is the season in which bilious attacks may be
anticipated. A weak stomach, too, is weakest
in the summer months, and the loss of vitality
through the pores by excessive perspiration is
so great that wholesome tonic, combining
also the properties of diffusive stimulant and
gentle exhilarant, is in many cases necessary
to health, and under no circumstances should
be dispensed with by the sickly and debilitat-
ed. Of all the preparations intended thus to
refresh, sustain and fortify the human frame,
there is nonethat will compare with Hostetter's

Celebrated Stomach Bitters. They have been
weighed in the balance of experience and not
found wanting; have been recommended from
the first as great medicinal specific, not as a
beverage, and in spite of interested opposition
from innumerable quarters, stand, after TWEEN
ty years trial, at the head OF all proprietary
medicines intended for the prevention and cure
of all ordinary complaints of the stomach, the
liver, the bowels and the nerves. In the I'M
healthy districts bordering the great rivers OF
California, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be
classed as the standard one for every species OF
intermittent or remittent fever. The people
who inhabit those districts, place the most i'm
plicit confidence in the PREPARATION conf
dence that is increased every year by the re-
suits of its operation.
As bitters, so called, of the most pernicious
character, are springing up like fungi on every
side, the public is hereby forewarned against
the dram-shop frauds. Ask for Hostetters
Bitters, see that the label, ETC.. correct, and
remember that the genuine ARTICLES never sold
in bulk, but in bottles only.

On Everybody's Ongue.--Eulogiums
of the great National Regeneration of Health,
Plantation Bitters, are on everybodys tongue.
This gratuitous UiUa Uoce advertising is better
than all the paid-for putting to which the own
ers of bogus bitters are obliged to resort. 1t
has spontaneous heartiness about it which
carries conviction to the mind of the auditor.
But it is well known fact that the proprietors
of the Plantation Bitters have never relied upon
newspaper bolstering to establish the success
of a preparation which owes its astonishing
popularity mainly to the oral testimony of the
thousands who have either experienced or been
the eyewitness of the immense physical good
it has wrought throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

False Report.

We understand that on Monday last, in a
certain section of the county, it was reported
that case of small pox existed in Port Tobacco.
This report we emphatically deny, and posi-
lively assert that there is not the slightest
foundation for it. We cannot imagine how
the report originated, as there has been no sick
ness Of any kind in town this summer, except
two or three slight attacks of bilious fever
Our town is now as healthy as any other in
lower Maryland. We hope the rumor was not

jure the business of the place.

RALEIGH, July 1L-Samuel G. Ross, col
ored Marshal at the Greeley and Brown ratif-
cation meeting yesterday was attacked by an
Infatuated mob of eolored men and beaten on
Fayetteville street last night. He sought pro-
lection at the police headquarters, where he re-
manned for more than an hour In his retreat
he knocked down three of his assailants, which
enabled him to reach the. police headquarters
in safety. He left the station about ten o'clock
for his home on Hillsboro' street, and since
then has not been seen or heard of. Fears are
entertained that he has been foully dealt with.
Simon B. Craven, who was also colored
Marshal on yesterday, and delegate to the
Cincinnati Convention, was assaulted at his
residence and his life threatened, his assailants
charging him with being Greeleyite and a
Liberal Republican. The United States Com
missioner has issued warrant for the arrest OF
the parties in the Craven case. The trial was
postponed until ten O'Clock tomorrow.

eli Perkins" gives the following account
of an interview with John Harper, the
owner of LOngfellOw, on the day of the
great race
The venerable, silver-haired Uncle John
was sitting in big arm chair under an
apple tree, about ten rods from the track.
In front of him his sharp gray eye rested
upon his pet, while all around him was a
group of weather-beaten Kentuckians.
They were professional hOrse-racers; men
who came out to the track in the early
morning with stop watches in their hands
and white handkerchiefs around their
necks--men who know horses.
"HOw is old Long to-daylv asked Uncle
John, as / sat down on a broken box by his
side.s
wall, Eli, reckon he kudent be better.
Providence has smiled on us thar
us he better than he was when King
fisher beat him in the fOur-mile race at Sar-
atOgal"
"Yes, he's jes as good as he kin be. He
was too tight last year"
What was the trouble with old Long at
SaratOgaF l asked.
i.iW al, " said old John, as he leaned for
ward on his cane, hn5 vent two miles night
smart, and the next half, too, If I member
we'll; but on the third quarter he threw up
his tail and broke down. I'm dretful poor
hand TO member dates, though"
rs Harry Bassett a good deal like King

."No. The Fisher was a more squar boss,
but Bassett has finer brisket."
"HOw do you like this hot weather."

like the hot weather. Eff old Long is
ahead after the second mile I'll be dog on
eff / don't think he kin get thar fust"
"I'l bet you $40 Of that, said a Kentucky
bystander.
( Gan right said old John, taking out an
old greasy wallet; 'let Mr.. Morrissey hold
the stakes" handing them to MOrrissey.
'WhO's your rider, Uncle John ~
''Wall, my yeller boy John Bayless; he's
