Il Is fact too patent to be denied or
doubted that the Greeley ticket is weaker
to-dayin Tennessee. than it was mouth
ago. Il. is equslly as evident that tbs de
minution Of strength is attributable TO
the uncalled for, unprovoked, uniusz
tifable, unceasing warfare which few of
the unconditional Greeleyites have made
upon the Democracy. Careless ofconseuuen-
ees to the Cincinnati nominees, they are
determined that the Democracy shall go
down. Judging from their course in this
contest, they would prefer the defeat Of
Greeley, the triumph of Grant, to the con-
tinued existence of the Democratic party.
Without position or influence as parties are
now organized, their only hope of political
preferment Is in an abandonment of estsb-
lished landmarks, established usages,
established organizations and estab-
lished principles. They seem not to
know that the same yaultiDg ambition,
the same restlessness, the same discomfort,
the same unbridled prejudices and pas
siens which have excluded them from posts
Of honor in existing parties win keep them
in the retiremenb from which they are now
struggling so desperately to escape. Or
they hope in a general scramble among
good men that there may be enough of
their own dissfected and demorslizing sort
to foist them into position. IF they have
at heart the good Of the country; if they
believe that tho public welfare win be
promoted by the election of the Greeley
Brown ticket, let them not longer vex the
public ear with their rawlings, let them
cease to tear their passion to tatters, and no
longer tax the public patience with their IL
considerate and unreasonable resentments.
They do no harm to Grant. They only
serve to fret and annoy the Democracy
upon whom the Cincinnati ticket must rely
for success.

The Cincinnati Convention.

Our readers have all heard of the Gin
cinnati Convention. 1t originated in
Missouri, we believe, where for two or
three years the republicans have been en-
gagged in the enterprise of fighting each
other, instead Of the common enemy
They are now trying to extend it over
the whole country. Its vital organs are
composed almost entirely of personal
hostility to Gen. Grant, whom they have
pursued with relentless hand for the past
few months. Much of its life springs
from disappointed oflice-seekers, and their
staple argument in response to the sup
porters of the administration, is almost
invariably that they are office holders"
having no idea apparently that anybody
can be governed by any higher motive,
from which it is certainly very easy to
understand what motive governs them.
That some good and honest men may be
members of that convention, we have no
doubt. That the democrats should CO.
quette and fondle it is all very natural
That some of the most sore and tender
of these disaffected republicans. will be
ready to strike hands with their old en-
emies to more efiectually carry out their
animosity toward Grant, may be expect
ed. This disaffection has showed itself
very little in the Eastern States. 1t is
mainly a western bantling.
We do not propose, however, to judge
the Cincinnati convention till after it is
held. A similar convention in many
respects was held in 1864, at the same
place, in opposition to Abraham Lincoln.
1t appeared quite respectable as to num-
bers, but had no constituency behind
them. All there was of that movement
assembled in the hall and most of them
afterwards had the good sense to sup
port Lincoln. When those engaged in
the present movement have let off their
extra steam, they will no doubt feel re-
lieved and we shall hope to see the best
of them giving hearty support to the
republican nominations.

The republican State convention to
assemble here on the first day of May,
will of course give a cordial endorse
ment and support to the administration
They will also elect delegates with sim
liar feeling to the Philadelphia Conven'
ton, but we hope and presume no per-
emptory instructions are intended. Let
us elect delegates whom we can trust
without instructions. The idea should
not prevail that we have but one man
worthy to receive the republican nomina-
ton for president, and while it is very
probable that Gen. Grant will be nomi-
mated for reelection, in accordance with
the apparent feeling of large majority
of the republican party, it is not impos-
sible that different circumstances may
arise, and delegates wise enough to be
entrusted with discretion should be
elected.

The PoTTER's FIELD SHOCKING DIS
CLOSURES. Some shocking facts relative
to the treatment of the dead inferred in
the Potter's field, on Hart's Island, near
New York city, have come to light. To
prevent body snatching watch is kept,
and several large ferocious dogs are al
lowed to wander about and drive away
intruders. These enormous mastiffs, po-
licemen like, keep away body-snatchers,
but do themselves what they will not al
low others to do. The light covering of
earth over the cofiins is no protection.
and these fierce quadrupeds dig down,
and tearing open the frail cofFins every
now and then, enjoy horrible banquet
from the human bodies. They have ire
quently dragged an entire corpse from
Its receptacle during the night, and at
early dawn the bones have been found
stripped of their flesh and scattered in
every direction. 1t is alleged that the
keepers on the island care little for such
things, and will hardly go out of the
way to put a stop to them.

A Rabid Bride-An Awful Wedding
Morn.

(Erom the Pittston (Pa.) Gazette)
About eleven weeks ago young lady
named Cox, daughter of Miles Cox, of
StOddardville, went into the yard to kill
some chickens. The dog followed her,
and, picking up one o. the chickens, ran
off with it. She chased him with stick
to recover it, and, coming up to him, he
turned upon her and bit her in the arm,
decorating it fearfully. Her mother and
brother coming to the rescue, were also
badly bitten by the Infatuated beast. The
wounds healed, however, and nothing
more was thought of the matter.
The young woman was engaged to be
married to a young man living at Colds
boro, uamed Alfred Kerrick, and the
wedding was appointed to come off at
that place about two weeks ago.
On the wedding morning, as she was
about to perform her additions, the sight
of the water sent shiver through her
whole system and frightened her, and at
the breakfast table the coffee had such
an effect upon her that she spilled it over
the table. She then complained of feel
ing unwell, and her friends advised her
to remain at home, but she said she did
not want to disappoint AL, and accom-
panied by sister, proceeded to Colds
boro, where the wedding ceremony was
performed.
Immediately after this she was seized
with spasams, bearing all the indications
of hydrophobia. In one Of her lucid
intervals she warned the company that
she would bite them if they did not keep
away from her. But" said she to her
husband, AL, you need not be afraid,
won't bite you"
In one of her paroxisms she bit lady
who was endeavoring to soothe her. 1t
was the wife Of DR.. Hoffman, who drives
the stage from Goldsboro to Sand Cut.
on the ID. l.. d w. r. r.
Soon after assuring her husband that
she would not bite him she was seized
with commissions, and, laying back in
his arms, died.
The other members of the family who
were bitten by the dog have not, as yet,
displayed any SYMPTOMS of the disease,
but they live in hourly dread.

the city of Antioch, in Syria, has been
visited by an earthquake, causing ter
rible loss of life. The dispatch states
that one halt of the city was totally de.

There were three successive shocks of

inundated the lower portion OF the city,

The LAST AFFECTIoNATE Doc STORY
On Thursday a fine Newfoundland
dog walked into the school house on
Poplar street, Boston, entered one of the
dressing rooms OF the pupils, took down
the cap and coat of his young master,
and then gave an inquiring look at the
children, among whom he failed to see
the owner of the cap and coat. Walk
ing into the other school room of the
same floor he found the object of his
search, and went up and affectionately
kissed him. This is true story says
the Boston Herald.

On Saturday last Mrs. Catherine
OLeary entered the city collectors Office
for the purpose Of paying the tax upon
the lot where originated the fire that
should be spelled with capital F. The
assessment upon the property was $40,
but in consideration of the distinguished
greatness thrust upon Chicago by the
hind leg of the lady's COW, and, under
the operations of the rebate act, de-
duction of 81 was made. Some face
tious clerk in the office of the commits
sioner of taxes had illuminated the
lady's rebate paper with the COW with
crumbled heel that shattered the lamp.
If it hadn't been for Mrs OLeary's dis.

would never have been in existence, and
it is thought that they would have done
nothing more than generous action to
have rebated the tax altogether.-CChi

New HAMPsHIRE.-The New Hamp-
shire Republican canvass Just before

Straw 38,l4l votes and to all the other
candidates 36,066, making Mr.. Straw's
majority 1176. The actual vote for Mr..
Straw was 1854; and for his opponents
1883. The estimate was only 673 un-
der Mr.. Straw's vote, and but 594 under
that of the opposition. The Republican
majority was almost literally given, as
that is 1925, or only forty-nine (49)
more than the figures set down in adj
vance. Certainly a remarkably close
canvass.
