SIS IL Expedient to Nominate Mr.. Greeley al
BALTIMORE"
The Patriot gives conspicuous space to a
communication from "a Liberal Demo-
crat" endorsed by that paper as "a citizen
who has occupied one of the highest and
most responsible public positions in the
country,'O in which it is maintained that
the mass of the Democratic voters cannot
be brought to forget Greeley's denuncia-
tons of their honored leaders, or his life
long efforts to defeat their cherished princi-
pies; that the large religious element in
the Democratic party will refuse to
vote for candidate whose edi-
torship has been distinguished by
its advocacy of doctrines that SAP
the very foundations of religious teachings;
that the Democracy cannot afford to en-
counter the almost united hostility of capi-
talists who shrink from placing their sensi-
tive treasure within the reach of the 1,l-
buae's crude financial policy; that Greeley
cannot be elected without the support of
the =" united SOUTH" and this support, for
reasons named, he cannot get; that Of the
New England states he can have hope of
carrying only New Hampshire and Con-
necticut that the stern Democracy of
those states cannot be induced TO vote
solidly for their old enemy, and that the alb
sence of a few hundred in either state gives
it to Grant; that Of New York it NAV be
said that when Greeley, as candidate of his
own party in 1869, fell far below his own
ticket, he can scarcely be assured prom

chiefs are Seymour, Hoffman and Church.
whom Mr.. Greeley, by pen and tongue,
has impoverished the vocabulary of invec-
tive to traduce; that New Jersey, the
only Northern state true to the Democracy
during the war, has yet given no counte-
nance to Greeley's nomination, and but one
paper of either party, Of over two hundred
published in the State, gives Mr.. Greeley
support that what Greeley may gain in
Pennsylvania by his protective proclivities
he will lose by the hostility of that power
ful corporation, the Pennsylvania Central,
which has been the object of Mr.. Greeley's
attacks for years ; and that if he is defeat
ed in these states it matters not what the
West may do in her debatable states.-

ACCIDENTS AT THE TUNNEL.-Two
accidents have recently occurred at the
Church Hill tunnel, neither, fortunately,
with fatal results. A young man named
Peter G. Trendeman, an assistant in the
work at shaft No. l, was yesterday knocked
senseless and badly bruised on the head by
a fall of earth. The greatest care should
be exercised by those engaged in work at
the tunnel to avoid accident. .

Disaster to an Ocean Steamer-Her Probable

=, London, May pa dispatch from
Hastings announces that the N. G. Lloyd's
steamship" Baltimore" which arrived at
southampton yesterday from Baltimore for
Bremen, and subsequently sailed for her
destination, has met with disaster which
will probably cause her total loss.
>. AT IL O'Clock last night she came in COL
ilsion with an unknown steamer, and had a
hole eighteen feet long and seven feet wide
stove in her hull. The water poured in
rapidly, and extinguished her fires; not.
however, before the steamer had been run
aground. The coast guard at Hastings i'm
medlately came to the relief Of the dis
tressed vessel and Succeeded in rescuing
her passengers and crew, and landing them
in. safety. When the "Baltimoreu went
ashore she ran on a rock, and it is proba-
BILE she will go to pieces.

SOMETHING GAINED.-0ur Demo-
cratic city contemporaries in abandoning
dead issues as well as a dead party, evince
a disposition also to abandon the dead lam
guages. We have had considerably less
of the latter lately than is usual under po-
litical excitement. This is a gain without
a corresponding loss.

The ELEcTIoN.-The municipal elec

we have heard. We have heard of no dis
turbance at any of the precincts. 1t is the
general impression that the vote will be

will be elected who, We are unable to say,

TO the Editor Of the State Journal.
The Grand Lodge OF the |. o. of G. T..
met in semi-annual session, at Arlington.
on the 18th instant. There are twenty
lodges in the State with an aggregate mem
bership of one thousand.
g A resolution was passed declaring that
the use or sale of "Bitters" is contrary to
the obligation Of the Good Telnplar.
H A resolution was also passed making
Staunton the place of the annual session,
instead of Alexandra, as previously decided
upon, to be held in November.
This order is doing a great deal of
quiet, though effective, work in combating
. intemperance. Among society's wounded
they wear the red cross of the hospital !;
in the battlefield of the courtroom they
bear the arms Of the sentinel over the
license law, which is too often shameful
ly evaded or ignored.
The temperance element of the State
would be more effective if massed in one
earnest body of some stability, instead of
wasting its strength in mushroom social
societies. The Good Templar's obligation
is lifelong, and he means business.
