GRANT NoTrFIED.-President Grant
was notified Of his nomlnGtlon by tele-
grams from William Orion and Geo.
II. Steward. He was attending to his
business at the time in his office. He
remarked to a friend that evening that
the announcement occasioned him no
surprise, rs a sufficient number OF del
egates had been instructed for him,
and the proceedings of Tuesday show
ed that this would be the result ; new
ertheless he was highly gratihed that
the nomination WAS unanimous, and
he felt under obligations to his coun-
trymen, who, through their delegates,
had Endorsed him, both In their
speeches and by their votes, which
showed that the vile ISLANDERS uttered
against him found no believers among
his friends,

THE coLoRED VOTE NOT FOB
GREELEY.

1t is pretty well understood that the
vote Of the colored people throughout
the country will be given almost or
quite unanimously for Grant, forming
quito q formidable Offset for the sore.
heads and Liberal Republicans who
nominated and will vote for Greeley,
as we'll as for the Democrats who
threaten to support the old cabbage
herder. The Cincinnati Commercial,
an antt-Grant paper, contains the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks from It's
Nashville, Tenn, correspondent CEN
corning the prospects Of Greeley with
the negro vote Of the South:
Those In the North who imagine
that the negroes Of the South will vote
for Greeley, al set their Imagination
about moro profitable employment.
The negroes will not do any such
thing. He will get no more negro
votes than Seymour did In 1885, or
than Seymour would In 1879, II nomi-
mated again. In this State he will not
get any more votes than Etherldye did
when he ran against BrownlOw or
Senter. when he IA against Wisener.
The North Is In n fair way to be de-
ceived about this, and the sooner their
minds are set right the better. What
arguments may be addressed to the
negroes, setting forth the lifelong ser
vice Of Greeley In their behalf will
amount to nothing. The mass of the
negroes know no moro about Greeley
than they DO about the poet Longfel-
low, or the Arctic explorer Hall.
Either, upon the ticket, would be as
apt to catch their votes. One name Is
as new to them as another, and u re-
cord rs efficient as another. Outside Of
candidates for county offices, where they
know the fact In the way Of per-
sonal Intercourse, you cannot catch the
negro vote by nominating a negro's
friend. But two names signify any
thing to the negro, and these are Lin
coin and Grant. In the rural districts
where the leagues have been broken
up, where there are no Federal office
holders, and where the Democrats
hold u~ndisputed sway, Greeley will
get negro votes, just as Seymour did
In 1860; just rs Etheridge did in 1857,
and Just as Brown did in 1870. Here
In Nashville Greeley will get no negro
votes of consequence-not more than
one In thirty ut most. Indeed his
name and long service In the cause of
freedom will help him not ut all. His
name to the mass OF negroes Is new,
and his service they know nothing OF.
[ firmly believe that Greeley will not
get fifty moro colOred votes here than
would Johu G. breckenridge or George
ii. PendlctOn. There In Il few here
who vote the Democratic ticket, but
they are very few and rs destitute Of
influence aS lamp-posts: These will
vote for Greeley, and that i all the
colored votes he will get In Nashville.

SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
From the Salt Lake Herald, June 9th.

From the Salt Lake Herald, June 9th.l
Yesterday morning Mrs. Eliza White
head, wife of James Whitehead who
works In the Wasatch wooden mills Of
Smoot Il Co., went down to the creek
to wash some boxes, and not returning
In reasonable time, search was insti-
tuted for her, when 1t WAS found that
a part Of the bank where she had been
standing had caved In. forcing the OIL
cluslon that she had fallen In and been
swept away BY the stream. The search
was continued, and about half a mile
below where the cave occurred the
body OF the unfortunate woman was
found. What makes the matter still
sadder Is. as we understand, that Mrs.
Whitehead was about to become n
mother for the first time, aud she and
her unborn Offspring were thus acci-
dsntally hurried Into eternity. The
funeral will take place today nc Q
o'clock In the afternoon. We extend
Il sincerest sympathy to the husband
thus sadly and suddenly bcreaved.

CHARACTERISTIC,

Who wouldn't be an American,
when "our boys" behave rs heroically
aS they did mt Marsellles the other
night, when 4 vessel full of petroleum
was burning In the lmrbor? While
every n was looking ut the blazing
ship In horror, without hope Of saving
the other shipping, the bugles from
the American fleet rang out on the
clear night air, and. \ moment later, u
twelre-oared cutter splashed into tho
water, and with rapid strokes drew
near the burning ship. Another and
another boat followed, until twenty
crews had boarded her and were work
Ing bravely among the flames. After
scIttling the vessel, and cutting her
moorings, they returned to their cut
ters, which were dashed together, and
lowed the fast sinking ship far out In
the bay, where sho settled down, leav-
Ing only here and there a little pool OF
oil flaming on the water.

RUSSIA Is about to construct a ship
canal between the Black sea and the
Caspian. Tho result Of this enterprise
commercially will bc to open up to the
world the trade Of = new region. As
a military and strategic measure 1t
looks to tho strengthening Of Russian
power In Central Asia and to further
demonstrations upon the AnSlo-Indlan
Empire. The proposed canal will be
six hundred and seventy miles long.
and will cost from eighty to u hundred
millions Of dollars. This scheme has
been meditated by the Russian Gov

Great to the present tune. It Is esti-
mated that the work can bo accom-
plished In SIX years.

INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

In the matter Of boat racing or row.
ing matches between the English aud
Americans, our Solks are decidedly out
of luck. The Brltishers are too pow
erful for Us In that respect, aud thus 1t
was that they beat Us again yesterday
IN the much talked Of race between the
London and Atalanta crews, ON the
Thames, over the old course from Put
ney to Mortlake-a little over four
miles-the same ~ on the occasion OF
ths race between the Oxford and Har-
ward crews. The Londoners yesterday
won the race easily by twenty lengths;
30 tho telegraph says. Tho Atalanta
four were all lighter men than their
antagonists. and were selected from a
New York boating club; the London
ers were four crack Oarsmen Of the
London Rowing Club. The friends Of
the Atalantas were full Of confldencs In
their ability to win, and notwithstanding
the disparity In weight thought their
style Of rowing would enable them to
win. The betting generally was In IA
vor Of the English crew yesterday
morning, with odds freely offered, OF
three 10 n against the Americans.
The roughness Of the water, and other
detrimental circumstances were against
the Aalantas, but however this may
be, It 10 enough 70 know that they got
beaten pretty badly, although the con-
test was conducted fairly In every re-
s2eot. The latest tolegrams give the
following particulars:
The Atalxnta crew entered the race
to-day under the most unfayorable cir
cumstances. Aftsr the storm had
ceased, tho water was rough and
lumpy, with the tide running very
strong. The raes was delayed until
half-past 6 before 1t commenced. The
Atalantas won the toas Of choice OF
The sunny side Of the river. The Eng
lish crew got = length ahead In the
first 2O0 yards, soon Increasing the
gap TO = length and y half, and though
tho Americans made \ desperate effort
to recover the loss and partially sue
ceeded. they soon began to fall, and
although they rowed the ace out
pluckiiy, the Engiith crew came out
easily more than twenty lengths ahead
In 81 minutes and IL seconds.

THE experiment OF raising cotton In
California, for which that State has
long been regarded as peculiarly adap-
ted, from the advantages of soil and
climate, has been removed this year on
n more extensive scale than heretofore
and under circumstances that promise
definite results. In the river bottom
lands In MERGED county and at MARI
posa creek quite extensive patches Of
land have been planted with cotton,
and n party planted no less than
four hundred acres. Small parcels Of
land have also been planted in other
parts OF the State. The points that re-
main undetermined chiefly relate to
the economic production OF the staple,
the experiments heretofore being d.
rected for the most part to the question
Of the adaptability OF the country for
Its production. II now only remains
TO show that the staple can be proflta-
bly, cultivated, and this point will soon
been ascertalned by the results Of the
growing crops.

LEFT A HEIREss BY DYING LOVER
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. IA young
lady named Rose Cofmeyer, who, for some
time past, has been an employee IN the train
dispatcher's s Office of the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul road, has recently fallen heir to a comtor-
table little fortune, and under circumstances
which render the incident OF more than ordina
~ interest.
It seems that Miss Rose, through some
friends, had become acquainted with vel Ito
do young farmer, residing at Merton, NaukeS-
ha county, Monte Won Driscoll by name, who
possessed 10 addition to his landed property.
uuite little fortune out idle. Monte, IN his
visits to the city saw more or less OF Miss Cot
meyer, who, being an amiabe young lady in
disposition and prepossessiDg IN appearance,
won the admiration and love OF Driscoll. The
affection of the young man for Rose was recip-
rocated, and after making an avowal OF his love,
he was duly accepted, and the two young peo-
pie we're as happy and contented as possible.
But Happiness too swiftly flies. > The pre-
mnaries having been arranged, Monte re-
turned to his farm and Rose to her employ
ment, each impatient for the wished tor day TO
arrive, but like sensible people both determin-
ed to apply themselves with renewed vlgor to
the tomporaties of this world until the time
did come, but hardly had they become separa-
ted when Driscoll was taken sick and suddenly
died, before his future bride could be summon
ed Upon opeuiug his will it was found that
he had not been unmindful Of her, even in his
diving hour. but had left his entire property to
her. consisting of his farm near Merton, and
the rest of his estate, forming comfortable
little fortune, amounting, in all to about $2l,-
