Of davs than anv other within the past
twenty years. Over two hundred deaths
occurred within the past fortnight from
sunstroke while the cases Of persons ac-
tually attacked lie between eight hundred

ruE sE1r CoNrEssEp.LThe Journa

The SELF CoNFEssED.-The Journa
of Commerce, commenting on Wilson's
letter of acceptance, has the following
Just remarks on his shameless aveael O
hypocrisy:
Speaking of insincerity, it is The candi-
date himself who makes the strange con.
fession that he has at times been acting
in and cooperating with political organi.
cations with whose leading doctrines ]
sometimes had neither sympathy nor be-
lief" This is about the coolest thing on
record. Here is man who sets up for q
high-toned, consistent statesman, for to be
Vice President of the United States, who
admits that he has belonged to and work
ed with parties whose leading doctrines
he did not believe, and had no sympathy
with. We have. known of men overlook
ing minor differences of opinion with par
ties for some special temporary purpose
but it is rare that men will make such a
cynical avowal as this of Wilson's-that
they see no objection to connecting them
selves with and working in and for par
ties whose leading doctrines they secretly
disavow and detest. What is this but q
confession of hypocracy, and how can we
trust man who makes such statement
about himself, for the object of Showing
that he was not real "Know-Nothing,
but only a pretended one, all the time o
his membership with that faction? Such
is, doubtless, Mr.. Wilson's motive in pen
ming this extraordinary confession. In or:
der that we may think that he was not a
narrow-minded bigot some years ago. he
would prefer have US believe that he was
hypocrite. Such is the dilemma-upor
one or the other of these points he has
chosen to impale himself by writing that
luckless letter.

The Baltimore Convention Assemblies


To-day, Tuesday, the 9th July, assem-
bles the great Convention. upon whose
cotton the South waits with so much So
'ic'tude Two months have passed since
tho unexpected nomination of Horace
Greeley at Cincinnati. And since then,
strange sights have appeared in the po-
litical armament. North. South. Eastand
West. lights now advancing, now rece-
ding. atone time swiftly shooting athwart
the heavens. at another slowly creeping
toward the zenith, bewildering the be-
holders eyes. And strangest of all, the
Endorsement of the Cincinnati candidate
at Baltimore, has, by imperceptible de-
grees, passed from slim probability in
to well-defned certainty. Meanwhile
we at the South are quietly looking on,
exercising "a wise and mastery inac-
tivity," hoping and believing that the
success of Mr.. Greeley will be the over
throw of the odious military despotism
under which we have so long suffered.
and the restoration of constitutional lib
crtv.to an oppressed people. To such a
consnmmation we can cheerfully resign
many fond hopes and long cherished
preiudices asthings of minorimportance.

The Call for the Stale Convention.

The call for the Republican State Con-
vention appears in another portion OF to-
days Union. 1t will be seen by reference
to said call, that the convention is charged
with important and responsible duties. II
not only has to select an entire set Of new
State officers, but also seven electors ion
President and Vice-P President of the Uni.
ted States, Congressman at large, and
the entire political machinery for the party
for the coming campaign The duty i'm
posed upon the Republican party at the
present is one of the most arduous and re-
sponsible since its first inception in this
State. Upon the executive and various
county committees depends in great de-
gree our success or failure in the coming
campaign, and it behooves the party to see
to it that none but efficient, active, trusty
men are put upon these various commit
tees The candidates to be nominated for
the various positions are numerous and
persistent, and it will require the very best
discrimination of the convention to select
GOOD men ior the positions. For this rea-
son the Very best men in every county
should be selected as delegates To the State
Convention.
1t will be seen upon reference to the
"call" that neither the congressional nor
the county conventions can be called un-
III after the State Convention, as the Off
GERS whose duty it will be to call these
conventions are to be selected by the State
Convention next August. This Is as it
should be, and We hope the various coun-
ties will now go to work and discuss this
matter freely, resolving that for each con-
vention, STATE, congressional, and county,
there shall be different set Of delegates.
Let it be understood by all that the pres
eut county chairmen, and the chairmen OF
the respective congressional districts have
no power to call conventions in their re-
apective districts, 10, eny other p~yroc7
nan to select delegates tQ the State Con-
yeniion which meets August 2lst. They
cannot call convention to nominate coun
ty officers, members OF the Legislature, or
members OF Congress That duty is i'm
posed upon the chairmen OF the various
counties and congressional districts to be
elected by the convention in August

OBITUARY.

| DIED, on the 25th June, 1872, Mrs
MARY Y'SNELLGROVE, aged about 81
years.
She was a consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for go years
| She adorned the church of her choice
with more than ordinary zeal, by acts ol
kindness and Christian fidelity, and bore
the heat and burden of her Christian day
with resignation.
Her husband Yas killed SIS years ago
she had several small children to raise,
and being somewhat destitute, it took q
good deal Of moral courage to Withstand
the shock in her peculiar and srying con-
uition. She managed to rear up her
children in crcditand responsibility. She
was the victim of sore disease and disap-
pointment, but in all her distress she
found source of Joy, by trusting in God
Thus was exhibited in her the power oi
the Gospel, for she rejoiced and shouted
aloud the praises Of God while on her
| death bed, and talked freely on the SUBJ
| iect of death. There seemed not to be a
cloud of doubt or fear over her spiritual
sky. She is gone to the spiritland, where
she will not she'd any more tears. Fare
well, our mother in "Israel!' Thou art
gone to praise God forever.
The writer preached her funeral to o

Mr.. EDITOR: Pleas allow me space
in your columns to crrect a statement
in relation to the Origin of the late dis
turbance at Pleasant Cove, as published
in your last issue. 'le author of the
article alluded to theron grossly misrep-
resented me, and my F'sition, because I
had no favors to ask at:hat meeting, in
asmuch as ! was no ecker of place or
preferment. was called to the Chair
bv the Committee OF Arrangements, and
respectfully declined serve; but the
Committee insisted, all finally con-
sented to take the CHR. Thereupon
some of our numeros oflice-seckers
"raised terrible how {" and said that
it would not do for meto bo Chairman
of the meeting, assigning the stupid
reason that I would endorse the od
members of tie Legislture. On walk
ing through the crowd, nd hearing some
remarks to this effect, Fhen peremptori-
ly refused to act as aairman. And l
explained why I woull not serve. And
all was "Quiet on the Potomac" at that
time, and remained ontil dinner, the
assertions of "Spectatt" 10 the contrary

Correspondent. Who are the other can
didates for nomination?
Judge Orr. There are good many OF
them. Frank Moses, DR.. Neagle, Gov
ernor Scott and John Patterson appear
to be the most prominent. / don't know
that Patterson's chances amount to much,
and, as to the triangular contest between
Scott, Moses and Neagle, am told that
Scott means to play off the other two
against each other and slip in between.
Neagle says he has got SlQO, 900 to spend
for the Office, and Parker says he has got
S5O,0O0 to pay for his reelection. Moses
appears. to have used up all his ammuni-
tinn already.

The Greeley Jubilee in Boston,

OF course everybody has read of the
great Musical Jubilee which has been
going on in Boston for month past; at
which the bands of all nations, and the
singers Of all nations, the pianists, the
violinists, the horn-blowers, Of all ma
tions, have been trying their level best
to outdo each other-gotten up by mu-
sical Irishman named Gilmore, and held
in building whose dimensions arith-
metic fails to compute, called the Co.
liseum.
On Wednesday, July r3rd, Horace
Greeley. Ia., ..-r,--.esl;- .
and the city government OF. Boston, went
over from his farm at Chappaqua to be
present at that days Jubilee perform
ance. And great was the event!
Triumphal was the journey-partly
by steamer and partly by rail. Tri-
umphal was the reception by the City
Fathers of Boston. I'M more triumph
al than all was tho reception, by the
public-5O,C0O head-in the Coliseum.
The drums beat, and the cannons roared,
and the anviis Changed, and tho hig organ
doomed and thundered, and the horns
footed and the grandest band of Great
Britain, the British Grenadiers, and the
grandest band Of Germany, Kaiser Will
helms Imperial, and the grandest band OF
Austria, Herr Strauss's, and the grandcst
band of France, the Guarde Republi-
caine. all blew their loudest blasts and
achieved their greatest feats. And Herr
Bendel, the German pianist, smote the
piano until it crumbled to earth. And
Madame Pcschka,L Leutner, the highest
running-up singer, who had never be-
fore gone higher than g. sharp in alt,
(Which of itself is miraculous) under the
inspiring influence of the white hated
philosopher, ran up to c., and-we were
going to say, died; but she didn't. On
the contrary she is alive and well.
And the Sage of Chappaqua wore a
black Alpaca sack, and bore in his hand
huge bouquet, which he waved at the
male musicians, and finally tossed to
Peschka-Leutncr when she achieved her
c. in alt. And the $4,000 head of sover-
eign people rose ever and anon from
their seats, waving hats and handker-
chiefs, and cheered for the old man who
is to be our next President.
And after the Jubilee, the City dined
him and wined him magnificently. And
then he departed for Newport, where he
had heavy and mysterious conference
| with Chief Justice Chase. And then
back to chopping wood and cutting down
trees at Chappaqua.
Verify, all these demonstrations point
to old Horace rs the coming man!

There is Life in the Old Land Yet.''

1t gives Us much pride and pleasure to
see how many splendid prizes are being
won in Academic fields by our ambitious
Southern youth. At Princeton, in a
graduating class of nearly one hundred,
the highest honors were given to Leigh
Richmond Smith, of Alabama; James
Adair Lyon, of Mississippi; and Rich
mond Pearson, of North Carolina. There
is life in the old land yet. And a Green's
boro lad from the Bingham School IN.
c. after single year at the University
of Virginia, took diploma in ancient
languages, receiving special commenda-
ton from the Professor.
Young men of Edgefeld, turn your
eyes to these facts. They are worthy of
record. And they remind US, in the
midst of disaster and desolation, that all
is not lost.
