The Long Branch Campaign.

| Tho President is taking thing

mortal struggle between his oppo
nents and his adhcrcnts from tn
breezy beach of Long Branch. IL

elected, of course, and that he, nect
not give himself any trouble about it
His partisans are not as scrcno a,

he will be reelected as matter O.

elected at all and tho most sapguine
Of them know that he will not be re.

test between the four milors appears
to have n greater fascination for him

he, therefore, leaves the latter bust

while he gives his personal attention
to the former.
His friends evidently do not half
like this conduct Of their chief.
They are willing to do the fighting.
but they expected, at least the cn-
couragemcnt of his presence. 1t is
not pleasant to them to know that he

he is at Long Branch when he ought
to be at ashington. 1t is not en-
couraging to fight for one who does
not care for his troops and tLis is
the explanation of that dcad-alivc
spirit of the Grant party. There is
a perceptiblc lack of enthusiasm in
its ranks. Its camp is idle and unin-
tcresting. We hear no bugle blasts
to excite the administration partisans
to action. The Presidents first war.

paint and feathers AZ Indianapolis last
Saturday night, but lis war cry was
feeble, and his tomahawk was rusty

smokes and fumes, nobody is afraid

to vomit fire and sulphur, it shows
that there is something lacking in his
task. The enthusiasm which the
Indiana Senator lacks, his whole party
lacks. They nominated Grant at
Philadelphia, and there the matter
rests. They arc not going into con-

A Vermont Marvel.

Just below the summit of the Green
Mountains, thrccAfourths of n milo
south of the Hancock turnpike, is
situated pond of water that deserves
to be classed among the curiosities Of
Vermont. It's length is some one
hundred rods, while it's width is
about fifty rods. 1t is of unknown
depth, but has been sounded one hun-
drcd feet, without bottom, as far as
known it is fed by only one small
spring of ice cold water that would
scarcely FIJI half-inch pipe, while its
outlet is six or eight times as large.
Its waters are very warm, warmer
than tho water Of any lake or river it
has been our fortune to observe.
Trout and lecches of large size inhabit
the pond in goodly numbers, c'pccial-
ly the latter.

A Greeley and Brown club Of color.
cd men in indianapolis has issued an
address to "colorcd Liberal Rcpub!i-
cans," in which Mr.. Summers speech
is accepted as true estimate of Graut
and his administration, and an earnest
appeal is made to colorcd men to ral-
ly to the support Of that life. long and
stauDchcst friend, Horace Greeley.
Speaking of the latter the address
says:
"Wc find that old whitehall philo-
sopher, Horace Greeley, among those
that stood for tho slave when Gen.
Grant and o. =. Morton were Of that
class Of Democrats that would have
sent Greeley South for punishment,
aye, even death. 1t would be, In our
opinion, no act Of ingratitude for the
colorcd man to vote against the Grant
party, for it is no Republican party.
1t would be bascr act ofingratitude c
to 60 back on our life time friend, as
Horace Greeley has hccn for the last
forty or fifty years, who now comes

Governor Vance Opens the Campaign in
tho State BY U Rcd Hot Greeley speech, :.

| Governor Vance addressed q large
and enthusiastic crowd at Wilson, N.
g., juno goth. A great part of his
speech was devoted to national, af-
fairs. He took strong grounds for
Greeley, rs the best IN cars of securing
real poace. lie said that tho South,
by supporting lifelong opponent of
this section and its policy, would con-
vince the North of their earnest de-
siro to forget the bitterness Of tho
past, and as tho Northern Rcpubli-
cans, by offering us Greeley and
brown on SO liberal platform as
that adopted at Cincinnati, had con-
vinced the South that largo body Of
our former enemies wcro dosirous Of
shaking hands with us. lIo said chat
for these reasons the South would
support Greeley checrfully, notwith.
standing the many objections to him,
In the hope Of inaugurating an era Of
better. .fcoling in tho land, and of
starting to return tho government to
constitutional administration. llo
hoped thero would be unanimity at
Baltimore, and was surc North Caro-.
Carolina would give Greeley and
Brown n large majority if endorsed
there by tho democrats, and illustra-
ted his position by humorous story
of an old preacher into whose hymn
book somc bad boy had!pastcd the old
song, 20, n,v~..
Old Grimes is dead
That good old map,
We no'er shall see him more.
On opening his book ono day before
sermon his eyes fell on this hymn.
llo read tho first verse and stopped
with surprise. lie wiped his SPECS
and read it again, and said, "Brcth-
rem, J. havo been singing out of this
book for forty years ! have mover re.
cognized this as a hymn before but
it's here and | ain't agwinc to 20 back
on my book now, so please raise the
tune and WE'LL sing it through if it
kills us.'
Now, said the Governor. we have
been singing democratic hymns for
forty years down here, and we have
never recognized Greeley as n demo-
crat before but If tho Baltimore
Convention puts him in our hymn
book we'll sing him through if it kills
us. This was received with prolong-
cd applause. Tho Governor spoke
over two hours, to the great dclig of
tho audience, and was fullonod By
Senator Ransom for an hour in the

Terrible AfrrRy in BIuckviIIc, 8. c.

The Aiken Tribune, of Tuesday:
says:
ca terrible afrray occurred late
yesterday afternoon, in which two
wcl!~known citizens Of the county
we're mortally wounded Mt tho hands
of Captain II j. Black, n citizen of
Blackvillc. We have been unable to
gather any particulars further than
that the difficulty originated with Mr..
Solomon Groves, Tax Collector and
Captain Black, while discussing poll
tics. Both were greatly excited, and
q difficulty seemed imminent, when
j. S. Groves, son Of Mr.. Solomon
Groves, took up the quarrel. There
upon Captain Black drew his pistol,
but before he could use it, the Mar
shall of the town. Mr.. N. Il. Turner,
came forward and tried to prevent a
difficulty. No sooner had he done so,
however, than Black fired at him,
shooting him down, and then tnrncd
and fired at young Groves. While
the shooting was going on Mr.. Solo.
mon Groves succeeded in securing a
bar Of iron, and as soon as Black had
fred the second shot he struck him
over tho head, Telling him to tho
earth, but l,o soon rcgaincd his fee
and attempted to make his escape
lie was pursued and rccaptured
however. Air. Turner, who was firs
shot, died in about an hour, and Grove!
lies in very critical condition, great
doubts being entertained Of his recov
cry. All the parties who figured in ti'
tragedy arc we'll known in the county
and the terrible dcnoucmcnt has cast
gloom over the ontire community il
which they resided.

Republican Feeling for Greeley,

1t is frequently asserted thas Cree
ley only has Democratic support
and does not in the least dctract
from Grants strength. The Cincin.
natl Convention contained several
hundred delegates from every portion
Of the Union and there was not n
Democrat amo,'g them. The Spring
field Republican has the most innu-
encc of any paper in New England
and it supports Greeley with zeal
and ability. The circulation Of the
New York Tribune is certainly the
most widely circulated paper in tn c
Western States. Other Republican
papers in different States support
Greeley, but these only are mentioned
because of their great influence with
the members of that party. 1t is
useless to say that they do not in.
