Still they Come.

There is another candidate for the Presi-
dency in the field, Mrs. VICTORIA WooD-
HULL having accepted tie nomination re-
Gently rendered her.
In one point Of view it might seem that
VICTORIA was eminently qualified for
bringing peace and harmony to a distracted
country and healing its divisions and dis
sensions. She is, perhaps, the only living
woman who has proved herself equal to the
difficult and delicate task of maintaining
friendly relations with two loving husbands
while occupying the same house with them.
1t is true that one of these amiable gentle
men was not on duty, having been relieved
by some friendly divorce court. Yet the
fact that all three of these parties resided to-
gether upon terms mutually satisfactory,
will 60 far to prove that the fair WOODHULL
has elements of peace that her illustrious
competitor, ULYSSES l., does not possess.
ULYSSES only said ''Let us have peace
VICTORIA has actually illustrated and de-
monStrated it.
In another point of view the prospect of
V1CToRIA's Presidency is not SO pleasing,
in that it foreshadows the probability of
the oppressed people of America being
called upon from their hard earnings TO con-
tribute to the support of 4 number of SUI
perannuated husbands lovingly quartered i'll
the White House. Yet they will scarcely
cost more than GRANTS ''nepotism." Let
lI5have peace.

PhiIadeIphta Convention

We publish on our first page a report Of
the proceedings of GRANTS Convention.
Mr.. CoLFAX's smile doubtless lacks a tri-
fe of being as child like and bland - as
it was few days ago indeed, we rather
suspect it may be slightly "pensive."
The following are the names of North
Caroiinians who occupied official positions
in the Convention.
Permanent President-Thomas Settle,

Committee on Credentials-James L.

Committee on Resolutions. II.

Committee on Rules-George III. Brown.
Vice President-EdWard Cantwell, late

Secretary-Q. a. Sykes, cOlOred.
1t will be seen that notwithstanding Ou1
"colored troops fought nobly" i'll defence
of the I" old flag" they are always assigned
places Of Little honor and less profit
and have often to stand back for men
whose best efforts were expended in what
they now term treason, and rebellion against
the best government the world ever saw.
Our colored friends have our sincere SYM
pathy. Colored men and carpet-baggers to
the rear-scallawags to the front, is the
battle cry, even at Philadelphia.

the part of prudence to take a regular
nominee, with a compact organization at
his back, if any such there be, than any
self-appointed or irregularly appointed cam
didate. In very short while now the
political atmosphere will clear up. The
denomination OF General GRANT will
render it necessary for all Republicans 10
define their positions. Now is the time for
Liberal Republicans, desiring Democratic
nomination, to show their hands. We arc
frank 10 say that so Tar as We are con-
cerned, We are for the strongest man.
