We hope our contemporary will see to it
shat the convention is explicit on this
point, for upon it, as the Nsws mega
lively admits. depends the propriety Of
our sending delegates to Baltimore. If
the members of the convention will de-
clare that they are Democrats, and mean
to continue in that faith, We shall have
nothing more to say to them upon their
right to participate in Democratic Ma.
tional Convention. We shall only ex-
pect OF them that they be consistent, and
when once they have declared themselves
Democrat, that they will abide the deoi-
sion OF their party, honestly expressed,
whatever it may be, and will use all their
endeavors to secure the success of what
ever ticket their party may place in the
field.

chance OF advantage to themselves.
The other objections made to Mr..
Greeley are equally without weight. His
antecedents are as nothing compared
with the necessity of establishing in tho
administration Of national affairs the
principles he represents. No one can
labor under the lnconoeivable delusion
that strict adherence to party tradi.
tions and prejudioes, though inevitably
leading to defeat, is preferable to the
practical asoendanoy Of fundamental
Democratic principle.
The Democratic party, through all the
evil times in which we have been living
OF late years, has steadily insisted on q
return to constitutional government.
To this Mr.. Greeley is pledged. This is
the broadcast plank in his platform.
Since such is the case, what, then, mat
ters it what his position has been on past
and exploded insues2 Greeley's election
would settle the very corner stone of
Democracy firmly in its place.
Greeley or Grant will be the next Pre-
sident of the United States. The selec-
tion between them undoubtedly involves
freedom or slavery at the South. And
We warn the people OF the Northern
States that the same despotic and CEN
tralizing policy under which the South
suffers will, in the end, if carried out
unchecked to its legitimate conclusion,
inevitably come home to them, also.
Reeleu. Grant, and the suspension OF
the writ of ha6eas corpus, military rule
and usurpation throughout the country
will be merely question of time. II
Radical policy had brought a thousandth
part of the ruin and desolation to the
North that it has entailed on the South,
the country would be unanimous for q
change of rulers. As it is, we cannot
permit ourselves to doubt that the Demo
cratic party will do it's duty by the
south, by the country, and by the cause
of constitutional government.

GREENvLLE, 8. O., May 81. 1872.

FRIEND SE1BY: have to record one
OF those lamentable occurrences, incident
to the season, which took place between
8 and 6 O'Clock, yesterday evening, at
Johnston's mill-pond, on Brushy Creek,
Anderson County. nine miles from
Greenville. It appears that four young
white boys. name and age respectively as
follows: VIM. J. Ellison, aged twelve
years; A. J. Ellison. ten; Lee Couch,
eight; Willie Couch, eight; when re-
turning from school they stripped and
went into the pond to wash. or bnthe-
no one else knew anything of it-after
which negro man, by chance. happened
to pass by the pond and saw on the bank
some boys clothing. Not seeing the
boys, he feared the worst. and vent
promptly to the house of Mr.. Johnston
and reported the faot. Measures were
Immediately taken, the pond was
drained. and the bodies of the unfortu-
nate youths were found together, looked
in the embraces of death. It is sup
posed, perhaps. that one or more of the
unfortunates had got beyond his depth
and IN the efforts Of the others to save
him, they were involved in one common
ruin. The two Ellisons were brothers
and sons OF blind father, and were Just
beginning to be of some assistance to the
parent, which makes the misfortune
greater. The two Couch boys were
cousins. The sad calamity has cast
gloom among the families of their
parents and relatives, who are among the
most respectable families of their section.

nundrum. .'Can an Ethiopian change
his skin?" This is the way he proposes
to do it: The candidate will be first cub
jeoted to bath of alkaline water. Hav-
ing been we'll oleansed, he is placed in q
room where reliable thermometer indi-
oates 100 degrees of Fahrenheit. After
fifteen minutes baking, the partially
cooked victim is conducted to bath OF
chlorine water, at the ordinary tempera-
ture. The heat has opened all the pores.

the coloring matter. To keep it in, the
pores must be closed. To close the pores.
the subject must be introduced into an
ice cellar, where he spends ten minutes
in absolute agony, but relative bliss, for
the next step is to drop his exhausted
form into water heated to 180 degrees.
In this the pores open, the chlorine
grapples the ooloring matter and departs
with it. and our colored brother is CO.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE PHGNIY: In
the proceedings of the City Council, pub
llshed in your paper of to-day, is COM
munication from certain citizens to the
Mayor. in reference to the fetid odors
arising from the cemetery. and in part
denying that such ie the case. The
mere denial does not remove the charge
that such exists, and which was made &c
his Honor by the writer, in his communi-
cation OF the 22i ult. It is a we'll
known fact, that the denizens of the
Five Points OF New York city, are total.
~ oblivious to the offensive odors that
are constantly arising from their midst.
In their case the sense of smell has be.
come 30 blunted, from long contact With
decaylng matter, that they are unable to
distinguish smells, and such is always
the case amongst people who live
amidst filth and dirt. The resident near
to gas houses and bone boiling establish
ments never appear to distinguish the
offensive stenohes from these manufao
tories. 1t is only those who live some
little distance off, or the stranger who
comes into their midst. The men who
work amongst slaughter. r.houses are ex-
amples OF the same kind. The gratui-
tous remark that the parties who are
spreading this report must surely be
iaborlng under mistake, or else soillfuNv
m,srepreseM matters, i'll becomes q body
OF men who are supposed to have the in
terests OF the city at heart. I again re-
peat, that there has been offensive odors
IN my neighborhood, and my belief is
that they arise from the cemetery. Very
respectfully, JOHN MCQUEEN.

A VoIoH FROM RAD1oAL1sM.-We have
urged that the South has less to fear
from Horace Greeley than from Grant.
Opposed to our opinions are a few De.
mocratlo Journals, who say there is no
choice between the two for the South.
Certain it is, that what the Radicals fear
most, and strive hardest against, is the
success of the men and the measures
that look to lifting the yoke from our
necks, and the insuring Democratic
triumph. The New York Times-Radi-
cal to the core-publishes the proceed
lngs OF a Crowded meeting'' of the
Seventeenth Assembly District Republi-
can Association, on the 23d inst Now
read what the said crowded meeting re-
solves Mr.. Greeley to be:
Whereas, The Cincinnati Convention
having nominated as their standard
bearer In the coming Presidential cam
paign the bondsman of the traitor JEFF.
Davis; and whereas. the loyal people of
the country do not think the time has
yet arrived to reward traitors and their
allies. it is
"Resolued By the Republican Associa.
tion of the Seventeenth Assembly Dis.
trict of New York, that we have entire
faith in the integrity and wisdom of our
Chief Executive, Gen. q. 8. Grant, and
that we have not forgotten Vicksburg
and Appomattox, and we still love and
honor the noble hero who carried our
flag from victory to victory and saved
the Republ 9.
"Resotued, That We say to the rebel
South now, as we said to them before,
that We intend to fight it out on this line
for four years moro, and that the Re.
publican party of this district have no
athliation with trading politicians, and
those who desire to compromise with
the armed foes OF our country.
"ResOlred, That we believe that the
nomination of Horace Greeley was made
In the Interest Of the Democratic psrty.
and as We are for reform, we do not pro-
pose to assist in any way Tammany Hall
thieves or their friends.
"Resolued, That in Gratz Brown. for
Vice-President, we see man who (as
Governor) cannot control his own State
and stop murders. and would not be
able to do 80 with the nation.
"Res0lued, That this Association, recop-
nizing the ability, patriotism and fear
less advocate in its worthy President.
Col. Joel w. Mason, are proud to know
that he will represent this district at the
Philadelphia Convention, and We re.
spectfully request him to use his best
efforts for the nomination, as a candidate
for reelection OF the honest soldier, Gen.
U. 8. Grant, believing him entitled to
our confidence, respect and continued
support"
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted. We submit the question:
Who offers the most to the Sonth. the
nominee of the Liberal platform of the
Cincinnati Convention, who is believed
by the Radicals to be elected in our in.
terests, or the "honest soldier" o. 8.
Grant, whose supporters breathe forth
sucn enmity as is expressed above
against the South2
Augusta Constituionalist.

The Charleston Ne,Os, referring to tile
departure Of the Republican delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention, ssys:
''The delegates are mostly in favor OF
the denomination of Grant for President.
and speak of putting up Senator Wilson

they are about to put a plank in the
Radical platform which will sweep the
South to man for Grant"

The tariff question is unquestionably
one of interest, and under ordinary cir

that question the Democracy of the

are other issues Of 30 much greater mo.

sinks into insignifcance. Mr.. Greeley,
although differing from Democrats in
his ideas of protection. is so profoundly
impressed, as the Southern Democracy
are. with the greater importance of the
other questions, that he proposes to
throw it out OF the canvass altogether.
He proposes, in view of the far more

TIE nIMPRAoTTCABLEs. y

The almost unanimous vote yesterday
in the Reform convention, in favor of the
resolution presented by Mr.. H. N. Ogden,
declaring it to be the policy Of the Reform
party to ignore federal politics in the
coming election, and making declar-
alton of war against Governor Warmoth
and his friends, will convince the people
who are honestly in favor of reform that
the "impracticables' in the Reform con-
vention are likely to destroy all hope of
assistance to the cause of reform that
might have been expected to come from
that direction. Terrific speeches were
made by Mr. Ogden, Major Ker, of New
Iberia, General McCloskey. of soda water
fame; Colonel L n Marks, and other dis
tinguished gentlemen from the country
all in support Of the resolutions referred
to, and urged with pertinacity worthy of
better cause. Major Ker and General
McCloskey were peculiarly happy in their
oratorical efforts. Major Ker, as an evil
dence of his earnestness and pa
triotism, said he did not care if
they placed a monkey or a kan
CARGO in the Presidential chair so that they
succeeded in redeeming Louisiana from
the rule of carpet baggers. He was in IA
vor of attending to home affairs and let
ting the country go to the devil Colonel
Marks was pretty much Of the same opin-
ion, although he expressed himself in Ian
guage rather more becoming the grave
occasion. He made some declarations,
however, that are worthy Of note. He
said there are but two national parties,
the Republican and Democratic, and that
there is no such thing as Liberal Repub-
ican party in Louisiana. Perhaps the
Colonel will live to be taught by the peo-
pie that he was wrong in making such as
sertions We have a National Liberal
Republican party already organized,
pledged to the work of reform, and if the
'impracticables" in the two conventions
now in session in this city render it neces-
sary, we doubt not the will of the people
will be sufficiently strong to convince
them we have a Liberal Republican party

1t is an admitted fact by intelligent
politicians that neither of the parties repre-
sented in convention now in session in this
city, Of themselves can carry the State cleo
ton. tits equally improbable that ifunited
they can do it. The necessary majority
will have to be obtained from still third
party.
Now, in the face of this well understood
fact, what is the part of wisdom and COM
mon sense? The Liberal Republican party
feel confident that they can carry the State,
Independent of this auxiliary aid. They
are, at all events, willing to make the trial,
with pretty sure guarantee of success.
But as the principles of the three parties
are identical, they do not despise coalition.
They are DESTROYS of cooperating with
Democrats and Reformers in the attain
ment of common purpose But to this
extent only. They perceive the necessity
of correcting political abuses, and are
working solely to that end But they are
not prepared to be the ''hewers Of wood
and drawers of water" to the hot-brained
and insensate politicians who imagine
they possess all the wisdom and all the
responsibility in the State. Something
may be excused to dotage in this way; but
with young and intelligent men it should
be different.
The advantages obtained by the Rapub-
lican party in this State are those secured
by persistent -ezertions and by the force
of principles identical with popular senti-
ment. 1t has been long the custom of de-
feated partisans to accuse their opponents
of grave errors and actual crimes, but as
long as these charges remain improved
the public will regard them with indif-
ference 1t has been the case with the
charges made against the present .execu-
tive. Not one Of his aeeusers can point
to single crime in his Administrations
not one can successfully impeach his
honor and integrity. Then why the OPP
position to coalition with him and his
party Is 1t because such an event would
dampen somebody's gubernatorial aspira-
tons? 1t must be so, else why all this
senseless claInor
Coalition is the only way out of the diff
fculty. Struggle against the picks as
much as you please, but it will come to
that at last-or defeat. Choose either
horn of the dilemma, but facts are stub
born things. I'VE offer you coalition, but
we do not begit We offer you success,
knowing that without our aid, for you, at
least, defeat is inevitable. The situation
is a trying one, certainly, but wise men
would consider it calmly and nationally,
and not with the fury and bluster of chill
dren, or the insensate gibberings Of dotage.
