Falling Into Line.

The Hartford Times, one of the lead
ing Democratic journals of Connccti-
cut, has never been cnthusiastical in
clincd toward Greeley. In view of the
rising indications from every quarter it
says:
One by one the Democratic Journals
which have stood out against the idea
Of taking up the Cincinnati ticket are
.admonishcd by the rising tide to fall
into line and move ON. 'Thc procession
has started 1t is y strange spectacle.
in which we are all actors without the
wish TO take the parts allotted TO Us. vet
pOWcr.c-s to resist the mysterious but
mighty influence which orders these
changing scenes upon the stage. An
things, good and bad alike, seem in this
matter to work to the common end.
Even the devices intended to avert it,
somehow so shape themselves as to aid
it, We are all going for Greeley in
spite of ourselves. As, one after
another, the Democracy Of cveral
States wheel into line, the most invct-
crate skeptics and lang backs begin to
rub their eyes and TO make haste Ia get
into the advancing chariot, to avoid 20
ing under the wheels. Opposition only
accclcratcs this unaccOuntablc progress.
1t is all very strange.
There is to be change. Next No
vcmbcr, unless all the indications arc N
fault, will see the overthrow OF Grant
and his military government. There is TO
be a change Of policy--a change Of adj
ministralion-a change Of Congress. A
Democratic Congress is coming ncX..
We are to have restoration of consti-
tnti0nal Government. l. il worth while
to stand any longer lameniing and com
planning about the means and instru-
mcnts which are used TO accomplish
this great result!

SDaiu and Cuba.

The New York 1rJbune says: The
Spanish idea OF making use of surrcn-
dcring insurgents is to employ them as
bloodhounds in hunting up their late
comrades for execution. a Havana
dispatch coolly says that Pcpillo Con
zalcz, who lately gave himself up to the
two maiors,a lieutenant and six pri-
vatc soldiers were captured under his
direction. The highest officers were
promptly put to death. Other "patri.
OTIS who have surrendered are expcc-
ted to be made useful in similar man
ncr. and the revolt which has been
crushed 50 many times is thus to be put
to an end. This is called war in Cuba

II. IIill'a Journal, the Charlotte, N, c.,
Southern Home, Of June ID;
At the present term OF Mocklcnbnrg
court there were indictments against
ten negroes for murder, one attempt
ut murder, fifteen larceny cases, two
bastnrdy cases, four cases fOrnicatiOn
end adultery, three eases assault and bat
terry. In all, thirty-ilvc cases on \the
criminal docket among the negroes.
The county is pnt to heavy expense
by these vile criminals, and so far from
crime decreasing ii is steadily on the in
crease. Excitement Of any kind gives
nm impulse to crime with the colorcd
race. I'anatical preaching, political
praycr-mcctings, incenliary harrangucs
from the stump, canyassing for their
votcs-all these causes will make this a
year of horrors with this cxcitablc race.
Their politicians will encourage arson
and crime of every kind. Their Stump
speakers will infusc into them n innati-
cal enthusiasm, and prepare their minds
for the commission OF the worst deeds.
The tOulest act in the interest of Grant
and the party will be made to wear the
guisc of virtue ana religion. This is
precisely our condition here in North
Carolina, and it is far worse in the black
belts in the cotton States. We arc
standing upon a volcano, which may en-
plOdc at any moment.
The negroes in their ignorance be-
licvc that Grant is their friend to pro-
tcct them from 0utragcs at hands of the
white race. The presence Of the sol
dicrs encourages that belief, and the
Gcnd>h persecution of the so-called
Ku-kluX confirms that impression
Mr.. Voorhees, and the Northern De-
mocracy can phiosophisc coolIy and
talk coqucntly about principle. We
would remind them that there is no
higher principle than humanity. We
want relief from the horrible condition
in which we have been placed by this
military dcspotism. Humanity should
prompt the Democratic leaders to come
to our relief i'm the only way now prac-
tienblc

Bradley County.

Wo learn that the Democratic County
Convention, which met at Cleveland
last Monday, failed to make nomina-
tons, owing to some Of the parties
interested being dissatisfied. During
the day it was agreed to hold district
meetings OH Saturday, the 18Th, and ap-
point delegates, who will meet at Clcvc-
land on the Tuesday following to settle
the claims of tho candidates.
Our friends in Bradley are in the
minority in the county, and cant well
afford to frittr the chances away by
running several candidates for each
Office. Even with one they will have
to work with n good deal of harmony
and vim TO make successes at all certain.
