THE NOMINATION OF HORACE GREELEY
from the Greenuille Enterprise.

THE NOMINATION OF HORACE GREELEY
[from the Greenuille Eaterprise.]
Mr.. Greeley has the confidence Of
the entire country, irrespective Of
party or section. for his great honesty
and his nomination was a wise de-
oision of the Convention. That he is
q very strong candidate is beyond
question. He will be the most accep'
table to the South.
LET US PULL TOGETHER FOR GREELEY
TFrom the Greenville Moantaineer.
We trust for the good of the good
of the country, and the sake of those
who desire change in the admins
tration of it's affairs, that no opposi,
ton will be thrown in the way of the
Cincinnati nomination by the press OF
the South, but that there will be a
"strong, and a pull together" to se'
cure that change.
NO MEDDLINd IN FEDERAL POLITICS.
TFrom the Chester Reporter.
We can't tell, just yet, what party
we are going to vote with, and we
won't know till the Democratic party
has acted finally in the matter. We
don't intend, though, no matter who
IS nominated to fight any great deal
on any side. In our judgment tho
only wise policy for the white people
of this State is to ignore Federal poll.
tics altogether during this year, and
to let the different parties at the
North fight it out among themselves.
ADVICE TO THE DEMOCRACY.
From the YorkuiHe Enquirer
If the Democratic party is wise, We
think it's candidate is nominated. BY
uniting with the Liberal Republica' 8,
Grants defeat is not only possible,
but certain. We hope the Democracy
will observe and heed the teachings
of the crisis, and for one time make
such sacrafce of party ambition as
will restore an era of good feeling and
quiet prosperity in the land.

The snow which blocked the Union

soon become as hard as ice. The snow

united force of four locomotives, would
hardly make an impression. The afsly
way to get it out was to dig trenches ev-
cry six feet down to the rail, and then
use the snow plows. But that was not
always successful. AT one time three
engines were thrown from the track
and the snow plow smashed intFy7ng
