Just as soon as we received intelli-
gence that the Cincinnati Convention
had nominated Horace Greeley and
Gratz Brown for the Presidency and
Vice-Pr1sidency respectively, we formed
our opinion rs to the proper course for
the Democracy to pursue. We think
there should be no National Convention
of the Democratic party called; or, if
called, it should only be for the purpose
of indOrsing officially what we conceive
to be the will of the Democratic and
Conservative masses of the country;
that is, to make no nomination at all.
There can benO question as to the choice
of the Conservative elements of the
country as between Horace Greeley and
U. S. Grant. Especially is this true of
the down-trodden, prosecuted people of
the South, who see in the great reform
movement the silver lining to the cloud
of their Affections. And equally certain
is it that the nomination of a regular
Democratic ticket in this campaign will
result in the reelection of the gifted
Grant. These two propositions being
accepted as true, we do not hesitate to
declare that present indications point
unerringly to the conclusion that the
only hope of the country is in the cleo
ton of Greeley and Brown.

From the Ridgely Miss Advertiser
The Memphis APPEAL, with the first
bugle note from the Cincinnati COnven-
ton, in an able editorial, accepts the
probable result of that body as the only
sure5road to victory. The situation Of
the Democratic party is certainly a crit
ical one, and demands all the sagacity
and patriotism of its leaders to make it
effective for good in the coming cam
paign. One thing is certain, that party
will be compelled to make some acri-
fee in assuming an aggressive attitude
against the corruption that lifts itself
horribly above the will of a deceived
people, or, by inaction for the next four
years, dwindle into insignificance. In
accepting the nominees of the Cincin-
natl Convention, that party need not
resign its identity by q fusion with the
Republican organization, but can main
tain its integrity, and, at the same time
help to secure a change for the better.
This will leave it free to act in the fu-
ture, and we hope if their cooperation
in the present movement becomes a ne
cessity, there will be no incOrrigibles to
sow d~isaffection in the ranks and check
the progress of reform already COM
menced.

From the Montgomery tAlaJ Advertiser and
Mail.l

Before committing the advertiser to
this ticket, we shall await the voice of
the great National Democracy, uttered
in solemn ~convocation. When the un-
conquerable millions of our mighty par
ty shall gather in their strength and pa
triOtism at st. Louis, or wherever the
convention may be held, we lave per-
feet confidence that they viii decide
wisely; and when the party standard is
unfurled in the anvas we shall be
found fighting under it. If sound prIl-
dence, and a true devotion to country
shall in the opinion of the convention
urge US to support Greeley and Brown,
our best exeTtions may be depended on
to secure their election. The nOmina-
ton of these two distinguished Journal
lists to the first offices of the republic is
undoubtedly a great honor to them and
TO the editorial profession, although per-
haps %unconsciously paid. Nh. Greeley's
fame has been established in connection
with the New York Tribune, and Mr..
Browns in connection with the Missouri
Democrat. 1t is the first time in the
history of the world that two editors
have been selected to fill the first sta
tions, in either an Empire or Republic.

A MilIiOnaire's Daughter in Love with
an Indian.

AMONG the red men row visiting the
Capital to smoke the pipe OF peace, is a
youthful Camanche brave, who has at
tracted no little attention from the ladies
of Washington The other day, during
the visit of several families to the hotel
where he is stopping, he saw a pretty
young lady of about his W age, the
daughter of one of the wealthiest men of
the city, and fell so violently in love with
her at first sight that when the party left
the house he followed her to her resi-.
dence. For two or three days subse-
quently he was observed hanging about
the vicinity, occasionally catching n
glimpse of her; and, strange to say, the
young lady has conceived an equally vic.
lent passion for him. On Saturday last
she went out riding with him in the ele-
CANT barouche belonging to the paternal
mansion, and when those having charge
of her strictly forbade any further exhi-
billions of such bad taste on her part, she
frankly declared her intention OF we'd
ding the Comanche. On the other side,
the young Indian has been supplied with
money, and declares that he will not re-
turn to the happy hunting-grounds of the
West unless the object Of his devotion
should go with him. OF curse such a
deplorable state of affairs has necessitated
some action on the part of the authorities.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has
therefore been notified that the suscepti-
bic Comanche must be made to leave the
city forthwith, and a thousand dollar
draft has been rendered by a brother of
the misguided girl, as a bonus for his de-
parture. But the Comanche is incorrigi-
BILE, and steadily resists a. oyertures. The
delicate circumstances of the case, and
the fear of their names being given pub
Lefty in the event Of a dea0pemcnt, have
so far worked upon the relatives of the
girl that she will be taken hence to New
York on the through train tonight, and,
notwithstanding the lateness Of the sea
son, will quietly take passage for Europe
by an early steamer, the distracted mill
ionaire whose daughter she is perceiving
no other way to cur her of her unhappy

What Made Mark Twain Mad.

After this the rest was comparatively
easy. The magazine was broken open,
carts were procured and loaded, and at
about five O'Clock they were outside the
town. Dumas was o exhausted that he
sank down on the grass, under a hedge,
and fell fast asleep. Reused up presently,
he started on his Journey, and by eight
o'clock reached Villers.C otterets, where
they fourd the supper ready, which had
been orGered the evening before. After
q jovial meal they set out once more, and
by three O'Clock in the morning were close
to Paris, at the p~ost-house whence they
had started. At nine he had presented
himself, with his powder, at the Hotel de
Vile, having triumphantly accomplished
the daring exploit he had undertaken.
When Alexandra told this adventure
there was many a shrug of the shoulders
and loud.scoffing laugh; such a man
as this was not thought worth serious
refutation, as coming from so amusing
and notorious a gasconader-an uncom-
plimentary appreciation which he owed
to the incurable vanity which always
made him set his w figure in the most
elective and dramatic positions. But the
story is perfectly true, abating some
harmless exaggeration. 1t is to be found
set forth in a modest official report ad-
dressed to Lafayette, published by his
direction in the K0A6teRr Of August 9,
1880, and signed by Dumas and the
friends who assisted him in the expedi-
ton. The names of the various officers
whom he forced to submit to him are
given at length. When the memoirs
were published, in 1853, the son of the
Commandant, LINERS, did, indeed, come
forward with an indignant reclamation"
to clear the memory of his father, who
was then dead, but his testimony, for he
was actually present at the scene in the
Commandments Cabinet. only confirms
Dumas account. The purport of the
sons letter is merely this that the town
was already ripe for revolt before Dumas
arrival, and that when the latter returned
with his friends, these were assumed to
be chiefs of the National Guard, already
known to be disaffected. In short, that
the officer yielded not to Dumas, but
to an empowering force behind him.
His o describes Dumas as parading
his pistols, and menacing the Command
ant, but declares that the presence of the
four officers armed and intimidated was
a fiction of the novelist. He admits, how
ever, that he himself and the Secretary
with Madame de L~iniers-were present.
On the whole, the adventure may be ac-
cepted in all faith, and reflects credit on
the great raconteur.-AA the Year Hound.

RAw.uIpE rope IL now manufactured
10 a large extent, being made from the
hides Of cows, ~bufaloes, etc. II Is used
for hosting purposes IN warehouses,
mines, etc, as also on shipboard for til!er
and other ropes. The hide, being lined
and freed from its hair, is placed upon u
round table, when the operator, with a
knife made for the purpose, rounds OIL
the extreme portions, such as the shanks,
cheeks, and the like, until the hide is
rendered comparatively round. He then
commences to cut a strip the required
width, which be continues in one length
until the whole hide is cut up. Anumber
Of the strips thus made arc taken and
stranded and plated together, according
to the thickness Of the required rope.
Being thus far completed, the rope'is then
submitted TO the action of a solution
which preserves the hide from decay, and
renders it soft and pliable. 1t is not af-
fected by humidity or extreme dryness,
as is the case with Manila or hempen
ropes, and its tenacity is tenfold greater
than the latter,
