HORACE GREELEY !

Ii may be true that a life long en-
nifty may be changed into the strong
est friendship. 1t may be true that
the man who waged for thirty
years, the "war of IDEAS against the
South which eliminated in the war
of blood, may be prepared to make
all the atonement in his power
and, that he who said the Southern
States had a right to secede, and,
as soon as they seeded, made the
welkin ring with the hugh and cry
of treason, may be disposed to 60
even farther in PREPARATION than his
advocacy Of universal suffrage and
amnesty. But such things are only
possible. We have no assurance Of
it. The platform upon which he
comes before the people is not halt
as sacred as the Constitution Of the
United States and yet it has not a
word of condemnation for the fla
grant outrages upon that instrument,
and Mr.. Greeley, if necessary to bis
purposes, will as readily trample
upon the platform as he has tramp
led upon the Constitution.
No one could have been selected
more repugnantto the Southern PEG
pie aud the democracy of the whole
Union. If compelled to choose be-
tween him and Grant, and assured
of the friendship of each for the
South, we would rather take the
Soldier President. But the proba
bility is we will be compelled to no
such choice. A few more weeks
and new political evolutions will
change the aspect of affairs.

now you May GET RID OF IT.

You may get pay to do it. The
growth Of Sassafras in our old fields
has puzzled and made Respondent
many farmer. Reioices no~ that
factories are in suecessfui operation
in Virginia distiiIing from the roots
Of this much abused tree an Oil OF
great value used extensively IN ma
voring tobacco, seeming toilet soap
and in the manufacture Of Confec-
tionery. Thirty cents per one hum
dred pounds is paid for the roots and
that which has been SO long regard
ed as pest in Virginia is converted
at once into valuable article of
commerce. Give US such a factory
and our farmers may have their old
sassafrass fields well-clcaned and
worked without cost.

THE CINCINNATI NOMINEES.

WAsHrNGroN, May 4.-The nom
nation, while it excitcs mirth in all
high political circles here, seriously
changes lie probable programme
The Democratic leaders were vir-
tualiy plt ged to the Cincinnati
Convent i. with Davis rs the
standard | rer, but now the shrewd-
est politicians predict square Demo
cratic nominations.
In view Of the interest taken and
the probable action Of the Democrat
ic party, the following from the
World is telegraphed:
1t editorially expresses profound
surprise at Il result in Cincinnati.
Adams, who proved by far the
strongest 81 ! the candidates. and
who had been expected to be strong
in the Convention, might have been
cordially 9. loised BY the World, as
he would i.aye been cordially sup
ported by the Democratic party
Greeley Can receive no such endorse
ment, nor las he any reason to ex-
pect such support.
The Convention has chosen the
most heated and conspicuous oppo-
nent Of The Democratic party in the
country. Called for revenue reform
it has selected the most jealous of
protectionists. This leaves the
Democratic party entirely free to
await the development of the imme-
date future and opens the way for
possible Democratic victory. The
World viii reserve its judgment un-
til the meeting of the National Con-
vention to be called next week by a
National Committee meeting in this
city.
The World recommends an early
date for the assembling of the Con
vention.
The Philadelphia Age suggests a
straight Democratic ticket,

THE DEMOCRACY

Has wisely bided its time. Let 1T
continue to do so as due to the mag
nitude of the future involved and to
the fact that upon its action depends
perhaps "the tendency of political
events" AS the case now stands
fortune smiles auspiciously upon us.
If the radical Convention moves
against US rather than against the
Cincinnati movement, having bided
our time, will only enable us the
better to meet the changed aspect
Of affairs.

LYMAN TRUMRULL.
WHAT ruE ruUDERER uAs TO SAY.

WE learn through the Lynchburg
News that a movement is on foot to
erect a monument to John Brown,
at Harper's Ferry. This seems in
credible, for John Brown was at
once a thief and murderer. But
if this should be done the monument
will perpetuate the infamy Of its
buildcrs.-Richmond Dispatch.
Horace Greeley was old 0ssa-
watamie's especial champion and
friend. They worked zcalousIy to-
gether in the same honest, patriotic
cause. While Horace did the howl
ing and the lying, old John did the
stealing and numbering. If Virgin
ians are to unite in elevating the first
to the seat once filled by their great
Washington, we see no reason why
they should not erect a monument in
honor Of the latter.-Sardnnal
NeaCS.

REASONING FROM FALSE PREM
Uses

4 writer ia the Atlanta Sun of the
oath instant, over the signature Of
"Wire Grass, is correct in many Of
his positions respecting the DISPOSE
ton of the land scrip. We agree
with him that the fund for the en-,
dowment Of an Agricultural College
is still under the control OF the Leg
islaturc. BY the express conditions
Of the grant by Congress, the Leg
islature of eacA State are made the
guardians Of the trust, and they can
not deleg ,te their control over it to
Governor Smith, or to the faculty OF
Franklin College, or to any one else.
But "Wire Grass" is mistaken when
he says the fund must all be given
to one institution. The grant says
"at least one College," which i'm
plies that it may be given to more
than one and in fact in some States
it has been divided for instance,
in Massachusetts and Virginia, and
we believe in others. But the main
argument of Wire Grass and the
Sun is predicated upon false posi-
ton, viz that it was imperative for
Gov. Smith to make some disposition
of the fund at that time or ii 1rould
hare 5cen lost. This we positively
and emphaticalIy deny. The Ath-
ems iunto cseiged Gov. Smith about
the last Of March, and the time would
expire on the I'd of July. So there
was over three months left for them
to act in: within that tins there is
every probability that Congress viii
extend the time, and if they do not,
the Governor could convene the
Legislature few days before the
time to which they mad adjourned
without additional expense. So this
plea of necessity Of acting at that time
has no foundation in fact, and we
charge directly that the Athens jun
to pressed Gov. Smith to decide
then. for fear the time would be eX-
tended, and the Legislature you'd
have the control of it, in which event
they had very little hope of sue

THE GEORGIA PRESS ON THE
NOMINATIONS

Unanimously the Democratic Press
of Georgia is for awaiting the action
Of the National Democratic Conven-
zion. A large majority is for dem
ocratic nominations. One or two
are inclined to take Greeley if the
democracy should make no nominal
lions, and one or two inclined, in the
same event, to take Grant All
however, are destined TO fall in I'M
der the demo cratic banner.

ARRESTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
FUGUTTVES,

The Atlanta correspondent Of the
Savannah News says:
"a young man by the name of
Hancock has just been arrested here
by the United States Marshal, un-
der warrant issued by the Judge
Of the United States District Court
Charleston. The young man re-
moved from South Carolina to this
State about year ago, being driven
away, it is supposed, by the troub-
les in his own ruined and drown
trodden State. The arrest was
made on charge of conspiracy, &C.,
under Akerman's Infamous Ku KluX
bill. The warrant was backed by
Judge Erskine, and this gave the
Marshal in this District jurisdiction
and authority. A similar arrest was
made Of an old man at Gainesville
some weeks ago, who is also fugu-
tive from South Carolina. No re-
QUESTION was made upon the Gov
crnor of Georg a by the Governor of
/ South Carolina in this last named
case, as has been iutimated, by the
/ Milledgeville Recorder. In both
cases the parties were arrested I'M
der a Federal warrant and by a
Federal Marshal, and the Governor
Of Georgia had nothing, and could
have nothing, to DO with the proceed
ines."
