The Baltimore Convention has met, fused and
fnmed, aud has done just what it was arranged
long since that it should dot has adopted the
Cincinnati Platform, and nominated Greeley and
Brown almost unanimously.
Thus ends thesvld Democratic party, and does
not save Greeley. He 10 doomed to defeat, just e
he has been from the start; but fhe Democratic
party hsslostits grip, and can never secure it upon
the masses Of the people - in the old time. Is this
the end for which 1t has been lsboring and plot
ting for two generationss If the bones Of the
dead ever rattle in their graves, what clatteriDg
there will be in the grave-yards that hold the
mains of the great fathers and sages Of the Demo-
cratic party! 1t will sound as if the ghosts are
playing their own coronach with castanets. So
this is the end Of the proud old Democratic party!
1t is like man working for lifetime to build
up grand home and wealthy estate, and then
swapping it off for yaller dog. And then they
went seriously ut it, and appointed . National
Executive Committee, to manage the affairs Of
the party, the same as they used to do. 1t en-
ploys lot Of men to labor for its wellbeing, then
deliberately cut its throat in their presence.
But it will look funny, after all, to see Greeley
carcass rotting in the Democratic charnelhouse!

We have taken some pains to ascertain the con-
dition Of Grecleyism in this County, the extent
to which it affects the Republican ranks and the
proportion of the Democratic vote chat he will re-
ceve. II the movement is no healthier in other
parts of the country than IL is here (and we think
that, with the exception ofhere and there local
ity, it is not) Greeleyism is destined to come out
decidedly languid. Here in Troy, we do not know
of single Greeley Republican, and some Demo-
Gratis are most emphatic in their prophecies that
they will not touch Greeley. At White Cloud,
there is not a>Republican but would rather be
called a rebel than Greeley man, and some Of
the Democrats will not touch Horace. At High
land, the Democracy pretty well drilled in for
Greeley, and have made up Tribune club, which
they will be trying to dispose of before the year
is out. We have heard great stories about the
number of Republicans there who are for Greeley;
bnt when it comes to naming the men, it gener-
ally pans ont that one Republican is for Greeley,
with an even chance that he may change his
mind, when he finds what crowd he is called
upon to train in. We have not heard SO much
from Iowa Point, but think the Republican
strength there will stick together. About Fan
ming, there is not a Greeley Republican, and some
Democrats will not vote for him. In Wolf River,
the Republicans have no renegades, and the Democ-
racy are by no means unanimous for Greeley. In
Wathena, we hear of few Republicans not to
exceed half dOzen who are for Greeley We
have heard nothing concerning the Democrats
down there. At Doniphan, We learn of one lead
ing Republican that has followed Greeley of, and
hear that there are several others. We have the
authority of Greeley Democrat for saying that
there are four times as many Democrats down
there who will vote for Grant, as there are Re
publicans who will vote for Greeley. We have
not heard from Geary City, but the Republicans
there always straight. The same with refer
ence to Marion Township. From Burr-Oak, We
have heard but little.
Ciphering the thing up, we are satisfied that
the fight will not be as interesting as fight
between the Republicans and Democrats on a
straight party issue; and we believe We are safe
in setting down Doniphan County as good for one
thousand majority for Grant.

CROP PROSPECTS.
Along the AtchisOn and Nebraska
Road.
Reports from ali Stations.

Capt. NJ. NJ. 1Owne, the efnc1ent ana energetic
Assistant Superintendent of the Atchison and
Nebraska Railroad, recently corresponded with
the agents of that company, requesting them to
send statement, carefully compiled, of the crop
prospects in the country about their stations.
We are permitted, by Capt Towne, to make the
following extracts from the letters he has received
in reply to his communications. We have no
doubt they will be of general interest to our rea-
ders.
W. II. NEsBIT, of Doniphan, writes: "Bren-
ner and McCrum both agree that there are from
thirty to forty Thousand bushels of corn to be
shipped from this station; of barley about 25 900
bushels, and oats from 10000 to 25,OO0 bushels.

face, the whole influence of Grants
Administration is given to tho sup
port Of these carpet t-baggcrs, and by
that influence they arc enabled to

plumber Of a helpless and impoverish-

influence; cease to menace quiet and
law-abiding citizens with bayonets; !;
cease making arrests, not to prevent
crime, but to carry elections; cease
to make protiigatc and scandalous use
of the public patronage for the same
purpose: turn out the Federal officers
who violate the law and abuse their

places. Do these things and the pco-
pic of the South, by the pcaccable

rid themselves nf the wrctchcs who

POLITICAL PARTIES = BATTLE
CRIES OF EACH.

Editor Ab6eUillc Press and Banner:
Sir. Every good Democrat is call
ed upon, SO they say, to decide at once
and attach himself to the one or the
other Of the two factions the dominant
party. He, the good democrat, must
not dream Of independence, but must
crouch down, like Issachar, strong
ass, between two burdens, and try to
find that rest is good, and the land
pleasant, and bow his shoulder and
become servant unto tribute. Well,
Mr.. Editor, I suppose, I can do so as
well as you or any other honorable
gentleman. Now, sir, I've passion
for war cries. I can't fight without
one, and I've been diligently search
ing For those of the parties between
whom I am, it tseems. compelled to
choose. I cannot bctray confidence
and give my authority but you may
roly, if you choose, upon the correct:
ness of~my information.
This need, it seems, has been felt by
the leaders themselves and much
anxious thought it has cost them,

tentions for his family suggested

THE GENEVA AwARD.-Presidcnt
Grant expresses his satisfaction at
the result, to q Herald correspondent
The result meets his expectations
fully, and should, he thinks, be cordi
ally accepted by the people of this
country. The contest, as he forcibly
expresses it, was not for dollars and
cents, but the preservation of amity
between England and this country,
with full and firm maintenance of our
national dignity. These points have
been achieved, and our nation should
be satisfied. 1t would have taken
but little TO have involved these two
countries in was-a war that would
have been more terrible, more ruiu.

ity. 1t will thus be seen, that to his

Ninety-Six a Healthy Town.

Editor Ab5evzze Press and Banner
A few years ago, when Old Cam
bridge5was more prosperous than i I
now is, one morning several wagons
were seen coming through the town
the drivers of which afi had tar on
their noses.
Inquiry being made concerning
this singular phenomenon, it was
discovered that some wag on the
other side of the river had informed
them that Cambridge was SO sickly
that it would be. highly dangerous
for them even to pass through the
town, without taking this precaqtion.
We were forclbly reminded Of this
passage Of history on reading the
following editorial item in the Medinm
of the 18th inst. |
sickness and Dcath.-We regret
to learn Of the prevalence of sickness
at Ninety Six, and Of its fatal nature.
The mortality among the colored
people is terrible, and the winter
have not escaped. Five deaths with
in the last ten days have occurred
among the white people"
We pronounce the above false in
:
toto, not even being founded in fact.
There has only been one death in the
town for the last three years, and
that was early last Spring, Of alchild,
and the disease was Pneumonia.
The editors Of the Medium have
evidently been "sold," but they ought
to be careful how they publish items
Of news which are calculated to in
jure the reputation Of q town, with4

CoTroN.-Owing to the depression
in the prices Of the great staple, our
planters arc not bringing their crops
TO market as rapidly as they would
otherwise do. Whether or not the
prices will improve is very doubtful.
The Liverpool market seems to indi-
cato still lower prices. Some Of our
planters can afford to wait, but the ma
jority will be forced to sell to meet
current expenses. Until they do SO
there will be stringency in our
money market, since it is upon cotton
that we all depend for money to set
the wheels Of trade in motion. Bu-
sincss men everywhere are eagerly
watching the prices of the great
staple, since they are all interested.
