GEORGIA SENTIMENT.-The augusta
Const;tutionaHst, alluding TO Mr.. Gree
ley's nomination, says:
Among the Democrats the predom
inant sentiment seems TO be that, a:
between G. ant and Greeley, the latte,
would be infinitely preferable. If re
duced to the alternative of taking one
or tho other, the least nauseous dose
would be Horace Greeley. In per
sonal responsibility and in mental ca
pacity, he towers above Grant as q
tall tree above distorted bush.
But there is a thousand reasons why
Horace Greeley would be distastefuI
and offensive to Democrats.
1t is impossible that they can teeI
any pleasure in his nomination, OF
contemplate his possible election ex'
cept as an evil Of less magnitude than
the continuance of the present dis
gusting state of things.
"The platform is an immense I'm,
provement upon the theories and
practices Of the present adminlstra,
ton. There is nothing in it unaccept-
able to the Southern Democracy, ex.
cept in reference to the Constitutional
Amendments, and there will be no
insupcrable obstacle to a union of the
intelligence and patriotism of the
South upon it even on that point.
But it is premature to speak of what
the action Of the Democratic party
will be. There must be time for re.
Aection and interchange of views and
for a deliberate survey of the field.
That great party is uncommltted as
to it's course. It will not be true to
it's traditions and to it's duty if it act
hastily, excitedly, or under the in
spiration of past prejudice and pas
sion.

Cincinnati Nomination in Washington

WASHINGTON, May Awhile the
nomination eXcites mirth in all high
political circles here, it seriously changes
the probable programme. The Demo
cratic leaders were virtually pledged to
Cincinnati, with Davis as a standard
bearer, but now the shrewdest politicians
predict q square Democratic nomination.
in view Of the interest taken in
the probable action Of the Demo
cratic party, the following from the
World is telcgraphed:
1t editorially expresses profound
surprise at the result in Cincinnati.
Adams, who proved by far the strong
est of all the candidates who had
been expected to be strong in the
Convention, might have been cordial.
y endorsed by the World, as he would
have been cordially supported by the
Democratic party. Greeley can re-
ceive no such endorsement, nor has
he any right to expect any such sup
port.
The Convention has chosen to nom.
mate the most heated and conspicuous
opponent of the Democratic party in
the country. The country called for
revenue reform, and it has selected
the most Jealous protectionists.
This leaves the Democratic party en-,
tirely free to await the developments
Of the immediate future, and opens
the way for possible Democratic
victory. The World will reserve its
Judgment until the meeting of the
National Convention to be called.
Next week there will be National
Committee meeting in this city. The
World recommends an early date for
the assembling of the Convention.
The Philadelphia Age suggests a
straight Democratic ticket.
The New York Herald editorially
welcomes Greeley into the campaign
as a man whom thepeople will always
respect and honor. The Herald adds :
Whether we shall support or oppose
him must be decided by himself: He
has received this nomination, and if
he avoids certain fallacies that have
embarrassed the usefulness Of bis
career, we shall support him.
C1sc1NNArr, May 3-The following
telegram from Greeley was received
here after he had been informed OF his
nomination:
New YonK, May 3.-To Whitelaw
Reid-Please tender my grateful &C.
acknowledgements to the members OF
the Convention for the generous con-
fdencs they have shown me, and as
sure them shall endeavor to deserve
it.
(Signed) Horace GREELEY.
The address of the National Con-
veution Of the Irish American ] League
concludes:
"We take the liberty Of suggesting
the immediate organization Of Greeley
clubs or leagues in every ward, city
and county, and that an efficient State
committee be appointed for q more

"From this date, for a period Of
about six weeks we propose, tor
puroly economical reasons, to suspend
the publication of the Daily RepubIi-
can, and toissue instead q semi-weekly
paper. This will appear on Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons of every

resume the publication of the daily

supporting Republican newspaper,
in this state, necessarily falls on a few,

only lived but one and a half hours after
the accident.

succeeded in completely demolishing 8

their harness, which was strewn promis-
cuously along the road.
Mr.. c. H. Reeve, spoke his piece here
last Saturday, to respectable sized audi
