The Cincinnati Nominations How
They are Received.

We publish on onr first page extracts
from various journals, North and South,
as reflex Of public opinion with re-
gard to the recent nominations of the
Cincinnati Convention.
iii the South, they are supported with
considerable unanimity. AS the PAe-
niG remarks, "ninety-nine in every
hundred Democratic or Conservative
papers in the South favor the endorse
mcnt of Greeley and Brown. The At
lanta San, Savannah Ncars and Lois
vile Ledyer are the only papers in the
South that we have seen or heard of as
advising a separate nomination."
At the North there is evrry diversity
|, of sentiment among Republicans and
Democrats. The Irish very generally
support the ticket, but the Germans and
free-traders oppose it. The Democracy
for the most part are Oh the fence, await
| ing the action of the Baltimore Con-
vention. The Grant men at first pre-
tended to laugh at the nomination, but
they are now certainly regarding it with
fear and trembling. The enthusiasm
with which it has been received in the
Republican ranks, was unexpected, and
the proposition seems to he seriously
considered of withdrawing Grant as a
nominee. Matters are still in an luck
plicable ferment, and the action OF
Democrats as we'll as Republicans can
not yet be foretold. The reported threat
of Greeley to withdraw in case an in
dependent ticket is run at Baltimore,
may prevent that result; whilst to find
stronger man than Grant, Will be the
problem at Philadelphia.
The New York correspondent of the
Charleston News TINS gives the position
of the journals of that city.
1.-THE local press is still discussing the
nomination with feeling. The Even
ing Post, representing the free trade
Republicans, is all gall and wOrmwOod.
rhe Times is nllder in its treatment OF
Mr.. Greeley-showing evidence that lis
hilarity has turned to wholesome fear.
| rhe World continues to advocate Sept
rate Democratic action. The Herald
! veered around point in favor Of Grant
| to-day. The Sun is eXuberant with its
new sensation. The Irish papers have
all come out for Greeley. They claim
MIN as the grandson of an Irishman.
The Stats Zeitung, the leading German
paper, looks to the Reunion and Reform
Convention, which was lately in session
in Cincinnati, and which adjourned
over until next month, to give tile coun-
try candidate that Germans can sup
port. Frank Leslie's paper is out pic
lorially in favor OF Greeley, Matt Nor
yan's cartoon for this week being very
clever. Everybody looks forward to
Nast's next with eagerness and curiosi.
~. He is expected to surpass himself
on the subject of the candidate.

THE MoUNTA1NEER.-Our friends of
the GreenriNc Mountainecr have just re-
ceived an outfit of new type, and we
congratulate them upon the neat and
tasteful appearance of their paper.
Messrs. Hayden brothers are the pub
lishcrs,-Mr. It. A. Hayden editor,-G.
E. Elford, and 6. G.. Wells associate
editors, s,-whose names furnish guaran-
tee Of ability in the editorial and typo
graphical departments: They say:
This week we make change in the
arrangement or our paper: We COM
mence the editorials on the first page
and our locals on the fourth, each fol-
lowed with news matter. Our inside
we devote to general miscellany. This
gives the reader the advantage Of read
ing the news, both local and general, at
once, without opening the paper. After
which he may at his leisure scan the
less important articles on the inside. 1t
is also an advantage to our advertisers,
as their notices strike the eye as soon az
the paper is taken in hand. We think
all will be benefited by the change, and
will like the arrangement after becoming
accustomed to it,"

DRY, Dry, DRr.-All signs Of rain
seem to be failing in the present dry
spell. IT lightens in the North in
vain-thc moon changes and quar-
tcrs without result, prophets are
aghast and farmers hang their heads.
In the mean time the arid fields and
thirsty gardens make their silent ap-
pcals to the winds and the clouds
but as yet there is no rain. A friend.
Mr.. A. e. Lesly, Of our vicinity, tells
US of a sign that is infallible. When
You sec the salt in the salt-cellar be-
gin to liquity, then prepare for the
rain is nigh. But alas! our friends
salt gives 10 promise, but remains
dry. Watch your salt-cellars; for
they are the best Of barometers.

CoNvENTIoN.-We are Informed that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com

issue tickets to and from Baltimore at
one fare for the round trip. Doubtless
every facility will be afforded for all
corners at that time; and our other lines
Of transport will doubtless initiate the
example so promptly set by the Balti-

purpose OF inspecting "A number OF sample
tracks of a mile in length on each OF the

of the company to improve the main line of
the road by putting down third track
through as speedily as possible, and these
sample tracks were ordered to be put down
rs a preliminary step toward the improve
ment = prize was also offered to the Su-
pervisor making the best track. That prize
was awarded to Mr. Samuel Dobson, a super
