And yet, looking beneath the surface we
love to note such incidents for they tell a
story of true manhood and character such
as our enemies were fond of saying could
not be found among the degenerate old
sl%ave-holding stock. Suffice to say the
young machinist was Basil Manly, son of
ex-J Judge, ex-U. S. Senator, NJ. r. Manly,
and a nephew of Gov. Manly. Ten years
ago, seeing that life must be met in a manly
manner, he entered a Railroad machine
shop as a mere apprentice or journeyman
In time became an engineer; in time secured
the appointment of master machinist, or
superintendent of the road shops. 1t was
an hard hill to climb, but he has already
reached a sure footing, and is independent
of the world.
The other youth, the dust grimed but
genteel, young engineer, on the r. 4 G. r.

Drury Lacy, and nephew Of halfa-dozen
Doctors OF Divinity, including the gifted
Moses d. Hoge, we believe. After gradua-
ting from college, Capt" Ben tried various
means Of livelihood then pulled off his
coat and picked up the sledge and drill in
the shops-a brave thing to do within sight
OF his onte-LeUene home. He, too, soon
arose to the command Of an engine. And

The DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL NOMINEES.
1t is too late to cumber our columns with
accounts OF the Cincinnati convention. Suf-
flee, that after two days sparring the lines
were formed and a ballot held with the fol-
lowing result Whole vote cast. 1853 Bay
ard 1859, Field IS, Morrison 60, Hendricks
49,, Hancock III. Thurman 6S5l, Seymour
$, Lowland 5, Payne 81, Mcdonald 3, Ran
dali 3, Tilden SO, Lathrop ], McClelland 2.
Black ], English |, Parker /, Jewett |,
Ewing Il. The convention adjourned until
Thursday morning, when two more ballots
were taken The second ballot: Hancock
4l6, Bayard Ills, Field 659, Hendricks 81,
Thurman SO, Tilden g., Randall l29, levitt
/, Parker 2, English 10.
The third ballot nominated Gen. Win
field Scott Hancock by 6S5 to 80 for Hen
bricks and , for Bayard. This occurred
at the hour of high noOn-prognostic of
the National Conservative Party.
The announcement was received with q
wild out burst which was at once a sigh Of
relief from threatened perils, and a high
tide IN the fortunes of p8an OF victory about
to be won.
The nomination of the gallant Pennsylva-
nlan made the success of English, of Indiana
Western aspirant. Accordingly an hour la
ter the news flashed the land that VIM.
IL. English had received the nomination for
VICE President without opposition.
And now the enthusiasm boiled over. The
bands played Dixie and Yankee Doc
de-, while common Numbered and i'm
mense cheering shook the vast edifce.
John Kelly and Augustus Schell, the Tam
many leaders who last fall carried away 80
900 votes from the De nocratic candidate
entered the convention, amid great applause,
and after declaring that the nomination of
Hancock and English had healed all differ
ences, pledged 50, 600 majority in New York
tor the ticket. This event is far from the
least important Of the year. There is no
DOUBT that Iammany can make good its
pledge; and there is equal certainty that
with New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana
solid for the new ticket it must win
Tins feeling already prevails throughout the
land. Within four hours after the comma
tons were announced ten thousand guns were
booming from Maine to Texas, and fifty
thousand Hancock clubs were being or
gained. Even In North Carolina,
where the effect Of machine-wor in our
State convention disheartened thousands.
and cast a damper upon party enthusiasm,
the kilograms from Cincinnati produced a
sufficient spirit to call out a salute of 100
guns at Raleigh, at Wilmington, and at
Charlotte. Democratic clubs were also or,
ganlzed at Charlotte, Smithfeld, Raleigh,
and elsewhere; and a number of Hancock
and English" flags were hoisted.
Let us hope that a better day is dawning
tor the Nation, and that our State NAV de-
rive a due share therein.
1t may be noted as a good augury that
both Gen. Grant, and the New York Her
od within a fortnight declared that there
was no chance of the Democrats doing SO
wise a thing as dropping Tilden, Hendricks

WESTWARD Holt is not unlikely that
the completion of Mr.. Best's railway be-
tween Asheville and Paint Rock NAV pro-
duce surprising results. Those persons who
tor several generations nave dreamed of
draining the products of the Highlands to
our Lowland ports, will discover with
amazement the tide of traffic and travel
turning Westward rather than Eastward.
1t IS well-known that even to-day, with 50
miles OF rough staging to surmount, the
merchants OF Buneombe, Madison, and 9TH
er counties, have more business with Knox
vile and ~Lynchburg than with Raleigh, or
Wilmington. 1t is well known that the
seven Southwestern counties find all their
market at Atlanta, Georgia, or along the
Airline Railway.
1t IS no less a fact that the entire product
OF Henderson, Pennsylvania, Polk, Ruther-
ford, and other counties, goes Southwark,
to charleston IT not sold en- route. It is
quite as certain that the day which witnesses
the completion Of the road to Paint Rock
Will see the closing of the Is miles interval
between Asheville and the S%partanburg-
Charleston Railroad.
thus the people of the Blue Ridge can
ship their fruit, grain, cattle, and forage to
charleston and Atlanta their tobacco TO
L%ynchburg; and their minerals to the
Northward via the great trunk line to Rich
mond, West Point, and Baltimore. Travel
VIII take the same route and no man west
OF the Blue Ridge will think Of .oming
Eastward except on pleasure or political
trips: 1t will be the 'North Carolina Sys-
tenn SIMPLY reversed, for the benefit of
alrgInla, Tennessee, Georgia, and South
Carolina. We say this without any wish to
prevent such a consumation. The people
OF the mountain region are entitled to have
facilities for reaching points most favorable
to their trade.
