rate of 100000 year for the last six
months. If Leadville has done so much
with no railroad nearer than thirty-two
miles, what may be expected when the
road now running from Denver to Bue-
ma Vista will be finished us far us Lead
vile? Indeed, it is propablc that the
Denver and Rio Grande road also will
soon be extended to Leadville, opening
up traffic along the Arkansas river. At
present passenger travel and hauling
must be done by means of stages and
wagons between Leadville and Buena
Vista. There has been no robbing done,
however, since Judge Lynch hanged two
fellows last fall. Indians are not feared
as there are none nearer than the Gun

and they are fast disappearing from

there, and grespsd the standard 10 hold
u eloof from Pennsylvania, but its plucky
posseesor was too determined upon char
ing the greatness Of, the hour, and With
ono fearful wrench he loosed the stand.
ard and 10 an instant IL was proudly
waving with the other banners around
the victorious standard of Pennsylvania.
After the cheering had partially subsided
Wisconsin asked TO change her vote.
Sone friends OF the defeated candidates
objected, but the demand vas so univer.
sal from within aud without the bar of
the Convention that the right was ac-
corded. Ohio, South Carolina and every
other State changed to Hancock except
Indiana, two votes from Maryland and
one from lows, 60 thas the ballot stood,
Hancock 700, Hendricks 80, Bayard 2,
and Iilden 1. The vote was then made
unanimous, and tho applause again be-
came deafening. The grand organ
struck up, bnt after few minutes it's
notes were lost In the wild delnonstra-
tions Of delight from the audience
Hundreds of strong men Wcpt from Joy
and delight. AS aoon as the applause
began to die away the band played 'sHail
Columbia, Happy Land" tho American
hymn of liberty. and we have never
heard piece of music sound 80 grand
and solemn and sweet.
AZ its conclusion the applause was re-
newed, and the loudest calls were made
for Kelly, who mounted the platform
and pledged the Tammany vote of New
York TO Hancock, and gave It as his
judgment that he would carry the State
by at least 10000 majority. Col. Eel
lows, representing the Tilden party,
pledged that party 70 the ticket, and an
other grand acene followed when John
Kelly stepped up, and these two leaders
of the two factions Of the party In New
York kehook hands and buried the hstchet.
The work was done. English was nom
inatcd,b by acclamation, and the Conyen.
tion adjourned without jar or ecism
to distrrb the harmony or weaken the
efficiency Of the party. It was grand
body, of men, and did Its grand work in
that noble spirit which is always neces-
sary TO accomplish sublime results.

tion,' said Mr.. Clampett, with emphasis,
'and bis part in the Surratt execution will
not affect him, as the General only

that Is recognized by all well-informed
Democrats. Gen. Hancock was not in
the court room during the entire time,

came. into the penitentiary, and was met
by me. Hancock said: Il am carrying

Father Walter, who was Mrs. Surratts
spiritual adviser, said: "I do not desire
to become mixed up with politics. Gen.
Hancock has letter which explains my
opinion of the part he took in the exc
cution." tft
The New York World says that when
Gen. Hancock's attention was called
Thursday TO paper containing charges
against him in connection with Mrs. Sur
rats execution, he pronounced them
downright falsehoods, without one
scintilla Of foundation" He added that
he was not on the defensive, having
nothing to defend himself from, but
named Gen. F. A. Darr, of New York,
eX-Congressman Tarbox, of 5fassachu-
sets, and others, who knew all the facts,
and would quash such falsehoods.

The Chicago Times is decidedly ruf.
fed by Hancock's nomination. It rays :

"Mr. w. s. Hancock got so ueor the
front on two several occasions that he
was wounded. This does not betray dis
cretion. htr. Hancock should have kept
out of the bullets"
No doubt all Of the Republicans regret
that Hancock got SO near to the front,
for by it he proved his true manhood
and nobility. His valor and bis honor
were vindicsted, and when the war was
over he could afford TO make peace With
out any danger of cowardice being at
tributed to him. Like all Of The bloody.
shirt politicians, the innocent Garfield
kept out OF the reach of bullets, and
when tho bloody rebels pushed him 60
close at Chickamauga as TO leave un.
pleasant impressions of what might have
been, he showed the "discrefion" TO leave
the army. AS natural consequence, he
has been extremely valiant ever since
the war In denunciation of the South to
make ep for what he did not do in 6ght-
ing when the opportunity presented it.

never drove canal boat, but he has
done moro for the Union. He has driven

The building of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad from Cincinnati to Chattanoo-
GO by the Queen City Of the West, at an
expense Of eighteen millions of dollars,
has shortened the distance from oil points
In South Carolina by about three hun
dred miles, and saves about thirteen
hours In travel. This great achievement
has been worked out by the energy, and
brain, and money Of the city of Cincin-
natl In the interest Of her commerce,
and on Monday, the 2lat of June, the
engineers Of this great road begar the
survey of route from Emory Gap,
aeventy.seven miles above @ Chattanooga, to
Knoxville, 10 which point It is intend.
cd to build road, to be part OF Tie
Cincinnati Southern, which is TO be com
pleted very soon. This route, which is
some forty p,iles further than the pro-
posed routs by Chitwood, has been
selected because IL is cheaper in con.
Iatructics, anu because it VIII give the
Cincinnati Southern the control of the
road from Cincinnati to Knoxville, while
the route by Chitwood would be depen-
der apon terma to be made from time to
Tins with the East Tennessee ard yir-
ginia road.
Tho completion of this road will leave
|oniy the link Of one hundred and forty
four miles Of the Blue Ridge road from
Wslhalla to Maryville to be finiahed In
order to shorten the dit.Ance between
Cincinnati md the cities Of this State by
more than one hundred and fifty .miles
over the present shortened route. Then
the building of tho Savannah Valley
road TO Aiken will shorten the distance
for Charleston more than ilfty additional
miles, putting Charleston over two hun
dred miles nearer Cincinnati than slie Is
now. The West is reaching out her
hands for Southern connections, and
every consideration Of business and ma
terial dey ,.opment prompts that South
Carolina shall at once put forth her ener-
giles 70 construct the road to Knoxville,
that We may enjoy the greatest adyan-
tages OF all the Southern States In West
eEn commerce. Now isthe timo ta act.

General Trade.

There has been no marked Auctua-
ton in prices during the past week.
Receipts have been meagre owing to
the holiday season and its attendant
festivities, keeping laborers and shin.
pers too much employed to give atten-
ton to commercial matters. The
weather has been soft and Spring-like
for some days, and we have had only
aslight taste of the fierce blasts of
winter so far. The markets for game
and poultry, together with all classes
OF fresh meats have been considerably
depressed by the unreasonable tenn
perature. A heavy rain set in last
night, and will again put country roads
in a miserable condition. for travel
The absence of rain for some time
past had allowed highways to dry 50

back to further intercourse for a
period. Two steamers left St. Louis

The market opened to day with
q farther improved tone, an advance
abroad stimulating the feeling. The
soaking rain, however, checked opera
tons, and the days sales is not likely
to be heavy. The sales on Saturday
were the heaviest on record, and foot
up 5000 bales. Several tables chang
ed hands of from 1000 down to a
hundred bales. The market was
quiet and without change through all
of holiday week, but an improvement
abroad on Saturday caused great activ-
ity here in all circles, spinners taking
the bulk and getting ZOO bales, while
exporters took 1900 bales and specula-
tors 300, The weeks sales were a.
800 bales, divided to exporters 24OO,
to spinners 11,750, to spectators $50.
The market closed firm at &c advance
