ballots, ii is idle to predict the final result.
We can only await the issue to-day. One
thing, however, ia placed beyond a doubts
which is that the proclaimed opposition to
Grant and the third-term in the Republican
party Is widespread and deep seated.
The Republican convention, OF 1875 at
Cincinnati on the 18th of June, nominated
Hayes on the seventh ballot, Blaine having
started with 2S5 votes in delegation of 1852
members. In 1872, at Philadelphia, on the
9Th of June, CIR mt received the entire vote of
all the States and territories on the first bal
lot. In 1868, at Chicago, on the 2lst Of
May, Grant received 6l0 votes, and was thus
nominated on the first ballot. In 1854, at
Baltimore, on the 7th of June, Abe Lincoln
was nominated on the first ballot by unahi-
nous vote, except of Missouri, that voted for
Grant. In 1860, at Chicago, on the 10th Of
May, on the third ballot Abe Lincoln was
nominated, Seward being the strongest OPP
ponent. In 1856, at Philadelphia, on the 18th
of June, John G. Fremont was nominated
on the first ballot. The foregoing review
shows how unanimous has heretofore been
the workings of Republican conventions, and
the present hitch at Chicago is the first gum
as II were, that has been fred for many q
weary year, that bears upon the bosom of
the breeze the harbinger Of Democratic sue
cess in the near future.

Total mileage Morgan combina-
ton, feeders and connecting

The combination, therefore, embraces SS4
miles of track, while the connecting lines
and valuable feeders are nearly as much
more. There can be no doubt, then, that
our merchants will have access to the vast
scope of country traversed by these roads on
the most favorable conditions. A glance at
the map will show the strong trade draft to-
ward New Orleans which this splendid COM
bination will at once lnaugurate. Even from
Houston the longest hanl is in the direction
of New Orleans, and 1t is now accepted as a
cardinal principle of railway management to
work for the longest haul, at an average
freight rate, to enable every mile of track to
earn as much as possible. Cotton at Corsi-
cana, instead of going north on pro rata.
to be hsuld across the continent by rail, will
come through Houston to New Orleans. and
this will be the case whether it is seeking a
market or on its way to the New England
mails. The same policy which brings trade
will take it, and importers and grocers will
be placed upon footing TO compete for the
business of the entire sections covered by this
splendid railway syctem.

WADE HAMPTON'5 LAST,

Senator Wade Hampton has been
doing good service for the repubs
lican cause from the day Gen. Hans
cock was nominated down to the
present time. Indeed, his aid to
the republican party began a long
time prior to that date. His speech
delivered several years ago before
the southern historical association,
wherein he alluded to the lessons in
politics being taught to southern
children, had good effect by way
of opening the eyes of the people Of
the north to the spirit of certain
class of southern leaders. When
he boastingly pledged the 138 cleo
toral votes of the solid south to the
Hancock ticket, he did much to
draw the sharp distinction between
national republicanism aud section
al democracy. When he made his
Stanton, Virginia, speech he gave
a definition Of democratic principles
that has thrown a flood Of light on
the views, aims and purposes of that
organization. That the definition
thus given by distinguished dem
ocrat like Gen. Hampton, has made
thousands Of republican votes, We
have not the slightest doubt. Gen.
Hampton saw this himself and at
tempted to deny having made such
a speech, but the proof against him
was so overwhelming that his denial
amounted to nothing.
And now comes his impairment
letters to Secretary Sherman, pub
lished in our press dispatches yes
terday morning, in which he dis
plays his plantation manners by in>
timating that he meant to fight. AS
a campaign document, these letters
will be very valuable to republicans
in the northern states, and they will
not be slow to use it. "Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad" Hampton has been mad for
some time and he is doing a great
deal to destroy his party.

GENERAL HANCOCK AND THE
TARIFF,

To say that General Hancock, in
writing his recent letter on the tar
if question, has "put his footin it, "
is putting it very mildly. Senator
Randolph, in persuading Hancock
to write such letter, is guilty of a
great blunder. His object, of
course, was to bolster up his party
in New Jersey and assure his own
reelection to the senate, and he
wanted Gen. Hancock to strengthen
the ticket by taking a position in
advance of the national democratic
platform. While he may succeed
in making the high tariff democrats
believe he is in favor of a protective
tariff, he has Disguised the thinking
voters of the land by assuming to

travelling in opposite directions. The
feelings of a large class are doubt
less expressed in the following from
the New York Herald:
The simple question which we have
no d0utt Senator Randolph meant to
ask General Hancock was this: III Che

We havere received from Mr.. Sneed,
proprietor of the Lamar house, a
letter setting forth his side of the
case, and we take great pleasure in
giving it to the public, inasmuch as
he says that the CHRONICLES res
port of the same did him injustice.
1t seems, according to. him, that he
asked those having the raising of the
banner in charge, not to put it up
before it was elevated, and that it
was pulled up only to let the streets
car under. He did this, he says,
because in the first place he wanted
no banner of either party hung up
before his h ouse, because even the
smaller one had worked him harm
in his business, and because the
banner was SO large as to obstruct
the view from the veranda of the
hotel. None of his present inmates
objected, but several of those who
had patronized him in the past had
left him on account of political
prejudices, and it was against a
repetition Of this kind he wished to
guard. From his standpoint it is
easy to excuse, or rather to justify
his course, and we submit it to the
people.
