Republican Opposition to Grant.

There is growing feeling of discomfort
the leaders in trying to forestall public
opinion and force Grant on the party. So
general is this feeling, that some of the
most stalwart papers in the country, here
tofore silent, have lately added their pro
test against Grants candidacy. The New
York Tribune says:i
we impute no improper design to
Gen. Grant personally, but we intend to
re5uke the ranters who forget that the cry
for strong" government, as they make
It, is for government above the law. The
American people do not want that kind of
government"
The Philadelphia Press (Forney's paper)
the leading sstalWart paper of Pennsyl-
vania. and heretofore Cameroaian in ten
dency, has seen the handwriting on the
wall and says
In Pennsylvania everybody knows that
the movement for Gen. Grants nomiDa
ton is hollowness itself. In New York
this is also now demonstrated. The intel
hgence of both States is against it. The
sober Judgment OF the party revolts at il.
anu tue cum mon sense OF the country pre-
sents an inflexible hostility to it"
La the meanwhile Cameron, Logan,
Sharon and the other Grant managers
smile complacently, and go right along

Chicago convention for Grant. regardless
of all opposition. And they will succeed.

cago with unbroken front. prepared to ex-
ereise her imperial influence for the. never
vanquished hero of Appomatox." To

vention. Now she will have potential voice
and power commensurate with her own

From the Port Jervis Union (rep.l Feb 81.
With the exception of the passage o.
the resolution named, the minority in the
Utica Convention has every reason to be
satisfied with the proceedings. The GUS
tom which has hitherto prevailed of allow
ing districts to select delegates was not
interfered with. and the utmost freedom
Of discussion prevailed Of the seventy
delegates elected about twenty are oppos-
ed TO the nomination of General Grant.
They will feel in honor bound to regard the
state instructions. but the moral weight
which these delegates will exert in the
convention cannot be without its effect,
and it is questionable if all the minority
should feel the instructions binding should
the convention deny thesright OF States to
instruct.
From the Bucks county pa Gazette (rep) Feb

If all republicans who deprecate the ex-
Presidents nomination. which is the ouly
nomination which can disturb the harmony
of the party, were outspokeu in their
determination not to support him if nomi-
mated, there would be little talk of his
nomination. 1t is comparatively little
trouble to take horse to a stream, but it
is very difficult to make him drink if not
so inclined, Let the party leaders see
that the people will not follow where they
lead and they will lead where tbs people
will follow.

Harnett Happenings,

The annual pic nc at kiyettss Mills
passed off pleasantly, on Friday Of last
week. The attendance was between four
and five hundred. In the absence Of the
orator of the day, Hon. W. c. Troy, we
were entertained with some impromptu re-
marks by Col. b. Fuller, of Fayetteville, and
other good speakers. Wake, Johnston.
Cumberland, Sampson, Moore and Chatham.
were represented and the occasion Is spoken
of as a grand success and rejecting much
credit upon the managers. But a. for that
they never fail TO have a good time At hi
Vets Mills. The editor Of the Fayetteville
Ecantsa>r was present aud took back quite
a list of subscribers.
On Saturday the county nominating con
v%ention was held at Ellington. Mr.. ID. f..
Green was nominated Tor the Legislature
and a good ticket was chosen. We mean 10
roll up a majority to be proud Of.
A serious affair occurred in the evening:
a respectable negro being killed by being
struck on the head with a double barrel
gun in the hand of one W. II. johnson.
The negro was trying TO command peace,
and separate parties who We're trying 10
fight, when he was struck. There was
no cause for the lick whatever it must have
been a mistake on the part os Johnston,
who fled Immediately TO parts unknown. \
meeting Of the citizens of the county was
held in the court house yesterday, condemn
ing all such atfrays and disturbances, and
lamenting the untime.y death of such n
good colored citizen. We think 1t is time
the Legislature should stop the sale of all
intoxicating drinks at public and political
gatherings and meetings Of every descrip-
tien, for such disturbances often happen
at Ellington; and they always grow out of
drunkenness, either on liquor or cider.
There was a large Hancock, Jarvis aud
Shackelford club formed in this part of the
county a few days ago, with Isaac s. vii,
liams, President, and W. r. Kinett, Secre-
tary. | don't think there is one in the dis
trict left out. Oh, for a million just such
clubs. Send on the Farmer and Mechanics;
it is undoubtedly the best and most newsy
paper in the State. Yours,
BACHELOR.
Our mot 'Old) Bachelor friend has
given us a very readable letter; and, like
every other well-wisher of the paper, is
urged to keep us posted from week To week.
Even a postal card item may add very largely
to the value of our columns. Aud we wish
young friends, ofboh seres, to show their
interest IN the paper 10y sending personal,
social, political, and business, items from
every county in Carolina.
