Gen. Grants reception in Augusta was
most agustful, and ought to satisfy him that
the people Of the South are quite as civilized
and hospitable as some OF the other people
he met in swinging around the outside
world.-State.
This paragraph has reference to the cor
dial and even enthusiastic reception of Gen
Grant in Augusta, Ca, by the citizens gen.
orally, irrespective of parties or race, and
including the city officials. Nothing but the
highest respect was shown him throughout
his rapid transit through the Southern
States where opportunity was presented for
demonstration. at Atlanta, Savannah, Au.
gusta, Ca, at Beaufort and other points 10
South Carolina, the people, Of both parties,
and of all classes availed themselves of the
occasion to testify their regard for the great
soldier and citizen who is recognized at
home and abroad as the first man of his ma
tion.
The sentiment OF respect manifested for
Gen. Grant everywhere he has been, wheth-
er in the United States, or liz the old world,
is brought in contrast with that shown by
the State and the Dispatch, when 1t was
thought probable he would stop in Rich
mond day, in passing through the South.
en- route for Cuba. These papers entered a
protest to any public demonstration or indi-
cation of unusual respect, and urged that he
be allowed to pass completely unnoticed, as
representing the supreme Indifference of the
people OF that city towards him. They
thought it beneath the dignity of the citi-
Gems Of Richmond to honor the man who
had so considerably regarded their condi
ton ia 1865 that he would not allow his army
to march through the streets of the capital of
thegConfederacy, to add to the humiliation OF
the defeat the South had been compelled to
recognize-that it was ,unbecoming In the
august denizens of the City OF the Hills, to
show respect to the soldier and civilian
who had been the kindest friend, in all the
tide OF time, towards the people OF Vir-
ginia, not only in 1865, when he interposed
his great influence to arrest the harsh treat
ment threatened by President johnson In
the Indictment of Gen. Lee, but in 1869,
when he remanded the control of the State
to her own citizens by his liberal action in
the contest over the DISTINGUISHING clause Of
the Constitution of that year. Oh. no it
would not do for the superior people of Rich
mond to compromise themselves by paying
due respect to an American citizen whose
circuit of the globe had been grand ova-
tIon, and whose own countrymen, from Cal
ifornia to Maine, had just testified the SUI
preme pleasure it afforded them to recognize
his worth and services.
The bitterness of the spirit thus mani
tested by the papers referred 1--WE are sure
finds no Judgment with the great mass OF
the people of the State, as will be signifi-
csntIy shown should coming events give
them an opportunity to record their senti-
ments at the ballot-box.

Ghasily Discovery in the Woods A
 Young Man Reheaded and Mutila- lited.
 NEWMARKET, April 11.-Friday after noon, while three little girls were picking Mayfowers in the woods, at Durham, N. H., they discovered the headless body of a young man. It was in nearly nude state. The town authorities were immediately noti- fled, and an investigation showed that 8 brutal murder had been committed, but by whom is yet 8 mys- tery. The body was found lying face downwards at full length, with both arms resting underneath, and only covered with a shirt. The right arm was severed from the body at the shoulder, and the head had also been cut off, and has not been found. About 300 feet away were found his coat, pantaloons and vest and i'll another direc- tion, some twenty-five feet distant, linen collar, cap, necktie and shirt bosom, which had been torn completely off. There were three gold studs, with garnet settings, in the shirt bosom. The top part of the skull, minus the hair, nearly the size of a saucer, and the murderer's oak club, about three feet long, were also found, in little clearing It is evident that here the murder was committed Several pieces of skull and brain were scattered about, and torn clothing all indicating the victims struggle for life. The authorities are carefully investigating. Meanwhile great excitement prevails in the neighborhood.

Tilden Defeat.

SYRACUSE, April 11.-In those Assembly -distriet conventions held by the Democrats in this city yesterday Tilden was routed. The entire delegation to the State convention, to be held in this city on the 20th inst, are op- posed to the nomination of Tilden for the Presidency. The First and Second Assembly district conventions were characterized by comparative harmony. despite the fact that the Tilden people lacked only four CT five votes of controlling the Second District convention. In the Third district the proceedings were very tumultuous. It was there that the TiIden faction made their fercest fight. Of the twenty four delegates in the convention there were eight cen opposed to Tilden. The latter, however, had the organization, and sought to carry their points by storm. The proceedings were so boistsrous that the police rushed into the hall, and it was only their presence which prevent ed the delegates from coming to blows The Tilden chairman refusing to order roll call on any question he was cried down by the in
 dignant convention, and was finally obliged to leave the desk for very shame. The six Tilden delegates named a set of delegates to the State

tempt to Rifte a SAfes
 HAvERsTRAw, April 11.-An attempt was made yesterday morning to rob the safe of the Rockland Print Works at Garnerville, in which several thousand dollars were deposited The safe is placed in an office some distance from the works, and at night it is left in charge of v7atchman. An elderly man named Cooper has of late been serving in that capac- ity, and he was at his post during the entire night without noticing any suspicious strang- CTS until about half past in the morning when he went out of doors to get some coal As he was nearing the office he was suddenly flung to the ground, and four or five dark figures appeared around him, from one of which came a threat to take his life if he stirred or said g word. Cooper noticed that his assailants were all masked, and made a display of the weapons they carried. Without delay they hurried him into the office, where they bound him hand and foot and fastened him in chair. With drill they then bored hole in the face of the safe about four inches from the lock, which they filled with powder. This they exploded, but with no other result than to force the bolts out of place. The jar of the explosion awakened the inmates of tenement house near the office, and summoned 8 watchman on duty in the dye house. The burglars had taken the alarm, though, and beat hasty retreat. Ao- cording to the description furnished by Coop CT, who was found gagged where they had left him, the men were all robust fellows, and one of them, who spoke to him kindly, seemed to be young man. In their flight the men abandoned kit of burglars tools which seem to be of excellent workmanship.

The disgraceful actions of the Tilden people have been the comment of every mouth. State Committee man Henry J.
