cIay county instructs for her distin-
sn;shed son, F. G. Barry in the Grenada
Convention on the Goth of July.
That q large majority of the Mississip>
!; delegation to the Chicago Convention,
are in favor OF Bayard for President is a
settled fact. No purer Statesman lives
now, or ever did live in this country,
and to make him President, would be
reyiving the best days ofthe Republic.
For a number Of years the Democratic
nartv Of New York has been trying to
aet along without John Kelly, and our
recollection is that when they went in
without him they got badly left, and
with him they were always successful.
This now is not logic, so much as fact.
A postmaster at Redalia, Pitt county,
North Carolina, received for his compen-
sation last year, the grand total OF nine
cents, and got busted. Thirty-four post
masters in the United State, received one
dollar each for their services. So, it is
not a great thing to be Federal post
master, in some places.
The celebration of Spurgeon's tiftieth
birth day last week in England, was an
event of no small moment to the great
leading minds in that country. Begin
ming to preach when a boy, he has
kept on in learning and influence, until
he is felt and respected by all intelligent
classes, and power for good.
Mr.. Joseph Kincaid of Corinth, Miss.
committed suicide on the lst OF July, by
shooting himself through the head with
pistol. Here Just let us remark, that
there never was period in the worlds
history, when suicides were 50 common.
Nor must it be overlooked, that but few
suicides are attributed to drunkenness.
An exchange informs us that the Flor
ida volcano has been found by Capt. Geo.
Asher, who followed up the Amelia river
to its source, and there found a large
number Of pools of water which emit a
thick white smoke The region is very
rocky, and the rocks are hollow and full
of water which is nauseous to the taste.
Representative Dorsheimer, Of New
York, says that he is still for Cleveland,
notwithstanding all the reports to the
contrary but the question is, is the
Democracy OF New York for him? Mr..
D. is a good man and true Democrat,
but it takes more than one spinal column
to bolster up the New York Democracy.
OF all the Blaine Republican battling
papers, the New York Times is the most
bitter and unrelenting and the article
in its last weeks columns, entitled, "a
Party and its Thieves" places a gulf be-
tween it and reconciliation too wide to be
recrossed. The Times is very able
journal, but how far its mad course to
Blaine will give it influence amongst the
Independents, remains to be seen.
No matter what may be the opinion OF
the "disgruntled high privates OF the
Confederate army OF Tennessee" Mr.. i.
T. Reid, the nominee of the Republicans
Of Tennessee, is as brilliant as he is de
termined, and was a true blue to the
South during the four years of'unpleas-
antness, as he has been since that time
to the Republican party; and Gov.Bates
has in him competitor every way wor-
thy of his best and brightest steel.
The probabilities are, that the country
is going to be over cropped with parties
before the campaign closes. There will
be the Republican and Democratic
straight out. Then, there will be the
Greenback and working mems party,
then, the party of Independent or bolt
ing Republicans, then, the Prohibi'
ton. and Anti-Prohibition parties
What livley times there will be amongst
the sovereigns, each one riding the horse
Of his own choice.
Gen. Crooks address to the late grad
uating class at West Point, is marked by
none o. that namby pamby glory, tha
generally attaches to plumes and epu'
lettes, boots and spurs. But it is tht
plain words Of man Of large experience
who has often been placed in trying po
sitions to make war because he had t.
fight, but always preferring that highe
sense of duty, that led him TO sheath hi
sword, when honest counsel would an
swer the purpose.
