We are panied to observe that our be-
loved Brother Yost seems to have lost his
confidence in John Sherman almost as COM
pletely as his confidence in Malone. And
it seems that Sherman and Malone must
by this time have lost some of the conf
dence in themselves and in each other. We
doubt not that each of them sometimes
curses himself "till he's black in the face"
for having been "too previous" in that Csc
cret and confidential attack on Blame Of
the two conspirators we suppose that Ma
hone feels somewhat the easier in mind, as
he had probably preached Sherman's "bar'l

When Gen. W. II. F. Lee was address
ing the House of Representatives on Friday
in behalf of the appropriation to pay for
losses to the theological Seminary at Alex
andria during the war, ''smart Aleck" on
the Republican side inquired, ''For which
side did those preachers pray?" Gen. Lee
at once replied, 'They prayed for all sinners
and left it to the Lord to determine who
they were" 1t was an answer worthy OF

DEATH OF MR. JONATHAN SIRoS.-Mr, Jon
athap Siron died suddenly of beart-disease on
Monday of last week at his residence, three
mile, north Of Mcdowell, Highland county.
Of him the Highland Recorder says:
"Mr. Sron was in the highest acceptation OF
the term. a good citizen and neighbor. The
best testimony of this fact is borne by the poor
and needy of his nelghborhood none of whom
were ever turned away without assistance. H.
was q man possessed OF a goodly portion ofthiS
worlds goods but he did not use them IN g
selfish aud stinted manner nor yet lavishly
butin a large degree in alleviating the wants
| of the needy. This disposition made him
| friends and rendered him influential in his
| neigh borhood. He will be sadly missed by al
| in his community, and especially the poorer
| classes feel and depiore his DEATH
| He leaves large family connection to mourn
| his sudden and unexpected departure, to whom
we extend our sincere sympathy and condo
! lence in their deep affection. Peace TO bis

MARCH CAME IN LIKE A LAMB.-As on the
first day of March the weather was calm and
the temperature mild, though cloudy, with
the mercury registering about COZ, March
may be said to have come in like a lamb, and
by the old adage, may be expected to go out
like a lion; but there is about as little truth or
reason in this as in many other sayings that
are accepted because they are old, as the
grounding sign, the phases of the moon. etc.

The Republican National Convention.

If we are to judge from the expressions
of opinion in the press and from prominent
Republicans all over the country, Mr.
Blaine will probably be the nominee of the
Chicago convention, Notwithstanding his
letter stating that his name would not be
presented to that body. The belief is prev
alent that with any other candidate the
party would risk the Pacific States-that it
would lose much Of the vote in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, which, with
any other candidate, would be undeter-
mined, and virtually abandon all hope of
any Southern State. While no safe calcula-
ton can be made upon the electoral sup
port of any State South of the Potomac,
with Mr.. Blaine there would be fighting
chance for Virginia, West Virginia and
North Carolina. Certainly if he could not
carry one or more of them, no other candi-
date could. The same may be said of the
States of New York, New Jersey, Connect
