No Instructions.

| The Richmond State says that every
State delegation that goes to the Nationa
Convention should be instructed. This VI
do not think to be wise, for if every State
should adopt that policy, and the delegates
should stand by their Instructions, as they
would feel bound to do, then it might hap
pen that two thirds vote or even a ma
joritv vote, whichever the Convention
might determine to be necessary, could moi
be obtained, and no nomination could be
made. The States should be represented
By good and wise and patriotic men in
whose sound judgment and patriotism and
principles they repose confidence, and they
should vote as their judgments may dictate
after careful conferences with the dele.
gates from the other States.
1t should bs their object pas only to
nominate men for President and Vice Pres

positions and WAC would represent the

most likely to be elected, for tbs nomina-
lions would be useless unless they be fol-
lowed by election, and who would be most
likely to be elected cannot be determined
except by free and full conference; and
unless some delegations agree to surrender
their choice, no agreement can be secured.
and the harmony of the party cannot be
preserved. The delegates should be free,

GREENVILLE.

Since the State Debt has been practically
settled, and our Legislature has assembled, we
hope the first thing they will do after organic
alton will be to ratify the action of the com>
mittee appointed for that purpose. We can
see even in our town marked improvement
in business and every one seems to be rejoiced
that the vexed question of the State Debt will
soon be 40 more.
In the last few days several parties have been
here looking around after Manganese, Kaolin
and Iron-Ores. Hope some of them may purs
chase or lease and go to york soon.

1t would be much more convenient for us to

high rate Of Freight charged on that road from

Italian, came here from Washington City,
where he had been employed as a caterer at
Willia-ds Hotel. accompanied by young
girl about Is years of age, with whom he had
eloped, and rented a room from DIR. VIM. Chap

opened confectionery store. On last Sunday
it was learned that he had disappeared, leaving
his companion In destitute circumstances.
When these facts were learned, some kind

We noticed the fact. in our last weeks issue,
that Capt. John Il. Melhorn had been severely
paralyzed at Shendun. He was removed from
there to his home on the Shenandoah River,
about miles East of McGaheysville in Rock
ingham county. We are sorry to learn that
after his arrival at his ome he was attacked
with pneumonia which, in his enfeebled con-
dition, speedily resulted in terminating his
life. He was worthy and highly respected
citizen and quite popular with all his acquain-
tances. He was gallant soldier during the
| war between the States. and was captain of a
company in the 10th Virgil mia Infantry Regi-
ment.
