James A. Garfield except Grant. While we feci that victory is now an easy mstter, the opportunity may be lost by an injudicious nomination at Cm cinnaii, or by the inactivity of our party Democrats must not go upon the presutnp- ti m chat anybody csn beat Garfiel J, nor t bat oven a strong candidate will be elected with out the voto of every member of the party There must be no drones in the hive. Th nation has been too long in the hands of th corrupt republican rulers, and every ma Bhould make it a matter of personal interest to himself to put an end to 6Uch adminislru' tions. A retur:i to good old Democrati limes is not only possible, but probable There is dissatisfaction and contention in th ranks of the opposition and they may b esdly overthrown if wiso counsel and soun judgment shall prevail at the coming Con vention. But If the gathering at Cincinnal shall be but a repetition of the mob at Ch cago and bitterness ot feeling ehall be en gendered among the leaders , then may on golden opportunity be lost and disaster an defeat bo the result next November.

With Buch nominee let the Democracy adopt the uni rule Txt the polls and voto solidly for th candidate, and the enemy will be ovc thrown. THE THREE GIIACES. Poor Grant I Poor Cameron I Poor ConV ling I All the hopes and labors of yeai gone for naught! About three years ago scheme was hatched In the brains of th trio, and a few lc:ser lights, which was to result In returning Grant to the Whil House for a third term, and the other tw were to hold Important cabinet offices. Gen eral Grant was started out on a tour around the world. By the aid of consuis and in in Jsters at various points, who"were parties to the scheme, grand ovations and reception were gotten up for tho benefit of theex-Presi dent, and be was received by many of tb crowned beads of Europe. For two years he wandered thus, and when told that was time for him to return to America to st his little boom agoing he returned to the go din shore of California and there was welcom cd home in royal style. As he travelled Eas the cry of welcome was taken up, ar.dth people regardless of parly paid homage to tho General who brought the war to a close and the returned ex President, not knowing that in so doing they were but canying out the programme of the third term managei in starting a Grant boom. In all the great cities his reception was hearty, and when he reached Philadelphia, the point from which he started two years before, the demonstra tions were ot a character never before equal led on a similar occasion. Then was Grant's opportunity. He could have endeared him self to the whole people by the utterance of a single sentence. "I am not a candidate for President. Tho unwritten law of the land recognizes nd third term," Did he say that? No, he kept silent attbe command of his managers, and though he never said he was a candidate ho turned his young and foolish son loose, and be proclaimed it Irom 'the house tops. Ulysses S. Grant sought the nomination for the third term. lie stale ed his whole upon that issue aud lost. lie might have been remembered by the Ameri' can people as the great soldier who led their armies to victory (because no other General was permitted to do it) but now he will go down to future ages as tho man who sought a crown, at the expense of the nation's life. Like Cieser, he was ambitious, and Blaine and Sherman and several other Brututcs ilew him. The Democrats of South Carolina have been consistent and trua to theirjecord. In their last state convention they nominated for all the principle State offices the men who figured promptly in the butcheries ot uegros in the campaign of 1870, or who sub sequently played prominent parts in the at tempt to steal the Electoral votes of tbat stato for Samuel J. Tilden. They are tho men who ought to reap the fruits of Demo cratic supremacy in South Carolina, liamji ton and Butler already have their reward in the shape of teats in the United States Sen ate, and the other leaders of the red bliirtej ruffians will now come in for tbeir share of the plunder. South Carolina ie a Republi can state, but as only a very small portion of the Republicans are allowed to vote, the Democrats will of course continue in power. As a piece ol refreshing campaign litera ture wb reprint iuo nuuvo num iuc n u&cs barre Record, just to show to what straits the opposition crgans are 'educed. It is the old storv. bloodv shirt, bulldozing, intimidation, &c, &c, &c. Democrats and intelligent men of all parties will smile at tbo absur dity of the repetition of the long ago explo ded charge of "neero butchering" and "tht attempt to steal the electoral vote ot South Calolina for Tilden." There is not an hon est republican in the land who does not acknowledge the great fraud of 1870,though we may laugh t it as a good joke, ''Hamp ton and Butler have their reward in the .United States Senate," because elected by -.. . ..

Our contemporary forget to mention tbem. "South Carolina is a repub lican state, but only a few republicans are allowed to vote." When Wade Hampton was made Governor it was admitted on all tides that he was fairly elected.

The flirlit was between Grant, Illaine, Sherman and K Imunds, and the sup porters of each candidate were determined to secure the nomination for their favorite, atanvcort. Senator Hoar called the con vention to order on Thursday at 11:45 a. m. He requested all others than members of the convention lo withdraw from that part of the hall assigned to delegates and directed the sergeant-Bt-arms to enforce the rt quest, The aisles were cleared nfter some delay ev.

Mr. Hale, in his speech, held thnt ttie convention must remain in a state ofsuponded animation until the commit tees are ready t" report. Conkling followed Mr. Hale, claiming that It would facilitate the business of the convention to take n recess, and said it was not in order to proceed until the committee on credentials had reported. His motion to take a recess was lost. Shortly afterward, Mr. Frye made a mo tion for recess until 5 o'clock. Mr. Conk ling with mock gravity congratulated tbo gentlemen upou their safe delivery, (laugh ter.) It was a matter to stir the heart of every patriot to find this conventiou.ln its organized state rising in its might on being able to accomplish this portentious business that had been accomplished since his, Conk, ing s, motion had been made (laughter and applause.) Frye stld tho delegation Irom Maine desires humbly to return thanks to the distinguished gentleman from New York for his ttnilly congratulations and to say that it will be delighted at the close o this convention once more to see that gentle. man arise and congratulate the delegation frjm Maine. (Loud applause in all parts o the hall, men rising and cheering and wildly waving their hats and ladies their handker chiefs.) From Thursday until Saturday night the convention was scarcely more tban a howl ing mob. Tho tactics of both sides was for delay in order that something might turn up. In this, the Blaine men made a mis take, as by forcing a voto on Thursday or Friday instead of waiting, they might bave gained a victory. It appeared then that Grant could not eucced, but from that time Grant lost nothing, while Blaine gained nothing. On Saturday all the names were presented to the convention, and an adjourn neut was had until ten o'clock on Monday morning without taking a ballot. Sunday passed, but wo are not Informed where the leaders attended church.

James Abraham Garfield was born Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, Novem oer iu, loji. iiis iainer ADrauam Uar- field was ot New England origin, but came to Ohio immediately from New York. Af ter considerable of a etrugglo with the ru dimentary branches, young Garfield enter ed Williams .college, Massachusetts at the age of 23 and two years later in 1850, he graduated carrying off one of the honors In early life he connected himself with th Disciples or as it is commonly called the Campbellite church, a religious dennraina tioo quite numerous in that neighborhood and though not ordained, was recognized as a minister ot that faith, preaching to several congregations In the neighbor. hood of his borne. In his struggle to get an education, it is generally believed that the members of the denomination who could afTord to do so volunteered assis tan co to him, with a view to thereby bet ter qualify him to discharge his ministerial duties and advocate the doctrlnesof the de- nomination. During the period of Garfield's absence at college a email academic establishment was built up at Hiram, Ohio, called Hiram Institute, under the auspices and manage meot of the Disciples church. Upon re. ceiving his diploma he returned to Ohio and at once assumed the Professorship Latin and Greek in this struggling institu tlon. Two years later ho was made Presi dent of the establishment, and in both capacities he labored assiduously and in telligently to advance the interests and pro mote the growth of the institute. As sympathy with his surroundings brought him witbin the pale of the Disciples church be also joined the popular clamor of the Western Reserve against slavery. His first prominent Identity with politics was in 1859 when he was.cboscn to the Ohio State ben ate from the district comprising Portage and Summit counties. At the breaking out o: the rebellion he entered the army as a Col onel of the Forty-second regiment Ohio vol unteers, and was speedily promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. In the fall of 1662 he was nominated by the republicans of the Nineteenth Congresssonal district and bis election followed without much opposition. He entered '-'ongress in December, 18C3, and has served during each succeeding Congrens as a renresrntative of the same district. In the exposures of the Credit Mobiliertho ex nm!nation created such a revolution of seutl meot against Mr. Garfield tbat ne secured the re-nominaiion oniy aiicr a ciiwo cuttiest, and at tho election his voto fell several thousand behind the strength of his party. In 1870 and 1878, though he succeeded in tbrowinc tho mantle of obscurity over this and other charges which have from time, to time been made against his Integrity, ho has each lime fallen considerably below bis par ty strength, Last winter his contests were nettled in tho district by bis election to the United States senate to succeed rion. a. u.

Hilton. Oen. Hancock. I wish to mention some reasons why Gen Hancock eeems to be the most available candidate of his party: 1st, He is generally known and esteemed throiiirhout the whole country. The differ ent states sometimes have a very good ma: thuy want to honor and immediately re commend him for President. If every State should set up their bet man for President perhaps we would not get any at all. 2nd. He is known to be a Union man and all would put confiJetfce in him. Hi would probably unite the different sections, better than any other caudiJate; indeed h seems to have no enemies anywhere. 3rd. He has never sought the office. There are men in both parties who spend a pood bit of money for their own election. The people ought not to countenance this. "Let the people choose the men, and not the men the office." Perhaps Mr. Tilden is spoken of as a candidate, more than any other man He is not as popular as he was four years ago. It is doubtful if the South would give him their vote at all. They have no confi dence in his success. They prefer a Union General, and believe Hancock to be an hon est. eood man, such as they want, This speaks well for the South, and con tradlcts some of the reports of leading radi cals. I think the Republican party would like to have Tillen nominated, thinking would be easy to beat him. It is a wonder he does not withdraw his name from th list. One woull think that with his wealth, and being in poor health, he would prefer life of ease, trying to improve his health instead of doiug the very thing likely tJ in jure or destroy it. Probably he is led on by his friends, or those he considers as such Rjraeraber. Gen. Hancock is not a man to extend the term of office. If this party hope, or expect to succeed, they must all unite in the tame candidate; they must ba willing to give up a favorite, for the present, and give their influence to the most available one. It is to be hoped that this whole party will strive fjr the eame one; and that he will re ceive an overwhelming majority, so that none can doubt that he is elected. "Mississim." Staltf Virginia.

Both were candidates for admission to West Point, and attending the preparatory school. Buck hail been made the victimofa mild form of hazing, and becoming enraged atsome remarks fired at Thompson. Ruck surrendered himself- Thompson's condition is critical. Buck declare that he has been unmerci fully hazed by the students of the prepara atory school. His father is president of Dal las College, in Texa. Tho prisoner's ago twenty, wears a good badge won for oratory in competition with students of severa Texas colleges. Thompson is about th same age. Just before the shooting Thompson had taken Ruck to task for an alleged statement that Buck had 1 cleared out" the whol school, Buck denied the statement. After some wraugling, Buck backed away six ftot and remarking with oaths that he would stand no more of thifired. The ball passed through Thoinpsou's body. Buck ran, pursued by the students, an1 gave himself up. He told the justice that the students had used him worse than a nig ger. Buck does not seem to realize Iiis situa tion.

The train arrived on time, and alter a few moments' slay was backed on the Great Wec torn Ferry. The party came on deck evl lently without regard to rank, but going down, as the ferry ran into the slip on this side, the gentlemen nnd ladles were preced ed by tho Princess, who bowed soveral times as she went down the stairway, whllo the gentlamen stooj witli uncovered head.

Movements of the Cubans, CAKADIAX CITIES THE SCENE 01' SECBET 1103ULE l'BEl'AUATIOMS AQAISST BI'AI.V. A special dispatch from Quebec says: The greatest excitement was created hero when it became known that a discovery had been made of Cuban filibusters, nnd that a vessel bad been seized ou her way down the river from Montreal to Havana with a large quantity of arms and ammunition for the Cuban insurgents, supposed to be hidden away beneath her cargo. Count de Premio Real, consul general In Canada for Spain, and Judge Chanveau, with Collector of Cus toms Dunscomb, were noticed all the after noon upon the wharves, and about eight o'clock were seen to hall a tug and put off in'great haste for two ships which were towed towards the sea from Montreal by the tug Hercules namely the Atalya and the Moselle. The depai ting vessels were over taken with difficulty just before reaching tli9 Isle of Orleans, when It was found that both bad deck loads one of grain, the oth er of timber. Darkoixs so soou came on that much search was impossible ; howev er the Atalya was detained and two guar dians p'aced on board. Ibo grain cargo will be tborougly overhauled, when doubt less the expected discovery of arms will be made. Canada has no desire for more Ala bama claims, and the official aid rendered tbo Spanish consul general In this case is in sccord with a proclamation issued In August, 1872, with special reference lo Cuba, under the regime of Lord Dufferin. Count de Premio Real has acted with much ingenuity and diplomacy In this im portant business. Already aware that an insurgent leader named Castro and some of his friends bad come on to Montreal he learned through the Dominion detective agency that the Atalaya had receiyed ou board at tbat city 500,000 cartridgos and a quautity of fire arms, for Cuba, and was to proceed to sea at once. Meanwhile, on Sunday one of the Insurgents, thinking to divert from the Atalaya the attention of the consul-General until she was safe at Bea, came here and called on the Count, pre senting telegrams purporting to be from a well kuown Spanish loyalist in Cuba, and representing himself as a secret emissary intrusted with the surveilance of Castro and his party, The consul General Ingeniously discovered the fraud, and bis vigilance win doubtless be wwardtd by the discovery tie contraband eitklcsof war.

We Tin rn f li nmfnrn l n n mm rnf n1 A GREAT CLOSING SALE In every Department, and propose lo distribute such bargains among the people, far anil wide, us will do our niosi enecuvu mivuiiisuiiictm for the new store wo propose to open iu the early aij.tumn. TAKK PARTICULAR XOTIlft : We do not claim to have reduced everything, for there are certain goods in such limited supply that we can scarcely meet the demand, Such Goods Will Not Be Reduced. But outside of the.-ea radical mark-down has taken place, and many goods that are helling well are marked away down to insure their immediate clearance. The opportunity to secure bargains is it very unusual one, and buyers of Dry Goods the country over should promptly put in an appearance at our house All who need Dry Goods or who can be mduccd by the certainty of saving, to anticipate their wants should visit us in person, li'rom present indications the gopds will be sold too rapidly to insure in all cases perfect satisfaction in tho filling of orders through tho Mail Or der Department during the continuance of this great closing sale. Discarding all sensational or exaggerated statements we throw upon the market this immense stock of Dry Goods, determined to sell the amount named at whatever sacrifice may be necessary to accomplish object. Our organization and our facilities for distributinsr larcro quantities of goods are believed to be unequaled, but every effort will be made to strengthen it mid increase its efficiency during this closing sale, so that all who visit us may be waited on promptly and to their entire satisfaction.
