—Gen. Grant is reported by anlnter-

opinions of public men: Of Thurman there
is no hope; ho is dead and deserved political
death. Of Tildem *OM I guess he will be

ways liked Bsvard, not beotnse I think him
a man of extraordinary ability, but because I
think him a true man.’ Of G-rfield: ‘Be is
an able statesman.’ Of Hancock: ‘He
would be a stronger man than Tilden, but
(laughing) poor Hancock would be assailed
by the Catholics for hanging the sainted Mrs.
Barrett, when be wsa really no more reepon-

Capturing Grant.
Certain Southern Democratic paperp,
having editorially started tho idea of
capturing Gen. Grant sb a Southern Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency,
some leading newspapers of the North
appear to think that this strange whim
is sufficiently current to call for clsbor
ate notice. The New York Herald, cl
Thursday, devotea its leading editorial o!
over a column in length toa Berioua coa-
eiderationo! a proposition which has no
praetioil importance whatever, but la
probably the mere suggestion of impa
tience of bring in a minority.
Tne Southern people have no sympa
thy with General Grant's polities. There
are no imperialists among them. They
wish, on the contrary, to maintain the
S:ate and Federal governments in the
foil possession of (heir relative functions,
and with Erecuttvea daly eleoted bylaw,
cnier the Constitution thereof It is quite
possible that they may not bo able to do
this, bat certainly thsy will not preoipi-
tate Imperialism by joining in the clamor
for a third term and a strong military
government, the apology for which is
found by the stalwarts alone in the al
leged lawlessness of the SimthernStates.
Shutting the stable Door Too
Iaate.
Advices received in Washington, says
tho well advised correspondent of the
Baltimore Sum, especially from Southern
public men, leave no donbt that a broadly
national and conservative conns will be
the Democratic policy the coming win
ter. Zaalots will be made to take back
seats. Passionate declaration, tropical
rhetoric and sectional recrimination will
be severely set down upon. Snch safe
and conservative leaders as Bayard,
Whyte, Kernan, Randolph, Gordon, La
mar and Banaom will] demonstrate that
the Democracy of all Beotions ace noxious
for a cordial alignment with the national
feeling, the character, capital and res
pectability of the country. The Bepnb-
licans will be furnished with no more
campaign thunder in the shape of foolish
utterances of excited oratory addressed
to backwoods audiences at home rather
than to the intelligence of Congress and
the country.
While it is at least very doub'.fal
whether anything ehort of au absolute
sacrifice of all independent thought and
action by Sonthern men conld satisfy the
North, yet still, as it always takes “ two
to make a quarrel,” wo believe Sonthern
members might, witb great advantage,
decline personal altercations, and main-
ain a dignified composure nndsr assault:
which, after a time, would molify see
tional inflammation in some degree and
make tho sessions of Congress quieter.
This may bs a hard practice,but it ie a £00'
one. The war will die out with the gene
ration who fought it.

Msy, 1851, in the thirteenth year of ner age,
she was received to the lull communion of
the Presbyterian church, of whioh hdr par
ents are members and her father is now a
ruung older. Married In October, 1B69, she
removed to her husband's residence in Ma
con, transferring her qonnexon to the
ciuroh of thst city in April, 1870, and re

fulness, uncoESCionaness of self, simplicity
of heart, and cordial frankness of spirit and
manner—qualities whioh, while they render
ed her utexpreseioly dear to her family and
intimate friends, strongly attracted even cas
ual acquaintances, and won that affectionate
regard which expressed Itself in the general
sorrow at her death Her lot In life was that
which, wnile in itself a good, and to be re
ceived with thanksgiving, yet affords very
strong tsmptation to human perversity and
pride. Tne lines f*ll to her in pleasant pla

she came in can tact, winning general adm^
ration by her attraotivene:a or persqn and
manners, she spoke only tno truth, when, in
view of approaching d-stb, she said, “I have
everything to live lor."
Bat the crowning beauty of her life was
holiness, the power of sanotifyiog grace,
seen in it all. The covenant made in child
hood with her Saviour King waa to her no
UQme&ain^ tiling the aoiciaa delibor&to
adoption of a controlling principle aud af
fection. In response to his csli, Give me
thine bear;, she gave it, and thenceforth in
creasingly manifested that she hid Vest her
affection above, where Ubriat aitteth on the

ly acquaiataoeea it was understood thee she
was a decided Christian, carrying principle

in her spirit or conduct open to the,charge
of conformity to tha world was at once xe-

Her long illness and the dosing scents ot
her departure afforded a wonderfully beiu i-
fol ana touching exhibition Of tho power
aud sweetness of the Saviour’s grace.
When the bpdily and mental powers are
greatly wasted and broken by disease, It is
so easy to consent to die, that many, even ox
the nnspiritual, are able to do it, and mis
take this passive assent to the inevitable for
holy acquiescence In the divine will. Often,
too, the circumstances of death are such
that genuine Obristians have little opportu
nity to manifest what they possess or the
tjav.out’a grace. Not so with her. When,
nearly two years aiuoe, a severe oold laid the
foundation in her frame of that fatal dis
ease consumption, lo. g before those -who
loved her most would permit, themselves to
think upon the possibility, eh-Bmapncny re-

more occupied with a loving! thankful, bslf-
wonderiDg recognition of the manifold daily
tender merries of the Lord than with any
thought of the sharp tests, to which He was
anbj acting her faith and love. The pres-

lnffietments tor the Grand J ary.
Yesterday, in the Superior Court, the
case ol W. T. Maynard vs. Fland jra and
Hugntnln was tried. This iB a oase aris
ing from a cotton transaction.
It appeared thst Mr. Maynard, of For-
syth, sold ootton to Messrs. Beta & Co.,
o' that place, in 1875, with the under-
e.audiag the trade wasta bo a cash one.
Tae members of Baau & Oj. alsj com
posed the firm of Ltmpkiu & Co.,
bankers. A credit for tho cmouut for
the ootton was placed on the hank
book of Me. Maynard. Ciroamatanoes
prevented his attention to the matter
for some time daring which Bean & Co,
and Latnpkln A Co. failed. The cotton
was shipped by a third party rad was
traced to the warehouse of Messrs.
Flanders-A Haguenin in Maoon, who
reoeived it in due. ootirae of .business.
The point on which the case turned
waa whether tha entry in tho bank
booka of Mr. Maynard was equivalent
to making a oaah payment. The jury
woe given the case at eeven o’clock
and no verdiot had been found ab’a-late
hour. Mr. Maynard was represented
by Butberford and Rutherford and
Mr. W. D. Stone. Judge Anderson
was employed in the case afte
the testimony had been reoeived, vice

other side was represented-by Judge Lyon

Nbw Yobk, November 8.—The Herald
says it ia still doubtful which party has
carried the State. It looks at present as
if Potter and Seymour were elected by
small majorities, but the vote ou the
State ticket from Lieutenant Governor
down ia eo close that it will probably
take the official returns to determine it.
The Herald oomfludeB that New York is
still doubtful.
The Sun says the votes for Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of Btate, Comptrol
ler, Treasurer and Attorney General Is
very oIobo. Both parties oonoede thst
the returns are made with provoking
alowBess, and from only a few counties
be out down to 35,000. There is little
doubt, however, but that it will he be
tween tbeso numbers.
Ths Sun’s returns give a majority of
2,162 for Potter. These figures may be
diminished by the official returns, bnt
the Democrats claim Potter’s election
with seeming good reason.
The election of Horatio Seymour, Jr.,
Democrat, as State E jgineer and Survey-,
or, eeams lobe conceded by both parties.
Tne test. that can be said of the oth
er candidates is that the vote is in doubt,
with the chances in favor of VT ads worth’s
eleotion as Comptroller on the Hepublioin
ticket, and Ward a3 Attorney General.
General Carr’s friends nrge that he is
tanning enough ahead of his tioket to in
sure his election as Seoretary of State.

had the Salt Kheum on my head and ah through
my hair, and also on my legs for the past four
yearn, having suffered exceedingly with it. The
dsnuruff tilling fiom m> hair was very annoy
ing. I consulted several distinguished physi-
cismi in regard tiit.snd have taken their pro
scriptions as ordered bnt did not tlud soy oure
and but little relief. 1 was told by mao; persons
who have the-Salt Rheum, and who have been
doctored foryears, thatihere was no oure for it;
that it was in the blood, end 1 should si ways
have it, and I was almost inclined to agree witb
them, but a triend wanted me to try Cuticura,
made by your Srm, I did. aud to my astonish
ment, in less than three weeks my head was en
tirely free from all8alt Rheum and Dandruff,
and I oannot see any apDearance of Salt Kheum
on my person. I think it a wonderful remedy.

We wero moving at the rate of three and
a half or four knots per hour. My chief
mate reported the steamer ahead tea
minutes before tbo acouient happened,
mi/o breamer cyntiuned on her course,
and I on mine, and wo spproaohed each
other, bat immediately before the crash
the man on the look out of my vessel re
ported the eteamer’e starboard light
from our port bow, rad then she shifted
and her part light beoome visible, show
ing she had tamed on her eyarse. We
bad a man on the lookont oonata itiy, but
thera conld hav.i been no lookout on the
Champion. Her Captain, Lockwood, sub
sequently told me that he bad altered her
coarse a moment before the collision, bnt
assigned no reason for doing so, and that
he did not see my ship, witioh indicates
that my idea In regard to ’he lookout
was correct. Indeed I was informed
that the man who should have been on
the lookout, was aloft loosen.ng saii. The
ship sank in four mina'es utter the col
lision and there was a terrible panic. I
at onoe ordered boats lowered, and in
fact they were fa the water before tho
steamer went down. Two of htr crew
jumped on board of my ship at the lime
she strcck. In ail thirty persons were
lost; among them the flr-t mate and five
women. Twelve of the missing were pas-
sengers. I mesa to soy that the steamer
onoe at ns end on eod. There was no
possible means of avoiding her. It was
impossible to tell the extent of her in
juries, ahe went down so quiokly and
there was so mnoh confusion. Fear of
th* passengers and two of the orew
were seat to New York on a bark that
oarne alongside, bnt I did not get tbeir
names or the name ot the vessel they are
on. When the Oo aria reached Green
street wharf, one ol her tags left her and
subsequently it was learned from the
boatswain of the Ootavia that this tug
cintained Captain Lockwood, his passen-
gers and orew, and that all were at once
taken to the Niuth and Green streets de
pot, and left for New Yoik.
