The Democrat* of New Jeraoy regard the
nomination of Greeley et Baltimore aa a
foregone oooclunion. The Georgia delegation
to Baltimore will enpport Cincinnati.
In Illtotoia, there baa been a grand onion of
tha Democrat' and Libaral Republicans, and
joint coaamitteea were appointed by oeoh body
for tho nomination oi n combined tiaket for
Plate offlcors. Iu tho prooeedingi of tha joint
committed, it ia reported:
The joint committee agreed npon Keomer
for Qorernor, Charles Black for Lieutenant-Governor,
and a full State Ticket, composed
ai follows: Liberals?Governor, Secretary

?Lieatensnt-Qovenur, Auditor, Treasurer,
and Claris of Supreme Court. The Liberal
Convention then marched in the Democratic
Convention amidst the vrildst enthusiasm,
where Palmer presided. The Liber
1 Convention heartily endorsed the nomine'
tioua ot the joint committee, and joined
hands with the Democrata in its support.
Gov. Allan la President of the
Democratio Convention. Gov. Allan said
ha deaired to meet the advances of the
Chairman of tha Liberal Republican Convention
in the spiiit in which they were
made, and, like Paul, forgetting the things
that are behind, strike hands with him in
the common cause. As the Chairmen of
the two Conventions advanced and olasped
hands, another scene of wild excitement
ensued, the delegates cheering frantically
for several minutes. The selection ot the
electoral ticket was referred to the central
committees of the Conventions.
The nomination at Cincinnati is now alnao-t
a fix-?d fact, and it will then receive
the undivided support of the South, and all
those opposed to nepotism, corruption, and
military interference in the State*
Shoe Manufactory.
We learn that Mess. Govts, Mills A Co.,
are now prepaiing to establish in this City,
a Shoe Manufactory, and will oommenca in
the building, up-stairs, of Measrs. Mills,

This is a move in the right direction, the
disking up at home of the products of oor
tanneries; and as these gentlemen bAre a
large tannery now in successful operation,
are on a firm basis. As th'.a is an important
enterprise for Greenville, we will
watch and report its progress.
Sales for July.
Capt. J L. So'jtuern, Sheriff, disposed of
property as follows, on Monday last. The
attendance was very small indeed, there
being but few persons in town :
Tract of Land, Estate of Isaac Bierfield,
deceased, containing 490 acres, purchased
by Green Ingram, for tl.700.
Tract of Land of B. Tighe Kangley, con
tainiog 214 acres, purcha?ed by Mrs. Baylis
Farr, for $1,800.
-4 r ? J _ i r vr ?r ?? J a
aiwjv ui unuu ui ?j i*. luyior, ueceutiea,
containing 22$ acres, purchased by Capt.
W. E. Earle, for $50.
Interest of J. N. Taylor, deceased, (o Estate
of Peter Taylor, deceased, purchased
by Capt. W. E. Earle, for $410.
,A lot of Brandy was also sold, which
brought from $2.25 to $8 00 per gallon.
Church Improvements.
Arrangements are now being made for
the erection of a substantial and permanent
rock wall of suitable height, surmounted
by an iioo fence, around the east and
south tides of the Presbyterian Church, in
this plaee. Already five or six hundred
dollars have been secured by subscription
for tbs purpose, and the work will soon
commence. It is also in contemplation to
have the Church-yard properly set in grass,
making it more inviting and ornamental in
appearance. These improvements, if perfected,
will be of much advantaogs to the
Church, as well as a source of satisfaction
to both the regular and occasional worshippers
there.
Another Bait.
Our readers will remember that we reported
several weeks since the removal of a ball from
the person of a gentleman, severafyears after
its lodgment there. We bavo another case,
similar to it, to record. Mr. Manning Wilson,
who resides near Reidville, Spartanburg
County, a few weeks since, had a ball taken
from his right side, under the lower ribs. He
received it there in the spring of 1864, in Virginia,
where it has remained ever since. Tt
had given a great deal of trouble to Mr. Wilson,
not only discharging matter during the
eight years there, but impaired hia health so
much as to prevent him from engaging in anyt
ooeupation to any considerable extent. I
wm extracted by Drs. II. V. Wrstvorei.a rd,
W. A. Harrison and W. H. Gaston. The
operation * as so serious and painfal, as to require
the administering of chloroform. Mr.
tfiLJOa's health is already improving, and
will, no doubt, be fully restored before s great
while.

Attempted ? scape.
One day last week, several ef the prisoners,
now confined in the Greenville jail, attempted
to escape, by making an aperture in the floor.
The jailor, Mr. T. K. Harrison, having dis

Wo Rain.
Everything in this immediate vicinity
aeems to be dry log op, the thermometer on
Monday aad Tuesday raaehing as high as
92". Io O'Neal! Township, wliieh is above
the City, wc laarn tliere was a good rain
last Saturday; and on Snnday, parsons
from below, state, there have been slight
showers in Duaklin Township. Th# water
that has fallen generally throughout the
Couuty, for the past month or six wceks>
has been inconsiderable, and nnlem our
crops receive showers very soon, they will
suffer materially. It gives us satisfaction,
h ?wever, to observe by our Anderson, Laus

that refreshing rains have vMted
those localities.

Change of Party.
We extract the following remarks, mode at
a Republican meeting held at Abbeville, last
week, by J. Scott Murray and Absalom
BLrrns, Esqs. It will be seen that these
gentleman's tone is Republican:
M J. Scott Murray, Esq., of Anderson, was
next introduced and made a few remarks, following
the line of argument taken by Messrs.
Orr and Ilodge. He said that it was the duty
of every man to vote for Grant at the next
election; that it was opposed to the prosperity
of the country for any one to vote for Greeley;
that Grant was the man for the times and en*
titled to our suffrages, ne spoke of Grant's
being accused of tyranny; said that the ac
cusation could not be sustained by a single
argument; that be bad made our lives and
property safe; that be bad been elected to
the Presidency when our country was disturbed
and upheaved by war, and that out of this
conftision be had brought order and harmony.
Ho said that we wanted stability in government,
and that change was detrimental to our
best interests. He said that Greeley's opinions,
and the acts of bis life, were obscure ; ,
that if he had been President, every cohered ,
man would now be in elooery{T) He ended by ,
saying that Groat's election will secure stability
to the good order that now prevails, ,
and that Greeley's election would bring die- ,
order and confusion." ^
"A. Blythe, Esq., of Greenville, next spoke.
His remarks were very brief. He said that |
be placed himself firmly and squarely on tho t
platform of the Philadelphia Convention, and (
trusted in its success. He regarded the election
of Grant and Wilson as best for the 1
country, aud that the lost struggle was to be *
made between the dead isEues of the past and t
the live issues of the present." g

tbey are in ample funds to make advances, so
parties consigning may hold as long as they
desire; are prompt, reliable and in every way

more.

Tar the Greenville Enterprise.
Mr. Editor-?As the limes in whieb ws are
bow living ere no ordinary times, so, also,
are the questions now pressing with importunate
persistence for solution, no ordinary
questions. Questions involving the moral,
polities), social and material Welfare of the
Southern States, osa he satisfactorily answered
only when tber have been deliberately
weighed sad dispassionately discussed.
This is so self-evident a proposition, that it
may bo regarded as an aeknowlodged axiom ;
and it carries with it this oorollary : therefore
it is of supreme importance that, when men
oome forward prominently at loaders of opinion
and propounders of theories, their olahns
to sueh prominenoe should ho closely soru Ionised?their
voluntary leadership justifies, end
the urgency of the occasion demands it. The
Southern Stales, in their present emergency,
oannot afford to be blindly led by blind leaders,
neither can they afford to follow in the
wake of guides of unimpaired intellectual
vision, nntil satisfied that " the single eye,"
which ensures rectitude of morel purpose, is
not less unimpaired. With Governor Orr, as
a Judge, the remarks to follow, have nothing
to do:
With Governor Orr, as a political lesder,
they have; and their object is to animadvert
in a spirit of fair criticism on his address before
the Philadelphia Convention on the Mb
nit. There are but two points in this address
to be notieed: "Our colored friends"
will support Grant and "Grant, an eminently
virtuous man." Governor Orr " presumes,"
that "with the assistance of our
oolored friends, the State of Sonth Carolina
will give a cordial, unanimous and overwhelming
vote for the nominees of this Convention:"
ind this is doubtless?fortunately for Goversrnor
Orr?unhappily for the State of South
Carolina?a well founded presumption.
But, observe what are distinctly giveo as
the main grounds of this confldent antieipa.ion?
"With the assistance of our colored
riends." It is a very serious mistake, to put
o the same category, the oolored people of
he Southern States and their present loaders ;
hese united are, indeed, but one party osten*
ibly, but all responsibility must be borne by
ho leaders alone, and what that responsibility
s may be understood when the tortured and
bankrupt condition of these 8tatea Is so clearly |
Ihe result of this leadership. Governor Orr I
is a man ef too mnoh intelligence to ignore
this faot, that, mainly, the power for good or
evil, now welded by the Republican part, is
based upon the blind adhesion to it of a race
credulous from ignorance, and carefully
trained to surpect and distrust every one who
cannot show, in capital letters the Republican
trade mark.
It is time this "colored friend" clap-trap
should cease, or bo beard only from the lips
of petty plaoe and pelf hunters, whose game
can be secured only by such oleaginous flattery
of tbe voting majority.
The time will come when the colored people
will oease to be cgjoled by their " white
friends," and then " our colored friends " will
no longer be a pet phrase or a pet Institution
for tbe exclusive use aud benefit of ambitions
politioisms.
But it is as the muoh distressed friend of
Genera1 Grant "arraigned, Mai if nod and traduoed,"
that Governor Orr, in kU addreaa,
com? oat Moat forcibly. Wa have all raad

For the Greenville Enterprise
Dur EnUrpri**: la this section, (Powers'
8hop, four miles Hon the Leo rem end Green*
Ills County line,) " the heavens are as brass
and the earth'as iron." One or onr oldest
eltlsens, Mr. Robert QUlUand, says that he
does not remember any drought so protracted,
commencing so early, excepting, perhaps, tbe
one of 1845. I cannot now call to mind the
precise time we bad onr lest good season?at
any rate, not sines the 15th of April. However,
we did get n small shower abont fonr
weeks ago, barely sufficient to dissolve the
crust formed on tbe top of tbe plowed land.
This statement appliee in a greater or lees
sense to all that seope of country oomprieed
between Simpsonville, within twelve miles of
Greenville, and Thomas' Cross Roads, seven
miles from Laorensvillo, and being in extent
longitudinally sixteen miles aad of Irregular
width?from five to tea mils*. High wiads
have prevailed, and numerous clouds of flattering
appearanoe have floated in tha atmosphere?but
no rain.
THK CROPS UP COM,
especially uplands, will doubtless bo a failure.
Ik is impossible that rains, subsequently to
this .tine, can cause a yield of half crop,
though the quantity of forage would be increased.
The sulk is old and will tassel at
an early day, indeed it is, in some instances,
already doing so I aw informed.
COTTON
may do tolerably well even after this, provided
plenty rain comes soon aad continues at
suitable intervals. Quite a number of farmers
failed to get early stands of this rrop, and the
plant is exceedingly small for this time of
the summer, but men who are practical ootton
growers, and understand the nature and hob
its of the weed, say that it is of such rapid
growth that If rains fall abundantly hereafter,
commencing shortly, they do not despair of
making an average crop. Not a few bare executed
liens upon their crops of ootton to secure
the payment of advanees of fertilisers,
and a failure ol the cotton srop would work
results mors dirsstroue is their consequence*
than would be the esse under ordinary circumstances.
TXK wheat
is now harvested j and in thris section- not a
full half crop is mads. The grain is mature,
full and heavy, bwt the drought did not allow
the straw to attain sufficient height to- admit
of economical harvesting. A great deal wna
lost in the mowing. I noticed a few farmers
adopted the precaution to line their seything
oradles, but I could not sec that there was
much, if any, saving, for, although the short
straws were caught up by the mower, the
whole advantage was lost in the process of
binding. This, however, is not a loss in a
strict sense, as your farmer readers will readily
understand. It is lost to the garner, but
secure to the pigs and other stock, whioh, I
assure you, will feel very grateful for the lux* j
ury after so continuous a dearth of herbage.
SPRING OATS
are an entire failure, not one field in a doten
attaining sufficient height to admit of cutting. (
The want of that crop is very acutely felt at
this time, for tho supply of provender has ,
become so nearly exhausted as to make it a
matter of groat difficulty to feed plowing
stock.
OCR CATTLE AND ROSS
are suffering by reason of the failure in pasturage.
The grass is parohed and not growing.
The cattle, especially, suffer the greater
effects, ar they come out of the winter, which
was more than usually severe, very thin?a
term more literal than figurative.
GARDENS
are literally barned up. No vegetables to be
had. Beans, cab bags, cucumbers, squashes,
and In fact everything commonly cultivated
in gardens, are things wholly unknown to us
this season.
IRISH POTATOES
ire noN <w. 1 dc not remember to have taken
ao much pains for years to produce a crop of
this delioious esculent, and I am sure I never
did have a more oomplete failure. The same
is true, at least as far as the failure is concerned,
in all this country. As to
SWEET POTATOES,
we cannot make a erop of them. Having bad
no seasons, slips have not, in many cases,
been transplanted, and in those few instances
where the more enterprising planted and artificially
watered, the dry weather has been
protracted so unexpectedly that the greater
number of the plants have died. 80 our prospeet
for potato roastlngs and persimmon beer of
long winter nights is blasted. We will still
live in hope of a full erop of
mcKonr nets
and walnuts, and the dear old " goober,"
throughout this whole eountry.
THE P0ULTET
has died of dissass. Numbers of families,
famed for their abandonee of poultry, tell me
that of handreds of ehiekens only a few, aad
la many instaaoee none at all, are left. We
do not pretend te know what the disease Is.

field, with tho exception of tho king (boo) ol
martin. Often horo I seen two or threo of thorn
giving ohuo to the blue joy, never quitting P>
htm nntil ho woo fairly out of the field. Tho P>
blue jay (Joy bird) ie a bummer of tho first
water. Ho will onaeonso himself In the near- R
oat wood, making raids on tho nearest fruit, fo
and whoa ohased to his lair by the moeking
birds, will ory " Ku Klux!" Tbe jay, like M
the cat bird, is also a great coward, never at* ^
tacking any other bird unless a flock of them
are together, and then, bummer-like, they
will raise a great hue and ory and appear very n<
brave, but when at the least disadvantage, 0
never fail to cry ' Ku Klux." The ocoaslon
of the fight between the cat and mookingbird, to
was this: Catty finding no one present, bad
sneaked in to get his dinner oat of a oherry
tree, and being oaught by the mocking bird, ,
showed fight. You know the result. Tho
thrush (thrasher) is a good speoimen of
the native scalawag, but has his good traits.
Don't kill bim. He is a necessary ovil. He
flies low and sneaks around and pulls up oorn ; ^1
let him alone, bo is useful. Let me relate to
I you on? of bis good trails : Hoeing in my a
' garden some days sine?, the grasshoppers were fo
flying up beforo me, when a thrasher (ferruginous
thrush) darted down and caught up a ib
large siaad grasshopper. This is th? first in* th
stance I have witnessed of a small bird catch*
ing a largo grasshopper. Let him live. # |

Mr. Editor: As the time approaches te m
make selections of gontlemon to fill our various
Stat? and County oflees, the people naturally
east aboat to find inemsuitaMe and qual- ?d
ified for those positions. Wa would not b?
understood as disparagtng the claims of any
of the gentlemen spoken of for the position of
County Commissioner, but would suggest the ||
name of Thomas B. Reid as a gentleman well (
qualified in every partionlar for the ofBoe. He
lives in a section of the County whi?k, in our
opinion, is entitled to a representation in the fr*
Board, and this reason, in addition to his em. jai
inent fitness for the offloe, will, we trust, give $1
him a place upon tbo tioket. Mr. Raid, we
know, does no t desire or seek the ofBoe, and do
that is only another argument for his election. f

Republican State Executive Commit- esr
tec was in session here Saturday, A. J. Rantier,
Chairman. The convention to?nominate m
State officers and Presidential electors was ?"r
Bxed upon to meet on the 21st of August.? lot
We presumo the object of selecting sncb a dls- ]
tant day is to draw out the opposition prema- j?
tarely, or, la osm of a failure in that, to allow
as little time as poeaible for the organise' nf
tion of the bolt whioh Is certain to be made >oj
by those opposed to the present management
of State affairs, in case the convention is manipulatcd
by the corrnptionists.?PAosnt'x, 2d an
Tub Filth Avenue meeting has reanlted 1,1'
in nominating W. F. Groeebcck. of Ohio,
for President, and F. A. Olmstead for Vice ?'
President. It seems to have been a very co'
insignificant affair, and the nominations
made will have but little effect on the
chances of Mr. Greeley. Mr. Olmstead
has declined the nomination, and it ia eon
fidently expected that Mr. Groesheok will
follow hia example. The proapect ia that y.
there will be but two candidates in the f.(
field, and they will be Grant and Greeley, in
the little o and the big G. In that event,
Greeley will most certainly ba elected. ar
