It mast be gratifying and encouraging to lo?ers of republican liberty through? out the entire* Union, but especially to oppressed and almost despairing South? erners, to mark the growth, soli ifloation and appreciably tangible and distinct form which the anti-Grant movement is every day more clearly exhibiting. The meeting at Cincinnati, which was re? garded but a short while Binoe as exceed? ingly problematical, may now be expect? ed with certainty, and from a mere masa meeting of factious and comparatively aniufluential liberal Republicans, as the Grantites first predicted it would be, it promises now to be a powerful conven? tion of the' ablest, most distinguished and influential adherents of the domi? nant party. The schism in the Repub? lican ranks is broad and deep. There is no remedy that oan re-unite it, and what is tue most cheering feature in the whole aspect of the matter is, that tho brains and character, as represented by the leaders of the party, is on the side of the opposition to Grant. There are not four-no, not one public man of the Republican persua? sion, who oan compare in point of past reputation, intellectual power and per? sonal integrity with Trumbull, Sumner, Greeley and Schurz. These men, with a host of others equally patriotic though less prominent, have irrevocably turned their backs upon Grant, and will give direction and impulse to the action of the Cincinnati Convention. The popu? larity of Grant with the Republican masses at the North, as the hero of tho war, and with whom his misconduct and utter unfitness is fondly misbelieved, cannot at once be overthrown, even by the defection and opposition of such influential men as are ai rayed against him. Large masses of people do not very readily surrender their prejudices and prepossessions for a popular idol; and if the liberal Republicans were de? pendent solely for success upon the votes of their own party, they would inevita? bly experience a most disastrous defeat. They must look, then, to the conserva? tism of the Democratic party to insure * the election of the candidates they may put in the field against Grant. The Democratic voters of the country, up war 3s of 3,000,000 in nnmber, will aot OB the balance of power, and it is now morally certain will give their support to tho Cincinnati nominees, if the plat? form npon whioh they will base their olaims to the suffrages of the people, be not repugnant to honest Democratic ideas. Without, somo falso or foolish step, then, upo., the part of the liberal Re? publicans, of which there is at present no indication, there is every reason to indulge the hope, BO grateful to a South? erner's heart, that Grant will havo to vacate the White House on the 4th of March next. There was not a man at the North at the close of the war who could so readily have fired the enthusi? asm and esteem of our Southern people than Gen. Grant. The fact that be was the honored foo of our Lee, had be ex? hibited the least magnanimity toward the brave though vanquished followers of his great antagonist, would have plaoed him at once firmly in the affections of our people. But him whom we were half inclined to think a hero' has shown himself a mean, grasping, stupid tyrant, devoid of all ncblo impulses; a stolid, bull-headed, avaricious block-head, with? out the first redeeming quality. His solo object since his inauguration seems to have been to enrich himself and ad? vance tho fortunes of his relatives. A poor man when elooted to the Presi? dency, he is now said to be worth $700, 000 or 3800,000, gained without any honest industry within the past four years. -?-??-?? The New York IHnies says: "The rate at whioh this country has reduced both its debt and its taxation is simply incom? prehensible to foreign financiers." The rate at which debt and taxation accumu? lated in this country has been incompre? hensible to nativo financiers-and the debt, after all the boasted reduction, is still incomprehensible, and taxes are ?till incomprehensible, and tho thioving of Radical office-holders is incomprehensi? ble. We can give foreigners any amount of Radical incomprehensibles if they want them. -.-??-? The senior counsel in both the prose? cution and defence of Laura J?. Pair have recently died, j[nd the woman still lives, with a fair prospect of a long lifo before hor. The prosecuting attorney, Henry H. Byrne, was born in New York in 1820, and was accordingly fifty-two years old at the time of his death, and it is a singular fact, that ho waa cared for in his last illness by the physician who was in attendance at his birth, and who had been his professional medical nd viser through life. 1 -\ .'t r.-1 ' T tW M Th? Connecticut Election. Tbe next move on the political chess? board, which will bavfe a bearing on tbe Presidential election, is tbe State elec? tion in Connecticut. Now Hampshire waa carrig by the Republicans, abd the result fiiad effects which are not, we think, to be lamented. It is considered as determining Grant's nomination, and thus, bj destroying the hopes of the liberal Republicans of defeating bim at Philadelphia, causing them to turn with greater unanimity and earnestness to the independent Cincinnati convention, as affording the only opportunity of accom? plishing their purposes of reform. ' On the other hand, the losa of New Hamp? shire opened the eyes of the Democrat ia party to the hopelessness of making a straight-out opposition to Graut on purely Demooratio issues, and inclines them, with but little diversity of opinion, to give their support to tho liberal Re? publicans, as the best thing loft for them to do in this canvass, at least. Now comos Conuectiout, and the question arisen, how will that Stato, going Democratic or Republican, ohange the status of affairs in relation to Grant and the Presidency? Tho reform Republicans of that State seem to be wavering as to the best course for them to pursue-whether to com? mence tho war upon Grant at once, by giving tho State to the Demoorats, or whether to vote with the Grant Republi? cans, and thus save the State to tho party. It is feared, beside the distaste of many to defeat the party, that suc? cess in Conneoticut may so far encourage the Democrats as to induce them to en? ter tho canvass with their own ticket, and thus neutralize tho effort for reform within their own rankB. In our judgment, their fear on this latter Ecore is without much, if any, foundation. It is generally agreed, by tho Demooratio press of the country, that no party fight will be made, so long, at least, as the liberal Republican move? ment gives promise of reform and of success. Victory in Conneoticut, gained, too, by the assistance or neutrality of anti-Grant Republicans, will not chango the Demooratio mind on this point; and what the reform Republicans of Connec? ticut should best oonsider, is the effect which a Grant victory in that State will have upon their own ranks. Now Hamp? shire has insured Grant's renomination at Philadelphia. Conneotiaut will only increase his chances for re-election by casting a damper upou the Republican opposition. There is u great desire with men without earnest and settled convic? tions to be on the winning side, and a promising start for Grant will do more to weaken the opposition than anything else. We trust tho anti-Grant Republi? cans of the nutmeg State may conclude to follow tho wisest course, which will be to keep from thc polls at tho Stu to election and oonceutrato their powers against Grant. < ? TUE SENATE ARRAIGNED.-The New York Evening Post reviews the course of the United States Senate since the beginning of tho present .session, show j iug that it has accomplished next to no? thing of its appointed work, and con? cludes with the just and forcible criti? cism that "in addition to this record of idleness and negleot, the Seuato has, so far, refused to investigate serious charges made against several of its own members. If the reports of corruption and improper official condaot on tho part of Senators Clayton, Caldwell uud Pomeroy are true, those men ought not to hold their seats a day longer. If they aro not true, the Senate ought to assort its dignity by disproving them. Four months have been spent by the United States Senate in tbe attempt todrivo tho reformers out of the Republican party, to hide flagrant abusos and to postpone legislation until after the national can? vass. Tho people aro still waiting impa? tiently for somo measure of relief from unjust taxation, for more generous am? nesty legislation, and for means to pro? mote eoonomy.and honesty in tho civil service." SEARCHING: OUT TUE WEAK POINTS. A Herald Washington despatch of Mon? day says that, sinoo tho arrival of Boar Admiral Inglefield iii this country, six weeks ago, as naval attach?e to I ho Bri? tish Legation at Washington, he has boon inquiring minutely and thoroughly j into our naval and military condition. In Ibis he has had every facility from our Government. He has already in? spected the defences of New York and along the Now England ooast, uud was lately ordered by Minister Thornton to visit New Orleans, to inspect the de fences of that and other Southern ports. An exchange, says "a lady nt Bath, Mo., bas a bouquet of flowers which she picked from Napoleon's garden on St. Hobin i Island in 1859. Though no extra means have been taken, they are in a fine state of preservation." Now, who is tho candidate to tell tho next biggest one? A FEARFUL ADVENTURE.-Ia the after? noon pl the 3d inst., two youug .tuen of SI is city discovered, some two miles Blow town, m canoe lodged on a drift Sile in tlie river. One of thom, Euglo ?rt'Shulor, working for Mr. Dwenger, the blacksmith, proposed to secure the oanoe, aud immediately set to work to carry out his purpose. Tying two logs together with grape vines, he poshed out in tho river, which is at that point very rapid and deep. About seventy five yard? from tho shore; his frail raft encountered one of those" 'hugo logs that are frequently met with rearing their ugly heads out of tho water. The shook proved too much for tho grape vine oonoern and it weut to pieces, the youug navigator and captain of the im? promptu craft, however, saving himself by jumping on tho big log. His com? rade, whose name we havo not been able to learn, after watching the discom? fiture of his friend, went buck to town aud informed the friends of young Shuler of his dangerous situation. By that time it was nearly dark, sud n per feet hurricane from the North had set in, chilling with its bitter cold breath ail liviug things, und dashing furiously the icy waves agniust tho single stick of timber to whiob, with stiffening limbs, tho young man hung with a death grip. Help soon appeared, and Mr. Dwenger aud other friends endeavored to got Shuler off in a small scow or ? it-boat, but the furious tempest -and rough waves, after every attempt, drove them back to the shore, and Dually swamped the boat, and the men wero reluctantly compelled to leave the unfortunate man to the fearful fate of an almost certain, lingering, painful death. And there the unhappy man stood, ?ll through that fearful night, with but two yards of an old, slippery, ice-crosted log under him, exposed to tho fearful blast in the wide stretch of the broad Arkan? sas, ever and anon washed off his preca? rious foothold, bia clothes gradually be? coming hard as a coat of mail, his limbs stiff and cold, with naught but death be? fore him; and all this in sight of home, in sight of the bright lights of bis native plaoe, the emblem of comfort and safety, glittering so tantalizingly through the darkness and storm. Who can imagine the bitterness of spirit nud agony of tho wretched boy? Early on Monday morn? ing the report iu town was that Engel? bert Shuler waa seen on tho log stiff in death, upon which Mr. Neoly Birnie aud Mr. Blaokshire Bullock determined to go down and bring off tho body. Ar? rived off the place, they Baw what they believed to bo the body stretched out on the log. The scow also was found half I filled with water frozen solid. They im j mediately set to work building a bro ou the ice on the boat, and finally suoceeded in dearing it. Pushing out cautiously, they managed to make their way across, stemming a powerful current and pur? suing a zigzag course through thia but largo shoots of ioe rapidly floating down struan. When they near od tho log they found, to their glad surprise, that Shuler was not dead, but hts speech and con? sciousness were nearly gone, Reviving him with a little spirits, they as fast as possible brought him to the shore, and, tukiug him between thom, his arms around their necks, they hurried with tho utmost despatch towards town. After proceediug about half a mile, they met a party with a wagon, whiob hud also sturted to the rescue. Placing him thereon, the party soon reached town. Ou examination it was found that Shu lei's hands, nose, ears and lower extre? mities were fearfully frozen. He now lies in a precarious condition at tho resi? dence of Mr. Jos. Noble, attended by Dr. Du val. He will probably lose his feet. Great credit is duo to Messrs. Birnie aud Bullock for their timely res? cue of the young man, without which he must certainly have perished [Fort Smith (Ark ) 2ie<c Era. SouruEitx SECURITIES.-Tho New York Herald, of Friday, says: Tiie Southern State bonds were fairly activo for the North and South Caroli? nas, tho Tenncssees, tho Virginias nud the Missouris. Tho North Carolinas were exceptionally steady, aud even firm, but tho others were heavy, aud, in some iustunccs, weak.

C.-About 2 o'clock, last Friday morning, a firo broke out ut Florence, in a emull two story woodoo building, occupied at tho time by Joo Meyers, a colored employee of thc North-eastern Railroad Company, and tho building, which was ownod by Mr. Abol Gaudy, of Darlington County, was entirely consumed, together with its contents. It is said that John Russell Young, formerly of tho Iribune, writes the load? ers in the Herald sustaining Grant. He is in Washington, and most of his arti? cles aro forwarded by telegraph-after being duly canvassed over cigars aud old Bourbon at tho Whito House. Au enterprising Westerner doubles his former receipts by advertising ice aa "solidified protoxide of hydrogen." Tua SOUTH FOU SETTIIEHS.-The Nash? ville Union and American aays: The present Winter has written a tale of unparalleled horror on the pages of Western history) As yet, however, not one-half the story of suffering from ter? rible frosts, and tl atna go from the blind? ing snow storms, hos met thopublto eye. Snow has been piled house-high in many localities, and men, women and ohildren frozen while endeavoring to obtain food and fuel. In many casos parties were overtaken in tho open air and killed by tbe blighting embraces of the North wind; in others, whole families died by their own fireless hearthstones, aolc, hungry and alone. Thone are some of tho incidents which hnve marked the winter in 1872 in tho West. More eloquent arguments could not be adduced to attract settlers to the South than here presented. And if the South had any sort of a fair show against tho lies and misrepresentations of partisan bato and deviltry, and Western land rings, immigration would not long con? tinue to flow as it does iuto the region where all these horrors aro inevitable during tho wilder months. Referring to the saine, matter, the Chronicle and Senti? nel well says: Although the winter has been Bevero hero, as everywhere, the most severe in many years, there han not been a day when work could not be dono with com? fort, in doors or out. No human being has been frozen to death, nor any live stock that wus worth the poorest shelter? ing diod from exposure. All farm stock has been at large every day, and not even a calf has been iujured by cold, in civics where starvation und neglect have been added lo tho inclement season. In the South the fanner can work every doy in tho year, instead of lying idle two to four mouths on account of snow and Iroz-m ground, as he must do North and West. In the most inclement seasons ever known snow is a rarity in this latitude, and in parin of Qoorgia not seen once, in twenty years, and is gone by tho time it is seen. Thc soil never freezes more than nu inob or two in depth, and thors are no destructive freshets in our streams boyond the tem? porary floods caused by rain-no cumu? lative floods from melting snow in the spring. Tua Lo WHET O ANO -REPORTED SnooT iKO OE TUE HERALD CORRESPONDENT. Wo learn from partios who arrived on the Wilmington, Charlotta and Ruther? ford Railroad, yesterday afternoon, thal Henderson, the Herald correspondent, wont to Henry Boiry Lowrey's house, on Friday night, and that soon after en? tering, Stephen Lowroy and Andrew Strong also walked in, when one of them spoke to Henderson in a peremptory manner and ordered him to got up ami go with them. Henderson, knowing from the way that he was addressed thal something was wrong, asked the privi lege of sending a message by llourj i Berry Lowrey's wife, which was granted after which tho outlaws, with Hender son, started in tho direction of th? swamp. Luwrey's wife met the train a Moss Neck yesterduy morning, and in formed a gentleman of the above facts saying that it was Henderson's reques that they should be made known, witl tho additional information that if ho hm not returned by that time, it might b taken for granted that something wa wrong. In answer to au iuquiry, Low rey's wife stated that tho outlaws ap poured to be in nu ill humor when the, took Henderson off, and that they spok very abruptly to hito, lu reply to question if hor husband wus dead, sh answered bo was not, but uuid shu ha not seen him for live weeks. She wu also questioned as to tho fato of Hot Strong, when shu replied that "ho wu not dead, but might as well be, ns h would never recover from his wound i tho head." It was reported on the streets, vestci day eveuiug, that Henderson had bee shot by the outlaws, but wo are confide! that no intelligence has as yet been r< ceived, beyond what is above slated, t warrant the conclusion. I Wilmington Star, 2 Ith. Tho case of C. S. Bauviuet, tho cole od civil sheriff of thu parish of Orleun La., who sued J. A.

It was feared that the inclement weather would inter? fere; but about half-past 8, the hall bo? gan to fill, and by 10 o'olock there was a truly brilliant assemblage, and the mirth aud fun grew fast and furious.
