J., Jane 26.-The G< vernor, on taking the ohair, said at th: time, when our Democratic brethren i other States seem to have beoorx touched with a fervor of political revoli tioo, our action, ordinarily disoree temperate and dispassionate, will 1 I looked to with more than ordinary int rest. In proportion as other Stat have given hasty utterances of o pi un and preferences, we should give sob and thoughtful utteranees. The Ball more Convention will bo composed men who have higher motives tin merely to beat Graut. These motiv will be to beat a corrupt and despot ' Administration, a chief magistrate wi I has brought his worse militar., habits thought and action to the administt tion of oivil affairs. With Grantia beaten, we know uo worse can come, ai believe better eau be had. That \ shall obtain at Baltimore all we dee desirable, does not now seem probub! unless some unexpected reaotion occui The action of the Convention is a foi gone conclusion. Endorsed at Bal more, I deem Greeley's election assure It is well known that my judgment h been against the endorsement of t Cincinnati ticket. The Governor pi oeeded to state the purpose of the rece I Fifth A venae conference. He olaim that this conference was not a fiasco, fc a success-because it concentrated rel ble information as to the weakness strength of the Cincinnati ticket nearly every State, and thus gave a ba for the decision that no new ticket ooi be now named with political advantaj He said: I think amore suitable not nation and more acceptable oandidate the great body of the Democratic vot could have been found. I know that shall be charged with placing our li long opponent at the head of our . lama in the day of almost assured i tory. All this is trae; bat it is eque true that Greeley will only take the le erahip of the party that elects him, ai he has pronounced himself folly in fa of such old-fashioned Democratic pt oiples as hostility to centralization, position to Federal interference in St and local affairs, condemnation of suspension of the writ of habeas ctrf foll support of amnesty, rigid adbeio to oivil service reform, opposition bayonet election laws, and the h Now, if Greeley can aooommoj himself to such uncompromising Dai oratio views as these, we can accept conversion, even if it bs a trifle sad and unexpeoted. In conclusion, Governor said they bad to oontemp almost the oertain endorsement of G: ley at Baltimore, and with it, asso defeat of Grantiam; a great victor; itself, because, if Oreeley bad no loi views, no greater intelligence t Grant, he would be powerless, wi Grant's power is almost without li Greeley would be the ocoupnnt of al office, but bis power to abase it wi be jealously guarded by both friends and foes. His might be the place, but the power, with Grant defeated, will be re delegated to the people and tbeir repre? sentatives. ATLANTA, Jane 26.-The Georgia State Demoeratio Convention was as large and able a body as ever assembled in Georgia. Tho aotion was entirely harmonious. The President was Hon. Albert Lamar, of Muscogee. The reso? lutions are that the Democratic party of Georgia stands upon the principles of the Democratic party of the Union, bringing into special prominence, as ap? plicable to the present extraordinary condition of the country, the unchangea? ble dootrine that this union of States and tbe indestructibility of equality with eaoh other is an indispensable part of our political system. Resolved, That in the approaching election, tho Democratic party invites everybody to co-operate with them ia a 1 zealous determination to change the pre? sent usurping and corrupt Administra? tion, by placing in power men who aro true to tbe principles of constitutional government, and a faithful and econo? mical administration of public affairs.

Y.i on the night of tho 14th. In many places the ground was covered with a deposit of yellow sulphur. Mrs. H. B. Lowrey asks the County of Robeson, N. C., to support her pauper children.

Mr. John Coloook died in Charleston on Monday. STAUFS ABOLISHED AND RETAINED.-As it has bees a disputed question whether certain stamps were abolished by the revenue law passed at tbe close of the last session of Congress, the correspond? ent of the New lurk Journal of Com? merce has taken especial pains to ascer? tain just how far tbe abolition extends. The new law in thia respect reads as fol? lows: SECTION 36. That on and after the first day of October, 1872, all tbe taxes imposed by stamps under and by virtue of schedule B, of Seotion 170, of the Act approved June 30, 1864, and tho several Acts amendatory thereto, be, and the same are hereby, repealed, excepting only the tux of two cents on bank checks, drafts or orders: Provided, That where any mortgage has been executed and recorded, or may bo executed aud recorded beforo the first day of Octo? ber, 1872, to secure the payment of bonds or obligations that maybe mado aad issued from time to time, and such mortgage not being stamped, all Bach bonds or obligations so made and issued ou or after said first day of October, 1372, shall not be subject to any stamp duty, but only such of their bonds or obligations as may have been made and issued before the day lust aforesaid: And provided, further. That in the meantime the holder of any instrument of writiog, of whatever kimi and description, which has been made or issued without being duly stamped, or with a defunct stamp, may make application to any collector of internal revenue, and that upon such ap? plication such collector shall thereupon affix tho stamp provided by such holder upon such instrument of writing as re? quired by law to be put upon the same, and subject to the provisions of Section 153 of the internal revenue laws. According to the interual reveuuo cir? cular, soou to be issued, this means abo? lition in respect of the following instru? ments that DOW require stamps, and the reader interested muy accept this careful epitome as final: Contracts for insurance against acci? dental injuries. Affidavits. Ail agreements or contracts, or renew als of the Burne. Appraisements, of value or damage, or for any other purpose. Assignments, ol a lease, mortgage, policy of insurance, or anything else. Bills of exchange, foreign, inland, let? ters of credit, or anything of that kind now taxed by stamps. Bills of lading and receipts, in the United States or for anywhere else. Bills of sale of any kind. Bonds of indemnification of any kind. Bond of administrator or guardian, or auythiug that bas tho Dame of boud in it, aud DOW taxed by stamp. Brokers' Dotes. Certificates of measurement of auy? thiug. Certificates of stook, profit, damage, deposit, or any other kind of certificate now taxed by stamp. Charter, or its renewal, or a charter party of any kind. All contraots or agreements. Conveyance, any part of the work of conveying. Endorsement of uoy negotiable or not negotiable instrument. Entry for consumption, warehousing or withdrawal. Gaugers* returns. Insurance policies, contracts, tickets, renewals, Sec., (life, marine, inland aud tire.) Lease-AU through the lease list is abolished. Legal documents-Writ of other pro? cess, confession of judgment, cognovit, appeals, warrants, Sic, letters of admi? nistration, testamentary, &c. Manifests at custom bouse, or any? where else, or for auy purpose. Mortgage, of any kiud. Passage ticket, to auy place in the world. Pawners' checks. Power of attorney for any purpose. Probato of will, of any kind. Promissory note for auythiug. Protest of any kind. Quit claim deed. Receipt-Now generally exempt, and if included in present law iu auy case, will be hereafter exempt. Sheriffs' returns. Trust deed. Warehouse receipt. Warrant of attorney. Weighers' return, of any kind. The tax of 2 cents ou checks, drafts and orders, is ull of schedule B that is retained. And this is the detail of the stamp abolitions in the law of June 6, 1372. The New York Sun has investigated the subject carefully, and finds that the following persons aad classes of persons are strongly in favor of a Democratic nomination at Baltimore: Gen. Grant, Tom. Murphy, Robeson and Secor; Cresswell and Chorponning; the Dem family; Babcock, Porter and Loot; Mor? ton, Conkling and Chandler; the military ring, San Domingo ring, Indian ring, and Seneca Bandstone ring, Dan Voor hees .and A. H. Stephens; with which illustrious combination it might also olassifv the Chicago Times aud New York World. THE FLAO INSULTED AOAIN.-A Wash? ington despatch says: The State De? partment has received despatches from George Holt, our consul at GaBpe Basia, Canada, to tho effect that the captai o of the Domioion cutter Stella Marie cap? tured the American schooner James Bliss, for aa alleged violation of the Do? mioion laws, ami brought her into port, with the Dominion flag flying at the peak over the American flag, which wus union dowo. The consul protested against tbe insult, but it was repeated. Mrs. Boffin says tho talk about ship? ping "Cleopatra's Needle" to England is all fadge, for there isn't a sewing ma chino in Great Britain large enough to work it. THE WOBK IS DONE.-Indeed ifc.ja. The success of the Liberal tioket ia de creed. What follows hereafter will be the mere forms of the consummation. Baltimore will only recognize the fact. The enthusiasm the Convention will in? spire, the load shoat of the nation that will then rend the air. will only be the expression of the general joy on the oc? casion of the new dispensation already manifested. There can be no mistake in the signB of the times. Tho ball rolls steadily on. The mutual desire of the sections for harmony and brotherly relations is un? doubted. They are rushing towards each other as do bodies towards a va? cuum. There was u vacuum io the body politic which was incompatible with its existence, und to preserve the "life of the nation" that vacuum must bo filled, and the Liberal ticket is about to fill it entirely. This it is which assures peo? ple everywhere of the happy results of the Cincinnati movement. There was a bloody sacrifice for the "life of the na? tion," but the political carnivori who then tasted of the blood have possession of the Government, and with them war, that gave them blood, must be continued to satisfy their greed. It becomes now indispensable that they shall be driven out, since they have only learned in war to coutinuo a feast of blood by lapping up the vital fluid of the nation itself. It is to disperse them and rescue the na? tion that the army of Liberaliets and patriots aro organized, and this army bas begun its march to Washington. It will be irresistible; nothing can impede its progress. On the 4th of March next, it will become the "army of occupation," aud will at once proceed to bring order out of chaos. It will renovate and dis? infect the places that have been defiled, expel the evil-doers, put an end to the rancors upon which they lived and fat? tened, break up the corrupt rings and corrupt practices of the Government, put an end to military rule, and make the Government what it was intended to be-a protection and a benefit to the I whole nation. It was intended for this, i the highest office of a worldly institu? tion assumed to come from haaven, and, therefore, properly considered a house of the Lord, and it bas beoome a den of thieves that must be oaat out, and the people are about to cast them out-a work in which Providence is giving them its help.-Riclimond Dispatch. There is no longer any doubt OH to the family treaty alleged several months ago to be in preparation between the ex Queen of Spain and the Duke of Mont pensier, for the marriage of Don Al? phonso to the daughter of the Duke. Tho young gentleman, who is now in his fifteenth year, is the late Prince of Asturias, called in the mimio court which still surrounds his mother, King of Spain, since her abdication two years ago. His prospective bride, the Prinoesa Mercedes, is three years younger, and there may, therefore, be many revolu? tions between the betrothal and the wed? ding. But in the meantime the Duke has resolved upon a bold and unoompro-1 mising attitude toward the Italian King, who bolds the Palace at Madrid. He bas always refused the oath of allegi? ance, and has now issued a manifesto against the foreigner, claiming the throne for Don Alphonso, and promising fearlessly to defend his rights when the proper time arrives. No one questions the courage or the honesty of M. de Montpellier, but ho has not hitherto been distinguished for any ardent fancy for scenes of tumult and slaughter. It is probable that when Don Amadeo leaves Madrid it will be in obedience to some more energetic persuasion than any which the Orleans Prince can bring to bear.-New York Tribune. Du. BASIL MANLY, D. D.-The Louis? ville Commercial in speaking of the pro? gress of the Georgetown College, about twelve miles North of Lexington, Ky., thus writes of Dr. Manly: "Dr. Basil Manly, D. D., of South Carolina, is its present President. He ?B the worthy son of Dr. Basil Manly, who for nearly thirty years, was the President of the University ot' Alabama, and who was re gained, in h?9 duy, as one of the best educators and disciplinarians of the South. Dr. Manly has been in Ken? tucky not quite a year, and he has won the hearts uf his brethren and commands thc respect of ull who know him." Indianapolis has a frog restaurant, which is well patronized. The Evening Journal suys: "The restaurant is sup? plied by one or two professional froggers, who hunt them in the bayous and marshes, along White Biver and its tri? butaries. Progs are taken with a grab hook, baited with flannel. The bull ele? ment in the frog's nature causes him to attack the red color. Amateurs shoot them, but the professional hunter, silent, stealthy, patient and thoroughly fami? liar with al' the habits and haunts of the reptile, is mich more snooessful with his grub-hook." Three years ago, a Gloucester lady made her huabaud promise that be would give her each day the five cent pieces he had in his pocket, and on his birth? day, a few days since, she surprised him by making him a present of a handsome gold watch, costing upwards of $100, which she had purchased with the money thus obtained. It Bhows how fast little savings will accumulate. Ex Governor Zebulon B. Yance will begin the canvass in North Carolina for Greeloy and Brown at Fayetteville, N. C., to-day, and will thou speak through the Eastern Counties every day until the Baltimore Convention. The Governor comes out boldly and earnestly for Gree? ley, subject to the action of that Con? vention. Goncrnl Bradley T. Johnson thinks th J Southern States, wherever the ballot is left fren, will support Greeley and Brown. He considers the tioket good for at least 121) of the electoral votes of the Southern States.
