COLUMBIA. S. Ci Friday Morning, June 28, 1872. Tike Lato Convention*. The Democracy of four more States Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Now Jersey have all evinced, with more or leys dis? tinctness, their intention to join bands with the Liberal Republicans, and en? dorso Greeley and Brown. The aotion .of Georgia and New Jersey is highly en "COBraging. From these two States was tho only apprehension of opposition to tho general will of the party, whioh points unerringly to Greeley and Brown -ns the only available candidates against .Grant and Wilson. Georgia pursued 'tho same course as that taken by Ken? tucky. There was a respectable mino? rity ia favor of a straight Democratic .nomination; and to secure union und .liarmooy, tho resolutions were made j;on-committul as to the preference for '.-Presidential candidates, but tho dele . gates to Baltimore aro reported, without exception, to be conservative mon, and -most of them are known to be earnest -.advocates of the coalition upon Greeley 'and Brown. From New Jersey we have not, up to this hoar, received a fall ac? count of the proceedings of the Conven? tion Tho speech of Gov. Randolph, however, may be safely relied upoa aa en index to the general sentiment of the .delegates, and there is no reason to . doubt that the concludions arrived at .will bo similar to those of the Georgia < Oonvention. These two States ooald not, of coarso, /have materially affected the results of the 'deliberations at Baltimore, but their ^harmonious aotion gives assuraaoe of perfect unity in the Democratic racks a serious failure of which woald be as disastrous as a straight Democratic no? mination. Tho Democracy of Illinois rand Ohio were never considered doubt? ful. They are unanimous for Greeley -and Brow n. Ia these States the Greeley Republicans muster ia largo force. Ia .Illinois, by the combination whioh has -been so cordially made between tho De? mocrats and Liberals, and the wise selec? tion of ex-Go v. Ko e mer, a Greeley Re? publican and a strong man, as candidato -for Governor, there is promise of a hope? ful contest. The State, whioh has hitherto foeen classed as certain for Grant, can be ?so considered no longer. Everywhere, indeed, the campaign is progressing prosperously. There is no possibility of a change ia public senti? ment in favor of Grant. He has made .his record, and has been rapidly losiag his hold upon the popular heart for the {jost six months. His debasing his high office for the pecuniary advancement of his family aad personal friends; his gift taking; his attempted jobbery in the Saato Domiago scheme; the humiliation which be bas heaped upon the country iu hin ??uoulsnt management of the leneva arbitration; bis utter disregard .of the wishes of the people for civil -service reform, as last exemplified ia his appointment of a man, (Clark) deolared to bu a rascal by Congress itself, to the most lucrative post office in Texas. All these things may be sophistically excused and plastered over by his sycophantic supporters, bat tho intelligent citizens .of this republic are not to be so easily 'imposed upon. They know right from wrong, and cannot be induced to sustain .the latter, though it be perpetrated by V. S. Graut. Grant will grow weaker every day of 'tho campaign, as his own glaring faults -aad the usurpations and corruptions of his administration are brought home to to the people. So for as the recognition of his military services go, there hos . been aa ample acknowledgment ia his . being made President for ono term. He ?has no other claim upon the people. He is a cold, phlegmatic, selfish man, of very inferior ability, and has not a single .qualification to commend him to the .affectionate regard of the masses. Horace Greeley, on the other haod, has growa ia popular favor, day by day, since his nomioation at Cincinnati, as -Schurz predioted that he would. He is absolutely invulnerable as a candidate. The very worst bis opponents caa say of him is that ho wears a sloaoh hat, aa ill .fitting coat aad sticks his pants ia his <boot legs. Saoh little innocent peculia? rities, mere distaste for form aad fine clothes, only give zest to the people's Admiration of a man who has command? ing qualities of head aad heart like .Horace Greeley. This is a Democratic coaatry, and the -masses invariably honor most those mea ipf wealth and station who seem least .potted np by their importance. We bave often heard it said, with a feeling ot pride, by the contemporaries and ad .mirera of oar MoDaffie, that he ascd to weat a coat with the sleeves worn out at the elbows, aod woald blow his nose in .? boisterous way. "Honest old Horace" bas become a household word. So con tipiououa ? LL io uhnraotoristio of Mr. Greeley thai his enemies are nearly always constrained to concede it even while endeavoring to inj are him. The term honest, does not mean simply that Mr. Greeley would not steal. Even Grant is not accused of stealing, yet yon never hear one speak of honest Grant. It means that Horaoo Greeley is true, honest in bis convictions and fearless in their utterance; a man who docs right because he believes it to be right, and re? gardless of what others may Bay or do. We have a conspicuous instance of this io his signing Davis' bond, tho magnanimous tone be assumed towards the South the day after Lee's surrender, etc. It is the highest encomium which can be pronounced upon any man, for it bespeaks him "tho noblest work of God." Greeley is the exact converso of Grant, both mentally nud morally. He is of un active, vigorous and aggressive mind mostly right, sometimes wrong, but always actuated by high motives of un? selfish philanthropy. He has boon the unswerving, out-spoken, earnest and ir? repressible advocate of tho rights of tho poor and the oppressed at all times, in season and out of season, and it is this which invests the mun with that magnetism that draws the publio heart so strongly to him. He will, we believe, excite moro genuine enthu? siasm than any Presidential candidate siuoe JacksoD. Ho has already no in? considerable Republican strength de? veloped in Now York, Pennsylvania, In? diana, Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas and in other States; and when he shall have been endorsed at Baltimore, and put squarely and unconditionally ia the field, thousands of other Republicans will de? claro for him who are now holding back for fear of a straight Democratic nomi? nation. A Herald special, dated Washington, June 24, says: Positive information has reached me from an undoubtedly reliable source, that the Spanish war vessels have strict orders to seize and sink the American steamers Yirginius and Edgar Stewart wherever they may be found outside of neutral ports. Thus, if the Yirginius were to leave Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, where she has taken temporary refuge, she would be pounced upon and de? stroyed at once by the Spanish war steamers Arapides and Pizarro, which are lying in wait for her at that port. The instructions of the Spanish naval commanders, it is said, admit of wide construction, and the Yirginius is liable to capture as soon as oat of the reach of the guns of the Venezuelan fort. The commanders of the Spanish war vessels aro only so far limited in their instruc? tions OB to avoid armed oonfliot with neutral powers. THE DIAMOND FIELDS OF AFRICA. The latest aews from the Cape of Good Hope by mail is cot encouraging to the hopes of the diumond diggers or of those who expected to sparkle into wealth suddenly at the mines. The Herald, of Port Elizabeth, saya: "Diamonds are still most difficult to sell. We have not beard of any sales lately worth speaking of. At the public sale in Maritzbarg, a few lots were disposed of, but they were so small UB to be scarcely worth taking notice of. The general feeling here seems to be that the diamond fields have seen their best days." Money was plenty and the banks imported specie freely, so that the coiaed value was likely to be maintained despite the temporary sheen of the new found equivalent-an interesting fact ia the history of the solidarities of commerce. [New York Herald. LIVELY TALK.-Ooo of the gift taker's orgaas, the Albany Journal, thusly de ouuoiates the Iribune philosopher: " 'Hell from bo nea th' is stirred to de? moniac joy by the spoctacle of such a treachery, and every traitorous ruffian who, ia the dark deas of this emporium, gleefully draak health aad success (o Jeff.

CARROLL ? SPELLMAN. - DBEADFCD STOBY OF A DIAMOND RINO. Among the victims cf the recent railroad Hmasb-up nt Metuchen, N. J., was a Danish couple named Pobassoo, but two months married, Mr. Potasson being thc son of a Danish nobleman. They were on their bridal tour, and were en route to Sau Francisco, where Potusson's bro? ther is Danish Consul. Wbeu thu teiri blu crash came, all was darkness and confusion for a few moments, but thu gentleman soon recovered consciousness, aad bis ?i r K t thought was of bis bride. Aa immediate search was made for thu lady, who was ut hist found beneath n heap of debris, senseless and covered with blood. Upon raising ber up, her husband was horrified to hud that one of ber arms bad been completely torn ofT. The unfortunate lady was rotnovud to shelter, and the husband began the .sick? ening task of seeking his wife's missiug urm. He proclaimed that upon one of tho Hogers was the diamond wedding ring, a jewel worth many hundred dol? lars, and instantly a general search was begun. Among the prowlers about the wreck was a train band, who was observ? ed to seorete something under his coat, and walk away. Ho was soou over? hauled, aud ou perceiving that he bad been detected, be threw down his bur? den, which proved to be the lost arm. It was picked ap by the aoblemaa, who removed the ring and caused the arm to be taken care of. The lady was brought to St. Barnabas Hospitul, in Newark, where she. now lies in a fair way of reco? very. PASS HIM ABOUND.-The f'icts here? with appended are derived from a re? sponsible source, and aa anxiety to pre? vent other communities from being im? posed upon, induces us to give publicity to this statement.

General Crook reports to the Adjutant Goueral's office, nuder date of Prescott, Arizona, May 28, that ou the 22d May the indians killed a herder aad captured 2,000 head of sheep within a mile aad a bulf of his headquarters. The raid was not known until evening, wheo the sheep should have come ia. General Crook was absent at the timo at Camp Grant, and Captain A. H. Nickersou, of his stall', with two officers and thirty mea of tho First Cavalry, made a pursuit, and, by a rapid night's march, succeeded ia recaptnriug the herd at 1 P. M. tho acxt day. Owiug to tho nature of the canyon iu which the command overfibok tho herd, though they charged immediately, the Indians escaped among rocks and underbrush.

How THREE MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY BECAME INSANE.-Turnkey Gao. Mckeon yesterday conveyed Patriok Craven and his sister to the Poughkeepsie Insane Asylum, where their brother had already been ooo?ned. On the trip down, they were continually employed in giving atteranoo to expressions of affection for each other, and for another brother, Rev. Father Craven, who accompanied them. Tho clergyman carno to this country some years ago, nod recently, at his desire, his sister aud two brothers followed him. The three bnd been well ednoated, and brought with thom about 85,000 ia money. Tho otnons were all in their favor, uud tho indications pointed to a successful and happy career in tlie hind of their adoption. By ad? vice of their brother, tho priest, they purchased a furcu in Essex County, uud wont there to live. They bad been brought up in the strictest possible mau uer, und taught to have implicit faith in tho Catholic Church. Their affection for euch other was only rivaled by their devotion to tho religion in which they had been educated. To them, a heretic was thc worst possible person, aud nil who did not look upon the chinch with thoir eyes was unlit for association with thom. Near them, lived a fellow-conn trymau, who, it seems, was a Freo Ma? son. Ono of tho brothers entered this man's dwelling, and while there, learned of bis friend's connection with tho Ma? sonic order. To him, n Mason bud always seemed to bo a representative of tho evil ono, and when he was apprised of the faut that he wars on intimate terms with one of the dreaded fraternity, he run from tho house. The incident caused a depression of Bpirits, which brought on sickness, nod this in turu produced insanity. The f-ister watched by her nfliicted brother's bedside for two weeks with all tho devotion of which u woman is capable, and wore hers-.-lf out in minis? tering to him. At last, her strength gave way, and she became ill herself. Her diseuse resembled brain fever, but when she recovered her physical power, it was found that she, loo, was a maniac. The double misfortune preyed upon the mind of the other brother, whoso reason ulso soon fled, nod these three persoHS, devoted to their religiou uud to each other, became irrational beings. One brother was conveyed to tho insane asy? lum at Poughkeepsie two weeks ago. Tho sister was placed in the hospital in this city, and the other brother removed to Malone, where he subsequently at? tempted to take his own lile. It was determined early this week to send these two to the insane asylum also, and yes? terday they were placed there by Turn? key McKeon and their sane brother, the priest, whose grief ut parting with them is beyond tho power of words to de? scribe. Great tears rolled down bis cheeks, aud he seemed to be almost heart-broken. Tho ouly relief to the sombre color ng of this recital is tho statement of the physician in charge of the asylum, which is to the effect that their cases are not entirely hopeless. [Troy Times, June 21. FATAL MEDICAL BLUNDER.-A letter from Hermitage, Mo., gives an account of a terrible case of poisoning which oc? curred in the towu of Wheatland on Wednesday last. It appears that a young man, named Moore, applied to tho County physiciau for a prescription for some medicine to cure ague, und, as he objected to taking qaiuiue, the doctor prescribed a dose of bitters compounded of Peruvian bark, dog weed and whis? key. Young Moore took t\ donn of the bitters and started for his home, which he was barely uble to reach, and soon afterward died. Doctors Bellfield an.l Barnes, who had boeu summoned by Mrs. Moore to at? tend her son, in order to relieve tlie mo? ther's fears that the young man had beeu poisoned, each swallowed some of tho bitters uud soon afterwards started for their homes, but had proceeded n short distance only when Dr. Barnes was tuken violently ill, aud was compelled to dismount from his horse, uud was just able to drug himself home, und died during the night. Dr. Redfield, feeling premonitory symptoms of poisoning, spurred his horse to his utmost speed, und just reached bis house and fell insensible nt tho door. He was carried iubide, ant: died within fifteen minutes. Thc matter had not been investigator] when the letter was written; therefore, it is not known whether the doctor whe prepared the bitters made a mistake, 01 whether the druggist from whom lu purchased tho medicine committed c blundor. --. . - LET THEM Go.-Tho Radical organ ii Columbia, in a recent issue, boasted ovei the accessions to the Republican ranki which they are receiving throughout th?
