adoption OF some measure for the construction of a

THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF FLOUR.

f"o" THE baltimore AMERICAN OF SATURDAY.
we observe numerous paragraphs in the journals
or the Administration which connect the recent rice
In flour and grain with the Tariff of 1876 and the
reduction of British duties on breadstuffs. "The
wing press, says Of these journals. "wth all

Peaches received from friend, saws :-s.Tbey were
originally Of the ordinary kind of fruit, but have
been improved under the culture of Mr. Royston--
and as his mode Of producing this extraordinary
change in the size and flavor Of his peaches, may
be of great advantage to farmers and others, we
give it to the public. "He digs around the roots
in April and July, and cleanses them Of worms,
and then places around them a small quantity Of
salt and sat-petre This is a simple but efficient
process and we believe If generally adopted would
prevent the complaint which universally prevails,
of the deterioration of the fruit, and the rapid de-
cav of the peach tree"

AN ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION.

In publishing the list of the various appropfia-
tlons made by Congress at the late session. as fur
nshed by the Union, the Richmond Times says
"Flfty-one and half millions is rather an impos-
ing exhibit for administration whose supporters
have dlated so much upon the virtues of economy.
But Democracy has always been but another name
Tor inconsistency. Its character was but too well
sketched by MIR. TooMBs of Georgia, in his adm-
rable speech, from which VIC cite very forcib,a
passage.
"We have heard (says he) but little, and seen
less, OF economy and retrenchment during the pre-
sent session of Congress. Economy is a disease

tore elections; and IL is usually ocer before the ac

prlanon bills are the true tests, and the only true
tests OF your economy. There yon must begin to
retrench; and, whenever you intend seriously and
In good faith to redeem your pledges to the country.
you will begin there"
When it is considered that the highest calcula-
ton OF Mr.. Walker is that the new tariff will pro-
duce twenty-eight millions, and that business men
think it will not yield twenty, we think it must be
confessed that the fiscal prospects of the dominant
party are not very fiattering

PENNSYLVANIA.

The election for members of Congress takes
place in this State on the second Tuesday in Octo
Der, and the canvass promises to be one Of great
animation and interest AS might be supposed the
Tariff is the absorbing topic of discussion Both
parties consider the new Tariff law highly iniu-
rlous to the interests of the State and both cordial
y concur in the necessity for its amendment
Their only difference, therefore, is as to the best
means of attaining that object. The Democrats
contend that it would be utterly futile to elect
Wings, because they can effect nothing with the
Party which holds the fate of the measure in its
hands; while the Wings insist that there is nothing
to be hoped for but in change Of Administration.
and that it would be selfabasng and dishonorabe
in Pennsylvania to sustain, much less to sue for the
favor of men, who have practsed so fragrant and
outrageous deception upon her, as was done in
the last Presidential election
An IsSue is thus made up which will fully test
the extent of the guIlibty or party adhcsivencss.

While we fully concur with the Republican that
''the project of Washington and Marshall is vet

say that the way our friends in Richmond turned
the ''cold shoulder to us last winter, and went off
upon a Irritation with "Peter Clarke" was well
calculated to make us look about and see what we
could do to help ourselves. If they can dissolve
