BOTH SIpEs.-From the beginning it has a
singular evidence of the greatness and nobili-
ty OF the aims of the Republican party that it
has not feared to let the arguments of its cne-
mics be heard by its own faithful adherents
As early as 1860 the speeches of Ii lcoln and
Douglas were printed in the same pamphlet
and circulated all over the North by Republic
cans. A similar course might be taken now
without danger, if not with positive advantage
to the party. In State where the common
school system is SO thoroughly developed as
here, Pendleton on reputation, Vallandig-
hams disloyal TRADES and the blaring of the
Blair trumpet can do no possible harm In the
way of theological teaching it has been thought
as useful to show men the terrors of the lower
world as to point out the glories of heaven
So in secular affairs, political well-doing may
be inculcated by letting the people see the un-
holy proclivities of the Conservatives as exhib-
tied in their appeals TO their followers s ,Y

companion pieces, entitled respectively my

They re Savedp and they represent an oc-
currence that actually took place ON board the
ship Flora, from Liverpool to New York, in
1859. During raging storm an infant fell

over after it. The sailors, surprising both GER

usual happy and eloquent manner, paid his re-

General Grants letter protesting against the
suspension of Mr.. Stanton, is considered a
gross outrage. as the publication of the letter
referring to it made its publication necessary.
Army officers have denounced the evident in

the most unmeasured terms All of Sheri
dams friends are reioiced at the Presidents
publication of the correspondence duplicating
both himself and General Rousseau in the
charges brought against the latter by General
Sheridan. 1t is claimed in official circles
that General Rousseau, and probably the Pres
ident, have brought themselves within reach
OF the prov sion attaching o penalty to the act
OF interfering with the reconstruction law. All
army officers speak Of it as disgusting exbi-
bition OF the violation of military etiquette on
the Presidents part. This unexpected publ-
cation by him confirms the prevailing impress.

The Argus receives Grants letter rather
coldly. The castles in the air, which it has
been building during the last two months have
suddenly vanished alike the baseless fabric Of
vision. The bitter regret it feels must be
soul-harrowing, for doubtless many Pitts read
ers, like the agricultural gentleman who an
nounced his intention of voting for Grant, no
matter who nominated him, have become tho
roughly prepossessed in the Generals favor
that no amount of depreciation which may
now be attempted can ALLEVIATE their affections
But it is nothing new for Providence to bring
good out of evil in this way

Mr. EpIToRt-T was pleased to BEE your re-.
marks upon the high prices of fruit" in our
market, and the gentle rebuke Of the dealers
who spread out for sale, conspicuously labelled

which are hardly fit for the hogs to eat. 1t is
a burning shame that in the superabundance
OF the fruit crop this season, that prices should
be Kept up as they are. 1 noticed remark in
your paper few days since that the steamer
Richmond on her last trip brought from the
eastward three hundred bushels of blueberries
and Notwithstanding this large amount was
added to our usual supply from other sources
IN this vicinity, these berries were retailing at
ttoetUe cents a quart! And so it has been
throughout the berry season, never more pro-
llfc, the most exhorbitant prices have ruled,
and so it will continue to be, in nv opinion,
Just so long the almost innumerable fruit shops
are patronized. Each and all of them must
have a supply for their customers, and each
try to monopolize the market, and having OBJ
tanned supplyandfxed their prices, rather than
bulge cent from them the fruit is allowed to
rot on their hands, and unless they can pedde
IL out TO the poor children who cannot afford to
pay the exorbitant prices for sound fruit, it is
cast into the garbage barrel and goes where il
ought, to the hogs. Briefly, then, my remedy
would be to purchase only at those stores where
the fruit can be obtained at fair prices, and
leave the others to die out and the keeper IL
seek some more honorable employment for q

formation that the presence Of General Grant
in Baltimore, and his protest at the time of the

Governor Swami from obtaining the use of the
six hundred United States soldiers then at
Fort McHenry, to force the election of the
