can party, having written letter to
DR.. Gilmer, Chairman of the Central
Committee of the Walker wing nf the
Republican party, urging that. the two
shall reunite for carrying ont Rrpub-
lican principles in the State, the latter
writes letter in reply, saying that the
Walker Republicans left the Wells
party because they were either forced
to do so or oppose the policy of the
President. After alluding to the almost
unanimous endorsement of Republican
principles by the white men of tho
State, and asserting that the colored
people who were misled by the Wells
leaders are now hocking by hundreds
to the Grant Walker standard. He
concludes as follows: "YOu ask for a
coalition of the two wiags of the Re-
publican party. l cannot admit that
the party is divided. On the contrary
| claim that the Grant-WalkCr party is
tho national Republican party of Vir-
ginia, representing the policy of the
President aud of Congress, aud as such
has no division to heal. To the late
Wells party have only to say that we
shall gladly welcome them in our ranks,
for we are unwilling TO deprive any
class of citizens of the innumerable
blessings that must flow to Virginia
from an unequivocable enforcement ot
those national principles of which Pres
ident Grant and Congress are the head
and front.

Cu,ting Hay IN the Evening

This is done by some farmers, and
with most excellent effect. They set
the mower a-going at five or six O'Clock,
or earlier, according to the amount OF
hay it is designed tocut. If wet wealth
er follows for day or two, no harm, or
but little, results, the hay being green
If, however, the weather is fair, as 1t Is
in rsost cases,-no hay being out when
the sky threatens-it will get the tirst
rays of the sun in the morning, and -oy
noon will be pretty we'll dried. Stirring
it freely-during the whole dsy-by
three o'clock it will be fit to so in; tbs
where the grass is rather light OF the
stem is not heavy.
Here is an advantage of several hours,
which the morning cutting would not
get. With the use of the tedder, hay,
However green, can thus be cured per
fectly in a day, and come ont IN the
winter as fresh and green as it IS posi-
bic to get hay. We think the plan Is
entitled to attention. p t.

SEDper Crust,v

The blacks are the "upper crust" in
Washington, and are very tenderly
handled by the local authorities. I'm
fortunate whites, under q decision OF
the Criminal Court, have heretofore
been seized upon at the pleasure of the
police. IN the trial of negro recently
in Washington for larceny, the Judge
of the above Court discharged him be-
cause he was arrested without a war
rant. The Superintendent of Police
consequently has issued an order that
no arrests are to be made hereafter
without warrants unless the officer sees
| the offence committed.

The Opening Of the Campaign.

The Enquirer says that the Repuhli
caus propose 10 open the campaign in
Ohio with speeches from Senator MoR.
roN, of Indiana, and General HAYES, on
the 18th of August, at Wilmington,
Clinton county. 1t has been the GUS
tom oil the Republican party, eyer since
the war closed, to make that the princi
pal issue, and to fight over its battles
again. The same speeches which its
orators delivered in 1865 and lS6G have
been repeated with little variation in
l~67 and lS6S. There is au exception,
however, TO be made here Senator
MORTON makes very different speeches
now from what he did in 1855. His
Richmond (lndjana) nti-negro suffrage
speech we should like to hear again,
and if he does not give it TO US, we shall
have to republish it for general circuia
tion. 4 better answer to MORTON OF
1869 than the MORTON of 1855 can Lot
be well imagined. His speech of that
year must have another string. 1t would
be embarrassing to Radical orators to
have To introduce any new matter, as
the lawyers say, into their plsadings.
1t is true that the Democratic nomi
nation of General RoSECRANs would
seem to complicste the matter a little
and initiate against the suitsbleness o
the old war addresses; but the ditficul
ty can be got over by little more bras:
and impudence, which the speaker:
know so well how to employ. The wal
has been over these four years, but oul
Radical friends evidently suppose tina
the capital they gained in it will be suf
ficient for generation at least.
Having become so well accustomed tc
the "Copperhead effusions" of our dis,
tinguished Republican friends, We
should be lost if q campaign opened and
passed without them as the principa
staple. There is a propriety after al
in the Republican party discussing tn,
war. 1tis thing of the past, and, from
present indications, the party itself vii
soon be In that category.

The sturdy build and habits of Eng,
