The following sensible remarks, short
and pithy, are extracted from a leading
editorial in the Boston Post, OF Tuesday s
date. 4 house divided against its slf can
not stand, and it is worse than usel, S. for
the Democratic party of this country to

unless they are unit on every plank of

The expectation OF an increased Democratic

that was suffered to rest on the Democratic plat
form had been wholly removed by an urequivo-

because this would. in the first place, have
drawn over to the Democratic side the large
body of 1issffected Republicans who could not
otherwise be moved. and III the next place, thu
apathy in that party which at the last excited
euch alarm ard occasioned such exertions would
have been converted into active cooperation
With the only part. that promises eventual ex

lesson Is brought home With fresh force to the
Democrats Of Massachusetts, AID the country,
that unless tho decarsti1E for the Amendments

unequal than usual. 1t one point in Georgia the
fall in Angus: twas nearly fourteen inches, and
in some parts Of Florida it amounted to twenty

These variable atmospheric conditions have in
creased the prevalence Of rust and caused the
destruction of both the leaves and fruit. These
drawbacks, though greater than that reported
in September of last year. are not sufficiently &C.
rious to excite apprehension OF greatly depre-
ciated yield. They are reported each year in some
portions OF the cotton area. La tbs record OF

GENERAL GRANT AND THE NEW YORK
REPUBLICANS.

From the N. Y. Herald.
The Republican party of this city and State,
from the never ending but still beginning
squabbles among its discordant leaders,
cliques, and factions, is in a very bad way
The two great bones of contention among
them are the Custom House and Tammany
Hall, with the fat pickings thereof. From
the dissolution in 1860 of the political firm of
Seward, Weed q Greeley these disturbing
factions have continued their silly intrigues
and plots and counterplots against each other
until the party, after holding the State for
fifteen years and more against all hostile
combinations has now become in this city
and in Albany mere plaything in the hands
of the Tammany sachems. General Grant
has undertaken the difficult task of restoring
harmony and what Kossuth would call ''sol-
darity" to the New York Republicans in a
pretty positive way; but, so far, instead of
harmony We have only confusion worse
confounded.
General Grants system of peace-making
among these squabbling factions, in a mill
tary view, is very good. His object is to
unite the New York Republicans in support
of his administration. He finds that he has
to deal with two factions which will not agree,
and he therefore concludes that one of them
must be put down. He finds the faction
represented at Washington by Senator Conk-
ling loyal and tractable, and he adopts it;
| ne nnuS the faction represented by Senator
Fenton domineering, dictatorial, grasping,
and rebellious. and he rejects it. He finds
that Fenton has no faith in him, and he re-
solves to put no faith in Fenton; and so Me.
| Fenton is weeded ont of the Custom House.
But here, while it is manifest that this line
OF acuon has not recouciled
Mr.. Fenton to General Grant, we see
that it has aliensted Mr.. Greeley, the chief
scribe of the Fenton faction And again,
General Grant undertakes, through Collector
Murphy to detach the Republican party of
this city from its demoralizing blandishments
of Tammany Hall by wedding out the Tam
many Republicans from the Custom House
and by bringing the State Central Committee
to bear upon the Tammany strikers in the
Republican clubs of the city; when we fnd
that, while Tammany provides for the lucky
fellows discharged from the Custom House,
Mr.. Greeley and his city committee stand by
their Tammany brethren and defy the Re
publican State Central Committee, and
denounce it as too officiously informed
ding in other peoples affairs. Nay, more:
the hackers of Fenton and Company are
silly enough to undertake the removal of
Collector Murphy on KnOw-Nothing
dodge, and it is only then that they dis
cover that Murphy is too much for them.
The disguised Trombone is with Fenton
and against Grant. 1t says, speaking of a
certain Republican newspaper manifesto,
that ''the force of the document would be
greater did not its writer SO strongly insist
that the Republicans ought to re-elect Senator
COrkling and renominate General Grant.
Here is a shot both at Conkling and Grant.
