The PEACH CRoP,-One of the peculiarit,es oi
this crop is that It pays well when the yield
is abundant. The perishnble nature of the product
necessitates quick sale, and whea the supply !,
large 1t often sells at sacrafce. But when the
crop is lighter the fruit is generally better, will
bear longer transportation, and will command a
better price. The present season the crop IL some
sections is failure, and IN all less than yerage
Hence the supply will be limited, and as the fruit
10 good the fortunate owners Of full orchards will
have profitable harvest. Already we hear OF
many who have sold their fruit, delivered at boat
or cars, for 70 to 80 cents, aud the prspect prom
ises even better prices. Owing TO the uncertainty
of the Baltimore and Philadsphia markets, many
growers wagon their truit many miles to reach
railroad connection, where they can ship fruit di-
Iectly to New York, aud unless Baltimore and
Philadelphia dealers deal more literally than in
the Fast, they WI probably find the supply much

The Democratic Nomination Eiec'
ton


ton
For Mayor, on Saturday was more enthusiastic
than any previous one, if numbers be criterion
At the previous nominatstion for Mayor u e
Democrats poIled S72 votes Simms 479, Osle
39l; at the election following Joshua L Slmns
got 1860 votes. and Joshua S Valentine 1910 votes
At the nomination election on Saturday Mr..
Simms got more votes than were polled at the
previous nomination election for Mayor ana there
were nearly ss many votes polled as there were at
the last election, icing in all 100. II large and
increasing vote at the nomination is sign Of grow
ing strength and coming victory as the Commercial
intimstes why then the Democrats ought to be
greatly encouraged since their vote, which was an
honest one, has increased nearly 100 percent since
the last nomination election for Mayor.
The election Of the ballot box suffers Is no Cri-
terion. 1t was mere farce. Mayor Valentine
received 1910 votes and was elected Edward J..
Dougherty's friends put 1900 ballots in the
boxes, and hal Hayes, Fraims, and Vincent, 5
friends only received tive hundred votes as 1t was
hoped, all might have been well. But when their
honest votes run the poll up to 300. over th"n-
sand more than the votes which elected Mayor
Valentine, the fraud became too glaring to be
tanned and the cheat had to bs thrown overboa ri.
One of the candidates charges that the votes OF
negro repsaters were bought as low few pen
MES. 1t is strongly suspected that all the ballot
boxes were stuffed to give all appearance of an
increase in the Radical vote Of the city But this
was not necessary where the negroes were per-
mitted to repeat in every ward.

SOVEREIGNTY.

Last Sunday the REPUBLICAN had some
thing to say about the fragrant inroads
the Grant administration is making upon
the rights of the people and the rights of
the States, and the evasive manner in
which the defenders Of the administra-
ton met these charges. Our motive in
doing this was not prompted by personal
considerations, but by the desire to keep
before the people the real issue involved
in the present presidential canvass. The
defenders of the administration desire to
conceal the real grievances of the people
by raising irrelevant questions. They are
moved by personal considerations, not by
by a wish for the public good; they are
seeking the perpetuation of what is es-
teemed by many a personal rather than
republican governmental government, as
some have said, that means to place the
sovereignty Of the nation in the person of
It's ruler. We believe President Grant I'M
derstands the people Of this country too
well to undertake to make a sudden
transfer of their sovereignty: but it
known that lie has certain military pro

SATAN RERuKTNa SIN.

Is it not surprisingly singular that the
supporters of the united State ticket per-
sist in charging upon Governor Warmoth
the responsibility for certain laws which
have obtained an iniquitous prominence,
when they well know that the authorship
of these statutes belongs to his worst enc
mics, and that he was the first mover for
their repeal? They also show that the
sole obstacle that interfered with their re-
moval from the statute book was the coali-
ton of the Democrats and the Radicals at
the last session Of the Legislature,
firmly combining to resist every political
measure Of which he was the author.
They know this, and still persist in their,
Unwarrantable charges. The very men
who denounce the Governor for not secur-
ing the repeal of these laws, are the very
men who prompted it. The Customhouse
party would have been powerIess without
Democratic alliance. That these workers
of iniquity were finally defeated in their
revolutionary attempt to overturn the
State, and iuaugurate anarchy, is not ow-
ing to any exertions of the McEnery,
Jonas & Co. following, but to the Cover
nor and his adherents When Colonel
Patton made those old and effete reitera-
tons Thursday night at the tenth ward
meeting, he was only throwing dust to
blind the public to the iniquity Of his own
candidates. He knew that Mr.. Jonas was
more responsible for the failure in the re-
peal Of these laws than the Governor Of
the State. It was Mr.. Jonas who urged
forward the January disgraces and re-
j0iced at the obstacles thrown in the way
ofthe Governors exertions for peace, har-
mony and good government.
Evidently Colonel Patton and his SYM
pathizers think everything is corrupt that
has not the advantage of their paternity
and direction. Even wicked things would
become pure, and the black places light
if only subjected to the reflection of their
political smiles. Alas they do thirst for
the flesh pots of Egypt It's true, It's
pity, and pity It's, It's true, "but these
pastures bright and wales serene" are not
for you Thou and thy following must
tarry yet awhile and learn patience Pa
tience, colonel is virtue

clivities hat lead him to believe in gov
eminent that is made strong with bayo-
nets rather than those fraternal bonds
which bind SO powerfully free and intel
ligent people; and he is backed up in his
inclinations by the Radical party, which
has more faith in organized ignorance
than in an intelligent and virtuous con-
stituency. These are facts that stare the
American people in he face to-day The
friends of the administration may try to
conceal them by talking about secession,
Jefferson Davis, Calhoun and other emil
nent men who favored the doctrine of
State sovereignty before the war for seces-
sion; but the facts are too startling and
suggestive to be kept out of sight by ques-
tons that have been defnitively settled
The Southern people are now just as loyal
to the Union as the most loyal people of
our country, and the attempt to raise the
question Of State sovereignty when they
are simply asking for rights that are given
by the constitution and enjoyed by other
States, is an infamous attempt to revive
the bitterness Of the past in order that the
present administration may stealthily con-
tinue to make inroads upon the rights of
the States and the liberties of the people.
The Grant organ in this city gravely
tells the people State rights means State
sovereignty; State sovereignty means Sc
cession; secession means disunion, war,
Generalization, slavery, ruin" This kind
Of talk may do for organized ignorance,
but it will not do for intelligent black and
white folks. The dullest negro in the
land, we will ven ure to say, has a better
knowledge Of what sovereignty means
than that so pompously and dogmatically
set forth by the little champion Of Grant
ism in this city Either that or it will
fully Perverts the meaning of State rights
in order to conceal the real intentions of
the President and the Radical party as to
where sovereignty shall be placed in the
future, The true issue, as we have said
upon former occasion, in the present
presidential contest, is whether the fed
eral government shall continue to be re-
publican, and respect the rights of States
and local communities; or whether it shall
be permitted, under the continued rule of
President Grant and the Radical party,
to degenerate into a centralized personal
government, backed up by organized ig-
norance. In all of the old free States Of
the Union where the people are raHying
to the standard Of Greeley and Brown the
true issue is understood return to
good republican government is demanded,
and the demand is backed up by the in
telligent masses all over the old free
States. The new free States-the States
of the South-have only to follow their ex-
ample to be able to participate in the
glories that will follow the success of the |
Liberal party in the coming presidential
contest. After the fourth of next Novem-
Der the Radical party and its military Pres
ident will know more about sovereignty.

That the Last Ditchers do not intend to
give up the struggle for the funds is inti-
Gated by the fact that yesterday an ennis
sary was dispatched to New York for the
purpose of working upon the sympathies
of the committeeman. What Mr.. John
Ellis expects to accomplish we DO not
know, but would recommend, for his own
sake and peace Of mind, not toput himself
in the way of a rebuff from the old hard
Schell who manages the political machine

1t is a matter Of great surprise to our
calico contemporary and its Dolly Var
den ticket" how the revival Of the old cam
paign Democratic clubs of 1868 should
develop such a strong sympathy and pre-
ference for the Liberal movement in this
State The thing is natural enough, how
ever. It is not the young men who are in
consistent, but the old file leaders They
opposed Grant then, but are favoring him
now; while the young men are still OPP
posed to the Radical ticket, and striving
for the right. They have learned to per-
ceiye also what the old" ofice-seekers
can't see, that young men should have
chance in politics The old political fos-

Wefaar the Picayouae has put its foot in
it again Assuming at last that Mr.
ScheIl has really written letter of good
advice to Mr.. Lasere, it proceeds to in
form the Democratic National Committee
that the party here, of which it is the sole
organ, is perfectly competent to manage
its own affairs. Well, yes, possibly that
is true; but then what becomes of the
Tammany fund? We understand the
Lasere-R Randolph committee is an appi-
cant for 1.-The quota Of Louisiana. Will
tie national committee send its money,
where its advice is spurned? Or will it
not very naturally accept the assurance of
the Picayue that the Louisiana Demo-
cracy is perfectly able to manage its own
affairs, without advice from abroad, 4"
and let them pay for the management to
boot
OF course we have no interest in the
matter, and really do not care what the
B6urbons here may decide upon; yet,
from the remarks of discomfort we heard
yesterday, we infer it would have been the
safer policy to first secure the money and
then protest against the intermeddling of
Mr. Chairman Schel.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-07-28

A more impudent attempt to obtain
money under false pretenSes than the ap-
plication of the united State ticket man
ayers to the National Liberal Committee
for Louisiana's quota of the campaign
fund, is not upon record One set of this
composite faction do not pretend even to
recognize Greeley and Brown as their ma
tional leaders, They hang out their ban
ner at Reform headquarters with these
names conspicuously omitted from their
list Of candidates They claim not to be
compromised Oh national matters, and do
not exact support of the Liberal presiden-
tial ticket from their followers. Some of
the prominent men openly express pre-
ference for Grant, and their candidate for
State Attorney General audaciously pro-
claimed at meeting called to ratify the
Baltimore nominees, llama non-interven-
zionist in'federal politics"
Under these circumstances the effort
participated in by these Reformers to OBJ
tain and misappropriate the moneys re-
ferred to, can be locked upon in no other
light than as a deliberate attempt to de-
fraud-at least SO far as the Reform clique
of the United Stateites" is concerned In
this light evidently the National Demo-
cratic Committee, as evidenced by Schelrs
letter to Lasere, viewed it.
