Smith ghost is walking Igain, with ]
Union Pacific accompaniment Per-
hap5 the m ssing pages of Olkes

From the New Haven Palladium
(Rep):
It is thought in we'll informed circles
at Washington that the President will
veto the bull reducing his successor's
salaray. We hope he will. The ats
tenn pied reduction is a miserable piece
of demagoguery.
From the Hartford Times (Dem):

his own hook, and not as represent
,ti7e of the United States.
From the Philadelphia Times Qud):
1t is Blaine's turn now. He has
thus far escaped remarkably well, bu
that his good luck should continue
till midsummer was too much to ex-
rtct. Let us see what effect this
shower will have upon BIaine's snowy
plumage.
From the Cincinnati Gazette (Rep):
The Republican party Id order to
succeed, must have an uuexceptiona-

Why didn't President Grant, at the
outstart, go to some decent pcniteu-
tiury and select his private secretaries,
ministers, &c, therefrom This
would have been the proper thing to
do. He should have given the public
some chance. If convicted felons had
been put high in place, the public,
knowing their character, wou.d have
been forearmed
The farmers of Duplin and the ad-
joining counties of Sampson and
Wayne, as far as orr knowledge ex-
tends, are devoting themselves to pro-
vision crops much more largely than
heretofore. We note this with very
great pleasure. as also the additional
fact that little or no phosphates or
GU AMOS have been used. The people
are working as a general rule within
their own means, a d we anticipate
with considerable certainty on better
times in the future.
