Prettyman's newspaper. the Peniasu-
tor NeWs, refers to the Custom House
officials, for whose appointment and con-
duct the Republican party is RESPONSE
bic, az follows:
Or. Nolen's arrest as defaulter to the
United States excites u good deal of pity
among his friends and acquaintance in
Wilmington. He is simple minded, in
offensive old man, and though he was
chief OF the Office he was only neminally
SO. while Mr.. Isanc J. jenkins was the
active business man. The latter ought
to have attended to the business better
and thus saved his old friend and patron
from his present woful condition.
Prettyman and Davidson both have
lucrative Offices. and have been enjoying
themselves pretty much as Nolen has
with clerks to attend to their duties, and
it may be that their securities will be
found to be no more able to secure the
government from loss than those o
holen. Straw bail has been the fashion
under Grants administration.

remark will apply as well to parties as to
persons. And certainly it may be more
pointedly used in reference to the Re-
publican party than to any other that
preceded that once powerful and arc
CANT organization.
But few year since with an army at
its beck and call, Democratic opponent
could scarcely speak his mind on poll
tics.
Then 1t was not uncommon for a war
howler properly and aptly so-called
to denounce every man who was not a
Republican. and did not wear black
face, or steel clad fist, as ." traitor
or "a rebel sympathizer." This was fre-
quently done in subdued and scoffing
tones; sometimes within ear-shot of the
lnefensive parties and these remarks
were not tconfned to men, but also applied
10 women. knowing that the police we're
all of the same party, for meme but Radi-
calls were allowed to hold office, and that
II crowd was raised on the street the
Democrat was sure to be arrested and in
earcerated, without regard to the facts in
the case, what was intended as an insult
was often disregarded.
How fortunate it is that the Democrat;
are a christian and forgiving people; and
how unfortunate it would be if these in.
salts were treasured up and preserved ir
malace as the heather and the savage
does, for tho love of revenge; what .
terrible state Of affairs would result nov
when the Republican party is so low anc
SO detested for the thieves which abount
10 its high places.
Who shall say that the Almighty pow
OF, who proclaims protection to the meel
and the lowly even to the sparrow, is no

and which they sought under the plea O
free speech and reduced taxation.
