section Of Virginia.

During all this period its prominent object mas
been to advance the interests of the people Of
whose life it is the daily chronicle Its fortunes
have been their fortunes; it has shared their
prosperity and suffered in their disasters. Its
inspiration has been the desire to forward the
bes. interests of the community in which it is
located, and it's prosperity is. as it has been
purposely made, insepsrable from that Of the
community it aims to represent. When they
grow rich it hopes for reward commensurate
with its labors While they are poor it expects
make their success the measure of its own.

A HEAVY DIAMOND. - Col. j. I'll.
Wood owns the largest diamond in the
United States. 1t was found at the
Cape Of Good Hope, Southern Africa,
and weighed in the rough one han
dred and seven carats. 1t was cut in
New York at cost of 81 600, and re-
duced to forty carats. 1t is what is
called by connoisseurs a little "off
color" being of a delicate straw tint,
but very brilliant, especially by gas
light. 1t is about three-quarters of an
inch IN diameter, or the size ola com
mon hickory nut, and has sixty face
sides; each of which reflects the light.
1t at present composes the set of q
heavy gold ring. If it were white
diamond its value would be immense.
but being 'off color" it has been val
ued by Tiffany, of New York, at only
$4,000.

tration.
If we look for the causes which
have reduced the Republican party to
its present doubtful condition we can
easily find them. One, of limited
scope, is the hard times; the other
and the efficient cause, is impatience
with what may best be described as
low, personal, selfish, intensely par
tisan character of administration,
which fosters such iniquities as the
Credit Mobilier, the moiety system,
the salary grab, the enormous whisky
and Indian frauds, questionable
transactions of all kinds involving
high officers, and an apparent disre-
gard of them, despotic party con-
troll by the office holding interest, and
a contemptuous violation of solemn
party pledges. These things, and
such as these, are not, indeed, pecu-
liar to the Republican party, but the
Republican party is largely composed
of men who viii not tolerate Them
When Republicans said the civil SER
vice ought to be reformed, Mr.. Nor

was mud throwing, and moved to in

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE In
1875.

Assuming that the Republican par.
ty does not mean to destroy itself by
the denomination of General Grant
who could not even carry Massachu,
sets, and would certainly lose New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, it is
time to look at the considerations
which should determine the selection
OF candidate. Notwithstanding the
Republican successes of the last au-
tumn, it is plain that the Republi
cans can not elect candidate merely
by the party momentum. The stu
alton can best be studied in Massa-
chusetts. That is the typical Repub-
hcan State. In 1872 the Republican
majority was nearly $4,000. Last
year the Democrats elected the Gov
ernor and several members of Con-
gress. During the year there was a
party revival, SO to speak-a vigor-

A Warning.

Ihe effrontery with WHICH Boss
Shepherd, the Washington Ring, and
their confederates have continued or
in their career of public robbery, Will
the full knowledge that a Democratic
House of Representatives. would soon
ibe called to pass upon their acts, has
seemed unaccountable upon any the
ory except that they expected to secure
the aid of enough corrupt Democrats
in the new House to shield them from
justice. 1t is well known that among
the most serviceable instruments of
the Ring in the last Congress were men
calling themselves Democrats, and at
least one of these has already been
properly rebuked for his perfdy by the
action of his outraged constituents.
That this was the hope upon which
Boss Shepherd and his crew relied, the
events of the last few days have made
evident. Since Congress has assem-
bled, the most desperate attempts have
been made to capture prominent Dem
ocratic members, special attention be-
ing directed to the new Representa-
tives from the Southern States; and as
in India the native hunters send tame
elephants among wild herds to inyeigle
them to destruction, go old stipendia-
ries of the Ring; who profess to be
Democrats, have been employed to
lure the new members into the net
WEIGH has been set for them.
We give notice to all concerned that
this plan will not work. The elections
which gave the Democratic party
majority in the present House Of Rep
resentatives were carried on the issue
of opposition to Grantism and to the
tlieving Rings which have grown pow.
erful under the existing Administra-
ton; and if there is one Ring that is
more obnoxious to the country than
another, it is the arrogant and shame
less band of plunderers who by favor
of Grant have been carrying on their
operations under the immediate .sba-
dow of the White House. The meth
DDS used by this Ring to influence
Congressman are well understood, and
there will be no difficulty in compre-
hending the motives of any pretended
Democrat who yields to these influ-
ences.
This winter must be had one for
Rings of every sort, and inexperienced
Congressman who invest in any of
them will find that they have entered
into most dangerous speculation.
