The flower and vegetable seeds grown
by James j. IL. Gregory, Marblehead,
Mass, have long taken leading rank in
the estimation of the farming and garden
ing public. Mr.. Gregory grows his veget-
able seed on his own farms at Marblehead
in way that ensures the absolute purity
and reliability of the different varieties,
while the climate of Marblehead especially
adapts the seeds raised there for successful
culture in New England. Mr.. Gregory's

HOW THEY VIEW IT IN MICHIGAN.

From the Detroit Post.
Both the cabinet and the presidents s
policy are upon trial, and will be judged
according to their fruits At this moment
they are neither sustained by an over
whelmiDg preponderance of public opinion,
as certain journals anxious to become
organs assume; nor condemned by pub
lie opinion, as other journals, desirous of
leading the opposition party. assume. The
true attitude of public opinion is that of
watchful apd friendly expectation, accom-
panied by a proper suspension of final
Judgment The president is sustained in
so far as that the nation approves of his
avowed purpose to secure peace and good
will throughout the union; but the nation
waits to see whether the steps he takes
toward that end will be right steps and
successful steps, 1t waits. as we said
above, with friendly expectation; but not
with premature Judgment. 1t hopes and
believes that the president will do no
wrong, and it earnestly desires that he
may be abundantly successful; but. if
these hopes and desires should unhappily
be disappointed, the American people are

Catarrh in its extent and destructive force, stands
next to Consumption, and is closely allied to it :;
for in certain constitutions the transitions from

fore singular thing that those afflicted with 1t

A GRowL ALONG THE ENTIRE LINE.
From the NeaOdrk Journal


The growl from "the ground teir," as
Wendell Phillips would say, rumbles
along the entire Radical line. The men
who counted Mr.. Hayes in and the others
who approved the infamy are beinniDg to
murmur loudly because the tree they
planted doesn't bear the sort of fruit they
anticipated.
That the growl is as loud as it is, and
gives early promise of being still louder,
is Mr.. Hayes's own fault. tbs the result
of his policy of dicker and decay. Had
he removed his troops a month ago fron
Columbia and New Orleans, instead o.
dawdling and bargaining. and pretending
to be solicitous only about the fate of the
poor tAfrican. he would have stood fifty
per cent better with the people than he
stands to day.

BLAINE, THE REPRESENTATIVE REPUB
IICAN
From the Boston Trd1

From the Boston Ird0elter.
Nobody needed the assurance contained
in Senator Blaine's note, printed elsewhere
in the 1raUeller. to know that his heart
was enlisted on the right side 10 the cam
paign to demOiish the Republican party
and equal rights in the south. The senti
ments he writes find a response in the
breasts of nine-tenths of the Republican
voters of New England. and. although it
may take many long months and many
humiliations to arouse the true spirit, it is
as sure to be aroused in all its might
as it was aroused by the shameless
doughface compromises of the slave
holders era. Senator Blaine is conspicu-
ously representative Republican, and
there can be no doubt tha' when President
Hayes hears from the whole country. his
policy of discouraeing and abandoning the
southern Republicans. and of weakening
his own title to Office will be amended very
materially.
Senator Blaine's letter has had its effect
already, 1t has touched the raw" as the
words of Phillips and Garrison used to in
that other surrender period when the slave
master dictated terms to the northern

THE VOICE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RE
PUBLICANS.


PUBLICANS.
From the DeIapars County Republican.
1t is too soon to speak freely of the pres
ident's policy, for it is being developed SO
slowly that no one can guess what month
will bring forth. Our disappointment at
the result in South Carolina is tempered
by the fact that all parties admitted that
Hayes had fairly carried its electoral VOTE
The legal authorities said Chamberlain
had likewise carried the state, but this
return was disputed by the Democratic
congressional committee. A like policy
pursued in Louisiana will be fatal to Pres
ident nay es's title to his own Office, for nc
one ever contended that Packard ran be-
hind the presidential ticket.
We believe that Hayes was fairly elect
ed, and claim that his title 10 the Office
cannot be fairly disputed, So holding, We
are more than ever anxious that neither
he nor any of his cabinet shall weaker
that title in any way, and that those o
them who haYe a penchant for playing
with edged tools should be checked in goot
time.
From present indications, the southern
question will not be settled before th'
meeting of congress, and many believ
that the conciIiatory policy Of Hayes i
only designed to capture the organization
of the house. THIS we doubt, for. wit
South Carolina and Louisiana given owe
to rebel control, the United States senat
will be lost. The Republican majorit
there is but four, and these changes wi
give the Democrats two majority, an
with it the power to cripple the admins
tration and practically dictate its appoint

lima, would be fatal mistake-a polite;
