ALL the talk of the Radical papers about the
wish OF the Democrats to aSSail Mr.. HAYES
htic u known to be untrue. Not only is II
not the purpose Of the Democrats to disturb
Mr. HAYES, but there is no method by which
could be done If they were so disposed
Richmond DiTdfch
The Dispatch must be aware of the fact
that the early talk about assailing President
HAYES title originated with the Democrats,
and the Radicals have only taken them at
their word. If they are tired of it, and have
changed their tune, when the country be-
comes aware Of that fact, there will be a
more settled and comfortable feeling among
Che people.

ALL parties are liable to collect all sorts
OF characters, but there are two elements in
the Democrat" party thut are peculiarly
characteristic of it, viz: Arrogant bullies
Tor its leaders and ignorance and submission
on the part of its masses Such being the
status of the party, it is not to be wondered
at that there is both the spirit to do and the
willingness to follow in any track, no mat
ter how rcpulsive to the moral sense, so long
rs thereby there is the least hope of accom-
plishing some selfish or narrow or even rcyo-
lutionary motive
National Republican., 1878-06-07

So long as the public money is used it
matters little to true Democrat if il
b disposed of to no purpose so much the
better; it only helps the Mexican movement
along. tends TO increase the national debt, and
helps bring on financial distress and even
rnin. Connive, gentlemen, at all the WAYS
and means your low imnginations can sug-
gest to destroy the grand popular Govern
nent, squander its moneys on nothing or on
mammoth Southern war claims, and deny
i to worthy and loyal expenditures This
consistent with your disloyal actions for
'he past quarter of n century or more.

THE former attempt to overturn the
Government was based upon bad blood and
bad faith. PoTTER's revolution has its
foundation in perjury and forgery. The
former was conquered. The present will be
deserted by its parents, and the people will
sit down on it at the proper time. Thus
will end POTTER and his revolution. 1t

THE grand difference between the Repub-
hcan and Democratic parties is in their
general makeup. In the Republican party
we see diffusion of knowledge and indi-
vidual superiority that is not easy for any
one-man power to control, and which is i'm.
possible TO control in behalf of narrow or
doubtful measures; while in the Demo-
cratic party we have few sharp leader,
and n mass of submissive followers Moth
ing could expose this difference in the two
parties more than the present situation

A Beautiful HOuse-Plant.

The Gala lily, roots of which may be
procured of any florist, is one of the
finest plants for house growing, when
properly treated. The most practical
method is to procure an earthern jar.
suitably decorated on the outside, if de-
sired, by painting or FASTING on of frieze
or flower pictures, or by paper open
work covering. In this place rich mold
some five or six inches deep, and in this
set the Gala plant. Now put on the
top of this mold layer of clean, coarse
sand, about two inches deep, and on the
top of this some small pebbles. Then
fill the jar with water and replace as
evaporated, so as to always have the
water several inches deep above the peb-
bles. Place in warm and sunny win
dow, and the plant will throw up large,
luxuriant leaves, to be followed by the
magnificent bloom. What is still bet
ter, the flower-stalks will be sent up in
succession, so as to afford nearly con-
tinuous series of flowers. A few min
nows introduced into the water will
usually thrive without further care, and
afford pleasing study.-The I'adepend-

A Sandwich Island Princess.

A San Francisco paper thus describes
the party of blue.bloods from the Sand
witch Islands who have recently arrived
in that city on brief visit. The chief
members of the party are Gov. Dominis
of Oohu and his wife, Princess Lilinoka-
iani, heiress to the throne of the Islands,
and Mrs. c. b. Wilson, a half-blood ma
tive. The ladies, all of whom are quite
young, have never before been away
from the Islands. Mrs. Dominis and
the princess are excellent types of the
beauty of the patrician classes of the
Islands, which has been praised by all
travellers thereto. They have the olive
complexion, large, lustrous eyes, black,
waving hair, and symmetrically-devel-
oped figures of the original people of
the Islands. Mrs. Wilson is more of
the type of an American lady. All were
costumed in as correctly late fashion
as any of the San Francisco ladies who
throng Kearney street of Saturday af-
ternoon. Tney all speak English as
perfectly and fuently as the great ma
jority of American young ladies who
have duly graduated from fashionable
and emotional finishing schools, and a
vivaoity, which is all their own, makes
an hours conversation with them a
pleasure to be long remembered. The
Governor comes here upon no diplo-
matte or international business whatever,
but solely for the benefit of his wife's
health, and in pursuance of the advice
of her physicians The visit of the par
ty will be confined to California exclu-
sively. The ladies would like to make
the overland trip, but as the Hawaiian
Legislature will meet in May, it will be
necessary for the Governor to return
early in that month.
