THE Republicans Of the third West Vir-
ginia district adopted what might be called
q hard-money plank in their platform. They
say "our currency must be made as good as
" coin and rcdeemable in it, and add that
" the Government promised this when the
grcenbacks were issued. The stalwart
honesty of this declaration is strikingly ut
variance with the thimble-rigging triiling
vagaries of the fat-mOncy demagogues. OF
course these honest West Virginia noun
taineers did not fail to give the Republican
party credit for having kept this promise
made by the Government in its hour Of
serious trouble. AT the same time they
were wise enough to pronounce in favor OF
the continued issue of rcdeemable green
backs, as follows:
We are opposed to any further contraction
of greenback currency, and are in favor of such
currency as can be maintained at par with
and convertible into coin at the will OF the
holder. We favor such currency being received
for import duties, and deprccato the defeat OF
the recent bill for that purpose by the Demo.

WHEN man begins talking about the
uselessuess Of both of the old parties and
that kind of thing, it is safe to assume the
immediate presence of sorehead. There is
life in both the Republican and Democratic
organizations, and will continue to be so
long rs the former maintains any conss-
tency in supporting the principles of our
war-amcndCd governmental system, for the
Democracy will hold together forever, and a
day after, in its blind opposition othosc prin-
ciplcs. Meanwhile the soreheads will fume
and fret and scheme for the organization OF
a new party, to be called the Nationals, or
anything else, but eventually the struggle
will revert to first principles. When the
South, rs a section. ceases TO teach sectional
history and reasonable principles in its
public and private schools, it will be time
enough to begin TO think aud talk about the
disruption Of the Democracy and the disin-
tcgratiOn of the Republicans. Until then
the " on years in politics will be character
lied by ephemcral political man~uvcrs as
this year is; but in grand national contests
the great body Of the voters of the country

PosTMAsTER-GESERAL KEY is credited
with having q shrewd knowledge, earned
by careful observation and long experience,
of the inner motives of Southern politics.
He agrees with the views frequently ex-
pressed in these columns, that Independent
ism in that section docs not foreshadow any
inclination in the direction of the Rcpubli-
can party by those who are leaving the
Democratic ranks under its inspiration.
But he goes farther, and defines Southern
Gieenbackism to mean ultimate repudia-
tion. III his late interview with reporter
of the Buffalo Commercial, a portion of
which we have already printed, he drew tie
| following distinction between Greenbackism
in the North and in the South:
Greenbsckism at the South does not mean
exactly the same M Greenbackism at the
North Here the Nationals simply advocate
! the abolition Of national banks, the substitu-
tion of greenbacks for bank notes, and
making greeubacks an unlimited tender
| for all debts, public and private. At the
South they want all Of this and more. The
drift Of Democratic sentiment there Is in favor
of abolishng tho national banks, making legal.
tenders full tender and the only paper cur.
rency Of the country, rcpudiating the local
and State debts first, and finally the national
debt.
1t is possible, in fact quite probable, that
he is mistaken in his opinion ''of the ulti-
mate designs of some of the Northern
Grecnbackers, for not few of them are OF
the demagogical kind of anti-war measure
politicians who opposed the creation of the
national debt Take Senator VOORHEES,
for example. He is one of the raggcdcst
kind of rlg-money men now, and in April
1851, made the following declaration to his
constituents at Tcrre Iaute, Ind:
say to you, my constituents, that, as youl
representative, | will never vote one dollar
one man, or one gun to the Administration o.
. ABRAHAM LINCOLN to make war on The
South.
VOORHEES, therein embodied the feeling
of the pro-Southen Democracy regarding
the war and its consequent debt incurred
by the nation in supprcssing it. Thes,
feelings still exist, aud their existence form:

THE New York G,dyhir has struck out in
a new field Of journalistic discussion or,
rather. has revived an old one, the evasion
Of taxation by corporations. The showing
it makes of the criminally low assessments
upon the Equitable Life Building the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, the Ecw York Central and
the Hudson River Railroads, us well as the
Western Union Telegraph Company, and
other large Institutions Of the same kind, is
simply appalling. The Western Union
Company, for instance, is assessed on capi-
tai Of IGGGG} when it is claimed that il
should pay taxes upon 800, ,iOl ,G0h2i
There is something in these facts which
cannot fail Ia arrest public attention, and
the aniictiOn is not confined to New York
city alone. If the mOnopoles aud corpora
tions of the country do not want to he
called gra,ping and corrupt, they can come
forward and settle up for their share of the
public expenses. The people are rife for an

Scien:. The practice of keeping grapes
in the fruit room with the stalks insert
ed in bottles filled with water, and sus-
pended from the roof, is said to have
become general in England. 1t is very
important to direct attention to the
fact that the stem must be inserted in
water Immediately after it is severed
from the vine, and also that the end Of
shoot must be shortened. When the
branches are not at once inserted the
stalks will soon become brown and the
berries shrivel. Also, if the end of the
branch is shortened for the purpose of
giving heater appearance to the
punches when suspended in the fruit
room, the grapes will soon began to
shrivel, and if not used within short
space of time, will be of little service.

AS they were finishing the feast a
knock was heard. Bruce, with unparal-

something to eat. Bruce, in rare

closely IN regard to their travels, and
finally asked if they would chop wood
for their dinners. They answered yes.
He then took them to u woodpile that
he had noticed in the rear of the house,
and they went to work. Bruce and
Flood, filling their pockets with vict-
uals, stole out the side way from the
house and went to neighboring hill,
where they had full view of the wood
pile and the toiling tramps. There they
gloated over the picture. To make
