For some time past the propriotors
iof tho DAILY REPUBLICAN, have Ind In
contemplation the using OF a quantity
OF block or plated matter In the edi-
tions Of their paper; as the matter
seemed to embrace a great variety Of
news most admirably selected. The
compositors were notified OF the In
tentions OF the publishers last Satur.
day, and were told that on account Of
the space taken up with the plated
matter. less composition would be no.
quirod, and they would be compelled
to dispense with Mt last three compost
tors, and one Of them was told on
Saturday evening that his services
would no longer be required.
On Monday, yesterday plated mat
ter was used for the first time and all
compositors except the one dlscharg
ed on Saturday were on hand and
worked as usual. This morning they
came back and declined TO go to work
as the plated matter displaced regular
hands, and they could not afford to
work for all they could make. The pro-
prletors were compelled to do the best
they could by using some new force
In addition to what remained after the
regular composltors went out.
They expect to have plenty of hands
In a day or 50. and their work to go on
without interruption. They regret
that some OF their best hands have
felt that their duty to the association
to which they belonged left them no
alternative than TO leave, and at any
time hereafter the proprietors OF the
REPUBLICAN will gladly re-employ
them when needed, with the under
standing that they, the proprietors,
are to have the exclusive management
OF their own paper, and are permitted
to publish it as they deem the best for
their interests.

The cold weather of the past week
is reported to have greatly injured tho
peach buds in some portions of Mary
land. We have not yet heard OF any
damage having been done to the peach
trees In our State, and we think II Is
probable that our neighbors III Mary
land may find that sufficient number
of buds reuiain intact to Insure a fair
crop of fruit. II is evident, that yege-
tatiou has not advanced nearly so lar
as when the great freeze occurred last
year, when the entire crop was de-
stroyed, and we hope that the cold we
experienced the ra5t week will prove
an advantage instead of an injury.
