Our candid opinion is that

their management better than

The Republican party has been for twenty
years the hope and safeguard of the Amer
can people. Its decay and fall has been pre-
dicted again and again; but the hour OF its
dissolution will not be reached in this gene
ration. 1t has consistently stood upon prin-
ciples which are approvedb by the moral sense
of intelligent and candid men. At no time
in its history has it deviated from an honor
able course for considerations of mere policy,
and its opponents have been forced from the
necessities of antagonism to be the advocates
and abettors of ideas pernicious to society
and dangerous to the nation. These false
ideas have annihilated free political thought
and action in the entire South; communism
is advocated to applauding mobs in the West
and even at the North, amid returning pros
perity, unreal pictures of poverty and destitu-
ton have been held up before the laborer.
He has been told that depression in business
has prevailed in this country alone and is
alone attributable to a corrupt management
of the national finances. These harmful
doctrines have been propagated by an appeal

made by unscrupulous adventurers. The
discomfort thus created is directed against
the dominant party by the most fragrant and
corrupt methods. But there is reaction
most observable in the present campaign in
this State, which demonstrates the fact that
in spite of strong party prejudice, good citi-
zens will in crises and emergencies recognize
the sovereignty of duty. Never, since the
war, has this State seen so many accessions
to the Republican party from those who have
hitherto been Democrats. They renounce
the party with which they have long acted
because they are at length persuaded that it
has shamelessly abandoned principle and is
Democracy only in name.

other growers assert that, this year, after

of being better berry for drying purposes
when the price Of fresh fruit is too low to
pay for shipping. The red berry soon
clogs the appetite and surfeits the palate

A gentleman living in the western sec
ton of the city yesterday witnessed a
novel spectacle, A pet terrapin in his
garden had dug hole about four inches
deep, into which she had dropped four
eggs, oval in shape and about the size of
a pigeons egg. The terrapin had been
looking about for several days, evidently
to find proper place for the deposit, and
at last selected sunny spot on the west
ern side of the garden and close to high
board fence. There was an interval ofabout
ten minutes between the dropping of each
egg. After depositing them the teTapin
carefully covered them with the earth
which she had patiently dug out with her
hind feet. A trowel in the hands Of a
skillful workman could not have made the
Job more complete. This accomplished,
she travelled away to other parts Of the
garden. The owner Of this prospective
family designs watching carefully the APP
pearance of the progeny, and as matter
