Wee will iht corruption mm! plundering tot radical officials cease 7 It bat just been aserrtaiucd mt the Treasury clcpaitsuerit mt "Washington that T. A. MardeD mr.d Seth Johnson, connected with the cah room cf the Treabury, have stolen from the govern ment over $50,000 within the Ia6t two years. Theft mod dishonesty in the different depart ments hare berome of almost dailj occur rence, and when taken in connection with 'he almost numberless defalcations in neariy every other branch of the government, prove that the present administration is the most corrupt and debauched that has ever held eway in ths country. At last Grant has yielded to the demancTs of public opiotou and in his message has re commended the removal cf all political disa bilities imposed on the people of the south Lj the foutteeuth amendment. The recom ruondation should have been for m general and complete bill c f amnesty, as advocated by Greeley, Schurz, and other prominent re. publicans. We wi.l le very much disap pointed if the radical maprity in Congress accedes to the recommendation. Wo do not believe that that body is capable of rising to th plain requirements of the occasion and pasting even so imperfect a measure as the one suggested iu the message. The spirit cf radical hatred against tho southern peoplo in yet loo violent for any such exhibition cf kindly fuelirg and fraternal regard. The enactment of ku-k!ux laws and the author ising a declaration of martial law by ths l'reaident are far more congenial to its tastes than the pafsago of an act of general am nesty and the establishment thereby of a more perfect feeling of friendship aud good will betweeu tho two sections. The Grand Jury selected to pass upon the indictments preforred agaii.st the ku-klui prisoners, now being; tried Leforo the United latf Court at Columbus, South Carolina, ousists of thirteen negrors and eight white men, and the Petit Jury of thirty -two negroes and twenty while men. It is very evident from this whole arrangement that the Mar shal of the United States who selected these j iriss did so with a view to make tjie con viction of the defendants a pretty sure thing. To say that these negroes, none of whom can perhaps either read or write, and who were never iaside of a court bouse, unless as de fendants iu some petty criminal cases, are the proper persons to sit in judgment ou is sues so important Is simply absurd. Iu olo f the caesa that cf a man named Mitchell the j.iry consisted cf tvro white men aud ten negroes. It is a perfect mockery to ex pect an impartial verdict from a jury like tuts, rem posed of more than three fourths of iuoraift ntjrocs, who have been taught by earpet-bsg p !iticiau to hato the white peo p'e of the south and made to believe that they are their worst enemies. Wiil such 1 j J:cil proceedings its these proJuce auy but the woret possible results? It is idle aud against lumiau nature to expect otherwise. Is the State Senate of Georgia, which is largely democratic, a proposition was sub mitted a short time ago by a radical mem ber of that body, '.tamed Burton, requiring the State to reimburse the former owuers for the loss of their slaves. Tho democratic ma ority uot only promptly voted dowu the project, but passed a resolution declaring it to be unwise and ralschievcua. The propo sition was wild and visionary, and tho drm ocratiu members, even if tl.ey had approved of it, had too much magnanimity and too rnuc'u honesty to seek iadrmuity for the for rser owners of slave property by compelling i he poor people of the State to contribute to ths fund by increasing their already oppres sive taxstuu. If this movement bad prc cesded from a democratic sjurce, what a howl cf indignation would have ticn uttered by the ZaJpresa of the country ! It would have been proclaimed as conclusive evidence f ruk disloyalty an attempt to ignare the reau'ts of the wsr ami a sufficient csuss for the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. Although the Legislature of Georgia, or any elher Southern State, would have the clear sad undoubted light to enact such a law, we venture to say that the same proposition would meet with the stern opposition of the conservative members ia every Southeru Legislature. Ir will be recollected fLat at the coua raenceiueht of ths last session of Cougress, Mr. Susnner, very much to the surprise of fue whole couuiry, was removed by a caucus of the radical members of the Senate, acting at the instance and under tbo dictation of Grant himself, from the chairmanship of tho Committee ou Fore'gn Helalioas, & position be had held sinco the first year of Mr. Lin coln's administration. Mr. Sumner's place on the committee, which ia regarded as the j rr.ost responsible as well as honorable iu the Suate, and requiiiog a high order of intel lect, besides air intimate acquaintance with tho history and diplomacy cf foreign govern ments, was liven to Simon Cameron, who. by cjmtnn consent, does not possess a single qualification fjr an intelligent discharge of the duties of the position. Sumner incurred the mortal antipathy of Grant because he would net sanction, but openly denounced on the tlxircf the Senate, the corrupt San Djtningo. annexation scheme. For doing so be was politically ostracised, and Cameron, who is always ready to put through a swin dle, like that of the Sin Domingo affair, waa elevated to bis place. It was supposed teat et the organization of the Sooate committees ft the present session Mr. Sumner mcvJi 1 be leiaetm-led in his old position, and especially was it looked f r m view of Camenm'a con ceded unLLtuess .r the post. But Grant has net forgotten the vigorous and effective blows inOicled by Sumner on hi favorite project, and very decidedly intimated that unlesa the Massachusetts Senator would consent to wr the Executive collar he most continue to occupy a subordinate position. This Mr. BJoxaer indignantly refused to- do. and the reiatti.ijS of this government with Joreign. na tions are again entrusted to the iaczsi Detect fait?jriarot of -"iravrt Cmmtruc. The President's cuESsags is remarkable for its absence of e.Ii allusion to the San Dorrda Zj project. Neither the island itre'f cor Iiaz, its "chicken thief President," as Ben Wade irreverently styled bitn, are compli mented with even m passing notice. One year ago the prompt and speedy acquisition of that country was the pet project of the President; and so rapidly had the plunder ing scheme made headway, that Congress, at the ezrnest solicitation cf Grant himself, empowered the President to appoint three commissioners to proceed to the iiUr.d in a United States vessel with m numerous retinue of scientific gentlsmeu, to examine into the resources of the country, its productions, soil, and climate, its debt, and tie feeling of the people ou the question of annexation. The commissioners made m volumiucus re port of the results of their mission, which was pubibhed by order of Congress, and then the full blown bubble burst, and San Dumin go and her black ruler. (Baez ) after having occupied m large space in public attention, ceased to be talked abcut. The Presidential experiment was rather costly, for besides the sum of 4160,000 paid to BaiZ by Grant out of the secret service fund for one year's rent for a coaling station, the expense of tending j a vessel there, the salaries of the commis sioners aud their attendants, were no trifling: affairs. Grant's whole proceeding in this business was illegal and without the color of authority , and if the same reckless and Ulricas course had been pursued by Acdrew Johnson he would have been impeached on the spot aud driven in disgrace frota the executive effice. Only yesterday and this San Domingo jjb appeared as though it might stand against the world, but to-day there are noco so poor as to do it leverence. It is a ridiculous and sorry ending cf what wag heralded at the outset as a far-seeing and magnificent stroke of public policy. Bat such are the ways of this model admin istration. Cue Presidential Term. The New York Fj'irit of the Times is the chronicler of "the tuif, field sports, end the stage," and congeniality of tastes and senti ment made its proprietor the bosom friond of General Grant. But Mr. Wilkes re ems to have entered very heartily into the plans of those Republicans who oppose a renomi cation or re election of the present incum bent of the Presidential office. Iu ths course of au able article, the Times makes the fjl lowing good suggestions: "A very great interest seems to le felt, In all parts of the country, to know what mea sures will be adopted, and what line of march pursued, by those leading Republicans who are opposed to the administration cf Gcueral Grant, to ptevtnt the oitgraco and the ea Uaiity of bis re-eltctiou to the Presidency of i the United SlaUs. That such au effort will j be made, and earnestly made, in behalf of the hontst and patriotic portion of the Re publican party, in opposition to the slaves and sycophants i f the PiObidtntial fortunes, has been liually determined.

Court j jurnals irr the interests of thur-e parasites, as malcontents, 7 are very well known t the country, and, without regaid to their political opinions, enjoy the honor of a general confidence). "Wa need not, at this point, pause to da velop tho reasons why this course of action has Leon decided upon by the patriotic por tion of a great ami victorious part-. K is sufficient that they regard Genera' Grant as an ignorant and incompetent man, governed by gro6 instincts. didainful of the law, using his high office as if it were a peis'mal posset-siou, and inspired by aspirations which are tepi esented rather by the sword than by the obligations of the oath under which he took l.is office ; in short, a mere adventurer, who, soldier-like, ordy embraced the Repub lican f:th because ho saw success within its ranks. The editor cf this paper desires to ray for himself, that while ho shares the general motives which actuate tho other Republi cans alluded to in the premises, he feels that he baa a special justification iu resisting the candidacy of Geneial Grant fvr a stcond term of office. This justification may be fiuud iu the facts first, that the editor of this papar has been for many years an ear nest advocate of au amendment to the Con stitution, irohibiiing any person from hold in; the Presidential i ffice for more than m single term ; and next, because Gen. Grant, in a convereation with him, two days bsfore his nomination at Chicago, pledged himself formally to the samtj principle, by declaring it to be his coavictbn 'that the liberties t f this couutry could uot be maintained without a One-Term Amendment to the Constitution, and such a Civil Service bill as would enable the President to retain pool men in ofiice.T This wr paid to the writer during ouo of those interviews, through which he had re stored fiiendly ttlations between Gen. Grant and Gen. Butler, and was printed shortly afterward in the Spirit f the Times, and re printed during Lis friendly personal inter course with General Grant, without objection ou his part, or cavil on the part of any of his friends. This declaration by General Grant, printed at such a time, in m jjurnal of which he was noturiously a faithful read er, may be fairly taken as a deliberate prem ise, that ha wou d not asp-ire to the honors of a second Urui ; cay, that he wcu-ld hold it to Le criminal to do so ; and may be re garded, also, as a solemn pledge to the wlrole country to the same effect. In organiz'og a political opposition, therefore, to General Graut's candidacy fur m sccoud term, we naturally direct ourselves to the fj:st salient ground of opposition, to wit : to demand that General Grant shall keep Li word not only because a niau ought always to keep his word, but becaiiKe. in this instance, it is ne cessary to the liberties of Lis country that he should do so. o O 0 o c 'It is one thing, for a party entering wpon a crusade, euca as it is necessary to direct against the mighty power which surrouuds the Wbite House- aud its banded legioi.e cf euperservicpable felaves. to urge general priori-pie with- the pen, and quite another thing to. pr.t them in practical and campaigning force, so as to animate and engineer a cause. The first work had been done, ma we have seen, by Washington and Jackson, mnd eap rorted by mmny wiiters, amonc whom the editor of this paper Las probably teen, for j the last ten jeaxs. the most conspicuous. It was the lstter's fortune, however, while re flecting on this prob'em, duriug Lis recent sojourn in Parte, to hit upon a method of ef fecting the organization of a campaign upon this principle, by g'viog it a cutting tdpe vl drirlpg font.

Metropolitan lifeia m fceriea of kalcdeiscopic changes ; of scenes that are never reproduced. You wonder where all these people come from, how they live, and into what recesses they suddenly melt and disappear at night. Take the ex periance of one day. If you are an early ruer, you will find the town almost as quitt as a country village, TheJhurrying market wagons are perhaps the only prelude to the chorus of the opening day. By and by, the I mechanics and porters come straggling alone I j "like angel's visits, few and far between." A stray omnibus Leaves iu fight, rumbliug heavily ou the silent street with its first load; policemen stretch wearily and welcome the companionship of the accumulating throng; stores begin to lift their iron eye lids, and look sleepily on the boys whose busiuers it is to wash down their glass faces and make their toilettes for a first class Broadway es tablishment you must know, goes into full dress as regularly as a first-class belle.

Up town, the people are scarcely awake, and the smoke curling lazily from the chimneys are only the pro monitory symptoms of breakfast. Iu the more fashionable precints tho majority have but recently gone to bed, and you are uot likely to t-te their fscen again until the after- noon, when they will, probably, be peeping at you with swollen eyea from Club-houiio : windows and restaurants. j Nixe O'clock.! The human tide is flow I iog fast and full merchants, bankers, pro- fessional men, well-to-do clerks, all swelling i the stream that now runs down Broadway, j almost uninterruptedly for two hours.

You are air.cag the shoppers. ; There are two hundred thousand ladies ou the streets and iu the stores, speeding the I money that the other crowd, who have dis I appeared behind yondtr walls, are wcrkirg j to make. You begin to recogu'ze some of the ' Broadway Statues" of both sexes; the ; people who make the fashions and who fol- low thera ; the old roues, with pockets full 1 of pawn tickets, aud bills for their last , month's board; the ycung women cf no par ; ticular reputation, who lead the "stylos," like so many telf constituted perambulating ; light houses in a llg of faucy goods ; and ! the old women who ehaperone society, feed the lions of the town, and, except their face.. ! which are enamelled, are put together and ; taken apart, mcrning and night, to the end ; that they may enact a daily lie, deceive the . world, and possibly cheat the undertaker.

Foes O'clock f The tide begins Co tern h?eward. The multitude wear a tired and hungry expression. Wives aud sweethearts have come partly down town to enjoy a walk with their husbands and lovers, and the pace at which the masses move illustrates the consideration that is beafowed on that j portion ef our personal corporcaity covered j by the last two buttons on a m&n s waitt coat.

The weather is so cold that his hands aud face are purple, but the mufllsd crowd hury on. That man is either an apotheosis of the worst form of poverty, or a first class impostor. There are poor women Eittlng at their lit tle stands selling newspapers. If they eke nut fifty ceuta a day, it is ths most they ex pect. Your organ grinder has a little four year old child with him, who reminds you of Iteu Hiding Hood, and she trembles in the cold, while her pleading eyes invite you to "drop only a penny, sir," iuto the tin cop.
