CARLISLE, PA., Tbnraday Morning:, Ifovcmbcr 20, 18GR. GEN. GRANT’S RETICENCE. The Radical Jacobins are beginning to feel uneasy at Gen. Grant’s continued reticence. Previous to his election they -wore well satisfied that ho should have no policy” and remain perfectly quiet on all public questions. Now, however, they desire, nay demand, that he should open his mouth and say something of an encouraging nature to his Radical friends. Their efforts-to capture him and compel him to avow a “ policy,” have been persistent and untiring.— On his return to the Capital, a few days after the election, the Radicals, black and white, tendered him a grand recep tion and dinner, hoping by this means to force him to say something in, reply to a complimentary toast. But the General was not to he caught. lie de clined the proffered entertainment. A few days inter another effort was made by “ acommitteeof distinguished white Republicans” to induce the obstinate U. S. to accoptan invitation to dine with a “select company of his political friends.” This invitation was also de clined, and rather bluntly at that.. Be ing goaded and annoyed almost to death at Washington, Gen. Grant made up his mind that he would no longer reman in a city where he could not have “ peace.” He therefore, in a very quiet w T ay, took the cars one evening for West Point, by way of New York.— But the Loyal Leaguers (“loyalthieves”) of New York got wind of his coining, and at once got up a magnificent enter-, taimnent for him, at a cost of several thousand dollars. “Purely he will not refuse the request of the great Loyal League of New York,” said these loyal patriots. On Ins arrival in the city Gen. Grunt was waited on by a com mittee composed of the elite of the Radi cal party, who informed him of what had been done, and asked him to desig nate the hour that would suit him to meet his friends at the rooms of the Loyal League. The General replied that he could not and would not accept the invitation, and that ho desired “ to be let alone.” Instead of attending at the Loyal League rooms, he accepted an invitation to visitthe trotting course, in company with Mr. Bonner, “ to j-co Dexter trot.” ■lt appears that Gen. Grant thinks more of fast horses than he does of designing politicians. “Straws show which way the wind blows,” says the old adage. Gen. Grant, it is quite certain, has made up his mind not to permit designing demagogues t< annoy him. His u policy,” If he has one he keeps to himself, and at the prope: time he will reveal it. Wc believe tha Gen. Grant, when he accepted tin-com nmnd of our armies, was actuated hj - patriotic motives. Like the gloriom M’Clellun, he desired to see the rehell ion crushed and the Union restored.— He was not a politician, never having voted but once and then he voted the Democratic ticket. He never, by word or deed, committed himself to Radical ideas ; on the contrary it is well known that he agreed with President Johnson on the subject of reconstruction. Let Gen. Grant then pursue the even tenor of his way, regardless i f the threats ol political gamblers, and he may be the means of restoring our country to peace and prosperity. MAS Till: I.ATK Ki,WT|o.f I.CUAI. A letter written by Chief Jindie Chase is published in the New Vorl papers, directed to Hun. H. \V. 11 iI Hard, in it Mr. Chase says ‘•Tlu* seceding Stall", have never I»«-<-<> ol than Stales within the* I'nluii since they beet parlies to the federal government, and that failure to maintain their assertions < I Indep ilenee In the *OOlllllOl of units whieh 101 l k-fi them suites still in the Union, Tiiis is Jaw as well as good sense in a nut-shell. The position of the Chief Justice cannot he controverted, and will be endorsed by every well-read lawyer in the country. Such being the case, we a&k —was the late Presidential elec tion a legal election? Three -tates, (Virginia, Mississippi and Texas,) were not permitted to hold elections. The people of another Slate (Florida,) were disfranchised, and the choice of Kl< dors usurped hya black-and-tan Legislature. In ten other states must of the white voters were ruled out and not permit- ted to vote. The negroes were enfn closed and the white men of the South ern States disfranchised by an ad of a Hump Congress I Had the white freemen of America been permitted to vote, Grant would have been defeated and Seymour elected. The .Radical Jacobins have captured the Govermnen t and power by an act of Congress, and in defiance of the will of the people. We repeat the question, then—was the last eleetion legaP? According to Judge Chose it was not. The Radicals have usurped the Government; t l, eir acts were revolutionary; and if we' could persuade all Democrats in our wide country to think as we do, this usurpa tion, this high-handed scoundrelisrn, would he resisted to tho bitter end. If we are to live under a despotism, give us at least a decent one, with great men at its head, who have some respect for the rights of the majority. The late election was a farce; nay worse 1 than a farce, it was an outrage, unconstitution al, unlawful, revolutionary. Governor Geary lias issued his proclamation declaring the names of persons-elected to Congress in the dif ferent districts of the State. His excel lency announces that the returns irom the Twenty-first district are so conflict ing that he does not feel authorized to issue a certificate of election either to General Foster or Covodo. He refers the whole matter to Congress, which, in so many words means, that General Foster will never be permitted to take his seat, though undoubtedly elected. * A scarecrow has been Invented at Slabvjlle, down East of so hideous u character that Hie crows In the neighborhood an* busily engaged in bringing buck tho corn they stole hist summer.” —Esi'hunye, ( mild a similar invention, applicable to human depredators, be stuck up at Washington, the whiskey thieves, ar my contractors, shoddy Jobbers, and general plunderers, would at once bring hack enough to pay off the national debt with a large surplus in the treasu ry for distribution among the States. Not Comforting.—The New York Tribune, In a iafe article, not only ob jects to the, repeal of the Tenure-of-oili ce law, but wants Congress to arnpnd anil perfect it—that is, to make it more difficult still for the. President to remove from office. TENNESSEE—IIENHICKT, That the reconstruction measures of the Rump Congress are calculated, if not intended, to create strife, bad blood, and general disorder, is evident to eve ry man who will open his eyes. Let us, as an illustration, point to the .Slate,- of Tennessee and Kentucky. The former is a pet State of Radicalism—it has been “ reconstructed” most effectnn’ly. Us Governor is that man of infamy, that son of tlie devil, Brownlow. He is a high priest in tho Radical synagogue, ignorant, brutal, and as blood-thirsty as a Bengal tiger. All tho departments of tho State Government are in the keep- ing of his creatures, many of them Nor thern carpet-baggers; the Legislature is Radical, (blaek-and-tan ;) nearly every town is Radical; tho courts are presided over by scallawags called Judges, all of them intensely Radical; the State mili tia—twenty thousand strong—is com posed of vagabond negroes; the officers of the various counties are Radicals, many of them negroes; the police force of tho cities and towns are white and ick Radicals. One hundred and fif- teen thousand white men (the brains and character of the State,) arc disfranchised, and ignorant negroes do the voting! “ Reconstruction” then, in its most odi ous sense, in its most stringent require ments, is enforced by the bayonet in this once great and proud Stale. Every thing is Radical in Tennessee. Well, what of Tennessee?—what is the stale of society in this Radical para dise ? Chaos and confusion everywhere. White men, and also decent negroes are fleeing from the Stale ; murders, robbe ries and arson are of daily and hourly occurrence. Brownlow’s militia—black fiends, with previous pardons in their pockets—are committing crimes too re volting to bo named in the columns of a i c\v<p»per. The Slate Treasury is emp- ty ; the .State debt s.x times greater than it was three years ago; ami the State securities are quoted in our Eastern cit ies at less than sixty cents on the dol lar! Brownlow appeal’s to enjoy the wide-spread ruin ; his black tax-collec tors, flanked by grinning negroes with muskets in their hands, perambulate the several countie- constantly, deman ding the last cow, the hint pig from tlm poor white man, that they may be con- verted into money for the henolil of the black soldiery. Anarchy an I confusion reigns ; the State is ruined ; no man or woman, black or white, is safe an hour in Tennessee. In that doomed State Senator Chandler’s expressed hope is more than realized—“ hell upon earth” can be scon in Tennessee; aye, and the imp or puny devil, Brownlow, can be seen too, as he sits in the Executive chair, enjoying the wide-spread dr-ola tion and heart-rending anguish. Crant has 20,n0n majority in Tennessee', and the wretch Brownlow has been elected (by his negro Legislature) a Senator of the United States ! Such is-Temn’.vee. Cod help her! Now for another pict ..re. Look at the Stale of Kentucky, lying cln.-c by Ten- ncs.-ec. Like Tcnm-Mv -.he is a South ern Stale, inhabited by the same kind of people.

Be sides this, it is “ necessary” to the life of the Radical party in the South, for without the Bureau to manipulate and control tho negroes, that party would nol have an existence in that section.— Very likely it is "neccesa-j/fa- the. wel fare of the ne//>\,ee," for it clothes, feeds, and educates them at the expense of the tax-payers in the North. From tho price it costs, it ought to prove very greatly to their welfare. IVc hope the people of the North will be satisfied with this state of things, for it is their work. The Bureau, which costs seve ral millions a year, is to he continued for four years longer, for that point was gained by the' election of Grant. It may be that the tax-payers, after a while, will begin to squnll, as the mon ey is drawn from their pockets to sup port negroes, hut wo hope they will hear it with- becoming resignation, for they voted for tho Bureau and taxation.

This is the “ peace” they were promised. In Louisiana, at the late election, the great mass of negroes voted against Grant and Colfax. They have got it in to their heads that the Radical party is made up of Ben Butlers, and Bon, they say, would steal their last johnny cake. They are not far wrong. Radical capitalists and manufactur ers have taken advantage of their suc cess at the polls, by reducing the wages of labor and advancing the prices of merchandise and the necessaries of life. ANDREW JOHNSON. The Press has tho grace to vindicate, tardily, the memory of John Tyler, from, wo suppose, some of its own as persions. Wo never looked upon him as other than a man earnestly sincere and patriotic in his intentions; his last public appearance was in tho Peace Congress, which lie strove to make cf loetive, while Chandler and Wilmot and the re-1 of tire Radicals conspired to frustrate its purpose. In the words of Chandler, they wanted “ a little blood shed,” and they caused a great deal.— But in vindicating Mr. Tyler, it was not necessary for the Press to asperse Mr. Johnson. In truth, all it says of Mr. Tyler’s well-known political sentiments to which ho only adhered, which was the very opposite of treachery, applies with oven more force to Mr. Johnson. He, 100, was a Democrat, and for that very reason ho was nominated for the Vice-Presidency in 180-1. Wo charge tho Press that it then advocated Mr. Johnson’s nomination on tho very ground that it would conciliate and at tract Democratic voters. His political sentiments had not been hid under a bushel. It was ho who, as a Democrat ic Senator, offered the celebrated resolu tions which Crittenden simultaneously offered in the House. They are com monly called “ tho Crittenden Resolu tions.” Nearly every Republican, and every Democrat, voted for them. They, indeed, thenceforth formed the Demo cratic platform as to the objects and don duct of the war. Secession was denounc ed so emphatically as to leave no loop hole for doubt on that point. The pas sage of these-resolutionsinstantly drove three members of that Congress from it, and from their old affiliation with the Northern ‘ Democracy. Breckinridge, Burnett, and Reid, voted again-’ t!,o Johnson-Criltendcn resolution-, and then wont otfto the South. Again and again those principles were reiterated by the Democratic party, it was to conciliate them, as we have said, (hat one of theauthors of Iho resolutions was put on the Hepuhlican ticket. We will not fight Mr. Johnson’s battles o’er again. In many things ho did concili ate Democratic opinion—and then the /Vm began to abuse him ! We are not his eulogists: but now, in the expiring hours of his term, when he has few to do him reverence, we will not silently hear him slandered. His veto messa ges, at which the Radicals mocked, will live to be their condemnation. They will stand as the great landmarks of constitutional law and liberty when the lack flood of Radicalism shall subside, Of the persona! purity and patriotism of Mr. Johnson there will remain this great incontestable proof. Radicalism, like Satan, showed him the kingdom of this world, and all its pomp and power, and said: “All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” He refused. lie could not take the despotic poworslhey press ed upon him. He would not sell his post, as the sworn defender of the Con stitution ; for he had taken the oath: “ I dosolcmnly swear that I will faith fully execute the ollice of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and de- fend the Constitution of the United States.” His successor, we suppose r will take this oath, unless Congress, in De cember, dispense with it. May he keep it as well as Andrew Johnson did.-/1//e. Jenkins is about and kept busy in reporting tho whereabouts and doings of General Grant.

The General and Mrs. Grant desired to do some shopping; one up, ’tother down Broadway; one to Stewart’s to buy a web of merino for the girls, the other to Devlin’s to rig out the hoys; then a cocktail with Bonner, a drive in the Central Park, admired some dogs, then another cocktail, and then—Jinkins rushes oil' to the of the Associated Press, ami the country must sutler naas ea at breakfast wherever a Republican paper is admitted within doors. Sparc us from such stuff. No Change of Front.—As the De mocracy refused to change front in tho midst of the late battle, so now they will nol break ranks and fall into con fusion after their discipline has been so severely tried, and they have proven themselves as steady under fire and as true to their standard as the Old Guard at Waterloo. The Demociatic party never occupied so prouda position as to day. In point of discipline and morale it never stood better. And as to its , principles, there is nothing to take back, nothing to change, except to take high er and more advanced ground in the same lino we were pursuing. Silver Deposits.—A letter dated San Francisco, Nov. 20, says rich dis coveries of silver deposit are daily made in the White Pine region of the State of Nevada, and notwithstandiiig tho near approach of Winter, there is a great rush of people to that region. The richness of tho silver is incredible. Many San Francisco capitalists are investing large sums in the White Pino district. Moke E akthqdakes . Another heavy shock of earthquake was felt at Millertown, California, on "the sth inst. A slight shock was also experienced at Austin, Nevada, on the 7th. The erup tions and repeated shocks of the past" few months would seem to betoken some great internal convulsion of our planet. Tub Philadelphia Rads are already at work maturing a plan to secure the passage of metropolitan police bill, so as to take out of Mayor Fox’s hand the power to appoint policemen. Small business—but it just suits that family of politicians. The Morning Post says, as one of the results of the election, that: " Impartial suffrage will triumph in every State." Negro suffrage is to be forced on Penn sylvania, as it has been on the South, at the point of the bayonet. The Vice-President elect, Mr. Colfa'x with his bride, arrived at Washington a few days since. Mrs. C. was a Miss Wade, niece of old Ben’s, and is repre sented as young, blooming, and rich.

The following incidents connected with the partial destruction, by fire, of Forepaugh’s 'Menagerie in Philadelphia on Saturday evening wo take from the Ledger of that city : Mr. Adam Forepaugh, the proprietor of the Circus and Menagerie recently ex hibiting in this city, owned a three-story brick building at Iso. 2108 Bulge avenue, a short distance above the mill. In this building, lions, tigers, monkeys, and other animals were kept in cages or box es which had been constructed for tempo rary use. Fortunately, Mr. Forepaugh was at his dwelling, immediately oppo site, when the lire was first discovered, and he at once commenced tumbling the cages or boxes from the building into the street, while those outside removed them from the vicinity of the lire. While thus engaged, a Bengal and a Brazilian tiger made their escape; the former made hia way to Mr. Bryan’s stables, in the vicini ty, the crowd on the street giving way with great promptness, where he was se cured ; the Brazilian tiger ran along Jef ferson street, until he reached the house of l)r. Gebler, near twenty-second street; here several ladies were standing at the door, but the tiger passed by them and through the hall into the kitchen, where he remained until recaptured by one of Mr. Forepaugh’s men. The box contain ing the lion was so much damaged (hat it was with great dilliuulty that the animal Could be kept until another box was ob tained and the iron secured. The excite ment at this time was very great, as a rumor spread through the crowd that the Hon had made his escape and was rushing furiously down the street. A large white Florida wolf got out. of a box, and made his way through the crowd without attracting much attention, ami about nine o’clock in the evening he was met by a gentleman at Nineteenth and (Jallowhill streets.

The gentleman, not feeling disposed to use force to re move the intruder, opened the parlor door and the wolf passed in ; the door was closed, and the animal was allowed to pass the night upon the soft Brussels. Word was sent to Mr. Forepaugh early yesterday morning and the wolf was ta ken away. All the other animals were kept secure in their boxes and removed to a building in the rear of Mr. Fore paugh’s residence. The travelling cages, wagons, &c., wore under shedding in the rear of 2108 and between the saw mills, ami these eleven cages, fifteen baggage and other wagons, a new buggy, pay wagon, canvass, seats, 122 sets of harness, wardrobe, saddles, banners, &c., were en tirely destroyed' involving a loss of $40,- OOl), upon which there was no insurance.

Each man has been an enthusiastic Grant man from the word go, and each one has a request to prefer. The General treats all courte ously, listens with all possible patience, but gives none any reason for believin that they will be successful. To-day he gonteely snubbed Mayor Bowen and the officers of the Republi can Associations, who wished to get up a “ demonstration” to show their own po sition on the inside track for office. But General Grant did not choose to be made a pedestal for them to exhibit themselves upon, and he plainly told them so.

' The deceased was the sole sur viving sen of Mayer Anselm Rothschild, the 1 founder of the dynasty which has now for sixty years exercised an import ant iniluence, and for half a century rul ed with all but absolute sway, iu the money markets of the world. The histo ry of the bouses is probably well known to most of our readers. Mayer Anselm, I, Tu al Knuikfori, in IT-l.'i. educated fora ] l* ibid, dot for sometime employed ill a Hanoverian banking bouse, and after ward settled in Frankfort, where bo be came banker for the Fleeter ol first became known as a negotiator of loans in 1702, when be raised the fun ds to ransom Ills native city from threatened sack of the French army.

The elder Rothschild died in Frankfort, 1812. He left five sons. Thu oldest/An seitn, wlio was born in 1783, and died in 1835, was ills father's partner and succes sor, but associated with him. his broth ers,, each of whom was established in one of the European capitals. Solomon, born in 1704, took charge of the Inisinoss in Vienna, and also died in 1855. Na than Mayer, horn in 1777, settled in, Lon don in 1708, and was generally csleemed tho ablest financier of the family. He\ died in 18315, and bis son, Baron Nathan Rothschild, succeeded him, and lias tor many years been the leading active part ner of the bouse. Charles, born in 1788, the lourth non »t Mayor Anselm, settled in Naples and died in 1855. His successor was recog nized us u partner in the linn until two or three years ago, when, at a family council, it was decided that the Neapo litan should cease to hold an active in terest iu the afliiira of the bous-e. James, now deceased, the youngest son of the founder, was born May 5, 17i)J, establish ed* himself in Paris, and inis been, since 1855, tho senior member. The live broth ers, while they Jived, constituted a single firm, and-members of their .families, of the second ami third generations, were from time to time admitted into the him, in which there have been no other changes except by death, save only in the case of Charles, of Naples, whose withdrawal was mentioned above. The business of the house has been for many years mainly conlined to transactions in government loans. One of these in 1813 won for the live brothers baronial titles from the Emperor of Austria. As an il lustration of the magnitude of their bus iness, it is stated that in a period of twelve years, they negotiated loans to . t heamountofs4ol,ooo,o()Uua follows: Eng land, $300,000,000 ; Austria, $50,«00,000; Prussia, §40,000,000; France, 80,000,000; Naples,' §50,000,000; Pusaia, $25,000,000 ;’ Brazil,§lo,ooo,ooo ; and to other States, s4,- 800,000. The Supreme influence of the house in mailers of finance has been unquestion ed, and its members have associated tm almost equal terms with the sovereigns of the great nations of Europe. -They have followed royal examples, too, in their alliances, having made so general a rule to intermarry within their own circle, that it was recently mentioned as a remarkable fact that a cadet of the house condesended to a marriage with some scion of the French nobilty. Terrible Scene at n Scaffold, A terrible scene recently took place at Tam bow, in Russia. Young Gorski, a pupil at the high school of Unit place, and eighteen years of age, was to be exe cuted for having murdered a family of seven persons. The young criminal was conveyed to the place of execution on a wagon, and was escorted by a company of dragoons. The gallows was surroun ,ded by ten thousand persons. After the doomed lad had alighted from the wag on, thesentonce of death was read to him. He was deadly pale, and hunted before the warrant was read through. The exe cutioner then branded him, after he had been restored to consciousness; the hoy struggled violently and uttered heart rending screams when the red hot iron was applied to his lo'ehead. He was then whipped, receiving about thirty lashes. The executioner thereupon un dressed him and wrapptaJ him in a long while blanket, tied his feet together, at tached the rope to his neck ami drew the blanket over his head. Ho then lifted him on top of a step ladder, and was about to push him from it, when the Sec retary of the Criminal Court slopped for ward, ami told the executioner to stop.— The excitement ol the crowd had reached the highest pitch' by this time, and it seemed as if all ten thousand persons around the gallows were holding their breath. The executioner lifted the lad from the step ladder, removed the blan ket from his face, which was livid and distorted with fear; and then the .Secre tary read to him a letter from the rapo rt)!’changing his sentence to hard labor for life. The executioner then untied his leet, gave him thirty more lashes— the sentence having read that he should receive sixty lashes-and then clad him in the convict dress and chained his legs.

It was doubt | less for this purpose that wo have been compelled to wait tho Secretary's pleas ure in this matter. It occurs to ua that promptness on tho part of tho Secretary, from the very nature of tho controversy, was what wo and the public bad a right to expect. If ho was conscious of being in tho right, there need have been no delay. The Jlcrold of last week announces that “Tho Secretary of oar Agricultural Society requests us to state that all tho books and papers of said society over which he has any control are at tho dis posal of Messrs. Bratton and Ponrose.” This pettyfogging trick of tho latoaspirant for Senatorial honoris is too transparent, to escape detection. What wo demanded was that “ he (the Secretary) place an ex- hibit of his affairs before two gentlemen, one to be. named by himself and tho oth er by us.” After a delay of four weeks, ho replies that “ the books and papers of tho Society” are at our disposal. The very nature of the charges, and tho ease with which the books and papers at tho disposal of the Secretary may bo made few or many, satisfactory or unsatisfacto ry, as best suits his purposes, almost pre clude tho idea of now arriving at any true result. But tho Secretary has fre quently boasted that he has tho entire trouble and burden of the management of the Society, and ho doubtless has tho control of all its bobks and papers.— Let him, even at this late date, in accord ance with our previous demand, give a full exhibitor tho receipts and expenses of the last agricultural fair, with the items of expenditure not generalized as •“ sundries,” or “ labor,” or “ police,” but itemized, so that it may bo shown exactly where the proceeds went and for what. Until such an exhibit of his affairs as Secretary is submitted, wo shall be at liberty to conclude that tho Secretary lias backed cut of what he so boldly asserted at the outstart as ignominiously as he backed out of the general discussion, when the facts adduced had so thorough ly exj osed his contemptible duplicity. Winter Has Come.-Tho Chicago Times thus discourses on the weather.— Winter has coi.ne. A leaden sky frowns upon humanity; the frost-king kisses ns with his stinging lips, and the air is redo lent of dancing snow-llakcs. Balmy In dian summer gave us a las.t vist on Thursday, arousing choice memories, and draping existence in a halo of poetic impulses. Yesterday was ono to arouse the keenest appreciation of the robust northern element of onr population, and carry glaum and discomfort tc* those from southern climes. The charms of nature are for the season wrapped in. their wind ing sheet; the sail on the Juke awoke sympathy, instead df evoking admira tion, and the prarie stands forth the em bodiment of desolation. The charms of tile winter season, in our northern latitudes, will speedily manifest themselves. Our out-door en joyments arc doubly productive of health and happiness; families long separated gather inside the old homestead, and their members inspire each other with new life, while the cold months cover the yearly era of marrying aud giving in marriage. Thus do all the seasons give us their complement of joy with their chalice of gloom; thus does a merciful Providence preserve the equilibrium be tween feeble humanity and unyielding nature. Baun Buiixed—On Wednesday after noon last, the barn of Mr. Samuel Gris singer, three or four miles from town, in North Middleton township, was discover ed to boon flro.Tho barn,together with the crops of hay and grain, was entirely con sumed, though the live stock, gears and agricultural implements wore saved. The building is supposed to have been set on lire by some vagrants who were seen >rowling-around that neighborhood a short time previous. There ought to be some more stringent law enacted, by which thftse prowling miscreants who in fest our county may bo kept away. Our farmers are at their mercy, and though they may treat all who pass that way with uniform kindness, yet are subject to depredation, insult and outrage every day. Thanksgiving. —There are not many of our readers who will forget that Thurs day is Thanksgiving day, and most of them doubtless will have a good time ami enjoy the good things of this life in profusion. Wo trust it may indeeil be to all their hearts a day of real thanksgiving, with a cloudless sky, and many happy home-circles around the paternal hearth stone. It is to be regretted that the-old custom of family reunions, on Thanks giving day, has so grown out of use, and we trust, on the present occasion, to seeit revived with more than ordinary hearti- ness.
