Ilonry Ward Beecher, the celebrated pulpit orator and lladlcal politician— a man who has heretofore always had an excuse ready for the Crimea of Ids party, no matter how flagrant those crimes were —ia beginning to feel squeamish over Radical misrule and ['villainy. Ho paid a visit to that para- Idise of Radicalism, South Carolina, some time since, and on hia return home delivered a discourse or sermon on what be saw with his own eyes.— Wo quote hia own language: “ Most of the members of the Legis lature are colored men ; but few of them can read or write; they are as ignorant as mules, and for a few dol lars, sometimes for a few pennies, can be induced to vote for any bill or meas ure. Many of them are but recently from the cotton and rice fields, and don’t ’even know the name of the county (hey represent, or, rather, mis represent. With but few exceptions the white members are Northern men —carpet-baggers—and a sorry looking set of rascals they are. One member (from New York) has served three terms in Sing Bing, and several others have served one and two terms in jail or the penitentiary in the Now Eng land States. Ido not know on earth a more piliable sight than the picsent condition of South Carolina.” When we remember th it these words are from the Ups of Beecher, they carry with them a force they would not have had they been uttered through demo cratic Ups. Beecher is a high cock*a doodle in the Radical synagogue, and is always ready and willing to slander down any Democrat who may aspire to office. He is an orator by nature, and his keen sarcasm ia always brought into requisition when his party is in-danger. He can be the admirer and eulogist of such men as Greeley, Sumner, Schurz j and Curtin one day, and the next pounce upon them and demand that ■ they be crucified. Beecher is a politi cal demon —cold, selfish, remorseless, i But, callous and vindictive as he is, the things he witnessed in South Carolina filled him with horror. He wps amazed, dumbfounded. There he could see the. workings of his pestiferous party with out hindrance. There he witnessed Radicalism in its purity ; but he was not gratified; the spectacle sickened him, and he hastened homo to say to his people that he did not know on earth a more pitible sight than the present condition of South Carolina.” This, then, is the condition to which a sovereign State —a State of immense resources within itself has been brought by the political crows who constitute the Grant administration.— Had Mr. Lincoln lived—positive as was his affection for his party—he never 'would have permitted this- Rough and uncouth, he was nevertheless 100 much of a man, too much of an Ameri can, to permit a set of ignorant, brutal and corrupt negroes and white jail J birds to appropriate to themselves the revenues of a great rich .State like | South Carolina. No, no, Lincoln would never have consented to vandalism like this. No honest or decent man would consent to it. But Grant, poor miserable bribe receiver that he is, not only permits South Carolina to be de graded, robbed, ruinedi amt misgov erned, but lie encourages the scoun drels, black and white, who are engag ed in the desecration. He evidently enjoys the spectacle, and gloats over the misery of the people of that unhap,- py and doomed State as a tiger gloats over the warm blood of the helpless kid. Ho is at once a tyrant and a sav age in heart and manners—a low-bred unfeeling, man, who cares about noth- ( ing and thinks about 'nothing but hia party, ids purse, his relations, hia horses and his dogs. There is no hope then, for South Carolina. The negroes being largely in the majority, her peo ple are robbed with. impunity by the black and while fiends who have usurped power in the State. Her State «lebt Is enormous and is being increased daily and hourly. Her rail roads have Peon sold to Northern sharpers, and the proceeds of the sales stolen by negroes ami carpet-baggers. The school fund has been gobbled up by the.same men, and the schools closed. John Patterson of Juniata county, this Stale, squats like a toad in the U. S. Senate, calling liimsell “ Urn Senator from South Caro lina,” mill in Urn House of the National congress we see buck negroes capering over the floor like so many uncircura sei.-ud monkeys, receiving $7,500 a year and mileage and stealings, for their in valuable services as Members of Con gress! This is fun for Grant—fun for Beast Ben Buller-but to the man who carries a heart under his jacket it brings shame and humiliation. Certainly the hrutai Ch''miller lias boeu gratified ; ids fondest wish has been realized, for lie Inis witnessed ”a hell upon earth in the Soulii,” and “ the Radical party in power.” Politic-ax, Partnership. -Grunt lius forgiven Mosby anti Mosby lias for given Grant, and together they have b iuied a mutual admiration society and now look upon each other as mod els of perfection. They have linked ihemaelves together in the indissoluble bonds of friendship, stronger than those which once united Johnathan and Da vid. Mosby worked and spoke and voted for Grant last fall, and in return Grunt would have appointed him to of fice if heliad wished it,but notdesiring office for himself because it would not loolf well, and some persona might be so uncharitable.an to say that it was bis price and Ids pay, he virtuously refused it no doubt witii the understandiug that he was ut liberty to name any o f Ids friends, and accordingly, “Presi dent Grant, last week, on the. recomnen dalio ■ of Col. Mosby, appointed Rich ard N. Brook, of Warrentown, Va., as Consul to New Rochelle. Prance." Think of it! Apolitical partnership between the “loyal” General G rant and the “guerilla” Mosby. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad announces that the tunnel which it is building under the city of Baltimore will be finished in tho next two months.

Cnoi-EttA in Vienna.— A telegram to the New York Herald, dated April aays that twenty cases ol sporadic cholera were brought to the hospital yesterday. Five proved fatal. An of fort is being made to conceal the tip pearance of the disease in the city, OBEDIT-MOBILIBB COLFAX. It is now given out that tlio late Vico President, Schuyler Colfax, Is to he a candidate for Congress in the South Bend District. The inltinry steps have already been taken, and at the proper time an active campaign will he com menced. ‘'Notwithstanding, his protes tations to the contrary, Colfax is fond of office and fond of money. i'lie in fluence of Grant’s administration is to he brought into active play in aid of Colfax’s present aspirations, and, not withstanding a'stiff opposition may he waged against him by honest men of his party, we now predict that he will he the Badical-Credit-Mobllier candi dite for Congress in his district. If the influence of Grant is not sufficient to break down all opposition, the Nation al Corruption Fund will bo brought in to requisition,'and then—look out for breakers. Colfax will be nominated. Mark it. The fict that Grant favors the nomi nation of Colfax is not to ho wondered at; it is in keeping with his character. Grant has a liking for rogues, and has made it a point to hasten to tliol. assist ance whenever they get into trouble. Grant takes to corrupt men as naturally as a duck takes to water. With him honor is a stranger, with whom he has no desire to become acquainted. When Tom Murphy, his Collector of Customs at New York, was shown up as one of the greatest thieves Chat ever disgraced humanity—a man who had stolen his millions—didn’t Grant write him a let ter in which lie stated that he (Grant) had the utmost confidence, in him (Tom Murphy?) And when Holden, the fraudulent Governor of North Carolina, had to flee tli6.Stato to save his neck— a scoundrel who had appropriated to himself and the desperadoes who Were his cronies, millions of dollars of the people’s money—did not Grant receive him with open arms at Washington and at once appoint him to an office? And when Brown, the Philadelphia repeater and ballot-box stuffer, was tried, found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary, didn’t Grant pardon him and turn him loose upon society ? Nay, more, did he not at the same lime promptly remove from office the U. S. District Attorney for having dared t<7 ask for the conviction of Brown ? And when Colfax was found guilty not only of having received bribes, but of perjury, how sympathiz ing was Grant? He wrote a letter to Colfax and had if published, in which he -expressed the warmest feeling of friendship for the exposed corruption ist, assuring him that he (Grant) had confidence in him and parted with him as an, officer of the government with regret. Ah, yes, Grant admires scoun drels as he hates honest men. This is a prominent trait in his character, which he has shown on hundreds of occasions. It is not surprising, then, we repeat, th d Grant should feel a lively interest in Colfax, for it is more than suspected he too replenished his purse from the Credit Mobilier corruption fund. Iho very fact that the President shows so much interest and friendship for bribe receivers, thieved add ballot-box staf fers, is evidence that he admires men of this character. JOHN P. NEWMAN, Chaplain of tho Senate of the United States, has been appointed a kind of General Superintendent to go to Eu rope and examine into the condition of our various consuls’ offices, and the manner in which the consuls discharge their duties! This situation has no legal warrant. It is unknown to |he law, but the Reverend gentleman must have his expenses paid to Europe, and so the administration hud to find a place for him. This is not all. His wife must go along, and therefore, she too, must haye her expenses paid and have a place too. Newman gets a sala ry of $5OOO a year, and his wife is his clerk at $2OOO a year, making in all $7OOO. . What the incidentals will bo, the country will know when he gets back to pray for United Stales Sena tors. Suppose any Reverened gentle men in this county hud made applica tion for such a position, vyhat would have been the answer? They would have been laughed to acorn, but the preacher who can play toady to power and write letters of endorsement for such men as Pomeroy, Caldwell and others engaged in giving and securing bribes-, gets his hand into the public [ treasury as easy as a greased rat slips into its hole. But then what do the people care? They are robbed every day by official rascals, and when the election comes, poor souls 1 they go to tho polls and give their votes to keep the thing going on. The Governor has appointed Sena tors Graham, Kutan and J, Depuy Davis commissioners on the part of the State to the Vienna Exposition, under the recent act of Assembly.—A'ai. The above item is, in brief, the result of another scheme to rob the State out of a large amount of money, for the especial benefit of tho three State Sena tors named above. The facts are about as follows; Au act of Assembly was passed authorizing the Governor to ap point commissioners to represent the State at tbe Vienna Exposition. This bill was reported by Mr. Bulan. At tho time it was not contemplated that they should be paid for their servloes- When, however, tho appropriation bill was referred to a Conference Com. mltteo, tho chairman of which was Senator Graham, an appropriation of $B,OOO was inserted tj pay the expenses of the commission. Whilst several worthy charitable institutions had their appropriations reduced or entirely cut off, tills appropriation ot $B,OOO is made to allow the three ex-Monatora-who created the office and its emoluments— to go junketing over Europe at the public expense. It is a smith business for State Senators to engage in, and we much mistake public sentiment if tho people of all parties do not condemn and denounce it. The Governor is a party to this scheme, and is just as much to blamo us tho Senators.

Groat excitement was occasioned -in llnancial circles in Now York on Satur day evening by the announcement that the Atlantic National Bank had sus pended, owing to a ■ heavy defalcation by the cashier, P. L. Taintor. The in stitution had continued business up to three o’clock P. M., and it was not un til after that hour that the suspension was announced. The cashier, It lost $lOO,OOO of tho concern in stock speculations, principally in Pacific Mail THE FACrs OP THE CASK Appear, to be ns follows : Mr. Taintor, about one o’clock in the afternoon, stepped into the office of the Clearing House Examining Committee,, announced that the bank was insolvent, and that he was a defaulter to the amount of $400,000, which he had ta ken from the funds of the concern and lost in stock speculations. Mr. Taopan, president of the com mittee and also president of the Galla tin National Bank, was perfectly as tounded at the revelations of the cash ier, and immediately made prepara tions for an examination ot the bank and its affairs on the part of the Clear ing House Committe, which is author ized to take such course for the protec tion of the banks and the public. Mr. Taintor told Mr. Tappen that he had come to him because he felt more like giving him the information than any one else, and that he wished to aid in whatever investigation might take place. . WHAT TAINTOR SAYS, Taintor, who is about 35 years of age, disclaimed to all newspaper reporters any intention of shirking the responsi bility which he had brought upon him self.' He said the president loft the business almost entirely to him, very seldom interfering at all in any Inins aetioii. Therefore, with a full swing and with a Board of Directors who had no idea what things were worth, he had the bank all to himself. He ven tured money on his own account and made money. Then he tried for the bank, and these speculations also turned out successful. The luck appeared to be with him, and ho thought it would not be long before the credit of the bank, which was notoriously bad, was restored. But a change came. A thousand dollars went out to feed the Wall street speculators ; then another, arid then $lO,OOO. . Some little. success would give him new hope, and then a reverse would dash all to the ground, ho it went on from year to year. Knowing that the directors were to make an examination of the books, and that a thorough investigation would show a frightful state of affairs, aud ap he had already lost over $400,000, more than the entire capital of the bank, he thought he would save them the trou ble by confessing to the clearing committee. .... The committee, having finished their labors, left the building, and Mr, Pur vis, the marshal, arrested Taintor. The latter took the arrest witlp the utmost coolness, and walked up Broadway with the oflicer to the Astor House, where supper was served him. Prom thence he was taken to the Ludlow street jail and locked up. THE INDIANS, Trio Modoo 'War—Nevada Tribes. Virginia. Cm, Nevada, April 24.

Nothing particularly interesting had occurred. Col. Perry, with hla cav alry, had returned from the scout with out being attacked. He is convinced that none of tiie Indians have left the Lava Bed. Donald McKay reports that forty Indians are encamped In big caves four miles southeast of the first battle-field. They must come out for water, and Mc- Kay's Indians are posted to pick them off as they come out. A general i order war Is feared owing to tbe bad faith of the government agents wiih the Indians ou reservations, aud the encouragement the latter received by the example of the Modoos.

The body will be sent on for the east for burial. ■ Neither the cavalry nor the Warm Spring Tudlans have found any trace of the Modoos ou their scout at first, but fi nally the Warm Bqring Indians discov ered tbe place of retreat of the enemy, and Donald Mclfay crawled up on them and counted forty Modoos, Including squaws. He did not deem It expedient to make an attack upon them at that time, but it was expected that the troops and Warm Spring Indiana would attack them on the night of the 23d. It is now ascertained that la the first day’s battle Bogus Char ley and Hooka Jim were both wounded. NO FURTHER NEWS FROM THE LAVA BEDS.

XiONEON, April 25.— Despatches re ceived in London from Madrid state that the latter city has been greatly agitated during the past few days. A rising was expected on Wednesday Digtt, and the theatres and shops were all closed. D uring the day of Wednes day the Permanent ■ Committe of the Assembly held a session, at which all the members df the government, with the exception of President Pigueras and Senor Margall, Minister of the Interior,, and acting President during the tempo rary retirement of Pigueras, were pres ent. A long discussion upon the situa tion took place. Senor Castelar, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, and Senor Sal merori, Minister of Justice, made speeches, in which they admitted that the aspect of affairs in the city was grave. , They stated, however, that the dep redations of the , Carlists had been checked, discipline was restored in the army, and the government was of the opinion that It was not necessary to again corivoke the Assembly or post pone the'election of members lor the Constituent Cortes. Senior Castelar finally asked for an adjournment of twelve hours, which the committee re fused. The members of the government then retired to deliberate upon the course they ..would take, and did not return. During the afternoon eleven battalions of Vrluhteers, composed of monarchists, revolted and fired on Gen. Contreras, who escaped, but four other persons were killed and several wound ed. ... The agitation increased as night came on, and shots were fired in various quarters of the city. A number of vol unteers broke into the hall of Congress, where the Permanent Committee was in session, and the committee sought safety in flight. Marshal Serrano and a number of his political friends, fear ing the wrath of the mob, prudently hid themselves. On Thursday a‘government decree appeared dissolving the Permanent Committee, and the city became mote tranquil. Lieutenant General Sooiaa has been appointed ..Captain General of Madrid, to succeed General Pavia, who tendered his resignation.
