food itdeMigem The New File Manufaotobt.— We Visited on Tuesdayafternoonth© large build lags erected during the past summer, at south-west corner of Plum and Chestnut streets, this city, by the Lancaster File Company. These buildings are quite largo in 5126, are constructed of the very best brlok, and are covered with slate, so as to render them almost or quite fire proof. The drat building fronting on Chestnut street is 116 feet long and 30 feet wide, and contains the office, the packing room, and the very large room in which the dies are cut. The packing room and office are each about 16 feet square, and are so constructed as to be admirably adapted for the respective uses .to which they are to be put. The remalnd er of this large building is entirely occupied by the cutting room, which is about 100 feei long and 30 ieet wide, and is lighted by very large double windows, so arranged as to enable the workmen to see to do their work properly. The interior arrangements o! this large room are not as yet dnished, but when they are fully completed there will bo benches sufficient lor sixty cutters to work at the same timo, while each will have ample space and light to work to the best advantage and to finish filesjpf the very finest quality. The second building is located a few feet east of the onejust described, and has in it> west end tne hardening and tempering room which contains a large cooling tub, and is befug fitted up with all the furnaces and appurtenances requisite for giving the metal the proper degree of hardness for be ing made into files by the subsequent pro cesses. East oi this room and adjoining it is the large and commodious room used as a repair shop, and from it we entered tin grinding ruom, whore there are at present six mammoth grindstones running, and in which it is coutomplated to place seven more, the places designed for them being now almost ready for their reception, litre the files ure.groun'd smooth, preparatory t" their being filially roughened in the cutting room. Next to the room last described, ami in the extreme east end of the budding it* the apartment used as a smith shop; in this shop the files are forged, and also in it are located the annealing furnaces where files undergo a certain process in order to make them ready for cutting. This shop is entirely free from sulpher and smoke, and Is provided with excellent ventilation, by which all such unwholesome fumes are.en tirely carried away, uiul the .health ot the Workmen secured. Immediately south of this smith shop, adjoining the main building and extending along Plum street is the Foundry. Thi building Is 50 feet long by 3a leet wide and in it will be placed the malleable furnaces used for making mulleablo castings These furnaces are not as yet In place and conse quently no description of them cati at tills time he given ; the number of furnaces to be provided will bo increased as the grow ing wants of the establishment may de mund. In the Spring llie erection of an ad ditional building will be commenced which Is to bo so feet long anil 3f> leet wide in which steel will be made by Mr. F. C. Curie’s patent process. This new building is to be built in a line with the Engine House, and west of and parallel with the Foundry building. The Boiler and Engine Fouso is Sputh o! the grinding room and the repair shop and is in size 33 by -7 feet. The engine for driving, the machinery of the inunufuctorj’ is a splendid one; jt is of six ty horse power ami the Ily wheel is about 45 feet in circumference ; the engine works well and will when entirely completed be furnished with ail the modern appliances to secure steadiness of motion.and power ; it. was constructed by Harborger tfc Co., oi this city, and rellocla great credit upon their skill as stationary engine builders. .The steam is supplied by three largo boilers each 11 Inches in diameter mid 12 feet long ; limy are to buve glass gages and will be supplied with all the apparatus essential to insure sufoty and to obtain a large supply of steam with the least expenditure of ma terial. The buildings are supplied with water ami gas throughout their whole ex tent and the Company have spared no ex pense in order to make them and the ma chinory which they contain as perfect as possible, and tiny furiher propose by em ploying nono but the very best workmen to manufacture files not inferior in any respect to those made elsewhere. The files now being manufactured by the Company are made of the best steel and have in every iustmico given entire satisfaction to their purchasers. {Cases containing some fine specimens of,tiles, axes, ami hummers, made of iron converted into steel by means of Mr. Curie's patent process were shown us m the packing room oft lie establishment; this steel is of the best quality and the otlge tools''and files manufactured out of it are warranted equal to any others in the mar ket and when subjected to the severest trials have fully met the high opinions formed of fheir durability. Mr. Curio had a collection of these edge tools ami tiles on exhibition at Iho {Slide Fair at Harrisburg last .September and also at the York Coum.v Fair at York boiougli and at both places their merits se cured for them a Premium. Wo propose again visiting the File Works after they aiu fairly in operation.and whatever now addi lions to the buildings or machinery may be by that timo made we will inform our readers respecting them. New Machine Shoe and Foundry.— UnrniiH A Company have built, during tho past Hummer, u new mucbine shop and foundry near tiienornorof Jamesaud Duke Htreeis this city. The muehino shop fronts on .lames street and is in size 7(> feet long and 133 feet wide ; it is two story high, built of brink, itnd is covered with slate. The of line is located in the north east part of this building and is about Pd feet .squure. The first Hour of tlio nmc.hino “hop contains the turning lathes, planer, bolt cutter, drill prosses, etc. The second story is used by those enguged on wood work ami contains u splendid platting machine, and also a tenoning machine, and scroll saw—both the latter being of the most approved pattern Th’o wood pluner is of S A. Wood's patent; Jt is a hi feet dimension planer and is not •tjurpassed by any machine* of the kind in this city. 1l will piano with equal facility and exactness a Jog two feet square or a stick one-eighth of an inch square, and cun roudily bo adjusted 10 plane slicks of all the in termed mte sizes. Thu cylinder of this pluner is only six inches in diameter yet it mukew 4,G4U revolutions in a minute and the edges of its knives pass through a space in thut time which, if extended in a straight line, would exceed a mile in distance. The mind can hardly comprehend motion so .rapid as this, and the thought suggests itself that many of our citizens pass daily such meehunlcul wonders, and daily beur the hum of machinery without stopping to see It operate, or taking the least interest in these wonderful labor saving machines— the most beneficial and usoiiil products of mnn’a ingenuity-and skill. The foundnMs built to tho west end of tho machine shop, extending southward, and is 00feet long aud ."a feet wide; a portion of this foundry building, 2U by 3.» feet, is used os a smith shop ; the remuiu’derof the build ing is exclusively devoted to casting pur- Soaes. A patent crane is used in the fouu ry for moving the heavy castings from one portion of it to another; it is a most conve nient all'uir, as with it a boy can move a casting weighing four tons to any part of the foundry. Next to The foundry on the east is the iron house, a building used as a store room for old iron, and also for coal; this building is 20 feet square. North of the iron house ami adjoining tin* machine shop and foundry is the boiler and engine house; tho engine room is 111 feel square. The boiler is 41 inches in diameter and I’d feel long; tho engine is of 20 horse power, and is a splendid piece of mechanism. Messrs. Lamlis'lsave attached to tho engine one of Snyder and .! en kins’ latest improved governors by means of which tho impelling power is properly dis rilmted and uniform action thereby .secured. The machine shop is heated ill all its parts by steam conveyed through it by means of large pipes, so tbut tho ordinary plan of heating by means of stoves is dispensed with, and greater sucur ity uguiust lire obtained; tho proprietors also proposo as soon us practicable to have the buildings iigbteal with gas. The foundry, iron house, and engine house are like the main building constructed of brick ami roofed with slate. Uurke {Stealing,—A correspondent of the Oxford Pres, s slates that for tho last threo months the citizens of the southern part of Lancaster county, have lived in constant dread of thieves that seem to have made Fulton ami adjoining townships a field for the (thus far) successful vocation ot horse-stealing. Tho list of those who have lost horses of lute Ims become feurfuly larger. First, we have Messrs. Thompson and .CuLunmigs, of Pleasant Grove, who had a line horse, top buggy, butFalo robe, and a suit of clothes stolen. Next conies John Thompson, of Rising Sun, with a.loss of horse and buggy ; then Mr. Walker, ol Little Britain, with horse and harness ; and Inst on tiie list we have to chronicle the loss of John Krvder, residing near Chest nut Level, who had three horses—all he owned —stolen from his stables, Tuesday evening the stb inst. The particulars of this lust wholesale stealing are as follows: Mr* liryijer-returned • home lrom the lime quarries with his teum early in the evening, fed and curried his horses nbuiu 7 o’clock. The tnieves wereevideutly on the alert and stole them soon after Kryder re turned to the house; judging from the fact of their having only time io eat their outs, the hay in the manger not being disturbed. Between 9 and JO o’clock three men—riding as many horses—were met by a citizen ot Fulton on the Lancaster road just north of the residence of Koucrt Barnes. From the description of the horses—two bays and one gray,they were certainly the party escaping with the stolen booty. Thus fur no trace of the uirection taken or the horses has been discovered by Mr. Kryder; and we pre sume -he will have no better luck than others who have lust in a similar way. That thieves can come into so thickly a settled country, select good horses, steal them with impunity and make good their escape, is rather- mysterious. Such, how ever, is the naked l»ct, and it Is now time that our citizens take some general uotiou for mutual protection, a cull has been made, and it is be hoped that every indi vidual in this section, who possesses a horse will turn out, and with an earnestness that the occasion demands endeavor to do some thing to make more secure his own nnd neighbor’s property. Partridges.— The Reading Times Bays that an amateur gunner of that city visited Harrisburg on the 11th inst., to purchase two thousand partridges with which to stock Berkß county. The Times adds “ that his success was-not very flattering as the open winter and scarcity of snow has pre vented tire hunters from netting them.” * THE LAN CASTER WEEKLY CIgiR, WKDJSTEi SD A. Y, JAJSTU AKY 80, 1809. The Delaware River ahe Lancaster Railroad.—The Commissioners of this, projeoted railroad metThorgday atSpreeh er*s Exchange Hotel, East Ring atreet, this city. Gen. Geo. M. Steinman, of this dty, aoted os chairman, and Dr. W. L. Dlflw derfer, of New Holland, as secretory. minutes or the last meeting of the oo™ missloners, which was held at Phcenxttoe, were read and approved. The chairman stated that Mr. Reeves, a party residing to Philadelphia, a man of muoh who is interested in the construction of the road, had telegraphed to hlmtba£ Ydj able circumstances preventedl him from being present at the meeting of the Com missloners. , „ r „,a_ Mr. George D. Sprecber, of this city, stated that he had blen very unsuccessful in obtaining funds from parties In Lancas ter j that he had succeeded in selling but a small amount of smek-ap amount so small that he was ashamed to state it; be had called upon some ot our prominent business men and they had refused to ren der any aid to the projected railway.stating to him (Mr. 8.) that the proper way to have the road built would be to let some existing Railroad Company build the road, and that if a Railroad Company would undertake to build it they would then subscribe liberal ly to aid in its construction. Mr. Sprecher said that to aid in its construction in this way be bad no doubt but that $150,000 or $200,000 could be procured in Lancaster, but that so far Lancaster had done but lit tle—almost nothing—towards helping the enterprise. Tnt" Commissioners from the other coun ties through which the road will pass stated that they had been more successful; that along tue line of the proposed railway, considerable money bad already been sub scribed, and that*much more w<<u d be 1 forthcoming when the precise route the road would take should be agreed upon. Upon adding up the amounts subscribed, the total amount was found to be about , $102,000, to which sum Lancaster city had contributed notbiDg. It was then stuted that there still remaiued $58,000 lo be raised oel'ore the road could be located or a Board | of Directors elected. Mr. Sprecher offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the committee or five on iuinscription, be empowered to solicit sub scriptions, and to call to uid them in secur ng subscriptions any persons whom they may deem suitable, whether such persons ue commissioners or not. Mr. I. W. Guilden presented a resolution that if any one of the committee ot five on s n hscript ions should neglect or refuse to ucl, hut the other four be empowered to ap point a suitable person in his place. The resolution was adopted. On motion, it vrus also resolved that all stock subscribed on tne route of the'pro posed railroad between Lancaster and Fhmnixvilie, be subscribed with the under-, stunding tbut said road be located ou the .North side of the Welsh Mountain. Dr. W. L. Diffenderfer-was on motion de signated to act us Treasurer of whatever iuuds might be raised for the presenttoward lorwurding tbe enterprise upon his giving security for their safe custody. The Committee of Five to solicit subscrip tions for tbe new railroad consists of the following persons: Messrs. I. W. Guilden, Samuel K. Cosset, Jacob 7. Plank, George I). Sprecher and S. P. Moyer. The above committee were on motion authorized to meet for the purpose of trails acting business wherever they may deem pioper provided they give duo notice that a meeting is to be held. During the progressof the meeting sever al resolutions were presented but, after some discussion relative to their propriety, those presenting them withdrew them from th*» further consideration of tbe meeting. On motion the meeting adjourned. The Mortgage Law.—By tbe following note from Seuulor Davis, of Berks county, to the Berks and .Schuylkill Journal , it ap pears that the Slate Tax on Mortgages was not repealed b.v the law passed at the last session of the Legislature of this State.— Mortgages were merely exempted from local taxation by this hcl: Editors of Berks and Schuylkill Journal: Gkn'llemkn—Thu act of last winter ex empting mortgages, judgments, Ac., from taxation passed the Senate unanimously as u general law,'applying to the whole State, and exemptiug from all taxation, State as well us local; the House however made it a local luw, apolying to only forty-three counties, und of course taxes lor State pur poses wero c-xcepted. Kcspcctluily yours, J. B. Davis. A rout Air.—A Prominent physician at tributes much of the sickness in winter to the bad effects of coal gas. He says in nine nut of ten houses that ho enters he notices coal gus in the air they breathe. Many times ho finds the damper m the stove pipe closed to save coal, and the result is a room full of gas, not noticed by tbe inmates, perhaps, >but by tho-e who come in from the frtsh air. These are important suggestions, too little heeded. The injurious atmosphere from this cause, at first greatly offensive, becomes accommodated to the sense short endurance and unconsciously to its victims acts perniciously upon the vital organs. Too much importunes cannot be attached to the presence of a pure atmos phere, aud the cold months, imposing house confinement more strictly, is the seuson when it should bo espeaially guarded against. Family Ice Houses.—A plan of con structing a cheap ice-house sufficient for the wunts of a lurue family living in the country, near n pond offresh water, has re cently been suggested. A frame building twt*lve feel square nnd eight .or nine feel , high, it is asserted, will be sufficiently capa -1 cions for all puposes. The housesbould be ' supported on posts elevated a few inches i above the giound. to secure proper drainage i and should be constructed of three inch • joists, with an outer boarding, und having inside another series of uprights, also board -1 ed from six to ten inches removed from th‘* outer shell. The floor should bo made of Milid plunk, and the spuce between the two walls should be lilk-d with tau, saw-dust, | straw or chaff; when a roof of good pitch is I added, the ice house is complete. A drain 1 for water should lie made from the flour, and the space above the uprights, between 1 a loose flooring and the pitch ol the roof, j illled with straw or bay, or some similar ! dryoorous material. On the roof should bo j a ventilator, the top defended lrom the rain ;or stimv. The ice should be packed in one | solid mass, the sides not reucLung the inuer ■ walls of the building, but allowing a space ; of from six to twelve inches all around. The j top of tho ice should be covered'with straw, ami the door should be like the sides of the building, or double doors should be made, one in the outer and the other in the inner ; wall. Morning-glories jn r any climbing vine should lie planted around the building, and should be made to creep up the walls nnd oyer the roof, as an additional defense ■ against the burning summer sun. A build iug of this kind, it is asserted, could be erected in one or two days by two men, ■ even if they were not practical carpenters. Tins Year and the Methodists. —The your ls<>9 is destined to be the most impor tant in the annals of American Methodism During the year tho people will lie called upon to decide whether or no they will ac cept tho measures proposed to them by the General Conference, for the admission of lay representatives to that assembly and the Annual Conferences. It is also an im portant fact that a new constituency has been created by the late General Confer ence; all members of the church over twenty-one years of age, whether men or women, will bo eligible to vole upon this questiou. How to Reduce Gas Bills.—As auy hint which may give light upon the subject will he interrestmg to many ofourputrons, we present the following rules which we lind in an exchange; First— Iu lighting your gas, turn the gas on the metre about one-half, then light the gas, und regulate tho lights by the stop cock that lets the gas into the metre. This prevents the pressure of gas from making the index move so fast. The greater the pressure of gas on the metre the faster it moves, and the larger will be the gus bill. Second—From the time the gas is usually lighted until half past eight or Dine o’clock the pressure is the same. After the stores and shops are clo>ed, the procure is then greater on ‘the metres in use, aod the stop cock should be turned at tho metre so as to regulate the pressure. Items.—We copy the following items of local interest from the Oxford Press. The peach trees were very greatly injured by the recent heavy sleet throughout our sectiou. We hear that some orchards were totally ruined. ‘ Captain William S. Underwood, of Penn township, lyis been appointed Mercantile Appraiser, by the Commissioners of Ches ter county. A clever seli-ction. The oid board of Directorsoftbe National Bank of Oxford was re elected yesterday. The Bank lias declared a divideud of four per cent for tho last six months. A. K. Peters, of Upper Oxford, lost a very valuable mare on the Bth inst. He had driven her to Lancaster on Wednesday and back on Thursday, and found her dead iD the stable the next morning. He noticed that she did not seem well, but did not ap prehend anything until too late. Supposed to bo lung lever. A correspondent says.- ” The little congre gation of Coleraiu Church, near Andrews’ Bridge, made their esteemed pastor, the Rev. \V. F. P. Noble, a New Year’s dona tiou giftofsomeofthe substantial of house keeping. Two wagons, pretty well loaded, deposited their contents of eatables at his door, and the hearts of the givers and re ceivers were as bright as the icy scene around them.” KcLirsH.-It is stated that a partial eclipse of the moon, visible in this locality, will oc cur on to-morrow (Saturday) eveniug. It will begin at twenty minutes past seven und end at 0.40 The eclipse will bo at its height at half past eight. Items.—We find the following items of local interest iu the West Chester Repub lican : The National Bankof Coatesvillehasjust declared a dividend of six per cent, clear of U. S. taxes. The amount of loans paid by the com missioners of Chester county during the last year amounted to 502 995 27. Isaac B. Hill, a brakesman on. the P. R R., had his hand crushed a few days since while coupling cars at Coatesville. Dr. Stone, of this county, shot a chicken hawk recently that measured four feet be tween the tips of the wings. Reappointed.— Capt. Jacob B. Gompf, of this city, has been appointed by Gov. Geary, notary publiofor Lancaster county. Mobe House Stealing.—The Oxford Press states that on the night of the Bth iost. ( two horses were stolen from the premises of John Cammings, in Dramore township, Lancaster county, which, however, were recovered the next day, with tbe harness on. It is supposed the thieves could not get suited-in a buggy sod the horses were turned loose. About the same time the stable of M&hlon Posey, in the same neigh borhood, was entered aud one of his horses harnessed, but was not taken out. It Is thought the thief was frightened off, or could ndt find a bridle, as there was none in tbe stable. This is indeed becoming a serious mat ter, as a gang of desperadoes seem to be prowling over the whole of the lower town ships. A company for tbe detection of thieves and the recovery of stolen property is being formed in Fulton township, and one in Colerain, which all the farmers would do well to Join. A vigilance committee seems to be necessary, to be constantly on ihe alert, and all suspicious characters overhauled. If any of these horse thieves are caught they should receive the utmost punishment of the law. Columbia Items.—We take the follow ing items from the Spy: The following persons have been elected officers of tbe Columbia Debating Society: President, A. O Newpber; Vice President, B. F. Steiger; Secretary, J. M. Graybill; Treasurer. D. B. Case; Curators, W. Hays Grier, J. L. Pinkerton, G. T. Forbes. Edward Stevenson, a colored man, aged 54 years, was found dead on Thursday morning, at his home in Washington Bor ough. Samuel Evans, Coroner, held an in quest on the body. Tne deceased was ap pireutiyin good health when he retired to bed. From the evidence, it appeared that he died of heart disease. While John Sheets was engaged in dig ging a trench below Hershey’s mill, on Thursday afternoon, he came upon the bones of a person who hud evidently beeu buried a great many years. A pipe filled with tobacco was found with them, in a good state of preservation. The teeth and skull were ulso in good condition. At a meeting of tbe stockholders of tbe Susquehanna Iron Company, held on Wed nesday, the 13th inst., the following persons were elected to serve as Directors for the ensuingyear: George Bogle, E. Hersbey,Jobn Q. Denny, C.S Kauffmau, Robert Crane, Wm. Patton, M. M. Strickler, John Paine and J. G. Hess. Reinstated. —We learn from tbe Ex press that Jacob K. Luudis, of Rohrers* towu, who had beer, pronounced an habitual drunkard by a commission iu 1842, peti tioned tbe Coprt to be reinstated, .alleging that he had reformed ; and in the Decem ber Court it was argued before the Judges, und the majority of the Court favored the petition, and he was accordingly reinstated m his property, consisting of a farm und town property which had for twenty-six years beeu in the hands of the committee. M. M. Butt, Esq., appeared for the peti tioner, und N. Kllmaker, Esq., for com mittee. Sudden Death.— John Witmer, aged about 40 years, formerly engaged in School teaching, died suddenly at his residence in Millersville, a tew days ugo, of apoplexy. «.EM;RAL FRANCIS P. BLAIR. jlln View* on the Political situation— 'l he Impending Dan^erM)tile Republic Nejfro Ruin-age ibe FocU on Which it Will uraut an Ambitions Man illa opinion of the President Fleet. Washington, Jan. 9, 1809. Geuerul Frank Biair arrived here on 1 Thursday last, and will spend a few days ; with the members of his family, most of whom reside in and around Washington, ufter which he intends to return to St. Louis. The General is looking remarkably well, and in a conversation with your correspon- | dent seemed to be entirely reconciled to the turn a hioii the political affairs of the coun try have taken. He has seen no reason to j ehange.his views, so frequently expressed • duriug the late political campaign, in re- \ gurd to the dangers impending over the I nation through the/imbition of General j Grunt and the machinations of the Rudical ! part}’. 1 The conversation turning upon the pro- j babio results of the Presidential election, 1 Goneral Bhur said that he was filled with apprehensions for tbe future. Geu. Grant 1 is an able and sagacious man and j proved himself to bo by far the most skil- j tul general in tbe two armies which fought out tbe great rebellion; but he is also a very ambitious man and cunning to tbe last degree. He has an objective point toward which all his plaus and exertions tend, far elevated, in personal agrandize ment, above that over aimed at by any other American, living or dead. He believed that his modest deportment and his appaient aversion to being lauded and feasted as a hero are the effects of deep dissimulation tmd the shrewd measures of a wily aud ambitious man, assumed for the purpose of guining the object sought. General Grant is too wise to raise oppo sition ; he reaches the object he has in view by means of masterly strategy. Ho pro tests ugainst being made the recipient of honor and power, confesses his unworthi ness and incompetence to meet the respon sibilities sought to bo imposed upon him ; but he is fully aware of tbe limit to which he can carry his modest opposition without incurring the dangers of being taken at nis word, and graciously permits himself to be drugged into power. His motives iu resist ing the offer to make him a ruler wereeim ilarto those which actuated Julius C;osur when he thrice refused the Roman cn-wu When Gen. .Grant commanded in the field he displayed his wisdom and secured success by never happening in the way of other ambitious men, who were for the time being his superiors. This was the mistake which proved futal to the hopes of many of our military leaders. When Gen. McClellan wus within a few miles of Richmond with a large and well appointed army he did not make any attempt to conceal his political aspirations. The radicals saw that if he went into Richmond they would have to evacuate the White House in ISOS. He thusexcued his opponents into action. His plans weredefeated and he wasoverthrown. He afterwards made a bid for (he republi can nomination by writing a letter declnr tug it as bis opinion that slavery ought to be abolished as a military necessity in bis district. This bold stroke was parried by President Lincoln, whoappropriated all his thunder, abolished slavery iu every dis trict, and cut off Gen. McClellan’s official bead. Gen. Grant never committed such blunders ; his management was so skilliul that he obliged others to perform, seeming iugiy against his wishes, the very services for the attainment of which lie had been manumvering. Having been asked what act of General Grant’s could be selected to furnish a fail proof of the dangerous ambition that Gen eral Blair thought he possessed he replied that the very position he now occupies was an unmistakable indication of it. From an earnest pro-slavery man has be not per mitted himself to be pledged to tbe support of negro suflrage and domination ? General Graut is remarkable for a steadfast adher ence to principles, und to bis mind it seemed very clear that Grant must have been con trolled by an Inordinate desire for power to thus abandon his life-long principles and pledge himself to their utter destruction. Even supposing tnat every act of General Grant may conduce to the peace and pros perfly of tbe country, that one* principle, the destruction of the elective franchise by degrading it to a level with the most abject ignoruuco and the vilest corruption, will alone work the ruin of this republic. No benefits that his administration may confer can save the nation from the peril which threatens to engulf it by this degradation of tbe ballot box. No man is more fully aware of the great danger that menaces the country through the radical doctrine of immediate and per fect equality between“the negroes aud the whites than General Grant. The conviction is, therefore, unavoidable that some extra ordinarily powerful temptation is leading Grant on to a fixed goal, to reach which tbe principles of a lifetime will be sacrificed. The manner in which the existing political principles will overthrow our present form of government, the General thinks, is now clearly forstiadowed. A minority rules the country, and. as in all cases where a minor ity controls, the equilibrium is preserved by military authority. If all the whites iu the country had the right of suffrage the case would be far different, but they have not. A large portion are kept down by the bayonet. It tbe question of negro suffrage, pure aud simple, were .submitted for the acceptance or rejection of the loyal States the pernicious dogma would be overwhelm ingly repudiated. But tbe dominant panv is pledged to confer the elective franchise upon tbe negroes of every State, and ii will be done. The character of tbe carpet-baggers wbo now misrepresent tbe newly recousirutted States in Congress is a fair indication of what a depth of degradation the ball t-box has reached through the radical policy, aud when the negroes of the whole country vote the character of the officers elected will be considerably below the moral and intellectual standard of those now adminis tering the government. Then the needs of the nation will be ne glected or badly attended to. Taxation will be rather increased than diminished. Plundering the public Treasury will be come respectable. Anarchy aud misrule will flourish triumphant; aud no better re sults than these can be expected from so fearful u vitiation of the corner-stone of Re publicanism, the ballot box. When these calamnities fall upon us, said tbe Geoeral—and the day does not seem far distant —the people will be prepared for al most any change, for no change could be lor the worse. Then they will call upon Grant to release them from their intolerable burdens. They will say, let us have a dic tator, a king, an emperor, but “ let us haye peace !” Give us any form of government, only rid us of the horrible incubus that is dragging us to destruction. It may be said that the people will not permit such a revolution. But they will. They have endured calmly a revolution almost as great already within tbe last few years. Tbe political change that has taken place in Spain is not so thorough as that which has occurred in our own country. They have deposed a corrupt sov* reign, but they except another in tbe hope that the government will be more perfectly admin istered. They have simply, effected a change of sovereigns. .We have submitted to a radical change of republican principles. ' One branch of the government haqjasurp ed powers, and tbe people bear it; they have so legislated that there is not a thread or fibre of the constitution that has not been snapped or strained, and the people bear it; they have unlawfully abridged tbe Presidential prerogatives, and the people bear it; they have overawed and silenced the voice of the Supreme Court, and the people bear It; the government Is being robbed and piunderedqfhundreds of mil lions annnauy, and theueople bear all. When tbe straw falls that is to break tbe earners back the people will have, to bear it, for bowsmaJlsoevertbe ruling minority may be tbe strength of the military princi ple of tbe government will then be irresist ible. I trust that my fears may not be well founded. I hope that General Grant may tarn oat to be as wise, as incorruptible, as faithful, as patriotic and aa trustworthy as bis friends fondly believe him to be; but I most oonfess that my confidence In bis dis interested patriotism and bis modest shrin king from the exeroise of unlimited power is not as firm as I could Wish.
