Radical - iteradity.
An exohange calls sttentiou to the fact
that near the :close of the last session _of
&agree; it tirati,assarted on the floor of
the 'tense, as a fact beyond all doubt;:
that the Pope had &Died the Protestant
Chapel at the Atherican Embasey, and for
bidden. it to be re = opened within the walls
of Rome..;
Onitbis, in hot taste, Congress discon
tinued the mission to the Roman States.
It .bas 'since appeared, says the . Age, that
the whole statement is utterly false. The
American Minister; Gen. Rnfus King, has
written a. letter bitterly coMplaining of
the iMposinre, and especially Of the invid
ious comment of the. New York Times up
on the .conduot which it untruly ascribed
to hini in the matter.
The Times rejoins by declaring that it
was itself deceived, and then . makes a.
statement which is worth noting,_ as it
shows the unseat:Talons way in which the
Radical leaders compass their ende. The
Tinies saysin excuse of its own credence
of the
of the , false assertions : " They were re
peated on the floor of Congress, and their
truth asserted by Mr. Steven s,Mr. Dodge,
and other members,and on the strength of
them the mission was abrogated. We do
not suppose that the report was anything
more than a convenient pretext for the
action taken. Certain members of Con
gress deemed it desirable to get General
King but of that office, just as they were
determined to get Mr. Harvey out of Por
tugal; and they were not a whit more
scrupulous in the one case than in:the oth
er, as to the means to be employed."
Thus we see that, for so small an ob
ject as to get one conservative Republi
can out, of office,- the Radicals did not
hesitate to forge a falsehood, and to use
it as a pretext to hurry the American
Congress into a hasty act of discourtesy
to a foreign power, wholly innocent of of
fense to us. All the abuse which the Rad
ical journals heaped upon the Pope and
the Roman Catholics, for the alleged act
of intolerance,.had no other ground than
a base falsehood, invented for the petty,
malignant purpose which the Times dis
closes. If then the Radicals could stretch
invention so.far for, so small an object,
who shall measure the length and depth
of mendacity to which they resort to ac
cemplith their yak, political conspiracy
against free, constitutional government at
the Sonth. The mountain of lies which
they have heaped tip, and to which they
are daily adding, has, from that quarter
at least, almost excluded the light of truth
from the Northern mind. Probably nev
er *before in the world, were there so ma
ny functionaries, officials agents and spies
employed and richly paid for the inven
tion and propagation of falsehood in aid
of a political party. It is their diligence
that furnished the fictions, upon' Which the
American people are asked to act as has
tily and blindly as the American Congress
acted, in 'the matter of the Embassy to
Rome.
Tlinlippencluiielt Question,
The Age copies from a late number of
the New York Tithes the following short
and pithy article upon the impeachment
question :
"The impeachment committee is again
session, and we have the stereotyped an
nouncement that "several important wit
oeises have been called." They have been
"Called" very often, but to very little
peipose. This whole impeachment ninve-
Inept is tin outrage and a • scandal. It
has - been set on foot in utter contempt of
everfprineiple ofjnstice, and is prosecu
ted without the sbgbest regard to person
al...rights .or - amnion decency. Venally
an gapeaohment or indictment of any
sorl,,:proaseds upon definite allegations
of crime • .but here it is set on foot to see
if possib le; some of crime may not
be - tnade. Venally no testimony is admit
ted but that, which is pertinent to the
casc and from actual witnesses of the acts
alleged.tio have 'beet; committed; but here
the wildest and mast -.absurd hearsay is
tt ken ; as evidence, and no regard whatev
er is paid to the legal inazinis which hold
all men innocent until they are proi-en
guilty. The whole affitir, is an unscrupu
lous, malevolent crusadeagainst thePres
idelit, having its origin in political,. and
jarsonal - , disappointment, and for. its ob
ct the accomplishment of party purpos--.
es, attainsolelulso.other way. It is des-.
tined to act aericusly. on, those who have
made tkemielves.responsible for it." .

io l e adek**re acting upon the principle
of having c" two strings to..eir

But the country is tired of this latter
farce. It has ceased to create even a rip
ple on the surface of the , sea of politics,
and few, would read-a report, upon the
subject if issued: Then, again, the
,elec
dons in the North are eXercising a heal

light sensible people view the impeach.
ment humbug, and its early death will be
a fitting finale to the whole movement.
Ile s `Radical organs .are denouncing
their late Legislature for its corruption,
in order to gull the peop - ie into the elec
tion of another just like it. In the same
way the Radical Le,gislat4res of 1865 and
1866 were denounced, and, should - Rad
ical Legislature be elected next fall the
same coarse would be pursued with it by
the Radical press. The people have had
enough of the corrupt practices of Radi
calism. •
'The New York Tribune says :
" Men who hohrlbat pane but whites
should vote may be well enough, in their
place; but there is no roOm fez them iu
the Republican party. vrey one who
stays in it keeps at least:ten voters out
of it." This is a fair notice to every de
cent Republican to take his hat and leave.
With ten negroes for every one such who
leaves, the white rads think they can get
on very well. Black radicals are prefera
ble to intelligent white Men, because they
can be manipulated with:more facility by
the leaders.
The Latest Fathions.
Since the invention and successful intro
dilation of the Celebrated Duplex Elliptic
(or double) Spring Skirt,.'.by J. W. Brad
ley, 'of New York, the lidies throughout
the country have given up the idea of dis
carding the fashion of wearing hoop skirts
on account of the peculiar and graceful
manner in which the Duplex Skirts adapt
themselves to every exigency and emer
gency. So generally acceptable have these
Skirts become that the ladies regard them
as a special favorite in view of the super
ior flexibility, lightness and durability
Combined in, their Manufacturing. Tbey
also consider them' a far pore economical
and Comfortable Hoop Skirt, than ever
has or can be made for Crowded Assemb
lies, for thc Promenade or House Press.
Any lady after wearing one of these Skirts
will' never afterwards willingly i dispense
with their use. Long expearence itl thfr,
manufacture of Hoop Skirts, haS' proven
to the proprietors of this invention that
Single Springs will always retain that stiff
unyielding and bungling, style which has
ever characterised them, whereas the
Double Spring Hoop or the Duplex Elliptic
will be found free ftorn..:these objections.
Notwithstanding the ability of the manu
factures, Messrs. West.te- Bradley and
Cary, to turn out over - six thousand
Skins per day from their large Manufac
tories in New York, they feel obliged to
request all merchants oedering the Duplex
Elliptic Skirts, to send their orders a few
days before they aro wanted, if possible,
as they are most 'constantly. oversold
solicits days ahead.

Jefferson Davis :Released I-Horace
Greeley, Ike. his bondsmen.
RICHMOND, May 13.
Judge Underwood entered the court
room at half past eleven o'clock this fore
noon, and having taken his sem i , ordered
the court to be opened, the crier pro
claiming, "Hear ye, hear ye; silence is
commanded while the Circuit Court is in
session. God save the United States."
The room bad previously been crowded
with spectators, irjcluding a few ladies
and a number of negroes, in all probably
not more than two hundred, owing to the
limited capacity of ,the court room. At
one side of the table, in front of the Judg
e's stand, were seated Cbas. O'Connor,
William. R. Reed and Geo. Shea, Esq's,
and on the other, J. Randolph Tucker,
Robert Ould and James Lyons, Esq'rs,
all counsel for Jefferson Davis.
The United States District Attorney
Chandler and William M. Everts occupied
seats near the gentlemen mentioned, and
appeared fur the United States govern
ment.
Jefferson Davis entered the court, room,
accompanied by General Burton and U.
S. Assistant Marshal Duncan, and took
seats especially provided for them on the
side of Judge Underwood.
Jefferson Davis was, a short time after
his entrance into court, provided with a
seat between Messrs O'Connor and Reed.
The writ of habeas corpus, sued out of
the Court and allowed by Judge Under•
wood, was then read; it bore the follow
ing endorsement:
"In obedience to the exigency of the
within writ, I now hero produce before
the within named Circuit of the United
States for the District of Virginia, the bo
dy of Jefferson Davis, at the time of the
service of the writ, held by me, in im
prisonment at Fortress Monroe, under the
military authority of the United States,
and surrender the said Jefferson Davis to
the custody, jurisdiction and control of
the said Court, as I am directed to do by
the order of the President of the United
States, under date of May 8, 1867.
. H. S. BURTON,
Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General U.
S, Army."
Mr. O'Conor said that on this return
no reason was stated for the imprison
ment of Jefferson Davis, and it now re
mained for the Court to take such action
as was requisite on the part of the civil
authorities to bring the prisoner within
the proper limits to meet the indictment.
The Court replied : The return is ex
plicit and satisfactory. General Burton
receives the thanks of the Court for this
prompt and graceful obedience to its writ.
He has thus added another to the many
laurels he has gained upon the battle
fields of the country. He has illustrated
the manly qualities•of the soldier of the
United States, for courage in the face of
danger is not more becoming than a ready
recognition of the. claims of peace when
the danger has passed. General Burton
is now honorably relieved of the custody
of the prisoner, who passes into the cus
tody of the Court under the protection
of American republicair laW. If the laws
aro !Silent in arras, they should be trum
pet tongued and . omnipotent in peace.
The Marshal will now serve on the pris
\aner the writ on the indictment now in
this Court. •
Deputy Marshal Duncan accordingly
served the writ on Jefferson Davis, which
thii latter acknowledged.
(The question of bail was then submit
ted to the Court by agreement of counsel
on both sides. It' may be noted that the
Court—Judge Underwood—was appoin
ted by Mr. Lincoln, and is a very violent
radical.)
REMARKS OF JUDGE UNDERWOOD.
The Court said—The question is wheth
er the case is bailable. It is a little re
markable that in the midst of a aigantic
civil war the Congress of the United S.
changed the punishment of an offense
with death to fine:and imprisonment; but
under the circumstances it was very hon
orable to the government of the United
States, and exhibited its clemency and
moderation. This is a fact which relieves
the present case of every doubt as to its
being bailable, and it is alio, in my judg
ment, eminently proper that the motion
should be treated with favor, as the de
fendant has been ready for a year to sub
mit. his case to the courts of the country.
It is true the prisoner was not until to
day in the custody of this Court. I think,
however, that no person acquainted with
the circumstances of the country would
suppose the fact reflected on the justice
of the country. considering the national
effect of a great war, which lashed all the
elements of society into fury, it was not ,
to be expected that the passions and prej
udices aroused would be subdued in a
moment, and it is in consequence of the
prevalence of this,aisturbance and tumult
which has been abroad in the community,
that .the government has felt it could not
safely proceed with this case. After con
sultation with the highest judicial officer,
it was thought best to omit the trial last
fall. But fortunately we have a more
agreeable aspect at the present time.
We may now hope for restored confi
dence and that Wt 3 may not again be dis
turbed by, violence and commotion. I
think there arq reasonable assurances in
the indications around us that we are
about to enter on a peace more perina
nein than ever existed before. I ought
perhaps to state the fact that this Court
expects to be in Session all this week, and
I have a letter !Vora thiefjuistice Chase,
intimating his intention to come to this
.city if any important causes are likely to
be tried. I-ought Also to state in justice
to!the DiStrict Attorney tb,at lie expected
to:dispose of ibiel case during the present
term. - I believe the was 'fully 'prepared
for the disposition of it, at tbiatime; big I
baYe no- doubt that grave coniderations
hate induced the government to take it
different course. So it seems the respon
sibility of the trial is with the 'govern.
?,
meat, and not with'-the court or 'strict
Attorney, and. no - doubt for g od and'
proper reagons., The government cannot
complain, since the delayis its Own. I
am glad counsel bareanTeed on the amn't •
of bail. It meets with the approbation
of the Court, which will -not confine the
sureties to the District of Virginia. It
would, no doubt, be satisfactory if about
half of the sureties be confined to the
State Of Virginia. There is no Objection
to having the remainder of the bail from
other portions of the United 'States. I
would inquire of the counsel for the pris
oner whether his sureties are present to
enter into recognizance to day.
Mr. O'Conor—They are all prepared.
Mr. Davis, during,these proceedings,
exhibited much cheerulness, especially as
many persons in the crowd extended their
1 hands to congratulate him on the pros
pect of his speedy release.
The Court—The gentlemen proposing
to offer themselves will please come for
war,l.
Mr. 0' Connor; addressing Horace
Greeley, who was seated near to Augus
tus Schell, invited him to present himself
before the Court. Mr. Greely did so.
District Attorney Chandler said there
were eighteen gentlemen who would
qualify themselves, in. the sum of $4,000
each, leaving two others tp become sure•
tics who would probably arrive this eve
ning. Ile was entirely satisfied with the
list of names and the responsibility at
tached to them. He asked the Court to
take a recess. •
Mr. O'Connor—l am not certain that
thy will arrive to-night. It may not be
till.to-morrow.
Meanwhile the introductions to Mr.
Davis and the handshaking continued,
and there was much contusion all over the
court room.•
Dit , triet Attorney Chandler said—lnas
linuch as eighteen gentlemen have offered,
I have no objections to the insufficiency
of the number.
Mr. O'Connor—We are waiting.for two
gentlemen, and while we aro, waiting
' twenty others are willing to take tbeth
places. Tire names of'the sureties were
severally called, and they repaired to Ahe
clerk's desk and signed the following pa-
per :
The condition of the recognizance is
such as that if the said Jefferson Davis
shall, in proper person, well and truly ap
pear at the Circuit Court or the United
States for the District of Virginia, to be
held at Richmond, in the said district, on
the fourth Monday of November next, at
the opening of the Court on that day,
then and there appear from day to day,
and stand to, abide and perfothiwhateiver
shall then and there ordered and adjudg

congratulated him, while a numbet of
strangers were introduced. Assistant Mar

that Davis is at last at liberty.

to his brother in Mississippi on the fact,
and said be would :write from New York.

As a lover of Perfect cquality,le cer
tainly cannot show less favor to the White
laborer than to the Black one. But what
sort. of public policy-is that, for a ndtion
like ours . which holds penal conditions
over the heads of. its citizens, to coerce
them into the practical support, eo far as
the withdrawal of their oppoSition is con
cerned, of the party making such threats ?
That, however, is the depth to which rad
icalism has succeeded in .dragging down
our national legislation.
Important to Soldiers.
Congress has provided by law that sol
diers, sailors and marines ; who were cap
tured during the war and held_ as prison.
ers, shall be allowed, as a commutation
for their rations, the sum of,twenty-iive,
cents per day.
This money is. paid by the Commissary
General of Prisoners at ViTashington '
and
it is necessary that the names of the
claimants shall appear on his books. The
act of Congress only; permits the payment
to bo made to privates in the land.and
naval forces. Officers are not entitled to
it. Notwithstanding this fact many of
the latter have applied for commutation,
and others may yet apply. To save-trou
ble, it, is proper thatithe conditions oftho
law should be understood.
. As there are soldiers, mark:les and sail
ors, who have not Made, application, they
should do so at once; before the payments
are closed.
