Washington City Election. The first gun since the Chicago Con vention — Democratic triumph in Washing ton —the result distasteful to Grant as a sol lier,arid more particularly so as a politi cian—the great "no policy" candidate con demned in the house of his friends. Not withstanding Congress had enfranchised niggers and disfranchised white men in the District of Columbia, the conservatives won a glorious victory at the charter election in Washington on Monday, by electing the entire Democratic ticket for city officers and a majority of Councilrnen in the vaii ous Wards. In one Ward, which bad a Radical majority, two niggers were elected councilrnen. The nigger ticket was a large placard, with a red wood cut of Grant printt d on it, so that the ignorant niggers could tell that the picture-ticket was the one they had to vote.

We regret to announce the death of James Buchanan, 15th President of the United States, which occurred at Lis residence in Lancaster, Pa., on Monday morning the Ist inst.

During the silling of the Radical Con vention at Chicago, the following dispatch was sent to the New dailies : The knowledge that Senator Wade's nomination as Vice President will prevent the success of a pending negotiation for the votes of two Republican Senators for conviction, who voted against the Elev enth Article, has virtually withdrawn him from the contest. On the next evening the telegraph an nounced the nomination of Grant and Col fax. Now let us know who are the " two Republican Senators " for whose votes a " negotiation " was pending; and what bribe was offered them to vote "for con viction ? ' eveDts*have shown that the tele graph had same foundation in fact, let us know if it was all true. New Senatorial terms have been free ly offered by Radicals for votes for con vicitou. In other words, a splendid office for six years, and THIRTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS have been held out to Senators to induce tliem to vote against the President, and a threat to deprive them of those positions and that money, if they did not so vote.

This list, it will bo seen, embraces some of the ablest and uiost influential journals in the country. SPOONS.—Brute Butler has given up for the present, all idea of getting posses sion of the spoons of the White House. The Radical Platform. We give our readers the platform adopt ed by the Mongrelists at Chicago last week. It is a strange jumble of jargon, made up to hoodwink and deceive. How far it will succeed is hard to say : The National Republican party of the United States assembled in National Con vention in the City of Chicago, on the 20th, of May, 1868, make the following declara tion of principles : RECONSTRUCTION. We congratulate the country on the as sured reconstruction policy of Congress as : evinced by the adoption in the majority of j the States lately in rebellion, of Constitu tions securing equal rights to all, aqd it is the duty of the Government to sustain those institutions and to prevent the peo ple of such States from being remitted to a state of anatchy. (Cheers.) The "assured reconstruction of Con gress" is a fraud upon the spirit of repub licanism, forced by the arbitrary and des j potic power of the bayonet ; a swindle and a lie, and will prove a greater failure, ex cept in robbery, than the impeachment. SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH GOVERNED BY CONGRESS —SUFFRAGE IN THE NORTH GOVERNED BT TIIE STATES. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men of the South, was demanded by considerations of public safe ty, of gratitude, and of justice, ami roust be maintained, while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belong to the people of those States. (Cheers.) Equal suffrage to the negro ; confisca tion and disfranchisement to the whites ; mongrel gratitude to the negro, are the pet measures of the party. GLITTERING GENERALITIES ABOUT TIIE I'UBLIC DEBT. 3. We denounce all forms of repudia tion as a national crime (prolonged cheers,) and the national honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, in the ut most good faith, to all creditors, at hotne and abroad, not only according to the let— i ter, but the spirit ot the laws under which it was contracted. (Applause.) i This is good; and hits Thad Stevens and the Impeachers a terrible whack for repudiating the Constitution. As for the . payment of the public debt, that is thnnJ er stolen front l'endleton, who is for pay ing the debt off according to the law un der which it was contracted. ABANDONMENT OF PREVIOUS RADICAL TOL ICT WITH REGARD TO TAXATION. 4. It i 9 due to the labor of the nation that taxation should he equalized and re duced as rapidly as the national faith will ! permit. That is true, Messrs. Mongrels, it is '•due to labor" and the world will be grat ified to know that you profess repentance for your acts during the past seven years of your oppression and robbery of labor, and exclusive privileges to the wealthy.— Taxes should be equalized, and will be, when power is wrested from yonr hands. EXTEND THE DURATION OF THE DEBT RE DUCE THE INTEREST? 5. The national debt, contracted as it lias been for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption ; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can reason ably be done. Yes, that is it ; extend the payment of , the debt to all eternity. Don't repudiate the debt, but repudiate the interest, when I ever it can be reusonublg done '• K GLITTERING GENERVLITV, AND A HAP AT BUTLER. 6. That the best policy to diiqinish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay and must continue to pay, so long as re pudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected. RADICALS CUT "ECONOMY AND STOP COR RUPTION." 7. The Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions, which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson, call loudly for Radical reform. This miserable attempt to foist the sins of Congress on the shoulders of Andrew Jobnsoo, is shamoful in the extreme. His hands have been so completely tied by the fraudulent acts of Congress, that he is al most powerless, to punish acts of delin quents. We have had Radical reform for the past few years. ANDREW JOHNSON IMPEACHMENT HOW TO DODGE A FIZZLE. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacher ously to the people who elected biin and the cause he was pledged to support; who has usurped high legislative and Judicial functions ; who has refused to execute the laws ; who has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws ; who has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, the peace, liberty and life of the citizen ; who has persistently and corruptly resist ed, by every measure iu his power, every pioper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion ; who has per verted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has just ly been impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Seuators. RIGHTS OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS. 9. The doctrine of Great Britain and i other European powers, that because a man is once a subject, he is always so, must be resisted at every hazzard by the United States, as a relic of the Feudal times, not authorized by the law of nations and at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc entitled to be protected in all their rights 1 Mr. Newton's relating to all sorts of subjects, were produced and read, but nothing was elicited upon which to base the shadow of a proof of corruption. Butler asked Mr. Newton if he bad not written a certain letter to Mr. Smythe, col lector of New York, and went on to indi eate the contents of the letter referred to. The witness replied lie had ; that he hap pened to leave 4on the table in his room unfolded, and that it was stolen from there. "Who stole it ?*' inquired Butler. "I expect yon did, * responded Newton. The witness was put tinder arrest four times, but as often liberated, the whole proceeding being conducted with a moek decorum that was quite refreshing to wit noss. The wiiness resolutely pers sted in refusing to disclose his private affaiis, tho he very good limnoredly answered all the questions lie possibly could without quite turning himself inside out. Butler, for in stance, read a telegram addressed to col lector Smythe ''Come on here at once"' — signed Newton—and a-ked witness what nefarious scheme he had in contemp'ation when he penned such an atrocious request as that. Ne.wton replied he felt lonesome and wanted Smythe to come along and take a drink, whereupon Butler got indig nant, and said the Board of Managers was not to be trilled with in that fashion. A great deal of such silly matter made tip the fruit of to-day's investigation. Near the close of Mr. Newton's testi mony lie was a-keJ if he had ever known an other of rnon-y made to the President. He repli< d, with much grave deliberation, that he had, and immediately all the man agers became attentive and prepaied them -elves, in imagination, for another article of impeachment. lie stated that Mr. \\ m. H. Appleton, the publisher, had come to Washington some four or five weeks ago, and signified to the President, through , Newton, that in case of his being convict ed, several gentlemen in New York in tended to present him with a purse of SIOO,OOO in gold, and that the In use of Mr. Appleton would he at his service after he quitted the executive mansion. Incase lie should be acquitted tbe sum to be pre sented would he made *.">O,<'oo. There was nothing impeachable in this, and the j managers got disconsolate, and told the wiiness he might go. — Washington dis patch X. Y. Herald, Hiram Ulysses Grant.

A. JOHNSON. Washington D. C., May 27, 'GB. BUTLER'S INVESTIGATION. —The bribery investigation of Butler was good tor ooe thing. It brought out the fact that, Sena tor Pomeroy otlered to sell bis vote and four others for acquittal, if the President's friends would fork over the change. That failing to get the greenbacks, he and bis four Senatorial palls, voted for conviction.

" All hail, butcher Grant! " says loyality. Radical Corruption. The blustering attempt of Butler, the beast, to badger tbe Republican Senators who voted for the acquittal, by charging them with being influenced by bribery and corruption, met with a sad disaster in the examination of Col. Cooper, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, liis testimony makes sad work with the Senatoiial Im peachers, and proves an unsuccessful at tempt on their part, to make money out of the bluster. Forty thousand dollars was the price ofPomeroy and four mongrel Senators. What Bntler's price wan, has not yet been made public. The lirst witness examined was Colonel Edinond Cooper, Assistant Secretary ot the Treasury. He was asked whether he had been approached on tbe subject of using money for the acquittal of the Pres ident, and made in reply, tbe following astounding and disgiaceful revelation.— Colonel Cooper said that B person pro fessing to act on the authority of Hon. J. C Potm rov, Senator from Kansas, cubing on him, Cooper, and proposed that for $40,000 in hand. Senator l'oiueroy would control four Radical votes in the Senate, and put in his own so as to insure the President's acquittal. When as Colonel Cooper testi fied, he professed to doubt this person's authority, the person produced a li tter from Senator Poineroy dated, day Sin 1 will, in good laitb, carry out any arrangement made with my brother in law, Willis Gay lord, to which I am a par At this juncture in the examination Butler objected to witness's testifying to the substance of the litter, saying that he ( Butler ) would produce it. Then, as Colonel Cooper went on to testify, W Hi-. Guyloid was intioiuced by the per-ori who produced this letter, who read it to the witness and Gaylord, the person who first Called then retired, leaving Colonel Cooper and Gaylord together, thereupon Gaylord renewed the proposition, namely, to secure five votes fur the President, for Mo.UOO. The patronage of the Adminis tration to be thrown in for Pumetoy in the State of Kansas. Colonel Coop- r, having te.-t ficd so far, said lie had believ ed that th s proposition from Senator Pom eroy was inten led te entrap him, and act ing under that belief, be had determined to lead the pat tics on to exposure, lie assigned a reason for that belief. Firs'., that Senator l'omeroy was a strong parti san, that lie felt bitterly towards the Pres ident, and that if money was his object, the party to which he belonged was much moie ab'e to pay than the administration was. Second, the person who appioachcd h rn, Colonel Cooper, with the proportion enumerated, ainong the uan sot Sena tors whom Pom eroy proposed to control, those of Morton, of Indiana, and Nye, of Nevada. Colonel Cooper did not believe it possible that Senator Morton could be bought. Colonel Cooper resumed by stating that the interviews were sought by the persons professing to act for .S nut .r l'omeroy. That letters wore brought showing their authority, tint the terms were not accepted, and that he, the wit ness, had never intended to accept them I'he additional testimony of Colonel Cooper was to the effect that he was not advised of any money having been used 10 influence Senators' votes. When Colonel Cooper's allegations wire brought to the notice of Tbad. Stevens, that good man, according to a current statement, asked : 44 Who were .present in the committee room when Colonel Cooper was examin ed " Having hem told that Butler, Boutwell, and Wilson were there, Mr. Stevens, as the report goes, said : 4 * They arc* a set of tyros. Nobody but a set of tyros would have admitted such testimony. It has knocked llie impeach ment into fits." The erjjone of Senator Pomcroy's prop osition has, in (act, caused a tremendous sensation. The reputation of this paiticu lar Senator from Kansas lias never been too flattering, and, some of his friends allege that 44 he really wanted the money." The Chicago Convention— Small Dodg ers : It is probable that those who prepared the resolutions of the Radical convention thought thev were doing a smart thing in trying to dodge the nigger suffrage ques l.on which they did in the following man ner : Second. The guarrantce of Congress of equal suffrage t<> all loyal men at. the South was demanded by every considera tion of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained ; while the question of suffrage in ail the loyal States properly belongs to the people of these States. Here is a plain assertion that what is a correct principle in the Southern States is not a correct one in northern States ; for, if what they call equal suffrage he a piinciple, it must apply to niggers in the North as well as to those in the South ; and if the question of suffrage properly belongs to the people of States in oue sec tion, it cannot be justly denied to the peo ple of St.ites in another section. A more clumsy effort to get out of a difficulty, which arises from the knowledge of the fact that the northern people will not have nigger suffrage, can hardly b£ imagined. Its stupidity is only equalled by the reasons given for establishing one principle in the South, and allowing the people to establish another in the North ; 44 gratituJe and justice to the niggers." A considerable nnmber of northern nig gers entered the Federal armies during the war, while the southern ones were willingly working on southern plantations to produce subsistence for the rebel armies; and yet we are told that our gratitude should be shown to those who sustained the Confederate forces ; but gratitude does not require us to give suffrage to the nig gers who entered our armies to fight a gainst the rebels. Radical principles are very curious things especially when the liadical party is in 44 a very bad box."— Bradford Argus, Wendell Philips Gives It Up. There is something ominous for the Radical party in Wendell Philips' late speech. It is not that he berates that party and declares that unless it do >o and so it is lost, since this has been the staple of his talk for some years past, but that he seems to consider it so irn-trieveably lost that he will not even put himself to the trouble of giving it good advice. Hereto fore he has been Mentor, pointing out bow the future might redeem the past, but in this last discourse assumes the tone of Casandra, and weeps over the ruins it is given the prophetic eye to see. The pa>t, the past, the past, is the burden of Mr. Philips' elegiac remaiks, and when was it before that this prompt, fi. ry, clear hea ied enthusiast ever poured himself forth by the hour in that species of la mentation which has no parallel but in tears that aie shed over spilt milk ? Ouce he was ready enough to blaze out the way for the party, and sooner or later, it is to the credit of his frantic logic, that pariy toiled on up to the advancid ideas he left in the read for their guidance. Ilut now all is changed The seer is sunk in the crone. Jlr. Philips no longer prophesies. He weeps, and weeps in the fiun persua sion thai liadicoli.-ni has been def. ated in as he well calls it, its " death grapple ; " that the liuhl has been fought and the victory is woB : that his principles have received their death blow, and he is too old to hope to live to see their resurrection.— Wendell Philips foretold secession, and it came; emancipation and it came; and now that he has foretold the overthrow, utter and awful, of the liadidal party, we have only to wait for November to see that this third in his trinity of great predictions is true too. — World.
