The Rollins Imbroglio. The following sharp response of Secre tary McCullougli to the insolent and lying letter ot Rollins, (Radical) Commissioner of Internal Revenue, we take from yester day's daily paper. It is a complete refu tation of the charges made by Commission er Rollins in his pretended letter of resig nation. This Rollins is a mere tool of the Jacobin party, and as such, has lent him self to its dirty work. lie lias endeavor ed, by falsehood, to bolster up the sinking cause of his party, but has utteily failed in his first attempt: "This communication is partial, because it attributes the present deranged con dition of the Internal Revenue service to removals and appointments made by the President, while it must be clear to tbe mind of the Commissioner that this de moralization is attributable in part to an tagonism between the Executive and the Legislative branches of the Government, which has prevented harmony of actiou between them in regard to appointments, and to the Tenure of Office act,but mainly to the high duties upon distilled spirits, tobacco, &c., which have created an irre sistible temptation to fraud on the part of revenue officers as well as on the part of manufacturers, dealers, and others. u Il is incorrect, in that it alleges that numerous recommendations of the Com missioner for the removal of Assessors and Collectors, even for the grossest miscon duct, had been always disregarded, while the truth is that in all cases in which rcc omendations for removals were accompa nied by evidence of incompetency and misconduct or. the part of officers, the rec omendations were promptly responded to by the President. '•lt is unjust and disrespectful to the President, because the records of the Bureau show that the falling off of revenue in districts in which removals were made by the President in 'G6 was not compara tively greater than in districts in which no change took place ; that, in fact, the rev enues of the fiscal year ending June 30th. 1867, during which removals were made, were entirely satisfactory, coming np very closely to the liberal estimates of the De partment, while the demoralization of the service and the decline cf the revenues have chiefly occurred during the present fiscal year, long after the officers remjved by the President had been rcinsiated or others whose nomination had been approv ed by the Senate had taken the places of the appointees of the President. "It was for these reasons, and no other, that the communication could not be re ceived, and was returned to the Commis sioner. The return of it is also justified by the fact that copies of it were sent to the press before it was handed to the Sec retary. It must, therefore, have been in tended for the public rather than for the files of the Department." ANOTHER TARTAR CACOHT— Examining Thnrlow Weed before the Smelling Com mittee, in an effort to draw from him some confession damaging to the Senators who voted for Mr. Johnson'* acq littal, Butler asked, "Do you know of any money contrib uted for political purposes ?" 4 'l do sir. I helped lo raise $30,000 not long ago for such a purpose."—Butler, all alive to fur ther developments, continued: "\ou will state to the Committee what use was made of it" "It was used,'replied Weed, "to en able the Republicans to carry tbe New Hampshire election." That was a blos som from a sour apple, and a suddeo ad journment of the Committee was the con sequence ot its introduction by Mr Weed. GRANT REPCUIATED AT HIS ILLINOIS HOME —At an election held in Galena,the home ot Grant.cn Tuesday weekjust elev en days after his nomination, the entire .straight Democraic ticket was elected by 300 majority I As at his Washington home, and in Oregon on the day previous,"Grant and Colfax"was the rallying cry of the Re publicans,but "the will of the people" was recorded iu favor of Democracy and Consti tutional goverument. The Radical Leader* of 1860 and 1869 Contrasted. * . A moment's glance at the present situa tion of the Radical party, will serve to show its contrast between its condition in iB6O and 1868. Among the conspicuous members of the Republican Convention of 1860 were such men as Fiancis 11. Blair, Wm. M. Evarts, and a host of others embodying the talent and the respectabili ty of the Convention —a majority of whom are now ranked among the most decided opponents of the Radicals. In the Chica go Convention of this year, there were four prominent candidates for the Presidential nomination —Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Bates. The last act of Lincoln's life was to originate and adopt the policy of John son. Bates abandoned the present Radi ical organization before Lincoln died; Seward is an active enemy of Radicalism, and if there is one man in the United States whom the Radicals of to-day hate more bitterly thaft Andrew that man is Salmon P. Chase. Then Chase, and Trumbull, and Fessenden, and Grimes, and Doolittle, and Dixon, and Stansbury and a host of other great names were in the ranks of the Republicans. Now, they are either acting openly with the Democ racy, or are read out of the Radical party by the hot heads who control it. Nor is this all that is noticeable. While the statesmen of the Republican party have abandoned Radicalism, the vicious and treacherous elements of the Democratic party have entered its fold. The parly which became too corrupt for Chase and Doolittle, Bates and Evarts, has demon strated its Rtfinity for Butler and Logan, Stanton and Dan Sickles. The leaJers of the Republican party to-day—the men who have Grant in their keeping—were clam orous for secession in 1860, and justified the Southern States in resorting to arms to repel the exercise of Federal power.— Now Butler, Logan, Stanton, and Dan Sickles are blatant Radical demagogues, and are accorded the highest positions of honor in the party that so recently despis ed them. They take the places once oc cupied by Seward, Chase, Trumbull, Stan bery, and others like them.— Albany Ar gus. The Prospect. Under this caption the Tribune of Wed nesday sets forth what may be considered its strongest hope for electing General Grant this fall. The States that it claims as absolutely certain for Grant arc the following: Arkansas 5 Minnesota 4 Florida 3 Missosipj.i 6 Georgia 8 New Hampshire.. 5 Illinois 16 North Carolina-• • 9 lowa 8 Kbode Island 4 Kansas 3 South Carolina... (5 Louisiana p Tennessee 10 Maino 7 Vermont....... •• 5 Massachusetts 12 West Virginia •• •• 5 Michigan 8 Wisconsin 9 Total 20 States 139 votes. In addition to these it must have "either Pennsylvania or Ohio, or Indiana with Nebraska or Nevada," in order to get the requisite numbet of elcctorial votes to se cure the election. It will thus be seen that the newly " re constructed "' States arc the ones which the Jacobins rely upon to carry the elec tion, and heuce their desperate efforts to get President Johnson out of the way, so that Congress and the carpet-baggers may have full sway in the South. If these 44 reconstructed " States here enumerated —in which every one knows that not one ir. fifty of the rightful voters will vote the Jacobin ticket—are allowed to be so man ipulated by Congress as to cast a deciding vote in favor of the Jacobins, it will be the greatest political outrage ever perpetrated iu any country ; and if the Conservatives acquiesce in a Jacobin victory obtained by such transparent fraud and chicanery, they will be equally responsible with the Jaco bins for the final overthrow of Republi can institutions in this country.—MiJdle toibn Mercury. Chief Justice Chase cm t'le Situation. The following is an extract from a pri vate letter written by Chief Justice Chase : I am amazed by the torrent of invec tives by which I am drenched. Almost everything alleged fact is falsehood out of the whole cloth. Where au allegation has a littte fact in it the fact is so perver ted and travestied that it becomes false hood. I know no motive tor all this ex cept disappointment that impeachment has not thus far proved a success, coupled with a belief that I have done something to prevent it being a success. I have not been a partisan of impeachment certainly, but I have not been a partisan on the other side. As presiding officer over the trial my conscience testifies that I have been strictly impartial; and lam sure that any one who reads the report will say so. In dividually I have my convictions and opin ions, but I have very 6eldom given utter ance to them. Indeed. I do not think that the case, in any of its aspects, has been the subject of conversation between myself and more than four or five Sena tors, and then only casually and briefly.— No Senator will say that I have sought to influence him. The real ground of denunciation is that I have not been a partisan of conviction ; and tbis denunciation 1 am willing to bear. They may denounce and abuse me and read me out of the party if they choose. I follow my old lights, not the new. tW Ben. Butler made himself famous in New Orleans by his war on women, and to keep iiis exploits fresh in the minds of the people has commenced persecuting Miss Vinnie lieam,an accomplished young sculp tress in Washington, whom Congress com missioned some time ago to make a statue of President Lincoln. After failing to get her to use her influence with Senator Boss to go for convicting the President,they have assailed her character, and have ordered her out of her studio in the basement of the capitol, and thus destroyed ber model, which cannot be removed. What a pitiful spectacl the American Congress presents ! Galena, the home of General Grant, answersd the voice of Oregon by electing the whole Democratic ticket, on Friday last, by three hundred majority. Every election that takes place points to one re sult—a crushing defeat of the Badical par ty and iu expediency candidate in Novem ber next. Colfax on Free Speech. In bis letter of acceptance Schuyler Col fax says : "If tbsre bod been no Republican party, a free press and free speech would be ss unknown from the Potomac to the Rio Orande as ten years ago." Perhaps, says the llarri6burg Patriot, Schuyler has not heard of the doings of the military Satraps in the South during the past year. Undoubtedly be is ignorant that an editor in Tennessee and another iu South Carolina were lately imprisoned for strictures published upon military govern ment ; that several others have been com pelled to relinquish their positions upon notice from the military authorities that free speech is a crime ; that scores of newspapers have been warned to cease op position to the "reconstruction" acts or be closed up. He does not know, probably, that judges have been dragged to prison for refusing to empanel uegro juries ; that all public officers have been debarred from the right to speak in opposition to the Af ricanization acts of the Rump ; that thous ands of white men have been rejected from the registry lists for electioneering for a white man's government and that negroes have been mobbed, beaten and murdered by loyal rnobs for daring to speak for and vote the Democratic ticket. Of course he has forgotten (Radicals have short memo ries, yon know,) the reign of terror which existed during 1862-3 4, during which time more than one hundred Democratic news paper offices were mobbed and destroyed, and scores of editors thrown into prison and their papers suppressed,excluded from the mails, Jcc., because tliey dared to pub lish the truth. He never heard the tinkle of the little bell, which sent hundreds of honest and guiltless men to dungeons for the "crime" of telling the Radical despots and plunderers they were hypocrites and scoundrels, and that they were dragging the country down to the ruin and degre dation which it is now so rapidly ncaring Certainly Mr. Colfax never knew or heard of these circumstances or he would not at tempt to impose upon the American peo ple so palpable an untruth as the above. The Radical Double-faced Platform. The Chicago Republican platform, on the two leading questions of the day—the money question and the negro suffrage question —is a thing of two faces, yea, we may sav, of four. On the money question it has a face looking East and a face look- West ; and on the negro suffrage question it has a face looking South and a face looking North. We have shown that on the national debt this double-faced plat form may be claimed by Butler as calling for greenbacks, arid by Greeley as demand ing gold for the five-twenties. On negro suffrage thus reads this two-faced platform. "That the guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every consideration of pub lic safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained ; while the question ot suffrage in all the loyal States properly be longs to the people of those States.'' 'J his is a shabby backdown from the grand Rad ical ideas of "universal suffrage." impar tial suffrage,and "equal rights." Con gress, having forced universal negro suf frage upon the late Itebel Southern States, is bound to maintain it over them ; but Ohio and New York last fall, and Michi gan tl|js spring, having each, by a heavy popular majority repudiated universal ne gro suffrage, Congress will not touch nor do anything for their colored populations. Mr. Senator Sumner's bill providing by act of Congress for universal negro suffrage over all the States must be held for a more convenient season, and Wendell Phillips are left to mourn over or revult against the treachery of the Chicago Convention. The genuine equal rights Radical, North and South, if no double dealers themselves with Sambo, will show their scorn by put ting an independent Presidential ticket in the field without loss of time,— New York Herald Practical Application of Radioal Policy. It is reported that a gentleman, a Dem erol, living in the southern part of this county, being desirous of illustrating the beauties of Radicalism, and testing the sin ceritv of its votaries and advocates, invited a certain Radical to his bouse to stay over night with him, and at the same time in vited a " man and brother " to pass the night under his hospitable roof. Bed-time arriving, our Democratic friend took a light and conducted the " brother "to the room and pointed out the bed he was to occupy. Soon after, the Radical gentleman desired to retire, and our friend also conducted hint to the same room, and informed him that be was to occupy the same bed. Who is in tbat bed ? " asked the Rad ical. < Mr ," was the answer. " What! That nigger?" indignantly exclaimed the Radical ; " you don't sup pose I am going to sleep with him, do you ? " " I most certainly do, " was the quiet reply. " You voted to force this state of affairs upon me aud my people, and took and subscribed an oath that you would grant the nigger every " privileged and immunity" enjoyed by any class of per sons, and ( producing a six-shooter ) by the Eternal you shall carry out your poli cy—go in there with you !

Grant against the Jews 7 " or " Why did he issue that notorious proclamation driving all Jews and other vagabonds sut side his encampment I " And, not having seen published any satisfactory answer, I will give jou what I suppose to be the real cause of his dislike of the Jews. Daring the winter of 1859 and 18G0, while Grant was living at Gsleaa, he took into his head to commence business on his own hook ; and thinking there was a speculation in buying drpssed hogs and shipping them to Chicago he came down to the town of Bellevue, lying some 12 miles southwest on the we*t bankot the Mississippi, for the purpose of buying of farmers as they caine in town with their pork, and having it haulod to Galena, and there shipped on the railroad to Chicago, or in any other way disposed of so as to make a profit, which was a very honorable, and if managed understanding!)-, could have been a profitable business. There lived at that time in Bellevue a man by the name of Ro senthal, who was a Jew, and who was in the pork trade, and, of course, would be glad to keep the trade in his own hands ;so he de termined, if possible, not to givo Grant much of a chance, and the first two or throe loads of pork, were bid up far beyond its real value and finally sold to Grant. By this time Kosenthal discovered that Grant knew no difference between the price of light and heavy hogs, when, in reality, there is a difference of at least one dollar per hundred, —heavy hogs being worth one dollar the most,—the hogs already purchased being light, and he having paid the lull price for heavy hogs. So Rosen thai goes to his warehouse ; selects out all his light h >gs, enough to load two or three wagons ; gets some farmers who had wood racks on their wagons to load on the hogs, drive out of town by another street, snd come in on the main road to the corner where they were buying. Rosenthal meets ihetn by an* other street, snd commencjd bidding against Grant, and, after bidding the p rk up to the full value of heavy pork, it wa* sold to Grant But the joke, or " sell being too good to keep, it was not half an hour before every* body nearly was splitting with laughter to see how the Jew had sold the Galena pork buyer ; which so di-gnsteJ Grant that be went home that night, and was never seen in Bellevue after. And that transaction so em bittered him against the old tribes ot Israel that I doubt whether he could now be recon ciled. And this is undoubtedly the whole caue of the expulsion of Jews from his camp. Chicago Times. The Secretaryship of the Senate. Forney, afier inflicting a moral odium on the Senate which any jury would assess at more than §4O 000 damages, has at last been weeded out. Various men have aspired to his place. Among tliem Creswell, of Mary land. lb: was a secessionist in 1801, and afterward became a torch and turpentine tramp. He took advice and withdrew. His record as a Senator is of too recent memory to make hi association tolerable even to the Rump. Fulton, of the Baltimore American, loomed up His paper led the applause for Maishall Kane when Federal Soldiers wtre killed in Baltimore, April 10, 18gl, and he uiged making Baltimore a Moscow, bef-ro yielding it to Northern occupation, ot allow ing Union soldiers to march through it to Washington. He afterwards became " loy al "in a night before coercion, just as Ben nett duf in the Heral'l. Since then he has been the most radical of Radicals. But reported to be a strict pecuniary proto type of Forney, he was contumaciously re jected. Burbrtdge of Kentucky wauled the place. Butler and Bingham laid pipe for him. Probably his backers defeated him.— The memory of the murdered Mumford anil the " blood of an innocent woman" attach ing to Burbridge'a supporter*, made the Sen ate think of the defenceless Confederate sol diers, twelve in all, whom this man shot in cold blood one Summer morning near Lex ington. The Senate declined the infamy of Ins r> corderslup'by one vote, not willing, af ter the experience of Forney, to take Bur bridge, albeit with ao scriptural an injunc tion as " let him that stole steal no more." Thesa are the defeated candidates. A sorry list, unless compared with the majority of 'ho elt-c'ors wtio defeated them, only to elect on# even more in their own likeness. This man is Gorham He belonged to California till that State gave him a forcible invitation to leave last year. It may or may n<>t be remembered that Governor Haight defeated him at the last election. A packed conven tion nominated him. Every decent Repub lican paper in lite country, including the New York I'osl and Times, and several indecent journals of the same politics, among them the 77 flume, denounced his nomination as dis gracelul. California papers sang in the same key. A third man, and an honest, Mr. Bid well, was run against him Governor Ilaight had the pleasure of defeating both by a ma jority of 8,000. Repudiated by his State, political putrescence buoyed him to Washing ton. There be has conOnuod the courses of lobbyists and what not that made it healthy for him for to change his residence. The man and paper have to be found that have braved public sentiment by praising him lie sit• where Forney sat, the second officer of the Senate of the United States, in the year of moral ideas, 18g8. Should not Mr. Cameron's Committee on Drficils in the Sec retary's Accounts be continued.— World. At the late Methodist Conference, which assembled at Chicago, the Rev.Mr. Waldo introduced the following resolution: "That all government is based upon the re ligious ideas of those who carry it on,and that the Northern Methodist have acquired bv conquest the right to control the religion of the South. That it is just as wrong to allow the Southern Methodists to meet and wor ship in their ways as it would be to allow Lee and dohnson to call together and drill their armies again. 1 hey will soon be pro hibited from so doing. The religion of the North is bound to rule this continent and it proposes to make a proper application of our Bible to all the Southern States and people. A subjugated people have no more right to apply their own peculiar moral ideas,than to use their physical implements of war." We have not the patience to comment on thisinfamous thing. We almost wish we knew how to blaspheme like old Ben Wade that we might swear at it. But this is the de graded level to which the religion and pol itics of this country are descending under the reign of the African barbarian party. fgT An admirer of Thad.

BEVERLY NASII SLFCBBED BY A UNITED STATES OFFICER.—A gentleman of high standing sends us the following facts from Columbia: A few days ngo Nash bad ascertained to his satisfaction that he was elected to the Senate, be called upon Major Andrews the Commandant of the Post, to pay his com pliments. On entering the room where the Major was seated, he spoke, giving him the time of the day, when the Major rejoined ; " Who are you, and what do you want ?" He replied ; M My name is Nash sir." " Well," says the Major, "what of that ? " " Oh, sir. '' said he, " I am Bev erly Nash, Senator elect to the State Leg islature of South Carolina, and have call ed upon you officially to pay my compli ments as such." * Well, sir, 1 neither pive nor receive compliments from niggers.'' But says Nash, " I am not a nigger, I am colored ." The Major brought the whole matter to a speedy and final close by say - ing : " You are a nigger, sir, and as black a one as J ever saw. I recognize but three races, and these are whites, Indians and niggers." — Charleston Mercury, COLFAX A KSOW-NOTIIING.—CoIfax, the Radical candidate for Vice President, is a politician by trade, and has always l>een notorious in Indiana as a chronic of fice beggar. 11c was an original Ivnow- Nothing, and as such was elected to Con gress, being otie of the most bitter and loud-mouthed defamers of our foreign born fellow-citizens.

TIIE FKKKDMAS'S BIKF.U - . —A bill asking a continuation of tbe Negro Poor Houses in the South, for the benefit ot our black biethern and equals, was deba ted in tbe Senate, and will of course be passed. This is the way a Radical Con gress retrenches the expenses of the Gov ernment and lightens the burdens of the people, by appropiating millions of dollars annually to support and clothe a lot of ignorant, lazy niggers, in order that tbey may secure their votes. Let it be remembered by the people, that a Radical Congress is appropiating j'early, a suin of money, for party purposes aud party good only, that nearly equals the entire expenses of the government when under Democratic control.

Said tbe Tribune, editorially August 17, 1867: " Probably General Grant can af " ford to be a deaf and dumb candidate, "but this country cannot afford to elect a " deaf and dumb President." TIIE RUIN OF RADICALISM—The West rejects Radicalism. Oregon joins hands with California. The East repudiates it. Chase and the Radical Senators desert the the rotten cause. It is doubtful, if even Massachusetts can be carried for Grant and Colfax in November next. Weston,the walkist,is to take anoth er big tramp. This time he goes from Bangor, Maine,to St Paul Minnesota, and returns to Buffalo, New York, making in all five thousand miles, to be comleted in one hundred consecutive days.
