IN A DILEMMA,
The servile haste with which the
radicals of our State legislature are
proceeding to obey the edict of the
military President in regard to the
ratifieation of the X Vth Amendment,
is likely to get their party into the
very trouble which they seek to avoid.
The object of the radical polititions is
to obtain a settlement of the suffrage
question, in accordaoce with their own
views and purposes, without permit-
ting the people to have a voice in the

The radical plunder family at Washing-

Senate Radicals held a caucus this morn-
ine, 15th, with reference to the elective of-
ficers of that body, and the result was a per-
fect triumph of the “‘carpet-baggers’’ who
succeeded in ousting the present Sergeant
at-Arms, Mr. Brown, of Illinois, the pare
ticular friend of Senator Trumbull, and
nominating in his place, one J. R. French,
a North Carolina ‘‘earpet-bag’’ Represen-
tative in the last House. This was follows
ed by the nomination of A. T. Clapp, esq.,
of the Buffalo Express, for Congressional
Printer, in place of Defrees, the present in~
cumbent and particular friend of Schuyler
Colfax. This change is attributed to More
ton of Indiana, who has ne love for Colfax
or any of his proteges. The other nemina-
tion was that of a little Yankee named
Morrie. from Connecticui, as Executive
Clerk, in place of Clarke, the present in-
cumbent. Altogether, this day's caucus
work has given rise to a great deal of dis-
satisfaction in the Radics) camp, and as
small as the affair is, it indicates the utter
demoralization of the party, which is o
ing to the dogs’ as fast as it can possibly
go. “Grant's administration being a failure
at the outset, and the Congressional mana-
wers fighting each other like so many *Kil-
enney cats,’ it is not difficult to foretell
the calamity which will befall the whole
crew ere the expiration of the current year.
