OF
'fur. Radical Papers Miniiunce with a
grand flourish of trumpets that the Retail&
cans at'llilton Head, South Carolina, have
Just succeeded In electing a Justice of the
Peace. How the result was won may easi
ly he understood by thoie who know how
the system of Registration works in the
South. - Two-thirds of the white people
there (embracing all the better class) are dis
franchised, and the suffrage is entirely
in the hands of the negroes. Titus at Mont
gomery, Alabama, up to the 9.5 th j s - the
total untidier of persons registered wa53,948,
of whom 3,000 were negroes and only 948
whites In Savannah, Georgia, the regis
tration showed" 221 negro voters and roily
59 whites, or nearly four to one: Informa
tion front other localities leads us to believe
that till.: will be the proportion in nearly
every btate of that ttutbriuttatc section, and
it need not surprise our reader, therefore,
to hear Radical victories reported in Am:A
imee from that directioM The nde hope rof

PENNSYLVANIA TO' BE LOST TO THE
RADICALS. }
A coriespondent of the N. Y. Herald fur
nishes an account of an interview he re
cently had wi,fn the great Radical agitator,
Thaddeus Stevens, at the lwtue, if the latter,
in Ltheaider city. The conversation wan
dered over a' wide range, and among other
topics discussed was the probability as to the
result of t rim election, in New York and
Pennsylvania,tlfo. fall. Stevens, the writer
says, believes that New York will surely be
lost to the 11:4 — eals, and is, by no Ineans,
eonfelent of the Keystone Snte. We copy
the conversation in full upon the Pettl-Kylva
nia theme :
"question—ls the Itcpuhlit an party Well
united in Pennsylvania?
• Stevens—l tear that Ave shall low Penn
,ylvania this next election. I.do not think
we have earrutness yllOllOl hi the State ti
unite and draw out the republican strength.
While the republican portion of our Legisla•
lure has Leen. so openly, notoriously and
shanteftilly corrupt.that all the honest in the
State are disheartened and disgusted.,
"Question—You do not suppose that poi
eau beat New York in corruption, do you?
"Mr. Stevens —I think we could. Cameron
had his men with their handfulls ofgrcenbacks
working in the Legislatufe. He had not four
teen votes in his favor at the close of the el
ection, but soon after he had forty. One man
now claims *50,000 for services, and they re
fuse to pay Lim. This corruption kill cer
tainly- beat us here next election, unless we
draw out the republican strength by getting
up a furor and excitement on impeachment.
Geary, too, hurts us very much. He is an.mv
huiTy failure, and his nomination at as an un
thrtunate thing for the party."
THE JULY_ SESSION
In consequence of patting our paper b),
were - WI:WC tai state whether a fittorum of
the members of Congress would be present
or not owthe :Jd inst. We regret to be com
pelled to announce that the agitators were
entirely successful—a majority Of both houses
answc:ring to - their names on the day fixed for
a;semblini. No message was sent in by the
President, as cu4tomary, and tieldier house
La been respectful enough to notify him offi
cially that it is in t•eqsion.
The revolutionary designs of the Radical
majority were - disclosed at an early stage of
the proceedings, when the members elect
front Kentucky presentM themselves to he
swum in. These gentlemen, as-is well known,
lire all Democrats, elected by majorities
amounting, in the aggregate to - 30,000 votes.
and their Certificates are in every particular
regular and legal. - But, they were met upon
the, threshold. as it were, by trumped-up
charges or" dislnt-altY," and aftera debate of
an himr or two, refused athni,ion, under a
re-:011111°n offered by Schenck, of Ohio,' and
amended by Logan. of Illinois: and their
a se referred to the. Committee on bections,
by whom, of course, it will be hung up,"
for six:months, at least, if not for
_the whole
if the present. term. And thus, contrary to ,
almost invariable precedent—under which
inetitlx l rs holding credentials that gave them
ttiaiinof fife& right to seats, were admitted for
the time being., leaving the question tic to
their eligibility, ST., to be afterwards decided

t - na /mans Dectrtratioik Of Mt',
Prvle•Ri :
When, iu the course of Immau'ev cuts, it
become., necu-sary for the people to declare
their.ah-oluliou front the error, of judgment
which have huh:fait them to give their pre
ference foronerpoliticak_Rarty - over another,
and to assirtne to - themselves the• powers
which that party is seeking to prostitute to
Its own selfish ends, a decent revert thr
themselves, and a proper regard for thel in
terests of their country, require that they
should announce the causes which impel
them to the choice of a different set of lead
ers and measures.
We hold these truths to be self-evident:—
that there are but two great political organi
zations in the nation—the Democratic and
_Radical; that the first of these is in ihvor of
a restoration of the Union ut the earliest pos
sible day, of bringing back the Government
to an economical administration, and reliev
ing the people of the fearful burden of taxa ,
tion ; that the - 4)4her .postliones the 'unity of
the nation, in order to perpetuate its hold up
on the offices of tht -- conntry , that
ty of extravagance, of Infocrisy, of terror
and of lawlessnesS,Prudence, indeed, would
have dictated that for the many and heluOit's
offences against justice and liberty which the
Radical party has been guilty of, the masses
should long ago have risen in their might arid
dethroned it as unworthy their confidence ;
but, unfortunately for the welfare of the na
tion, it has been enabled by the free use of
paper money, and the liberal dispensation of
thousands of newly created - offices, to blind
the people to a sense of their true condition,
and make them more disposed to seek to ad
vance their material interest's,' thin to look
with a keen regard to the omens of_ the fu
tun.. All history hath shown that mankind
everywhere are ready to shut their eyes to
the evils in the distance, in their zeal for hit
mediate prosperity ; that they will rush cra
zily into debt without counting the means or
the difficulty of payment; and that with a
very great proportion an idea hasinore influ
ence than a plain and positive filet. put when
the day of settlement comes—wiled, after an
era of inflation and fictitious value7they find
their tntsine•ss destroyed, their pmperty de
preciated, their taxes trebled, their purses
empty, their country well nigh.ruined,.a pe
riod of inflection sets in, and they never-fail
to repay with awful retribution the anthOrs
of their misfortunes. Such hasbeen*the sad
experience or this people, and such is now
the pressing necessity which.constrains them
to withhold their' countenance from
the organization which has led them, into
tltese deplorable troubles. The history of the
Radical party is a history-of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct object
the establishment of an absolute tyranny over
these States. To prove this; let facts be,sub
milted to a candid wbrid

soldiers tosomplete the work of death, tleso ,
lation and tyranny, already begun with cir
eumstance , of cruelty and perfidy scarcely
paralleled in the most barbarous ages,and to
tally unworthy of a civilized nation. '

should commit on the inhabitants of these
States.
For enacting tariff laws a onerous in their
nature as to -cut off a. large portion of our
trade with other parts of the

of history, and proved that no nation gov-
erned as ours has been the last five years could
long retain the respect of its own, people or
that of the world. We have Shown them
that the system of lavish experiditure . and
shocking corruption that has prevailed must
eventually lead to overwhelming taxation;
and the creation of a debt that would hang
like a blight upon ourselves and our posteri
ty. We have reminded them that we once
had a : written - Constitution ;,that its•provi

of the world - for the rectitude of our inten-
fions, and valuing the happiness amp pros
parity of the country above all selfish person
al or parti= interests, do, in the name and
liy'the authority vested in us, deCliire that
the Radical party has tidied to fulfill its prom
ises; that it has. been a cheat nod a scandal
upon the very mune or liberty- from the day
of its inception down to the lag hour of its
existence that it bas done more to-destroy
confidence in a Republican limn of govern
ment 'than all of earth's emv-ned despots

HOW TO PAS' OPP THE DEBT
threatens SOCM to absorb_ all other questions
and is MI element which must seriously dis
turhyolitical calculations. The heavy tax
ation to which the people arc subjected i
daily becoming more oppreN,ive, and al
sorts of expedients are suggested :Ls meas
ures of relief. Amiing the latest• ideas put
afloat is the following one - , eras - idled
in a petition which is now having - alarge
circulation in the West:
To the Senate bad Jh,axe of
Co?igrtxs tzs,vernbrul
Your petitioners would respectfully repre
sent: That a large portion pf the interest
bearing obligations of the United States are
now due; tliat a_ great portion of them are
held by National banks and other himilar
stitutions, as a basis for their circulation,
thus causing the government to pay interests
upon the circulation it "gives to the people ;
that the Interest thus paid is the lwest
weight Upon the people of ,the country, and
prevents the speedy reduction of the .14:ation
a1 debt.
That these bondstwere bought at pin. with
Lep' tender notes, and shoidd be paid at par
with legal tender notes; that the eirenlation
of the Ciaffitry is not sufficient for" the busi
ness. thereof, particitlarly if the Nntional bank
notes were withdrawn.
'We
therefore respectfully petitihn for the
passage of a law authorizing the immediate
issue of tega I tender notes sufficient to pay off
and redeem all the intetest-bearing obliga
tions of the United States that • arc now re
deemable at the pleasure of the government;
and that said obligations be declared to bear
interest no longer than the offer of the gov
eniment to redeem them in said' legal ten
der notes and also that provisions be
made to thus reticent all such ()Mfg:Wong of
the United States awfast as they become re
deemable.
THE press of the country is almost unani

waoton and needless piece of cruelty, which
not justified by anything lie did, orby any

TEItIPEAt JUNCE MOVEMENTS.
Legal penalties have never suppressed
drunke'nness. Therefore, the „wisest, policy
of the civil authority seems to be to permit.
and yet control and restrain within the least
injurious limits, the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors. NO rights are impaired
.by the general discontinuance of the Sun
.day traffic, but the quiet and order of the
community' are greatly promoted. The cloi
ing of public; bars from Saturday night to-
Monday morning is producing a lumeficial
effect in New York. An excise system, ju
diciously and 'firmly enforced, is about all,
except tinge police arranOments for the sup
pression of disorder, the laiv can dn. -
The appetite for stimulants is insatiable.
After long restraint, the craving for intoxi
cating drinks reneivi.its victims, and sulijcas
them to an overthiew so complete that no
one would suppis , o. there had ever been a
reform. Men in every age and clime have
discovered and used some article of the kind.
The plants that grow spontaneously around
the :savage, us well as the grain of husbandry,
and the prpeess of science, furnish abundant
mean , . of procuring what is so generally es
teemed. Tea, cotli-e, tobacco, opium, alco
hol. are the• most common articles in civil
ized countries, but by.nomeatissomprise the
list of forms - and grades of the elements con-
Ming the stimulating principle.
So extensive is the, demand, for liquors
that it is Well known to procure no mean
revenue to the State, whilst ill)lllellse.`for
tunes are made "lay the manufacture and -ale
of them. The revenue - laws of the federal
government impose ti heavy tau upon the
Manufacture and the sale, and in all, .the
States there prevails, with various moditlea
dons, what is known as the. license system.
Perms mann"- in these articles are subject
ed to a fee according to the kind of traffic—
wholesale, retail or tavern;-- mid a license
costs more than one for the sale of any other
articles. This may be considered as a sort
of protest against the exclusive use of them_
and an ackiiowledgenient by - legislators of
the irresistible force of the appetite that cre-`
ates the deinand. The higher the pricebe
come:, the greater Isthe',idnitcration, whilst
the consumption is but 'slightly affected by
quality orprice, Indeed, all restrictive leg
islation-haq failed to control the &M end'
The Maine law has proved a failure. Eva

rascality -and laWlessness, but Showing the
strength of the popular appetite,,are innu
merable and _concealment, artifice and
n.‘uu at+ added to drunkenness and Its asso•

of Massachusetts on - 'the subject. Its "pro

lionesses weredmetwinto the ring, when Mr..
Charles White, the keeper, entered it to-ex
hibit his control- over the ferocious !mists.
The animals are all full grown, young and
active—in short ahe,best specimens of their

White, however, - having Mil. confidences in
his power to control. them,.entered with ens_
tire fearlessness, and began to put the beast:
through their paces. All proceeded well for
a time, but - at length! one of the lions began
to be fractions and disobedient, whereupon
Mr. White struck tim two or three blows
with a liip.* Sudd niv'ihe animal made a
spring and seized Mr. White by the shoulder
with his teeth, Shaking Maras a slog r wonht
a cat and finally throwing him on las back
upon the floor of the cage. A thrill of hor

awaited In silence the result :. and others
rushed into the ring,-vaguely and' vainly ho-.

the fate which apparently awaited him.
Meanwhile Mr. White cooly nit ailed :he is
sue. He was helpless for the moment, the
lion, with bialt fore paws upon his breast,
holding him down and retaining his shoul
der with those terrible jaws. The - angry
growls of the ferocious beatt 'were frightful
and he was evideutly determined toanake the
most of his opportunity. Mr. Noyes, one 4
the proprietors of the circus, haPpenlal form

to part company with his dangerous compan

the material to yield a point. lie was terri

etrated his shoulder deeply and lacerated the
flesh in- a shocking nuumer, besides crushing
the bones so ad to render the leftdrm ammo
useless. Despite his suffering's: and the OM

llClfqnnanee to the end. Luckily the rage of
the other lion'and lionesses had not been ex
cited, and he had only one real enemy to fear.
