'FFIERSDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1807.
GRANT OPENS MS 310i7TH AT LAST.
The Radicals having been 'driven to the
necessity of finding a scape-goat for their po
litical sins in: the person of Gen. Grant ns
their - candidate for the Presidency, have
-sought, hitherto in vain, to wheedle him into
the folly of chmmitting himself to their prin
ciples. At last they have succeeded. They
have fairly caught him in their tolls. It Is
now stated op the highest Radical authority,
that, "tome weeks ago a distinguished Radi
cal politician talked with Gen. Grant about
the flattering prospect of the Republican
party, with thC view of obtaining seine im
pression; but, on the conclusion of his re
marks, Grant coolly said,' What do you think
of Marshal Brown's slut's pups?'" This
shows; beyond the reach of a peradventure,
that . Gen. Grant is sound on the Radical
tgoose ; and if we can find out just what that
• distinguished Radical politician" said about
. Marshal Brown's "pups," we shall knoW
. all about the political . opinions, not only of
Gen. Grant himself, but of the whole Radi
cal party. We shall no lonocr lie compelled
to tight as those who beat the air ; but must
make up our minds to meet the valiant hosts
of our adversaries as they stand defiantly
upon the "purp" platform, and do the best
we can. With some misgicing4, we neeep i t
the situation.
TILE NATION'S DISGRACE
We think it is perfectly safe to say that a
large majority of those who have habitually
voted thd Republican ticket in Pennsylva
nia, are filled with disgust us they read the
accounts of the Virginia and Georgia elec
tions. They cannot help seeing that there is
nothing but danger -and disgrace to he ex-
peCted from such proceedings. They must
know and feel that the States which are thus
subjected to the rule of the most ignorant
find degraded specimens of an inferior race,
must be a tlangertus - element in the Repub
lic. Itmeeds no argument to show, no array
• of fitcts' . to demonstrate, even to the most
thoughtle;s, that the political and martial in
terests of the entire nation are being intiV•ril
ed by the mad course of the fanatics in Con
gregs. No one State eau be strie - en with
out the wound beiv felt by all. 'en States
of this :Union cannot be given - er to the
rule of barbarian negroes and t. i t rest re
main free and proverons. As we might we
expect the human body to continue in
health and*igor with-an arm crushed or a
leg paralized.
THE RADICAL ELEPHANT
An exchange well remarks that the Radi
cal leaders have a monstrous elephant on
Their hands in the person of.retf. Davis. They
want to try him, and they don't want to try
him. _After all the fuss and blow that
has been made on the.sUbject by the Riess, on
the stump, and in Congress, they feel ashamed
to discharge him, and thereby admit that all
their talk has been mere gasconade, for the
purpose'of keeping up the ill-feeling against
the South. They are afraid to bring him to
trial, for fear that Chief Justice Chase will
hold on The bench what he has repeatedly
argued while in oilier official positions, in fa
vor of Davis, on all tin; lee'al questions pre
sented in the cas(!, If Davis is acquitted,
Chase's chances for the Presidency have
; gone up. If he is convicted it will have to
'be accomplished by the ruling of the Chief
Justice, - who will' thereby stultify himself,
and thus lessen the chances of success. Some
.
thirig, however, must he done to make a show
of_ bringing him to trial. Chase has notified
Judge Underwood that he Will be on hand
nut tha IIC canti a otraffitiff
long
er than the first of December, as his presence
will be required at that time on the bench of
the Supremer Court at Washington. This is
a new dodge. Judge Chase knows very well
that the time,he fixes,which . he can devote to
I the trial of the case, tivilJ hardly he sufficient
to arrange the necessary preliminaries—em
panneling the itify, &c. By the time all
this is gone through with, the first Monday
in, December will have arrived, and the Chief
Justice will then. take his departure for
Washington, leaving the labor and the 2r
vonsibility on Judge Underwood, the Dis
trict Judge, who is Radical enough for any
thing. Judge Chase, by this cunning pro
gramme, will have,accomplished two things.
He will have made the country believe he
would preside at the trial, and, in the second
, place,ayoid all responsibility,whatev'er its re
ult may be.
THE GOVEWNMENT_PREPARING TO
PROTECT ITSELF.
Sonic two weeks 'ago there appeared in
Forney's Washington Chronicle an editorial,
in which it was stated that. there are nearly
two full colored regiments in the District of
Columbia, and.suggesting that the tine; may
come when they may- be essential in over
throwing the Administration. The attention
of the President being called to this state-
Went, and decides this, numerous communi
cations having beenisent to him from various
quarters of thi: South, setting forth that
armed organizations of colored persons were
forming and in sonic instances threatening
the lives of white citizens, the matter was re
ferred to the Secretary of War, ad interim,
consideration, and- information respecting
these organizations and the authority under
which they were raised. From official sources
it is learned that no authority for organizing
such companies has been giVen through the
War Department, . though two applications
had be - en received, which were disapproved
by General Grant, who deemed it inexpedi
ent to authorize militia organizations in the
'District of Columbia. As these organizations
are deemed unnecyss3ry Tor the preservation
of order or the imitectipn of civil authority,
the President dire s eted General Grant to take
steps for'disbanding and suppressing them,
which he promptly obeyed.
But the President does not stop half-way.
.Remembering the threats of the Radicals to
revolutionize the Government, he has taken
time by the forelock and is preparing for any
treasonable scheme they may undertake. The
order issued to the commanding Ge . neral to
report to the President the number of troops
garrisoning fortifications around W'ashing
ton and other particulars, is significant. This
will enable the President-to lay before Gen.
Sherman, on his arrival to take command of
the DePartment, a report of the precise avail
able force to meet any emergency. Three
weeks ago the President declared that Gen.
Sherman would be prepared to meet any re
sponsibility that might devolve upon him,
and the well known views of that officer
leave no doubt what position he will occupy
in case of an emergency. We regard the late
elections as haying given a quietus to the
impeachment hobby, but in case the Radicals
persevere in their Mad project, the retribution
will be prompt and decisive. •
. WE ARE alien asked what man we wish to
have nominated us the DeMocratic candidate
for President. We answer distinctly tire teen
thagitn7llrin,Whether he be a soldier or civilian,
whetherha hails from the East or the West.
Principles amount to nothing, (so far as their

so squeamish about our views as to provoke
defeat by insisting upon an'ont-and-out rep

would be more acceptable to the tegss of
voters. We have no fear that any candidate

theories of our political faith.
NEGRO BLr - yrtioqz A. ' , DEAD DEM.'.
One of our cotemporaries, in summing up
the reasons that have led to the great ienc
tion in poptdir sentiment, pertinently re
marks that "wherever the question of negro
suffrage has seen fairly and honestly submit
ted to the people, it has been defeated. In
Ohio the overthrow of the Radical party up
on this negro proposition was most signal
and disastrous. A majority of over filly
seven thousand votes hi favor of the Radical
party was overcome in. a single year, and
over thirty thousand placed to the credit of
the party which is in favor oflituiting the eke;
tire franchise to white men. On Tnesday,
the sth,the people of Kansas were called up
on to decide for or against negro suffrage at
the ballot-box. They decided for a white
:man's government. The negro suffrage pro
position was defeated by a decided majority.
-Minnesota, in a like manner, repudiated the
attempt to place the elective franchise and
the great interests of white men in such a
position as to be impaired by the action of
negroes. In no State have white men agreed
at the ballot-box that negmes shall enter the
political partnership, but they have uniform
ly proclaimed by' their action, that 'this is a
white man's government, established by
white men for white men and their,posterity
forever.'
In view 'of the recent decisions of white
men in the North upon this question of-ne
gro suffrage, what course will Congress PTV
sue? Will the members froin Ohio, Kansas
and Minnesota, vote to force negro suffrage
upon other States when it has been repudi
ated by their own constituents? Will they
continue to uphold and support a skheme of
Southern subjugation which rests entirely
upon the idea of making the negro equal
with the white man at the ballot-box ? Can
they vote for laws to put one section of the
nation tinder the control of a race which the
people of all tht Northern States, who have
yet been called on to vote upon the subject,
have declared unfit to be intrusted with the
ballot? In a word, are the sober men of the
Radical party prepared to follow such polit
ical g4mester. as Stevens:, Sumner, Wilson,
and Butler, against the most unmistakable
evidences of the-popular will with reference
to the wrongfulness and impolicy of allow
in2; negroes to interefere in the politics of
this nation? The recent elections have pro
vided they are not, and Congress should be
instructed by the popular uprising against
• their favorite theory. They acted 'outside
of the Constifiltion," and appealed to the peo
ple. for a confirmation of their acts. Th-6
people have refused to confirm theni, and a
further advance in that direction will now
be so bold a usurpation of power that all can
see the intention of it."-
A ttOLT ALREADY.
The Republican politicians, taught by the
result'of the recent elections, that they have
no-chance of winning with any other candi
date, and satisfied to take half a loaf rather
than get no bread at all, have started "Grant
Clubs" all over the country, and are Indus
iriously endeavoring to persuade them
selves and their friends that Grant is all
right. Some of them won't be persuaded,
however, and evince a disposition to kick
back in the traces that is giving the leaders
of the Movement a great deal of trouble.'
Among the most vociferous of those who de
clare
that they don't want to be sold again,
is the Philadelphia Morning Po:4, which
thus discoursed in a late issue : •
"Montgomery Blair,nne of the ablest and
best informed renegades in the country, de- I
dares that 'Grant has hitherto denounced '
negro suffrage and the destructive policy
of which 'it is the cardinal feature. Ile
claims him as a Democrat; he believes that
Grant will not accept a _Republican nomina
tion, How is it that Republicans dare to
nominate Grant _when this assertion can be
openly made by the Democratic leaders? It
Las _been w made before, and Grant has not
intr. opehilitle.St tt urn for tat acpminc-stt
party. His friends tell us that_his.principles
are found in his actions, and the Democrats
affirm that by his actions he shows himself
their friend. No Repuhlican dares to say
that Grant has frankly pledged himself to
support negro suffrage ; but Montgomery
Blair does say •that he has denounced it.
We do not hesitate to declare, what men of
all parties believe, that the mystery in which
General Grant delights to shroud her opinions
is not creditable to himself, and is not com
plimentary to his countrymen. Whatever
his opinions mat - be they are all imparted
in confidence, with the door locked, and un
der the pledge of absolute secrecy. But if
he has a belief, why should he not utter it'?
If he believes that Impartial Suffrage is
right, now is tile time to say so, when the Re
publican party in thirteen States goes to the
polls with that for the main issue. His
name is quoted against Impartial Suffrage in
New York, and he permits our enemies to
use his fame as a soldier. General Grant is
doing the Republican party no service by his
silence in this crisis.
"We do not believe in Radicalism that is
dumb. We 'promise the premature Presi
dent makers who have failed so signally in
their attempt to pledge Philadelphia to a
man who It on't speak, that Grant's reftisal
to declare himself:l Republican in 1867 mill
kill him as the Republican candidate in 186,8.
He must speak Ibr us Tani, in our hour of trial
'and defeat, noic when the Democratic party"
threatens to sweep the North. or he need
not come before oar Convention to ask us to
make
,hint President."
Tin: French revolutionists commenced
their work in the sacred name of liberty,
&Mu the only object was the only retention
of power, and to reach that point no means
were too revolting for the use of the 'domi
nant faction. The history of the Radical
party is identical in this respect. In the
name of liberty they have divided the Union,
le,troyed the States, violated the Constitu
tion, trampled upon the laws, plundered the
treasury, robbed the people by the imposition
of untemal arid exorbitant Mies, and under
mined the whole American system of repub
lican liberty. No law is respected by the
party in power if even its shadow falls across
their pathway.
TnE Tribune's Washington correspond
ent, describing the reception of the election
news in that city, says: •
"There is no disputing the rut that those
Republicans who have been openly parading
Grant as the candidate of the Republican
party for next President, express themselves
as heartily satisfied with the result. Last
night, when the returns were being received,
the situation was made painfully gloomy to
many Republicans by prominent Con
gressmen of their party in their enthu
siasm for, Grant as a Presidential candi
date, openly expressing themselves as hearti
ly giad of the defeat, and wishing 'the ma
jorities against IN were only double what
they are.—
The Tritiune editorially charges that many
conservative Republic:lmq in that city covert
ly aided the Democrats, and rejoiced over
our succeNs,helieving that it will have the
effect of forcing the Hadie . als to accept of
Grants nomination.
WENDlif.t. Putt.t.tps made a Teeth- at
Westchester. N. Y., last week, in which. he
denounced the Grant movement, and said
that the General was a mere puppet in the
bands of partisans. The Radicals would
have to sink all of their principles if he was
nominated by them for the Presidency. In
connection with this, we have a telegram
from Philadelphia, saying, " Grant meetingq .
arc being held here still, and clubs formed,
but the Republicans most active in the move
ment are of a c ; Onservative bent," the Radi
cals holding aloof, and muttering their con
tempt fir the whole :scheme. There's fun
ahead, or we are no prophet.
THE Lancaster lntrlligencer truly remarks:
The election is over, but the labor of the
true Democrat is never. "The price of lib
erty is eternal vigil:nide." Let the organiz4-
don of -the party be perfected, and let a sys.
tematic effort be made in every election dis
trict to,extend the circulation of sound Dent
ocraticnewspapers. Tluit sill effect more
than anything else. Let every- subscriber to
the Observer see what lie can do in this im
portant matter.
ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
• With the sixth of November a Dembemtic
storm swept over the -country which uproot
ed Radicalism, and utterly annihilated every
vestige of the black man's party. The col
ored troops, it eppears, did not fight bravely
this time. But their endeavors will be In vain
in future, too. It is evident that the people
have resolved to displace the infamous -fac
tion which has attempted to rule thecountry
right or wrong. The party tvltie•h retarded
reconstrnetion, and sought to impose negro
equality upon the nation in opposition to it. 4
sovereign will, has been, and will be finally
and irretrievably everthrown. New Yerlit
"New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and
the GreoVest, have added their voices to
Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Ohio,
Montana, and 3laine, in favor of a white
man's government.

election liaised off quietly, and resulted in a
triumph for the lion-hearted Democracy.
The majority New York city is larger

New .Tcrsey is herself again ! In this State,
where, the election was for members of the
Legislature, the Democrats have reversed
the order of things, and carried both branches
of the Legislature by large majorities. The

Hail! Massachusetts! She has done no-. 1
bly. She has reduced last 'year's - Radical
majbrity •of 65,300 to about 24,000. The
friends of the Prohibitory Law arranged, by a
concerted scheme, to have a thousand cler
gymen preach simultaneously a thousand
sermons in a thousand pulpits, in favor of
prohibition, on the eve of 'election. The
effect was instant and miraculous. The
State turned by a tremendous majority
against the Prohibitory Laty. She will yet,
it appears, turn away from the bleak hills of
puritanism and negro fanaticism, and help
the Democracy restore the gninn.

the Republican State ticket is surely
elected. Last year the Radical majority was
23,907, Thejelegraph announces that Fair

The Republican majority in the State will
be about 7,000: .
Our advices from some of the IV estern
States, Michigan, Illinois, and .Missouri, are
exceedingly meagre, but the very absence of
returns is partial evidence that the Demo

The wonderful Democratic gains through
out the country consiusively prove that we
can elect the next President, and- save the
country: The people are With us, and they

Tint N. Y. Tribune does not like the °nut

and the "situatiou', not discovered until utter
the Presidential election. The propoSition
was at once accepted by the crowd, all ex
cept Ben Wade, who swore "by G—d ho
would not take up a man for President who
thofight more of horses than he did of poli
tics in these times; that he was a 'straight
out' in every particular." However, arrange
ments were made for forming a Grant club.
About this time there was a signal made on
board the "Row-Back ;" upon enquiring what
was wanted, the editor of the mpatch said
that "now as Capt. L. had left, and "D. D."
was in command, they wanted to be in fra
ternal relations with the "straight-outs ;" that
some of them had been talking of forming a
Grant club, and wishes] to join their brethren
•on board the "Rad," and make it general and
harmonious." The proposition was accepted;
and-it now being dusk, with the prospect of
a dark night, Capt. "D. D." concluded to land
and tie up. After supper, amicable relations
were brought about between the -"straight
outs" and "bow-backs," through the :"con
servative" influence of Capt. "D. D.," a meet
ing' was called, the officera oh which were
selected front both fictions—a general dis
eussidm- pro and erin, and - ra titer conservative
resolutions adopted,' as Gen, G,'s reticence
had kept the public In the dark as to hls rica's
on political.poliey, and were about to adjourn
when brother TICS. came dashing up with a
paper in hand, saying he "had just et.news
hum John Brown, given him in a vision,—
that the black brother would yet be all right,
and that they should' not be in a hurry to
nominate Giant, that he was afraid Grata was
not right on • `manhood suffrage," He was
promptly told by "D. D." to "dry up, that
they wanted none of his visions or opinions."
It was now proposed by Capt W. W. L. that
they should try and resuscitate the (.E A. R.
organizations,if any . retunants of them could
be exhumed after thew general route in Ohio, •
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New; York,
which proposition was considered and'adopt
ed, after Which they adjourned. Old Ben
Wade would have nothing to do with the
meetin g , but was seen circulating :round
amongthe niggers; and condoling with them
after this manner "Don't be alarmed, my
good fellows, if we; hare got licked In this
election. We will fight them and keep fight
ing them until We.win ; •and, by G—d, We
Win. and then a black man will be as good
as any man ; so don't drop-your lips like a lot
of motherless colts, but keep your heath; up
and fear not." "De Lord Gress you; Uncle
Ben," said a knowing darkey, "you talks well,
but den you talked just so afore, - and said de
Ohio folks was our frens." After a pause and
doubtful look, the darkey exclaimed, "White
man bay onsartin, Uncle Ben !"
The whole crowd of darkies- were quite
. .
jubilant over the idea of their arrival in Dix;
le—smackingtthelr lips over the thoughts of
Freedmen's Bureau pap, the- high old time
they' would have, and singing the follplizing
appropriate song : • '-^y

This being the Sabbath, it was determined
upon to lay by and have religious services au
board the "Rid." Being a pleasant Indian:
summer day, the tnunpery was _cleared up
from the deck, seats arranged, when the '
Chaplain, Rev. J. H. W., tqok his-position
upon a large boi of Congressional campaign
tioeuments, as a - substitute fix a - pnlpit ; and
after an extremely loyal (!) prayer and the
singing at' an extremely loyal (!} hymn, both
of which had been got up for the occasion.
commenced his discourse, which,:by the way,
was boisterous as well as loyal. Amon" other
absurd sayings, lie claimed that lie, "Rev. J.
H. W., a rthiegade Democntt, had - Weekly
(Sundays) called upon-the people to stand by
the ,tlag and Lincoln government, and to give
the last matt and last dollar in their defence."
"De Lord bress us," said an old darkey to a
dusky companion, "listen to (tat maw! de last
man and de last dollar ! Tea, I guess he he de
las 111811 and Us ,dollar be tie las dollar. lie!
he ! De Money be all gone and de men 1113
killedltfo dey get dat man to de war, saran
sure."
On board the "Bow-Back" matters had be
conic' mute harmonious. Having joined
their brethren of the "Rad" both in political
and religious_: intercourse, sundry resolves
te, , vw ratiite,br_the future, particularlypy the .
politics," and to attend to their legitimate
business; Wm. 8., Claimed that lie
would attend to the practice of the law, and
git . e, up trying to get to Congress ; L. W. 0.
would stitk,to him pump, and never aspire to
the Legislature again, and like conclusions by
others. • The Dispatch would be conducted
as a mil independent paper, but the Gazette
was not to be bluffed off; to watch Thad.
Stevens, Judge Kelley and other leading
liatisond shift as they shifted, was the course
resolved upon, M. B. L. to contrary not
withstanding.
It was now proposed by J. W. D. that as
they would probably soon Meet the "Consti
union" with the Copperheads on board on
their way down, and some arrangement
should be made in regard to a slag; as they
had riot adopted one yet; thltt they should
show their colors, be they what they may.
Some were for a National flag; others want
ed but 27 stars, as the !libel Stales were not
in the Union yet. Finally, it was compro
mised by adopting the - Hed,White and Blue,"
as that would meet all sides, even to recory
structedrebas. About - now two' eamboats
were diseovered•plowing along urtthe river

was startled by the intelligence of a dreadful
disaster in Pitt township,-- adjoining the
Ninth ward, Involving a 'wholesale destruc
tion of human lives. Tho boilers in the
rolling - mill of Messrs - . Reese, Graff Dull,
exploded with a terrific report, about half
pas't eleven of clock, tearing the building to
atoms, lulling seventeen persons and serious
ly wounding about tlventy ()then. The loss
sustained by the proprietors of tho mill will
be about $lO,OOO.
ALL the office-holders and office-seekers in
this city are in love with the "Grant move
ment." They think if they tie themselves
curly to Grant they will-be rcwzirded in case
lie
. should nominated and elected by be
ing . continued in office or by promotion.
These very consistent politicians are willirig
to go for a man who has "no convictions or
principles,' for the pfirpose-of achieving suc
ciss, and yet theyprate -about their, attach
ment to the principles of the Radical party !
