CRISIA AT HAND.
.The'people of the United. States will soon
be put to another test that will exercise the
full measure of their forbearance. The par
ty, of which 'Sumner, Wade, and Wilson, in
the Senate, and Boutwell, Ashley, Bingham
and Thad. Stevens, in the House, are repre
sentative members, are preparing to take one
more stride forward in their traitorous efforts
to overthrow our Constitutional form of Gov
ernment. In defiance of popular opinion, it
is the intention of the majority in both
houses, who, in the language of Mr. Eliot, of
Massachusetts, are responsible for the legis
lation by CongreSs -during the last eight
years," to put through and clinch all meas
ures that may be requisite to a perpetuation
of their power,. at whatever risk of public
peace, interest and safety. The programme
foreshadowed by Wendell Phillips twelve
months ago, and reiterated by Ben. Wade
last fall, has been agreed upon, and is to be
carried out to the letter. Congress, with the
united vote of the Radical party in both
Houses, will carry out the folloWing
ores, to wit :
First. To put supreme power over the ex
cluded States into the hands of a military
dictator, abrogating the State laws and the
rights of all white citizens thereof.
Second. To subject the 'Executive to the
control of the legislative branch of the floc
eminent ; in Cid, obliterating the former.
Third. To destiny the power of the Fed
eral Judiciary, thus removing all - barriers to
the Usurpation by Congress of the powers of
the Federal Government.
Fourth. To summarily remove the Pres
ident by law, in case he should offer any ob
stacle to the measures they have adopted or
maw adopt. The hill for. that purpose pro:
vides for the arrest and suspension of Presi
dent Johnson as soon as articles of impeach
ment shall be adopted by a majority vote of
the House. The reason that impeachment
heretofore failed was that a law fot the arrest
and impeachment and suspension from office
of the impeached party had not then been
passed.
Fifth. To legislate out of office, or destroy
by base attacks on his reputation, every offi
cer of the arniv or nave who refuses to assist
in.fastening these measnres upon the nation.
investiture? It 14 a poisoned robe which will
cliMi to his festering sides, if he does. He
has been silent, and moderate, and prudent,
and men have looked to- him with some
hope. Will he make himself the point of
attack ; the target of-bate ; the central figure
in this infamous usurpation ? Will he make
his fellow citizens forget his battles for the
tnion;in his Victory over the Constitution,his
prostration of Civil Liberty. They accredited
his victories in the field to the patriotic pur
pose of restoring the tnion and re-estab
lishing the law. Will he now, in the service
of a faction, demand " the unconditional sur
render ". of all that is vital in the Constitn
tion, of all that makes communities free and
honored, and of the attributes of independ
ence in the Executive and the Judiciary !: It
were better for him that he sheathed his
sword in his own body Onot ; that he should
wield it in such a cause. It is treason
against liberty ; and every true voice should
be raised to denounce it and evert• hand to
strike it down!

The power vested in the President as Com-
Mander-in-Chief of the army is passed over
to General Grant ; and this fact, together
with the manner of his sanding his portfolio
as Secretary of War set iatarim over to Stan
ton, without consulting with his Comman
der-in-Chief, gives additional cause for alma
for our personaland•for general Liberty. The
means then by which they expect to attain
the end proposed is plain.
They have- usurped control of ten States
and minces maters their party with the South
ern negroes for the purpose of controlling
the elections in those States, which they have
purposely kept from representation for two
years, that they might get the entire control.
They have tminpleddown the Executive
brunch of the Government, arid the COnsti
tution under which they attained to power,
and over-ridden the Supreme Court.
They have re-Instated officers suspended
for notorious unfitness—if not notorious
criminality—in order to further their designs;
and if they cannot by these means carry out
' their_ designs it is evident they intend to con.

ECIPORTANT BILL ET THE LEGIS-
lIMMI
The financial 'question gives promise of
throwing the negro wholly in the shade
henceforth. In all tht: Legislatures now in
session, it is the leading topic, and
. n .mere
digest of the many measures proposed:for
the puhlic,iclit-f .would fill mans ( . .olumns.
Among the propositions suggested we have
seen none that are More likely to command
general attention, than the following rusolu
lions introdnertd into the State Legislature by
Mr. lfeek, the newly elected Democratic
Senator from the Lyeoming district, We*
understand that promises ot support for them
have beengiven, by a number of Radical
legislators; and that Senator Lowry will soon
make a %pi:eclt favoring the principles of Mr.
Beck's re , olotton6, if trial the resolutions
thems'elves :
&vetted, 1. That it is the judgment of the
Representatives of the people of Pennsylva
nia, in General Assembly met, that the
earliest.possible renirn of the Government of
the United State , : to specie payments is es
sential to the interests of our people and the
prosperity of the nation.
2. That to ensure en early and safe return
to specie payments, we believe that the
whole business of furnishing, the people with
currency should be vested in the General
Government alone, on the basis of her bonds ;
and that the present national banking sys
tent. exacting. as it does, two interests front
the people--one in the form of taxes for the
payment of the interest on the bonds deposit
ed by the banks for thh use of their currency
—is oppressive, unjust and ruinous, and, iu
our judgment, should be discontinued.
3. - That the
.lionds of the Government.
furnished an ample and suture' basis for the
currency required by the business of the
times ; and that their payment in United
States legal tender notes,l93l their sale for
the same, by the Government, at the option
of the holder, will-equalize the value of the
several issues of the Government, restore
public confidence, by raising both bonds and
currency to a gold standard, and in our opin
ion, open the way fur a speedy and safe re
turn to specie payments. • •
4. That the exemption of any species of
property from taxation for the support of'
the Government, is unwise, impolitic, and
has no authority in law; and that in our
opinion, the existing internal revenue laws
are grievously oppressive, and should be so
changed, or modified, as to relieve the toil.
and industry of the country, anti place thp
burdens of the Government upon the vices,
luxuries and wealth of the land.
S. That economy in the expenditure of
public money is also essential to the restora
tion of public confidence; and that the ne
cessity of the times no longer requires the
enormous expenditures made necessary by
the war; and iti our judgment each branch
and department of the Government should
be limited to the smallest practicable amount
necessary for the efficient discharge of the
duties relating thereto ; and that all sources
of expenditure not essential to the present
anti piospectiic necessities of the Govern
ment should be speedily discontinued.
fi. That, as well fbr the protection of the
.labor and Manufactures of the country as for
the purpose t fderiving revenues, a well de
fined tariff upon imposts, le?ying thereon
heavier duties than now exist, should be
speedily enacted and rigidly enforced.
—The resolutions came up for considera-
I 'ion on the evening of the 21st inst., when

I prepared speech in :faVor of the. principles
embodied in Mein. The tenor of his' remarks

GRANT THE RADICAL NOMINEE.
Radicals of all hues now freely concede
that there is but one man in The United
HStates - Who. can safely run for President
.algninst= the dead Democratic party. General'
Grant's nomination is u foregone conclusion.
Why do they nominate a man who liarnever
' been identified with their creed ? Why do
they stake heir succe , , on mere , military
prestige i Why select a candidate who, if
he finally turns out to be a Republican will
be such only because his - ambition gets the
better of his judgment? There was never a
more unequivocal confession of conscious
weakness than the Republiean party is tow
making. A political party never paid a sin
cerer tribufeAo the strength s :lml vigdr of its
rival than to nominate a man.who has aster
publicly proftrssed its principles, whore
li-es to let the eountry know where he
stands, who never voted a Republican ticket,
never made a Republican speech, het, er even
attended 'a Republican meeting, anti cares
nothing thr the Republican policy, except as
a hobby on which he hopes to ride into the,
White Howe. If he hud nut shared the de-'
lesion, which prevailed ten months ago, that
the Democratic party , was dead, he would as
wiliingly have remained a democrat as have
exchanged sly glances with the Republicans.
For a while, the Detnfleilit.l (10111)14 him for
precisely the same reasons that the Republi
cans court him. now—because they supposed
themselves weak. But since the great re
action which has taken place in the public
mind, the Democratic party feels no need of
this crutch, and is quite willing its rival shall
use it to support its tottering

views upon it. lie sconta the tcla that the
Constitution is the paramount object to which
the "loyalty" of American citizens is due,
and persists in the nonsensical 'declaration
that it is the "Government," which he kindly
condescends to inform us tote embraces the
three "branches Executive, Legislative and
Judicial, though it is but a year Or two since
it consisted of the President only. If this be
the rase, will lie please explain why it is
that all the officers in these departments, be

duties, lake a solemn oath to "preserve, pro

reason - why every State official, from Gov
ernor to Justice - of the Peace, is required to`
swear to the same effect, and that nowhere,
in our whole syStem of public affairs is there
such a proceeding known as an oath to sup-.
port the "Government ?"
We have neither time, room; nor disposi
tion to prolong the controversy, but; we can
not help remarking that according to our
cotemporary's idea, the "Jointly!' of the
American people is a subject of ir Very tin
certain character. What is the:Government ?
"The Executive, Legislative vand Judiciary
branches combined,"* says the Republican
now; •:the President," said its editor and
his fellOw Radicals a few years ago. "But
the 'Government' everybody i knows is di
vided—the President and &prelim Court
taking one side; and Congress the other.
To which then is 'loyalty', due ?" "Con
gress, of course," the RepubliCan Will claim.
"But you said it was the President; not long
since, and accused ns of 'disloyalty' for pot
sustaining him?" "Flo we did but times have
changed, you know, and the President is no ,
longer the Government; he• is 'disloyal:
"Then one branch of die 'Government can
be 'disloyal' to itself; and _the Government
is one thing one day, and another thing at
some other time! How concha it that if the
Government is composed 'of the three
branches, that you are 'loyal' to only. one?
And how dare you, with libelkins tongue
and - pen, accuse Democrats! of 'disloyalty,'
for opposing. President Lincoln's course,
when you are ten thues more hostile to Pres
ident Johnson than they ei•er Were to his
predecessor?"
Out on•such humbug, saY we. j If the Re.
publican's definition of "loyalty" le correct,
then is the editor of. tlutt paper :one of the
most deeply dyed traitors in -this Northern
fragment of the Union. He has never sup
ported hnfone President since the day he
became a voter, and at least one-half of his
manhood has been silent in open, undis
guised enmity to every branch of the Gov
ernment, Whether considi'red in our own
construction of "loyalty," i' j the one he
places upon
,it, it become.; hint to: say as little
as possible on, the topic, for in leither light

The ac don of the Senate in St =tees case so far
fi.inn being a party triumph, is a party infa
my. When the Tenure-ofollica bill was on
its passage, the Senate refuSed to include
Cabinet officers, and onlytonsenffiti at last as
the result of a Committee of Conference. It
was the deliberate judgment ot the Senate
that the President ought to have the selec-,
tion of his Cabinet_ Its yielding to thelbuse
seemed immaterial at the time, as the bill, by
making the Senate the judge of the President's
reasons, put it in its power to concede to him
that control of his Cabinet which it admitted
he ought to have. The fact that the Senate
has acted against its own public admission of
the President's rights, shows what an un
scrupulous and inconsistent-junta of partisans
it is.• It stands self-convicted of sacrificing its •
itnigmentto ffiwty malice.
QtrrrE an exciting scene occurred .iu the
Rouse on Wednesday afternoon of last week,
pending the consideration of the so-called re
construction bill. Mr. Fernando Wood,, of
New York, proceeded to speak in opposition
thereto, and in the course of his remarks he
characterized the bill as "a monstrosity—the
most infamous act of die many infamous acts
of this infamous Congress." lie was loudly ,
called to order from the Radical side of the
Rail, and Mr. Dingham demanded that the
words quoted should be taken down by the
Clerk, and objected to Mr. Wood continuing
his remarks. A vote was ordered on a mo
tion to allow Mr. Wood to proceed, and it
was lost by-n strict party division—yeas 39 ;
nays 108. Mr. Daives, ot Massachusetts, then
offered a resolution requiring the Speaker to
censure Mr. Wood for the language above re
ferred to. A motion to lay this resolntiou on
the table likewise failed by a strict party vote
—yeas 38, nays 115. The resolution was then
adopted—yeas 114, nays 38, and the Speaker
proceeded to deliver a brief lecture to Mr.
Wood on the alleged impropriety of his con
duct. The honorable member did not appear
to pay any attention to the proceeding what
ever, doubtless thinking, with a great many
" others, that, udder the Circumstances, it was
a very high compliment to be censured by
etch a body.
THE Financial Chronicle, in a -late num
ber, directs attention to the increase of the
public debt in November and Deceinber; the
expenses and outlay for army purposes, and
the amount - of income necessary- to be col
lected in order to keep up the Radical plan
of governing the country, and adds, "for the
present it appears we must give up thei hope
of diminishing, to any great extent, the vast
aggregate which represents our national ob
ligations, except retrenchment be enthreeti
with a much more rigorous and firm hand in
the departments at Washington." The diffi
culty Is_not in the departments. it lies With
Congress. While that body keeps ten States
under a military ,despotism, and the army
upon a war footing, the expenses tlf the gov
ernment will tncrcase year after year. Attntit
the States, reduce , the cost of the ‘Var. De
partment, and the first steps towards a reform
have been taken. But the Radicals will
not move in that direction, and hence the
people must continue to suffer.
As AN illustration of the manner in which
military justice is administered in the South,'
we give the following incidents of recent
rre n ein that section : "Some months ago
Captain-Schaaf, of the United States Anny,
shot and killed Col. Shepperd, n citizen of
Alabama, at Mount Vernon Arsenal, near
Mobile. The murder was pronounced to
most cowardly affair: He has recently been
tried by a court martial and sentenced to pay
a tine of #lOO awl be imprisoned at Fort Pu
laski for eix months. A few days after that
occurrence a negro committed a rape upon
the person of a young lady in North Caroli
na. Her friends captured and lnmg him.
Fire of them were arrested and tried , by a
ndlitaty court and sentenced to fifteen years'
imprisimment at hard labor. This is Radical .
justice.. The life of •a - white - man is worth'
thine hundred dollars and a trifling impris
onment; that of a. negro. incarceration for
fifteen years. ,
IT Is nOw'statecl that the depression in Nev.
England throws out of work at_leastiGo,ooo
people----10,000 'in Maine, 20,000 in Newt
Hampshire; 30,000 in Connecticut and Rhode
Island, and 100,000 in Massachusetts. -The
main cause Of-the unsettled financial condi
tion and general depression of business and
manufacturing interests is due to the Radical
party, which, after nearly three years of ex
periment, has failed to•restore or even to re
construct, but is in •a fair way to starve the
South, and to ruin, financially, the North.
This destructive, all-depressing party has the
supreme impudence to ask the unemployed
mechanics and I:diming:men of the North to
vote so as to keep this disaster-bringing and
breeding concern dominant a few years more,"
or long entitiqrit to complete the country's
ruin.
Tnisordei of Gen. Ilancock, issued on the
Ist inst., in' regard; to appeals to him to decide
litiguted cases, fully sustains the former ac
tion of that gallant officer since taking com
mand of the district of Louisituia and Texas.
These are golden words—" The administra
tion of civil justice appc . rtains to the regular
courts. The rights of litigants -do not de
pend on the view; of the General. They are
to be adjudged 41 settled according to the
laws. Arbitthry power, such as he has been
urged to assume, has no existence here. It is
not found in the laws of Louisiana or Texas.
It cannot be derived froth any • art of Con.
grecs. Ire is restrained by a Constitution,
and prohibited from action in many' particu
lars." There is the ring of the true metal in
these words.
THE people of the \Vest, with great una
nimity,
favor the payment of the tive-twenty
bonds in greenbacks.. This k denounced as
"repudiation" by the New York Tribune; for
partisan ptirposo2. On the back of the green
back'issue of February 2.1, 1882, we findlhe
fidlowing: "This note is a -legal - tend for
all debts, public and private, except du ies on
imports and interest on the public debt, and
is rectivabtkin payinent of all loans made to
the United States." What sense there is in
styling the payment of an obligation in strict
accordance with its terries "repudiation," • we
leave to the decision of those who must pay
the bonds.
Tnn correspondent of the
Tribune, speaking of the
.Grant movement,
says the Radical party "does not want a sol
dier; if it had carried Pennsylvania , it would
have done without him. But .1 this iv
the. hour of its despair, and only a soi
dier can wive it." Yet, after Grant is nom
inated, the whole Mulical press will he howl
ing (Oxon their love for the soldiers, and point
to their tutppoit of Mn as an ilinatration . of
it.
•
Tut highest financial authority in theptg...
lish press, the London-Economist, says dike
system (!) of taxation for which We have to
thank the Radical party; "Every sort of in

conspicuous net—t. seized upon anti taxed.
A ninety-ninth part of this interference in

Tem Grand Array of the Rermiblie, in conk
vention at Philadelphia, elected Gea, Logait
of Illinois, Collunander4n-Clitef; and Gen,
J. Owen, 'of - Philadelphia, for Senior Vice
Commander. The Grand Army must be
hard up for material, to take two of the most
notorious scapegraces in the country for its
elder officers.
Tug Mobile Tribune quotes the following
extractiVont the letterof a 3liviiippi plan
ter:
"I never dreamed of such hard times and
actual distress as lain this State at present;
and it is nothing - now to what it will be. This
portion of the State is its most favored. Moat
of our people have corn enough to last this
year; but not one in' twenty-five has meat
enough to last three months, and there' is no
money to buy it with. No one has made
cotton enough to pay. his hands nor to pay
for the supplies used during the past year,
and according to Ord's order, the latter are
to receive attention first, as I think justly.
On one or tub places, I hear that the negroes
are living on parched corn alone, their em
ployers not being able to pay them for last
year's work nor to feed them this year."
,
GRANT'S Radical enemies arc. developing
some of his alleged 'short-comings. One of
these-Is the restoration to the army of Major
Lynde, a relative of his brother-in-law, Gen.
Dent. Lynde was cashiered anti • dismissed
from the army for surrendering Fort Fillmore
to an inferior force of Confederates, in 1801.
They also animadvert: on his habits, and de
clare that indulging in o;/ate CS has the same
effect on him as on Toodles.
TUF. World, Commenting on the doings of
Congress, forcibly and truly says: "The men
of the Rump are traitors—not with arms
seeking to secede from one free government
in order to establish another like the first—
they are traitors to representative,govern
ment itself, to the institutions which alone in
modern times have enshrined civil liberty:
They arc traitors to the freedom of treemen."

[Frorri the New York Tribune, Jan. lab.
Possibly Mr. 'Johnson is as much sur
prised at some features of the transactions in
the Stanton affair as anybody ; for it appears
he had an understanding with Gen. Grant
some time ago, which was renewed and ifs
details recapitulated from time to time,. and
finally repeated on Saturday last t •tbat lie
(Grunt) would eitherhold on to the office as
Secretary of War ad interim until the rights
of. Stanton should be adjusted in court, in
case the latter should demand possession or
the Department, or else he would - give the
President' timely notice of his intention to
resi,ln as Secretary ad interim, and thus ena
ble Mr. Johnson. to appoint some other man
to the office, who would relitse to surrender
to Stanton until the decision cOnld be had.'
As It was evident on Saturday last that the
Senate would not sustain the suspension of
Stanton, the President and General Grant
had another interview on the subject, and a
full understanding, substantially as above set
forth, was the result. It Was also agreed
that Gen. Grant, in company_ with General
Sherman, should call on the President on
Monday to determine finally whether he
would resign as Secretary ad interim, or con
tinue in the office and test Stanton's right,
as before stated. General Sherman called
on the Executive, but Grant did not. Mean
time, on Sunday last, a suggestion had been
made to the President by certain Senators
that should the name of ex-Gov. Cox, of
Ohio, be sent to the Senate for Secretary of
War, his nomination would probably be con
firmed, and thins get rid of the Stanton im
broglio at once. Mr. Johnson, however,
preferred to have the matter take the course
.lie had decided it .should, especially as he
bad no doubt of haying the co-operation of
Gen. Grant or another Secretary ad interim,
in the manner before stated. What caused
Gen. Grant to change his mind or to with
draw front the arrangements, or why he did
not notify the President of his intention to
surrender to Stanton,has not transpiredfully.
' The first notice the President had .of such
change of purpose was upon the receipt of
I the following note from Gen. Grant- to-day
I at about 11:30:
Tloqits. Alt3tY r. S., Jail. 14. 1868.
7 7iie Kritefinfry .1. .I,7hnson,- Pre*(deht
ITiiika Stator.
- SIR : I 'have the honor to inclose herewith
,
, a copy of official notice, received by me last
' evening. of the action of the Senate of the
United States in the case of the suspension
of the lion. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of
f f War. According to the provisions of see-.
tion 2 of an net regulating the tenure of civil
officers, my functions as Secretary of War
ad intert'm ceased front the moment of the
receipt of the within notice. I have the hon.
or to be, veryrespectfully, your obedient
servant, •
. ' U. S. Grum'. •
(Here follows a copy of the resolution of
the Senate.)
This letter was handed to the President by
one of Gen, Grant's staff lust one hour after
Gen. Grant had surrendered to 'lli. Stanton,
and of course the latter was in possession of
the War Department for that • length of time
before 31r. Johnson was advised of what had
transpired. " •
Gen. Grant was in conultatitin with the
President to-night, and we have high official
authority (not from Gen.' Grant)' that the
General unnualifiedly'expressed the opinion
that the Secretary of War should-1,43nd in his
resignation. The same authority states-that
Gen. Sherman expressed the same opinion
yesterday. The President, it appears, is de
termined to adhere to the strict letter of the
law, so far as Mr. Stanton is concerned,
which will compel everything from the War
Department to go forth with the words,"By
direction of the President." - Prom the same
source I have it that Gen. Grant will obey
the Presider)! only.
The National Intelligencer republishes its
article in- regard to the understanding be
tween the President and Gen. Grant with the
following renewed assertion of its exact
truthfulness: ."The above statement of Lets
was made by us deliberately; carefully and
advisedly. We know it to be true' in all its
length. breadth, • and • we • challenge
General Grant to deny it in a single particu
lar."
Special dispatch to the Pittsburgh Pont.) '
Washington, Jan. 16.—There is no doubt
that Grant deceived The President in sur
rendering the war office.. Johnson pointedly
reminded him in the presence of Sherinan of
his agreement, and Grant did kot deny it, and
said if he' had not allowed Stanton to take
possession. he would have umliTtaken to run
the war office elsewhere, under the authority
of the Senate. The President said - if he,
Grant; had kept faith, he would have seen
how the Secretary would have seen how the
Secretary would have fizzled - in running his
out-side machine. Grant and others are at
tempting to persuade Stanton to resign,while
the Jacobin faction in Congress, entreat him
to hold the place.
Gen. Grant was again * with him to-night,
and unqualifiedly expressed his opinion that
Stanton should resign, and Gcn. Sherman
yesterday earnestly advised the same course.
Meantime, however, Stanton is reduced to
the merest clerkship in the War Department.
The President win not permit any orders to
be sent from that department except in strict
pursuance ! of law, which being literally fol
lowed will prevent any orders from the Sec
retary of war as heretofore, and compel eve
rything of that character to tte 'issued by di
rection 'of the President. Om Grant will only
recognize order , from thy President. .

never go into the regular histories, nor be em
bodied in romance or. poetry; which is a very
real part of it, and will, if preserved, convey to
succeeding generations a, better idea of the spir
if, of the conflict than many dry reports or care
ful narratives of events, and this part may be
called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the war.
This illustrates the character of the leathers, the
humor of the soldiers, the.devotion of women,
the bravery of men, the pluck of our heroes,
the romance and hardships of the senice.
The valiant and brave hearted, the pictur
esque and dramatic, the witty and marvelous,
the tender and pathetic, and the whole pauora
ma of the war are here thrillingly portrayed in
a masterly numner, at once historical and to
mantle, rendering it the most ample, unique,
brilliant and readable hook that the war has
called forth.
Amusement as well as instruction may be
found In every page as graphic detail, brilliant
wit and authentic history, are skillfully -inter
woven in this work of literary art.
