THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21J, 1868
tfoonous and unusually Interesting po
litical campaign is in progre.•ss in New Hamp
shire and Connecticut—the former of which
chooses State officers in March and the latter
in April. Both parties have selected their
Most popular men for candidates,• and the
campaign is being waged with a zeal that
has seldom been surpassed. In view of its
influence upon the Presidential conflict, the
result in New Hampshire and Connecticut
assumes a National importance, and ,will be
looked forward to with anxious interest.
The Democracy are confident of success in
Connecticut - by an increased majority, and
in New Hampshire it is believed that the
Radical majority will be much reduced, if not
completely extinguished. We hope for the
best, but that quarter of the country has been
besotted with Radicalism for so long a period,
that our confidence by no means equals our
desire.
Fnox the indications at present , it is not
likely that the Democratic State Convention
will have any trouble in selecting candidates
for all the positions in its gift, owing to the
lack of applicants. For Auditor General,
Gen. W. W. H. Davis, of Bucks, Dr. A. B.
dfarkley, of Montgdmery, and Hon. C. A.
Boyle, of Fayette, are Mitong the most prom
inent named. For Surveyor-General, the
most conspicuous candidates are J. M. Coop
er, Esq, of Frinklin count}, and D. Cars
kaddon, Esq., of Clinton: - The cumber of
gentlemen proposed for delegates at large to
the National Convention is legion, and in
cludes some of the leading men in the
. State: Among those whom we have heard
most prominently mentioned are Hon. S. J.
Randall, of . Philadelphia, Hon. Richard
Vaux and Hon. WM. C.Patterson, of the same
city, Hon. J: Glancy Jones, of Berko county,
Gen. James P. Barr, of Pittsburgh, Ex-Govi..
Packer and Bigler, lion. Asa Packer, of Car
bon county, Hon. WM. A. Wallace, of Clear
field, and Hon. Arnold Plumer, of Venango.
The Convention will select four Senatorial
delegates and two candidates for elector at
large. The only name
. we have heard in
connection With the latter post is Hon. Wm.
V. McGrath, of Philadelphia, though as the
time for the Convention to meet zrows closer,
we have no doubt that names will be sug
gested by the score. Wheneter the prospects
for a party look eneouraging.candidates are al
ways most numerous, and we regard the
active competition
. to secure the places of
honor in the gift of the Convention as one of
the most gratifying signs of the times.
"THE WORLD , . ON THE JOHNSON.
GRANT CORRESPONDENCE.
"President Johnson's last letter is a docu
ment which General Grant's ,reputation can
ill afford to have pass into history. It has
the dignity which so well befits conscious
superiority, and the studied decorum of its
manner makes the relentless logic of- the
President all the-more overwhelming. Noth
ing could be more conclusive than the mas
oning by which the President proves, from
General Grant's own letters, that he acted
double and insincere nett; from the time he
accepted the War Department for the pur
pose of circumventing the President, until he
consummated his Oppose by frustrating the
President's known intentions in its final sur
render. Nothing could he more neatly sar
castic than the reply to General Grant's pre
tence that he could not have complied with
the President's wish without violating the
c law. "I know of no statute," says the Presi
dent, "that would 'have been violated had
you, carrying nut your promise in good
faith, tendered your resignation when you
' concluded not to be made a party in any le
gal
proceeding.", There is no escape for
General Grant from this well-directed thrust.
The whole gist of the President's complaint
against General -Grant, is,.'that he did not
tell him what lie intended to do. The Pres
-4 dent did not ask him to hold the office to
keep out Stanton against his sense of duty or
his interpretation of the law, hut only that he
should keep his promise by letting the Presi
dent know beforehand that course he in
tended to take. The President sought to
know his intention, and he kept the Presi
dent in doubt, and left him with the under
standing that there should be another inter
view. If he had communicated to the Presi
dent what he had resolved in his own
.mlnd,
there would have been no difficulty or guar
-rel. It cannot tbr a moment be denied that
the President had a right to have his ques
tion answered. Not even General Grant has
bad the hardihood to dispute the President's
right to be informed of the contemplated
action of his own subordinate, in a matter
that belonged to the President's official prov
ince. Why then, when the President put the
question, did General Grant prevaricate and
withhold the truth ? But one answer is pos
sible: he had made up his mind to gain the
favor of.the Radicals by restoring Stanton,
and an- avoslal...of his purpose would have
defe..au.d-taixecution."
PARTY SIICCESS VPPERMOST, AS
tifiVAL.
The rapid disintegration and early down-
Ail) of the Radical party are an apparent,
even to the leaders of that wicked political
organization, that they are for making "hot
haste" to preserve their power in the United
States Senate and in the electoral college,
after they shall have lost control of the
House of Representatives, and for this pur
pose they propose to give speeclyuticuissioalo
one rotten-borough State in the West (Colora
do,) and another at the South (Alabama.)
Notwithstanding the rejection by the latter
of the•bogus Constitution, prepared by the
negro Convention at Montgomery, they open
ly declare the votes of these rotten boroughs
essential to their sueecss in the next Presi
dential election, and their anxiety to admit
them proves the sincerity of their belief.
Mongrel Senators and Representatives from
Alabama once installed in Congress a pre
cedent will be established fot, tine. admission
of the other Southern States on the same
basis, and in this way they hope to get them
all in before the adjournment of the present
session, so that they may balance, to a very
considerable extent, the white vote of the
North and West in the choice of the next
President.
TEE old city of Reading, in Berke eouty,
though' the county-seat of the strongest Elem.
ocratic county in Pennsylvania, has always
been perversely and reliably • opposition in
politics. A new' era is dawning upon her,
however, and henceforth she may bidepentl
ed upon as a staunch supporter of the Demo
cmtic•cause. The annual city election was
held there last week, and here. is the glorious
result, as telegraphed - to the Philadelphia
Age :
READLNG, February 15.—The Democracy
of this city won a great victory yesterday.
Their candidate for Auditor, Di. Mester M.
Nagle, was elected by a majority of 336.
Williams' majority last October was
19. . s Thbf is n Democratic gain in 4 months
of 1 145 votes. The Democrats have also
elected Matthias Mongel, Esq., Alderman,
and Captain Wm. W. field, Constable, in the
South' Wards. Both branches of the City
Councils are largely Democratic. The Dem
ocrats elected three out of four Select Coun
cilmen voted for, and six out of ten of the
Common Council voted for, and seven out
of the nine Assessors.
IN the pending, all-important 'Presidential
campaign the newspaper press will prove to
to be the 'meet efficient agent. .1 reliable
Democratic journal should be put into the
hands of every man who can read. Let there
be an organized effort to do that, and we shall
see the effect everywhere in the largely in
creased Democratic majorities,
ALAUNING•tiROSPECT.
. We called attention to the fact last Week
that the publiedebt i►nd increased ten mil
lions in Dec ember pud twunty in January,
making thirty millions in all, and nowt the
information imams, us that au addition of
twenty millions more is likely to take place
in thespresent month I The meaning of facts
like there is too plain to be misunderstood,
and if the people are not blind to every in
stinct of personal and public Internet, they
will ponder them with that degree of serious
consideration their alarming nature de
mands.
We cannot conceal the truth from our
selves that the Government is rushing on to
the verge of bankruptcy and repudiation at a
frightful rate. There is much talk of re
trenchment, but in what direction do we see
our public officials verify their professions by
their deeds? Economy and reform are good
expressions to tickle the people's ears wills,
but the course of the Radical party shows
that they are merely words after all
With our enormous pile of debt and op
pressive burdens of taxation, the so-called
Congress, and every branch of Government,
is running wild with every imaginable
scheme for still adding more debt and piling
on' additional taxes. The other day, Mr.
Seward refused to respond to an official call
upon him for a report of all the expenses at
tendant upon the arrest and trial of John
H. Surratt. Modest as the tinkle of his lit
tle bell, he declined, on the ground that it
might have a .bad effect upon the public
mind !
• Trade of till kinds in the large cities is dull,
the channels of commerce sic drying up,
manufacturers are stopping or working on
shot t time, thousands of employees are out of
employment in all sections of the country,
and, with the knaves and madmen in power
at Washington, we see but little hope for the
immediate future. ;Money i, represented as
very plenty, amounting to a plethora in the
great financial centres, while among the
masses it is so scarce that the highest rates
of interest fail to secure sufficient for the
legitimate needs of trade.
Our exports are falling off frightfully, and
will continue to . more and more every year,
while the bad men now in power bear wick
ed sway, Official reports show that our total
expOrts last year were sixty millions less in
greenbAck currency than they were in 1860,
before the war, in gold currency, while our
imports, which only tend to sap the wealth
of the country, are increasing immensely.
At the same time taxes arc so enormous
that very few kinds of business pay enough
to meet the terrible burdens imposed by the
Government, at present prices, while the
prospects are, that they will steadily advance,
Every branch of industry, even that which
pays the best—the New England manufac
tures—is calling loudly to be relieved front
its share , of the public responsibilities.
Where is the hope of relief? We can see
but one chance, and it only if it is seized
promptly, and that is to abolish the party
now in power. It and its fellow_ conspira
tors in the South, have brought all the trouble
upon us. Rid the country of the vandals, no
matter what it costs, relief will never come
without it. Disband the army, except for
the protection of the Indian frontiers. Sell
off our expensive navy, send the soldiers
home to protect their families, and let the
sailors engage in the commercial marine,
where they will earn something for our com
merce, and nut eat out all the substance of
the country. Break up the nigger boarding
houses all over the land, and let the blacks
go to work and earn their living as honest
white men do.. Pay off the National debt ac
cording to the terms stipule upon the face
of the bonds, and disband e army of fifty
thousand tax -gathers. Restore the Union,
and get the Southern States in a condition to
help sustain the burdens of the Government,
instead of being as now—a constant expense.
and annoyance. Do this, and then the taxes,
which now amount to more than an honest
profit upon any branch of business, may be
diminished, so that there will be a chance for
the industrious man to get a comfortable liv
ing.
HANCOCK SHOWS PLV(K.
Some weeks ago Gen. Hancock issued an
order removing nearly all the present city
Councils of New Orleans, most of whom
were appointees of Gen. Sheridan. A num
ber of them are negroes, andllancock al
leges that they are inefficient and corrupt
These members and other Radicals in New
Orleans protested against Gen.• Hancock's
action, as done without just cause, and in the
interest of Democratic politicians, who wish
to defbat the new Constitution about to be
submitted to the people of Louisiana. Gen.
Grant telegraphed Hancock to suspend his
order reinstating the Councilmen. Gen. Han
cock sent a reply that nniess-heris alloWed to
enforce it he must itsk - to the relieved from
command. To this Granti responded that if
the removals had already been made, Han
cock's order should remain in force, but if
otherwiie it should be rescinded. Hancock
answered that the changes were made, and
that he supposed he had explicitly informed
Grant:of the same at the time. The corres
pondence here ended, and Hancock remains
master of the situation.
A GOOD deal of comment has arisen out
of the recent order of the President appoint
ing Lieut. Gen. Sherman a brevet General,
which entitles him to rank equally with
Grant. under certain circumstances. The
same order constitutes a new military de
partment out of Maryland and the District of
Columbia, over which it gives Sherman com
mand, The Radicals charge the President
with a determination to supplant Grant with
Sherman, and suspect that the main object is
to have a general officer at hand on whom
he cau rely in case of an cmergencf% It is
said that Sherman has written a letter to the
President asking to be relieved from dnty in
the new; position assigned to him. At any
rate, the hrevet , shlp does not amount to any
thing, as the Senate has refused to confirm
it, and asked its withdrawal' by the Presi
dent. '
LATE advices tram Alabama indicate that
the negro Constitution is adopted, more than
half of the registered voters having balloted,
and the main portion of the votes being is
its favor. This result has been obtained by
holding the polls open a number of days,
Which enabled the negroes to vote in as many
different places as they could travel to points
in the State.' But few of the white inhabi
tants voted, and they only the Radial por-,
lion, most of whom are from the North. An
election for State officers and Congressmen
was held at the same time, and of course the
RadiCal ticket was chosen without opposi
tion. The Radicals in Congress declare that
they will admit Alabama -without delay, it
being conclusively settled in their minds that
her vote can he controlled for the benefit of
their Presidential ticket.
A VEHEMENT and embittered controversy
is being waged between the New York World
on the one hand, and the Western and South
ern Press on the other, respecting the merits
and demerits of 31r-Vallandigbam. Itstrikes
us that all the parties could And sufficient
employment' in battling the common foe,
without putting themselves to the trouble of
stirring up quarrels in our own ranks. We
have no sympathy for any man or paper, let
them hail from what section they may, who
lend themselves to the promotion of Elotivp
in the Democractic party—especially at a pe
riod like this, when our whole strength is
required to save the nation from Impending
ruin.

the Republican party - are eternal." So are
the "eats of the ass and the malice of the
devil."
THS3 Covsvair ortatitna POOR .
One:of our well intl . :Wined Eastern caret
potaties estimates that the stringency of, the
-times ha:s thrown one hundred thousand Ar
sons out of employment in Massachusetts
alone-20,000 in New. Hampshire, 111,1100 is
Maine, and 30,000 in Connecticut and Rhode
Island—in all 160,000, because the
corporations cannot eolith= business
at a profit. From every portieia of" the coun
try come cries of financial snalgency, want
of employment, reduction of wages, high
prices of the-necessaries of life, manufactur
ing stagnation, and impending starvation to
thousands of workincpeople. On Saturday 1
last seven hundred men:were discharged from
the Central Park,. New York, to swell the
ranks - of the fitly thousand unemployed
work-people , who are vainly begging through
the streets of that city for work, In Brook
lyn another discharge of worktnen lank place
from the Government navy yards last week,,
and there are now fifteen thousand men out
of employment in that City, On the first in
stant the wages of the workmen employed
in the'railroad shops at Scranton—one thou
sand in number—were reduced ten per cent.
The Dixon Iron Works Company, at the
same place, which employs seven . hundred
men,,have given notice of a similar reduction,
and they intend to discharge all the single
men. The Lackawanna Iron Company, at the
same place, have also discharged a number
of workmen and will make a turther reduc
tion of working force. At Pittsburgh, and
elsewhere in this State, reduction of wages
and discharges of large numbers of workmen
have lately taken place, In the 'Western and
Northwestern States the intelligence iv of a
similar importgeneial stagnation and labor
distress. The depression of trade in St.
Louis is a subject 01 serious comment with •
the journals of that city. Thousands are out
of employment,with little.or no hopes of ob
taining work
_before spring—if then. it iv
impossible with isolated cases .like - these to
give an adequate idea of thegreat stagnation
and the imminence of the threatened ruin to
manufacturing industry. A full compilation
would astound and panicize the country, but
it would Only hasten what must inevital
come at an early dite.
These facts . prove' better than arg---4trent,
that high taxes and a destroyed nvirket are
bringing the people to poverty anO, thetoun
try to bankruptcy. It is high ,ime that the
infamous scheme of oppressitt.g.With,burden
some taxation two-thirds of the Union in or
der to crush- the rentalning one-third into
penury and slavery, for:mere partisan purpo-,
should be bronett s to a speedy end. No
country under t.e.suu can stand a "policy"
so tyrannies-41 and disastrous a§ that of the
Radical party. Its results were forcibly de
picted-by Mr. Sprague, the Radical Senator
from Rhode Island, in a speech, not long
aince, endeavoring to wake up his fellow
members to the critical condition of the coun
try.
"I wish," said he, "I could create in the
mind of every Senator the alarm I feel. We
have been told that we of the North are rich;
the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Wilson)
tells us we are 4 seven times richer than we
were before the war. I wish I could believe a.
What have we .to show for these alleged
riches? • We have spent $3500,000,000;
we raised $600,000,000. We had the South
before the war. Have we it any more now
than we had before? Is it any more prosper
'ous than it was before the war ? Is it worth
as much? TVhy, air, I know the fact that many
of the principal plantation* of the &lath are
-not north one-twentieth part of what they Were
then.
"Mr. Nye—Why ?
"Mr. Sprague—Why ? Because it will not
pay to cultivate them and to hold them. as . I
know."
IMPEACHMENT KILLED AGAIN.
We had barely announced the revival of
the Impeachment business 'in our last issue
before the information came that itwasagain
defeated in - Congress. The-Committee-of the
House to whoni it was referred voted down
a sot of resolutions offered by Thad. Stevens,
on the morning of the 13th inst.,—four Radi
cals, Messrs. Biugham,• Paine, Beitnan and
Hubbard voting with Messrs. Brooks and
Beck, Democrats, against them; and three
Radicals, Messrs. Stevens, Boutwell and
Farnsworth, voting in their favor. Accord
ing to the Tribune's correspondent, the Rad
ical members of Congress had held a consul
tation, and decided to drop the question, in
consequence of which the Committee adopt
ed the policy they did. The same writer
gives us the following information :
"Before the vote was taken, Mr. Paine.who
voted for impeachment last year, attempted
to dodge the question in committee, and
moved toward the door to - leave the room.
Mr. Stevens, observing his movements, said,
shaking his finger at linn,Taine, come back;
you have got to face the music; Go on either
the one side or the other.' Paine hesitated,
and then Stevens said, 'Clerk, put him down
against impeachment,' and Mr. Paine was so
registered. When the vote had been de
clared, Mr. Stevens said: 'Sir, the Republi
can party has been killed to-day by the ac
tion of this Committee, at the instance of
Gen. Grant and his friends. I have found
that tbr the last two or three days, the men
who shout the loudest and throw their hats
the highest for U. S. Grant, have been using
every exertion to demoralize Mr. Bingham
and the other members of this Committee
who were supposed to favor Impeachment,
that Grant has been using his Influence -eve
rywhere to.defeat the scheme, and that An
drew Johnson has to thank him that he re
mains undisturbed in the White •House. I
have been in public life for forty years, and
though I do not pretend to any gift of prophe 7
et% I have seldom been mistaken in political*
predictions. I tell von that to-day's-cowardly
action will cost us New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and probably three or four more of the
Northern States.'
The, World correspondent had an inter
view with Stevens directly after the commit
tee had rendered its decision, and gives the
following as a portion of the conversation :
"What, then, is at last your opinion on the
question whether Mr. Johnson will ever be
impeached ?"
"Sir," said Mr. Stevens, with a bitter smile,
"I shall never bring up this question of im
peachment again. lam not going to daily
with that or any other committee in regard
to it any longer."
THEY WON'T woam.
A geotleman from one of the counties in
Virginia, who desired to obtain a number of
able-bodied negro laborers for his plantation,
lately visited Richmond to procure them,
having heard that there were hundreds of
unemployed blacks lounging idly about the
city. The morning after his arrival he was
directed to one of the localities where large
quantities of bread and soup are daily dis
tributed by the Freedmen's Bureau. He
found a ragged, hungry horde of nearly five
hundred persons assembled to receive their
usual supplies of food. To his astonislment
these applicants for soup and bread were not
all women and children. He counted one
hundred and eighty able-bodied negro men,
capable of performing every vanety of farm
labor. - There they were,with every conceiv
able variety of vessel, waiting for hours to be
fed by the Bureau. - To many of these idlers
he offered the' highest wages paid to agricul
thral laborers, and abundant rations of good,
wholesome food. But they all refused to en
ter his service, alleging , other reasons,
among
that they. ere, fed by the Bureau, and did not
wish by leaving Richmond to forfeit their right
to vote I •
A connESPONbEXT of the World writes a
lengthy description of the Capitol at Wash
ington, in which the statement is made that
during Adam's Administration he designed
an entablature,4which was wrought out and
placed on the exterior of the building. This
work, tae writer says, has been' "rendered
foreyer historical by the fact that on the day
of Lincoln's inauguration the an and scales
of the figure of-Justices fell bin' it," and
broker to pieeiteg on the mein steps leading to
the lialls of Congress. The ifteldent,to those
who have may 'possess a

correspondent refers to thet Ware statue of
Liberty that crowns the dome of the Cep
10, which, he save, d attbits_ it and shins it
down with a black period (whatever that is),
whereas, if it were of whiteinarhie, it would
lift the dome with it to an crier height in the
heavens-, - and seem like the apotheosis of
Freedom itself." It, looks much as If the
statue were a type of that other dusky

he "takes too much."

AT an election held' in McConuellsville,
county seat nt Morgan county, Ohiojor Jus

lord (Democrat) had 210 votes, and Capt. W.

Trtr. Duke of Marlborough, in one of hix .
familiar letters;says the first duty of a soldier
is to remember to be always a gentleman,
evenio his enemy.. Grant is a soldier, but t his
recent conduct towards the President shows
that he is no gentleman. His falsification of
'his word . to . the Executive would beat him
before the'people for President, if therewere
no objection to his policy or ability for civil
life.
Tm Tribune thinks the Democrats will
run Pendleton for President. Howeverithat
may be it is well to make a memoranduin of
the Tribune's admission that he is "personal
ly a gentleman. of pleasing address and blame
less life." It would be' refreshing, at least,
to have a President of persoialiharacter like
his, following the furJetions and pugnaciouS
gentlemen who -ha.vo tilled the Executive
office since 1860.
Tut way the South has been thrown into
the hinds of. .the negroes is shown by the
following from the Democrat, published at
paplejes Parish, Louisiana :
"In Rapides.they rejected four hundred and
fifty whites who had a right to register under
the military bill, and permitted as many ne
goes under twenty-one years of age to reg
ister and then vote. Such infamy, such fraud,
such bare-faced rascality was never before
heard of in any country."
Taanrrrox has it that upon the back of
every ten dollar greenback is printed these
words: "This note is a legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt." By
this it Will be seen that the principal
,of the
public debt can be paid by legal tenders, and.
that the holders of bonds are obliged by law
to take them. It seetns a little fttnny that ha
the face of this our Republican friends shouldi
denounce the payment of the public debt ha
greenbacks as repudiation.' '
AN ex.member of Congress, from Illinois,
who has been a friend and corilpanion of
Grant's from boyhood, had a long interview
with the General a few evenings since, and
learned from him that he blames his political
friends for all his embarrassments. He said
that be bad endeavored to keep out of their
meshes, but that they'had entrapped him be
fore he knew it, and involved him in his pres
ent difficulties. "If," said the General, "I ea
only manage to get out of this scrape,j
promise they don't catch me again."

noticing the condition of political affairs
in Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The
Republican press throughout the country are
industriously laboring to inculcate the idea
that there is a feud in the ranks of the Dem
ocratiC party in Ohio. In this labor they are
making use of two, or three injudicious arti
cles written in Democratic journals outside
as well as - inside the State, and who have
given some aid and comfort to the enemy.
We say to our Democratic friends abroad
that there is no division whatever in the
ranks of the Democracy . of Ohio. It is more
united than it ever was betbre, and will be
Lzmd unbroken in solid column next Octo
ber and November, laboring as a unit fax the
choice of the State, George IL Pendklen.
There is no division and no discord, except
in the imagination and wishes of the Radical
press."-

Thad. Stevens arose, and with a wave ofthe
band, said : "No such State as Tennessee,

and endotsement of that body. Reverse the

• Aar Ohio correspondent.-tells the following
about General Grant: "When he and Sew
ard were traveling about the country with
President Johnson, an effort was made to in
duce Ulysses to express himself en political
Subjects. ' Seward and several other, shrewd
fellows plied Grant with wine when he' was
here, hoping that it might loosen the Getter
al's tongue. Ho had drank a number of
glasses one evening ; and deeming, the OCCS,
sion and hour favorable, Seward remarked:'
'Well, General, what do you think of Ben.'
Butler ?' believing that, as Grant hated Bot-;
ler, - he would be explicit on the subject.
Grant seemed reflecting for a few seconds,
and then remarked very deliberately ; 'Ben.
Butler? Well, I don't believe in him much.'
Seward's eyes twinkled ; he had drawn out
the hero at lasi bet my pile that Dexter
can beat him any day' A loud laugh erected
the discomfited Seward, Who. is reported to
have said afterward that'Grant might...make
a very good horse jockey, but he way not
worth a d—n for President?'
TUE Mobile Times, which for a longtime
bad the flag of Grant for President, and Fes
senden for Vice President, tiring at the mast
head, hauls down its colari with the follow
ing editdrial remarks :
"The world has never witnessed a more
useless sacrifice of personal popularity than
that exhibited by the self-ordained suicide of
General Grant With every chance in his
favor to become the savior—the second fath
er of his country—he seems to have been
only inspired by the 'evil genius of disorgan
ization, and to have =bartered the highest
chances of legitimate fame for the gratifica
tion of petty temporary power. It there-is
yet life in the Executive Department, and he
"has actually dared to disobey the orders of
his constitutional chief, we hope to see Sher
man assume she supreme command of the
army, and finally bring order out of choas by
crushing down Congressional aggression and
military Insubordination. The era of revo
infirm is now opened, and the forthcoming
struggle against the odious powers of a the
- dolls Congress can be neither long nor doubt
ful'
A NEWS item in the Cincinnati Commercial
(Radii's!) says:
"In the Senate yesterday Mr. Hendricks
made a speech against the new reconstruc
tion bill. Mr. Sprague attempted some re.
marks in the interest of his constituents, but
became discouraged, and was assisted from
the hall by a sympathizing Senator:"
How 'is this? The Radical papers used to
teem with stories about the drunkenness of
. the late. Senator McDougall and Senator
.Saulsbury, but Sprague, Chandler and Yates,
Radicil Senators, were models of temperance.
Lately, however, not only are the drunken
Radical Senators attacked by Radical organs,
but a semi-religious and wholly Radical jour
nal accuses Grant of being publicly intoxica
;‘ .1, and the Cincinnati Commercial softens
:natter by saying, "but as this usually
hapi.ens on Sunday, it does not Obstruct pub-
He business or attract general attention."
TUE United States Senators whole terms
expire in 1860, and whose successors are yet
to be elected, arc Dixdn, of Connecticut,
Hendricks, of Indiana, Morrill, of Maine,
Sumner, of Massachusetts, Chandler, of Mich
igan, Ramsey, of Minnesota, lienderson, of
Missouri, Stewart, of Nevada, Frelinghuy
sen, of New Jers'ey, Morgan; 'of New York,
Ruckalew ,of Pennsylvania, Sprague,of Rhode
Island, Patterson, of Tennessee, Edmunds, of
Vermont, Van Winkle, of West Virginia, and
Doolittle, of Wisconsin. Of the nineteen- in
all, thus retiring,, six are now acting with
tho, Democracy, and the rest are Republi
cans.
THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial (Red.) relates the fol
lowing incident connected with the surrender
of Grant to Stanton:
"The President said, in a. conversation on
Saturday, that he would give $lO,OOO out of
his own pocket if the American people - could
have seen:Gen. Grant at the Cabinetnaeeting
on Friday, while questions were being put to
him about his action in the Stanton matter.
lie never saw a man look meaner or more
humiliated. 'He is not a big man; said John
son, 'either mentally; morally or physically;
but before he had answered the questions we
put to him, he seemed to have shrivelled up
into no bigger than my pot.' "
THE Tribune bangs General Grant in ad..
vance of his sentence, hardly a good thing
for an opponent of capital punishment to do.
If Grant "really made the promise the Presi
dent alleges," says the Tribune, "then he
must be a fool or a knave." Now, as the
fact that General Grant "made . the promise
the President alleges" is
: established by the
evidence of no less than four responsible wit.
rinses, the Tribune has thus committed itself
to the support of a candidate 'whom it de
nounces as either "a fool or a 'tease.",
JLY COOKE, the banker, says that a nation
al debt is a "national blessing." Cooke prob
ably mast* that what Is a blessing to indi
viduals is a blessing to nations. Our national
debt has been a blessing to Jay Cooke. From
a penny-a-liner, without a dolhir, its negotia
tion made him a millionaire, said to be worth
twelve millions.

31n. Enron—l intended to glie Yott the
reatilt of ant local election, but being Agent
from home some time I have - delayed tt till
this late hour. I once heard it said, "Better
late than never," so I will give it now. Could
I. but portray the picture in the same beauti
ftil colors as it was enacted , by the Rads, with
theirtieeret organization, whew they swear
oldlohn Brovin and the Black Crook, It
Jwould-pfrhape be-more A:iterating to you.
About six weeks' before the election these
loyal, Africanized, rantankerous chaps com
menced their - dark lantern rrforniances.—
Their first Inove was to appoint a committee
whose duty was to see every Rad in the
borough; and make them pledge themselves
to "stand by the nominees of their party"—a
very good idea for a locality where the party
had only two to one and two over at the
election last fall, which was as follows: Wil
liams 64; Sharswood 31. They made a
"grand-rally," had their -guards all posted,
each Bad advanced, gave the pass word to
the sentinel, received his ticket, marched to
the window, went through the ceremony of
voting; the result Is thusly—Rad 67;
Old
Democracy 42. flow are you Rad ? Now
here is one more item : Oki Brokenstraw
township has got the black vomit off her
stomach. In every late election, except last
fall, she has gone llad front 110 to 40 majority,
but tat the one this year she gave a a CRT Dem
ocratic majority of 41; ! Do you sec the "hand
writing on the wall Yes, some see it, and
are quite mad. They got together in small
groups to talk matters Over, and are using
every means iu their power to find out who .
among them are false to their faith. Some
say "it is the soldier?, that have got their
back up about the nigger ;" others say "it is
the d—n Dutch who have got it in their thick
heads that the Union Republican party are
trying to deprive them of their leer.' { - Up
comes their 1ft.:.1 O•irtre, with 1; ..iagacity,
.who tells them ail to iii yet Is well. He at
once applies a little. soothing 'syrup asu rem
edy by telling them the Itadie.tl party wilt
nominate Gen. Grant for Presiffeut ; thatwill
get the soldiers ail right;and the. Dutch will
have a living example of rye whiskey in
their candidate; 'they can't . tar. temperance
then. _ _ .
One thing I must say in behalf of eight
Rads. I would to Heaven knew their
names, but I am sure they will be recorded
in the. great book of Faith: They voted for
a soldier, for Constable, on the Democratic
ticket, whose opponent was a weak-kneed
Rad during the war, called a Copperhead for
cursing the nigger Administration. This
soldier was a member of the old Bucktail
regiment, served three years, never missed a
battle, never was in the hospital, never asked
for or granted a furlough, and honorably dis
charged, and is respected by all who are ac
quainted with him. His only misfortune in
this loyal, nigger hot bed Labia love for the
Constitution and. the tlag which he fought
under to maintain the old Union.
I am in hopes that we will soon get our
Democratic club organized. The members
of the party are in good cheer. I shall also
try and get a good respectable club for the
Observer, which has been of great service to
us heretofore and grows more popnlsr every
day. My best wishes for your success in the
cause you so ably advocate,
