The Radical candidates bceia very anxious to keep out of the way while their partisans at Washington, are per fecting the conspiracy which,it is hoped, will lead to success. Grunt is not to return to Washington until the election; but in the meantime orders will be given that the troops an J agents of tbo Bureau bo properly omploycd. Colfax has witdrawn his smiling countenance from the public, and has gone to meet his chief among tho Rocky Mountains, aud observe the progress of the campaign. General Howard has just started South to inspect his agencies aud see that everything is working smoothly for the oause. Tho troops of the United States, mid 'the Qenctals oouimanding them iu tho reconstructed States havo been put under tbo orders of the carpet bag Governors, to be employed for any service which the usurpers may requite. Tho conspirators, meanwhile, arc uncer tain whether they shall meet in Septem ber, arm tho negro militia, and carry the lection by force, or turn over tho choice of electors to tho Legislature of the Southern States now in session. Each of these measures is suited to tho genius of Radicalism. Nothing will prevent the adopting of the one or tho other, but dread of the vengeanco of tho people 8fTho attempt of the Radicals to etir up a military lever over tho nomi nation of Graut have boon most lament., ablo failures. Wo were tsld, when the nomination failed to create any enthusi. asm, that when tho Democrats nomina ted, sufficient spirit would be shown, but now when the selection has been made and made as the Radicals declare to thoir entire satisfaction, still no activo spirit is shown by the great mon Wo tell the reason of this Grant slaughter ed so mauy men in the bold movements Q 18Ci that the hearts of tho people turn frou him, repelled by his cruolty, and his abauichteacondujt in his oompli cations with ho President has forced upon tho public mind the couviction that ho is as unDt to fill an honorallo civil ponitinn, as he was to command and fight a brave and noMe army. Slaught. er aud deceit sit on cither side of this mar. aud tho people turn ftoui him in diaLuat. SuyThe bear iu Pan Rice's circus at Hanbury, Conn., a few dayssiuoe broke down the partition io his cage, aud near ly kihed the kangaroo btlore be was mattered. HUM I- FA HE WELL The Ruinp Congress adjourned last week, Monday, nftor having done ranny shameful things, among tJio worst tho admission of the carpet baggers from the reconstructed States. It takes a recess til! the 21st of September, in order to rest their fingers,and do a little clectionecrrng. They will get sufficient rest, so that they can go at the big jobs of stealing with renewed lest. Tlw Atneiickn Congress is now nothing but a body of sharpers. They plan to plun dor the people's pockets and call it "loyalty," Great and good men are outrated, and hooted at. Tho now carpet-bag Senators are clamoring for the Impeachment of tho President, What would be thought of a Judge who should demaud that an individual should bo brought before him so that he might pronoun jo sentence of guilty 'before bearing tho ..evidence. But these .new Senators havo no more conception of what belongs to them, than to' declare the President "'a criminal, and demand that they have an opportunity to" so pronounce him. " None can look to Congress as now composed, with any" degree of pride, but rather with shame. But it will not always le so let us hope, and let us be glad that we shall hear no moro of it at least until the 21st of next mouth. t?3t.Thero is to bo a picuio of fat men at Utica, New York, next month.

Halpine, better known by the sobriquet of "Miles O'Reilly," died at the Astor House,New York, on the 3d inst- He was a writer of g eat torco and ability, and at tho time of his death was editor of the New York Citizen. General Howard figures the ex penso of the Freedmen's Bureau down to about ten millions' of dollars, and Mr. Wells to about five, while appropriations have been made and consumed far ex ceeding the highest figure. Put not your trust in Radical cyphering. All Ready. A telegram from Wash iugton to the Frees says: " The military authorities here, in an ticipation of a demand for aid in quel ling disturbances from the Governors of the lately restored States, are anxious to bo in readiness." Wo do not doubt that at Grant's head quarters they are ready to make tho most of any opportunity that offers. The New Orleans riots, two years ago were deliberately provoked by the Radicals, and'served a whole campaign. If the negro governments can wear out the endurance of a single white man, it will serve as a pretext to call for more sol diers to superintend the ballot-box and repress the presumption of the "whito trash,'' who unreasonable rascals are not content in their servitude. To be content in a forced subjection to negroes, being somelhiug new to whito men, there is always a chance Jof some distur banco. In hope of which, tbo Radicals always keep an army ready. loy-Tho New York Tribune is out in an artiulo lauding the Ilaytian butcher Salnavc. It reg-irds him an "the only man who can restore quiet aud law." No woyder after that it should advocate Grant's election aud bitterly oppose Sey mour, Grant fought all summer ou Lis lino aud after destroying his army, ho bad to gut another and approach Rich mond tho next spriug, bv the James River Route just as McClcllau bad rouuimeuded lour years before. STILL TIIET COME!' In all parts of the country neutral and R idieal jounnls are running up the Seymour and Blair flag, and announ. ing their intention of aiding the Demo cratic party in tho present contest. Tho latest conversion is the Schenevus Monitor, a snappy paper publis hed at Schenevus, Ostego County, New York. In taking hiti new position, tbe editor says : We believe that a change of poliey and rulers must come. All havo wit nessed the dangerous policy and meas. ures of a Radical Congress and fanatical rulers; the timo has come that the peoplo are tired of disorder, and chaos in the government, and no sign of re-, construction or adjustment. Standing armies to koop an already subdued people in subnotion, with a paper cur rency, a monstrous debt, negro suprema cy, and continued violationof 6'onstitu" tion and law, all these sicken tho peo ple, and., a ; change is demanded. To this end wo add our iu'ito to bring about that change. ' , . 4 ...

Tho policy of tko Democracy is a safe one. It is adapted to the wants of the masses, aud just what is needed.and its merits we will discuss freely from time to timo. Wo are not bought, but act conscientiously, and as liberty and union loving citizcu.

Is this Union ? THE TERRITORY OF WYOMING. The Territory of Wyoming, recently established by act of Congress, is to be explored by a corps of - Geological ex perts. Their labors are to extond along the line of the Union Paoifio Railroad, from Cheyenne City, in the new Territo ry across tho Laramio Plains, as far west as Green River, iu tho direction of Fort Bridgcr, along the eastern slope ot the Rocky Mountains, south ward to the Arkansas River. The field serviae is restricted to six months, in view of the limited means available for tho service. The officers engaged will make prelimi. nary reports, in order that the Com niisioner may avail himself ot the information in regard to the resources of that part of tho country, and present the results to Congress ia tho uext annual report. Tho bouudarics of the new Territory on the South and North, aro the foity first and fourty fifth decrees of north latitudo ; on tho east and west, tho twenty seventh and thirty fourth degrees of longitudo," numbered from Washington, or tho one hundred and second and ouo hundred and ninth degrees, numbered from Greenwich. Tho erection of the new Territory with these bouudarics reduces the territorial area of Nebraska by cutting from its western cud two degrees of longitude. Wyoming presents a pleasant variety in its topographical formation. It has mountain ridges, anil at tbe same time a largo proportion of broad and rich valleys and plains admirably adapted for grazing aud agricultural puposcs. The Laramie Plains aud the Platte Valley cannot be excelled. There are other lo cations of equal promise, while the hills are clothed with forests of valuable timber, and filled with equally valuable doposits of coal, iron, gypsum, marble, and gold. The Territory is well water ed j the northern half by tributaries of the Missouri and Yellowstone; the southern half by tributaries of the Platte. The latter is tho principal river, and near its banks, as well as on the lino of tho Paoifio Railway, the first and most important settlements' will be made. The capital of the embryo State will proba bly be located, ultimatolf, at Fort Lara, niie. From that place 'to Cheyenne, a railway will bo constructed at' an early day. From the description it can be seen that Wyoming will offer superior inducements to hardy, industrious men, ond will no doubt, be readily populated. " Westward the Star of Empire takes its way." lhe Age. The difference between evil men and good, lies not in tho esteem ot virtue, but in the practice of it. The noisy pretender fails to impress the minds of observing people with a belief in bis sincerity ; but he who embraces every oppottunity for doing good, quietly and uuobtruaivelv, proves beyond a doubt that his heart is right. It is the prac tice of virtue that fits tho soul to a clos er relationship will Uod, uud secures His blessing.

Notwithstanding all tho power of tho Radicals nd their utter shamelessncss in the exercise of it, they have been signally defeated in every effort they have made to corrupt Southern opinion In the midst of the greatest calamities that ever afflicted peoplo ; struggling with want, threatened with civil war, trampled on by the military, they have yet through all, maintained their integ rity and their faith. At the olose of the war they calmly aoceptod the situa tion, showed a sinoere desire for restora tion to the Union, and cheerfully coop erated with tho President in his policy. They have firmly adhered to it, to this hour, as it was the only plan of re-nnion consistent with tho Constitution and the rights of the people. There have been fow men among them liko Jo. Brown of Georgia, eager to eat tho leek of Radi. oalism. The stupendous folly which led them to raise the standard of rebellion, has been atoned for, to a groat degree, by the constancy and firmness with, wkioh they have maintained their ground, unawed by power, and unsedu ced by patronage. The Radical princi ples and policy have taken no hold on' the minds of the people. The newspa pers established by tho Radicals'in the South are sustained solely by Congres sional patronage and exactions from tho negroes, who cannot read them, as soon as tho pstrouago of tho Government shall bo withdrawn, under Democratic administration, and the army and Bu reau removed, Radical organs will die away at once. The firmness and determination,and,at the same time, tho moderation with which the peoplo of the South havo re sisted every threat of Radicalism, in the midst of the miseries which beset them, would have taught any other par ty on earth but tho Radicals, tho wis. dora of practising a policy of magnanim ity aud justice, instead of coercion and revenge. They have met the desire of the Southern people for peace and har mony with iriiol-ce ; they have at tacked their firmueas with chioano.fraud and violence. It is no marvel at all, that the work of reconstruction has ob tained no solid foundation among the peoplo. Tho structure is as frail as tho card house of ohidren The negroes are inoapablo of giving it an inteligent sup-, port, if they were willing. It has no props but tho Bureau and the bayonet. When this scaffolding shall be removed down goes the whole fabiio of fraud, re vengo and violence, and the world will marvel at the blindness and infatuation of a paity which could waste its ener gies, and wreck its existence, in the at. tempt to fasten on the great niojority of the people, Constitutions and laws, ut terly repugnant to their ideas of repub lican government, and in defiance of their will. History furnishes us no ex. ample of tho success of a poliey liko that adopted by tho Radicals. Institu tions aro a growth, and are never begot, ten of the sword of the conqueror. When this reconstruction rubbish shall bo swept away by an indignant people iu the triumphant election of Seymour and Blair, the South will resumo the rights guaranteed by the Constitution, but so long denied by the Radicals. KENTUCKY? "Old Kentuck" Unanimous for Sey. nvmr and Blair Majority Sixty Thousand The Dcmoculk Gains Very Large, Louisville, August 3 An elec tion was held in the Scato of Xeutueky to day for Governor, circuit judges, Commonwealth Attorney and other smaller oflioials. The result is a great victory for the Demoorats. The follow ing is the vote in the City of Louisville; Stevenson, Democrat, 8,241 ; Baker Re; publican, 4U2. All tho other reg ular Deinoeratio candidates, ten in num ber, who were opposed by the Indcpen. dent Democrats, weie elected by major ities ranging from fivo to seven thous and, except Wcllman,for Marshall ot the Chancery Court, whose majority is twenty-nine hundred. Returns from the State, every-whoie, 6how a lage in crease of Democratic majorities, aud a falliug off of the Radical vote? Unless the vote is unexpectedly sniall in tbe in terior counties, Stevensors majority will probably reach fifty or sixty thousand. Negro Congressmen, Sumoor, in a late letter urging the eleotion of. no. groes totlongress, says it is tbe only true completion of tho Radical pro gramme. The bowl against the negro which is sometimes beard in the Senate would, cease. A colored Seuator would be as good as a constitutional amendment, making all backward steps impossible. It would bo the shortest cut to negro rule over us ail. Fill Congress with negroes from the South, and they will pass laws for us all. Let us defeat this scheme at the polls next October. TliE Radicals assert that a national debt is a nutionl blessing, and that the taxes now imposed upon the industry and labor of tbe country are not worth speaking about. But the people do not agTce with them, and that disagreement will crop out in November. The cluck of every marsh hen in Louisiana thrills tbe affrighted earpet badger with horrible boding of his en emies of the Klau. HENRY II. Above corner oj Main & Depot Street, J uly 30, 1 8G8.

A htt!o took place on the 21th of "July ItUveen the revolutionists and llic'trjops of Salnavc, which resulted iu a defeht of Salnave. The revolutionists have con. ccntratod a force in front of Fort au Prince, and aro pressing the siege with vigor. General Lynch, ono of tho rev olutionists, has issued a manifesto against the session ot any part of Ilayti to the United StatcH. General Boyer and his son have been murdered, aud depredations, and assassinations are prevalent throughout the country. In St. Domingo, the revolutiouary movement against President Baest is steadily progeessing under the leader ship of Geueral Duperon. A decis ive victory over the lorcos sent against Baeti, has been gained by Orgando. one of of bis genorals. Tho speedy fall of uses ana the expulsion of his govern, ment are antioipated.

A mere military man, or a mere politician is not what we need iu the Presidential chair.

No gaugers and storekeepers have yet been appointed under the new rev euue law. About 120 commissioners for the fojmtr class has been made out at tbe Internal Revenue Buroau, but the Secretary of the Treasury has not yet signed them. The Radicals have put the appointing power in the bands of Rollins, bis subordinate, but no officer can act without a commis sion signed by tho Secretaiy. A truly loyal citizen of Cincinnati writes to the Commercial that it Grant and Colfax are elected they will be assassinated before .March. The duty of every humane person is then to see that they are not elected and put in any such peril. The Press Fays that in 1860, no anti-slavery man could travel South in safety."
