SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND STILL.-The
New York Herald, q few weeks ago, sta
ted that Notwithstanding all the army re-
ductions which have taken place, there
remains about six hundred thousand men
still on the pay roll. 1t is well known
fact that there has alwas been nearly a
third more names on the army pay roll
than there were men in the field and
pay is drawn upon every name. 1t has
been remarked that the pay roll Of re.
giment is no test of the strength of the
regiment; men get killed, but their names
continue on the roll and somebody draws
pay on them. In this way millions of
dollars have been flched from the people
by loyal swindlers. Some have been de.
tected and tried, but their loyalty has
saved them from punishment. We re.
peat the Infamous boast of the Sacramen-
to Bee, an intensely loyal organ, ait pays
to be loyal" Had the swindlers not been
loyal they would have been punished for
their villainy. ItdOes "pay to be loyal" )"
Butler, Cameron, Jim Lane and other
scoundrels know it and are loyal.

GooD.-The Cairo Democrat Of the Sd

of the port at Paducah, KY, recently is.
sued an order for the release of certain
negroes, who had been incarcerated in
the city prison, for violations Of the mu-
nicipal law. Thereupon the municipal
authorities at once ordered the release Of
all white prisoners, on the ground that it
was rather unjust that white men should
be made to pay the penalty of the Law
which Chase's negro aristOcracy were a.

"CHAsE Men" The Auburn (N. y.
Register, the home organ of Mr.. Seward
says that Mr.. Harlan, Of the Cabinet, is a
Chase man, and more of Methodist
preacher than statesman that he has
"negro on the brain; that he is fanatic
of the first water, and that if the " Union
party" allows itself to be controlled by
such men it will not exist long. Speak
ing of the suburdinates Of the Treasury
Department, the Register says:
"Those places were generally filled by Sec
retary Chase, whose frieL:ds are making up 6
party prematurely against president johnson
for the succession. 1t is not unreasoDble tC
suppose that Federal office.holdels opposed tc
the policy of the Administration, VIII be allow
ed TO retire"
A fair warning. The question will
soon be Chase or johnson. The Office
holders will have to show their hands :;
those ''Opposed to the policy of the Ad-
ministration" will be kicked out of Office.
So says the Register, speaking, doubtless,
by authority. The radicals will 60 for
Chase, the conservatives for johnson, and
the coming session of Congress will de-
velOp the temper and the strength of the
opposing factions. Democrats will stand
by those who maintain the principles Of
the Constitution. They are not held to.
gether by the hope of spOils, nor will
they allow any set of men to dictate to
them.
The mountain Democrat., 1865-10-21

RADICAL DoCTRINE.-The radicals GO
on, step by step, in their crazy notions.
Negro freedom was not enough for them
There must be negro equality ; the black
men must be made electors and the white
men must vote for them. But this does
not satisfy the radicals. They are now
beginning to claim that the negro race is a
better one than the white, and that the
the blacks shall be respected accordingly.
Redpatb, fair representative OF the rad
ical party. has been in Charleston since
the city was captured, instructing the
blacks to 50 into public meetings and con.
troll them, and to assert controlling in
fiuence in politics and society. lie in
sibts that they have a right to every priv.
ilege accorded to white men, and to de-
prive them of any Of them is an outrage.
Redpath says:
cit may be said, as one friend remarked to
me few days ago, Better let the blacks take
care OF themselves, and put some one TO hiring
out and providing for the whites
A pleasant time poor white men will
have under radical rule! They must be
intimates Redpath, put under the last o.
negro masters!

INFAMOUS CoNDUcT.-Thurlow Weed,
the bosom friend Of M. Seward, has been
exposing some Of the lniqslsies Of Horace
Greeley and his radical associates and
among other things be raEers 10 the ar
rest Of Col. North, the Me- York State
Agent in the collection of the votes Of the
soldiers in the Presidential election. The
Republicans made considerable capital
out of his arrest, and made the ignorant
believe he was guilty of outrageous frauds
frauds which they perpetrated them
selves. Speaking of the arrest Of North
Weed says:
"The Tribune, through one Of it's ex-editors,
then Assistant Secretary Of War, kept an 10.
nocent man in prison 90 that IL could abuse
me, until the government found that its power
aud prison bad been abused to crafty Che per.
sonal mahgnity Of Dana aud Greeley"
The infamous conduct Of Stanton and
his allies in this matter, says the New
Hampshire Patriot, is thus fully admit.
ted. Col. North was kept in prison fof
weeks, without the comforts ordinarily
furnished burglars and murderers. The
votes that were entrusted to his care we're
detained till it was too late to get them
into ths6Allot boxes; and after the elec.
ton he was dismissed power and prison
having been abused to crafty personal
malignity." Stanton published what
purported to be . confession of Colonel
North'S, which he (COl. NJ pronounced
forgery after his release and his atten.
ton had been called toit! Who was the
forger?

PRICES. People sometimes express
surprise that prices do not come down to
the old standard, with the close of the
war. We think they will wait long
time before any expectations Of that sort
are realized. Gold cannot 90 much low
er, on account of the enormous demand
for it to pay foreign bills, and the general
conviction that it is a little better than
any other property in the market. 1t
will be long time before we shall have
anything else to exchange for foreign
goods We have no cotton, and it may
be years before We have great amount
for expectation. The unsettled condition
of the Southern States is not favorable to
its cultivation. Besides, how can prices
fall when everything is so enormously
taxed? People must remember that the
Government must raise at least $780,.
900, 1000 per year, on peace basis and
that all of this large amount appears to
them in the commodities they buy. The
shoemaker who pays his stipends to the
Government, must get it back from his
customers; and the farmer who buys his
shoes must indemnify himself by an in-
creased price upon his produce. To re.
duca prices 10 the old standard the Gov.
must be administered economically, the
army must be reduced, needless Office
holders be discharged and retrenchment
practiced in every department of the Gov.
ernment.

now editor Of the Chicago Republican. a

Dana says:
"There is, perhaps, no 9th er man in the
Northern States who, within the last three
years, has done 90 much as Mr.. Greeley 70

Dana knows Greeley. like book has
been associated with him and for years

IOwA.-The negro suffrage question
created quite q muss in the Abolition
ranks in Iowa. The radicals nominated
ticket, endorsed negro suffrage, and re-
pudiated the reconstruction policy of
President johnson. This aroused the
indignation Of the soldiers, and they call.
ed q convention and nominated . ticket
in opposition to the radicals, and this tick.
ct some Of the Democrats supported. -
They held no State convention and made
no nominations, and Of course the party
did not turn out in UAeir strength. The
leo ding and most influential Democrats.
felt Indifferent as to the result, and re
solved to let the two wings Of the party
fight it out. Stone was the radical can
ddate for Governor, and his election
must be taken as reputation of 1.-The
Government" by the Republicans Of Iowa!
If the Democrats had n1mi mated ticket
they would have elected it by a large ma.
jority, but they deemed it &dvisable to
keep quiet and widen the breach between
the two wings of the dominant party.

CoNFISCxrIoN.- President recent
ly stated to citizens Of Alabama that
property can only be con6scated accord

owners thereof and decree of the proper
court. This is most important state
ment, says the New Hampshire Patriot,
and if the President adheres to this course
it will not be long before the South be-
comes "paci6cated," Let him keep of
the ''loyal" blood suckers who are seek
ing to rob them Of what the war has left
Of their property, and he will do much
to restore real peace and prosperity to
that suffering people. They have been
whipped and they confess it, and that's
enough to rob them now would be in

Louisiana "to spy out the land on gov

the people of the South have no respect

They are "discouraged," because the

in bad taste and extravagant for 1.-THE
