THE RADICALS ANDTuE PRESIDENT

The Radicals are exceedingly anxious to
keep in good accord with the President
Patronage is power, and the President has
the patronage But for this fact, our iudgd.
ment is, he would be the subject of bitter at
tack. But anxious as they are on this ac-
count, to preserve harmony, it is impossible
| for them to conceal their restlessness under
the operations of his oonservatiS, policy.
The New York Tribune and its correspon-
dents come nearer speaking ont what they
really think and feel than any Of the oraclcs
of that party. The following paragraph from
! their Washington correspondent indicates
more clearly the relations between the Pre-
sidcnt and the Radicals than anything we
have seen. Speaking Of the Stevens rcsolu-
ton, the writer says:
The resolution involves ncithcra direct approval
nor q direct ccnsurc Of the policy followed by the
President; but IL docs indeed indicate that the re-
suits of that policy will not be accepted without
having FIRST been closely scrutinizcd. and that the
National authority will not relax its hold upon
the late Rebel States, until the guarantees given
for future good behavior arc clearly understood TO
be satisfactory. II is rumorcd here that the pas

KISSING IN the DARK.-A young lieutenant had
apparently succeeded in making himself exceeding
~ agreeable to married lady accompanied by her

indignation. moment more, and a smile lighted
up her features. What changes That smile, IL
was not of pleasure but WAS sinister Il was un-

which rejoices him apparently, very much.

Dear Ch onieie: 1t is customary, believe, for
persons to apologize for the non-appearance Of any
thing of general interest in their letters, but as
have no control over the events--interesting
otberwise-that occur daily shall have to chronicle
such as come to my knowledge, and may be deemed
interesting The city is dull and quiet, with
nothing of general interest to attract the atteLtion
of a stranger. Cotton, and business extremely
dull
The military authorities are engage in arresting
and forwarding to abandoned farms on the coast,
all unemployed negroes. Ten thousand have been
sent off under guard, and the soldiers are still
picking up all that are not employed for three
months and placing them in prison preparatory to
shipping them to Florida, Louisiana and Texas.
