WASHINGTON LETTER.
For the Democrat.
WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1896.
The telegraph will haSe kept your read
srs pretty well posted about the recent
movements Of the Radicals. That party
seems determined to obtain at all hazards a
ruling majority in the "Rump Congress-"
In order to override the wise and constitu-
uooAl efforts which the President 10 making
b restore the blessings Of peace and PROS
psrity to our country. The dsfeatOf the
Freedmsus' Bureau Bill warned the Radi>
cals that they were not strong enough to
force through . measure SO fraught with
evil and glazing violations Of the Constitu
ten - the Civil Rights Bill, SO called, and
they determined to expel Senator Stock
tan, Of Now Jersey, and the Hon. Mr..
Brooks, Of New York. in defiance Of all law
and justice. It il safe to say, no such leg
islativs outrages have been perpetrated
since the days Of "Prids's Pruge" in Eng
land. For the moment the Radicals are
triumphant, and John w. Forney, d. D.,
10 in scstacies ct the prospect Of Black
Republican triumph in Pennsylvania, and
the chance Of his being elected a United
States Senator from that State. But ]
think be altogether m;sunderstands the
signs Of the times; - there is every indi-
cation that the people Of the old Keystone
State arc beginning to grow SO weary ofthe
evils Of Black Republican misrule, that they
will entrust the helm Of State to better an
more capable hands. The sober, sound
thought Of the people will convince them
that President Johnson's policy means real
union, peace, and prosperity /; for the whole
country while the triumph Of the Radicals
will accomplish, (what the rmies OF tho
Confederacy never could) the healing up o!
the Union and the overthrow Of our consti-
tutional form Of government, and will inau-
guratc in its stead q mongIel concern like
some Of the South American Republics,
which will end in q military dcspotism. In
such struggle Z large majority of Ame;i>
cana will be found sustaining the hands Of
the President in his noble effort to maintain
the system Of government bequeathed to US
BY our Revolutionary Fathers.
The recent decision Of the Supreme Court
declaring that military commissions had 10
right to try citizens, is = death blow to Stan
tonism in this country. 1t is really crafty.
s~ay; and We are no longer subject to the
tender mercies Of the Bureau Of Military
Justice !" In which the ediets OF Judge
Advocate General Holt wcre went to pass
- we'll considered rules Of law.
W. are now we'll on to the middle Of
April, and. with the single exception Of the
Finance Bin, which has recently passed
Congress, there has not been one measure
Of general benefit to the "whiA man.
which has received the sanction Of this Rad
ical Congress its whole time and attention
having been devoted to the imaginary ben
e6t Of the negro" The Bankrupt Bill,"a
measure imperstive!y called for by our long
suffering merchants, received its quietus in
the House yesterday, and they are to be
Ieft to groan under . load OF debt which
they cannot carry, and tn cor ry is to be
deprived Of their enterprise scd intelligence |
at the time when the skill anu energy Of Ill
- needed to repair the fearful va1ts and
destruction Of the late civil war.
