STANTON AND THE CABNET.-Thc radicals as

ulate the army in their interest. This is .
very important admission, and only proves

the same game with President johnson that he

The NEW INTERNAL RsvEsuE LAw-we are
told by radical Senators that the present In
ternal Revenue law is one Of the best measures
ever framed Yet in the next breath they de-
nounce the provision doubling the tax on in
comes over FIVE thousand dollars % unjust and
wrong In principle. We imagine that the peo-
pie, under these circumstances, win consider
that The radical senators and Congressmen are
very poor judges Of The merits Of the law,
especially when they come 70 realize the fAot
that The tax On the specializing interest in
Wall street b reduced, md that on such neces-
ssry articles to every family - cotton II ID In
creased. Then again the tax on whisksy ia
diminished, while that on the crude or unre-
fined sugar is increased. A careful analysis
Of the bill will show that the tax on articles Of
luxury has been reduced, and power given
TO monopolies TO collect their sax Of the peo-
pie, while the necessaries Of life are taxed
according 70 the old rate. This h the bill that
the radicals call the best ever framed. The
people will be called upon at the ballot box
to give their opinion Of this measure.

The CHOLERA INFECTED DIsTRIcrs.-We pub
lished yesterday map showing the cholera
infected district in Brooklyn. From it may
be ascertained the character Of the localities
In which the epidemic prevails II will be
noticed that it exists principally in the low,
marshy, dirty portions Of the city. Why is it
that these localities have been neglected in the
sweeping sanitary reforms established by the
Board Of Health? That Board has done
admirably in this city despite the opposition Of
Injunction Judges, who care more for few
votes at primary meeting Of political sharpers
than they do about the health of the city and
the lives Of hundreds and thousands of men,
women and children. These Judges are will
ing to let contagion spread provided they are
secured in their seats upon the bench. Wehope,
however, that the evil of electing Judges will
be done away with at the State Constitutional
Convention. In the meantime we trust the
Board Of Health will not relax their praise
worthy endeavors to cleanse and purify every
locality where diseases prevail or their presence
is imminent; for the next three or iour weeks
are the worst in the whole calendar Tor epi-
denies, and no exertions and no expense
should be spared to keep the city and the
entire Metropolitan Health District free from
the cholera and other direful diseases.

CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES AND SOLDIERS
BoUNrIEs.-The bill passed by Congress at the
close Of the session to equalize soldiers
bounties provides that every soldier who en-
listed and served for two years shall have fifty
dollars bounty. Here the men vino endured
the hardships of the camp, often on short
rations, exposed to all kinds of weather and in
danger of being killed any hour, are now to
be paid fifty dollars increase Of pay or at the
rate of twenty-five dollars for twelve months
service. While the radicals go through the
farce of throwing out this pittancc as sop to
the soldiers they vote themselves an increase
Of two thousand dollars for twelve months
service. The soldiers endure the hardships of
the army and dangers Of battles and receive
twenty-five dollars per year increase of pay,
while members OF Congress live at first class
hotels, enjoy the luxuries Of the land, and then
vote themselves an increase Of salary to the
tune Of two thousand per year. The soldiers
should bear this in mind, and mark the differ
ence between twenty-five dollars increase
which they receive and the two thousand
which the radicals in Congress have voted
themselves.

The RIors AT NEW ORLRANs-The negro
riots at New Orleans are the results Of tho
efforts Of the radicals to breed mischief be-
tween the whites and blacks at the South. The
revival of the old scheme Of negro convcn-
ton was undoubtedly part of q plot to excite
the people. That the radicals knew all about
it in advance is evident from the recent speech
Of General Banks upon the Mississippi levGes.
He opposed the appropriation for the levees on
the ground that the negroes OF the South would
soon rise against "their oppressors," and that
the levecs would again be destroyed during
the struggle; and he concluded by promising
the blacks the assistance Of the government
when the contest came. These incendiary re-
marks clearly forcshadowed the present riots.
When the connection of General Banks with
the original convention, whose revival has
caused all this trouble, is remembered, his
speech is the more significant.
In the war Of races which the radicals are
seeking to inaugurate the negroes will certainly
be annihilated. The fate reserved for them
under radical rule is that which the Indians
encountered under the tender mercies Of the
Puritans. The New Orleans riots are but the
beginning Of the annoyances to which the
country will be subjected 80 long as the de-
structives continue to stir up strife by trying
to force the blacks into q social and political
equality with the whites. Such an equality
can never be brought about in this generation
or the next The majority Of our people con-
slider 1t contrary to the laws Of nature. Neither
can the radicals create any sympathy for the
negro by claiming that only rebels and cop
perheads have any antipathy to him. In Bos-
ton itself, the very hotbed Of radicalism, .
negro is not permitted to sit at the same table
with the whites. A wealthy colored man, from
Liberia, has just made the experiment, and has
been excluded from the hotels and boarding
houses. II is uselsss TO argue against nature.
The new civil war may come, but the negroes
will be destroyed and the radicals viii reap no
political benefit from the disturbance, and may
think themselves happy II they escape the
lamp-posts.

THE NEW FENrAN MANrPEsTO-Mr. Stephens,
leader Of one branch Of the Fenians, has just
issued another manifesto. We hope that none
of our Irish readers will be deluded by It
Enough money has been wasted upon this
humbug already. The masses Of the Irish peo-
pie have been terribly in earnest, but the lead
era have deceived them from the start. One
passage of the manifesto shows the absurlity
Of the whole thing. Mr.. Stephens says 81
repeat the men at home have resolved to fight
for freedom on Irish soil this very year, and
fight they will" Now If this information be
true, Mr.. Stephens has been guilty Of treason to
the Brotherhood by revealing 1t. He has given
aid and comfort to the enemy. The British
government IL now forewarned to concentrate
troops in Ireland and prevent any uprising.
Cannot our Irish readers see how this man Is
attempting to humbug them by such silly bonn
basts II he tells what b true he has betrayed
the Brotherhood, and II he tells what ia not
true he deserves NO confidence. The next
movement for Irish freedom will be secret;
nothing will be revealed until the blow is
struck, and, on the whole, we very much
doubt whether Mr. Stephens will know any
thing about the plans beforehand.

THE remarkable secrecy of the EN-

.
THE remarkable secrecy of the En-
peror of France, in preparing for war,
is mentioned by European correspon-
dents. A late London letter contains
the following:
"There are several submarine tele-
graph cables between this country and
the adjacent coast, and many lines of
steamers thousands of people cross
to and fro weekly; every English daily
paper of any account whatever has a
correspondent in Paris, or some other
French city; and yet we, in common
with the rest of the world, know abso-
lutely nothing in regard to French
military movements beyond what the
Emperor chooses to tell us himself in
the columns of the Moniteitr. We
such matters in Austria, Prussia and
Italy; the number of their troops, the
composition of their armies, the prin-
cipal commanders, and the position of
the various CORPSE but France, our
near neighbor, whom we can see with
the naked eye across that ditch called
the Channel, is u sealed book to us in
all these respects. When France be-
lieves her time has come for interfering
on one side or the other, we shall very
probably find her Emperor at the head
of n million men, and the army in n
finer condition and the treasury better
filed than at any previous period in
the history of the country. The latter
we know already to be the case, for the
current of gold from east and west has
set toward her during the past twelve
months, and the Bank of France, at
the present moment, has upward OF
twenLy-four millions sterling, (Sl20, 600, :

A Bio LEAP.-In large three story
house in Philadelphia, not yet occu-
pied, cat managed to get herselflock-
ed up. She followed some paper-hang-
ers, and didn't come out when oppOr-
tunity offered. She mewed for three
days in distressing manner, and at
last undertook to regain liberty. "Who
would be free," probably thought the
cat, themselves must strike the blow. "
No one knew where the key of the
house was to be had, the windows were
closely sealed, and all sympathy was
in vain. Yesterday morning her cat
ship was seen to emerge from the top
of the chimney, and to leap down upon
the roof. She was evidently weakened
by famine; but she crawled to the edge
of the roof, looked down for moment,
and then gave a spring. She turned
over several times in the descent, but
alighted square upon her feet, upon a
heap of soil in an adjoining lot. She
was taken up and fed. Not bone in
her was broken or dislOcated. The
house is a lofty one. Any other ami
NAL than a cat falling from it would
have been dashed to pieces.
