The R0dicaI RebeYs,

Senator Doolittle, in his speech before
the National Union Convention of Wis
consin, showed quite clearly that ifthere
was any practical difference between
the Radicals and secessionists, it was so
infinitely small that it would puzzle a
man of the keenest penetration to see it.
"Why, fellow citizens what is the diff
ference between the secessionists and
the exclusionists?? What is the differ
ence between the disunionists who in
sist that eleven States have right to
withdraw from twenty-five, and the
disunionists who say that twenty-five
have a right to expel the eleven? They
are both born of the same falsehood and
lead to the same result; it is dissolution,
secession, and both involve the same
principle. 1t all lies in this: Have
States the right to secede, one State
from the rest, or the rest to secede
from that one; or, in other words, to ex-
pei that one: for it comes precisely to
that, and the doctrine of these exclusion
lists is precisely as dangerous as the doc
trine of secession. 1t is disunion, and,
fellow citizens, that disunion it is your
duty and mine by all honorable means,
tOprevent."

After coquetting for long time with
General Grant, and employing in vain
every artifice to inveigle him into 'coun-
tenancing the use of his name as the
Radical candidate for the Presidency,
the Radical wire-pullers have been COM
PEELED to look about for some other mill
tary cheiftain to rally around. After
searching in vain through the long list
of military heroes who have achieved
honorable distinction in the field they
have settled at last, for want of better,
upon Major General Benjamin F. Butler,
the great ''bottled up" who never
fought battle nor won victory. This
is nomination most eminently fit for
the Radical Disunionists to make. Cen
eral Buffers experience in sowing the
seeds of disunion in the Charleston Con-
vtntion, in 1860, proves an adroit and
INSCRIPTIONS Disunionist. His former
panegyrics upon the Divine right of
slavery render him peculiarly sincere in
his present advocacy of unqualified
negro suffrage, and his administration
of affairs at New Orleans eXemplifies
very strongly his aptitude at confisca-
ton. The nomination is singularly APP
propriate. Butler is che personification
ofthe Radical Disunion party.--Vation-

Results of Gambling.

A gambling house reporter of a New
York paper gives faro record thus:
"A well known newspaper publisher
and politician has lost over a quarter OF
million of dollars. A paymaster in
the army was defaulter $4,000, lost
in the same way. A we'll known Cali
fornian has lost about 100000. A we'll
known citizen of Jersy City, doing a
large manufacturing business, was COM
pletely ruined within short time at
the faro table. A young man keeping
books in Williamsburg became default
er of $4,000. He was the only support
of an aged mother, and was obliged
to flee his home. A man for over TWEEN
ty years in the employ Of an express
company, and having the unbounded
confidence of his employers, took to
gambling, and, in an evil hour, to get
money to play with, robbed his employ
ers, was detected, and sent to the State
prison for term of years. A young
man came into possession, on the 10Th
of May last, of $50, 900, and to-day he
has not got dollar, having lost it all at
the gambling table,"

LEAF FROM THE RADICAL" RECORD
rREACnERY, CowARDIcE AND INCONSISTENCY
OF THE RADICALS.

The following extract from the speech
Of Gen. Thomas Ewing, Jr., gives a
correct history of what is called the
" RADICAL faction from its inception:
But when the triumph of our arms
was assured-the valley Of the Missis-
sippi won-and the Confederacy was
seen to stagger in obstinate and hopeless
conflict, the councils of our rulers became
divided. The Radical leaders in Con-
gress, anticipating the end Of the war,
and the early dissolution Of the war
party, began to consult how to wind up
the struggle, so as to secure the dominion
of their theories, and their sectional and
personal interests. But they found in
President Lincoln an inflexible oppo-
nent, who would not turn from the
direct path of immediate restoration,
and who repudiated their theory of State
suicide, then newly invented for their
party purpose. On the Sth of December,
1868, President Lincoln issued his pro-
clamation of amnesty and plan of resto-
ration. All the Governors of the insur-
rectionary States were then in the hands
Of rebels sworn to the Confederacy. Did
he treat the States as being therefore
without valid Constitutions or laws :?
No. He treated them merely as being
without the machinery Of the laW-the
officers of government. Did he assume
to confer suffrage on whom he pleased?
No. He said suffrage was fixed by the
State constitutions and laws in force
then, as when the rebellion began; and
recognized it as purely of State concern
and control. He called on all the voters
qualified by State constitutions and
lawson all who had been loyal, and all
who, having been rebels should take
the oath of amnesty and allegiance, to
join in expunging from their State
constitutions and laws, all provisions in
conflict with the Constitution and laws
of the United States, and in electing
State officers and members of Congress
thus restoring the suspended relations
of the States to the general government.
He imposed no new conditions pre-
cedent and assumed no power as exist
ing in any department of Government
to impose any. He merely recommend
ed method for the people Of each State
recognizing in them the sole power to
elect officers and modify laws, SO as to
place the State in allegiance to the
United States--and pledged himself as
Executive of the Nation to recognize
and sustain each of such recognized
state governments. He recommended
the people to insert in their Consti-
totions IL clause declaring the then ac
eonlpiished fact OF the abolition Of sla-
very. But in doing this he departed
not from the principle that reunion was
the sole object of the war. 1t was no
demand OF Il new or extraordinary con-
'tltion, but only the recognition OF an

LUCK IN A BLACK EYE.-The custom
of throwing a shoe, taken from the left
foot, after persons for good luck, has
been practiced from time immemorial.
not only at weddings, but on all occa-
sions where good luck is required.
Some forty years ago cattle dealer de-
sired his wife to "trull her left shoe af-
ter him." when he started for Norwich
to buy lottery ticket. AS he drove off
on his GRAND, he looked round to see if
she performed the charm and conse-
quently he received the shoe in his
face with such force as to black his ewes.
He went and bought his ticket, which
turned up prize of e60O; and his son
has assured me that his father always
attributed his luck to the extra dose of
shoe which he got.-Notes onatle Queries.

REGULARITY IN FEEDING.-Maior
George Taylor, noted feeder of fine bull
locks, says regularity in feeding is in
dispensable. His regular ration to each
animal is eight quarts a day of meal
made of corn, rye and oats mixed. His
usual practice is to feed coarse hay first
in the morning., then dry meal, and
then two or three fodderings of finer
hay and rowen. After the cattle are
well filled, and about II A. M, they are
turned out to water, and while out the
stalls are regulated, cleaned and straw
ed. They are Immediately stabbed again;
as they gain faster shut up, and are ex-
pected to lie down and rest till feeding
time again. About P. M, dry meal
is given, then one or two fodderings of
hay, and lastly stalks, which answers
for the night. Every stalk and leaf I'M
consumed is removed from the managers
between the feelings. Only such guam
titles and qualities are fed as are likely
to be eaten entire and clean. The hay
is mostly pulled with hay hook, in
order to draw from different layers of
the NOW, and thus secure greater vari-
ETY..

A "Roll of infamy'' in the Rochester
Express ends with the following elegant
extract, applied to johnson, Seward,
Cowan, Dixon Doolittle, Weed Ray
mond, Dix and Welles:
"Men of lesser note we do not men,

a Cain, a Judas, or Benedict Arnold,
Yes, down! down! down to h-ll, with
their father, the arch traitor of Heaven,
and say that freedoms sons sent them

freedoms sons" had better get their
fathers permission, before they consign
strangers to his house in so unceremo-
NOUS a manner.

Support Congress-" is the Radical
cry. We should think, says the Provi-
dence Post, Congress had taken care of
itself pretty we'll, as they voted them
selves $4,000 each extra pay for their
two years arduous services in keeping
the Union divided. And the people
-have got to pay this in taxes. That is
quite enough for the people to do In the
matter of "supporting Congress-"

THREATENED REVOLUTION IN ENG

THREATENED REVOLUTION IN ENG
LAND.-The New York HralNs Lon
don correspondent, writing on the 18th
of September, treats the reform agita-
ton in England as an unmistakable
symptom of coming revolution in
that country-a struggle which will
eventuate in the people taking the man
agement of the government in their
own hands. The widespread combina-
ton Of the Fenians in Ireland, the ter
rible mortality by actual famine in In
Ola, with the late rebellion ofthe Jamai-
ca negroes and its consequences, are CT
ted to prove that the change would ben
eft the subjects of Britain at home and
abroad.

MIR BEECHER's SERMoNs-TheS SPRING
field Republican says: The New York
World now regularly prints Rev. Hen
ry Ward Beecher's sermon of Sunday
on Monday morning. The World says
Mr.. Beecher has ten readers in the
World where he had one in the indie
pendent. We don't know about that,
but we are sure the readers of the indie
pendent miss Mr.. Beecher's sermons,
and find the rhapsodies Of Theodore
Tilton very poor intellectual fodder
when taken by themselves. The indie
pendent makes a great mistake in its
petty intolerance towards Mr.. Beecher,
as it will find out when those who have
taken the paper for the sake of his SER
mons drop off.
