WHAT NEXT2-AND NExrr

What use will the Radicals make of
their victory, now they have won it?" is
discussed by the New York World:
After passing over the veto of the Pres
ident their civil rights bill, and their Freed
mems Bureau bill, they could proceed no
further except by proposing amendments to
the Constitution. But amendments being
nullities till ratified by three-fourths Of the
States, the resistance of the South is more
effective in respect TO them, than the Presi-
dental veto Is in respect TO ordinary laws.
The veto can be overcome by two-thirds Of
both Houses, but the negative of thirteen
States, (kentucky, Maryland and Delaware
make up the thirteen,) on a proposed
amendment, can in no way be overcome till
the number of States reaches fifty-two-a
larger number than we are ever likely TO
have.
The South, then, has nothing worse 10
fear, as q consequence Of the late elections,
than prOtracted exclusion from Congress.
Negro suffrage cannot be forced on them ex-
cept by an amendment 10 the Constitution
which they can checkmate. New penalties
for treason are equally impossible, by the
failure 20 pass er post fdcio laws. The old
penalties have been remitted by the Presi-
dents proclamation Of amnesty and his in
diyidual pardons The State Governments
which have been formed in the South can
not be upset, because Congress never comes
in contact with them except in judging Of
their competency TO furnish credentials TO
that body. Congress having already done
its utmost against the South, that section
has nothing to fear in consequence Of these
elections beyond what it already suffers
Congress being powerless to wreak addi-
tional vengeance on the South, will proba-
bly, concentrate their hostility upon the
President. If they could replace him by
Radical, they might admit the Southern
Representatives without endangering their
power, and thus escape the odium-an odi-
um which will grow-of preventing a resto-
ration Of the Union. With every Southern
Senator and Representative in his seat, the
Radicals would still have majority both
with this Congress and the next. But 30
long as We have President disposed to veto
their bills, they would surrender their pow
er by admitting the South. With the South
excluded, the Radicals are too strong for
the veto; with the South admitted, the veto
would be too strong for them. IL they could
depose President JOHNSON, their chief OBJ
lection 10 the immediate restoration Of the
South, would be the Southern vote in the
Presidential election"

THE CANVASS OF DECEPTION,

Referring to the late canvass in the
Northern States, terminating in the recent
elections, the National Iatelligenoer says
with truth:
There never was a canvass conducted by
any party so entirely upon false pretences as
the one just concluded was managed on the
part of the Radicals. BY the obscurities of
the much talked of constitutional amend
ment, which few understand and fewer still
are able to explain, they sought to conceal
the real objects Of the Congressional faction.
They studiOusly avoided all argument or ap-
peals TO the sober judgment of the people,
ard resorted exclusively to bitter denuncia-
tiOns and passion-stirring exhortations. In
almost every instance the Radical maiori-
ties attained were the result solely of the
tornado of passionate excitement produced
by the incessant declarations that the defeat
Of the Radical candidates would give the
control of the Government into the hands of
the rebels who had so lately been defeated
by the Union armies.
Now that the election is over, and the
Radical leaders have begun to announce to
the victims Of their duplicity the real pur-
poses Of the Radical party, some hope may
be entertained that sober second thought
may take the place of unreasoning passion
and prejudice, and that the people will re.
cognize the delusions by which they were
misled, and appreciate the unpatriotic pur-
poses ftheir betrayers"

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IL. 1866.
YET UNEXPLAINED

From the Washington Republican,
Two days before the terrible Convention
riot occurred in New Orleans, Gen. BAIRD
sent the following important dispatch to
Secretary STANTON:
NEW ORLEANS, La, July %, 1866.
Hon. EDWIN NJ. STANTON, Secretary Of War:
A Convention has been called with the sane
tiOn of Gov. WELLS to meet here on Mon
day. The Lieutenant Governor and the
city authorities think it unlawful, and pro-
pose 10 break il mp by arresting the dele
gates. / have given no orders on the SUBJ
iect, but have warned the parties that |
could not cOuntenance or permit such action
without instructions to that effect from the
President. Please instruct me at once by tele-
graph.
(Signed,) A. BAIRD.
Brevet Major General"
The official memorandum on the dispatch
is a. follows:
SOFFICE u. S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH.
HEADQUARTERS WAR DEPARTAfENT.-The
following telegram received at 1920 P. NJ,
July %, 1866"
General BAIRD not only complains Off
cially that he awaited, but never received, a
reply TO this important dispatch, but there
is no evidence in the budget of official dis
patches, published in the Republican by au-
thority Of the Government some time since;
that Secretary STANTON euer answered the
above highly important dispatch himself,
and it is positive fact that he Reuer sent Il
10 The President until ueeks otter The riot
Had the President seen theabove dispatch
Of General BAIRD, the riot Of New Orleans
would never have occurred. Why Secretary
STANTON neither answered the dispatch nor
informed the President Of its existence, re-
mains unexplained to any one.
Notwithstanding this apparent great cul- |
pability on the part of Mr.. STANTON, no |
reasonable person can withhold censure from |
Gen. BAIRD for allowing riot and bloodshed |
and murder TO be committed in the streets
Of New Orleans on the 30th day Of July, |
1866. He could have prevented all disturb |
ance if he had simply sent one of his staff |
officers wearing the Federal sash and sword, |
not only to "have warned The parties" but all |
parties-conventionists and those who fol- |
lowed the Lieutenant Governor and city /
authorities-that he would not allow any |
unlawful proceedings whatever upon either |
side to take place.
II the so-called Convention" had COM
pleted its mockery in peace, no harm what |
ever could have come oft. 1t was not an |
occasion for riot and bloodshed. and nothing |
Of the kind would have occurred il either /
Secretary STANTON had faithfully performed /
his duty here tlOo days before the riot, or Gen.
BAIRD had performed his in New Orleans /
on the day that il occurred. The public /

EXPEDITION EXTRAORDINARY TO
MEXICO

From the Washington Republican.
With the authority Of the Government
we take great pleasure in announcing that
Hon. LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL, Envoy Extraor-
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Republic of Mexico, accompanied by L. L.
PLUMB, Esq, Secretary OF Legation, and
Lieut-Gen. W. I. SHERMAN and his Chief
of staff, viii positively leave the port Of
New York Tomorrow on board the United
States steam frigate S,lSgueAanHah. This
war ship viii be commanded by Capt. Al
FRED TAYLOR, q distinguished officer Of the
navy. Our Minister to the Mexican Repub-
lie viii therefore be Aanked by distinguished
officers OF the American army and navy.
The Susqlehdnuah will proceed without de-
lay, 20 a point designated in Mr.. CANT
BELLS instructions, and will there meet the
representatives designated for that purpose
hy the President Of the Mexican Republic.
The probability now is, that this extraor-
dinary Diplomatic, Military and Naval
Commission Of this Government will be
Joined by the L. 5. Gulf feet, and a de-
monstration will be made in assertion Of the
American doctrine known as MoNRoEs,
that will prove highly satisfactory to the
American people aud show the nations Of
the earth that, notwithstanding all their ef-
forts to prove to the contrary, we really have
a Government.

whites 10 that State during the last six wears
was 5000 and of blacks 81 900, leaving in
that State at present $4,000 whites. and

SPEAKING (Gpropos Of fast living) Of the
death of the late SIMEON DRAPER from
paralysis, n New York correspondent saws:
Paralysis, softening Of the brain, loss of
the use OF the lower limbs, apoplexy, now
so common among the prominent and active
men of this city, shows the peril of our
style Of living constant business and social
excitement, and the unhealthy modes of liv-
ing among us. There is probably not an
other city on the continent where men grow
old 50 fast. Men scarcely thirty years Of
age bear the marks Of sixty. A New York
congregation Of men is peculiar for their
great number Of middle aged persons who
have bald spots on their heads. A man can
wear out his nerves, exhaust his strength,
and produce premature decay, as easily as
spendthriit can squander his fortune. A
fortune Is easily made in this city but if
made on the high pressure principle a man
pays his health or his life for it."

more Mill," for manufacturing Cotton VI arms,
Gunpowder, and for Weaving, as also a Grist and
Saw Mill with all necessary buildings for families,

1t must certainly have been gratifying to
every right minded man to observe with
what unanimity the public press, not only
of Chicago, tut of the entire country bss
protested against the acquittal Of VIM.
Hops, the wife murderer, on the plea Of
insanity. But we question if the verdict
rendered will not ultimately proyela bless
ing to the community, as it has awakened
the public mind TO realization of the fact
that If the instructions Of the Court were
in harmony with IT, i.w Of our State, it il
imperative it should be amended as to
mete out TO the cold-blooded assassin, under
all circumstances, the penalty due to the
enormity of the offence Although one of
tbe most glazing. it ID by no means the onl,
example furnished Of the inadequacy Of oar
laws, in many instances TO punish the guilty.
Few Of our readers who have been careful
observers Of Our criminal trials during the
past Eve years need to be reminded Of this
Jact, and the sooner elective steps are taken

As the statement has been denied that the
understanding between the workmen and
employees of Troy and Albany, has been
amicably settled, or that the demands Of
the .noulders, have been complied with, the
following official statement from the Presi-
dent Of the International Union must set
the matter at rest:
HoLLID AYsBuRs, Pa, April "a, 1886.
TO the Editor OF the WoEKisoNAE's Advocate.
Ii gives me pleasure to inform your read
ers that the great Lock-out7 in albany
and Troy has ended, and as stories are put
in circulation calculated to deceive many,
wish to say that the Union has maintained
itself in every particular. The triumph is
complete. The obnoxious notices are re-
pudiated; the apprentice question remains
where our law places it. The helper sys-
tenn remains in the hands Of the men. The
shop committees remain a. before, and an
advance Of wages has been conceded. From
these statements the public can judge as to
the completeness of our victory.
The s Lock out'' still continues in Gin
cinnati and several other localities, but we
are perfectly masters of the position. About
a thousand men are yet out.
l wish also to say that the late appeals for
assistance from organizations outside of our
| own trade, made. through the columns Of the
National Trade ReUiesr, were unauthorized
by me or any other persoH having authority
in our Union. They were unnecessary and
uncalied for, and place US in a wrong posi-
ton before the community. Thus Tar we
have been perfectly able to maintain our
selves, and hope we may be to the end, but
If any time we should be reduced to the
necessity of asking aid Of our sister Unions,
an official call will be made, and in a proper
way; uutSl then We ask only the sympathy
and good will Of our fellow workingmen.
AT Labor papers please copy.
