THE NEXT PRESIDENT;

There was q meeting of extreme radicals
in Philadelphis On the 23d ult., at which
speech that must have somewhat discompos-
ed them, was made by Mr., Henry b. Stan.
ton, for many years lecturing agent of the
American anti-slavery society. In giving
his views of the probabilities of the next
presidential election, he stated that the re-
publican party represented e population of
eleven millions north, and in the south
(exoludingEthe negroes, "a million and half,
while the democrats were sustained by a
population of nine millions north, and six
and half millions south again excluding
the negroes. Thus, north and south, the
democrats have a majority of three millions
OF people. Of voters, Judging by the recent
elections, Mr.. Stanton gave the republicans
two millions north, and two hundred thous.
and south to the democrats one million Six
hundred thousand north, and one million one
hundred thousand south: According to these
figures, he admittee that in the whole coun-
try the democratic party has majority of
five hundred thousand voters. As nearly
~ VIC hs&klaDtS pcIttlcdi "a re-
publioans is in the north, while that of the
democrats, or conservatives, is diffused in
about equal proportions over both north and
south, Mr.. S. Justly affirmed that mo such
sectional party could long msintain itself
against such an antagonist" He frankly
ackno wledged that the republican, or radi-
call, party could not long exist without the
aid Of negro suifrsgs-that il had nothing but
negroes out of which to construct q large
party in the south-that it was shut up to
this policy, and unless they could succeed in
carrying it, there was almost @ certainty
that it would be beaten in the next presiden-
tial election even though no votes were count
ed besides those of tho swenty-six states now
represented In congress" In support of
this view. Mr.. s. gave the following est.
mate:
Those states give GAG electoral votes, of
which 1874 are majority OF these the demo-
Gratis were sure of Delaware, Maryland Kentucky
and Tennessee, casting thirty-three votes, and
leaving deficit of ninety-one. The large states
Of New York, Pennsyl vania and Indiana, and the
smaller states of connecticut, New Jersey, Nera-
ds and Oregon, give just ninety-one At the last
elections these states cast less than 0,000 re-
publican majority. change of "a 600 IS
900 votes, or one in eighty, would carry them
to the democrats, and elect their president.
So, refusal of less than $4,000 republicans to
vote the ticket would accomplish the same re-
suit. Fifty thousand Why, so as the re-
publican party gave it to be clearly understood
that it had ignored negro suffrage, and turned
its back upon this great reform, twice sc, 900
republican voters in those seven states would
ignore that party, and turu their backs upon. it,
while in all the north the number would be at
least quarter OF million.

THE ARREST OF SURRATT,
His Arrest and Escape in ItaIy---A
Pursuit by Fifty Zouaves, Etc. Etc.

1t is stated that j. II. Surrstt (one of the
persons charged with completely in the assas-
sination of the late President of the United
States, Abraham Lincoln has been serving
for some time past in the Papal Zouaves, his
company being quartered at Veroli, one Of
the frontier towns of the Apprentices, near
Frosinone. He had assumed, and was known
in his regiment by the name of John Wat
son. Information of this fact having been
communicated to General Rufus King, the
Minister of tho United States at Rome, no
time was lost by him in transmitting the
news to his government, which straightway
instructed the General to take such measures
as might lead to the securing of Surratt,
alias Watson. In compliance with his in
structions, General King repaired to the Vat
lean, requested an audience of Cardinal An
tonellI, and asked His Eminence whether, in
the event of his proving the identity of Sur.
raft, the Papsl government would hand him
over to that of the United States. The Car
dinal Secretary promised the General all the
facilities in his power. A few days after, on
returning to the Vatican, General King was
made acquainted, by Cardinal Antsnelli,
with the measures he had taken. These
were contained in q series of tslegraphie in
structIons sent from Rome, with the CORE
spending telegraphic replies from the local
authorities of Feroh and Vellettri. They
recorded the order to arrest Surratt alias
Watson the successive steps taksn III com
pllanee with the order the actual arrest;
the conveyance to prison; the removal from
prison under guard of five soldiers of his
company; but the series closed with the an
nouncement that when thus led out, Surratt.
ALIAS Watson, made q sudden dash from his
guards, jumped over prsoipice more than a
huuHraa feat hiOh and fhouph hrtlv purau-
ed by fifty Zousves, was enabled, from the
fact of their preferring more circuitous
route, to get clear across the frontier into the
Italian territory. General King lost no time
in nmunicating the facts to his colleague
at Florence, and telegraphio instructions
have been forwarded to the towns on the Pa
pal frontier, and to all the seaports of Italy,
TO reoapture Surratt, alias Watson ; and if l
am not exceedingly misinformed, the Italian
government, in declaring its readiness to for
ward the great ends of international justice,
has intimared that, even in the event of its
giving up Surratt, alias Watson, it will stip-
ulste that his life he spared.

Among other propositions submitted was

proval by congress-, should be submitted to
the people.

large number of our radical friends are op-
posed to any attempt at impeachment, Al
though they bitterly oppose the johnson pol
icy, and condemn 1T as wrong, and a virtual
surrender of the government into the hands
of its enemies, they nevertheless seem to
think that the president has dcne nothing
which he mi ght net constitutionally do, how
ever offensive his action may be to the loyal
masses OF the country. A Distinguished
member from Indians, and strong radical,
by the wsy, expressed what I think is the
general judgment, when, in response to an

Sensible Talk.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The editor of the Iberville South has been
reading great deal of sotthern editorial and
correspondent writing ON the subject of labor,
and finds that while some advise US to hang
on to the negro" others talk about obtaining
"a supply of labor from The toiling millions
of Europe" others want to procure intelli-
gent labor" while many look anxiousiy to
China and Hindostan for relief Not one
talks of our doing the work ourselves.
He thinks. if we may paraphrass his
thoughts, we would do well put our own
shoulders to the wheel before we call on Her
culss, He says:
''The foreigners, the coolies and the freedmen
are all very well in their way, but neither the
one nor the other, nor all of them, will supply
the great void of labor, while we ourselves CON
tinue to talk, grumble, loaf and brag about what
used to be.
fThe stubborn truth of the matter is this, that
southern men and women and their children have
got to go to work, If they may reasonably expect
to repair their shattered fortunes, and render
"the land we love" other than Jamaican or
Haytien waste.
1.-THE age Of idleness is past we must all
work, or all sink. We have no longer father
plantation and niggers" to'fsll back upon. The
old homestead is we'll nigh valueless, and the
former slaves are freedmen.
"There is nothing left for us but brains and
hands, and plenty of employment for both.
Don't be so particular about the kind of Ia
Dor in which you engage. There is much OF
dignity and honor attached to one kind of honest
employment as another. Lay hold of whatever
you may find to do with a whole heart, with faith
in the just awards of the future, and our word

TDr. Wards prescription is the best we have
seen. We advise all to follow 1t.
