The Radical Ultimatum.

We published last week synopsis OF the report OF
the so.called reconstruction committee to congress
The New York Day Book in commenting upon
the utimatum presented to the president and the
conservative people, says they propose to ignore all
that has been done for the asour years to preserve
the Union and refuse to permit the restoration of.the
Tnuh for the four years. in form and reality for
ever, The Day Book adds, 'but while they do this,
end in refuse assent to the restoration of the
Union for the next four years, and in substance and
truth give notice that it shall never be restored, We
admit that there certain consistency in these
people. They formed their party, and sought posses
sion Of the government to change it from white to
ulongrc concern, like that Of Mexico and Central
America &C., and now the southern States being sub
ugated and poweress they propose to keep them out
Of the Union until they consent to almalgamat with
their negroes If they will do this-if they will &c
down. try to get down, to level with negroes and
commit social suicide Why four years hence they viii
consent to admit them in their "Union;" but il
the meantime, every man who has sought to save the
south from these hideous madmen is to be dsfranchs
ed and all above the rank Of colonel is to be debarrec
from holding Office forever Well, repeat, they are
consistent; they believe that they make Union OF
a mongrel basis, and they will, no doubt march for
ward in their GLORIOUS work" until their unatic brains
are knocked out they utterly ruin the country, and
the once proud unainted, and noble American people
collapse into hordes Of emasculated mongres, meaneI
and more hopeless than those of Mexico. If Mr.
Johnson stands in their way, they will doubtless i'm
peach him and set up their president, or perhaps
stimulate some vicious mulatto to get into the kitchen
OF the white house and poison him. Indeed, it is not
impossible that the elimination of the great American
tragedy will be at Washington, for driven to the
WALL president johnson has only appeal to the white
working of the district to clean OUT the niggers
white and black, both in the galleries and the floor
Of the capitol any hour peases. For the sane men
the honest patriotic and Unionoving democracy
the path is straight, and plain that may run
and read it:-"Restoration of the Union" made by
Washington, and left by Buchanan-the bred Scott
decision and the resolutions of l798-in word the
grand old union of States on the white basis made by
our fathers and which we are pledged to transmit
our children, and will have it if it million
Of lives to obliterate the abolition monstrosities and
restore it Gas it was"

THE TEST 0ATH.-"Iota," the Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, says in recent letter.
1t is certain that congress will refuse to comply
with the recommendation from the postmaster general
and the secretary of the treasury, of modification Of
the test oath in reference employees of these de-
partments in the eleven States lately in rebellion so as
to enable the departments to obtain the services of
suitable The judiciary committee of the house
have decided against any change of the law on the
subject. The senate has adopted amendment to az
appropriation bill providing that money shall be raid
under the act any person who has taken the test
oath. Thus it is made certain that the majority now
in power in congress intend to compel all who
lately in rebellion to forswear themselves or TO
create in the late rebel States large body of loyal
oficehoders out of such material as can be brought
from othar States L may be surmsed however, that
the laudabe and in wise malicious design is to over
the difficulty by selecting freedmen for all the
Offices which to be filed in the postal ana revenue
service in the eleven southern States"

the tender claiming that he entitled to receive
payment in gold, or its equivalent in currency.
Judge Hook delivered a very able and elaborate
opinion the point raised, in which he sustained the
position of the plaintiff and decided that in all cases

4 SUBSTITUTE FOR MAIL BAGs.-The postmaster at

ordinary wooden box bound with iron to enhance its
strength and durability, and varied in length and width
according to the number and size of the letters to be
forwarded. Inside the box iron plates, which
work on notched runners, and when the letters are
smoothly packed in, the plates closed upon them
tightly and it is impossible for the missives to become

boxes much handler, and the mail be packed
