from the New York Times, Repub.l
Moro About What the Radicals Pro-
DOses

Radical violence in the caucus should
be studied in connection with Radical
correspondence in thepress. Each helps
to elucidate the other. Together they
amount to quite enough to show the ne
cessity of vigilance and effort on the
part of the conservative members of the
Republican party, if they would avert
difficulties more serious than those al
ready encountered. As an illustration,
read this, from the Washington cores
pondence of the Rochester Democrat
Another of the Secretaries, the ablest
of them all, said to Senator yesterday,
who was bitterly denouncing the con-
duct which was robbing the country of
the fruits of The past sacrifices: Yes,
Senator, it is, but it will be worse before
il is better The Cabinet discussion is
believed to relate to the Wholesale re-
| morals from Office, which it is now
known beyond doubt is determined
upon. If Congress shall checkmate this
desperate treachery by the passage Of
the bill reported by Judge Trumbull, we
may look for series of acts which will
end in the Impeachment of Mr.. Johnson
There are not fe,0 acho believe there can bt
no swfety for the Republic tchile this desper.
ate aduenturer remains in the Erecus
tie chair These persons are not
unwilling to give him the chance to
commit that suicidal act which will
make his removal necessary This may
be considered wild talk; but it is neces
sary to speak out plainly. Ambiguity
in phrase or action now is as much
treachery as it would have been to desert
the colors or tand still on the field of
battle"
OF course the Secretary referred to is
mythical, as the Secretaries of Washing
ton correspondents usually are. The re-
mark attributed to him, however, is not
very bad after all. The position may be
woi before it is better-certainly it
will be, if tbr Radicals be allowed TO
have their w. And even Secretary
might say s, without being guilty of
treason Yet his trivial incident, which
may or may It be true, is made a pre-
text for repea ing stereotyped abuse of
the President and for familiarizing the
Raj cal mind With a sense of the neces.
sity of reno ing him at any cost, by
Il otherwise. The talk is
nops ense, SEEING that President John
sons great sit, in Radical eyes, is-not
violations of the Constitution, but-a
too rigid adherence to its letter and
spirit. But " is one OF many signs
pointing to j. cody strife, unless the
Union sentim mt of the country rally to
restl ain and Put down the authors of

A Ghost in Kentucky.

That ghost, whose nocturnal peregri
nations in the neighborhood Of the rail
road bridge over Silver Creek have
caused some considerable excitement
still Insists on ohasing people. The New
Albany Ledger says that Oh Saturday
night his ghostship appeared in due
form and sepu chral attire to the watch
man ut the bridge, (not the one chased
away on Thur day night,) and, as the
wa lehman say walked up to him and
deliberately lid his hand upon his
shoulder Human Waterman could not
stand such supernatural familiarities,
although he's lily armed with two or
three revolver. and so he cut and run.
Tho racs was IN exciting one For a
time the watel man was ahead but soon
the ghost danl ed him, and then it came
alongside, anci darted in before him,
then seized him by the coat-tail and
moaued out n doleful tones Lost !,

dure such terrible visitation, He fred
upon the ghosr but his ghostship only
replied with lound, defiant laugh, and
sprang upon u 8 shoulder of the fright

reached the CT, :, and all efforts to induce
him Ia return ~ duty failed. He saws
the ghost is irritable one, and that all
the money the ailread ever made could
not induce him to watch that bridge
alone after night. The age OF supersti.
tioh has not passed away, as this Silver
Creek bridge affair plainly demonstrates.
