IN the Pt,sourg Convention, one Of the
speakers, Rev Captaio Moxhanl, Of Illinois,
i reported; As saying that the only rights the
Rebels had, was the Constitutional right to be
hung, and the divine right to be damned. The
christian philanthrophy which thus bIasphem
0u>ly marks the sentiments Of this minister Of
cod word may be taken as fair sample Of
thGt which seems to animate the Radical clergy
Of the North. As class they are undeniably
the most savage, vindictive, intolcrant and
tlo0G-thirsty Of all others.

The letter of Gen. Grant as ef1cctually puts
an end to the idea that he has ever said or
cone anything, indicating his support Of the
policy Of President johnson, as it does to the
reports that he has expressed himsclf as favor
able to the Radicals. What his private opin-
:ons are, probably, there arc some few who

\ friend in Fairfax county writes to us -

\ frIcud IN Fairfax county writes to us -
You were, according to my observation, quite
right in your remarks concerning the present
disposition Of the people Of Virginia as to poll
ties. They have no desire to mix themselves
up with parties, or to enter the ring as parti-
Fans. Even in their ordinary conversations
they prefer to talk about other matters. All
before them is dark and gloomy in reference to
the condition Of public affairs, and through that
gloom aud darkness they must go-but it will
De with manly step, trusting that beyond,
there will once more be light, if not brightness.
They have shown their appreciation Of, and
their confidence in, the efforts of the President
Of the i. S. to resist the cacroaehments Of the
Radicals, and further than this it is not rcces-
sary fox them to express opinions, or take ac-
iioQ.'
The National IntelIigenccr says: 'Onc Of
the resolutions Of the Pittsburg Convention
declares thar the acts of the President have
converted conquered rebels into impudent
claimants to rights which they have forfeited. .
Nothing can be more untrue or unjust. The
S0u!h has claimed nothing. 1t was invited to
organize State governments. It was told that
the Constitutional amendment must be recog-
njzol, its Confederate debt repudiated, and its
secession ordinances annulled. These things
were done 1t was invited TO elect Senators
and Representatives to Congress. This also
vas done. Their representatives We're exc;ud-
ed from their seats. Where is the evidence Of
any impudent' claim -

The Radical ma GRITTY 10 Pennsylvssis 10
snly about $4,000; ard yet they have $50
the "A members Of Congress. Hox this wass
effected is explained by the fact that the
conversational districts were formed by the
legislature in such manner that it requires
twice as many voices to elect each Demo
cratic member ss to elect . Radical. The
late election demonstrates the iniquity Of the
matter thus:
For the six elected Democratic Congress-
:ncn there were pooled no Iess than 29l 600
votes, which fact shows that Il requires the
enormous number Of forty eight thousand
tive hundred CAS- .bOO) votes TO elect Dem
ocsatic member OF Congress.
The eighleen elected republic cans poled
about II 800 more than the Democats-a
total Of S02, 800 votes, which feet shows
that Il requires only sixteen thousand seven
hundred (l6,7O0) votes to elect dsunion
republican.
II 10 not at oil wonderful that the Democ-
rscv should be overwhelmed when they are
required 70 cast nearly three times more
than the number Of vo,ss required ~ elect
q candidate Of the disunion stripe. The
Pennsylvania districts we're appestiened fos
this very purpose, and. though they ore IN
outrage upon the people, they serve The dis

Next to cottoi no article of commerce
was more affected bv our civil war, PERHAPS.
than sugar. In 1868 cane growing had
come to I've one ofthc most profitable branch
cs Of Southern industry along the Lower
Mississippi. The sugar crop OF 1858
amounting to ala. 900 pounds; while
that If 1881 reached the largo figure OF
62S,320. 500 pounds. and but for the inter
rup.ion Of the war, the yield, it is believed.
would BY this time even have exceeded this.
But cane growing suffered IN common with
ether Southern interests. Last year the
crop Of sugar amounted to only 1909
hcgsheada while for the present year it is
estimated At about 80. 900, which encourag
e. the telisf that the ante.war crop will DC
reached within few years. The soil and
climate remain, and al that is wanted is .
reorganization ef labor and increased cap
ital, which TIE lapse Of time will surely
aGdrd, hastsnsd 10 some extent BY the com
pasativsly high prices ruling. During the
last fe~ yeA-s the production Of Sorghum

sim Of the supply Of southern grown sugar
and mOlassse, and has 10 that extent check

WhslAsr The peo1uctioe Of soeehum will

greater with US than the rams Atlantic ns.
tions. Despite all that has been done TO
supply the deficiency Of sugar and molas-
ses brought about by the late war, by in
venting substitutes, and trying to produce
the needed articles in untricd fields, prices
remain very high. and this is among the en-
