THAT Eagle.

The Bedford Loqfirer, Of last week,
has a most astounding tale abouta bird
which flew overthc st. Clairand Union
delegation to the Radical meeting, and
then perched on a tree and eyed the
motley procession. The inquirer is in
formed that is was an E|lgi@! and there
upon permits Interpretations feelings to
carry it into ccstacies over the wonder
full bird. Well, "ihcre is but one step
from the sublime to the ridiculous. y
We are informed by afarmer who lives
near where this remarkable bird made
its singular flight, that itc couruSz Of q
dead horse lies not far from that place,
that Il number OF buzzards had been
feeding upon it and that one Of these,
smelling the corruption Of Radicalism,
was induced to leave, for a moment,
his stvory feast, with view OF fora
ging upon the Radical delegation. our
informant states that he saw the bird
flying over the delegation, and that it
was really one Of the huzzards that had
been feeding on the dead horse. Bully
for the eagle.

every body know. that the President
has signed the bill, that it Is now Il law,
and that all that Is to be done is for the
proper Department to decide whether
under its provisions it Is authorized to
pay out these bounties, and when it
willpay them. After the bill was sign
ed by the President, he had no further
control over it, as it passed out of his
hands and took its place among the
statutes of the Cuited States. How
shamefuiand how atrocious, then, is the
effort to hold the President responsible
for what not he, but Congrea, alone,
should bc blamed. But such is the
mode Of eIcctioncering adopted by the
Radicals.

week lsee Bedford Haquira' of Sept. y:
"Eesolraa, That the thahks Of the
friends of liberty and equal rights
throughout the world and especially OF
thcpcople Of the United States are en-

nNfiSm. ~

Already il Is computed that during
and since the war, one-Iourth part Of
those who were in bondage are in their
graves. And the process OF obstruction
will 70 on rs long as the agitation is
kept up, and until the race for which
the Radicals affect 50 much regard has
become epartiaiIye&tinct. This is their
humanity.
Would not every Workingmon, Ia
borer, and artisan like to vote himself
seventeen months back pay;and increas-
ed sixty per cent. at that" That is what
this Radical Congress has done. And,
what is more every worisingmen, la
borer and artisan will have to pay his
share of the tax required to make up
this extra compensation.
The leading spirits Of the Ilti of
August Convention were Senators Cow
an, Doolittle and Rcverdy Johnson,
and Generals Steedman, Custar and Da-
Wis. The orators of the late Radical
Convention were Fred. Douglass, Ben

Legislature voted for, will be voted on
another slip, labeled County," andall

In order that our readers may judge for
themselves we give IeIow the h,qnireI'&

in any thing, it was in this, that we did
not make his speech quite as black as
the inquirer reports it. See for your
selves:

port a sentence from Mr.. Stevens
speech which it does in this wise:
