meeting held in Washington, on the
9Th inst, IL was decided to await the
~
result Of the New York elections,
before proceeding to any decisive
action in reference TO the radical out.
rage in Baltimore.
If the elections in New York should
prove ms favorable to the conservative
cause as II is expected they will, IL is
believed that the current Of the pop

the North will turn, and the country
be restored to peace and prosperity,

that under any circumstances, the

London Times publishes significant
article on the probable destruction Of
the Imperial Empire in Mexico, thc
coming retirement ofthe French troops
from Mexico and the firm assertion OF
the Monroe doctrine ms a permanent
feature Of the foreign policy of the
United States government The
writer acknowledges, in the most com
plete manner, that the expedition TO
Mexico was undertaken at a moment
when il was firmly believed abroad the
Union was permanently broken by the
Effects of the late war, that the
condition Of affairs has been materi-
ally changed since by the assertion of

leon is the man who should be econ
doled with on account of the final up

The Elections.

Our dispatches this morning give
partial returns from a number Of the
States where elections were held or
Teusday. Massachusetts, AZ wa
expected, has gone seventy thousand
for the Republicans, and, as If e
prove that she is paacticing what
she has been preaching, elected
two negroes TO the Legislature VIZ
get very little from Missouri In the
first district Gen. Pile, Republican
has defeated Jno Hogan, who received
a majority Of ,245 at the last election.
IN the 7th district y. +. Mclean Is
reelected over Geo A. Hawley, the
Democratic candidate We are moi
surprised at Mclean's success as his
majority ia 1864 was 1866, but
we certainly did look fe Hogan's re-
election. So far as heard from the
I Republicans have gained one Con.
gresham in Missouri. There are
seven districts TO report yet
In little Delaware, Gov. Salisbury
has defeated the present Republican
incumbent, for Governor, and Jno
A. Nicholson is reelected to Con
gress over McKim. This Is a gain Of
a Governor by the Conservatives in
Delaware.
In Wisconsin the Republicans claim
a majority Of $4,000, yet they could
not overcome G. A. Eldrige in the
1th District. Two years ago his ma
jority was lG31-now it is put down
at 5000. lie is probably the only
Democrat elected so Wisconsin will
stand five Republicans and one Dem

There has been u Democratic tri
umph in Maryland. Francis Thomas,
however, is reported elected TO Con-
B'thn rum but btu DlHIIlct ny AuoO
majority. At the last election his ma
jority was 1,31S--quite a falling Off
AS the returns stand, Maryland has
-four Democrats and one Re.
publican.
New York is claimed by the Re
publicans, and 5000 said to be the ma
jority--quite falling Off in the Rad
zeal vote. The returns are not suf
ilciently clear to show the Congress

look for a small Administrator gain
Illinois goes Republican of course,
and sends John A. logan to Con

Political .ScI.e1.ae1.s.

The New York Tribune declares: cit
is perilous to liberty to leave her inter-
ests in the hands of scheming, tempor-
izing politicians" The people should
therefore, beware of entrusting the Rad
icals further with power. According to
Wendell Philips, the constitutional
amendment is but an "electioneering
trick" to bridge over the fall cleo
tions. Congress schemed and temper
lied for eight months in the effort to
devise some plan of reconstruction. 1t
temporized with the negro suffrage in
this District, the bill having passed the
House, but being purposely delayed in
the Senate. It was guilty of the disrer-
utable scheme ofconnecting the soldiers
bounties with the increase of members
pay. The Radical politicians concocted
a grand project of welcoming the South
ern loyalists by sending their leading
men from all the Northern States to
hold an associate convention with them
in Philadelphia; but finding that these
gentlemen without constituencies were
in earnest about negro suffrage, they
temporized in the issue, and adjourned
sine die.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PREsI-
DENT.-Mr. Bingham, of the Ohio Con-
gressmen, went SO far in a recent speech
as to say that if reelected:
$50 help me God, will neither give
sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my
eoe-lids, until shall have drawn bills
Of impeachment against Andrew john
son."
This Is the intention-and Bingham
is a leading light among the Radical
members of Congress. Re-elect enough
OF these men, and we have the country
convulsed by q trial Of Impeachment
which will shake its commerce and
trade from top to bottom, and from bot
tom to top.-N Y. Express.

One of the Radical writers says there
is painful feeling abroad, irresistible
by means ofmany corroborative circum-
stances, that the Presidents mind is
more or less affected by the cares Of Of
fics:" We are of opinion that there is
a still more painful feeling abroad in
the minds OF certain subordinate office
holders, more er less produced by anxi-
cites about losing office. The alleged
insanity of the President may exhibit
itself in a violent assault upon the spoils
men, and hence the necessity of prepar-
ing for him the straight jacket of inn
parchment.

-AMtlreaV johnson.

The editor of the st. Louis Christian
Adrocate puts forth the following as
piece of information and advice to the
opponents of President Johnson:
1t was just twenty-nine years ago last
month, since this writer first saw and
heard Andrew johnson. Since when,
he has noticed his public course care
fully. His opponents will And him a
man difficult to be managed. He has a
mind and a will of his own, and is not
to be pulled this way, just to suit the
whims or the interests of mere cliques,
or mere seekers of place and power. You
may smile on him, or you may frown
on him; you may praise him, or censure
him; bless him or curse him, but when
he "sets his head' he "goes ahead"
and generally understands very we'll
where he is going, and how he is to get
there. With him, democracy-that is
government by the peoples next to
Christianity. Hethinks both are heaven
born and heaven bound, and his conf
dence in the people, en- musse, amounts
almost to a passion. He is the most
shrewd calculator as to the course of
events in the future in all this country.
In this respect he has rarely or never
UCCil iiIlSttthCu. liz 10 VI tllC DCORlG, ttllu
he is with the people. His habit of
thought, his tones of feeling, and his
sympathies are all with the people.
With them he is more at home, and
enjoys himself more than anywhere
else; and his influence with an over the
masses is prodigious. He knows their
hearts and feelings, and knows just how
and when to appeal to them. So when
Won seq him strike ont in any nqrtiCIIlar
course, or, if you please, in any line Of
policy, you have good reason to suppose
the mass of the people are there also.
All this is said without any special
admiration for the man, as the writer
never had any. It is said because it is
honestly believed to be true, and to
advise his opponents of the character Of
him with whom they have to Go. They
will find him "a hard NUT" and if this
is unwelcome advice to them, why it
costs them nothing.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
The following resolution was passed by
vote of sixty-seven to eleven in one
branch of the negro suffrage convention
at Philadelphia, which was attended by
Governor Boreman, A. w. Campbell
and other prominent Radicals of this
State:
"There can be no safety for the country,
unless the Government, by natural and
appropriate legislation enforced by ma
tional authority, shall confer on every
citizen In the State we represent, the
American birthright of impartial suf-
frage and equality before the law.o

BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-A writer,
whose life has passed its meridian, thus
eloquently discourses upon the speedy
flight Of tune:
Forty years 0ifcu seemed " long and
weary pilgrimage to make. 1t now
seems but a step; and yet along the way
are broken shrines, where thousand
hopes fade into ashes, footprints sacred
under their drifting dust, green mounds
where the grass is fresh with the water
ing of tears, shadows even in which we
should not forget. We will garner the
tened steps and hope, push on towards
and the storms never beat"

DEATH OF Hon. HENRY MAY.-Hon.
Henry May, of Baltimore, a brother Of
DR.. May, of Washington, D. c., and OF
Capt. Charles May, who distinguished
himself in the war with Mexico, died

May was one Of the ablest members of
the Maryland bar, and was formerly

afterwards represented by the late H.
Winter Davis. His age was about 46
years.

BLURTING THE TRUTH.-The editor of
the Independent, who has been in full
consultation with his party, says:
mo leading Republican in Congress
means to admit the ten waiting States
simply on the adoption of the cOnstitu-
tional amendment. These States are to
citizens, without distinction of race. A
reconstruction of the Union ON any 9TH
er basis would be q national dishonor.
Until the rebel States can come back on
this basis, they shall not come back at
ALL"
This is frank and free admission
The South may adopt forty Constitu
tiOnal amendments, but never be read
mitted into the Union until negroes vote
there.-N. Y. En-

The halfinterest in the race horse Dex-
ter belonging to the late George Trus-
sell, has been sold by Charles B. Pope,
Esq, administrator of his estate, for the
SUM of $1,000 cash. The purchaser
Was A. w. Fawcett, who owned the
other half interest in the animal. The
horse was originally purchased by Trus-
sell and Fawcett for $4,000. In the
last four months the horse earned for
its owners more than $l3,O 600, of which
90, 900 were clear profit.

Tar Payers Read.

InafEc. 9, Art. 5th, of the Constitution
or 1t Virginia, it is provided as fol-
To- ssThe Governor shall reside at the
e of Governments; shall receive two
tuDand dollars for each year of his
1{1ce, and during his continuance in
Us shall receive no other emOlument
Nun this or any other Government
u Chapter 100 of the acts of the last
qslature is the following: "For tho
GGNeFnor for rent of..executive mansion,
secxs hundred and ffty dollars"
What right had the Legislature to
pay Governor Foreman seven hundred
and fifty dollars more than the Consti-
tuition of the State allows him? 1t is a
Constitution above noticed, and is in
creasing his salary by nearly one half
over what he agreed to clio the work of
the office for.
The Auditor is allowed by the Con-
stitution, fifteen hundred dollars year
salary. The Legislature, in the same
chapter increases his pay by allowing
him sic hundred dollars, for house-rent.
The Secretary of State is allowed by the
kGUnstitution, thirteen hundred dollars
3lary. The same Legislature allowed
HIM four hundred dollars for house rent.
The Treasurer of the State is allowed
lburteen hundred dollars salary. This
anne Legislature allowed him taco HIM
x5retz dollars for house rent. This same
! law allows the Adjutant General fifteen
hundred dollars year salary, and the
same Legislature added two hundred
dollars for his house-rent.
The above is a fair sample of Radical
economy and Radical regard for the re-
Quirements of the Constitution. The
Constitution says 1.-TWO thousand dollars
year" and mo other emoluments.o
The Radicals say 1.-TWO thousand dollars
i year, and seven hundred and fifty dol
Hi for house rent
Now, if these Radical gentlemen cam
not perform the duties of their offices at
thesalaries provided by the Constitution,
why are they seeking reelection? If
the salary provided by the Constitution
issufiicient to induce these gentlemen to
run again, why did the Legislature vie-
late the Constitution to increase the pay
Of these officials? Are taxes such q lux
ury that our people-loving Legislators
had to hunt up objects on which to throw
away the peoples money? Would it
not be well enough at the next election
to elect men who can and will do the
work of these offices for the price fixed
~ the Constitution? We hope the peo-
pleWill make theexperiment. AS we'll

priation to pay their own board and
