Going to Ruin.


The New York Spirit of the Times, ed
tied by Geo. Wilkes, a mostviolent Rad
ical organ, agrees with Wendell Phillips
that 0the seeds of dissolution have sbeen
sown in the Republican party" and that
it is rapidly going to ruin. It says:
"The Republican majority in Congress,
needless of the lessons of history, and
needless Of the inexorable laws of revolu.
ton, has taken its course, and must abide
the inevitable penalties of error. Those
erratic philosophers within its ranks, who
are already sighing that its majority is too
large, need sigh no more. The President
will be speedily reinforced, not only by
the reconstructed South, but by sufficient
defections from the Republican party, to
put an end to the two-thirds votes which
have heretofore embarrassed him."
The people of Connecticut have taken
some pains to crafty those Republicans
who think they have too large majority
in Congress, by turning out three of the
most violent Radicals and filling their
places with Democrats. As the elections
roll around, other States will follow the
example which has thus been set.

whom We expect tolise and act for the
common benefit and glory of common
country-for the purpose of compelling
them to make the negro their political
equal, had much to do with producing
the defeat Of the Republicans in Connec-
ticut; and it will have its effect every
where as time rolls on and passion gives
way to reason. The sober second thought
will always. sooner or later, come to the
rescue of the American, people. That
sober second thoughts beginning to take
possession of the popular mind; and the
result will be that the opposition to all
these ultra schemes of the Radicals will
be very generally successful.

An Admission.

Senator Ferry, Of Connecticut, who is
an ardent Radical in politics, is out in a
letter endeayoring to explain the cause
of the defeat of his party in Connecticut.
He admits frankly. that the cause of the
defeat--the change which made Connec-
ticut a Democratic from Radical State
lis directly traceable to the Military
Despotism Bill. He says:
ssNow, it is true that the necessity and
expediency of this bill were directly in
issue in the election of last Monday
A majority of our people-no matter
under what influences, no matter what
mistaken impression, no matter how much
turned aside by local or personal consid-
eration-did last Monday cast their votes
against the bill, and Mr.. English's ma
| jority of nine hundred shows the exact
preponderance of sentiment in Connecti-
cut, on that day, in. reference to that
particular mode of reconstruction.
This is honest and frank and doubtless
ltells the truth as the cause Of the result.
AT the last national election for members
of Congress, the Radicals had ten thous-
and majority. They are now beaten
nearly two thousand on Congressmen--a
gain of twelve thousand on ninety thous-
and votes polled This is ratio Of
gain large enough to give us Ohio and
nearly all the Northern States. Such,
then is the first workings Of the Military
Despotism Bill
1t beats its friends in the first State
election that comes off after its passage.

The Recoil Of Radical violence.

Affiiction, it is said humbles if it does
not purify the spirit. leads to self-exam-
ination, and thence to confession Of sins
The result Of the Connecticut election
has produced some such wholesome man
iiestatious upon the Republican presses.
They are not only humbled, but they are
confessing publicly the sins Of the party.
We are struck with what one of them
says-the Albany(N. Y, } Evening jour
nal, the central State crgan of the New
York Republicans Thatpaper says the de-
feat Of the Republicans was caused by the
s.insane course Of men like Butler and
Ashley, who for the sake Of fictitious
fame, have insisted against the wise judg-
ment Of their colleagues, in pushing the
impeachment moyement-coudueting it
with virulenee and lack of regard for
the ordinary rules Of decensy, which
have we'll nigh converted the offending
Executive into martyr. Thad. Stevens,
always impraeticablein bis best moods,
must needs 60 beyond every authgrita-
tive exposition of party doctrine, to pro-
mulgate his ideas Of condscation, and in :
sist upon parceling the territory Of the
South out to its white loyalists and its
freedmen. The long Imprisonment Of
Jeff. Davis, and the refusal Of the Chief
justice to give what every citizen has an
unquesiionable right to demand-a fail
andimpartial trial-has exerted most IN
wholesome moral influence. And the
recriminations and denunciations aot
leading members of the party, in both
Houses Of Congress, have not been with
out pernicious effect. Add to this tht
uDpopularity Of heavy tax" Sc.
That is telling only part of the truth

The Dissolution oflhc Republican
Party.

We again call attention to the follow
ing extract from the letter of. "Wendell
Phillips to the aNew York Anti-slavery
Standard" which letter we published
yesterday:
1.-THE seeds of dissolution have been sown
in the Republican party. Perhaps I
should say that the party always contain
ed the elements Of its own destruction,
and that it only required the provocative
circumstances to develop them. At any
rate the Development is visible to the
common eye, as it has long been seen by
those whose habits Of close observation
have given to their mental vision clear
insight
Whatever we may think Of Wendell
Philips he has always in the past proved
a good political prophet. Whea the Re-
publican party was organized, he being
for dissolution of the Union, hailed it
with joy. He declared that, as a pure
sectional party, it was for dissolution
purposes-the frstacrack in the iceberg"
So it proved. Having predicted what
it would eventually effect, he now sees,
and does not hesitate to declare, that it
is in process of dsstruction-that "the
seeds of destruction have been sown, and
that circumstances are rapidly develop
ing them" Let Democrats and conser-
vatiye men everywhere take heart and
courage. The monstrous organization
that has SO tyrannized over the country
is falling to pieces, and its baneful star
will go down the political horizon as
rapidly as it rose. Again we repeat,
the emigration into the Democratic party
has commenced, and is proceeding at a
most gratifying rate.

The COshOctOn Treasury Plot
A Remarkable Pretended Rob-
berry Cleared up--Statement of
the NIasqurading Treasurer.

From the Coshocton Democrat, of the 9th
Samuel Ketchum, the defaulting Trea-
surer, has made a full statement of his
defalcatiou and pretended robbery. In
1857, he was deficient in funds for about
So, 900, for which he could not then, and
can not now account. He wentto Brown
who was banker, for loan; Brown
loaned him three thousand dollars. From
that time his troubles commenced. Brown
harrassed him for loans of public money
to carry on his banking business, and
helped the Treasurer to carry over every
deficit on sttlement, until January, 1859.
On the 22d of that month, a Commission
er was to examine the Treasury, and he
needed money TO cover up the defalca,
tion. But, in the meantime, Brown had
proposed sham robbery, as means of
covering up the default On the night
of the 21st, he insisted on carrying out
the project-came into the Treasurer's
Office about half past 9 o'clock at night
told the Treasurer be could not let
him have any more money. That he
must carry out the plan of the robbery,
or be exposed, and go to the Penitentia-
ry, anyhow! In short he consented, on
the condition that Brown should give up
all notes and mortgages he held against
him.
This Brown promised to do, but said
he had not brought them with him; but
after all was over he would give up all
his rotes &c., and pay him over por-
tion Of the money to be taken from the
Treasury. The Treasurer unlocked the
safe; Brown tied the Treasurer, put a
gag in his mouth, took outthe Treasurer's
private wallet, rifed it, and carried away
every dollar; being in amount from $15,-
600 TO S18, 600. From that day to this,
Brown has not only not paid back any Of
the money, but he has harrassed the
Treasurer for more!
Ketchum says he gave the $4,000
note without consideration, as "hush
money!" and never knew of or author
lied any credits upon it,and that Colonel
Fergusons name was not on it when he
gave it to Brown.
Samuel Ketchum left the Treasurers
Office ruined and .penniless man. He
had no money to carry on business, and
was forced to borrow; and is now not
worth dime, after his debts are paid
But Brown has 100000 worth of real
estate, and when arrested in Canada, had
S5S, 1000, in money, with him. Both the
guilty parties are indicted, and under
bail.
