B@~A Radical paper states, on good
authority, that the party now has under
the direction of the Congressional Com
mittee about one hundred and fifty stump
speakers in the Southern States, can
wasting in the interests of Radicalism.
No doubt of it. Men who are so un-
scrupulous as to vote supplies from the
Treasury, to defray the expenses of their
own electioneering campaigns, as the
Thirty ninth Congress did, can send out
as many stumpers as they choose, so
long as the people pay the requisite
taxes.-St Louis Republican.
If the above is true, we think they are
not " stumping" it, but rather sneaking
it in the hills and hollows. The Con-
ssrvative candidates are every where invi-
ting Radicals to meet them in discussion
but without success. They keep out of
sight. The truth is they have not the
arguments necessary for open and manly
discussion. Hence, they can do nothing
but prowl round in the byways and the
dark addressing the prejudices of the
black population and poisoning their
minds with innumerable falsehoods.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-It IS the in
tention Of Secretary Seward not to send
minister to Mexico as a retaliatory
measure for the rejection Of his message
concerning the life of Macmillan for
the purpose, in the event Of foreign war
against Mexico, of showing the chiefs Of
that boastful Republic the full extent Of
their dependence ON the United States.
Greeley's nomination as Minister to
Austria will be continued until the next

Col. Fowler, who has charge Of the
collection Of internal revenue, dropped
from his pocket a package OF money,
estimated at from $1,000 TO $4,000. He
went to the place where he thought he
had lost it aud there found the envelope
in which il was inclosed, but the money
was gone. He Immediately offered n
reward of five hundred dollars for its re-
covery, but received no tidings Of the
missing package Recent developments
have led to the belief that the money was
found by an old negro, who kept It. On
Sunday night last a young negro restole
the money, and the old one made an affi-
davit before Squire Jones and had him
arrested. Various circumstances led
to the belief that this was the
missing money Of Col Fowler. The
military interfefed, the negroes were ar
rested, and upon being put to tests that
are not usually resorted to in such pro-
ceedings, the elder negro confessed that
he had found the money and had kept il,
and the younger admitted that he had
stolen il from him. The younger negro,
however, could not be induced to give it
up, but under the application of caustic
remedies, not recognized by the Freed
mems Bureau, alleged that he had given
it, first to one white man, then another,
all of them men of responsibility, and
which statements proved to be false,

B@- Mr.. Gladstone delivered good
speech the other day at the annual din
ner of the Newspaper Press Fund in
London, and, considering how sensitive
be VIGOROUSLY is to criticism, he made
some excellent remarks upon the impor.
lance of journalistic criticism which
we're hardly expected from him. The
editorial profession is every year absorb
ing a greater and greater proportion of
the educated men of this country, as
we'll as Great Britain, and we think the
time has come when we too should have
a press fund like that which has done so
much good abroad. There is no other pro-
fession which offers so few great money
prizes to its followers as that of journal
ism, and none, perhaps, which so rapidly
wears out the health. A fund for the
relief of the sick or superannuated ought
to be kept up by the contributions OF the
press all over the country. Let an at
tempt to effect some such organization
be made by responsible persons and we
are confident that it will be received with
nearly unanimous favor.
We copy the above from the New York
Tribune only to express our hearty con-
currence. Other classes organize for
mutual benefit, and we see no reason
why this should not as we'll. 1t is part
of the business of editors to make great
men, and they are skillful enough to do
it often out of very small materials Why
not also do something to take care of
themselves, and withal become better
acquainted and consequently more
friendly and harmonious.

.Beny Speaker Colfax, as if the speech
was matter of some unusual impor-
lance, is reported by telegraph as talking
some great and grave things to a sere-
nading party at Washington, on the night
Of the goth. He said the President, in
his veto message, " denounced this mill
tary despotism, as he calls it, and
declares that Congress has subjected the
South to tyranny most intolerable
that he had heard these charges Of
military despotism before that every
act tending to strengthen the Govern
ment, such as suspension of habeas cor
pus, trial by court martial, etc, was
denounced as a military despotism, but
the people rendered this verdict and it
could not be reversed Instead Of the
tyranny vote Of Congressional policy, il
is construction to all aud, God helping,
we all shall stand by it till it is crowned
with triumph"
He adds, as to the Reconstruction bill
last vetoed: at was vetoed again, and
they repassed it by q vote Of four to one
and it is now gone on the statute book as
one OF the laws which the President, by
his constitutional oath, must take care to
have faithfully executed"
Now this conclusion we must emphAti
cally deny. Ordinarily, we admit, that
when the President returns a bill with
his objections 10 the two Houses the
passage Of the bill BY a tWOthirds ma
joriiy makes it Law, which the Presi-
dent thereby becomes bound TO execute.

ATa meeting of the Directors Of the Frank

July 18th, 1867, the following resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAs, A portion of the creditors of the
Franklin Insurance and Banking Company
have united for the purpose OF reorganizing
said company and opening said bank upon the
following basis, to-wit Each creditor sub
scribss two-thirds of his amount in stock to the
company, and a certificate Of deposit is to be
issued for the other third, to be taken up when
the Directors are enabled so TO do and, where
as, the benefciaries under the Trust Deed ex-
said bank have agreed to quit claim their lions
under said deed, and many of the attaching
creditors have subscribed as aforesaid and filed
orders to dismiss their attachments, and,
whereas, two or three attaching creditors have
as vet failed TO come forward and cooperate
in the effort to reorganize, which, IL persisted
In by them, will defeat the reorganization and
ultimately throw the whole matter into bank
ruptcy and thereby reduce the available assets,
by reason Of expenses, etc., to such an extent
that the interest of the creditors will not be

Be it therefore Resolved by the Board OF
Directors elected by said Creditors, That no
tice be given to all creditors, who have not
already done so, to come forward, on or before
the LIST day of August next, and enter their
names upon the stock book of the company.
Be 1t further Resolved, That in case any

The Thad. Stevens policy of confsca-
ton is the most wicked and cruel ever
conceived by human malignity, and it is
as unstatesmanlike and impolitic as it
is malignant. There is not good sen
sible reason which can be given for it
with reference to any interest what
soever. The Southern people would be
despoiled, the Northern deprived of
business and market, and the negro
population would become worthless in
vagahondism. Who can be benefited by
reproducing San Domingo in the South
ern States1 Would not the North lose
more in one year by the non. production
of the Southern States, than the whole
body of Southern lands if confscated
and sold would bring2 Has it not lost
immensely by cutting down Southern
production already2 We used to make
them four million bales Of cotton, besides
an immense quantity of rice, sugar and
tobacco. We now make one, and you
have only to confscate the lands to re-
duce this production down to half a
million or even less. What sensible
reason can be given for such madness ?
Is it that you punish rebels Then to
punish rebels you punish whole peo-
pie indiscriminately, white and black,
one-half Of whom, including all colors,
are now and always were loyal to the
Union which was the principal reason
why secession was failure. To punish
rebels, you take away the tools with
which they have made and would
continue to make your own
money. To punish rebels you impover-
ish yourselves. And how is the negro
profted2 Does any sane man believe
that if he owned and controlled all the
lands of the South he would make any
thing to sell worth mentioning, and would
not lay lazily in the sun and die in idle
ness, vice, poverty and degradation II
this is not known to the Northern malig-
nants they are too ignorant to legislate

are weak enough TO destroy all interests

their 6endish hate. Their manufactures

will lie idle, their grain will rot on their
hands their merchants will find business
Improbable; and crash, failures and
destruction will become inevitable and
universal, aud not less truly so in
the Northern than in the Southern States.
And now suppose all this done-the
land all taken away from those who know
so well how to make it profitable to them
selves and the nation, and given TO such
lazy yagabonds, black and white, as
would be mean enough to take it-how

There is no doubt the Radical extremists
are capable Of such stupid enormities and

thing has gone to the devil, aud we hope
he will show more sagaciiy in taking the
