The Radical Defeat.

The Savannah Republican Congressional
Reconstruction advocate, draws the following
conclusions from the Radical defeat in Cali
forna:
The defeat is ominous in another sense,
and We presume the wise men Of the Repub-
lican party, such statesmen as Fessenden and
Trumbull, will perceive the trushfulness of
what we are about to utter. In nearly every
Southern State there are to- be found to-day
regiments of just such men as Gorham, and
corps of men without either brains or charac
ter, who are vociterously seeking to repre-
sent tue Southern people. These men are
very loud in their professions of love for the
colored race, have an unlimited amJunt OF
friendship for the Government and fairly
adore Thad. Stevens proscriptive wing of
the Republican party. Place these adventu
rcrs once in power and we have the spectacle
in every Southern State Of an ignorant usur-
per seated on throne, welding sceptre
placed in his hands By the votes Of rabble,
and surrounded by a council of petty tyran.s,
whose chief delight would be in trampling
under foot tie sacred rights of good and true
men. 1t is not in the nature of things that
such plar of political degradation should be
carried out any more successfully in the
Southern States than in California or any
Northern State. TIE day is not far distant
when it will be made manifest to the Repub.
licau party that, with all the gorgeous trap
pings and paraphernalia of party power, it is
impossible to force the well meaning South
ern people, who sreas well disposed toward
the Government as could reasonably be ex
peced Gall things consdered), to calmly sub
nit to much less to sanction the elevation to
positions and power Of a corrupt class of me'
who already boast that If ever Invested with
au.hority they will rule their political oppo
nenis with On iron rod. The recent Amnesty
proclamation which has emancipated so mary
good and honorable men from an unjus. re-
straint, will doubtless have s4lutary effect
in chccki:g The designs Of these men.
Ii he Republican party b any desire t
succeed Ii Tie South, they must send US re-
spectacle, faithful mrn rs leaders, or be Prp
pared. whenever tic elections are held, 10 SCI
the iablcaux of California repeated. Neitb' r.
Northern or Southern mrn of honor, we 81 :
ccrely trust, will ever willingly become th'
instruments Of oppression or corruption, arc
We carnot have one without the other.

is, too, that the beard, like tic hair Of the

the perspiration, and then, by evaporation,

Coming South.

letter from Des Moines, Iowa, says: /" A
great many people in this region have de-
sire to go South to plant cotton. Governor
Stone, Of Iowa, has returned from Alabama,
and says there never was greater opening
for capitalists than is now presented at the
South, and advises his friends to invest there.'
Thus we begin to sec the first ripples OF the
tide which is to flow over and to FLU our
vacant aud half cultivated lands, to redeem
our waste places, and to give new growth to
our cities. and add new vigor to all our indus
trial enterprises. Place the State back in
the Unicn, give her discreet and honest law
makers, enforce with rigor and impartiallty
the laws when made, cease political agitation,
or make tsubservent to some practical good,
and we should soon have such food OF the
best population pouring in upon US as would
redeem the South from the lavages of war,
and place her On the highway to greatness and
wealth.-Nstional Republican.

poets.
The Round Table draws It terrible picture
of the condition Of the Sout!! at the prcsari
time. and poirts to a Jet more te:ribl' condi
tion as sure to follow the elevation Of the ne
gro to cIice. At tie beginning Of tie ar;icl'
il. thus speaks u the present state Of aiiii's
at the South:
From whatever point Of view moral.
financial or poli';cal--we may regard !he
Southern States, their situation is uaspeaEa-
bly, elcpiorablc. The effect Of sukjuca'ion is
always }nplorabe. Men lase heart, and hope
and scfrcIiance. Energies are paral. zc'i.
Self respect is lowered. From the inspiration
.oi battling f,r cause inca sink to mere vul-
gar self seeking ard greed; and oftenest it
hapocns that, the nobIer Objects Of life being
abandoned, they plunge recklessiy into debase
pleasures and degrading sensuai;ics. I@
Victis! Ii the vic,ors be not, what the vic
tors seldom are, magnanimous and generally
mindful of their subject thralls, "lhe losl
cause" soon becomes the least of the regrets
of the more wise among the conquered a
lost people is an infinitely worthier subject OF
sorrow.
"Undcr their defeat, it cannot be denied
that the Southern people have behaved with
great nob!euess. Before the close Of the war.
rnen at the North IS well as at :he South be
lievcd that the surrender of the Southern
armies would be followed By guerilla war
fare OF years, ye! from the day of Jonnson's
surrender not one outrage has occurred such
as had with reason been anticipated. The
cause of this is twolold. The Southern peo-
pie were always martial people; and how
ever we may sneer at their chiyalry-whlch
doubtless WAS an element both of weakness
and of strcngth-we must at least concede
that they possessed the virtues as we'll as thr
defects of the martial nature"
1t concludes as follows:
With pennilcSs negro Legislation to tax,
and defenceless white men to be taxed, the
issue cannot lorg be doubtful. In every
county laxes will he laid in the same way BY
negroes upon white men. In The towns and
cities negro councilmcn will vote themselves
large salaries, create unnecessary offices for
purposes OF pund,r, and for like ends under
take enormous jobs Of fauciful public i'm
provemcnt. Justice administered by negro
magistrates will be farce redress of wrongs
will be impossible Liberty of outrage will
be amply secured. The liberty of death will
be the only liberty secured to mon whose
crime is that they were born white"

TIE CooLlE TRADE and its abuses are ex:
citing attention in China. The coolie trade
at Macao is declared by the British authori'
ties at Hong Kong to be an organized slave
trade. The emigration is not voluntary. The
unhappy coolies are kidnapped aud forced
irto slavery by traders. The only way to
cope with tine evil, it is thought, will be to
prohibit coolie emigration altogether at Hong
Kong and tue Chinese Government will be
mcmorialized to that effect. So long as the
emigration from Hong Kong continues, the
Macao Government it is said, will pretend
that their trade is conducted under the samo
regulations.

The Bore of the sanctum.
BY JOHN G. SAKE


Again hear the crcakiug step!
Hos rapping at the door!
Too well know the boding sound
That ushers in a bore.
I do not trcmblu when / meet
Tho stoutest of my foes;
But Heaven defond me from the friend
Who comes but never goes.
He drops into my easy-chair,
And asks about the news:
He peeps into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells where he likes the line
And where he's forced to grieve;
lie takes tho strangest liberties
But never takes his leave.
He reads my daily paper through
Before have seen word;
He scans tho lyric (that wrote,)
And thinks it quite absurd;
lie calmly smokes my last cigar,
And cody asks for more;
He opens everything he secs
Except tho entry door.
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me of the pains
he suffers from score of ills,
Of which he ne'er complains; IL
And how he struggled once with earth
To keep the fend at bay;
On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away!
He tells ne Of the carpiug words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote.
he thinks the writer did me wrong,
He'd like to run MIN through! q
lie says THOUSAND pleasant things
But never says "adieu"
Whene'er to comes-that dreadful man
Disguise it as I may
know, that like an Autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day. .
In vain speak of urgent tasks,
In vain scowl and pout;
A frown is no e1tinguisher-
1t does not put him OUT
mean to take the lnocker off;
Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to John that am gorc
To stay a month or more.
I do not tremblo when meet
Tho stoutest Of my foes;
But heaven defend ,ne from from the friend
Who never, never goes!

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS TR1AI.-A Rich.

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS TRIAL.-A Rich.
mond correspondent of the Tribune writes:
"Some are Of the belief there will be nc.
trial, and that Davis will either be included
in the forthcoming amnesty, or be will be par
doned specially by the President Others as
sert that it never was intended that Davis
should be tried when he was released on ball.
and that he will remain out Of reach where
he is, in Canada, or go to Europe. But these
are mere cowectures, based On nothing more
than the peculiar opinions and prejudices Of
the parties. From an authentic source.l have
reason to state that Davis will be tried at the
| November term of the United States Circuit
Court here, aad that he will be forthcoming
at that time.
"The counsel for the defence will declare
themselves ready for trial. The Court will
signify its ASSET in the same manner. The
Government will ask for time under the pre-
tence of being unprepared-a shift to get out
of the trial. The Court will then say it will
be in session for considerable period, which
will afford the Government ample time to
prepare, and if its representatives fail to pros
ecute the prisoner before the term of the
Court expire, it will in that case probably
declare the prisoner discharged, in the absence
Of the prosecution. Such will most probably
be the programme Of the long expected De.
Wis trial, and such the upshot of it in case OF
the failure of Government to substantiate its
charges. The country will. then be rid OF a
serious incumbrance."
Judge Underwood doubtless inspires this,
aud it is the bsst disposition, for all hands We
.uess, that can be made Of Davis-New York

to man who was buying horses for the

I Mr. Triplet is an excellent hand with
horses, and it is supposed that the animal
vas badly treated. and having evaded the
vigilance Of his masters has returned to the

honor were concerned, he thought he ought

that as the General Of tue army he had all
the work he could do, and time enough to

Shapes, ignorant of inconsistencies
Sorrow in absence difidence when near:
Or worshiping itself in what it sees,
Makesof mere trides wherewithal to bless,
Or out of nothings piles up preciousness,
Or swells them into hopeless agonies
Or sullen nterludes of dim distress
Loves sun is a great sphere of heat, not light,
That draws the dreaming soul through its hot night
And now Loves power is of the lonely skies,
Where one star only, melancholy bright
Shines on the heart that, hopeless of the day,
Takes with the dead its meditative way.
All beauteous tyrant of the unconscious hour,
How oft, when reasons hand shut out thy ray,
While waking in the sun, in dreams once more
Her image filled its place of light indoor
His heart, and thence with sweet resumed power
Vailed me walking in its golden shower!
But Love once passed into the poets brain,
In music lives, in music comes again;
The inspiration takes form, and stands
Beside the mind relieved, in joy or pain.
All gift divine for, if to love is bliss
The higher that the being loved in this
DISTINGUISHED feeling sure commands
The highest height of all the soul, wis.
