The principal significance Of the late Radical

count whatever--is the proof that is given,
that tho minds Of portion Of the colored peo-
pie, have been thoroughly moulded by the
worst specimens OF the Radicals, and that even
those Of the white people who are now afia-
ting with them, and attempting to use them
for political purposes, protesting to be their
devoted friends aud allies, have great difficulty
in restraining them from violent excuses of
sentiment if not of action. And more than
this; as these people are to have power, those
who are now organizing them and uniting with
them, and banding them together against the

WASHINGTON, May $3.50 much has
been said about the spoliation of the
Booth diary since the charge was made
by Gen. Butler in Congress, that now
the people generally, and, almost with
out an exception, the leading journals
demand that the book be published, no
matter whether its contents be impor-
tant or unimportant. Upon represen-
tation to Mr.. Johnson of all the cir
cumstances and of the general demand
that the diary be printed, in order that
the people may for themselves judge
OF the facts and merits of the contro-
versy about this book, the President
gave his consent that a copy be pub
lished. The President himself never
having seen the diary, had some days
ago ordered certified copy to be made,
which was accordingly few days ago
furnished9 l am permitted to send you
4 copy of this record as certified by the

About fifteen minutes after Browns
arrival at home, Hamill came up, row.
ing slowly, and was vociferously cheer
ed. He shouted to his friends that he
claimed the race, as Brown had fouled
him. and much new enthusiasm was
created In his behalf at the announce
ment. He Iowed to the boat house and
was escorted by thousands of persons
on the bank and hundreds of skifs and
boats in the river.
TIE DECISION.
The judges were unable to decide.
The friends OF. Hamill clamored for an
award in his favor, but they concluded
wisely to thoroughly investigate the
charge OF foul before masking any deci-
sion. Last night they met and exam
ined several witnesses, but could arrive
at no definite conclusion, and post
poned their decision until this morning
at ten o'clock. We hope, in the name
of fair hospitality, that Brown will re-
cefve justice at their hands. He Is a
stranger here, and has had the courage
and manliness to test his metal with the
champion of America on his own
waters, and amongst his heartieSt
friends, and unless 1t be shown that he
was clearly guilty of 'jockeying," let
him have the credit of his victory.
We were among those who desired n
triumph for Hamill. he is Pitts
burgher and good oarsman, but has
his uperiors-among them we must
now class Brown, the Portland strip
ling. Our local glory was clouded on
the Tyne in England; eclipsed on the
yesterday, and Jimmy"
must look well to his laurels in the fu-
ture. He may retrieve himself, but
must pull up to be a better man than
the one with with whom he stripped
yesterday. JH2tH $40 GEl-t
Those having money staked on the
race must assent to the decision of the
judges whatever 1t may be. Quite a
number of bets have been paid by
l1anill's friends, they concedine the
victory to Brown. We understand an
other race between Brown and Hamill
is not improbable, Hamill to be the
party. ara ETEy
We learned last evening that Brown
departed on the night train for the
East, and also that his departure was
through fear of personal viO-
lence, for which, however, we cannot
believe there was good ground.

lively with his competitor, he did not

honors seemed little interested In the
general enthusiasm they had created,
and leaning forward in their seat with
their oars almost kissing the water,
ready with the signal to start, to pull
long strong pull for the advantage. The
moment the pistol shot was heard, four
oars struck the water simultaneously,
