These figures are given by the Cincin-
natl Enquirer A comparison of the Dem
ocratic vote in the Northern States at the
last State elections and the anti Republis
can vote of Missouri, Maryland, Dela~
ware, Tennessee, Kentucky and the ten
Southern States given at the Presidential
election in 1860, with the full Republican
vote North and South, white and black,
admitting every black adult according
to the census of 1862 viii show the
anti Republican or Radical party in a
minority of several hundred thousand on
the popular vote. If there could be fair
and just system of representation, the
Conservative party would control the
popular branch of Congress. If any one
doubts this statement let him make the
calculation.
In the light of this fact, politicians
had better be careful how they mistake
the Fictitious majority which now rules
in Congress, and threatens to depose the
President, for what they call ''the will of
the people" The truth is, that the pres
ent administration of the government
is not the popular government contem-
plated by the constitution; aud if its
misrule is carried much further, the peo-
pie may be tempted to treat certain mar
plots in a summary manner; that there
IS ~ will of the people that must be
obeved. The Radicals in this country
are very largely in the minority. They are
only tolerated in their great abuses Of
power, because the people are tired of
strife and constantly look for its cessa-
ton by some means short of violence.
There is such a thing, however, as trifing
too long with the popular patience.
When that point is reached, Radicalism
and its leaders, great and small, will be
swallowed in the chasm Of a popular
earthquake.

THE Nashville Radicals are beginning to
see the beauties of negro suffrage in a new
light, and are somewhat disquieted there
at. In fact they are trying to get up a
third party nomination against Major
Alden, the negro league candidate, with
the aid of the Press and Times, after the
style of the Harris movement in this city.
There is but little question of how the
matter will result. Major Alden is sure to
be elected, and the old property holding
Radicals of the city will have an opportu-
nifty Of thinking whether this thing of negro
suffrage and white Acknowledgement really
pays.-ChattanOoga Union, august 30h.

with our Chattanooga contemporary. 1t

and insinuates that if he is, the people
will be taxed to pay $4,000 to the
metropolitan police for years service,
although they have never been on duty

commence charging intended fraud and
