The Radicals charge the President
with meditating coup detdt between
this and the Goth of November, with
view of preventing the meeting of
Congress. Now, although in many
respects it might be very desirable TO
prevent tho meeting Of such o mis-
chievous Congress as the present, yet
the President prefers that it should
kill itself, as it is likely to do, by its
own quarrels in regard to the Presi-
dental nomination. There are in that
Congress Wade men, Chase men, Fes-
sender men, and Grant men-iour fac
tions, and four candidates. Perhaps,
also, there are few Sheridan men.
But with four prominent candidates,
each with an army of outside seconds
and bottle-holders, the fight will lack
nothing of intensity and bitterness.
In the mean time, let the Conserva-
tives look on ooolly and dispassion-
ately With general amnesty in the
South, and a good, sound believer in
the Constitution at the head of the
ticket, and the usual effort at the polls,
there cannot be much doubt Of their
success in November, 1868. Reports
from every section of the Union rep.
resent the people as heartily sick OF
the present preposterous state of af
fairs. They demand a reduction OF
taxes, return to specie payments, Q
reform in the expenses of the United
States Government-and ioiL have
them, or will know the reason why
1t is absurd, it is monstrous, that the
Government expenditure now should
now be FIVE or six times greater than
it was in 1860, There is no reason fol
il, there can be no reason for it, ex
oept the Radical necessity for support
ing negroes and other useless persons
in idluness, to sustain their waning
power at the coming elections.

The late election in tho Golden
State has resulted most gloriously for
the Democracy and the Union. The
'Cops" have elected their Governor,
two of the three members of Congress,
and a majority Of the Legislature
thereby securing the election of u.
S. Senator. What makes this victory
the more significant, is the fact that
for the past three years the Disunion-
lists had carried the State by maj jor
jority of about 10000, almost total
summersault.
The Radical defeat is causing some
rich developments. Their party has
split in two, and if the half is true that
they charge upon each other, the
leaders of both factions should be
compelled to spend the remainder OF
their days in the penitentiary. They
have operated on the Pacific end Of
the line just as they have done here
The one half of the party has been for
seven years employed in manufacture
ing bonds and stamps and assessing
taxes, while the other half has beer
engaged in gathering and collecting
I
them; and in making out their balance
sheet, large deficit developes itsel
to the public. Whereupon each il
turn charges the other with robbinl
and plundering the Government anC
people. Hence the people have con
cluded to take matters in their owl
hands, and have delivered the affair
of State over again into the hands o
the "Union-Savers." They have pait
dearly for thoir Radical whistle.

RUMP AUTHoRITY.-The conduct of
the Rump Congress, in expelling Dem
ocrats from that body in order to
make a sure two-third vote against
the President, is already cited and
discussed in the British Parliament.
Mr., Lowe, in a recent discussion in
the English House of Commons, said /:
My honorable friend the member for Reading,
said that majority in America had never been
known TO abuse its power. | will take one in
stance, which is just as good a thousand. Ger
tain things necessary for the Republican par
ty, which could not be carried without a majority
Of two-thirds Of Congress. Everybody knows that
members who were innocent men were expelled
from Congress IN order TO obtain the necessary
Republican majority.
1t will be observed by the tenor Of
this speech that the conduct of the
majority in the American Rump is
even alarming English aristocrats,
who are warning their people against
the examples set on this side of the
ditch.

A SPECIMEN BRcK-The Radicals
are greatly in love with Ben Wade,
one of the Ohio Senators, and intend
to impeaeh and remove President
Johnson for the purpose of getting
Ben in his place. The 'grand moral
idea" candidate made a speech at
Portsmouth, in that State, last week,
in which he spoke thus;
Compare negro-voting Tennessee with rebel
cursed Kentucky. In the latter they have elected
full ticket Of traitors 10 Congress- and they come
up and demand seats there, but not one devil Of
them will ever get seat there. (Chaers, and re-
poated cries of "Good.") You may call it despot-
ism, but what sort Of despotsm is it TO exclude
from the Government men who openly tried to
destroy in II i quite enough II We spare their
deyilish ncoks toheers) and my right hand shall

The people in the Southern States,
under the loyal programme, are com
PEELED to take an oath to support the
Constitution Of the United States, and
the reconstruction acts Of the Rump
Congress, before they are considered
reconstructed by their oppressors.
This is dose enough to physic canni-
bal. The man who takes an oath to
support Thad. Stevens reconstruction
acts, is sure to violate the Constitu-
tion; because they are as diametri-
cally opposed to each other, as holi-
ness and sin Whosoever swears to
support the Constitution, Gf he lives
up to his oath, is compelled to oppose
Thad. Stevens & Co. The request Of
these men is peculiarly Puritan
"you'll be damnedif you do, and you'll
bedamned ifyou don't" These Rad
icalnuts are hard to crack; they cannot
crack them themselves, except upon
the witch-drowning, Quaker-hang
ing Roger Misunderstanding princi'
pie. As these crimes were rendered
godly once, through Puritan ingcnui
ty, that of perjury may be added tC
the same decalogue. The Holt-Con
! over-Ashley case squints that way
and passes as current to day as Quaker
hanging did two hundred years ago
Loyaltyis is adapted to as many changes
and localities as the moon, and III
author, Stevens, possesses more hatt
and envy for his neighbor and free
; institutions, than the father of lie
himself.

We direct special attention to the

the Administration organ, in alluding

Radical Inconsistency.

The radicals are alarmed that any
one should propose to pay the interest
upon renewed or existing Federal
bonds in paper. Republicans must
not forget, that the Republican Legis-
lature of New York directed the State
Comptroller TO pay tho interest on
the bonded debt OF that State in green.
backs, although the bonds called for
gold. The'Pennsylvania Legislature,
also, on the recommendation of Gov.
Curtin, repealed the law requiring the
bonds of that State TO be paid in gold
Every Republican member voted TO
pay in greenbaoSs. And the reason
given by the Legislature of both States
was, that legal tender notes was .he
only money known 10 the country
with which debts could be discharged.
Gentlemen, please TO be little more
consistent. State faith to pay ought
TO be as sacred as the Federal Gov
ernmont. Before 1861, millions were
borrowed upon pledge of payment
back in specie. Individuals and States
trampled thoir obligations under feet
aud the Courts--to their everlasting
disgrace, e,--sustained the reputation.

The Springfield Republican has n
correspondent who comes at length
TO the defence of Rev. S. M. Merrill,
the drowned clergyman, pleads his
eighteen years of "faithful service"-
during a portion of which he was in
triguing with the young female lambs
of his flock his pressure of debt and
poverty-consequent upon inability
to live on two thousand dollars n year I;
his freedom from anything save rim
discretion which consisted in hold
ing Illicit correspondence and travel
ing inoognito with women; besides,
as he coniesses, keeping bad company.
The correspondent protests that the
newspapers should not "crush" the
poor unfortunate. We have no dis
position TO do So But it seems TO us
that when a man in Merrill's position
perpetrates the crimes of which he
has been guilty, justice, tho interests
of society, and regard for religion
demand that he should be made an
example. There are cases, and this
is one, in which marked sympathy
for the individual is an offence against
communiiy.-Albdny Journal.
