paragraph was true as far as it went, but it

At the time we wrote the local, comment

it did not have the courtesy to republish, } we
we're not aware "that the man who captured
the thief, and secured the horse" said chat
it was the advertisement in the Spectator
which led to the capture, and We are not
convinced Of the fact yet. But Of one thing
we are certain that if the editor Of the Spec
tator means to impute to us suppression Of
facts, in our possession, to the detriment Of
his paper, or others, he states what is false
and stoops to what honorable gentlemen, the
press, must consider disingenuous attempt
to make capital for his paper.

Tue OUTSIDE SOUTHERN STATES TO BE
HURRIED UP.-From all the signs of The
times in the North the Radicals will need the
support of the ten outside Southern States in
the Presidential election, aud it is altogether
probable, therefore, that under the present
system of reconstruction they will be hurried
through the mill and reinstated in Congress
in season to vote for President next Novem-
Der. The late Southern elections make this
the safe policy, it is thought; for the radicals,

lays must be dangerously Y. Herald.

many State elections this year. 1t admits
that Il few Republicans covertly aided the
Democrats us Il means Of facilitating the nom
ination Of General Grant by their party, but
says the majority Of them acted iron mere
straig httorward motives. They voted the
Democratic ticket because OF their repus-
nance to the extreme measures of The Radical
party; but they will no more follow the Dem
oeratic party to extremes than the Radicals.
By these eiections the Republican policy of
reconstruction IS demonstrated failure, aud
no durable settlement is attainable on any
other basis than u just arrangement substan.
TALLY agreed upon by the North which both
races IN The South will accept and abide by.
1t has an article on the Federal debt, ia
which it says the Republicans will hardly
dare attempt more imitation after the rebuke
they have received, and thinks it may con-
graduate its readers ON the prospect of an
early return OF prosperity to the various in
dastrial pursuits OF our people 1t notes the
universal defeat OF the negro suffrage issue,
aud declares it cannot be possible that the
people. who have SO significantly repudlated
negro suffrage at home, where the colored
class form such a small number III the popu-
latlon, VIII be willing to approve OF It's en-
iorcemeut III the South, where the colored
population is SO large as to control the cleo

ito spurn from his doors those who obtrude
themselves upon his Inequalities. and without
his express authority are quoted by the ever
infamous Chronicle as sponsors for General
Grant, who are now in Washington and in
close and daily Intercourse with him. 1t
says Mr.. Washburne General Logan and Co
luuel Fornev are "a pretty trio to assume before
the country that they represent General Grant,
Or speak his sentiments. Ii the people shall
desire his services they will demand to know
his views on leading aud exigent public ques-
tioLs, III his own words, aud over his own sig
nature. 1t thinks the removal instead Of
suspension Of Stanton, and the refusal OF the
President to assign his reasons there for aud
to restore him, is the only way to afford
judicial solution by the Supreme Court It
speaks Of the difficulties arising fron the as
sembling of Congress before the usual time,
