JOB WORK 0r ALL KINDS
Gen. Sickles and his Clerk.

We recall the historical fact. On the
18th OF November, 1860, the District Court
of the United States for South Carolina
was in session. The presiding Judge,
sworn to fealty the Federal Constitution,
and to administer justice in q court crea-
ted by Federal enactment, and sustained
by the Federal Treasury, rose in his place,
and in the presence of a crowded audi
cnce, announced that the election of a
sectional President by a sectional majori-
ty was q sufficient cause for the fecmen
Of South Carolina to assert the inalienable
rights of selfgovernmcnt, and for the
State to resume her unquestionable soy.
ercignty, and snap the bands which bound
her to hated Union. lie, therefore di-
vested himself of his robes of office, threw
aside the gown in which he was arrayed,
and declared the Federal Court for that
district stood adjourned foreverl That
speech infamcd an excited populace. 1t
reused frcnzied people to madness, and
led to violent public meeting that night,
at which transparency was exhibited
which represented Federal Judge in the
act of iringa gnn which was to shiver the
Federal Union into fragments. This
same judge made one of the most violent
speeches delivered at the meeting, and
took the lead in the mad crowd that, hur-
rying to the State Capitol, threatened and
coaXcd the Legislature into authorizing
the election of delegates or the 9th of De-
cember to convention which was to meet
on the 18th, and on the 18th he was made
the Secretary of State of the sovereign
State of South Carolina so that the
foremost among the secessionists of South
Carolina was Judge A. G. Magrath
To-day, as we learn from an article in
the New York Weekly, that ex-Judge is
the chief clerk of Major General Siclzles,
autocrat of the Carolinas. To-day he has
the ear of that Commanding General, and
is found to be one of the readiest and
most fulsome Of his defenders. 1t is
spectacle sufficient to rouse the indigna-
tion of every honest Union man through
out the country to find that this man
who thus led in the mad movement
against the Government of the United
States is not only more potent than he
ever was when a Federal judge but is
the right-hand man of one who, in the
name of the United States, enacts codes,
sets aside Legislatures, and tramples upon
the authority of the Federal courts. Is
it from Judge Magrath that Major General
Sickles has learned to despisc the authori-
ty of a Federal Judge -National lntelli-
gencer.

REVOLUTIONARY ScuENEs-The Wash
Ington correspondent of tho Boston Post

REVOLUTIONARY ScuEMEs.-The Wash
ington correspondent of tho Boston Post
writes to that paper:
Some startling revelations arc leaking
out here touching the revolutionary
schemes of the radical leaders. 1t has
been discovered that the plan for radical
governments and negro supremacy in the
Southern States was concoctcd and ma
turcd at the Convention of Southern 10y
alists,' on the 18th of September last, in
Philadelphia, where were present the
radical Governors of the several Northern
States. 1t was then and there determined
to organize a revolutionary army, which
should hold the South under the control
of the radicals, regardless Of what might
be the popular vote 1t was also deter
mined that e. NJ. Pcasc should, by some
means, be placed ut the head of the State
organization in Texas and, in obedience
to this plot of the rovoutionists General
Sheridan dcposed Governor Throcllmor-
ton, and installed Pcasc in the executive
chair. In further continuation of the
same plot, General E. ]. Davis was given
a rowing commission by General Sheridan,
ostcnsibly for the purpose of superintend-
ing the registration, butreally to organize
the Texas quota Of tue Grand Army of
the Republic, the members of which arc
sworn to hold the power Of the South, re-
gardIcss Of Constitutional or legal barriers.
That work is now in rapid progress, and
funds are being supplied through the
"Loyal Leagues" by the Radical Con-
gressional Committee ofthis city, of which
Mr.. Schenck, of Ohio, is chairman. My
information is to the effect that the mill
tary organization is now being rapidly
pushed forward nall the Southern States,
and it is reported that the supreme COM
mand of this revolutionary forco has been
bestowed on the late commander of the
Fifth Military District. In view of this
powerful organization, which stands
ready to throttle the Government, the
late proclamation of the President may
not be ill-timcd. OF the truth of this
statement there is now abundant proof,
and steps will be taken by the Govern
mcnt to meet the impending danger.

THE PRESIDENT AND GEN GRANT.-The
Baltimore Ga=ctte expresses surprise at
the apparent inability of its cotemporaries
to understand General Grants Cline"
since he has been member of the Cabi-
net. Tho editor thinks, and we fully
agree with him, that, as General Grant
has been forced to speak, and has de-
clarel that his views are those of the
most pronounced Radicals, he is puzzle
no longer. But, says the Gazette:
We confess it does somewhat puzzle US
to comprehend what Mr.. Johnson meant
by taking General Grant into his Cabinet
when the latter did not approve his policy,
or what he means by ordering the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of military des-
potisms, pure and simple, in the South,
and reminding General Grant, at the same
time, of the duty Of the President to- o''take
care that the laws be faithfully executed"
and of his oath "to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution" We understand
General Grant. but not Mr.. Johnson. We
sec clearly that the policy of the former
will bring about the inevitable destruc-
ton of the South and the final and COM
plotc overthrow of what remains Of tho
Republic anarchy in one section and
discord in the other We do not see how
the inconsistent and halting measures of
the President are calculated to avert the
impending ruin, OF even temporarily stay
its advance.

RADICAL CONVENTION AT RALEIGH
For several days, Radical Convention
has been in session at Raleigh, N. G. The
following resolution in regard to Confis-
cation was adopted:
Rcsolved, That the Republican party OF
North Carolina, on the subject of confis-
cation, and all other matters pertaining
to reconstruction, will faithfully adhere to
and abide by tho reconstruction plan and
measures Of Congress.
The Raleigh Sentinel thus discourscs
upon the Convention:
"It is said, by those who were so unfor-
tunate as 10 be present, that the pow-wow
of tho white and negro Radicals, on
Wednesday night, exceeded all powers of
description. Confusion, disorder, vtu-
pcration, appeals to the passions, vndic-
tivcncss, hate and cftiuva, were rife
There is one very noticeable and marked
difference between the present Radical
Convention and that which met in this
city, in March last, to wit: in tho char
acter and appearance of the white dele
gates. The present is incomparably in
ferior in that respect. With, of course,
somo few exceptions, as was remarked to
us by an intelligent colored man, they
care the sorriest looking set Of white
mon'' we have ever beheld."

A Western Plan Of Southern
Relief.

A writer in the St. Louis Republican
proposes what he characterizes as IA
quick, certain, sure plan to reconstruct
the South, restore its prosperity and pre-
vent the possibility of being ruled by ne
groes and fanatics" !" Here it is:
"Every man in the Southern States
must now see that the old plan of large
plantations must be done away with, and
to keep such places, now that the negroes
are free, is neither practicable nor dosira-
BILE. Large plantations, if practicable,
are againsGth true interests OF the South.
What they need is population; population
is political power and wealth.
'That being the case, how are they to
acquire this population? The answer is
easy. Let every man in the South in
stantly subdivide his land into forty acre
tracts, as near as possible dividing the
wooded and cleared land equally, at any
rate giving to each forty acres five or ten
of wood. When this is done, let them
offer to the people of the Western States
to give to each settler from those States
alternate forty acres Of land, requiring
no other terms than that each settler
shall bring with him team. farming i'm
plements and means to build house, and
five years residence.
In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and other
Western States land is worth from $50 to
sl5O per acre. These lands are out of
the reach of the thousands and hundreds
of thousands OF young, entcrprising and
industrious men who are looking about
IL ri INT
these alternate forty acres Of good rich
land to them, and instantly every avenue
of travel will be filled with intelligent,
thrifty, practical farmers, going south
with their wives, their horses and i'm
proved farming implements to settle on
the lands donated them. We mention
Western men because, as contrastcd with
foreign population, they are skilled
farmers.
Let this be done. and in five years at
most we shall have an overwhelming
white population ruling the country, de-
vcloping it's resources and building up
schools, colleges, academies, churches and
railroads where now there arc none. Let
this be done, and we shall soon sec
height of prosperity in the South never
dreamed of by them. The Brownlows,
Hunnicutts, and all such fanatics, with
their negro votes, will vanish like the
mists of morn before the rising sun. Let
this be done, and the alternate forty acres
reserved will be worth fvefold more than
the whole is now Let this be done, and
the South will rise up again as q ruling
power in the land, and confscatlon and
excessive taxation will vanish.

GENERAL BEAUREGARD.-Thc following
extract from private letter, says the
Montgomery Advertiser, dated New York,
September I'd, and received in this city,
will interest the innumerable friends of
the distinguished hero to whom it refers:
General Bcauregard has been stopping
in our city for several days past, and is
quite lion, but very secluded and quiet
one in his way. lie is, however, so re-
tired in his habits, and so gcntemanly
and unobtrusive in his manners, that thus
fur he has hardly allowed any attention
to be paid to him. lie is at present On a
visit to the beautiful country seat, in one
of the most recherche rural districts, of one
of our wealthicst and most honorable mer-
chants, who. i'll past times, ere our sad
civil war broke the friendly feelings which
existed between the people of the North
crn and Southern States, amasscd a very
large fortune in the Southern trade. He
now takes pleasure in rcpaying, as far as
he can, the gratitude he owes to tho South
for all his wealth and riches, by treating
her most distinguished, as we'll as her
lowliest children. with every mark OF con-
sideration, kindness, courtesy and respect,
wherever he finds an opportunity to do
SO. The General appears to be in excel
lent health, and evidently desires nothing
moro than to see tho whole country once
moro united on the broad basis of good
fellowship and fratcrnal regard"

2 The progress of, Life Insurance in the
United States, proves this great crown
ing triumph of modern science and
philanthropy to be one. Of the marvel
GUS features Of our social economy.
From established data, we find that
forty-one American companies, during
the fiscal year, ending November, 1866,
effected Insurance on the lives OF no
less than one hundred and thirty thou
sand persons, the gross amount insured
being three hundred and eighty million
dollars. The income of these COM
panies for the same time was forty-tWo
million dollars, and over i've million
dollars were paid to widows and or.
phans. The whole number of lives In
sured, at the period above stated, was
three hundred aud sixty-five Thousand,
and the total amount Insured for was
one thousand million dollars. These
figures are certainly stupendous, ana
forcibly illustrate the great sympathy
and just attributes of our people.
Moreover, large as they are, they are
augmenting with great rapidity, as the
fact is now established, that the money
invested in Life Insurance, is consider
ed quite as legitimate in the current ex-
penses of the day, as that paid for food, i,
raiment, and the other immediate me-
cessities of life.
