upon the situation
WASHINGTON, October 25. :.
The address of the Radical Congress
ional Executive Committee to the people
of the States that are to vote in Novem-
Der, appears this morning in the Congress
organ. This address is duly signed and
authenticated by the Chairman, General
Schcnck, and the other six members Of
the Committee. Every word of it points
to sanother civil war; as threatened al
ready by the organ of the Committee
Every word of it is addressed to the fears,
the passions the prejudices of the people.
1t shows what we knew before, that the
only hold which the Radicals have upon
the people is by the menace of force or OF
anarchy. Thus they dcnouncc and men
ace the free-thc yet unconquered people
of the great central States, who are about
to revolt from the despotism OF Congress.
The address rcproduccs some very ex-
ccllent comments upon the political situ-
alton from three Southern papers upon
the Radical designs, and makes them the
pretext for Radical violence, usurpation
and despotism. The Committee ought to
add some opinions on the subject as ex-
pressed by the Northern papers. l have
before me-the Boston Courier of the
25th-a paper edited by most able, and
conservative, and popular and influential
men, which goes bow-shot beyond any
Southern journal in condemnation of the
Radical despotism and in determination
to resist it.
Throughout the West and the central
States, and even in the Estcrn States, a
spirit of revolt arises against Radical
domination.
The Radical Executive Committee will
find their match before long. They have
no arguments for their despotic measures,
except the falsely assumed disloyalty OF
the Conservatives of the North and OF the
white citizens of the South.
The people of the North will not sub
nit to the extension of negro Radical
domination over them. No body pre-
tends that they will. Judge Chase fears
the experiment and goes against it. Sen
ator Trumbull is here, and will place him
self in direct opposition to Sumner on this
subject.
The North rcvolts from negro suffrage,
either in their own States or in the pre-
scrbcd South Will the great States of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio tolc-
rate the rule of eleven Afrcanized States
of the South ? These three States will
soon be, if they are not now, politically
rcgcncratcd They will move, as Ex-
Governor Horatio Seymour, OF New York,
has lately indicated, with their vast nu-
mercal force, against the despotism of
Senate, which is controlled by the solid
mass of New England Senators. They
will be prompted to move also.against the
representation of eleven Southern States,
of only three millions of negroes, by
twenty-five Senators.
The Boston Conservative organ de-
clares that negro suffrage will not be
heard of six months hence. l believe it,
There is rising feeling against it. So
Gen. Schcnck may bring on his civil war
at once.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.
The intelligence from Italy this morn
inc cxcitcs much interest in diplomatic
circles here. Garibaldii, the irrepresSble,
is before Rome with some force. and no
doubt has partisans in the Eternal City
itself. The French fleet had sailed, but
it is conjecturcd that it will hardly arrive
in time to arrest the revolutionary move
mcit. Some of the diplomatists here en-
press doubt whether Louis Napoleon is in
earnest for intervention. Had he been
so, he would have stopped the movement
some time ago. As to the result, it may
be, not only the uniication, but the re-
publcanization of Italy. The Republican
contagion of 1915 may extend to France
and Germany. SO the world may soon
witness stirring events.
Having got partially over our own do
nestle troubles there is no reason why
this country shonld not present Il specta-
Gle of union, concord and prosperity, and
be prepared to receive from Europe vast
additions to its population, wealth and
enterprise, from disturbed Europe. But
for us, unfortunately, there is very, SAD
prospect. A party intoxicated ana cor
ruptcd by long possession of absolute
power, now rules this country, through
M TRough the mass of Radical :Rcpubli-
oons may be honest and patriotic, they
sro @ under the domination of a few very
had men. The Radical leaders are bitter,
vindictivc, arbitrary and corrupt. Still
there is little chance to escape from their
dcspotism. Every Radical press and ora
tor now boastngy claim that the coun-
try is at their feet From the recon
structed Southern States they claim scv
enty electoral votes for their Presidential
nominee. With an addition of fifty men,
bers of the House and twenty Senators,
they will maintain their ascendancy in
the Legislature.
Having established State Governments
