stated that "a movement Is on foot to bring
out General BUTLER for President and
BENJAMIN f. WADE. for Vice President
upon B. thoroughly Radical platform"
What proportions this movement may take
it is difficult to tell. The movement, doubt
less, has its origin in determination to
force Gen. GRANT, ON Radical platform, il
the result of the March and april elections
in New Hampshire and Connecticut shall
convince tie Republican politicians that
his nomination for the Presidency will in
sure them success. Viewed in any other
aspect such movement would be utterly
absurd. The Republican members of Con-
gress have been Radical enough in all con-
science-so Radical that they are as rapidly
as possible h1rryiug the couLtry to de-

l-- SrOeS In 1<OulS1Rna.
The Ne,o Orleans Times of the 18th, in
referring to the fact that "the breach in the
Grand Levee at Point Coupee endangers
thirteen parishes" in that State, says that
."bad as the condition is among the plant
ers and the White inhabitants, that of the
Negroes is still worse;' that ''upaoard OF
t,oenty thousand are no,o at the point of star
vatiors, and almost entirely destitute of all
the necessities of life." and that ''unless
some speedy relief comes to succor them,
the resulting lamentable consequences will
be scarce calculable."
That is the condition of affairs in Louisi-
ana. 1t is as bad in Mississippi, and in
nearly all the other Southern States, where
the Republican Party has for two years been
busily engaged in trying to subordinate
the White race to the Negroes. Not long
er ago than last fail did Republican stump
ers claim that the Almighty SO hardened
the hearts of the Southern Whites that
they prolonged the War until the Federal
Government was furnished a preteXt for
proclaiming the freedom of the Slaves.
The Negroes have been lkened to His
chosen people, and the assertion has been
made time and again that He would not
have given us final victory until they were
made free. Is it not strange that if this
were SO, these chosen people should be
vagabonds, marauders, thieves, and thou
sands of them on the verge of starvation

The Commercial, in giving Cincinnati
railroads and hotels regular blowing up.
says: tE Is
At this moment we have fact to state
a mere fact that all the persons Interested
in Cincinnati should know, and that others
might as well not be troubled with. The
fact is that II it had not been for the second
class reputation of Cincinnati hotels and
railroads (or, more strictly speaking, rail.
Convention 1f the 20.h of Mdy ioOuld hdre been
called here, and the Democratic National
Conuention ,oauld haze folloDed, and more
than million of dollars would have been
spent here by those in attendance upon the
conventions. Other influences were at
work, but Chicago beat US because OF the
higher reputation of her hotels and the as
accommodations of her railroads.
though the convention to be held
was National and Cincinnati is the city
geographically nearest the center, while
Chicago is on the border. If our hotels
and railroads had the highest reputation
If they were not at least believed to be
second to those of Chicago--if we had q
hotel like the Fifth Avenue, of New York.
or the Continental, of Philadelphia-if we
had straight line Southern railroad-il
we had grand union depot and people
could come and go at pleasure-if the at.
fractions to detain travellers were balanced
against the facilities afforded for getting
+. away. Cincinnati, by virtue Of its central
location. would be the City of National
Conventions. both political and religious
and become in the best sense the Capital
City of the country. 1t will be observed
however, that there are several ifs.
81 The Commercial excuses itself for its plair
talk on the ground that the edition OF tha
paper in which the above is published
being dated on Sunday, can have no circu'
lation outside of the city.
