The Fate of Radical Preachers.

A most significant, if not just fatality,
has overtaken, one at a time, that portion Of
the clergy who haye preached politics in the
pulpit. 1t may or may not be regarded as
singular, but it is nevertheless true, that
only that class of preachers who have pros
tituted themselves and their pulpits to the
base use of demagogues, tricksters and
swindlers, has been suspected of, charged
with and convicted of fornication, seduction,
rapes and other ''imprudent" frivolities.-
We have vet to hear of the first instance in
which minister of the gospel who has faith
fully confined himself to the glorious mission
with which he was charged by his LORD
and MASTER,-who has preached to the
people Christ and Him cruciied-who has
not made his pulpit the sewer and vault of
radical filth end radical calumny and radi-
cal falsehood, we repeat. we have yet to
hear of the first minister Of the gospel who
has ever been suspected Of, much less charg-
ed, convicted and exposed for having
committed or attempted to commit any of
the offences we have here enumerated. None
but radical pulpit stumpers have been sus-
pected or proven guilty of any of these
things.-!Sprinafeld (Iu.,) Register.

THE GREAT MISTAKE. "

The New York Times Ia republican pa
peri says there has been "a great mistake
made by its party, in the reconstruction bu-
siness. Read what it says, as follows
The great mistake in what has been done
since the war closed is, that it has been done
in the spirit aud temper of conquerers dealing
with conquered people. After war be-
tween independent nations peace comes on
ly through a treaty,-a compact TO which
both are equal parties. 1t is not imposed by
the victor without the consent of the van
pushed, and maintained by constant dis
play of armed power. Such close of war
would not be peace. 1t would heal none of
the wounds, soothe none of the asperiles,
allav none of the hatreds which the war had
caused: and this is far more true of the
peace that should follow a war between con-
tending sections of the same country. The
terms of peace in such a case, If 1t is to bring
with it the fruits of peace, must be such as
the judgment of both parties can approve
and such as both can accept without sense
of humiliation. The Presidents policy had
this teaturs as 81 sn6ss in Is details it
made the south an asserting and a willing
party to the peace which 1t sought to bring
about. And the great defect in the policy
of congress has been, that II springs from a
different temper and breathes a different
spirit. Whether right or wrong in its details,
it is imposed upon the south by force. 1t
goes out under threats,-backsd mp by mill
tary power, and enforced as an act and
badge of subsection rather than offered as a
basis of peace which both parties can accept
with honor, and as conducive to their com
mon interests Differences of detail would
have been very easily adjusted, If the sub
ject had been thus approached in the spirit
of a real and substantial peace. But this
has not been done. We are as far from
real peace to-day as We we're when the war
was closed, Indeed, the feeling that now
prevails between the two sections is less
peaceful, more bitter and more hostile, than
it was when Lee surrendered to Grant. The
people feel this to be fact, and they deplore
it as calculated to plunge the country deep.

For the Argu
The New Union Arithmetic,

The average fall of the Ohio river, from Pitts
burg TO Cincinnati, is six inches per mile and the
measured by the recent government
survey, six hundred and six miles, giving n total
fall of thirty-three feet in that distance onion
of Nou. 80.
Hum Hah Well now How is that
We thought that if a river fell at the aver
age rate of half foot per mile for six hun
dred and six miles, it would fall six hundred
and six half feet, or three hundred and three
whole feet, in the total distance But the
Union says that it falls only 'thirty three
feet in the total distance. How can that
possibly be? Do you give it up? Yes, you
do
Well, we will explain this mystery, and
answer the Union conundrum. Be it known,
then, that the Ohio river falls down-hiH
only for three hundred and thirty six 1885,
miles out of the total six hundred and six
(6061, and that for the remaining two hun
dred and seventy (27O) miles it actually. falls
uphill Consequently, as it falls half foot
per mile. it falls dornhM one hundred and
sixty eight (l6s) feet and falls uphill one
hundred and thirty-fve (l35) feet; and
therefore the net dOpn hiR fall is only thirty
three 1881 feet, just as the Union tells US
which was the thing to be proved.

are respectfully recommended to subscribe

thing or two that they did not know before

TRE GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
NTHE EMPIRE STATE.
The Democrats Cast the Largest
Vote liver Rolled by any Party.

Official returns from all the counties give
the democratic state ticket 373,S86 votes,
and the radical state ticket 1924, OF votes,
making democratic majority OF 49,o69.
The aggregate vote in the state is 697 ,9O5.
This is much the largest vote ever cast when
the election of governor or president was
not involved.
In 1865, when Slocum and Barlow were
candidates for secretary of state, Siocum re,
ceived 272,763 votes, and Barlow 30O,234
votes; Barlow's majority, 27,49l. :.
The comparison of this years vote should
be made with that of 1865, when the election
was for the same class of state officers.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the increas.
ed democratic vote over 1865 IS l0l JIG
The increase of the radical vote over 1865 is
24,763.
Comparing the vote of 1867 with the vote
of 1866, when Hoffman and Fenton were
candidates for governor, and we have a dem
ocratic gain of 81 1850; radical loss, 4z,2so
| net democratic gain over 1866, 63,63ol
The largest vote ever polled in this state
was in 1864, when Mcclellan and Lincoln
| were candidates for president The aggre
gate vote that year was 1912. Mcclellan
received 36l 1856, and Lincoln received 36S,

cast, but each party showed greater strength
than had ever before been exhibited. Thu
| it will be seen that the radical vote reached
its height in 1864.
The democratic vote this year is $40

the largest vote ever polled by any politica
