Tho Radical Faction. /. vlur,u,u.


There is little doubt that an earnest effort
will be made, even by some republicans
themselves, to avert the possibility of the Old
Dominion being handed over to tho control of
negroes and their INSCRIPTIONS white leaders.
The reconciliation, so-called, of Bolts to Hun
nioutt and Hunnicutt to Pisrpoint, which
formed so pretty tableau in the political
history Of Virginia two months ago, was, after
all, but the h9l!sxess sham, though certainly
not intended as such by the party Of Northern
republicans who contrived to produce it. For
q brief time the trio above named appeared to
all the outside world on the most fraternal foot
ing; but the Convention came. rival interests
developed themselves, and the golden bowl Of
harmony was shattered. Bolts withdrew the
light Of his countenance from Hunnicutt, and
the latter, we suppose. only too glad to part
company with the vacillating chieftain Of Gull
pepper, addressed himself with renewed vigor
to the work of drilling his dusky disciples for
the political contes. Of few months hence.
From this event may be dated tho movement
which il now. we learn. silensly under way for
ComDiuiuy su0 rosPo0tspie oi0montOt VIC ro-
publican party with the cooperating or recon-
structed rebels. This, of course, endangers
Hunnicutt's chance for the Governorship and
gives Bolts one more opportunity to crafty
his inordinate love Of notoriety. But it would
seem that Pierpont has the inside track, and as
he has managed very skilfully up to this to steer
in deep, smooth water. between Scylla and
Charybdis--in other words, keeping on fair
terms with rebels without incensing the loyal
niggers-we venture to think he Is destined TO
be mine host of the Governors mansion for
another term. Pierpoint then, we will put
down as the leader OF one wing Of the repub-
lican party-the genteel, well-dressed folks,
with no particular love for poor Sambo, and
yet not averse to accepting his Invaluable aid
In the capacity of voter. Hunn'cutt leads
the black party, and these two constitute the
parties Of Virginia to-day, for we cannot see
the shadow of party org imitation among the
ex-rebel population. Thu movement we
alluded to as being on foot meditates chart
table coalition Of Union men and secessionists,
mutually oblivious of former differences and
aiming solely TO stave Off from Virginia the
fate that has befallen Tennessee.

The radical party Is evidently reaching
it's revolutionary extreme. 1t begins to sup
port men, instead Of principles. II forgets
that there is no law altered in the
removal Of General Sheridan, and fancies that
no one can carry out the reconstruction acts
who may not be Its favorite. We venture
the assertion that under the rigid and impair
tal rule Of the Fifth Military District by General
Thomas we shall have no fault to find. The
truth is that from FIRST to last the reconstruo-
ton efforts Of Congress have been mere patoh-
work. Instead Of commencing a completely
new organization of the Southern Territories,
they have patched up the old system here and
mended it there, until we no longer recognize
any features Of the great principles which, as
basis. underlie our system of government.
Politicians forget in their personal ambitions,
the good Of the country. President johnson
imagines himself the embodiment Of all law,
legislative, judicial and executive; and Con-
gress imagines itself to possess the same COM
bination of opposing forces. Wherever we
look we see growing tendency on the part of
political parties to support certain men. 1t is
an evil we must correct, otherwise our repub-
licanism Is o thing Of the past

The post Of Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Pisnipotentiary from the Italian kingdom
to the government at Washington, 80 long and
so honorably held by N. Bertinatt, and rem
dered vacant by his appointment to the italian
mission at Constantinople, has, we are glad to
learn, been intrusted to worthy successor In
the person Of N. CerrutL N. Cerruti Is not
unknown in the diplomatic world, having
already oiled several important positions. In
1861 he was appointed to the italian mission
at Constantinople. Later he was intrusted
with special mission to Teherau, and was
successful In concluding . commercial treaty
between the Shah Of Persia on the one
hand and the Italian government on the other.
For the last four years he has been at.the
head Of tho Italian legation in Switzerland.
Having studied republican institutions In the
Old World, he comes to behold their wondrous
development In the New. His opportunities
for personal inspection Of what is here to be
seen have not been many; but the energy and
activity Of the American people have already
forced thems slves upon his attention. As
might be expected from his pRmsrnus and
varied diplomatic appointments, n Cerruti Is
an accomplished linguist English and French
he speaks with elegance and fuency, and with
some Of the languages Of the East he is
equally familiar. Warmly attached TO this
country, he speaks gratefully Of the services
which America has rendered to the cause Of
Italian freedom and independence. In few
days he will present his credentials at the
White House and enter upon the duties Of his
Office. Our wish for him is that bis mission
may be successful and that his sojourn among
us may be pleasant.

Now Era In Music and the Drama.
A revolution of no ordinary moment has
taken place ON the metropolitan stage, which,
considering the wide sphere OF good or evil
belonging to this great institution and the low
sbb to which it was brought must be regarded
a. great public good The stringent laws to
which the stage has ever been subjected BY
the governments Of Europe conclusvely show
how largely II affects the public welfare. Here
the want Of such laws led TO serious abuses
The managers, not content with ruling their
ill-paid and overworked employees, formed an
association for the purpose Of debating terms
TO everybody. The HERALD, true TO its prlnci-
pies Of free trade In everything, drst checked
them In their course, and the association. after
many aborfive struggles Tor existence, melted
away before the indignant rebuke OF the
people. "A new order Of things is now in pro-
gress. and the stage bids far to resume Its
sway over the public mind. A brilliant season
has been inaugurated, and American genius,
80 pre-eminent in other spheres, is now
brought forward in music and the drama.

results. The constant aim of the American
people Is to be foremost Of all nations in
science. art and every branch Of civilization.
When England or France build formidable
iron-clads, we 60 to work and launch others
that can sink them. When Ristori brings tho
Elizabeth of history before us on the stage, we
produce Lander at the same theatre with
equal success. Nay, more; we send singers
and actresses to Europe, and they gain the
highest honors there. Dickens, a foreign police
reporter, is coming among us To read his
reports, and he will be favorably received. We
have many police reporters equally capable
of reading in public and Of equal experience.
The revolution in music will put an effectual
stop to the influx Of tenth rate singers from
Europe who have been presented to us
as artists by INSCRIPTIONS managers. True
musical or dramatic genius always finds
welcome here, and managers who en-
deavor to place everything before their
patrons in proper style need not dread
failure. With the brilliant array of novelties
set before the public this season by the various
managers, there is every reason to expect that
1t will eclipse all former ones, both in calibre
of artists and completeness of arrangements.

INTERESTING ENTERTAINMENT.- There
was large and select audience at the
Tabernacle last evening to witness the
interesting programme presented for
their entertainment The young ladies
and gentlemen who volunteered for the
occasion acquitted themselves in a man
ner that drew frequent applause from
those present. The musical part OF the
programme was shorn of some OF its
beauties in consequence of the piano,
kindly loaned for the occasion, being
taken away about six o'clock last even
ing, which necessitated the hunting of
another one after the time the exercises
were to have commenced. The enter
tainment was highly relished, and real
lied a good sum that will be appropriated
to relieve the wants Of the widows and
orphans. We hope Col. Kerr will or
ganize many similar entertainments in
future for the good cause.
