to save the party. Saving the country is,
beneath their notice. --,ri-.i.,,... l..',,,,f
The Aduertiser has, thrown over Thad
Stevens. There is quantity of other poor

The Radicals are glad to count their ma

merly blessed their calculations. -..=-.
Greeley's old knees shake together at the
prospect before him. Chase is gone, and
so Is Horace's Postmaster Generalship.
Numbers of the Alabama negroes called
for "forty acres and a mule" after they had
put the thing in the box" -..gf- l. 81
The New York Times thinks Colfax had
better make another speech and take back
considerable of what he has said.
About all the negroes in South Carolina
have registered twice. Infants and women
have also registered, and as a consequence
the list is out of all proportion to the actu-
al population. -i I-is.. s3
t Two men were found hanging on tree
along the GrandN River, Missouri, with a

The Radical game now is to encourage a
split in the party, cause three Presidential
| candidates, to be run, and so carry the
election into the House, where, of course,
an ultra man will be chosen. Neat, but not
likely to succeed. i.H- @.f .r. a.
THE Daily Advertiser recently published,
in its Washington correspondence, state
ment that the President wanted Sherman
to take Grants place in the War Office, and
that Sherman declined because he was ''in
political sympathy" with the General. The
| Washington Republican, on the authority OF
the President, declares the statement to be
false in whole and in all its parts"
AS Ohio has refused to allow negro suffrage,
perhaps that will furnish better ground,
in Mr.. Summers statesmanlike Judgment,
for pushing law through Congress which
shall force negro suffrage on all the States
together. Statesmanship used to be con-
sidered wise comprehension of the wants
of the people; the new definition seems to
be conceited attempt to play the school
master over them. .r.-r-...,...l .
1t will be utterly impossible for the Re-
publican party to succeed in its great mis-
sion unless the ballot is sternly protected,
says FOrney; but we suppose he means
such protection as was given the soldiers
ballOting for Mr.. Lincoln in Indiana dur
ing the war. .HH. si-., .t.. ..
The Ne,o York Commercial Advertiser SAYS
''the result did not turn half so much on
the question whether colored men should
vote in Ohio, as whether we should, by
military law, convert the Carolinas, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.,
into st. DomingOs?" -I.r.H- !
The Democrats not only have a majority
in the Ohio Legislature, but also have the
legislators most eXperienced-said to be
abler than the Republicans.-Daily Adu.
Then there must be some little education
and ability among Democrats if they ex-
Gel the Republicans in mental gifts and ac-
complishments, as the Daily says.
Mrs. Lincoln's milliner has been to see
her cast-Of wardrobe, and has told her
bit of scandal. She says that Mrs. Lincoln
would often receive present from per-
feet stranger, who, on reception day, would
make himselfknown and, with the grossest
sort of flattery, gain her influence for his
otfice-seeking suit. After the first few
months, Mr.. Lincoln 'shut down on it."
and the result was many scenes.
The brute Hoffman, who stabbed his di-
vorced wife eleven times in church under
pretense Of kissing her, nearly effected his
escape after the deed. He was chased by
the whole congregation until stopped by a
sJalwart countryman, and taken to jail
On the way the mother of the murdered
woman beat him over the head with a
stick, and he was roughly used by many.
1t was with difficulty that the crowd was
prevented from lynching him.
I Forney talks, to the extent of two COL
umns in his Philadelphia paper, about the
''distranchisement" of the Radicals in Ma
ryland and Kentucky. He says that, be-
cause they are in minority, they "epjoy
no more rights than if they cast their
votes into the Potomac" Can idiocy go
further? Yes; for he proceeds to argue
as he calls ito this minority, the negroes
must receive the ballot and every oppo-
nent of radicalism be disfranchised.
The Joann nal gives as a reason for the
Democratic success in California, that the
Republicans selected as their standard
bearer man whose record was not clear.
The Democrats availed themselves of tn e
mistake to bring out candidate who pos
sessed many qualities which were lacking
in his opponent, and they won the victory.
/ Of course this was the way-the Demo-
Gratis presented the best candidate. This
fact is what alarms the Radicals, as the
transcript says-the want of capable states
men; We might add, honest ones. r- ...
Martin Cassidy, the jockey who met such
a sudden death in the hurdle race at Je-
rome Park, on Tuesday, was an English
man. lately imported by Mr.. Jerome. The
accident was due to his unskilful riding.
i Bearing too heavily upon Negrita as the
horse was taking the third hurdle, the hoof
of the animal was caught on the top rail
and Cassiday hurled forward with fearful
velocity. turning two somersets and strik-
ing on his head, Negrita performing the
same evolution and falling upon her rider.
Cassidy's teeth were shattered and his jaw.
broken, and within five minutes he was
dead. In all the gaudiness of the jockey
dress-white with tie brown sash-the
bleeding mass of humanity was spirited
away as suddenly as it fell, and the races
| were resumed.
