CoLoRED EM1GRANTs TO LIBERIA-The
company of colored soldiers that let Phila-
delphia in December last to settle in Liberia
reached their new home pleasantly by the
Edith Rose. Charles A. Harrall, formerly of
Elkton, Md, writes thus:
am very happy to say that words can
not describe the good and kind treatment of
the people, and the kind welcome of the
Government and the President. Monrovia
is fast-growing city. AS for the land of
Liberia, in regard to fertility, it is the best L
have ever seen. Vegetables are growing the
whole year round. All the company are in
good spirits. Tell my friends in Philadel-
phia that if they wish to procure good
home, as free gift, Africa is the only place
for them. We now reside at Bexley. right

A Washington dispatch to the Tribuas
recently said:
"Itis asserted on the very highest authori-
ty that the Government has offered to r.
lease Jefferson Davis on his own parole, but
that he has positively declined tc accept his
freedom unless the same is given uncon-
ditionally-"
We have conclusive evidence that no offer
to release Mr.. Davis has been made, and no
communication of any kind on that subject
has passed between him and the Executive

The Republican congressional committee
is busily engaged in the preparation and
distribution of political documents, mainly
such as have emanated from Congress in the
form OF speeches and reports. 1t is under
stood that some pamphlets are in prepara-
ton on the subject of the reconstruction acts,
and having special reference to existing is
sues. There is no doubt but the war has left
the southern communities sadly destitute of
accurate political information, and that there
is necessity for supplying this defect But
1t has also left the loyal men equally def
cient in organization, which is an essential
prerequisite to success, and without it infor-
nation cannot be carried to the masses of
the people in the non-reconstructed States.
1t must be borne in mind that men are there
by the hundred thousand who cannot read,
and that though these same men hold the
balance of power in those States they can
only be reached through efficient loyal organ
ization. This necessary work is being eff
tectively accomplished by the Union League
from its headquarters in this CITY, The
ground to be covered by the work of this Or
ganiZation will be limited only by the means
at its disposal. The whole of the unorgari-
zed will be reached if adequate means are
supplied.
The organization now has strong lodg-
ment in most of the States, and its members
are active and earnest in the dissemination
of accurate political information, and in en-
cnuraging industry, sobriety, and order
The inquiry is daily made, will there be
session of Congress in July? And the an
sWers are as various as the motives of the
questioners. 1t may be answered that
whether there will or will not be a session
in July must depend upon circumstances
which have not yet TRANSFERRED, or at least
have not been made public. We are clearly
of the opinion that decided majority of
Congress is averse to July session, provid-
ed the work of demonstrating the rebel States
shall be fairly conducted by the Administra-
ton. Any violent interference with this
work, or its suspension upon any prctense,
would bring quorum of Congress to the
Capitol in July beyond question. We doubt
if anything else will. 1t is thought by some
that the question of impeachment may in
duce an extra session. We think it will not.
That question was as vital when Congress
adjourned as it will be in July. Besides, if
the President shall in good faith conduct the
work of reconstruction under the laws of
Congress he will have done much to weaken
the advocates of impeachment, however suf-
fcient a cause may exist for such action

Poor (aarIbaldt.

The Garibaldi movement is ct an end. The
liberator and his two sons are now shut up in
an Italian prison. The Italian government,
too, has complied with the demands OF France,
and Italian troops have been recalled from the
territory OF Rome Poor Garibaldi! A second
time he has ventured in the same cause A
second time he has failed. Blood has again
been shed, but Rome is not yet the capital Of
Italy. It is still under the heel of clerical
tyranny, and, what is worse, this clerical
tyranny is backed up and encouraged by
French bayonets.
The defeat Of Garibaldi is an immediate gain
to despotc and reactionary principles; but it
is an open question whether IL will not prove
also an ultimate gain to liberalism in Europe.
The success Of French interference in this
matter will call forth a sigh of sorrow in the
heart Of every lover of liberty throughout the
civilized world. II may do more. II may
give to liberalism in Europe that cohesion
which it needs and without which it cannot
hope for success. II monarchs combine for
their mutual interest, we know no reason why
the peoples should not combine for their own.
The two classes of interests are not now, nor
have they ever been, the same. 1t will be
well il the populations learn this, and learn it
in time Pretended friend of liberty as he il,
Napoleon is in reality its most determined
enemy; and among the rulers of Europe Ma
poleon, we NAV rest assured, is not without
aiders and abettors.
II will not surprise us to learn that, goaded
into madness by this fresh defeat, liberalism in
Europe has hurst into something like newness
OF life. IL will not be difficult for them TO find
Q common grievance. Tho nations, one and
all, are taxed 10 the last point Of endurance.
The debts on account of which they are bur
dened have been incurred less in defence of
than in opposition TO their interests. Nothing
can rid them Of those burdens but general
uprising, and it will be difficult for history to
condemn them If general revolution is followed
by general reputation. Tie ten thousand
millions Of European debt have been burden
only to the people properly so called, and 1t
is unreasonable to expect that they should
patiently bear tho burden forever.

General Grnut,s Opinions.

The time has at length come when General
Grant may freely speak his opinions on the
great questions Of the day. Judging from his
acts, we are convinced that his views are those
Of a practical statesman and reformer which
win command the appreciation Of the whole
country. The eyes Of the people are now
turned upon him as the real Moses who is to
lead them out Of the wilderness. He is not a
radical fanatic, and he heartily despises cop
perheadism. Let him speak to the people as
their champion, standing between these ex-
tremes, and his voice will settle the succession
and the restoration Of the Union.

There is but on way TO ensure that the

eral Grant for President of the United Safes
by grand popular movement, Independent
OF all parties cliques and factions. Let the
people Of New York, of all shades of politics,
call at once a great public meeting for this
purpose, and thus form in the commercial
metropolis, whose voice is loudest against
radicallsm, the nucleus of Grant party which
shall spread all over the country. Under such
leader success is assured. Grants whole
career in the war and since the war proves
that the principles endorsed by the popular
voice are those which actuate his course Of
life. AS soldier he was brave and deter
mined, as conqueror reasonable AMI liberal,
and as public officer in time Of peace he
has established grand reputation for
economy retrenchment and executive ability.
All the principles he mas commended for during
the war and since its close assure the country
that reconstruction on fair and liberal basis,
and the reduction Of the national debt by two
hundred AMI fifty millions the first year, would
be the immediate fruits of his election TO the
Presidency. While he is dumb to the persua-
sions and Establishments of the politicians, he
would respond to the voice Of bis country
men, appealing to him without distinction Of
party, and his words wo uld be such as 70 show
that the confidence reposed in him would not
be misplaced. Let such movement as we
indicate at once be made in New York, and
the new party, with Grant. retrenchmens and
reform for its watchwords, will carry the who le
of the States from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and sweep into the two oceans every vestige Of
copperheadism and Jacobinism, with all their
stock in trade Of secession, African barbarism,
national banks, class legislation aud enormous
taxation.

The utter rout OF the radicals in the cleo
lions weighs very heavily on their minds-s1
least upon the minds Of what few are left The
organs Of the party are in the deepest distress,
and, like drowning man catching at straws,
they seek consolation in all sorts of devices,
excuses and promises of the future. Before
the election in New York they pretended not
to see the tremendous reaction that bad begun
TO upheave society from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The election in Pennsylvania was
nothing; in Ohio ii was mere temporary
thing. an accident and turned upon local
issues in another State it was fraud and
not the real expression OF the people, and

made to explain away facts and the true
cause OF radical defeat But since the election

changed Their note and tactics. L is now
Bull Run defeat They cannot disguise the
fact, but they endeavor to make out that the
fight was lost through fright and stampede,
and that their force is strong enough still TO
whip the enemy. Bull Run it was, trne
enough. II was a stampede and that. too, Of
the honest voters who have become disgnsted
with radical government. But it was worse
than Bull Run. The radicals are in the same
situation the rebels were when Sheridan swept
through the Shenandoah valley. They are
utterly broken up and scattered, never more 10

Sheridan's Ride Now and Then-A Com

When General Sheridan made his famous
dash through Virginia the enemy melted
before him like snow before tue sun. When
he marched through the Northern States lately,
under the auspices Of the radicals, the radical
majcrites melted away just as rapidly. The
power Of bis presence was felt as much on one
occasion % on tho other. Here ia New York,
where he stayed longest, came oitenest and
made tho mos. and longest speeches, the radi-
cals were defeated by over sixty thousand

there the radical majority was greatly reduced
II he had remained till the election was over,

have gone for the conservatives. He was in

election there, and radical defeat followed. So
II was everywhere. The name and presence
