Tho Negro Vote 4 Balance Of Power.
The radicals, seeing the swelling torrent OF
public sentiment rising against their negro su-
premacy policy, begin to sing small. One Of
their organs in this city had labored article
yesterday, appealing psthetcally to the public
in behalf Of the "poor negro" 1t asks, "shall
four millions Of our countrymen be henceforth
serfs and outcasts in the land Of their birth
with their descendants through all genera
tions!" 1t calls this "the main questionable
great question remaining TO be solved by the
judgment and votes of the American people"
Now this is the merest balderdash and clap
trap nonsense. The writer knows very well, If
he has any sense, that the four millions of his
colored countrymen are neither serfs nor out
casts, and never can be again. They are on
perfect equality with the whites as regards
their civil rights and before the law. If por-
ton of them should be excluded from certain
political privileges for a time and for great
public reasons, that would be nothing more
than what happens to many white people in
this republic and land of equal rights. All
this talk about the negroes being seris and out
casts is supreme nonsense, and is made for the
purpose of binding the American people to the
real object of the radicals. No, there is no fear
of the negroes not having their rights; and that
is not the real question. The object OF the
radicals is to make the negro vote the balance
of power in our political system and govern
ment. A small party sometimes holds the bal
ance, aswe often see, in both State and general
elections The four millions of blacks in the
South may become the ruling power Of the re-
public through holding that balance We see
already how demoralized and extreme the re-
publican party has become in its efforts to get
The negro vote. What will not that party OF
any other do to gain power through the negro
vote, il that vote can give it! In fact we are
now in danger Of having this great republic
governed by the negroes and in the interests Of
negroes This is "the main question" really
at issue, and all the pretence about negro rights
is sheer humbug.

exclusively upon the HERALD for news-our city
press has at length screwed its courage up to
enter the lists against the HERALD, the cham
pion Of the rights Of the American people to
enjoy the highest advantages which the modern
newspaper, with the aid Of steam and electri-
city, and all the appliances Of modern civiliza-
ton can offer to the public. The HERALD, Of
course, does not hesitate to pick up the glove.
1t is eager for the fray, confident that hence
forth, as hitherto, it can compel its competi-
tors themselves to acknowledge that it can
overcome them all, whether they choose to
fight singly or in combination. Whoever shall
come of victor in the contest, the public will
win great benefits from it, and none can doubt

The Impeachment, investigation bas re.
suited in most ing'orious fzzle. A few days
ago, the committee having heard all the
available evidence, voted down by large
majority a resolution to the effect that the
evidence justified the return of articles o!
impeachment. Rut to show to their radical
friends throughout the country that they are
not wanting in that degree of hate and vim
dietiveness which characte rize the character
Of a true radical, the committee adopted by
strict party vote a resolution censuring
the President, because, forsootb, he cheese to
be a man instead of the cats paw Of the
Jacobins. This is the end Of the farce. The
committee has passed away, and will only
be remembered with disguss as an evidence
of radical ignorance and intolerance.

The Impeac IAN ent Hum bug

The New York Times saws: THIS whole
iml eachment movement is an outrage and
scandal. 1t has been set on foot in utter
contempt Of every principle Of justice, aud
is prosecuted without the slightest regard
for PERSONAL rights or common decency -
Usually an impeachment or indictment OF
any sort proceeds upon definite allegations
Of crime but here it is Sc. on foot to zee il
possibly some charge Of crime may no. be
male. Usually no testimony is admitted
but that which is pcr,inen. to the case, and
from actual witnesses of the acts alleged to
have been c. mmited bu, here the widest
and most absurd hearsay is taken rs EVIL
dence, and no regard whatever is paid to the
legal naxims which bod all men innocent
until they are proved guilty. The whole af-
fair is an uuscrupulous, malevolent crusade
against the President, having its origin in
political and personal disappointment, and
for its object the omplishment OF party
purposes, attainab bic in no other way.

A dispatch has been received by the Rus
sian Minister in Washington, stating that the
Russian Government, has ratified the treaty
disposing Of their American territory to the
United States, so that we are now in pos
session of that portion Of the continent. The
neat step in the transaction will be the ap-
preparation by Congress Of the purchase
money agreed upon. There will probably
be no hesitation in the performance Of this
essential part of the transaction, as the credit
of the government is pledged to make good
the purchase on the terms offered. The pub
lie Of this and other countries have already
ceased to regard this extraordinary affair
with amazcment, ard however in,I or,ant the
possession Of Russian America may be in
The future history of this nation, the affair is
of 50 little practical moment at the present
time, that it will he almost forge often in the
course of few months.

Mr.. Greeley seems to have a perfectly cor

Of most of those who edit radical ne~spa-

fully vindica,es the justice of this aenlerce,
by throwing mud at Mr. Greeley, after tie
fashion of paper in Indiana called the
White River Clipper, which thus "unpack.

Horace Greeley is a corrupt man, and has

Fresh Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-It is not true
that there has been any formal resigna-
tons by members of the Cabinet. TIL In
telligencer's statement is evidently founded
on the fact that the several members of the
Cabinet have repeatedly intimated to the
President that they were ready to retire at
any time If he should desire them to do so.
Secretary Seward and the French and
Spanish Ministers, who went on a trip to
Yorktown and Fortress Monroe on Friday,
returned to Washington this morning.
F. w. Seward, Assistant Secretary of
State, will arrive here tonight.
1t is probable the Dominican republic
has sent a messenger to Washington to
treat for the sale of Somona to tho United
States, but he has not yet arrived here.
Gen. Rousseau, In letter to Gen. Grant,
saws: $50 much Of Gen. Sheridan's charge
as alleges that visited his command, and
interfered with his duties, is false. As to
suggesting his removal, did say, in answer
10 a telegram from Washington inquiring
how things looked in Louisiana, that
the state Of affairs was gloomy, that the
people were much depressed. and that any
change would be almost universally
acceptable. This telegram referred to
matters and things in general, and was so
intended, including Gen. Sheridan in the
scope of this, bat his name was not men
toned. Whilst l claim the right in com
mon with all others to eriticise so much Of
Gen. Sheridan's administration as is not
purely military, and which solely con-
Germs the civil policy of the country, yet
on nv late visit to New Orleans / scrupu-
lousy refrained from doing so, and SO far
as l know and remember, | expressed no
opinion for or against his policy to any
body in his district. l had no purpose or
motive to do so, and my recollection,
think, is as distinct about this as it is usu-
ally or as it can be about anything"

sECRETARY sERARp.

1t is reported that some Of the coun-
sellers Of the President have advised him
to retire Mr.. Seward from the State De-
partment, and the indications Of the past
few days make it not improbable that Mr.
johnson has the matter in contempla-
ton. b
1t is very clear that Seward is not an
element ofstrength in the administration.
He does not possess the confidence of any
party or section, nor does he deserve it.
As statesman, diplomatist and party lead
er he is failure He is old and passee.
Since he was Governor of New York, he
has done nothing He has written and
spoken volumes, containing much learn
ing, evineing great ability, and producing
an infinite deal of mischief He is a
iesuitical intriguer, but lacks the tact to
make his plans serviceable TO his own
ambition. He abolitionized the Wing
party of the North to secure his
own elevation to the Presidency,
bat failed to reach it; and the party
that he made and placed in power now
spurns him as a traitor. The studied
hostility to the South which that scheme
made necessary, and the deceitful course
that he pursued in the first two months
of Lincoln's administration, forever bars
him to the confidence of this section.
Conservatives have been disposed to give
him credit for his moderate course during
the past two years, but they have no
faith that he can do anything; and ev>
erybody recognizes that both the domes-
tic and foreign policy of Mr.. Johnson
could be better served by some man, who
though he might not bring to the State
Department the erudition or the polished
pen of Seward, would make Premier of
more real force, and command a larger
influence.
