Tho Radical Party sinking

Wendell Phillips is out with another
pronunciamento. He thinks the Radical
party is drifting in the storm and likely
70 sink under the waves. Heis the ablest
Of the Radical propheta and the hravsst
and most truthful withal Hear him;
One thing is evideut-the Republican
shin is drifting before the wind. With
out compass or pilot, she has given up
all hope of reaching any particular har-
hor, and only aims to Outride the storm.
We once supposed she had drift sail
concealed under tbs waves, and was
seeking some special port HIT day by
day It becomes more and more evident
that she has neither cargo nor destina-
ton, and is only waiting for daylight to
discover what sea she is in, and what flag
it viii. be safest to run up.
How much strength the party needs
in order to keep hold of Office, and
whence that strength will easiest be Sc
cured; these are the questions. The
answer to them will determine the
Republican platform Of 1868. IL the
negro seems trustworthy friend, she
will run up the white flag of Justice.
Should that mild type Of apprehension
which Fessenden, Weed, Sherman and
Seward represent, seem a safer reliance,
then the old black rag that has, in front
of doughiace ranks, hrayed so often the
battle aud the breeze, will be nailed to
the masthead.
Grants reticence was at first the
silence Of soldier who had no ideas.
After a while It became the trick Of a
clique, who have had him in training,
and who were doubtful which section OF
the Republican party would prove the
strongest. They kept him uncommitted,
leo far, at least, as words go) that he
might be ready, at any moment, TO de-
clare for the successful side. At last il
becomes doubtful whether such great
States as New York and Pennsylvania
can be carried for either Of the Repub-
iican sections or creeds, even with Gen.
eral Grant for candidate. Though Fes.
sender and his clique have thrown Of
everything but the Republican name, eau
tious men begin % fear that even that vii
be overweight even for Grant in his rac'
with the Democratic candidate. Grant,
reticence has, therefore, got new value
He must still keep his lips shut, waiting

The Late Murderous Attack on Judge Bus.
teed In Mobile.

The Mobile papers of Sunday contain
the details of the murderous assault upon
Judge Busted by the United States Dis
trict Attorney. L. V. B. Martin. About
half past nine on Saturday morning, as
Judge Busteed was crossing from the
Battle House to the Custom House oppo-
site, Mr.. Martin, who was standing at the
entrance to the Custom House, leveled
revolver and fired at him, the ball
striking just below the breastbone and
knocking him down. He fell backward,
outside of the pavement, with one foot
lying thereon, and Martin then advanced
and deliberately fred two more shots,
one of them striking the right leg below
the knee and passing up into the thigh,
several inches above the knee, whence it
was afterwards extracted by the surgeon.
assassin spoke not word during
the proceeding or before it. After firing
the third shot he was rushed upon by
Mr.. Turner, United States Commits
siouer, and seized; whereupon he at
tempted to shoot that individual also.
Colonel Harry Maury, however, came up
at this moment, and overpowered Martin.
Judge Busted was then removed 10 a
carriage by several friends aud taken to
his room in the Battle House. The
most distinguished surgeons and physi-
clans in town we're summoned, and it is
to be hoped that his wounds, although
serious, will not prove mortal. Martin
was in great danger Of being lynched by
the exasperated crowd. and had to be
hurried off to Jail, where he will be kept
close prisoner. The Tines says:
The prisoner is understood to have
had very bitter feelings toward Judge
Busted for some time back, On Friday
he approached the Judge in the custom
house, aud in an excited tone, said,
Judge Busted, / wish to see you.
"The Judge replied, l am here, and
can see you now Martin said, 'No,
sir Judge Busted, | wish to sse yon on
the street, to which the Judge replied,
| do my business in my Office and not
on the street. Martin said, Sir, shall
see you on the street
Judge Busted is q man Of great
personal courage, and gave himself no
alarm about this threat, proceeding in
bis usual cool way with his affairs, and
taking no precaution for protection or
defense. 1t seems that the prisoner was
in wait for him this morning at the front
of the Custom House, ard commenced
the shooting as the Judge reached the
sidewalk on his way to his court"

We saw a month ago how white Re-
publican lips had become how
| thoroughly the election returns had
frightened the leaders. We knew then
that Grant would not be allowed to
sneak till il we're seen what it would be
safe for him to say. We have been long
convinced that, so far as Grant has ideas,
his reserve did not proceed from any
regularity Of his nature or from profess
sional etiquette or any idea Of dignity.
Il has been, all along, trick Of his
friends-men standing hslfway between
rebeldom and radicalism--to keep him
uncommitted until 1868, in order to see
how little he could venture to promise
without risking success. Forgiving and
credulous Radicalism would clutch at
him any time, no matter at what
eleventh hour he professad the faith.
Bitter and lynx-eyed Conservatism
would never use him If once his lips
uttered the hated pledge Of justice and
equality. His friends, therefore, lost
nothing by delay, aud might gain by it
everything. Hence his reticence.
A month ago the party, aghast, was
ready to hide in Grants skirts without
asking of him any pledge. Such was the
temper Of the meeting in Cooper Institute
some weeks ago. We have driited half
an oceans width since that The meet
ing in Faneuil Hall and the lobby at
Washington show that the Grant men
would put him on platform pledged to
something very near the nature OF John
sons message. If Grant speaks before
May, 1868, it will be only to oonciliate
and secure that element which we
used to call Border-Stateism : the
nightmare which cowed Lincsln and
inspired Seward; the misery capital
ist who cursed the Government he
swindled; the citizen who did nothing
but sneer, the Senator who proposed
nothing, objected to everything and only
found fault. These are Grants hacker
to-day; men who, like Maryland and
Kentucky, were not bold enough openly |
to take either side. If Republican
courage oozes out during the next six |
months as rapidly as it has done within
the last six, even this class cannot be |
relied on. The whole Republican party |
will 20 with Greeley to Richmond,
and so far as the negro is cen.
cerned, a vote cast for Grant will
mean no more than one for Pendleton or
Hancock If any reader thinks us un-
charitable in our judgment, let him go to
Washington and frequent the lobbies.
Meanwhile let him, in any event, use the
coming six months so wisely and with
such earnest activity as will either shame
or encourage these helpless and vaga-
bond puppets to an attitude somewhat
worthy of the loyal men who bore them
through hundred fights, so bravely on
their shields. WENDELL PHILLIPS.
