THR WAR DEPARTMENT.

The dissraceful middle about the War
Department, which has kept the country in
> tnrmoil for nearlya wear, at the sacrifice of
all other interests, has finally ended, so far as
such an unclean thing can be ended, by the
Withdrawal of the miscreant Stanton. 1he
Colum bus Ohio Crisis justly observes that
the official death of this notorious individual
has been as uudignifcd and dishonorabie as
his official life was corrupt, tyrannous and
blood7y lie was literally kicked"oat OF the
Office rnon which he had fastened with the
tcpacity of the devil fish, with all the con-
conitants of indignity aud disgrace. He de-
vourcd the plumber aud the salary of his office
as !ong.as he could, and far beyond the pa
tiencc of the people and'tBcn sncaked out
of it, trembling at every shadow ne met, IN
the fear that it was some one of the thousand
victims of his diabolcal tyranny: He served
as the pivot upon which the impeachment
conspiracy turned !; and he has gone, down
with its failure, and in the company of such
tools as Wade and Butler. His-name will be
forever associated with the bl6odicst despot-
ism and the most disgraeeful venality and
treason that could be- committed under re-
publican form of government.
The successor of Stanton, Gen. John NJ.
Schofeld, is, apparently, one of Andrew john
sons predcstined mistakes. He is only better
than Stanton in being less notorious, and is
only less notorious for want of Stanton's
opportunities. He has for year OF more com
manded the satrapy of Virginia, and did all
his limited abilities would allow towards
reducing that venerable Commonwealth to the
condition of San Domingo, and its people to
slaves and paupers. lie was arbitrary, malig-
nant and fanatical to the last degree, consort-
ing and sympathiging only with niggcrs and
carpct-baggers, who alone rociprocatcd his
attention. lie was an assistant architect of
the niger Constitutional Virginia. thing
that while serving as monumental apotheosis
of Abolition barbarism, is the most disgrace
ful specimen Of legislation ever produced
What this individual will do rs successor
to Stanton may be anticipated from his career
in Virginia, and that will prove that all his
power will be exercised for the maintenance
of the military despotism in the South, and
the oppression and impoverishment Of its
people. lie is but phase of the pestilence
which has devastated the country and sub
verified the Constitution, and must be endured
until that healthier breeze of the popular will
shall blow the whole plague from our shores,
and the Abolition party from power.

Phillips on Grant.

The irrepressible Wendell Phillips was out
again on Friday, in another speech, at BOs-
ton. He said:
We will have the ballot for the negro by
agitation, soon.

Christianity occupied the throne of the Ce>

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT.

On Wednesday last the United States Dis
trict Court met in Richmond justice
Chase and Judge Underwood presiding.
The Chief Justice called the case of Mr.
Davis, when Mr.. Anderson of Mississippi,
one Of the counsel for the defence, read AN
agreement for postponemcnt till October,
signed by Evarts and OConor. The Chief
Justice asked if the counsel were ready for
trial independent of this stipulation.
Gov. Wcllcs, for the prosecution, replied
that in view of the absence of the District
Attorney, whose wife is in dying condition,
the absence of the prisoner caused by this
stipulation, and the absence of Mr.. Evarts,
who stood in position more directly repre-
senting the Attorney General, the case could
not we'll be gone on with. He suggested
some day of this term in October, when the
Chief Justice could attend.
The counsel for the defence moved for
~postponcmcnt, which the Chief Justice grant
Cd, saying at the same time that had the
trial taken place in May a year ago, or last
fall, or now, it would have been more con-
yenicnt for him as he was ready to try the
case. He would, however, attend next term
If possiblo in view of his other duties.
The witnesses, including Gen. r. L. Lee,
were recognized to appear the fourth Mon.
day in November, and the prisoners bail
end renewed.

A BONE TO FOREMAN,

The Radical party of this State, in Con-
vention assembled, threw the following bone
to the present, Governor, in the shape of a
complimentary resolution:
Pssolvcd, That the Union men of West
Virginia recognize in the present Chief Mag
istrate Of our State, Arthur L. Foreman, the
firm and fearless patriot, the sagacious states
man, the man who has, in his administration,
made treason odious and loyalty respectable;
and by his integrity and loyalty to principle
the State of West Firg inia is indebted in
part for her proud place in the Union of these
States We owe him deep debt of graft
tudc for contributing SO much to our pros
perity and peace. When others in high
places have faltered, he has ever proved true
to his trust. Our confidence in him is una
bated, and we shall continue to honor him
with this confidence wherever and whenever
he may wish to serve US.
With penetrating discrimination the mem.
bers Of the Convention have been able to re-
cognizc qualities in his Ezcellency that have
hitherto remained undiscovered. He is de-
scribed as 'sfirm and fearless patriot" when
in truth, his patriotism never elevated itself
above the thirst for position; he is denomi
mated s' sagacious statesman" whilst he is
only the meanest party trickster, who does
not scruple to engage in any meanness that
has the fcintest promise of advancing the in
tercsts of his party. The man who has, in
his administration, made treason odious and
loyalty respectable" We are not fully aware
of the means used by the Governor to make
treason odious, nor are we very confident that
any such result has been accomplished ; but
We do know that so-called loyalty has not at
tanned any great degree of responsibility in
this section of his Excellency's bailiwiek, and
in the keeping of its present representatives
it is not likely to rise above the average.
{" The proud place of West Virginia in the
Union of these States,' is sublime concep-
ton, and must have bewildercd the brain in
which it originated. What deep debt the
people of West Virginia owe him for con-
tributing so much to their peace and pros
perity," is beyond our comprehension
No Governor in tho Union, unless it be
the goddess Brownlow, deserves the execra-
tons of the people to greater extent than
this same Foreman, who has retarded the
prosperity of the State, by urging the enact-
ment of the most arbitrary laws, for their
government. lie has brought the ballot-box
into contempt by the appointment of unscru-
pulous and dishonest boards of registration,
who have stifed the voice of the people, by
running the machine in the exclusive inter-
est of the radical party. In many cases, as
in this county, the most consistent Union
men have been ostraciscd because they dared
to condemn the conduct Of Foreman and his
unprinciplcd minions. And yet, radicalism
regards Arthur Infamous Boreman as patri-
OF and statesman. He may DO in the csti-
nation of political plunderers, but he never
can be SO regarded by the decent white men
Of this or any other State.

GOING DOWN!

Radicalism continues to sink in popular
esteem the ground-swell of righteous indig-
nation is on the increase. From the Pacific
coast we have cheering information. Oregon
held her election on Monday week, and the
result was the complete route of mongrclism,
and the triumph of constitutional principles.
Six years ago the Republican majority in this
State was something over 5000. In 1861,
L;ucoln's majority was HOO; two years ago,
tbe present Governor WIS elected by two
hundred, and the Representative in Congress
by q majority somewhat larger: Now the
Democratic majority is twelve hundred for
representative, and an almost unanimous
Legislature, which has to elect United States
Senator in place of Williams, the present
Radical incumbent.
This is the first gun of the campaign since
the Chicago bullring pitted Hiram Ulysses
against the field, and the result is all that
could be desired. The sober, second thought
OF the people is beginning to tell, and Novem-
Der will wipe ont the reasonable cabal that
has been rioting in corruption, and sporting
with the liberties Of the people. One by one
they will sink into graves of obscurty, except
as they are brought up criminals for the
offences committed against decency, and the
just administration of civil government
Many of the thieves will doubtless retire from
the halls of Congress to find themselves con-
signed to the cells of Penitentiaries, where
they justly belong. Five years will not elapse
before Ben. Butler will be the inmate of a
State prison, or wandering outcast from
society. Virtue will have her triumph and
that right early. The people of this country
are bound to be free-to rid themselves of
every form of dospotism.

Washburn and Donnelly.

In the House of Representatives, on Mon
day, Mr. Poland, !rom the select Committee
on the -Donnelly. investigation,
reported that Mr.. Washburns had withdrawn
all charges against Mr.: Donnelly of bribery
and corruption, and all charges affecting his
character and standing as u member, that Mr.
Washburn had raised the question that the
committee had no right to inquire into the
other charge affecting Mr.. Donnelly's history
before he became member; that he was not
the prosecutor, and would not undertake to
prove the truth of the charges; that Mr..
Donnelly had offered to prove the falsity Of
the charges and pay all the expenses Of the
witnesses, but that the committee took the
view that the actions of members before being
elected to Congress were not proper ques-
ton of parliamentary privilege; and that
Mr.. Washburn had rctracted what he had said
on the floor. The committee therefore asked
to be discharged from the further considera>
ton of the subject.
Mr.. Donnelly (the report having been rcad)
said he could not express the views he enter
tanned of it, because the gentleman from Hi
nois was not in the hall. He would, however,
call the attention of tho House and country
to tile fact that the gentleman had uncquiv-
ocaly retractcd so much of his charges as he
would be compelled either to retract or to
prove.
Messrs. Maynard, Burr and Poland object
ing to Mr.. Donnelly's proceeding with his re-
marks, the report was ordered to be printed
and rceoMnitted.

POLITICAL BREVITIES.

Thad Stevens, says the New York
Times las just had the pleasure Of Witness
ing a spectacle which he was, once anxious to
behold On the I'd of March, when impeach-
ment was introduced to the House, he cried,
(raising his finger over his head aud pointing
toward the Senate, 'lct nc see the recreGa't
who dares to tread back upon his steps and
vote on the other side. Point me out one
who 9dres do it, and you show me ono who
dares to be regarded as infamous by pcs
terity." We don't know how the spectacle
of Monday and Tuesday affected Mr.. Stevens
But when he saw the oldest and most dstin-
guished members of the Senate, the ablcst
lawyers in the body, the men who were the
founders of the Republican party, and are
now in its main pillars, pronouncinS against
impeachment, he must have felt how little
his threats had amounted to. He must have
become conscious shat there were some men
who spurncd his dietation and scorncd his
menaces.
The story that sold Grimes is dead" is
untrue. It is old Ben Wade that's gone !
The bluff old fellow sank to everlasting politi-
cal rest at Chicago. Kicked out Of the SEN
of Ohio, refused the Presidency by his own
colleagues in the Senate. and defeated in q
delegate convention "frcsh from the people"
Old Ben may be considered as poor old
horse turned out on the commons to die. The
defeat of Wade by the Convention, shows
that impeachment is regarded as farce, and
should be taken by such men as Butler and
Stevens as an evidence that the farce is becom-
ing insipid and tedious, and should be entirely
Withdrawn from the boards.
- Greeley is now for Grant, but he
wasn't when he wrote the following -
"More soldiers were uselessly slaughtered in
the late war through the blunders of drunken
officers, than by the bullets of the foe"
When the editor of the Tribune dealt Grant
this blow between the eyes, he was for Chase ];
but having gone over to Grant, We demand
to know whether the Tribune change has also
made Grant any less butcher or drunkard !
Will the Tribune answer this polite question
When Grants father appeared in the
Chicago Convention the band played "Hail
Columbia" and the delegates checred. The
old man then got up and said that he had not
done anything in particular, but the delegates
smothcrcd him with shouts of "You had
boy that is enough !'' Henceforth let it be
understood that any man who "had boy is
entitled to Hail Columbia and three times
three in Radical convention.
1t is said, with what truth we do not
know, that the expenses of the negro dele
gates to Chicago was paid out of the fund of
the Freedmen's Bureau. If The rumor be
true, it is of piece with much more of the
doing of the Radicals.

Internrating the Platform.

The Radical Editors of Missouri had a
meeting at St. Louis day or two after the
adjournment of the Chicago Convention.
They interpret the platform to mean uni
versal negro suffrage and negro equality, and
All who faithfully support a government
arc entitled to the ballot that the prejudice
of color, which denies just equality and civil
and political rights. is the blot on our nation
and the fruitful soil from which Democratic
votes are spontaneously produced. is there
fore the duty of every Radical to labor to
break down that prejudice at once, the shame
and peril of the Republic that as editors We
will strive to influence the Radical party to
give open and vigorous support to impartial
suffrage.
Every man who is in favor of the speedy
establishment of negro suffrage and negro
equality in all the states should vote for G rant
and Colfax. No man who is opposed to it
can conscientiously dose

RIOT IN WAsH1NGToN.-A negro riot
occurred in Washington city on Wednesday
night last, occasioned by the election of
Radical Mayor, which city paper thus
describes The negroes to the number of
5000 strong gathered together and marched
through the principal streets of the city,
hooting and yelling, the negro women crowd
ing tho sidewalks and encouraging the
demonstration. Forney made an inccndiary
address to the negroes from window of the
Chronicle office, melting them to vengeance
on the whites which had the effect to render
them perfectly uncomfortable. The police
were perfectly powerless, and the negroes
rushed along the streets with such fearful
taunts and abuse that the whites were cons
PEELED to oonfne themselves to their houses.
Bowen, the negro candidate for Mayor, also
made an address complimenting the negroes
on their capacity for selfgovernment. Two
white men were brutality murdered by the
infatuated negroes, and the house of one of
the judges of election completely guttsd.-
One of the men who was murdered was cut
with razor in front of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Office, on Pennsylvania avenue,
and his blood now dyes the pavement
