NOT WHAT THEY WANTED.

A Grant and Colfax Club endeavored
90 draw from the Hon. Charles Francis
Adams some token of adherence to their
party. OF the answer sent to the note
addressed to him, the Philadelphia
Enquirer says:
alt is pleasant 10 observe that Mr..
Adams declares that he remains " faithful
to the great principles Of lhe Declaration
of l776 (siRned by his grandfather and the
supremacy OF the Union" and to the doc
trine Of protection FROM assaults fFOm
without as we'll as within" These are
principles which any body may have, and
vet be neutral, and nothing Is 70 be I'M
derstood from them except that Dir,
Adams used the art diplomatic TO eonceal
HE thoughts. or course this IL not what
the Grant and Colfax Club wanted. No.
withstanding his immense fatigues, Mr..
Adams could, If he had been able 10 write
A half dozen words more, have clesrly de-
fined his position"
There is a charming simplicity in this

WILL GRANT WITHDRAW.

There are reasons to believe that the
rumors current in Washington few
days since, that Gen. Grant was medita-
ting withdrawal as the Radical candidate
for the residency, are not merely sem
sationaL At first thought, it would
seem incredible that the party leaders, in
whose hands he is entirely, would permit
it But one of Grants chief character
istics Is his stubborness, and another is
his indispOsition to make fight without
overwhelming odds in his favor His
career from Fort DOnelson to the APP
Pomatox apple tree, shows that che was
firm chiefly in refusing battle until he
felt able TO win. lie would yield to
drink he would yield to tobacco he
would yield to the opportunities of favored
Spectators and army sharks and drive
his Jewish fellow-oitizens from his milf
tary' lines but he would never yield bis
consent to nose on the enemy until he
outnumbered him. lie sees very clearly,
now, that he heads column daily
weakened by desertion, and that recruits
can neither be drafted nor cOnscripted
and it would not be surprising if he
showed no stomach for the contest in
November. IIe can't delay to dig canals
around that work He is compelled to
march straight up to the time, and it is

sRECONsTRUCTTON" WAS REVOLT

~ The Radicals talk much of Gen. Blair's
letter denouncing the reconstruction
laws, and advocating their notification
by the Democratic party when. it shall
assume, next March, the executive con-
troll of the government Waving the
question whether such q policy, under
the circumstances, is advisable or states
manlike, we would ask If it would be 8
whit more revolutionary than the action
Of the Thirty-ninth Congress with re-
gard to the restoration policy of Presi-
dent Johnson When that body met IN
December, 1865, new governments had
been instituted in every State which had
declared itself withdrawn from the Union.
Governors were in Office. Legislatures
were in session. Senators and Repre-
sentatives had been elected to Congress,
and were in Washington ready to assume
their duties. PacificatiOn and restora-
ton were complete. SLoyal" men, TO use
the phrase of the day, were in authority
in the State governments. Gen. Grant
and Secretary Stanton had approved and
assisted in the measures which perfected
this work. 1t was after the plan promul-
gated by Mr.. Lincoln, 1t had healed the
divisions of the war. The Southern peO-
pie had accepted it. The Northern peo-
Pile had aequiesced In the midst of this
peace and promise for the future, the
reconstruction" junta of Congress was
instituted, and forthwith the work of
revolutionary demolition commenced.
Since then bitterness and strife has pre-
vailed. For three years, the country
has been virtually at war again. The
destruction of restoration" in 1866
was as much a revolution as the seccs-
sion of 1861.

LATEST KILOGRAMS.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES:
Louisiana Legislature. etc. etc.

NEW ORLEANS, August I5.--Au act reg
uIating public education in Louisians, hss
been made the special order in the Legis-
lature for Friday. Section first provides
that schools shall be open to all children
between the ages of six and twenty-one
years, without distinction of race or color,
or regard to previous condition.
The bill provides for Board Of Educa-
ton to consist of the Lieutenant-G Governor
and six persons to be appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
The State Superintendent alone is to be
elected by the directors of the six general
districts into which the State is TO be divi-
ded. The Superintendent is empowered
to decide without appeal all controversy
or dispute arising under this law. IL also
invests him with other extraordinary
powers. 1t requires all teachers TO iucui-
cate loyalty TO the nationSl government and
kindness to all men regardless Of race or
color.
Section FIVE of the chapter provides for
the compulsory attendance of all children
between the ages of eight and fourteen,
without fixed employment, in such schools
as may be provided by the Board of Edu-
cation, at the expense of the parents or
guardians, or in case of poverty, at the ex-
pense Of the school fund at the discretion
of the board. The act provides that in
addition to the poll-tax special tax Of
one-fourih of one per cent. be levied on all
taxable property in the State.
The second section Of the concluding
chapter gives the State Superintendent
right to interpret all doubtful provisions OF
this law.
An informal meeting was held last night
in the government office between promi-
nent members of both parties, when all
conceded that the danger of collision was
imminent. Democratic gentlemen ex-
pressed the opinion that the best and only
way to secure peace was to stop the system
of aggressive and oppressive legislation
now in progress; that the Democratic and
conservative element of the country ex-
pected to accomplish nothing except in a
legal and constitutional way, but that it
was unwise and improper for the State gov
eminent to defy the wishes Of the people
that if the Governor would throw himself
upon the people they would sustain him,
and no resort 10 force would be necessary
for the preservation of peace.
Gov. Warmoth stated that he was au-
thorized to say in behalf of the Republi-
cans that there was nothing in reason that
the Republicans can do or eoncede that
will not be done to secure harmony. He
promised that measures of party policy
obnoxious to citizens shall be modified, and
said they were earnest in their desire to
secure the welfare Of the people and to Sc
cure peace and order.
Another meeting will be held in few
days, when it is believed some practical
illustration Of mutual harmony will be
presented.

18th inst publishes the following card
Coming from gentlemen, most Of whom
served in the Federal army and who have

testimony they bear as to the peaeeable

Giles 10 a limited extent, that the Democrat
ic club or party Of this place, mediate and
counsel resistance 10 the Law, the State
government, etc, and intend voting wheth-
er they have the right by law or not. We
can state that we were all compromising
Union men from the beginning of the war,
and several of us fought for the Federal
cause, and, since the close of the war CO..
operated with the Radical or Republican
party as it is called. But in our opinion
the time has come when the success Of that
party can no longer be desired, aud We are
impressed with the belief that the
peace, happiness and prosperity Of
the country demand the election of
the Democratic ticket We unhesi-
taiingly adopt this vieE and heartily CO.
operate with those who are seeking to
secure the election of that ticket by lawful
and pesceable means. We have carefully
observed the conduct Of ex-Rebels and
conservative Union meH, who are acting
with and form strong element Of the
Democratic party, and we are free 10 say
that nothing has been said or done at shy
Of their meetings, that would tend TO dis
turb the peace or quiet Of our State or CON-

WHAT DOES THE ARMY COST
THE PEOPLE?

This Is tender subject with Radicals.
They know what the popular indignation
must be when their useless and enormous
waste of public money is understood. Hence
they conceal the facts The Hon. S. J. Til
den, of New York, in a speech made at
Albany in March last, says: "Yen have
seen kilograms announcing reduction Of
army expenses. / took some pains TO as
certain the truth. 81 am able to inform you
from authentic data that the monthly pay
ments at the Treasury for army expenses
up 10 the beginning Of the present month
exceed twelve millions assert they are
now, to-day, running at the rate Of $50
million per annum." Mind, 100 million
per annum in time Of peace-this vast sum
TO be raised from the people by taxation 10
keep up the Radical party. Mind also
that the Democrat says thirty-three million
per annum is enough. Think Of it, tax
payers-l50 millions for one year of Radi-
cal rule-in one branch Of expense-the
army alone; coo millions in four years.
