THE RADICAL GAME IN THE PRESI
DENTAL ELECTION.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Charleston Courier takes the same view
this paper has steadily expressed 10 regard
TO the policy of the Grant Radical-, and
the necessity Of thwarting it by the most
vigilant care TO preserve peace and order
in the South. Says he:
Congress leaves Washington under a
more threatening aspect Of affairs than has
existed at any time since the end Of the
war. There is great excitement both
North and Sonth, and there is serious ap-
prehension of collisions South. The
Democrats North and South are more IN
accord with each other than in 1860. Some
OF the more sagacious Of the Northern
Democrats are uneasy, lest imprudent
members of their party, both North and
South, may give capital 10 the Repubti-
cans The great game Of the Republicans
Is 10 alarm the North into the support oi
Grant, 10y representing fevolulion IA Im-
mincnt at the South.
Conservative men breathe freer since the
failure Of the bil 10 distribute arms 10 the
Governors Of the different States. This
proposition created intense feeling. II j.
considered practically a. proposition to
arm the blacks South, and leave the whites
unarmed. Il was opposed by General
4 Grants special friends. Ielegrams were
! received from leading democrats IN the
| Northwest that IL was creating Intense lecl
| ing among the Democrats there. Fortu
nately il failed. But its failure a. mor'

REACTION AMONG THE GERMANS,

Among the gratifying signs of a sweep
ing popular reaction may be mentioned
the change of the Germans from extrava-
CANT Radicalism to liberal and reasonable
views. The Radical Washington cores
pondent of the Cincinnati POlkSblaH, has
lately made the painful discovery" that
the great majority of the Germans are
strict adherents of the old Democracy.
He says "this circumstance is the more to
be regretted because the Germans at Wash
ington are mostly Well-educated people,
who possess in a high degree all the quail
fcations which make them such useful
element in a new country like ours"
We have always been of the opinion that
the Germans, as body, are an eminently
conservative, steady race, and that their
momentary extravaganza as Radical par
tisans Is altogether at variance with their
true character. In returning to the Demo-
cratic fold they only reaflrm a political
creed which was their own for a quarter of
a century, and which better than any other
answered all their desires, and was more
in harmony with their natural instincts than
the professions of any other political party.
The POtk8bLdtPs correspondent, ignorant as
he seems TO be of the political antecedents
of the Germans in the United States, Is so
puzzled by the position of his countrymen
at the capital that he looks for an eXplana-
tion of the circumstance where nobody but
himself would probably try TO find it. lie
says "it is matter of daily experience in
Germany that the inhabitants of all the
smaller capitals are distinguished by their
want of character in regard to poiitaCal
IL. Al. n f, fIapA-
selves Just 80 much with the ruling classes
as they stick to the old traditions thereof
IL this were the true cause Of the changed
political complexion of the Germans at
Washington, every one of them would ape
Butler and Stevens rather than their OPP
ponents, for there the ruling class for the
last six or seven years has been these Rad
| icals ullras and certainly not the Demo
| Gratis. The truth il, the Germans ut Wash
inCton have seen good deal clearer into
| the designs of the reYolutionIsts than those
At n greater distance from the center of the
government. The Radical leaders among
The Germans have never permitted the
| great masses of their Western COuntrymen
| to see the real schemes of the demagogues
| TO whom they have been sold out. Docu-
! ments, by which the iniquity of the J AGO.
bin directory was brought to light, and
those wiCh justified the policy of the Exc
/ Cutive, were invariably suppressed; their
frauds concealed their swindling opera
/ tions denied, and their tyrannical meas
ures excused or approved. Wherever the
Germans had an opportunity to examine
both sides of q question they always repu'
| dated Radicalism and its doctrines. This
explains the mystery which seems 30
strange to the PoiksJlaifs correspondent,
and as he admits that the Washington Ger
mans belong to the best educated class, we
have no doubt that all their countrymen
will soon return to the only organization
to which their instincts and their interests
| lead them,

Cool and impndent it is, in the face Of
the funding bill voted for by all the Re
puhlicans in the House snd nearly all in
the Senate, 10 hear the cry Of "feruiia-
uon." The funding bill not only changes
the interest on the 6ye-twenty bonds, but
reduces it from six TO four and four and a
half per cent. Equally cool is the cry Of
reputation in the face Of the vote and IN
structions in the House Of Representatives
to tax the coupons Of the United States
bonds ten per cent. These Radicals must
think the people all fools If they suppose,
in the face Of such votes, that reading men
can be humbugged into their support. The
only reputation the public desire is the
repudiation Of the Radical party-a party

WILL HE DO IT%

The Nashville Union and Dispatch Of
Sunday, has information that it believes
reliable, that Gov. BroWnlOw would send
an additional message to the Legislature,
permitting them TO act in regard to enfrah-
chising the white people Of the State as
they may think proper. We do not know
whether its information is correct, but if 30,
and the Legislature shall consent to take
immediate action in the premises, we can
promise the State government hearty and
cordial support in all legitimate measures
from those about TO be enfranchised, and
although their political principles will re-
main unchanged, we shall do all in our
power TO restore the era of good-feeling
which of right ought to exist between hon
orable political opponents. Less than this
we ought not to do, more we can not do

A PENNsYLVANIAN REPRESENT
ING FLORIDA.


TIE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Express writes as follows:
Mr.. G. w. Hamilton, the &c. B." Repre-
sentive from Florida, who was so anxious
10 signalize himself on his entrance into
The House by reviving the impeachment of
the President, was discharged few weeks
ago, from the Veteran Reserve Corps, OF
which he was Second Lieutenant, serving
in Florida under the orders Of the Freed
mems Bureau. He was paid by Col. Pot
ter, Paymaster, United States army, in this
city, the sum of $442, in May last, for his
travel, pay and subsistence from Florida to
Philadelphia. He is probably, therefore,
a Philadelphia, and no more entitled to
represent Florida than he is Rhode Island.
If he is not Philadelphian, by what right
does ne draw S442 from the treasury for
travel, pay, etc, to Philadelphia ?
The law authorizes the payment of travel, ,
pay and subsistence to discharged officers
from the place of discharge to their resi-
dences. If Philadelphia be not Mr.. Ham
ilton's residence, he should at once refund
this SAP to the Paymaster. If it be his
residence, how can he claim mileage from
Florida to Washington, as a member OF
Congress.
The truth ia, the whole history Of these
"carpekbaggers is a disgrace to themselves
and the faction which brought them into
political existence. OF the numerous out
RACES perpetrated on the people of the
South, and indirectly upon the whole peo-
pie, by the present Congress, no one Is
more fragrant or more unjustifable than the
"carpet-bag" outrage. May the day soon
arrive when, expelled from their seats in
the Capitol, by an indignant people, the
"carpet-baggers" and their aiders and abet,
tors shall call upon the mountains to cover
them and flee for refuge to the holes and
corners Of the earth, without "travel pay
or subsistence, mileage or per diem.

ToRNADo.-A tornado passed, on Sun
day, within about four miles of the city,
uprooting trees, destroying fences and corn,
aud taking of the roof Of the barn at the
Eperandeu place. Its track could be
traced for mile, and seemed to be about
thirty-Gye feet wide In some places il
took the limbs of one side Of the trees
without disturbing the trunks, and when it
crossed fences it laid down gap Of a few
panels only. Ii was witnessed by several
gentlemen, and had the appearance Of a
very dark cloud Branches Of trees were
carried several hundred feet into the air
and the roof Of the barn, which was lifted
of, rafters and all, was lodged in a tree

''The Democracy of the State, and ofthe

whole Board of Common C0uncilmen, for
contempt Of Judge Barnard, Of the .Su-

had been in the hands Of the Sheriff sew
eral days, bat they could not be found .
By precOncerted arrangement, the Council
men met quietly at their rooms in the
City Hall to-day, and proceeded to business
They had Just passed resolution adj
hitting to seats the five members 10 whom
.hey heretofore denied that right, and by
that denial brought themselves into con
tempt of the order of Judge Barnard, when
the deputies Of the Sheriff appeared in
their midst and declared them all under
arrest. A motion to adjourn was carried 4,
and they then formed in line and, headed
by the Sheriff and his deputies, marched
TO the Supreme Court The court had =,
however adjourned, when the Sheriff put
them each under oath to appear next Tues
day, and they dispersed. The whole affair

BrIckIayer's sfrIke-EIght Hour sys.

New YORK, August 22.-At meeting
Of the Bricklayers last night, reports were
made showing that So, 600 have been ex-
pended in carrying on the strike. A reso-
luton to appoint a committee to travel
through the country and to collect such
sums as the different Trades Unions may
be disposed TO contribute to the strike and
to prevent men froia coming to the city
was adopted.
There is a little unpleasantness at the
Springfield armory and workshops. About
two months ago an order came from Wash
ingtou making eight hours a days work ;
since that time the men have been working
on that system, with the understanding that
their pay was to continue without reduc-
ton on Thursday, however, Col. Benton
told the men, informally, that he had in
structions from headquarters that their
wages would be cut down proportionately !,
that all who wished could work ten hours
and receive the old pay for the same. a., This
was an unlocked for turn in affairs, aud all
hands quit as usual ut 1 O'clock, with the
determination to work only eight hours and
take the chances of receiving full pay.
