Radical Distrust of Grant.

the following paragraph from the organ of
Wendell Philips is significant:
1.-THE course of Radical members of Con-
gress In the coming session will have much
to do with Radical successes hereafter. They
have an opportunity Of getting possession of
the Government and debating its policy
That can be done by Immediately impeaching
President johnson and placing Ben. Wade in
the Presidential chair The effect of that meas
ure would be to place Radicals in every official
position, and keep them there the next four
years.
This clearly indicates, says the Lynchburg
Varginian, distrust of Gen. Grant-a fear
that he will not ''place Radicals in every posi-
ton, and keep them there for the next four
years. There is evidently growing feeling
Of uneasiness among the extreme Radicals in
regard to the policy which the incoming Presi-
ident will pursue, and we indulgeithe hope that
their fear is well founded. We do not believe
that Gen. Grant will administer the Govern
ment in the interest of Radicalism He has
never shown any particular sympathy for that
party, nor has he ever manifested vindictive
and harsh disposition towards the South
Should he adopt the Constitution for his guide
and eyince broad catholic and national spirit
in his administration doing equal justice to all
seetions--as we incline to believe he will, we
assure him in advance that he will have no
more earnest supporters anywhere than at the
South. Our people join most heartily in the
aspiration of General Grant for ''peace, 'and
will cooperate with him in any measures of
fairness calculated to secure it.

SALLY ANDERSON BEFORE MAYoR-HE
HOLDS HER FOR TRIAL-Saly Anderson, the
negro incendiary who was discharged by Judge
Underwood on Saturday, was arraigned before
the Mayor on yesterday The Mayor asked
her counsel Mr. Bundy) if he wished to prove
the indictment found in March last.
Mr.. Bundy admitted the Indictment but
wished to know by what authority she was be-
fore his Honor's court
The Mayor read the charge on which she was
convicted in the Henrico county court as the
authority for her being in that court
Mr.. Bundy aid he was perfectly willing to
admit that she had beed charged with that Of
fence, and that she had been tried by the oun-
ty court and convicted but the United States
circuit court had discharged her, and he con-
tended that he 1.-THE Mayor had no right to go
beyond the records of the United States court.
The Constitution of the United States express
ly states that no person shall be twice put in
jeopardy Of life or limb for the same offence -
This woman, having been put in jeopardy once
it is not constitutional to place her on trial for
arson again. But he did not rest her case on
this point alone, but on the fourteenth amend
ment of the Constitution of the United States
Under this amendment Sally Anderson had been
court, and he again said the Mayor had no right
to go behind its records. He did not say that
there is no competent court in the State to try
her, for the General commanding has the pow
or to appoint military commission by which
she could be tried but before no city or State
court could she be brought, and he therefore
demanded her unconditional release
The Mayor said that while he was obliged to,
and did, recognize tho laws Of the United States
and the decision Of the Federal courts, yet he
held that the decision Of Judge Underwood in
this case only affected the legality Of the court
that tried Sally Anderson, as the Judge did not
decide upon the guilt or innocence of the prison
er. In regard to her being put in jeopardy of
her life, he would say, if she had not been tried
by competent court her life was not in eop,
ardy, and he would therefore hold her for trial
before a competent court of Henrico uuder the
indictment found against her in March. She
therefore be remanded to jail to await requisi-
ton from the Henrico authorities.
Mr.. Bundy asked how long his Honor would
hold the prisoner to await this requisiton; to
which the Mayor replied that he would hold
her four or five days.
We presume the county authorities will not
receive or make application for this woman
Were she to be arraigned again for the same
offence the prosecutor would be obliged to
maintain the unconsttutionaity of our courts,
thereby affirming, SO far as that would do it,
the decision of Judge Underwood, which we
presume not one man-snae man-in a million
is willing to do.-Richmond Dispatch, Dec.

The Lynchburg Neacs says that there never
was time in our history when ''leap in the
dark would have been likely to result so inju-
riously and fatally as now and we repeat, that
our every movement should be as watchfully
and deliberately made, as if We walked amid
snares and traps that were thickly concealed to
destroy US. Our people should therefore, be
guarded and prudent in every expression they
venture in regard to public affairs-not that
they have not the free right Of thought and
speech, but because they can hardly Judge
what is best and wisest to be done, until the
immediate occasion arises to exact their decis
ion and demand their course OF behaviour
Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof D
We can at least be bold and outspokcn in this
resolve, to maintain at all hazards and at every
cost the honor and interests of our dearly loved
mother Virginia. But for the rest, while the
difficulties of the times and of our own condi>
ton. gather and darken with every moment,
we should practise prudence and presence OF
mind. He is the truest and bravest patriot
who retains it through all the sore trials and
ordeals through which we may be required to
pass; and doubtless our tempers will be sharp
ly exercised, and our hearts subjected to trials
yet inexperienced by the future that now lies
Immediately before US. But if we would serve
our State and promote our own best interest,
we must watch and consider every movement
We make, and be guided in all things by calm
and mature reflection. Presence of mind is the
great desideratum; and the best service we can
render, under contingencies that may possibly
arise, is expressed in the noble verse of Milton,
They also serve who Onlv stand and wait
