Radical Legislation for the Past Three


During the three years which have elapsed
since the war was ended the country he's lad
specimen OF legislation from the radical
majority such as few nations in past history
have been compelled to endure. Not alone
have unconstitutional laws been enacted, and
the constitution iteelf ostantatiously trampled
upon, but the whole force OF the party ap-
pearcd to be aimed at the purpose Of destroy
ing the commerce OF the whole country by
every method of embarrassment which they
could devise. No people were ever taxed as
We are taxed when the government was on a
peace footing. The internal revenue records
show tha. the mnutest article of consumption
as well as the highest luxury has 10 bear some
portion Of the 'public expenditure" the
poorest as we'll as The richest being compelled
to carry the burden. But is il really to meet
the public expenditure that these taxes are
enforced! Ii ii were no one would complain.
No one did complain, in fact, when there were
heavy war expenses 10 be paid. No people
in the world submitted SO cheerfully to taxi
lion during the war as the American people.
But we are now three years at peace-at least
such peace "a the atrocious faction in control
OF the government will permit us 10 enjoy in
the face of military despotsm imposed upon
ten States of the Union. The taxes enforced
from all classes-and which OF course weigh
most heavily upon The poor and the
working classes-are not requisite for the
support Of the government, as is pretended,
but for the support OF tie radical party. II is
to keep themselves in power that, with match
less etfrontery, this faction f,unts its corrup-
ton in the face Of the people, hurries on upon
its reckless course, and keeps the tax collector
at every mans door, demanding portion of
the meal he lays before his children. II Is
VIGOROUSLY the most corrupt and reckless party
that ever hld predomnance in this country,
and we might stretch our imagination for a
parallel in even England or France during
their worst revolutionary times OF Rump Par
liaments or States Generals.
We look in van over the records OF the last
three years. radical legislation for anything
calculated to extend the liberties, to preserve
and foster the commerce, or to Tighten the
aud malice have been its prevailing features,
the former manifest d in the dealings of the
radicals with their schemes of impeachment,
in which they are startled by their own
shadow, and the lattor in their policy Of dis
iranchising tho white people Of the South and
placing that region under the control of bar
barous and cruei race.

MIR. Du Cha,Ilu,s Lectures.

The course of lectures which MIR. Du
Chaillu, the distinguished African explorer,
is delivering al Stsinway Hall is so interest
ing that we are not surprised at the large au-
diences attracted by it. The lecture OF We'd
nesday evening was particularly successful.
Its subjects were, "A Journey to the Cannibal
Country, Elephant Hunting, Serpents, Cape
Lopez and the Slave Barracoons The charts
and paintings with which the lecturer illus.
trated his discourse enhanced the interest of
his vivid descriptions of personal adventure
and strange discoveries. Two points which he
made are very suggestive to all who are
studying the actual condition and the probable
future of the African race in this
country. Mr.. Du Chaillu clearly show ed
that their negro brethren in Africa are
the most determined advocates of slavery
of fare, illustrative of the tastes of cpl
cures in the cannibal country, where corpse
that has been buried for five or six days is
considered as relishing as "high game" is with
US; women, rs among ourselves (but In a. car
niverous lighD, are regarded as tenderest,
lstlc girls as splendid, small boys as not bad
eating and old men rs tough. This queer bill Of
fare suggests what appeiites the Southern
blacks may exhibit when, left to themselves
and deprived Of the superior influences 10
which they have hitherto been subjected, they
shall have relapsed into barbarism.
Mr.. Du Chaillu lectures tonight on The
Negro Tribes Of Equatorial Africa, Types and
IF ind lauc
duce many facts and arguments Of deep inte-
rest and importance, not only to ethnologis!s,
but to practical American politicians.
In this connection we m y remark tina! not
only the lectures OF Mr.. Du Chaillu on Equa-
torial Africi, bat those OF Mr.. Fletcher on
Brazil and of Mr. Squier on Peru, have been
remarkably successful, and attest the increasing
interest which our American public very nasu J
rally takes in the tho reslls Of explorations OF
countries which seem daily becoming less
remote in this age of rapid ntercOmmuncatlon
by means OF steam and The electric telegraph.
Some America traveller should give rs a
course Of lectures on Abyssinia. Mr.. Risley
ought to have lecured on Japan when he came
here with his troop OF acrobas; and perhaps
Mr. Anson Burlngame may not deem it be-
meath his new dignity as Minister Plenipoten-
tary of the Chinese Emperor TO favor us with
lectures on China when h, shall reach New
York. AT present it looks as If winter and the
lectlring season were likely to last long enough
for any enterprising American to visit Abyss-
MIA, orJapan, or China, gather his materials for
lectures and return in time to deliver them
before tardy spring shall have arrived.

The Rival Opcrn Houses.

Although the contcnding opera troupes met
this week for the first time in direct conflict,
yet the horrible condition Of the weather
placed the combatants in pretty much tho same
situation as Washington's army at Valley
Forge and chilled the enthusiasm of the
public. The present week concludes the bril-
liant season Of La Grange and Brignol at the
Academy, and strakosch will soon evacuate
Irving place, leaving the one hundred and
ninety-nine and half stockholders to shift for
themselves. What they will do with the Cata-
combs is a matter Of extreme doubt to the
public and to themselves. by turning the

A Small business.

The frauds and peculations in the Revenue
Department are q matter Of public no.ori i,ty.
So boldly has the government been robbed by
its own employees that the income from the tax
on distilled spirits has almost wholly disap-
pearcd and its pretended enforcement has
become mere farce. A Congressional commit
tee, of which Congressman Hulburd is the head,
was appointed year or so ago to investigate
these matters AMI TO devise some means Of
protecting the Treasury from The operations Of

Inn pending Destruction Of the Republican
Party.

Politically, the effect Of the great impeach-
tate that reaction of the public mind against
the radical party that had alrea iy set in so
positively in some Stltes. Already radicals
themselves see that If they base their impeach-
ment articles on Mr.. Stanton's late acts they
will be beaten-that they cannot sustain their
case on these points. Shall they impeach the
President for removing Stanton I" But Stanton
is not removed. Shall it be for the effort to
remove him, which is merely the effort to put
a great case before the courts Where is the
man Of any party who in his cooler moments
does not jus ify thiss Indeed, this is mainly
what the radicals fear just now; for the incl
dents Of the case Of Lorenzo Tnom Is indicate
on their part only an anxiety to avoid bring

Court They want to try impeachm snt first

have no case in the recent acts and that they
must 60 back to other acts and take broa der
ground, and the doing this will convince the
public Of two Points-that Congress has just
made a grand excitement without sufficient
cause, and that it failed in its duty before in
not impeaching the President for the acts on

American Commcrcc-The Construction Of
Iron Steamships.

In yesterdays HERALD the attention Of
American capitalists and American ship
builders was called TO the utter prostration of
American commerce, with the recommendation
that if they did not desire the carrying trade of
the world to dcvovc upon foreign corporations
remedial action must at once be commenced.
To more satisfactorily demonstrate that the
impression that this country does not contain
the shipyards, engine establishments and en-;
gineering skill to construct large and im.
proved screw steamships is very err
roneous, VIC give this morning, in another
column, from our correspondent at Wilmington,
Delaware, a detailed description of two very
large and we'll known establishments Of that
place, where for years iron steamships Of large
tonnage have been constructed and are now
plying, not only in the seas contiguous to the
United States, but steam along the waters Of
distant lands. These shops are equal in capa-
city to any character Of steamship work, and
give in evidence Of what they can do the sue
cessful results of former trials. We shall not
rest here, but continue the description Of other
engineering works that have already made
themselves famous in the production Of iron
steamships, both reliable and speedy.
