UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

WAsHRCTo Nov. II. - Secretary
Schoheld and Generals Candy and Howard,
were among the visitors to General Grant
this morning.
Several prominent Republicans now
here, had an interview with General Grant
since his return, when the subject Of
universal suffrage in all The States was
brought up, and the probability of the
passage Of 8 law by Congress at its next
session, establishing the principle through.
ont the country, was discussed. The
parties present say that Grant expressed
himself favorable to il, and there is no
doubt it will be brought forward as soon as
Congress meets.
The question of the settlement of the
Alabama claims continues TO be subject OF
considerable discussion in diplomatic cir
cles, and opinions are freely expressed that
Minister johnson il getting the whole sub
ject very much mixed up. Dissatisfaction
is openly expressed at the State Depart
ment with the course Mr.. johnson is pur-
suing, and your correspondent has reason 10
believe that already Secretary Seward is
thinking seriously of recalling the Ameri-
can Minister.

WHAT WILL GRANT DOE

The New York Journal Of Commerce ex-
presses the conviction that the Radical
party IS made up of material 50 iacougru-
Gus now, that it will be next to impossible
for il TO hold together for another four
years. As TO the President elect, the editor
says:
Gen. Grant is not a Radical, and we
have the very highest authority for saying
that it is his purpose TO separate himself
from the extremists and 10 rally round
him Il strong body of the better class of
citizens, who shall draw unto them cOu-
geoial allies from all quarters, and become,
a. they would deserve to be, the party Of
the country. He is also extremely anxious
to verify his party watchword, and to lead
the country at once to peace and renewed
prosperity. This is his purpose, and no
one eau deny that il is Il noble ambition
Not himself a politician, and with but
little experience or skill in civil life7 he
does not, as We think, at all realize the
difficulties in the way Of such success as he
covets. We do not say that be will fail,
for he h undOnbted pluck, aud, besides
four years OF patronage at command, he
will also have the advice and practical aid
Of some strong friends who do not usually
intermeddle with public affairs
He will, of course, be first fattered and
then roundly abused BY those whose alli-
ance he disdsins. If Sumner is left out in
the cold, according to the present pro
gramme, there will be heard at Washing
ton howl Of rage every time the wind is
in the East. If the South is treated
kindly and justly, as General Grant has
privately promised, and the measures of
reconstruction he has indicated as his
choice are adopted, he will soon be CHASED
by the Radicals of his party az Rebel
sympathiser,' bent on throwing away all
the fruits of the great national victory.
There is large class of politicians whore
sole test of a righteous peace is some form
of security for the permanent sscendency
of their party at the South. There can be
no rest to the land until that idea is aband-
oned; and if this concession is now made
by their chosen leader, be will be sligmat-
lied most unsparlngly as a traitor to their
cause"
La any event the Journal is sure she
will only be too glad when the hour comes
that will release him from his wearing
service, and transfer the heavy burdens and
responsibilities to the shoulders of bis law
full successor"

Juust before the Presidential election
Mr. Samuel Lapp and Mr.. Otto BrOhm,

The news Of the wager was kept pro-

one Of the German papers announced that
the bet would be carried into execution
at O. clock in the afternoon. The news

A Radical Postmaster Comes to Grief
How He Got the once, and the
Way he Run 1t,
From the Dubuqe iowa Herald, Nov ).
While the people ofIOwa, and especially
Of Cedar Falls, by maj GRITTY $40, were
voting on Tuesday to continue the Radi-
cal party in power, there was being un-
earthed case of Radical plundering
which has never been equalled in Iowa.
1t will be remembered that two years
ago, Perkins, the Postmaster at Cedar
Falls, resigned his Office in consequence
of his removal to Chicago
W. A. Mcclure, crippled soldier, who
served as lieutenant in Hayden's battery,
was appointed to the vacancy by Presi-
dent johnson. Against his confirmation
Peter Melendy, Senator Powers, and all
of the Radical fuglers brought all of their
influence, and the loyal majority of the
United States Senate refused to confirm
the appointment of Mr.. Mcclure, the
crippled soldier, and one Fred. Boehm-
Ter, loyal stay-at-home, was made Post.
master at Cedar Falls. Melendy, Chairs
man of the Radical State Committee, and
other loyal men of Cedar FAILS, were
happy Boehmler has paid his assess
ments regularly. How he obtained the
money has now been ascertained
On Tuesday Boehmler was arrested at
Cedar Falls on q charge of robbing the
mails Letters registered in his Office,
and reeeipted for by him, were stolen by
BOehmler. Registered letters were rare
" sent from the Office, although frequents
" deposited for the mails There is no
doubt of Boehmler's guilt, as some of
the missing letters were found hidden in
q wash-stand drawer by young lady
clerk employed in the office, and, IN fact,
he cOnfe~ses to having Systematically
pIundered the mails One man has lost
four registered packages, one of which
was found where hidden by Boehmler
after having distracted the contents, and
the loss in the four packages amounts to
$500 One letter from a man in California
to his wife, living at SWantoWn, Butler
county, including S35, was found in
Boehmler's possession. During the year
and half of his management of the POST
Office at Cedar Falls, Boehmler has been
systema tically stealing, and the amount
thousand dollars. A single letter found
in his possession, contained $500
OF course the entire community is
fearfully excited. His father is one Of
the oldest and most respected citizens of
Cedar Falls, and his family is regarded
with respect By all who know them.
Heretofore Fred. BOehmler has not been
known as unusually dishonest. He is
now developed as a frst.class scoundrel
and remarkably qualified for confrma
ton by a Radical Senate to any office
offering opportunities for larceny If the
President should prove SO dislOyal as TO
suggest his removal, the Senate would, of
course, refuse, and under the tenure.of-
office law, BOehmler would continue to
steal the letters of the people of Cedar
Falls.
Further developments will undoubted-
ly be made upon legal investigation
The loyal majority of $40 in Cedar
Falls ought to be willing to take the ben
eft of the exposure of their pet official
