respects he has taken care to keep himself
below any such suspicion as this.
The great objection which the radical fac
ton have to Ben Wade, the comprehensive
reason which may be said to include all the
others operating to set them against him as
a prospective incumbent of the executive
Office, is the strong probability looming mp
that, along with other etfronteries, he will
have the efrontery to be president in fact as
well as in name, the supreme executive func-
tionary of the United States, and not mere
antomaton, servile tool to do the bidding
of radical revolutionary compittee. Thus
it becomes more clear than ever that the true
quarrel of this faction has been with the
presidential Office rather than with the presi-
dent They have a vague but painful pre-
monition that the real presidency of Wade, or
Grant, or any body else, will be fatal TO them.
Their fears in this particular are not ground
less. They must destroy the presidential
Office, and rid themselves utterly of a supreme
executive, or they must themselves be polti-
cally destroyed.

BEN WADE A BURDEN.

The Preacher, describing the decrepitude,
dolor and timidity of the days of superannua-
ton. says that then even the grasshopper
shall be burden. The Republican party is
falling upon like days. The imagination of
its leaders begins to people every path with
perils. They do not know which to dread
the more, the consequences of their audacity
if they advance in the course which it was
criminal blunder to adopt, or of their pru-
dence if they try to obtain safer ground by
retracing their steps. The fact is that they
are thrown into violent pangs of indigestion
by long accumulating mass of political sins.
In this state of weakness, their stomachs are
ready to revolt at even so savory a morsel of
incarnate radicalism as "honest old Ben
Wade" The very anticipation of him as Vice
President, and much more as President, is
nauseous to Horace Greeley, and some other
Journalists whose radical purity cannot be
questioned. and hardly equalled except by
honest old Bens." The New York Tribune,
for example, insinuates that it would be
wiser to let Andrew johnson serve out his
term than to make his removal the stepping
stone for Ben Wade to secure his nomination
by the Chicago convention to either the presi-
dency or the vice presidency. "Impeach-
ment would be a doubtful expedient," says
the same journal, if the consequent replace
ment of johnson with Wade as acting Presi-
dent should result in such anomination This
sentiment is echoed by the Chicago Tribune,
which says: Few persons, we imagine,
would seriously propose to elect Mr.. Wade as
President. He has neither the culture, the
temper, the education, nor the judgment re-
quisite for the position. No profane attesta-
ton will convince any one that he is in any
way fitted for ii.
Why this sudden suspicion that the Repub-
lican party would be swapping a witch for
the devil in substituting Wade for Johnson
1t does not surprise US, to be sure. The
CRESCENT has predicted that the party would
! at length be sick of the Wade branch, as well
as the Grant branch, of the presidential
scheme which lay at the bottom of the i'm
parchment conspiracy Apart from the exag-
gerated. fears incident to approximation,
there are some logical reasons why the radi-
cal faction, which have worked with so
frenzied determination to hold supreme
power at Washington, should feel decided
unpleasantness at the prospect of Ben.
Wade's accession to the executive Office. But
his vulgar and indecent eagerness to get the
place is not among there reasons. Nor do
they object to him because his radicalism is
too little or too much, too considerate or toe
rash, too unctuous and cody, or too pro-
fame and wicked; or because he is suspected
of cherishing furtive magnanimity toward:
the hapless people of the South, and a latent
catholcity of patriotism that embraces justice
for all sections, classes, races aud colors, and
the welfare and prosperity of all. Thought
less and careless as he may be in many

CENT, in all respects, is paper which we offer
as creditable to the literature and journalistic
enterprise of New Orleans. Filled with the
latest news by telegraph and mail, with in
teresting local events, with a miscellany of
literary contributions original and selected,
and with the latest financial and commercial
intelligence, it is a paper which we
offer to the public with entire con-
hdence in its being acceptable. The
Sunday CRESCENT being carefully and leisureIy
read, is paper the advantages of advertising
in which are so apparent that nothing further
on the subject need be said.

In Tennessee more than hundred thou
sand white men are disfranchised, and the
State is governed by minority composed of
seventy thousand blacks and twenty thou
sand whites. In Louisiana about thirty thou
sand whites were DISTINGUISHED by General
Sheridan; and the State was carried, at the
recent election, by minority composed of a
few thousand whites, and more than fifty
thousand blacks. The radical papers say that
because some blacks voted with the Demo-
Gratis and some whites with the Republicans,
the idea of negro supremacy is unfounded.
The truth is that even whilst several thou
sand blacks did vote with the whites, the
latter were yet unable to overcome the inn
mense majority which Sheridan had piled up
against them on the registry. The fact re-
mains that the Democratic vote is essentially
white, and the radical vote essentially black.
Whether or not it will remain so is another
question.

their Race Course, on the 18th inst Those
who recall the delights of the last Jockey
