Radical Plans for the Future.


The radicals are now committed to policy
of the future from which there is no possibility
of recedng. The removal Of Mr.. Johnson
being settled on, the programme upon which
they are to retain power is arranged in due
order. What is this programme and what
will be its results? When President Johnson
is lost out of sight, sent back to Tennessee,
and Old Ben Wade sits in the chair Of the
lamented Lincoln" in the White House, the
tool rather than the leader of an unscrupu-
lous faction, the radicals must do something to
keep up the excitement which impeachment
and reconstruction have created, or the party
must fall into inanity and the people will begin
to canvass with calm and criticsing judgment,
its past infamous policy and conduct. This
would never do. 1t would be dangerous, if
Contemplate as this impeachment business is,
it has served for the time to keep the public
mind diverted from schemes at the bottom
more dangerous to the future of the country,
and when il is over it must become necessary
to adopt new policy and raise up whirl-
while the ruin of our republican form of gov
eminent is being more surely effected by the
plotting Jacobins in Congress.
They will represent that in the removal Of
johnson the prosperity fthe country is secured;
that the laws of the United States have been
vindicated-the constitution having been legis-
lated out of existence long ago; and they will
endeavor to make their party popular by using
the national banks and the railroad interests
without limit for that purpose. BY initiating
the currency and flooding the land with paper
at the rate of about two hundred millions a
year they expect to create an unreal prosperity
as nimsy and as treacherous as the crust over
a volcano. In the citation thus brought about it
is expected that the revolutionary plans of the
radicals will be covered up, and that the coun-
try will be allowed to drift into the CGsarian
despotism which they are preparing forit. Such
is the policy of the future which the radical
managers of Congress-with Old Thad Stevens
wagging his finger in the front rank-have
laid down. But what of the consequences? A
terrible day of reckoning will surely come, not
only to this revolutionary faction, but to the
people who are beguied into the notion that an
inflated currency and monstrous national bank
| system and a temporary plethora OF paper
money mean national prosperity. The delri-
sion may last for time, but the people will
wake up to find themselves in the midst Of a
| fearful financial revusion, and perchance with
out national credit, without government
and without liberty.

or blown from the lannon's mouth, the con-
quest and occupation of the country would add
but small glory and less wealth to the British
crown. The inhabitants are poor and miser-
able in the extreme. Grass of poor and
sometimes poisonous character, fuel in small
quantities, and wretchedly lean cattle are all
the supplies which the country has yet offered
to the army The villages are of the meanest
possible description, and towns are nowhere.
The monarch himself, according to our CORE
spondent seems to have relapsed into nomadic
life, deeming it at once the most comfortable
and the most secure. Sir Samuel Baker does
indeed speak of part of the country which ls
richer in agricultural wealth; but that part has
not yet been reached by the expeditionary forces,
and it remains to be seen whether o teeming
soil and moist atmosphere are compatible
with European life. That the expedition will
accomplish its main object-that of liberating
the prisoners (unless they are previously muir
dered) and of furnishing the son of Solomon,
and Emperor by the grace of God, there can
be no doubt. But how soon or at what cost OF
life and treasure who can tell? II they are
not successful in accomplishing their purpose
by dash the rains will be upon them, the hol-
lows on the high tablelands will become 80
many lakes, the ravines and mountain passes
so many rolling torrents, and from communica-
ton with their base of operations on the lower
grounds and with the sea they will be effectu-
ally cut of, and cut off for months in success
sion. If the expedition is not crowned with
immediate success it will not surprise us to
hear of hasty retreat to the sea. End, how
ever, as this expedition may, whether it be
soon or whether it be late, one important
result will flow from tive shall know more of
the people, of the resources and of the pros
poets of that portion of the African Continent.
Abyssinia will no longer be an unknown land.

visit took place few years since-the nrst
attended with pleasing associations-and now
her eldest son, who may in this catalogue
be regarded as King, stands on the SOIL OF
Ireland, with his young wife on one side and
the important vote of the House of Commons
on the Church question on the other.
War, rapine, confscation, religious dissen-
sion, the death penalty, transportation and in
voluntary exile have failed to subdue Ireland,
and the Prince meets to-day, after an English
rule extending over six hundred and ninety
eight years, in Ireland the embers of a smoul-
dering rebellion and the roads crowded with
emigrants flying to the United States-a land
which holds in its government the democratic
balance of mediation between himself and his
future subjects, from which they have received
twenty -four millions of pounds sterling in the
past twenty-five years, and to which they may
have to look in the end for their political
future.
Next after American democracy ranks the
Princess of Wales as an agent Of regeneration
for Ireland During Easter week her Royal
Highness will no doubt visit the plain of Clon-
tart, near Dublin, where King Brian Boroimhe
routed her ancestors and countrymen, the
Danes, in the year 1914, after battle which
endured from Good Friday to Easter Sunday,
when the Irish monarch was slain. The Irish
people nourish tradition to the effect that
the Mortimer will return and claim the whole
island. There is now splendid moment for
its realization. Let Queen Victoria assign the
government rule of Ireland to the Princess OF
Wales, and when her husband ascends the
throne of England let his wife be proclaimed
Queen of Ireland, saving "existing interests
and inviting Danish immigration. This may
accomplish the desired end and "Pocat0
Hibernia" be secured, reversing the assertion
of the British writer of Queen Elizabeth's day
| to the effect that "Satan did not show the
island of Ireland to the Saviour to tempt him
| as Beelzebub had reserved that country fo
his own special uses to the end of time.

the pathos and humor OF Charles Dickens by reading
"The Old Mans Tale of the Queer Client" "Oid

with effectiveness that Dickens himself would admire
and might envy. The trial scene, particularly, al
