GRANT AND THE RADICALS General Grant
does not want to be President He has been
forced into his present position as candidate
by the Honorable Robespierre Butler, Grab
all Forney, Representative Washburne and
other radicals through their voracious greed
for public plumber. Now is the time for
Grant to rise to the moral dignity of Chief
Justice Chase and decline the radical nomina-
ton altogether. He now holds splendid
position, the head Of the army, position alike
honorable, lucrative and permanent. That
should be power and rank enough to satisfy
the ambition Of any man. IF elected to the
Presidency bis power will depart in four years
(if not shortened by the process of impeach-
ment and, perhaps, his well earned fame and
glory be extinguished forever. Therefore, let
General Grant, like an honorable, unselfsh
man, cut himself adrift from the piratical radi-
cal crew who are using him as q tool for their
own plundering purposes and decline the nomi-
nation Cor thA Presidennv.

The Situation In Europc-Peace or War.
In the HERALD Of yesterday we published
couple of telegrams-one from Paris and one
from Berlin-which strangely contradict each
other. The Berlin telegram informs us that
Prussia has taken the initiative in the proposed
general disarmament, and that by command of
the King the landaoehr Is to be considerably
reduced. The Paris telegram is Of quite an
opposite character. Marshal Mel officially re-
ports on the Chassepot rife. II Is declared by
him to be the best irearm in existence. The
entire infantry Of France have been supplied
with the weapon, and the gratifying intelli-
gence is communicated to the French people
that the guns are being manufactured at the
rate of one thousand six hundred day The
question is thus very naturally raised. is it
to be peace or war? England, as we learned
two days ago, has rendered her advice to the
various Powers to the effect that the time had
come when general disarmament had become
desirable. Prussia, with magnanimity and a
promptitude which are entitled to all praise,
has set the example France, we see, is still
busy with her war preparations; but 1t will
not surprise us if France in day or two fol-
lows the example of Prussia. These huge
war preparations are crushing out the life of
the people. Emigration in Germany and even
in France is in consequence becoming a pas
sion. The people are sick of this incessant
war cry, and 1t may be taken for granted that
five have not an immediate war we shall have
o general disarmament. If France does not
discontinue this immense war preparation the
peace speeches Of the Emperor and his Minis
tiers will cease to have any value. We must
now have proof of peaceful intentions in some
thing more substantial than words, otherwise
we shall continue to believe that war is pro-
liability. AS, however, there is no existing
complication which can reasonably be construed
into casus deVi, we are willing to believe
that war will not disturb Europe for the pres
ent year.

Thurlow Weed and the Impeachment Bribery
Ring.

IhuriOW Woed ana the impeachment Bribery
Ring.
Before Robespierre Buffers investigating
committee on the impeachment Thurlow
Weed, as States evidence, has disclosed some
very curious and momentous information
touching the existence and operations of q
gang of outsiders in the capacity of lobby
ring for the purchase of three or four Sena-
tors votes for the acquittal of Andrew Johnson.
From Weeds testimony 1t appears that such
a ring was formed, and that he, as the very
man for the job, was chosen to direct the
movements of the holy alliance that the ALI
ance embraced such men, actively or passively,
as Collector Smythe, Collector Shook, Hugh
Hastings, Sunset Cox, General A. w. Adams,
Charles W. Wooley and Thurlow Weed; that
Weed was the general-in-chief and wooley
the man of capital Of the league that Wooley
appeared on the field with some twenty thou
sand dollars cash, for the disbursement of
which he has failed to render satisfactory
account to Butler that he is consequently
held as prisoner by the House as q refrac-
tory witness, and that even Weed has failed to
give any information touching the mystery in
volved in the disposition of this aforesaid sum
of twenty thousand dollars.
These are the facts 30 far developed Butler
and his committee are still at work digging for
more but whether they find or fail to find
any more will depend very much upon Wooley.
The presumption il that standing upon his
dignity and reserved rights, he will hold out to
the end of this session Of Congress. Weed
however, though pumped pretty thoroughly by
Butler, was we are inclined to think, not
pumped dry. We suspect that he can still
throw flood Of light upon the subject, and
that If the truth were known it would appear
that no Senator was bought by this immacu-
late ring; but that IL wooley's money was ad-
vanced for the purchase Of Senators It was
pocketed at Isome halfway house and is gone
beyond redemption. The hint upon which
this ring acted was, doubtless, furnished by a
copperhead journal Of this city In its propo-
siton to raise fund Of ten millions for the
bribery Of the Senate but that the leading
copperheads desired the acquittal Of Johnson
we do not believe. They were committed to
his defence; but they desired his removal and
the fuss and the confusion which cold Ben
Wade" in the dispsnsation Of the spoils would
most certainly have raised in the republican
camp. At all events, Thurlow Weed is now
in position, we believe, to clear up all this
mystery connected with the disappearance of
Wooley's twenty thousand, and he ought to
come out with his reserved facts and "sta-
tistics" on the subject as the shortest method
Of clearing himself of his connection with the
known or unknown Jeremy bidders of this
alleged Weed and Wooley impeachment bribery
ring.

The Impeachers Impcached.

Although impeachment has gone by the
board, the Congressional investigation into
charges OF bribery and corruption should not
be allowed to drop. The Honorable Robes
pierre Butler has laid hands upon one wooley,
and that unlucky individual should be re-
quired to divulge all he knows about this
alleged bribery business. Congress should
also call from oil parts of the country wit
nesses who know anything about this matter.
There Is General Steedman ready to be called
to the stand and testify in regard to an offer
a radical Senator made to him about that
Senator'S vote. Let us have more from Colonel
Edmund Cooper in the direction his knowledge
extends. Others in the secrets of these in
trigues are ready to make a clean breast of
1t. Let all these charges of corruption be
opened up, and sort of coroner's inquest
held over the remains of the radicals. or
what Is left Of them after the defeat of i'm
parchment No doubt the most astounding
developments will follow thorough raking up
and overhauling of the jobs Of the radicals in
Congress for few years past. The comedy
of the Presidents impeachment might well be
followed by the serious melodrama of the
'Tmpeachers Impeached." Let the Honor
able Robespierre Butler call in his witnesses.

dead weight. or worse than that, upon the ad-

dead weight. or worse than that, upon the ad-
ministration ~
But there are other urgent reasons az re-
CARDS both Mr.. johnson personally and the
welfare of the country why the Cabinet should
be changed now. The violent and revolu-
tionary conduct Of the radicals under the lead
OF the Hon. Robespierre Butler, Bingham,
Boutwell,, Thad Stevens and the rest of the
Jacobins has made their party odious and
sowed the seeds Of disruption. The conserva-
tive men Of the once great republican party
have been chatting sorely for some time past
under the dictation and lash Of these bold and
INSCRIPTIONS leaders. They submitted even
when their souls revolted, for the sake Of their
party. But the atrocious revolutionary scheme
to depose the President on such absurd charges
as were made up in the impeachment trial
went beyond the limit of forbearance, and the
'ablest men Of the party revolted. They would
not see gross injustice done and the country
disgraced to crafty the maiignity of few
men or for assumed party purposes. Chief
Justice Chase, who is the sblest and was the
most prominent man of the republican party,
would not soil the robes of his high Office to
please these Jacobin leaders. Nor would
those other able men, Senators Fessenden,
Trumbull, Henderson, Grimes and the rest
violate their oaths for party purposes. What
is the consequence These statesmen,
in whom is comprised the intellect
of the party, have been virtually read
out Of the radical republican church.
In numbers they are weak, it is true, but
in intellect and influence they are powerful.
They represent more than the democrats do
the great mass of the conservative people.
The radicals will never forgive them, and
prominent as they are they will never get the
support of that faction again.. Here, then, is Mr..
Johnson's opportunity to break down radical
power and to rally round his administration,
for theshort time it has to exist, all the conserva-
tive elements of the country. Let him make
new Cabinet of such mon as these or their
friends irrespective Of old party Affiliations, in
which the greatest talent would be concen-
trated. Such Cabinet would have the re-
spect of the country and would soop get inau-
ence enough in Congress to neutralize the
power of the Jacobin faction. The old demo-
Gratis are at sea and have neither the leaders
they require nor platform to suit the changed
state of political affairs 1t is the very point
of time to form mighty conservative party
that would carry the next Presidential election
and the elections for Congress, and Mr.. John
son has it in his power to successfully initiate
a movement to that end by proper construc-
ton of new Cabinet We hope he has be-
come wise enough by experience not to let
this opportunity escape, but will act promptly
and with decision.
