We decline to print the call, because it is
not responsibly signed. and because we
trust no such Convention is required. The
better part of those at the South who sup

secure peace and prosperity to the South,
and, to the whole country. We trust those
Efforts, heartily seconded by those of his
supporters, will prevail Atall events, let

Universal Sufrrare--DodgIng.

We asserted few days since that the
radical leaders did not dare establish uni
yersal manhood suffrage by constitutional
amendment, on any basis that would de-,
priye those leaders of the power to disfran-
chise large classes of rightful voters. The
events Of every day confirm the truth Of the
assertion. Senator Wilson, who represents
o state where thousands Of otherwise quail
fed voters are prescribed on account of
birthplace, has just declared for universal
suffrage to male negroes The leading rad
ical organ of Michigan declares for uniyer-
sal suffrage providing that congress shall
be invested with authority to limit suffrage
according to it's dissection And now the
Milwaukee Sentinel, which has been bel
lowing furiously for universal suffrage in
response TO our objection to partisan and
arbitrary tests, betray tho cloven feet, by
declaring that the tests referred to are
''simply tests of loyalty" which its own
party must apply
No man has ever claimed that criminals
should exercise the right Of suffrage; or that
open and avowed enemies of the govern
ment should be invited to take part in, its
administration. But no man WHO honestly
favors universal suffrage will claim for an
instant that criminals shall be prescribed as
such until after trial and conviction, or that
any political party on earth should be per
nnitted TO set up its own party standard Of
loyalty, and make itself an interpreter Of
the motives and inions Of open and
avowed friends Of the government.
Yes-the radicals want universal suffrage
not for mon or for women, but for radicals
of their own stripe. They want universal
suffrage not for tho people, but for such
portions OF the people as they in their par
tisan, proscriptive and despotic spirit may
choose to designate. They want universal
suffrage, not based on the inalienable right
of every man to voice in the government
but upon partiality ofa radical congress
And these noisy pretenders to progresswil
defeat every form Of proposal TO exten(
the suffrage which denies to themselves tht
precious privilege Of prescribing sucl
''tests of loyalty" as will defeat public opin
ion whenever they and the public opinion
d sagree.

ppIititaI.



The Now York Sun and the radical pa,
peFs generally ere opening a cowardly war
upon Gen. Sherman by urging: 1T Is not
necessary 10 fill the position Of General Of
the army fof the United States, whichwill
he yscaie by Grants Inauguration as
President These papers know very well
that unless prevented by Congress General
Grant will promote his tried and trusted
friend, Sherman, TO- the vacantplaeea The
law Of July, 1868, establishing the grade Of
General contemplated its permanency. In
this respect it differs from the law Of 1866
which revived the brevet rank of Lieuten-
ant General for Scott and provided that il
should not survive him. The President is
authorized by the law Of 1866 ''whenever
he shall deem II expedient 10 appoint by
aud with the advice and consent of the
Senate, General of the army Of the
United States, to be selected from among
those officers in the military service Of the
United States, most distinguished for cour-
age, skill and ability, who, being commits
stoned as General, may be authorized, un-
der the direction and during the pleasure
Of the President, to command the armies
Of the United States" To prevent Sher-
mans promotion Congress will have to re-
peal this law and thus abolish the grade of
General. And that would be an exhibition
Of petty spite, without an accompanying
sting for Sherman would still be ranking
officer of the army as Lieutenant General
and conceded its command. The Radicals
hate Sherman for his conservatism, and es-
pecially for his terms to Joe Johnston.
New England will never forget him or for
give him for the irony Of his Atlanta letter
Of July 80, 1864, to its agents in quest Of
negro substitutes for eastern 'ipatriots.
Said Sherman to these agents who had ap-
piled to him for aid in their work: "0n
applying to Gen. Webster at Nashville, he
will grant you pass through our lines to
those states, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippil and as have had considerable
experience in them l would suggest recruit
ing depots to be established at Macon and
Columbus, Miss, Selma, Montgomery and
Mobile, Ala, and Columbus, Milledgeyille
and Savanna, Ca. all of which were at
the time rebel strongholds No wonder
the Radicals dread grim old Teeumseh
Sherman in command of the Army, with
headquarters at Washington, as prescribed
by law, where he will be the Right Bower
Of the new President. They are just be-
ginning to discover that in electing Grant
to the Presidency as a party necessity, they
have incidentally brought another and faI
uglier elephant upon their hands. But

The Ultra Radical Movement Against

The exposure Of the ultra Radical scheme
to cheat Grant ont Of the Presidency and
give ii to Coliax puzzles and annoys the
smaller fry Of the Radical press. 1t has
completely upset the venerable sa9eIof Pin

CANT duandries, and knows not whether to
take the matter as serious truth or ema-
licious Joke. Others of his kidney are
equally.perplexod.i The UTICA Herald grave
ly observes. Seriously these democratic
operators act qs though they regarded Gen.
Grant as blind and senseless. They cast
their chaff before him, and put on tho airs
Of capters. Those birds are very foolish
that ore thus canght, These schemers
make themselves conspicuous, and fill the
air with their chaff. The trap which. they
set remains empty, and will continue
empty" .b.sf yiagI J.

Washington that the Radicals there are
