agined than described. They were all
so frozen together that they had to be
separated with prizes and c.owbars.
The Captain stated in the journal as
follows: 1--WE made the island on the
llth, at clock pm. Not caring to run
for Tilt Cove, we hove to sea for the
night: About IL o'clock hove round and
ran in for the bay, and at 6 o'clock am.
the vessel ran ashore in snow storm"
Nothing like this has occurred in New
Foundland within the memory of the
Oldest people here. There was, believe,
a man named Gushue lost his vessel on
the Horse islands about sixty years since,
in the month of April, when all those
who got ashore perished from cold and
hunger. The skeletons Of the men were
found the following summer, and some
papers giving an account of where they
were lost and how they died.
Where the Queen was lost is only
about three miles from the land. and a
man from the shore saw light several
times on the island, and told different
persons of it, but they would not believe
him. If there had been any reason 10
suppose there were parties there, there
would have been no difficulty in getting
them off. The island is very seldom
visited except in the summer season.

disfranchsed as well as the surviving
rebels enfranchised We dislike the
prospect Shakespeare says that bloody

turn to plague tn inventor" Why
here's rebellion added to treason. The
Ku.Klux Klan may now rejoice. They
are but BrownloY's bloody instruc.
tions, returned to plague th' inventor"
and therefore, according to Horace Gree.
ley and Shakespeare, eminently proper.
But the Tribune, growing more rankly
reasonable at every word, concludes as
follows:
But we cannot limit our vision by the
horizon of Tennessee. We look also over
Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, where
the blacks are under the feet of rebels
and sympathizers with rebellion. We.
ardently desire to raise and to shield
them. We are impelled, therefore, to
advocate principles which suffice for them

hold government by the whole people
bene6cent and safe. We would not re.
strict power to our party if we could. We
submit to the disfranchisement of rebels
as a temporary expedient; but we pro-
test against its perpetuity, in the interest
alike of white and black. We are con 4.
ident that half the people of Tennessee
cannot govern that State so wisely and
so well as the whole could. Not in the
interest of class, nor in Difference to
the passion of the hour, but in obedience
to profound and long settled convic-
tions, do we plead for universal amnesty
with impartial suffrage"
Words fail US to indicate the intense
disgust which must ELL the soul of every
loyal man at the perusal of such abomin-
able doctrines as these. Can man be
loyal who says: "We would not restrict
power to our own party if we could ?"
Not in Tennessee, certainly, and she, as
the senior editors spiritual adviser has
said, :" is in the vanguard of progress
and at the head of the civilization of
the world" More of the reading out
process is sadly needed in the loyal par
ty, and we look to our reverend and
venerable Governor to attend to this mat
ter at once.- Chattanooga Press and

The pspth Of Radical Inf.mY.

The following was a special dispatch
from Chicago to the New York CONNER
cidl Advertiser
"CH1CAGo, May 20.-The knowledge
that Senator Wade's nomination as Vice
President will prevent the success of the
pending negotiations for the votes of two
Republican Senators for conviction, who
voted against the eleventh article, has
virtually withdrawn him from the con-
test.
Can it be possible that so indecent an
arrangement was under consideration at
Washington, or Chicago, or elsewhere
Who were the parties to so shameless d
proceeding2 Who the Senators that
would allow themselves to be approached,
much less enter into q negotiation on the
subject ?
But that is not worse than those two
special dispatches, which we clipped from
the Cincinnati Times, of Saturday:
WASHINGTON, May %. 2 p.m.-It is
understood that Senator Williams is pre-
pairing a new article Of impeachment,
which will be discussed informally by the
Senators, and if q majority OF two thirds
and more are favorable to it, it will be
submitted to the House, to DE presented
in the usual form.
ut is also said that Sumner is prepar-
ing q new article with view to submit
ting it to the House managers"
The idea that Senators, who are to try
the President on articles charging him
with high crimes and nisdemeanors,
should themselves suggest, prepare and
get up the articles, is so monsuous an
outragson decency, that but for the ap-
pearance Of the dispatches in q Grant
and Colfax organ, we could not have be
lieved that such q monstrosity could be
hatched in even q Radicals brain.

The Radical Leaders Of 1860 and 1868
Contrasted.

From the Albany Argus. May 23.l
A moments glance at the present
situation of the Radical party will serve
to show the contrast between its oondi-
ton in 1860 and 1868 Among the con-
spicuous members of the Republican
Convention of 1860 were such men as
Francis P. Blair, William M. Evarts, and
host of others, embodying the talent
and respectability of the convention
majority of whom are now ranked among
the most decided opponents of the Radi-
Gals. In the Chicago Convention of that
year there were four prominent candi-
dates for the Presidential nomination
Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Bates. The
last act of Lincon's life was to originate
and adopt the policy of johnson. Bates
abandoned the present Radical organi-
zation before Lincoln died; Seward is
an active enemy of Radicalism, and if
there is one man in the United States
whom the Radicals of to day hate more
bitterly than Andrew Johnson, that man
is Salmon p. Chase. Then Chase, and
Trumbull, and Fessenden, and Grimes,
and Doolittle, and DIXON, and Stan
berry, and host Of other great names,
were in the ranks of the Republicans.
Now, they are either acting openly
with the Democracy, or are read out of
the Radical party by the hot heads who
control it. Nor is this all that is no.
ticeable. While the statesmen of the
Republican party have abandoned Rad
icalism, the vicious and treacherous ele
ments of the Democratic party have en-
tered its fold The party which became
too corrupt for Chase and Doolittle,
Bates and Evarts, has demonstrated its
affinity for Butler and Logan, Stanton
and Dan. Sickles The leaders of the
Radical party to day-the men who have
Grant in their keeping-were clamorous
for secession in 1860, and justified the
Southern States in resorting to arms to
repel the exercise of Federal power.
Now, Butler, Logan, Stanton and Dan.
Sickles are blatant Radical demagogues,
and are accorded the highest positions of
honor in the party that so recently dis
pised them. They take the places once
occupied by Seward, Chase, Trumbull,
Stanbery, and others like them.

The PARTY THAT WERE IN A HURRY TO
RY.-Richard James Branch and Oc-
tavia Binford (both colored), the parties
whom we mentioned in yesterdays paper
as having been arrested upon the charge
of conspiring together and fraudulently
obtaining from the clerk of the Hastings
Court license to solemnize marriage be-
tween said Branch and one Victoria Mills,
and Octavia also for swearing that the said
Victoria was twenty-one years of age, ap-
peared before the Mayor yesterday morn
ing. The evidence showed that Victoria
would not be twenty one until the coming
October, and that Octavia had sworn that
she (Victoria) was twenty-one, and upon
her oath had secured the license. The
family record in the Bible was produced,
in which it was stated that Victoria was
born September 20, 1916" Some further
testimony was introduced, proving that
Victoria had lived two weeks in Branch's
house, that he had sworn to marry her,
and that her mother, Sallie Mills, who had
brought the complaint, had said he might.
The defence desiring more witnesses,
the Mayor continued the case until Mon
day next, and required the accused to
give bail for their appearance at that time.

tlemen of Goochland county, and that the
goods had been found in the house inhab-
tied by Joe Clarke, Laura Cox, and about
two dozen other negroes, and that the two
named had been arrested, the others
escaping.
Yesterday they appeared before the
Mayor, the first to answer for stealing the
goods, and the other for receiving the
same knowing them to have been stolen.
A crowd Of witnesses were examined; af-
ter which the accused were committed to
await an indictment before the Hastings
Court,

THE LOYAL LEAGUE IMPORTING Me-
GRoEs.-The following is an extract from a
letter from prominent citizen of Frede-
rick, Md, to gentleman of this city:
"The negro Loyal League of this dis
trict has been called upon for one hundred
men to 60 to Richmond to do little
work for God as they express it. *
know that number of negro men have
disappeared suddenly in the last two or
three days from this place, and therefore
thought it best to notify you."
1t is not at all improbable that the draft
was duly honored, and that part, at
least, of Maryland's quota are now regis
tered as voters in Richmond. We say it
is not improbable; for it is we'll known
that every county within thirty miles
around Richmond has furnished the Capt.
tai with few negroes for purposes of re-
gistration; and some have, to our own
knowledge, come from q greater distance
"to do little work for God "-an express
sion easily rendered by those of the Hun
nicutt stripe. Agentleman brought into our
Office yesterday the names of three darkies
who live in Buckingham and registered in
Monroe Ward, and who boasted afterward
of the trick; and another has list of thirty
who live outside the corporate limits but
whose names appear on the city books.
These things should be investigated, and
doubtless will be when the revision takes
place.

When we called the assessors attention
to this remarkable discrepancy, he assured
US that he had called in person at every
habitable house in the ward; had made
diligent and searching inquiry for every
white and black man living on the premises; !;
had not only gone into the principal resi-
dences, but into kitchens, out-houses, &c.,
and taken down the name of every person
that he could learn slept in them. Every
body who knows Mr.. Giblin will be con-
vinced that man of his acknowledged
energy Of character and long acquaintance
with the people of that ward did not let
many taxpayers slip through his fingers.
The facts above stated confirm the sus-
picion we had that many negroes from the
country registered in Marshall Ward. This
can now be ascertained by obtaining cor
rect lists of the registered and the assessed
negroes, and setting the committees to
work hunting them up. Let copy of
these lists be posted at the county court
house, where the farmers can see them,
and make notes Of all who live in the
county and registered in the city.
