E. TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 7. 1868.
Something for the Radical Impssehsrs to
Reflect Upon.


"Mack," in his last letter to the Gin
ciunati Commercial, recalls the follow
ing bit of history, which is specially
commended to the consideration of the
Radical impeachers;
This morning Forney gives US two
columns to show the parallel between
Andrew johnson and the Middle Age
Kings Of Europe; and inasmuch as he
quotes King James as one OF the Middle
Age Kings, it will be seen that he has
read Hallam to great advantage. He
makes the startling announcement that
"history repeats itself" Does it ever
occur to the historic John w. that history
may repeat itself in the fate of the court
that condemns Mr. johnson, as well as
in the fate OF Mr.. johnson, who is TO be
condemnedY And it is worthy Of note
Just here that there has been no excep-
ton to the rule that those who have as
sisted in the condem nation and punish
ment Of the heads Of European nations
have invariably come to grief, wherever
they have survived the frenzy and pas.
sion which their revolution created.
The fate OF the members Of the High
Court of ofImpeachment" which sent Louis
XVI to the scaffold is we'll known. But
perhaps the fittest parallel is net to be
drawn from the French revolution, but
from the English revolution, which de-
thronei and executed Charles l. They
had High Court of Impeachment then,
consisting of ffty-eight members. The
High Court OF Impeachment for the trial
of Andrew johnson consists of fifty-four
members. OF the iftyeight who signed
the death warrant of Charles Stuart,
thirty. seven survived that Common
wealth and lived to see the Restoration.
OF the thirty.seven, nine were executed,
twelve were imprisoned for the remainder
of their lives, eleven fed to escape pun
ishment, three we're pardoned or re-
leased, and the fate of two is left in doubt
The twenty-one who died before the
Restoration were attainted by Pariia-
mcnt
Cromwall was exhumed and hung;
and so we're several others who were the
chief instigators of the regicide. All
this was done, not to crafty any spirit of
revenge on the part of Charles ii but in
OBEDIENCE to popular demand for JUS
tice, which in times of commotion means
cruelty. The son of the murdered king
did his best to repress the vengeful spirit
of his subjects--so much so that Hume
speaks of him as a prince who favored
pardon and oblivion, and adds that it
was "pardon for his enemies and obliv-
ion for his friends" OF the estates of
the fifty eight regicides, thirty-fve we're
confscated by exclusion from the in
demnily bill of Charles III, twenty-one
were confscated by attainder, one was
restored by pardon, and the yearly in
come of the remaining one was confs-
Gated.
Let the fifty-four Senators who have
undertaken to sign A. Us political death
warrant refresh their memories little
with this historical fact, and read their
fate in that of the fifty-eight, who, in
1916, put the English king to death.
History repeats itself" does it2 Why
not in this particular have mentioned
as wella in others ?

The South Under Radical Domination.

From the Charleston Mercury
The States south of Mason and Dixon 8
line are neither more out nor more in
the so-called Union than they were on
the day after the surrender of General
Lee. We are denied admission, and the
denial will be accepted. The only two
States who have yet voted on the ques'
ton of Radical reconstruction have
promptly and decisively declined to ac-
cept it upon those terms. The end is no
nearer-the Union is still dissolved. The
Government at Washington, actuated by
passion and prejudice and reckless lust
of power, holds the States still at arm s
length from each other, aud still feeds
the feeling of mutual distrust, and adds
bitterness to bitterness.
1t is just as well, men of the North,
that you should understand now, as at any
other time, that the people of the South
ern States do not intend to be ruled by
negroes. If it is the purpose of the
United States Government to Regroize
the Southern States, they may as we'll
know now as any other time, that it has
to be done with the bayonet, and has to
be preserved with the bsyonet in all time
to come. The Southern people do not
intend to be mongreized, They prefer
the sword-this they can always compel.
The policy. of the. radical destructives
renders perpetual standing army in the
ten Southern States. The nineteenth
century, with all its bloody follies, will
have sunk in the grave of the past, and
radical reconstruction will not yet have
been accomplished. What crimes, what
upheavels of society and governments,
what destruction of national and indi-
vidual property il will effect, it is impos-
sible now distinctly to forsee. But that
this policy, if pursued will in one shape
or another evolve these calamities, there
is little room for doubt.
Earnestly solicitous as the Southern
people are in good faith to abide the re-
suit of unfavorable war, and to meet
fairly the issue of defeat, in yielding an
honest acquiescence to the promises
upon which the war was declared to be
fought by the United States Government
-"the preservation of the Union this
people will not debsse themselves under
negro rule; they viii not assume the
level of the negro.

Cen. Grant at shiloh and corintA.

When military blunders obtain the
name Of victories, and paper bulletins
take the place Of facts, and history stands
ready with mendacious pen to record the
deeds of heroes who never earned that
glorious title, the true man must stand
aside until the bowling is over. We hear
now of the hero Of Shiloh, or Pittsburg
Landing We even hear now of the
great hero Of Corinth
That Grant was not the hero Of Shiloh,
or Pittsburg Landing, will be shown by
Gen, Hallecks dispatch.
That General Grant was not in com
mand at all at Corinth, and therefore not
the hero he is represented to be, can be
shown also. Ia the order Of these
charges shall begin with the last first.
Anent Corinth. The military map of
that battlefield, published by the United
States Govern ment, and issued by the
War Department under Stanton's super
vision, has upon it the headquarters of all
the Generals in command, but no Grant.
His Dame does not appear at all there.
In the next place, after his noted i'm
beciity at Shiloh, number of Governors
Of the Western States assembled at Cairo
and demanded Of General Halleck that
he should be removed from his command,
which was done SO much for Corinth.
He was not in command there in any
capacity, for if he were there would be
some dispatch, order, or bulletin sent to
the War Department Is there any such 7
Consult any of the newspapers of April,
1862, and see if you can find them. That
Grant was not the head of Shiloh, or
Pittsburg Landing, this dispatch will
attest:

Hon. z. M. Stanton. Secretary Of War;
SIR: tits the unanimous opinion here
that Brigadier General w. L. Sherman
saved the fortune of the day on the 9Th,
and contributed largely to the glorious
victory ofthe 7th, and he was in the thick
est of the fight, in both days, having three
horses killed under him, and being wound
ed twice. l respectfully request that he
may be made Major General of Volun-
teers, to date from the 9th instant

mander- Chief, and his recommends
ton Of Geueral W. T. Sherman, who
saved the fortune of the day, who will
believe Grant2 Why, the hero Grant
was dismissed from his command of that
terrible day. The battle of Shiloh, by his
mismanagement, cost the Republic from
$4,000 to $4,000 men. If it had not been
for General 'Buells coming up with rein
forcements, and Sherman's genius, he
would have been cashiered.

Recovering Stolen Goods from Thief.

A day or two since we taunted the Re.
publicans with their intention to repeal
the Tenure Office act, as soon as they
shall have unseated President johnson
for his alleged violation of it. The
Tribune, not daring to disclaim the in
tention, attempts to justify it. We quote;
"If this we're true, the Republicans
would be simply reclaiming that whereof
treachery and theft had deprived them.
Mr.. Johnson has no more moral right to
WELD that patronage against the Repub-
licans than burglar who has broken into
your house has to shoot you with your
own revolver"
According to these felicitous illustra-
tions, the President is burglar" the
Federal patronage is revolver be-
longing to the Republican party, and the
impeachment trial a grapple to recover
the defensive weapon. None but per-
son who is cognizant of the views of the
Republican party could have described
them so well. The plain meaning, ex-
pressed without the Tribune's figures, is
that Congress impeaches the President
as means of clutching the Federal pa
tronage. And the foremost organ of
great moral ideas regards this as
justifable motive for so extraordinary
proceedingl
The certainty that the Tenure-of- flee
act will be Immediately repealed if Mr..
Johnson is convicted, proves that he isput
on trial for a sham offense. The law and
it's alleged violator will be sentenced in
the same breath. There is not repub-
!can in Washington who would not
laugh at you, if you should express
doubt whether Mr.. Wade, if he becomes
President, will be allowed to select new
Cabinet. There is fable of wood
man who in trimming tree at great
hight slashed his ak through the
branch on which he stood aud fell
with it to the ground. The i'm
peachers stand thus on the tenure.of-
Office law, and will hew it from the body
of the statutes if they succeed. After
Furnishing Mr.. johnson for looking over
the fence, they will take down the gates
and enable Mr.. Wade TO drive in whole
herd of cattle. The immediate repeal of
the tenure-of-ofice act after Mr.. johnson
is deposed, will be q significant commen-
tary on its propriety, and an odd illus
tratien of the justice Of the impeach-
ment-Nep York World.

Sectional Feelings.

Politically, sectional feeling originated
in Massachusetts she more than any
other State gloried and still glories in it.
Some of the other New England States
were short sighted enough to follow her
unfortunate lead, and out of this grew
our terrific civil war. Since the war, the
eTeu Of the people, even in New Eng
land appsaF 70 be opening, and they
begin TO appreciate the enormous evils
that this feeling has bronght apon our
country, and the imminent danger
of o disruption Of States at last
New England Radicals must dominate
or die. They would positively burst If
they could not be- allowed to rule. Now,
that the domination Of New England
Radicalism is on its last legs, is as sure
as that the sun will set tomorrow. But

laid till New England Radicalism is sub
merged beneath the mighty power Of the

Dsstitution in South Carolina.

We find in the Marion Crescent the
following communication, date LeGette' S
Mill, ten miles south of Marion Court
house, South Carolina, March 22d:
The destitution in this neighborhood
is alarming in the superlative degree,
and unless help comes from some source,
and that Immediately, and l know of
no other source that it can come from
but the government, half crop will
not be made, and starvation with
many is inevitable. The fact is
many are this moment without a morsel
of bread, but as yet have heard of but
one or two deaths caused by the same.
Ny barns and mills are haunted by day
and night; even wait for corn to come
in and be ground that they may get few
quarts of meal to carry home to their
starving families. The destitution may
be equally divided between the whites
and hlacks

Cannot be Saved.

There was only one way by which the
Radical party could have saved itself
from the popular condemnation which
has come upon it, and which will continue
to grow and increase to the end of the
chapter, and that way they refused, or
were senseless enough to repudiate.
1t was in the power of the Radical
leaders to have established their party, so
that, hereafter, it might have been an
honor, instead of disgrace, to be hailed
as one of the Radical band But it re-
quired something which does not seem to
constitute any part of their nature. 1t
demanded magnanimity.
At the close of the war, Immediately
upon the surrender of the Southern
generals, Grant aud Sherman saw this ;
but then were not Radicals-certsinly
not at that time. President johnson
saw it, and acted upon it till stopped by
the Radical leaders, who deliberately
chose the mean policy which they have
since so meanly pursued, and which has
brought more general distress upon our
whole people than the war itself, bad as
that was. The only good, ultimately,
that this course of the Radical leaders
will effect is the purging of the country
Of themselves; which is thing as GER
tain as that the nature of Americans is
diametrically the opposite of theirs.
Now, nothing can save the Radical
party, because their meanness, their
sefshness, their utter disregard of all
sacred obligation, and their base attempts
to destroy the Constitution, are all pa
tent to mankind, and none but men of
their own mean stamp will hereafter
applaud their wicked acts. The Radical
leaders will go down to posterity recorded
as the meanest body of men who ever yet
tried to administer public government
anywhere in this world. Every present,
and probably, every future, act will but
confirm the verdict which a disgusted
people has already pronounced.-PHts-
