The Radicals are as good at spending
money as the habitues Of Judge Hun
ter's court. In all their conventions
they are after the dimes, and every where
they have the power, take especial pains
to pay one another fat salaries. They
promise good things and give evil things.
They pirate about liberty, equality and
economy, aud grind the faces Of the poor,
black and white, as much as they dare.
In all the States they are now ignorAntly

crimes now proposed to be committed
without delay, elaboration, reason or
excuse, by body of men, whom it would
be a compliment to designate as merely
infamous. II Mr.. Johnson submits to
all this, he will deserve to be execrated,
as too cowardly to take the personal risk
and incur the penalty Of observing his
sworn oath, as be has indicated to be his
duty in his own published and official
views. And the Supreme Court can only
save itself from the scorn Of the world,
by declaring uncOnstitulionafand utterly
setting at naught the whole monsirous

TIE Arkansas Radical convention is
keen after the spoils. The vulture can
not hide its nature. Having an eye to
plumber, an ordinance hes been adopted
levying tax ofone-half of one per cent
on the taxable property of the State.
This the Little Rock Gazette, on exam
ination of the Auditors books, estimates
at S43, 900, 900, and the tax will therefore
yield S2l5,0OO. CouHting the numbers
per diem and mileage of the members at
ordinary rates the expenses would not
exceed $50, 900, which one-eighth Of one
per cent would pay. This is big slice
to cut out Of the resources Of State
whose convention is asking Of Congress
in the same breath relief for its suffering
poor, and whose people have already
been impoverished, by all causes, almost
to he last degree. What a glorious thinG
IL is to live under afree government and
enjoy such blessings Of liberty

The Republican New York Times
shrinks back in disdain and indignation
from the progress of revolutionary usur-
patton in Congress. With great justice
and truth it says of the establishment of
a majority rule for the Supreme Court:
No more significant commentary on
the reconstruction legislation-no more
startling illustration of the unscrupu-
lousness which actuates the Radical lead
ers-can be conceived than that which
this affair affords. The cowardice, as
well as the bravado of guilt, is stamped
upon its face. 1t shows an utter absence
Of confidence in the constitutional eff
cacy of the measures which are applica-
BILE to the South, and an utter want of
moral courage to uphold the principles
that are involved.
Certain it is the present Congress is
too conscious of the illegally of its &C
ton to dare to trust any decision upon
it to an honest court as organized under
the Constitution. And so determined is
it to perpetuate its usurpatioDs, right or
wrong, that it will stop at nothing to bar
the possibility of interference. Thus
shall we have an interference with the
judicial, such as we have with the exec
utive power. But however the Prssi-
dent may shrink or stand firm to his
imperative duty, we are satisA ed the SUI
preme Court will set aside such Congress
sional action, as in conflict with the
Constitution, and we are inclined to
think that, too, by unanimous decision
in which there will be no single dissent
ing voice.

RuNGLIHG LEGISLATION.

Three reconstruction bills have here
tofore passed Congress, and every time
with a promise that thereby the country
would be restored to perfect good order
and prosperity. A fourth is now before
Congress, which, if adopted, would prove
equally inefficient for any good. No
measures outside of the Constitution"
while there remains any pretence of OBJ
serving it, can end the strifes and return
the prosperity of the country. There are
but two ways to that result-one is a
return to the Constitution, the other plain
despotism. Not the interests of the South
alone are involved in this tremendous
issue, but those of the North as WELL
Will the people of the North stand still
and see two constitutional departments
of the government utterly Frustrated and
destroyed, and not take BY force their
destinies into their own hands ? Will
they submit to this iniquitous usurpa-
ton ? If SO, we pray that we may have
an end of the matter at once. Down
with the Constitution, away with the
forms and pretenceS of liberty, fling out
the flag of the Brigadier over every city
and hamlet and cottage of the land, raj Sc
the standard of the American Monarch
and give him a standing army of half a
million and navy able to stretch rib
bon into every port of Europe. Then
shall we have peace at home, and such
prosperity as may be found in govern
neut strong enough to encourage the
pursuits of industry. Viue la empereur.

yearly increased by half million of
white men from abroad, and that ma
jority gaining In proportion from year
to year until the colored men will
finally be but a handful In this coun-
try; and yet we hear the prejudices o.
the white race appealed TO to crush
this other race, aud to prevent it from
rising to supremacy and power. Sir,
there is nothing noble, there is moth
ing generous, there is nothing lovely,
IN that policy or that appeal.
How does that principle com
pare with ours? We are standing
upon the broad platform of the
Declaration of Independence, that
all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Greater with
certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness" We say that
these rights are not given by laws;
are not given by the Constitution !;
but they are the gift of God to every
man born into the world. Oh, Sir,
how glorious IS this great principle
compared with the inhuman-I might
say acknowledgement to the .preju-
dice of race against race; the endeavor
further to excite the strong against
the weak; the endeavor further to
deprive the weak of their rights Of
protection against the strong?
