RAJITNC on THE ANOrNTED

The chief editor Of the New York m
dependent. a strict and model Radical
iournal-poitico religious and altogether
fanatic and extreme, has been in Wash
ington since the commencement of the
impeachment trial The columns of that
paper, for several years, have teemed
with laudations of Chief Justice Chase
as the greatest Of statesmen, and the
representative man of the advanced Rad
ical ideas, and as worthy of being re-
garded by his political admirers as above
all competition for the nomination as
their candidate for the Presidency But
when its idol was gowned with the err
mine and robes Of the Chief Justice, he
fell, in its estimation, from his high
estate, and his impartiality and fairness
in the Impeachment proceedings has de-
monstrated his utter unftness as a JacO-
bin leader; and so Mr. Theodore Tilton,
his whilom worshipper thus whistles him
down the wind
For years past, we have earnestly and
often advocated Mr.. Chase's nomination
10 the Presidency. This advocacy now
ends. Without crediting the fable of the
scsndalmongers who say that Mr.. Chase
has abandoned the party Of which he was
lately the chief ornament, and has practi-
cally Joined the Democracy, we are never
theless constrained TO say that the Repub-
lican party can no longer with phOpriety
look 10 Mr.. Chase 10 be one of its leaders,
and least of all TO be its chief A short
time ago, we thought that the greatest gift
which this journal could offer to the COM
ing Chicago Convention was Mr.. Chase's
illustrious name. We now have reason to
believe that MFR. Chase would not accept
the Republican nomination, even if il were
rendered. We have equal reason to believe,
also, that he would accept the Democratic
nomination, if it could be rendered on a
platform not inconsistent with his we'll
known views of negro suffrage. No one
who knows the man will expect him TO
change, modify or compromise his lifelong
aud Inersdicable convictions in favor of
liberty, Justice and political equality.
Solemnly aud earnestly he holds now, "a
he has held always, TO the civil and politi-
cal rights Of all American citizens, without
distinction of color and (let us add, also,)
without distinction Of sex. Nor have we
any doubt that he will remain, in his own
Judgment, sacredly true to those great and
high convictions during the rest OF his life.
But, as the fact is now evident that Mr..
Chase no longer links his political future
with the Republican party, we feel that in
the conduct of a journal which bias long
been conspiCuously known as one of his
unvarying supporters, we have no right
any longer to solicit the Republican party
to uniurl at their head the banner OF his
name.

A SENSATION.


A lengthy telegram to the New York
Herald Of Wednesday, of which the press
dispatches have spoken, gives the revela-
ton Of a programme of the Radical lead
ers looking to the speedy contamination of
the revolutionary schemes, which have
been some time in progress. That paper
deems it worth of a double loaded edito-
rial
The objects Of the revolutionists are de-
clared 10 be the entire overthrow Of con-
stitutional republican government, as a
failure, proved 10 be such by The war Of the
rebellion, and the substitution in its place
of so-called Government of the Peo-
pie" under the delusive Jacobin cry Of
Liberty and Equality The means and
process by which this end is 10 be accom-
plished are act forth as follows:
The conviction and removal Of Andrew
johnson, and the installation Of Ben. Wade
10 the Presidency for three or four months
before the commencement Of the next
Presidential term.
The election Of Grant as President and
Ben. Wade as Vice President and Presi-
dent Of the Senate, by the aid Of martial
law in doubtful States, il necessary.
The virtual abolition of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, by stripping the
judiciary Of the power TO pass upon the
conetitutionality Of any act Of Congress re-
lating TO reconstruction or to the business
Of the government.
The extension Of the term Of Office of the
President. Grant, the Vice President Wade.
and the present United States Senate to ten
years from the LIST Of March, 1869, on the
plea that a constantly recurring change in
the government is harmful in the existing
condition Of the country and was one Of
the main causes Of the late war Of the re-
bellion.
The unlimited imitation of the currency.
through the fundamentally of the national
banks, 80 as TO throw upon the country an
enormous amount Of paper money, by
means Of which the people are 10 be kept
in q state OF excitement and good humor,
and 10 be amused and made satisfied with
an apparent prosperity.
This Is the end and aim Of the Radical
conspiracy, 90 which impeachment is only
one Of the preliminary steps. The dicta-
torship Of Grant will be nominal only, aud
the real power will be in the Senate, with
Ben Wade at has head. The appointments
made by him during his brief term of
power will be- carefully selected. from the
tools Of the conspiralors, and thepatronage
and influence Of tie Office holders will stand
At the back Of the revolutionary commune.
Grant will not have the power, IL be had
the disposition, 70 change single feature

STEVENS, "AWTUL CONDITION

Old Thaddeus Stevens, by all odds the
boldest and frankest Of the bad men who
are in power, is the author Of one of the
articles of impeachment on which the
President is arraigned By the rules
adopted for the government of the trial,
he will probably be prevented from de-
liveringa fierce speech he has prepared
on that article, and in order to get his
speech on the desks Of the Senators he is
engaged in an effort TO have the House of
Representatives-the impeaching body
hold an extra session 20 hear him and
the House will doubtless grant his re-
quest A few days since he declared to
the Senate as follows
al confess that | feel in that awful con-
dition that owe IL TO myself and the conn
try 10 give the reasons why insisted, with
what ia called obstinacy, on having that
article introduced"
The malevolent old man, too feeble to
bear an active part in the prosecution
he has been a chief instrument IN lnshga~
ting, has been forced to sit and see his
associates make an impotent failure in
sustaining the accusations they have
brought; and he perceives that, whether
two-thirds of the Senate shall prove venal
enough to convict OF not, that unless more
7lausibility can be given to the charge,
the reason and justice of the Ameris
can people will condemn conviction as
an outrage, and hold its perpetrators in
adherence; and in his extremity, would
fain "unpack his heart with words
Not II scintilla Of evidence was submitted
by the managers 20 prove the charge in
the ninth article, and it is in reality
abandoned but in his desperation, he
would drag it before the court and make
it the occasion to Justify himself for com-
plicity in the great iniquity.

INRELATION to Foster Blodgett, who was
sworn on the 9th inst, for the prosecution
in the impeachment trial, and testified that
he had been unlawfully removed from office
as postmaster in Georgia, it is explained
that Blodgett was indicted for perjury in
the United States District Court-the
charge being that, having served in the
Rebel army he had afterward taken the
test oath The Postmaster General, there
fore, it is said, put the Office in charge of a
special agent, pending the trial of Blodgett,
and neglected TO report the fact, thus severe
~ fracturing the tenure of office law
