GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY
THE SOUTHERN RADICALS.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer telegraphs that pa
per on the % ult as follows
Developments within the past few days
prove that Gen Grants friends are play
ing deep game for the Presidential
stake. 1t is charged that in the event of
a split in the Convention, and Chase
should be the candidate of the Radicals,
that Grants friends in Congress will not
allow the Southern States to be restored.
The probability is that under the recon
struction laws, all those States would
vote for Chase Such in effect was the
remarks made to-day by a prominent
friend of Gen. Grant. Thus it appears
the restoration of those States depends
solely upon the use that can be made of
them politically.
There is something in this statement
Mack writes from Washington to the
Cincinnati Commercial on the 9th ult
as follows.
81 stated in a former letter that unless
concessions were made to the Southern
Radicals in the Chicago Convention, they
would bolt the nomination, and set up for
themselves in the hope of throwing the
election into the House. This determina-
ton is becoming more apparent every day,
until it has occasioned no small degree of
alarm to the friends of Gen. Grant. One
of its results will be postponement of the
readmission of the Southern States until
after the Chicago nomination. Should the
reconstructed delegates refuse to acquiesce
in that nomination, the Rebel States will
not be readmitted in time to participate in
the work of casting the electoral vote, and
his bolt will therefore do them no good.
Meantime, an attempt will be made to
pacify them with an earnest" candidate
for Vice President-Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, in all probability. If they won't
be satisfied with that, they will be put out
of the convention altogether, on the ground
that, having as yet no voice in the electo-
raj college, they have no right to take
part in the choice of candidates. Between
the intention of General Grants friends to
nominate him without platform, and the
determination of some of the Radical
brethren to support no man who is not
pronounced Radical-with the disturbing
element of the Southern loyalists thrown
in-the indications are decidedly in favor
of lively time at Chicago. The Southern
Radicals have got it into their heads that
the Republican party of the North can't
exist without them, and they are deter
mined to make their Importance felt
wherever they go. Their minds will be
disabused on this point before long"

THE NEW YEAR.

This morning, (as we infer it is likely
to look at this writing-l0P. NJ Tues
day, } is cloudy, gloomy, and dreary. 1t
is the first of the new year 1868 Does
the dismal weather fifty typify the politi-
cal out look to an American citizen In
spite of all the hapless past, and the
many elements Of mischief that yet
environ us, we fain would hope not. We
fondly trust ere the bells ring in another
New Year 5 morn, the dark clouds, that
like pail overspread the land, will be
lifted, and there is reason for this faith.
Since wars dread alarums ased
three such occasions have come in the
cycle of Time and if wisdom and justice
had prevailed in our councils, the
chronicler would not now be called to
speak doubtingly of this question. But
alas for the prosperity of this people,
such has not been the case. What of
mischief civil war left undone, folly and
wickedness in the administration of gov
eminent have well nigh completed and
have wrought a ruin which it will re-
quire the exercise of the highest qualities
Of great and intelligent people to re-
triye. 1t is the confidence that the
American people are about to manifest
these qualities in a practical way, that
affords the light in which we are dis
posed to view the situation.
For nearly three years past the Rad
icals have held possession of the govern
ment In that time, they have done
more to weaken the stability of free inN
stitutions have made greater inroads
upon public and private liberty have
expended more public money uselessly !;
have imposed heavier taxes have done
greater damage to every social interest !;
have more thoroughly damaged the COM
munity than it was thought possible
they could do Not even the most skep>
teal in regard to the practicabiiity of
republican forms of government could
have believed, that with the preserva-
ton of the form, such and so many evils
could be done in so short time. Long
ere this it would have been supposed
that anarchy would have been in wild
triumph, or despotism securely seated
upon our necks
But it is not so. The virtue and in
telligence of the people, and their brave
patience, have brought us to the present
period. They will lead us ont of the
slough of Radical despond and it will be
before the chimes to which we now lis
ten shall herald 1869 Then we say
| take heart, and 90 to work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The attorneys
for plaintiffs, in the case of Smithson VS..
Stanton for false Imprisonment, have adj
dressed a letter to the Attorney General
urging a speedy trial. The lawyer on
Stanton's behalf seems little anxious TO
hasten the trial, while on the other side
the original letters will be sought by an
order of the court.
The case Of st. Louis, involving ques-
tons of international and statute laws as
regards abandoned lands, was taken to the
Supreme Court and will be brought up in
a few days. On the side of the plaintiffs
are Reverdy johnson, Simply and Carlisle,
and for the defendants Senator Drake and
Judge Hughes.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has issued a special circular concerning the
evidence of payment of tax on distilled
spirits, in which he says, the frequency
with which holders of spirits are called
upon to prove that taxes have been prop,
erly paid, renders it necessary that mer-
chaudise on which taxes have been paid
shall be particularly,des in collectors
receipts, and that the department here
have prepared blanks for the purpose I'M
til these blanks can be forwarded to coll
iectOrs, however, they are instructed 10
use duplicates of form ninety-nine, and
not receipts on any other form.
The negroes of this district will hold a

aud effect upon society, the relations which
they bore to society, to the surrounding
country, all of which they submitted to
without the least demonstration of fight, as
they had threatened. After finishing his
talk, lie remarked 10 them that he felt that
he had set them to thinking about their
cowardly conduct-had done them as much
good as if he had preached to them, con-
sequently his duty for the day was done.
As he rode away this band of Pearnites,
with downcast countenances, skulked away
to their respective novels, like so many
wolves driven from a sheepfoid.
At first the parsOn was TO be subjected
to a clubbing, but their courage failed
them. And when brought into imme-
date contact with the "Rebel divine"
they did not dare 10 touch him Six
months ago and he would have
been mobbed and robbed. This occurrence
was in one of the strongest holds of Radical
ism. The late Democratic victories have I'M
nerved them. They acknowledge through
out this whole country the death of their
"Ioyal institution" Their concocted stories
and oulrages upon Toll men, as well as their
denunciations as false all information or
publications exposing their infamy, have
ceased to effect the public mind. The public
organs of this party will have to adopt some
other method than that which has hitherto
characterized them, if they longer blind tRe
popular mind In this connection We
would notice the disposition on the part OF
honest Radicals to mete out to the yiolators
Of "the laws" their 'just deserts" as evinced
in the late arraignment of the County
Court Clerk of Sullivan-the Jonesboro
Flags ideal of loyalty and honesty-one

There is a seeming determination upon
the part of many who were leading Radi-
Gals few months since, to see that he has
the full benefit of the law governing such
crimes, which, to the so-called Rebels, is
like a new revelation. OBSERVER.
