PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION.

Heretofore, the aim of the Radical
party has been simply the retestion oil
power-which is the true aim of every
party. The means by which that pow
err was to be retained have been Up to
this time, uncertain, shadowy, varying
with the exigencies of the hour. Now,
however, their schemes are beginning to
take definite form. The "Conspiracy,"
as it is termed by the N. Y. Herald, is
outlined as follows:
The object of the revolutionist are
declared to be the entire overthrow oil
constitutional republican government
as failure, proved to be such by the
war of the rebellion, and the substtu-
ton In its place of a so-cailed "Govern-
ment of the people," under the delusive
Jacobin cry OF Liberty and Equality. y
The means and process by which this
end is to be accomplished are set forth
as follows:-
The conviction and removal of An
drew johnson, and the installation oil
Ben Wade in the Presidency for three
or four months before the commence.
ment Of the next Presidential term.
The election of Grant as President
and Ben Wade as Vice President and
President of the Senate, by the aid Of
martial law in doubtful States, If neces.
sary.
The virtual abolition OF the Supreme
Court ofthe United States, by stripping
the Judiciary of the power to pass upoI
| the constitutionality of any act of Con.
gress relating to reconstruction or tx
the business Of the government.
The extension of the term of office Of
the President, Grant, the Vice Presi.
dent, Wade, and the present United
States Senate to ten years from the Isl
of March, 1859, on the plea that a con-
stantly recurring change in the govern
ment Is har mful in the existing c0ndI.
ton of the country and was one OF the
main causes of the late war of the rebel
lion.
The unlimited imitation of the curren.
CIV, through the instrumcntality of the
national banks, so as to throw upon the
country an enormous amount of paper
money, by means of which the people
are to be kept in state of excitement
and good humor, and to be amused ant
made satisfied with an apparent pros
perity.
This is the end and aim of the radlca
conspiracy, to which impeachment II
only one of the preliminary steps. Tht
dictatorship of Grant will be nomina
only, and the real power will be in the
Senate, with Ben Wade at its head.

scHoFIELD TO THE CONVENTION.

Gen. Schofield, in his address to the
State Menagerie on yesterday, as re
ported by telegraph, sprung mine,
with terribly fatal effect, in the midst
of that hoxoraN conciavc. He only sta
ted, what every Virginian knew before,
and what his own experience has
thoroughly taught him. that the appli-
cation of this test-oath system to all
county officers in the State, will either
leave numbers of vacant places amongst
these positions, or else fill the land with
incompetent--to say the least-otficials.
Gen. 5. has.spoken like white man,
and sensible one, at that. What final
effect his cOunsels will have upon u nder-
wood &c Co., it is haid to- say. If they
abolish the test-oath OF officials, the only
chance of many of their own number to
latten off the public crib, is forever gone.
If they retain it, the beauteous model
Constitution upon which they have
been exhausting their own time and
talents and decent mems money, for
nearly five months past, will be worse
beaten at the polls than 1t would proba-
bly, otherwise be.
What will they dof Which horn of
the dilemma will they seize?-Lwch5urg

A spIR1TUALIsr ON THE WATER.

Just before noon yesterday a man
over sixty years of age left the mouth
of the Genesee for Oswego in little
boat not more than fourteen feet long,
and having a fiat bottom. He put up
his little sail and stood away to the
eastward. his craft bounding over the
pillows which were rolling pretty high
under a strong westerly gale. He
could be seen for six or eight miles
from Charlotte,and was going all right.
This foolish and adventurous naviga-
tor says he is acting under the direc-
ton of a spirit. He, with this craft,
was to go to the atlantic. but was di-
rected to make trial trip to Oswego.

AMENDMENT OF THE BANKRUPT LAW,


In the House of Representatives on
Monday, Mr.. Jenckes, from the COM
4-mittee on the Revision of the Laws,
reported a bill amendatory of the bank
rrupt act. 1t extends the provisions
of the second clause of the thirty-third
section till 1st June, 1869, and amends
it so as to read, ain all proceedings in
bankruptcy commenced after the LIST of
June, 1859, no discharge shall be gram
ted to a debtor whose asset shall be
eoua to fifty per cent, of the claims
proved against his estate and upon
which he will be liable as the principal
debtor, uuless the assent. in writing,
ola majority in number and value of
his creditors. &c. It also gives regis
tiers in bankruptcy power to administer
oaths. The bill is now under onsid-
GRAFTON.
HIP The Petersburg Index say s the
proposed Constitution is grave dug
for the whites of this Commonwealth.
The proposed Constitution cuts of
the white children of the Common
wealth from the benefits of free educa-
ton, except upon condition that they
shall herd and consort with negroes
under the Instructions of lewd Yankee
school marms and detestable Radica
teachers.
The proposed Constitution surren-
ders the property OF the State absolute

F A dispatch from st. Louis states
that on Sunday a CHASTITY spectacle was
presented in the river below the city.
During the cholera season last summer
large number of the bodies of the vic
tins of the epidemic were buried by the
CITY on Arsenal Island, a short distance
below the city. The river has been for
some time gradually wearing the is
land away, and yesterday the water
reached trench In which bodies were
buried, and washed some fifty or more
cofFins out, which fioated down the
stream. Twenty-four have been re-
covered.

chat the closing of the defence was oc-
casioned by the conviction of the Pres
ident's counsel that the majority Of the
Senate had determined to gag all wit
nesses brought forward. The cores
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette from
Washington states that the Presidents
friends regard his removal as fore
gone conclusion.
