s.Should General Grant be chosen Presi-
dent every one kcno,cs that the land will have
rest for at least four years from the 4th Of
March next" The most inveterate, whoie-
souled and shameless adopts in mendacity
are those " no. when telling an untruth, look
Won straight in the eye, and deliver the as
sertion with plain, unvarnished emphasis
the New York Tribune does in the sentence
above quoted.
II the election of Grant, as the representa-
tive Of the Radical party, would give the
country rest for four years, why has the
country not had rest, under the domination
of that party for the past three years? As
the executive exponent of Radical principles
and policy, he could do no more and no less
than to prolong the reign Of Radicalism
And what has been the character of that
reign? What have been its fruits This is
the only criterion by which we can be con-
Quoted to a safe conclusion for practical gull
dance.

words We must judge by acts and by re-
suits Utterance ON the part of the Radical

are equally unsatisfactory. The Radical eau
Gus which combined with Grant for the pur-
pose of securing power hereafter, have had
control of the government for three years.
And for a great part of that time, Grant has
been an active participants with them an exar-
cising an arbitrary dominion. In respect to
the execution of laws affecting questions vital
to the peace and tranquility of the country, ne
has virtually been President under Radical
legislation, while Andrew Johnson has been
reduced TO the mere shadow of the constitu-
tional executive.
Well, then, with all power in the hands Of
Grant and the Radicals, why has the land not
had rest? Why has it not had domestic
quiet in the several States of the South, and
harmony between the sections? Why did
not recuperation and prosperity follow the
close of the war? Why has industry more
and more languished? Why has foreign
commerce continued to dry up from year to
year2 Why do the people stsgger under
| increasing burdens of taxation, and why have
| fifteen hundred millions of dollars been ex-
pended without applying one cent to the re-
duction of the public debt, which is aug
mented from month to month?
Nothing has stood in the way of any of the
blessings referred to, nothing has prolonged
and aggravated all the evils referred to, but
the existing Radical domination. Aud yet
the New York Tribune has the hardihood to
promise the country rest, prosperity, and SC
forth, under a perpetuation Of the same op'
probrious misrule Yes, there might be rest
the rest of the grave. Yes, there might be
prosperity-the prosperity of the grave-worm'

GOVERNOR wARnorH REFUrED.

When Governor Warmoth declared in an
official communication to the President that
one hundred and fifty or hundred and fifty
thousand, we forget the exact number invented
for the occasion by his comparative excellen-
CIV, had been committed in Louisiana within
that e sS now k nSes
direct testimony in regard to at least one part
of the governors statement-that relating to
the parish of Franklin. This parish was sig
nalized as a conspicuous illustration of law
lessness, and he made the direct assertion that
"the sheriff of the parish of Franklin, a
Democrat, has resigned, confessing his inabil-
ity to make any arrests or discharge the duties
of his Office on account of the condition of
public affairs there"
An extra of the Franklin Sun contains the
following correspondence, which is conclusive
as to the parish of Franklin at least, and
makes Governor Warmoth's little enviable
position still less enviable

OUTAGE.

Radical clubs are becoming frequent upon
our streets, and it is not to be denied that out
RACES upon citizens and property a-e as ire
quent as the professions. Last night about
fifty colored people turned out uniformed as
Zouaves. Nobody molested them. But at
the corner of Gravier and Carondelet streets,
Spaniard or an Italian who keeps small
fruit store next to Santini's, was assaulted and
badly beaten by the myrmidons attending the
men in the procession. These outrages are
becoming too frequent they happen at every
Radical demonstration. They must cease, for
although the city is responsible for damages
which may be incurred, it is the tax-paying
citizens who have to settle up in the long
end.
Radical clubs have also used violent lam
guage and made outrageous demonstrations
ON Canal street, in front of the Democratic
Central Committee.
These things must have an end-Demo-
cratic clubs are not guilty of such conduct
and the Radical clubs, be they white or be
they black, multi-colored, or uniform in COM
plexion, must respect the rights of people
upon the Streets Jobs patience was taxed be-
yond endurance.

A L TIE r Ma rEs;
THE VERMONT ELECTION.

The Radical papers are raving over the YER
mont election, in which they pretend to see
symptoms Of an ebb in the Democratic tide.
This is either the madness of the moon, the
driveling of idiocy or the frenzy of despair.
At all events it is in the highest degree absurd.
The Democrats of course did not expect to
carry Vermont. They did not even expect a
decrease in the Republican majority of last
year but they did expect to make relative
gain on the actual vote cast. and this they
have accomplished. The first announcements
that the State had gone Republican by 80, 600
majority, were made without reference to the
returns, and with view to revive the fail
ing spirits of the Radicals throughout the
country. 1t was supposed that the falsehood
would have the desired effect in spite of any
subsequent denials and so the Tribune goes
through its usual salutatory gyrations, and
all the lesser Republican oracles and orators
break into chorus of simulated enthusiasm,
fire cannon, throw up rockets and shout
themselves boarse with excess of necessary
Joy over this glorious victory. But it turns
out that there is no such great victory after
HI WIN - unqucSlAOuuOiy iuO 10 ehoe WIZ
Republicans have carried the State, and by
larger majority than last year. But it is
equally true that the Republican majority
now is about 5000 less than it was in 1S64-less
indeed than it has been at several previous
elections-less than at any election for num-
Der of years, in which both parties exerted
their full strength. What may be called the
normal majority in Vermont is about $4,000.
Democratic gain % 81 qseV6 If We S'ct COM
pare with last year we find, as the last state
ment informs u.s. that the Republican vote has
increased 22 per cent, whilst the Democratic
vote has increased 33 Fer cent Comparing
with 1864 there is a relative Democratic gain
of 5000. Now the total vote of Vermont is
about $1,000, so that the Democrats have
really gained nearly 10 per cent in the last four
years. A similar rate of gain would give
Pennsylvania to Seymour by more than 4O, 900
majority, Ohio by more than IL, 900, and New
Hampshire by about 5000. 1t is just about
the rate of gain that carried New York for the
Democracy last year by nearly $4,000 ma
iority. Such is this remarkable Republican
victory in Vermont. The Democrats wish
that the Radicals may win many more just

Conway, the so-called governor of the recon-
structed State of Arkansas, instructs his
certain things required by the carpet-bag and
scalawag convention, and then not to let him
register if he does everything required of him
unless the registrars think that it is safe to do
so. In other words no man is to be regis
tered unless he is supposed to be Radical,
and thus Arkansas is to be carried for Grant
and Coliax. The courts are forbidden to in
terfere with the Radical autocrats' and oil
garchs in the contamination of this plan. Let
us have peace.

The Albany Journal says the poor man in
this country never sees the tax-gatherer,
statement intended to persuade the toiling
millions of the land that the United States
government spends four or five hundred mil
lions year without getting it. 1t may be true
that the poor man never sees the tax-gatherer,
but it is false that he does nor feel the taxes.
The Journal might as well say that man
with . load on his back would be relieved of
his burden by simply putting out his eyes.
The fact is that this is the most tax-ridden
country on the face of the earth, and the Rad
icals insist that the only practicable method

reducing expenditures and paying off the debt

The Chicago Tribune recommends paying
the public debt by total abstinence on the
part of the people from liquor and cigars. A
total abstinence from Radical plundering and
thievery would be much more efficacious; but
that cannot be assured until the Radical party
is expelled from power.
