How the Radicals Intend to Garry Out

The Washington correspondent of the

not even the most acute observer could
form an idea. That it is of the highest
consequence might be inferred from the
fact that no ''leaky vessels''-no Congress

uncovered in the bill introduced yesterday

ports to add Chief Justice of the United

declare the General-in chief of the army
Mr.. Johnson's successor, is to be put
through under afull head of partisan steam.
It is currently reported that speaker Colfax
is to resign any right to the succession

to be thus made next in succession to the
man upon whose removal he is to pass
judgement. But the men who talk thus
are not well informed. The real programme
50 far as it can be discovered, is, as stated,
to make Gen. Grant de .fdcto President, as
he cannot be de jlsre by this revolutionary
measure, and when once enthroned In pow

PARAGRAPHs.-The New orleans German
Press has again changed hands, Messrs. 81.
]. Hauck, P. Pfeiffer q Co, now being the
proprietors, Mr.. Pfeiffer, of this firm, is
the founder of the, New Orleans German
Gazette.
Yesterday difficulty occurred in the sa'
loon of the Crescent Billiard Hall between
Arthur Guerin and Manuel Gonzalez, one of
the barkeepers, in which the former drew a
pistol and fred at the latter. The ball
grazed the finger of Mr.. Gonzalez, grazing
the skin. Guerin was arrested and locked
up in the First District Station.
On an affidavit made day or two since
one Bordelais was arrested last evening
in the Second District, charged with being
the accessory to the burglary committed at
the corner of Palmyra and Claiborne streets.
He is the last of the parties suspected of
the burglary who was still at large. The
police authorities express themselves COM
petent to substsntiate the charge against all
the prisoners indicated, who are now in
custody.
Gustave Bordelais was arraigned this
morning before Recorder Becker and re
manded to Parish Prison, in default of bail
in the sum of $1,000 for appearance to be
examined on the charge preferred against
him.
The names of P. 7. G. Beauregard, G. W.
r. Bayley and Colonel Hardie have been
suggested in connection with the Board of
Engineers proposed to be elected by the
Council for the purpose of devising plan
for draining the city and protecting it from
overflow.
Captain Woodruff, of the Carrolltor po-
lice, reports that last evening man who
had probably been drinking too much ere
ated slight disturbance by threatening to
cut the Threats and clip off the ears of the
Judge and District Attorney. The latter
drew his pistol to shoot the offender, but a
bystander threw his arm up, and he didn't
shoot.
Thomas Laden was arrested this morning
on the steamboat landing for passing coun-
terfeit money, or trying to palm off upon
colored men pretty little showbills for ten
dollar notes.
John H. Finch, one of the patrolmen, was
dismissed from the force by the Metropoli-
tan Police Commissioners this morning for
neglect Of duty.
About nine o'clock last evening, Charles
McCurdy was cut in the left side and head
on Royal street, in front of the Bismarck,
by some unknown person. H. was taken
by his friends to the drugstore, corner of
Customhouse and Bourbon streets, where
hiswounds were dressed, and then carried
TO his residence, corner Of Tchoupltoulas
and Erato streets. His injuries are not
dangerous. 4
