We make the following extracts from
the Courier Journal:
Stokes says ''the Republican party in
Tennessee has gone to hell" 1t could
certainly have gone to no place where lie
would have been more apt to find it
again.
Hon. j. A. Royce, of Cincinnati, here
toforc prominent radical, in commu-
nlcatlon to the Cincinnati Enquirer. says:
~ have severed myself from the Repub-
hypocrisy, shufling dissimulation, q
fraud, n delusion, and snare. n comb.
nation OF grasping fanatics; fattening on
the vitals of the wealth-producers and
wealth distributors of the country" 1t
is evident that Mr.. Royce, during his
connection with the radical party, kept
his eyes about him.
A radical organ in New Orleans pro-
poses to amend the Constitution so as
to make ex.Presidents Senators at large
for life. Gen. Grant has been, the great
er part of the time since his Inauguration,
o President "at large"
Gen. Grant, as his foolish old father
relates, once rode in circus. He travels
SO much at this time that he might take
the management of travelling circus.
without putting himself at all out of the
way.
According to the most scientific calcu-
lations, the collision of the earth with q
comet and the snbmersion of our CONT
nent by tidal wave from China will
occur simultaneously.
The radicals Of some of the Eastern
States make fools of themselves upon
the temperance question. They might
as we'll get drunk on whiskey as on fana-
tical opposition to it.
Gen. Butler is busily arranging mat.
ters with view to securing his election
to the Presidency. He will lose his To-
Dor. The coming man will not squint.
The Augusta, Ga, Constitutionalist be-
lieves that the Southern heart bids def
ance to malignant fortune. That paper
says: "The South has been defeated in
battle; but she will once more emerge as
q contestant in the arena of reason and
on the fields of industry. We have to
thank our Northern brethren for ruins
and ashes. But in the ruins no bats and
owls gibber to the moon, grooming over
q solitude that has no hope; and beneath
the ashes our ancient fires are still alive
and still Immortality aglow. ~ {.
