GENERAL GRANT RADICAL The Gin
cinnati Commercial, prominent Republican,
is satisfied of this. After remarking that
General Grant evidently means to ''admin-
lister the great duties in behalf Of the people
thereof, and not in behalf Of that portion of
them whose votes elected him" the Com
nseycial says: ~ 9.-+ '''3
''This may be distressing and alarming to
those rigid and political schoolmen who put
the party first, or who believe the terms par
ty and country Synonymous. But there need
be no apprehension on that score General
Grant from all we have heard of him, is
likely to hold, and attic proper time express
very radical sentiments He will be radi-
cally in favor Of honesty and capacity in Of
fee, economy in Government, its purgation
of the corruptions that have extended into
all its branches, and obedience to the laws of
the land. That is the sort Of Radicalisln
wanted just now. and its practical develop
ment in the workings Of the Government
will rebound alike to the best interests ofthe
whole country and the party which has as
sumed the responsibility of governing the
nation for the next four years"

HIS REMAINS SENT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Senator Rich, member of the Senate of
North Carolina, died last week in Raleigh.
His remains, attended by four senators of the
North State. were tdken to Vermont. The
Sentinel states that when the Senate voted the
resolution, directing that four members
should accompany the remains Of the dead
senator to the place of interment, they sup
posed that that place was within the district
represented by the deeeased but they were
carried to the place of the nativity of the
deceased, from which he SO recently came to
the South This is quite illustrative of the
state of things here in the SOUTH the govern
ments of the ten southern States being so
much under the control of strangers

Mr.. Joseph Segar is out in a long and
able letter advocating the removal Of the
political disabilities of the Virginia Judges.
He says: &
Il am prepared to state, most confidently
that the bench has never been filed with pur-
er. and ADLER men,. N
In my time, most certainly, Virginia has
never had a superior judiciary. The Judges
Of her high Court of Appeals and other Cir
cult Courts are, without exception, not only
gentlemen of spotless purity Of character,
but jurists of eminent ability and learning.
To match them, even with the widest range
Of selection, would be most difficult if not
impracticable task. From theesamcs knowl-
edge, | am prepared further to state that to
fill the places Of these Judges with competent
incumbents Of Virginia nativity or residence
who can take the required oath--the' iron
clad, as it is usually terined--is matter Of
impossibility. [ know Of but one circuit
that can furnish a qualified circuit Judge
who can subscribe to the oath, and in that
case the party.is greatly inferior to the pres
ent incumbent, besides being over seventy
years Of age"' J 9s1'' A' r.
The National Republican says this letter
meets with the approval of leading Republi-
cans, beth in and out of Congress.

Gold or Goodwill.

"Now have got horse and COW every
"body cries, welcome PETER" The truth
of this quaint but very suggestive French
proverb has never been better illustrated
than in the softening eject which the grow
ing prosperity ofthe Southern States has had
upon even the most rabid Of the Radical
Journals at the North. So long as the South
ern people were stepped in poverty they were
only worthy of persecution, denunciation,
and contempt 10 malign them was no
SANDER; to plumber them of the little that
remained to them was no crime to insult
them was no shame. No language was too
bitter to describe them, no epithet too strong
to hurl anthem. They4were .srebels, 'trai-
tors, . ::.assassius."" with no right to mourn
over their dead, or to call anything their own
except on suferance and by the grace of
their oppressors. But no sooner have they
succeeded, by dint of toll and hardship, and
of privations carried 10 the last limit of en-
durance, in rebuilding, to some extent, their
shattered fortunes, than the tender .sympa-
thies for Southern tradersssGnd touching ex-
preston in the columns of Northern journals.
The Southern people are once more desirable
friends. and open palms arc beginning to be
stretched out to them that were formerly
doubled up and thrust in their faces. There
is little coyness shown, at present, in max
ing these advances, and qualifying phrases
are occasionally used but everybody knows
that in feeling ones way to reconciliation,
it is necessary sometimes to dissemble a lit
tie. Sc long as the Southerners were re-
duced to so low a condition that nothing
more could be made out Of them, any show
of regard for them was manifestly out Of the
question. But the case is altered now
Their circumstances lave improved By
patient industry, and persistent frugality,
they have not only overcome the obsta-
Giles that crippled their energies. but they
have actually succeeded III putting money in
their purses. It is pleasant, therefore, to
remember that in the days before the war
they were profitable customers to Northern
merchants, and liberal guests at Northern
watering places, and if they could be now
induced to resume their old free ways and
old generous habits. those who but recently
spurned them are prepared to take them. by
the hand and to welcome them North again
Not of course to fatter and fleece them. Oh
dear, no! But out Of pure-yes, out Of a
pure, sincere, hearty belief that it would be
advantageous, socially and commercially,
both to the South and to the North-espe-
cially to the North. But what Of this con-
dition Politically? All, yes it is very sad
but the thing is done now, is it not ? and
perhaps it is just as well after all, that ''po-
liGcally" matters should be allowed to take
their course. Baltimore Gazette.

UNDERWOOD, JURIsT AND THIEF. -ssA
VirginlanN addresses letter to the editor Of
the Mobile Tribune, in regard to the early
history and career of Underwood. Among
other statements, we find this:
headed this article with 'sUnderwood
the Jurlst and Thief" and can prove that
the first is a mockery, and will swear from
personal inspection and observation that the
latter is true i. IT. Ar
Underwood was in the habit Of superintend-
ing the packing Of the hay, and had only
white laborers to assist in the work. There
lived near the station free man by the name
of Fred Beasley, who was often engaged by
the agent to assist in loading and unloading
the cars, and upon this occasion Fred was
hired by Underwood to help himin an emer
gency. A more intelligentnegro have never
seen, and happening to be at the depot the
day he was hired, Underwood and his party
having gone several hundred yards to spring
for the purpose of eating their dinner, ) Fred
came to me and said, "Mr. -, don't you
want to see the d-dest system of rascality
euer rrocticed en- THIS country w CHS own
words, } and asked me to follow him, which
| did He then showed the bale which was
unfinished, filled with rotten bag, dirt, ma
nure, etc., whilst the outside was covering
of beautiful bright hay. This Twill be qua!iG-
ed to, and Fred, if living, will swear to the
same. .,'4 .
