The ship Dreadnought, Captain Mayhew, from

was lost on the morning or July 4, on Cape Renas,

was occasioned by her having ancho ed nearer
shore than was supposed. and when the breakers
were discovered she was becalmed and drifting
with the current. The crew, thirty-four In oil,
including woman THE stewardessI and boy Of
twelve years had hardly time to get into two
small boats which they succeeded in low

clothes they had on. and not mouthlIl

on the sheltsh which they gathered from the rocks
at low tide. At night they slept on shore around

them well, not Offering them the slightest violence.

no warrant for this opinion in these nomina-
tions. II Mr.. Fenton has any position in New
York politics, II is rs an advanced radical. Gene
raj Schurz has given his whole life to radical
ideas; Mr.. Hamlin is radical of the strictest
sect; Charles Summers name is whole gos-
pei of radcalism; Matthew H. Carpenter adds
Western fervor to Massachusetts, faith; while
Mr.. Chandler, Governor Ramsay, Governor
Cumbaeke and Mr.. Scott belong to the same
school.
The gentleman who see in the election OF
General Grant q triumph OF the sentiment
which endeavored to paralyze the war, 70
elect Mcclellan in 1864, 10 prevent the enlan- e1i
cipation Of the slaves, to make new party
ont of the Philadelphia Convention, TO bresK
mn the Republican organization, are mistaken.
The men who now seek to make General
Grant the leader of q party composed OF Cop
nerbeads and milll-and-water Republicans
will find in this expression OF public sentiment
that our Presidential triumph was that OF the
paEg of progress. General Grant Is pre-
emMently Republican Presloent, CHOSEN oy
the Union Republican party-by the party
which in 1866 defeated President Johnson
and his patronage even when he was aided,
especial 'ly in New York, by these same 'con-
aervative' politicians.
AS a Republican journal of somewhat
advanced school, we trust that the names
"radical" and conservative" or any name,
luueeu, which gives expression 10 ulueIenoes
in the Republican party, will be forgotten.
We have no remembrance OF the griefs and
the mistakes, possibly the sins, of the past
few years. We do not desire General Grant
to be anything but the President of the
country, and OF the whole country. We are
confident that he will so use his high Office
that good men will conduct our affairs, that
economy will prevail in the administration,
that justice will be kept pure, that the
national flag will be protected in foreign
lands, and citizens of this nation in every
State of our own. This is the sentiment of
every Republican called 'radical;" and the
men who are sent to the Senate, as believers
in 'radicsl" doctrines, are the truest friends
of the new administration. Their truth and
their wisdom will be no less welcome because
they represent the will of the Republican
party and the dominant sentiment of the
American people.

eminent; that is effected alone by relnquish-
ment Of occupation. We know Of no instance
In which 1t has been conceded that tribe has
the right of sale. There is no Indian right TO
sell direct to foreign nations or to pri-
vate citizens, yet the power to do so is
certainly recognized under the existing
system, for these lands are received from
the.tribes the same as IL they held a pos
sessory right The supremacy of trea-
ties as law is admitted; but we do
not go so far as Mr.. Pnckney, who declared
that the treaty-making power is competent to
execute itself even to the extent of appro-
priating money out of the public treasury;
holding that such an appropriation was law
within the meaning OF the eighth section of
Article l of the Constitution His construc-
tion, however, has never been adopted for,
from the year 1876 down, the course of the
Government has been different. The entire
scope and limitations of this power were dis
cussed in the Convention which framed the
Constitution in 17S7 and also in the Virginia
and North Carolina Conventions held in the
following year; but no such right was recog-
nized as the one now claimed and exercised.
Both Washington and Jefferson sustained doc
trines that would deny tho right of the treaty
power to dispose of the public lands under
aRy circumstances; and the reasons must be
obvious.
Assuming that the prevailing practice is
lawful, it is doubly injurious; for, while it
claims to be for the benefit of the Indians it
is to their injury, and is prejudioial TO the in
terests of those citizens who desire to enter
the public territory for bona .Jide settlement;
for the tribes are certain to be cheated in every
case by speculators, aud the property OBJ.
tanned be held at speculative prices. Millions
OF acres of the public territory are being sold
by the treatymaking power, aud are being
bought, in a vast majority of instances, doubt
less, in full good faith by parties who have
not the slightest suspicion of the validity OF
their title. Are these sales valid Let Con
gress decide.
