Tue Five Imcorruptibles.

1t was once said that If five upright men
could be found in Sodom that unhappy city
might have been spared the direful fate which
befel it. 1t is reported that one of the master
spirits of the Albany lobby has stated that
there were only five members of the late
Senate who could not be purchased; but 1t
appears that the presence Of these Eve incor-
rupibles could not save the Senate chamber
from the obloquy attaching to charges of very
mysterious regeneration. If not of gross cor
ruption. The public would probably like to
know who these FIVE grave and reverend
seignors were. AT a random guess the names
of Tweed, Creamer, Bradley, Norton and
Pierce might be suggested without much
danger Of mistake. 1t is pretty certain that
in their general action in the Senate these gen
tlemen exhibited a aightforwardness and
consistency to party measures and obligations
that their republican opponents on the other
side Of the house did not manifest, greatly to
the chagrin of some members of their party
Perhaps the number Of those who could not
be influenced by the omnipotence Of the lobby
might be increased to seven In the persons of
Senators II. G. Murphy and Genet That cor
ruption and intimidation kept the majority in
alternate hope of reward and fear Of political
punishment upon many important questions,
and that these agencies combined were instru-
mental in deciding some of those questions, is
undeniable so that it Is evident that five or
even seven men could not save the Senatorial
Sodom

Our City Chamberlain leaves to-day for
Europe, with the intention Of making an ex-
tended tour on that Continent, the southern
limits Of which will probably be the Eternal
City. The labors Of Tammany and that por-
tiop of the city government which his Official
station imposed upon him must have warned
Mr. Sweeny that some relaxation from his
constant duties was necessary 10 order that he
might be able to work In the harness which II
seems the people have determined TO place
upon him In some capacity or another. It Is
fortunate for the Tammany Institution that II
claims In Its ranks mau like Peter d. Sweeny,
whose honesty Of purpose has had practical
demonstration in the fact that he has returned
regularly TO the City Treasury the interest on
the deposits placed in his keeping amounting
to prlucely fortune-which, according to the
prscedents established by his predecessors, bs
gs1ht fwe hs!d as his owu perqulslte, Ia

ANOTHER Aor IN THE DRAMA or RuP-
rUHE.--One Of our city republican contempo-
raries relates the fact that an accomplished
man, master Of several languages, faithful to
bis duties, trustworthy and accurate, has been
removed by Secretary Boutwell, from position
iu the Treasury Department. Crime --opposi-
tion 10 impeachment II appears that this
case Of ostracism has been traced to an officer
In the department who Is among the mcancst
OF the mean small potato representativesof the
most vindictivc radical clique in New Hamp-
shire. If President Grant allows his admins
tration to be run on this grade II will becoiDe
mere radical machins and pretty soon run
into the ground. Tbs Ia. however, beI aaosher

rae A,,proae,,;.z Election ma virginia.

Tae As,prDachins Election ma Virginia.
BY order Of President Grant proclamation
win he Issued in Washington to-day fixing the
9th of July next as the day for holding the
election in Virginia. The State paper pro-
vides that the new constitution shall be sub
mitted to the electors. Separate votes will be
received as to the issue, by approval or
rejection, Of the citizen disabilities and
test-oath clauses, but on no other spe-
cial points of the instrument According to
appearances 1t is estimated that the white
vote under the new registration may be In
creased twenty thousand. At the former
registration it exceeded the black vote by
about fifteen thousand, and presuming that the
latter registration will not reach the ratio OF
the white, it is calculated that the white con-
servatives will have thirty thousand prepon-
derance in the State If they bring forth their
whole strength. We notice from the local cor
respondence of Richmond papers that while In
the eastern, southwestern and middle portions OF
the State the greatest enthusiasm exists in the
cause of the conservative candidate for Gov
ernor, Colonel Walker, in the Valley there is
an apathy among portion Of the people which
is pronounced deplorable. One writer from
the Valley ays:-'T do not mean that Walker
is not the choice here, but that numbers of our
citizens, with headstrong obstlnacy, persist in
the old fogy 'do-nothing' policy that will be
productive of political suicide, If they do not
wake up to the vital issues now before u.s." 1t
is also stated that the places of registration are
80 remote and difficult of access that many
conservatives will not spare the time nor take
the trouble to register, and hence they will lose
their vote. This feeling Of indifference should
not be permitted to continue. II native Vir-
ginians wish to be restored to former political
rights and position under the government they
should arouse themselves to the Importance of
instant and cooperative action, and realize the
maxim that 'Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty Commenting upon this point the
Richmond Whig remarks 1.-THE Virginian or
Northern or foreign citizen and settler who
fails to acquire by registration the right to vote
will subject himself to the suspicion of being
desirous to do indirectly what he has not the
manliness to do direcly-that is. to aid in the
election Of Wells and in fixing disfranchise-
ments and disabilities upon those who are bone
of his bone and flesh of his flesh" Therefore
it will be made to appear when election day
comes how far and how deeply the white citi-
zen in Virginia appreciates the political situa-
ton in that State.
The New York herald., 1869-05-15

this regard the Old World will perhaps hall in
Mr.. Sweeny tasus nature, an honest New
York politician. Tammany will have to look
sharp after its business in his absence; for,
although the head remains here, in the person
OF its Grand Sachem, Supervisor Tweed, who
Is quite competent to run the machine ana
keep all the rings in order, Tammany loses It's
heart and great portion Of its vitality, tenn
porarily, while Peter B. Sweenys well tried
sagacity is wanting. We wish the honest, ge-
NAL and good-hearted Chamberlain bon ooyage,
and hope he will bring back the blessing OF
Pio Mono, with power to dispense it to all the
members Of the city government on his safe
return.
The New York herald., 1869-05-15

On Thursday last the National Executive
Committee of the Colored Men of the United
States waited upon the President to pay him
their respects and to present to him an address
signed by George @. Downing of Rhode
Island, President (oysters in every style); f..
G. Barbados, of Massachusetts,; Sella Martin,
OF New York, and others. The object OF the
address was share of the spoils to some Of
the black folks in the North, in order to show
that this recognition by the administration Of
equal rights to the black man is not TO be
limited to the South, but Is to be made prac-
tically to apply as well to the North; which is
not bad idea on the score Of consistency. Ig
conclusion the committee thought it due to say
to President Grant that In behalf of our colored
Americans he had gone far beyond the lameuted
President Lincoln, ''for while under the neces-
stiles Of the war he made the nation ours by
calling on us Qhe black race) to its defence,
you General Grant,, under the calm influence
of peace have given us to the nation by lifting
our race into the enjoyment Of its immunit lee"
General Grant kindly responded, promising
to give the subject careful consideration.
But the historical fact presented in reference
to Lincoln and Grant deserves passing re-
mark Lincoln did adopt emancipation only
as a war measure, and did not believe in
negro equality. Andy Johnson, after oil, was
fair representative of the ideas and policy Of
Lincoln in regard to the blacks. General
Grant, on the other hand supposed to be adj
Illinois democrat on the negro question till
1868, turns out in 1869 far ahead of Lincoln
and up to Wendell Phillips himself in the prac.
tical application of the doctrine Of equal politi,
cal rights to all citizens whites, yellows, reds
and blacks. Thus even on the question Of
colOred mems rights the glory Of Lincoln il
completely eclipsed by the glory Of GrantN
Downing, the oysterman, very neatly puts th&
distinction, and he and all his people ought to
have an oyster jubilee, a chowder feast or q
clam bake on the subject. General Grant, Of
all the great men of the time, is the Joshua
who has brought this peculiar people into the
Promised Land, while Lincoln was only their
Moses in delivering them from the bondage Of
Egypt. Why not have, then, this colored
jubilee? for
