+ The Radicals of Mount oV srnon,
Ohio, ara in their glory. Last week
we stated that they were attempting
to remove 3 soldiers widow from the
Post 0fice. The lady Mrs. Hood, had
been to Washington o few weeks ago,
and had received assurances from
Grant that she would, not be disturb-
ed. But the pressure brought to bear
by the "loyal and patriotic stay-at-
homes, was too much for him, and the
widow was removed last week. The
new appointee is politician who re-
manned in the rear during the war;
Isn't it pleasant to lose husband or

THE RADICALS AND THE RIoT.-The
Republicans of the second ward of
Washington City held meeting last
Thursday evening to take measures to
denounce the recent election riots, but
found that the colored members pres
ent were not of that way of thinking,
for they opposed the adoption of res
olutions denouncipg those who ipsti-
gated the riots; and one colored
speaker declared that colored men yo-
ting at the polls in opposition to the
wishes of the colored race, should be
killed. The resolutions were tabled,

The Radical Triunapl..

-
The National InteligeRce,; in CONF
lnenting ON the result of the recent
election in Washington City, says ~
The Radicals knew that an honest
vote must result inevitably in their
defeat: They knew, about how many
votes they needed from the kitchens
and corn fields ofthe surrounding coun-
try to help them through, and that
number must be forthcoming.. This
result, therefore, deplorable as it is,
and in many ways hurtful, shows lite
tie more than this: That the negroes
of Virginia and Maryland, added to
the white ofiicerholding +. Radicals
who reside here, or, are here tempora-
rily, and vote in either case, outnum-
Der the bona tide, citizens of WASH
ington, those who really suffer from q
bad government and dishonest or inr
competent officials, or benefited by
good government and honest and ;ca-
pable officials, Fraud and debauche-
ry of ballot, we repeat, have again
triumphed. But let not the people be
discouraged, but bide their, time.--
There must come an end to outrages
of this sort, and when the end does
come there will come with it day OF
rejoicing which will give these black
and white Radicals their deserts, and
Yindicate the cause of the defiauded
andIinjured citizens. 20 ,ooa tll.a 9rE .

The e Grand Army of the Republic
has just held its annual convention,
andois more prosperous than ever.
The public has moi true idea Of the
Pimmense power which this organiza-
ton could WELD should its services
be called for. 1t is a disciplined army
four hundred thousand strong, and
nine tenths of its members are veteran
soldiers. This silent, uunotieed army
garrisons the whole North. It can

and what possible force could be

The Iszpes3alist seems to write from
the book, and is therefore seiltitleil to
some credence.9 For veal orifor woe
we believethat this grand army or
ganizatioh has immense power. Its
influence is seen and felt all over the
land, not merely in relieving the
wants of the widows and orphans OF
deceased soldiers, n(its professed OBJ
lject) but in the elections. If it were
a merely benevolent association OF
citizens and soldiers, orb both, it would
be unobjecfionable. In so far as il
seeks to take lcareyof the crippled
merely, and those who are left to the
cold charity of the world; ithas a. no
BILE object in view. The field isaal large
one, and init thei members in their
silent work of charity may achieve
| victories and renown not less IenduI
ring than those of the tented field. sv
But when asrwe have observed, they
seekito control conventions and elee.
tions, they, enter upon TO dangerous

What now lengthens the time of the
toiler? The immense debt with which
the Radicals have burthened the ma
tion. If we were free from any taxa
ton, direct or indirect, six hours of
work would earn as much as ten do
now. One hour more of work ought
to meet . laborer's ahare, of the. cost
of the government; another hour
should pay his share Of the national
debt. He now works two hours more
than he ought, to pay for the military
and negro policy Of Congress and and its its

The New Marriage Law Opinion of Attor-
ney General West.

Attorney General West has written
another opinion. 1t is about the new
marriage law, which he quotes, and
then says: The proviso requiring fe-
male persons under the age of twenty
one years to first obtain the consent
of their fathers respectively was, as
am informed, the result of a blunder
of the Enrolling Clerk Of, the House.
The bill as it passed the two houses
reads g females under the age of eigh.
teen years." &c. AS the law now
stands it is clearly inconsistent with
other provisions, and in some case;
acts as restraint upon marriage. i
should be disregarded by the officers
whose duty it is to execute it and
treated as if it read eighteen instead
of twenty-one years. .aj4fd iEfin j.

forced ont of him by fear Of Congress

probably would lead them to unite. Native and
foreign, white and black Catholic and Protestant,
Orthodox and Liberal oil acknowledged the
binding force of patriotism and our common hui
manity, and Joined in doing honor to the memory
of those who died that the nation might live, and
that government of the people FOR the people
BY the people, should not perish from the earth"
From an early hour on Saturday morning. any

in baskets wheelbarrows, and furniture cars were

came In, there was another grand pouring out oil
