Gen. Grant Suspected by Radicals.

NSN' N~"N' SPSSNNN W
1t is clearly evident that a party
exists in the ranks of the Radical
majority in Congress which, even
at this early period, is inclined to
distrust Gen. Grant. 1t is by no
means inclined totake off the checks
which it has imposed upon Presi
dent johnson in order to trammel
him in the discharge Of his duties.
Those trammols it would leave in
full force upon Mr.. Johnson's sue
cessor. Thus it is not certain that
the Civil Tenure-of- Office Bill will
be repealed. The shoe which in
that case was so exceedingly tight
upon President Johnson's foot il is
perfectly willing shall ipcase Gen.
GraHts pedal Nextremities. The
pain it causes him will always be q
reminder of the power of Congress,
and tho difficulties he will encounter
If he goes contrary to its will.
This party may consent, by and
by, to the repeal Of this offensive
statute, which SO greatly lowers the
power OF the President, provided
the latter will first show himself the
supple tool of tho Jacobin faction
The law, at present, is considered
by many Of these Radicals as sort
of bond for the good behavior of the
Gencral--a bond which is not TO be
cnsily or too lightly conceded. Nay,
more, they would throw another
political lasso over the President
elect. They have o suspicion that
Gen. Grant will place in the Cabi-
not, and other important civil posi-
tions, military officers. This would
exclude, Of course, some ardent
Jacobin patriots. This must be
guarded against; hence the effort,
which may be successful, to pass q
statute in deprivation.
These movements in Congress, in
addition to the attacks which are
constantly made by Wendell Phil
lips and tho Anti.Slauery Standard,
must impress Gen. Grant that, be-
fore his advent into office, he is
under great cloud Of suspicion in
his own party,--Cincinna Enquirer.

" Sold Into Slavery -

The threo words aOove could be
found, a few years ago, in every
Abolition paper throughout the
North. The sound as we'll as the
sight OF the words frightened every
Abolitiohist in the North, most of
Whom were known then by their
extremely long faces and the white
crsvats which they wore at oil sea-
sons of the year. The few of this
class Of earnest and insane reform
ers, or white-waahers of the black
race, left unshot and unhung by
JEVF. DAVIS in the late war they
made upon the South for the pur
pose OF stealing and white.washing
all the blacks "sOld into slavery"
do not appear to be quite SO uneasy
now whpthey see and hear those
words. The words "sold into
slavery" do not have the same mean
ing now that they did a few years
ago. Look at the poor, hard. d.worl1-
ing Imen at the iron furnaces in
Vinton and other connties. Arc
they not in a worse situation than
any negro ever "sold into slavery2"
Most of these poor, hard working
men are compelled by the tyrannical
managers and bosses at the iron
furnaces, to 60 and cast their ballots
in favor of taking the greater por
tion Of all they earn to pay the taxes
on bonds. In doing this, they arc
not only "sold into slavery" but
pay largo premium for the privi
lege Of wearing the shackles. Why
they not only vote to impoverish
themselves, butagrCc to pay, directly
or indirectly, tho interest on the
bonds held by their bosses and the
aristocrats throughout tho country,
for the honor of chopping wood,
digging ore, driving team, &C., for
the benefit OF an administration, the
main element of which is free
nogroism, to the level of which he
is to be socially and politically do.
graded. The proportionate amount
Of taxation to every white votor in
the country, is eighty dollars each
per year-all taken to support the
party these poor white furnace la.
borers are driven to the polls to vote
for. Don't talk, any more about
negroes Of the South being "soll into

Suppose tho vote Of the country

roads in Elk snd Madison townships
both OF which -,e very important, not
only to the people along whore they shall

to say that q few persons have opened
their eyes to the road business.
On Thursday last, in company with

visited that town on business conn cot ed
with the establishment Of these two pro.
posed roads-passing along and examin.

Work and ,Wares

From the New York Commercial Bulletin
The venerable proverb, "the Ia
borer is worthy Of his hire" does
not seem to be regarded as any
thing more than theoretically true.
Mechanics, for instance, are among
the most diligent Of laborers, but
they render more important and
valuable services to society for a less
pecuniary return than any other
class Of men. The great mass of
these intelligent and faithful labor
ers, scarcely earn more than ascanty
living. From some interesting
statistics lately published regarding
the condition Of the working classes
of the United States, we learn that
the average life Of our mechanics is
estimated at forty-six and a half
years, and the average number of
days work performed in this climate
is $50 days in a year. Here is ex-
hibited degree of attention to
business, not equaled by any other
class. Out of 3l3 working days in
a year, only sixty-three are not de-
voted to the mechanics trade
These sixty-three days are all that
are required (outside of Sunday
for recreation, sickness, pleasure,
sport and private business.
The average annual expense Of a
mechanic in our cities, including
board and clothing, is about $500.
Estimating the average compensa
ton Of such laborer at three dol
lars per day, he would earn in the
$50 days $3.50. From this deduct
his board and clothing, $500, and he
has left but $3.50 dollars for keeping
his family, for amusements, for
books, for educational purposes and
contingencies. The average work
ing years of mechanic are estima.
ted at twenty, which would make
| his gross earnings for a life tiniO, or
the basis above named, $4,000.

Now that all the winter prepara.

TO manifest some further interest
in the school work than merely to
send their children thither. The

The scholars need the encourage.
ment OF an occasional visit. i
parents talk with their children al
home freely about their schools, il
is we'll; it they visit the school
room occasionally, and seem inter.
ested in making pleasant thing ol

presence of father or mother at the
child's recitation, once a week, or
once q month, will have a salutary
