DISGIsTEn RADICALS.

1t is reported that the Radicals
about New York and Washington
are very much disgustedwith Grant
Of late. A New York letter TO the
Philadelphia Ledger states that
while Grant was in New York it
was intimated that a committee of
prominent Radicals desired to have
a talk with him in regard to who
shall constitute his Cabinet, when
the General remarked with smile,
that he thought of giving New
York contract to run the govern
ment for the next four years. The
hit seems to have been very dcci-
sive, for the committee did not
call to infict their advice upon
the President elect. The
other day in Washington,
Grant declared that lac want
ed an honest administration.
and frankly avowed his determine
ton to drive from Office official
rogues and other plunderers, and
intended to know personally the
character Of applicants for Office.
He also said Congressman shall not
control the patronage of their dis
tricts as heretofore, and this added
fuel to the fire. Prominent Radi-
Gals predict a row in the political
camps as the certain result of his
Ignoring their demands. Grant re
marked TO a friend recently that if
the revenue was not collected those
in charge would be required to give
satisfactory reasons

AnENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

The Cincinnati Enquire, OF the
18th inst, contains the following
paragraph
There is a curious provision IN lhe
State constitution of Tennessee, made by
Brownlow's carpet baggers and nogUoeS,
which declares that after an amendment
has been made to it, no other amendment
can be had for six years Most Of the
whites are disfranchiScd, and can neither
vote nor hold office. In order to cons
tinue this, and to have a certain siN-year
lease Of power, the negroes and carpet
baggcrS OF Tennessee are trying TO make
some comparatively unimpOrtant amend
ments to the constitution, and thus cut
of any chances Of altering the suffrage
clause"
The provision to which the En-
quirer refers was incorporated in
the constitution of this State when
it was revised in 1884, but it only
prohibits the Legislature from pro-
posing amendments oftener than
once in six years. 1t does not,
however prevent the Legislature
from calling a convention Of the
people to revise the constitution
once a year or oftener if that body
should so desire. If as was stated
by the paper whose announcement
has mislcad the Eaguirer, the Rad

THE Memphis appeal says the
Radicals of thi5 State are in a guam
dairy; that the confessions of
Rutter and Parham, which just
now they are trying to invalldate,
have operated to an almost disin-
tegratiOn of their party; and that
enmities personal and bitter, have
sprung up between the leaders and
criminatiOls andrecriminatiOns are
daily widding the breach. The de-
velopmenbfthat school fund" rob
berry was terrible blow to the Radi-
Gals. Itw require an extraordinary
amount O whitewashing TO enable
them to Bcover from this exposure.

party, as tied and trusted and hon

JUSTICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
SOUTH.

Liberal ideas are beginning to
find their way to the minds of some
of the most ultra Radicals. Every
now and then we hear of a promi-
nent Radical taking position in
favor of doing justice to the people
of the South. A meeting of prom
inent Radicals and Southern Con-
servatiyes was held in Washington
a few evenings since, at which there
were present about forty persons,
including Gen. Fremont, Col. For
ney, Congressman Cooke, Morrill,
and Morehead, General Longstreet,
and Ridgeway and Barbour, of
Virginia. ana COLONEL DurIva.,,
of Kentucky, and several South
ern Senators. The object of
the gathering was an interchange
Of views toward harmonizing the
people of the two sections. FOrney
said the time had arrived for the
exercise Of a wise and magnani-
nous legislative policy toward the
South so as to bring that people
into full accord and brotherhood,
and he avowed his intention to de-
vote his energies to this great pur-
pose. Fremont endorsed heartily
his views, and others spoke in q
similar strain. Forney's conserva-
tism has surprised his friends, who
are mostly the intensest Radicals
Perhaps one reason for Col. For.
ney's liberal views is to be found in
the fact that he is largely interested
| in land sperulations in the South
He has recently been on a tom
through a portion of North Caro-,
lima and had the sagacity to see
that the present anomalous cOndi,
ton Of affairs cannot be continued
much longer, and the result is he
has returned to Washington with
very liberal ideas. These indica
tons show the drift of events.

icals in the present Legislature
hoped to extend The lease of their
party on the offices of the State for
six years longer, and continue the
odious disfranchisement which has
enabled them to get into po*er for
at least that length of time, they
became thoroughly satisfied that
that resort would avail nothing
and the unimportant amendment
was rejected.

THE FORMATION OF CABINETS.

The Hartford Comm Courdnt
has an article to show that Gen.
Grant has not departed from usage
in Withholding from the public all
knowledge as to the persons who
will compose his cabinet; and that
he is only doing what has been done
by all his predecessors. For in
stance, the CouFant states that Gen.
Jackson reached Washington on
the 18th of February, 1929, and it
was not until the 9th that the Ma
tiOnaI Intelgigencer published semi
officially, the probable list of the
cabinet, and two of the gentlemen
thus named were afterward chan<
ged. Gen. Harrison reached Wash
ington on the 9th of February, 1871
and his cabinet was announced en-
the 18th. Mr.. Polk arrived at the
capital on the 18th of February
1915, but: his cabinet was
neither announced nor formed
until after the LIST of March
Gen. Taylor reached WasnlngUon
on the 23d of February, 1949, but
it was not till the Sd of March that
the newspapers announced of whom
his Cabinet would be composed
Gen. Pierce arrived at Washington
on the 21st of February, 1858 foul
days previously, on the 18th, a list
was published intended as feelel
but the whole was changed witt
a single exception, and no officia
announcement of the Cabinet ap
peared until the appointments were
actually made. Mr.. Buchanan
formed his Cabinet before leaving
| Lancaster and the list was pub
lished on the Goth of February
he himself not leaving home til
the I'd of March, 1857. Mr.. LincOlI
arrived in Washington the 23d o
February, 1861, and his Cabine
=, was probably mainly constructed
before he left Springfield, but nj
authoritative publication was mad
in advance. 1t is now only TIVE
weeks TO the Inauguration, and M
one knows certainly the name o
one man who will be a member o
Grants Cabinet. He is reported
to have said that he had not con
fided this secret to even Mrs
Grant. None of his predecessor
has been so reticent as that. Th,
President elect has always hereto
fore consulted some of the leading
men of the political party to which
he owed his election as to the mel
who should compose his cabinet
Gen. Grant appears however not t.
have consulted a single member o
the Radical party upon this subject
and tits this ignoring Of the leader:
of the party that elected him tha
has given so much dissatisfaction tC
them. Whatever may be his future
course, he has so far shown an eX
traordinary independence of party
and party trammels.

GOLD AND GREEEBACEs

The Supreme Court of the United
States has at length delivered {
decision on the constitutiOnalitv o.
the legal-tender act, as that gues.
ton was incidentally involved in .
New York case appealed for adIu.
dication. 1t is affirmative, and
therefore settles that branch OF the
question.
On another point in the case, the
court holds the following language
as reported by telegraph
There are two descriptions of lawful
money in circulation, both sanctioned by
law, and both legal tender, and in view
Of this fact, contracts for payment must
be enforced and when coin Is prov ded
to be paid, judgments should be for such
description of money, but when no de-
scripton Is made, judgment should be
entered generally, and without speciti"a-
ton"
This is the cardinal idea and cs-
sence of the Pendleton theory in
regard to the 500 bonded debt
and thus it is vindicated by the
highest court in the nation. The
law authorizing the issue OF such
bonds, does not provide for the pay
ment Of the interest in coin, and no
holder can sue and recover in that
currency. The contract is silent as
to the kind Of currency in which it
is payable, and the government can
use rightfuI discretion ina what
money it will pay it, The interests
ofthe masses of the people require
it to bc paid in paper, and if Gen.
Grant is sincere in his intention of
urging a Just and economical fnan-
cial policy, he viii promphyrccom-
mend it to Congress.

IT is stated that several members
President Johnson'S cabinet will
nder their resignation on or be-
re the 4th of March, to take effect
that day. This willrelieye Gen
rant of the operation Of the ten

probably not send in their resigna
tions. From this intimation, it II
argued that they will likely occupy
