GRANT ATRUE-BLUE RADICAL.
Grant means to Out-Herod HerOd in
all that pertains to the torture Of the
South-he means to go the length OF
Simmer in n~egroism-but he designs at
the same time to mOnopoLize the patron
age of the Government! His imbecile
Cabinet is universally ansthemstizsd by
the Radicals but they are held in check
by his monstrous strides in the direC-
ton Of military despotism over the
whole country, and especially in the di-
rection Of az absolute ~subjugstion of the
Southern States.
The new Executive thought proper to
go outside of his constitutional duty in
recommending in his first State paper q
ratification Of the Fifteenth amendment.
What had he to do with that business I?
Why lug it in, except to assure the
fanatics OF the North in advance Of his
extreme Radical sentiments? In almost
the very words of the letter from this
city, which you published on the morn
ing Of the 4th inst, he gave assurance in !
his inaugural Of "protsetion" to the |
carpet-baggers, and the supremacy of the
Radicals and negroes Of the South, and
even before his office was organized at
the White House, restored, as was pre-
dicted he would, Terry to his "com-
mRnd" in Georgia, Sheridan to his in
Louisiana, and Reynolds to his in Texas.
But the extremist policy in this respect
is all that may be expected by the Rad
zeal msgnates. The Offices must be given
10 the Presidents personal friends. In
snaly z!ng his Cabinet l find not q single
man nominated but received this dis
tinetion fer personal fsvors either to him
or to his military and personal friend,
Gen. Sherman. HOSF is 8 relative OF the
latter, and il is reported that Gen. Grant
acknowledged that Borie wss selected
on personal grounds, as also Cox and
Washburne. I am in fault only Tin re-
speet to the snimus Of these sppoint-
ments) SIS to Cresweil, Of your Safe. l
cannot conceive what incentive could
possibly have provoked such a selection.
1 am greatly mistaken if Grants pol.
icy will prove 8 success. He will find,
after all, that his hate Of the South and
admiration OF Sambo will not suffice.
The r tdical leaders viii fight to the last
ditch, and sacrifice "q1ite smart" be-
fore giving up the spoils. They will die
first snd die game.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE CABINET.
1.-THE Cabinet as organized contin-
ues to furnish the principal topic OF con-
versation ia all cl-sses of society, and
politicians do not hesitate to express
their opinions pro and con most plainly.
appear TO agree on the single point :
hat the Cabinet is without strength, and
some fli-natures persons suggest that it
the purpose OF the President to have
Cabinet about kim which should not
1vershadOw the principal character in
he group. !
IL is currently reported to-day that Mr..
will enter upon the discharge
f the duties assigned him at the State 7
Department, but with the understanding
hat he will Only remain until Gen. Dix
be called home for the position,
Mr.. Wsshburne will accept the Z
french Mission. Nothing is yet known
3 to Mr.. Borie's determination. The
Their appOintees are expected here to-
and they will Immediately as
ume their positions. @,
Tho mosaic cast Of the Cabinet evil
emily delights the Conservative ele-
lent here as much as it provokes the
Extremists. The politicians have been II
v~erslaugheo, and party leaders are left :
in the cold. The only member Of the "
ew Cabinet no is positively objection bl
