WASHINGTON, August I, 1869.
The Indications are by no means few of
a dignifed row in the Radical party before
the Inauguration Of the new year. Disaf-
fected Republicans in the camp proclaim
without hesitation their intention to have
certain Sights suffered by them since the
present Administration came into Office
remedied; and promise no end of war when
Congress meets unless ample satisfaction
is obtained for their grievances. Several
prominent members of the House of Repre-
sentatives are enlisted in this fight, and
from their known selfshness and constitu-
tional tendencies to wrangle it may well
be imagined that war has been determined
upon.
But this is only one of the minor details
necessarily consequent upon the disposition
of patronage. Matters of infinitely greater
moment have loomed up to give tone to the
coming "split," and already parties are
organizing for the fray.
The Boutwell, faction, composed of the
ultra Radicals who favor continual proscrip-
ton Of the southern people and the cleo
ton Of Boutwell, to the next Presidency
will undoubtedly present q strong front,
and rely upon their leader to rule the Pre-
sident in Cabinet deliberations if possible.
These have no hesitation in condemning vi
olently the natural turning of q very large
number of their former political adherents
to the paths of Conservatism, and assert
positively that the dissenters " are not to
receive the slightest favor in the Govern
ment patronage now or hereafter. They
,oiU open the fght. Creswcll and Cox they
regard well enough as auxiliarics, but their
reliance is entirely on Boutwell,. Hoar is
also counted upon as their ally in the Cab
met but as he may be requested to resign
ia the falI they dismiss him from considc-
ration in the matter.
These gentlemen are already grumbling
because of the fact that the President has
not entered actively into the Radical cause
in Virginia and Tennessee, and admit that
Texas and Mississippi are drifting into the
same tide of Conservative victory from the
same cause.
1t will be to countcract the legitimate re-
| suits of these southern elections that they
intend skirmshing early in December,
when the disaffection which is bound to
ripen into q party war of considerable di-
mansions will be developed.
The organized effort which has been made
to drive Secretaries Fish and Rawlins and
| General Sherman into an endorsement OF
the schemes to give the South up to Radi-
calsm, despite the popular voice OF the
people of that section, having failed, diff
fercnt game is to be attempted.
It is universally. known that so far as
Grants sentiments are concerned he is with
Sherman, Fish, and Rawlins, on the qucs-
ton Of not interfering in the southern cleo
tons, and in favor of the early admission
of Tie States and the query is, has he the
strength to withstand the attack Boutwell,
s; Co. intend making upon him.
The present party calm forebodeS storm,
and it will come almost before the echo OF
the Speakers gavcl calling the House t.
order in December next has died away.

TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER w1THA BrLL.--Mr.
II. Il. Andrua, who resides few miles from
Toledo, Ohio, met with serious injuries on
Saturday night last while attempting to take
young bull from the pasture to his stable.
The Toledo Bldde says:
1.-The enragcd animal, turning upon him,
knocked him down, and began gOring and
stamping him. Mr.. Andrus made power
ful and determined fight, and, as the bull
attacked him, grappled for the rope at
cached to the ring in his nose, but the rope
becoming entanglcd in the BULBS horns, the
victim failed to get the power he sought
Finally, after having fought the brute some
fifteen minutes, and having three or four
ribs and his collar-bone broken, and being
unable to regain his feet, Mr.. Andrus was
glad to find that the bull had become cx-
haustcd.
sat this juncture he called to boy who
happened to be passing, and. who came
promptly to the rescue, but was unable to
render much assistance. The boy, however,
ran to the house and alarmed the family
One of the household procured a lantern,
and by skilful manGuyring succeeded in
securing the Infatuated bull. 1t was then
found that Mr.. Andrus was so severely in
jured rs to be utterly unable to help him
self, and lie was carried into the house, and
a messenger was dispatched to this city for
medical attendance. On Sunday evening
the unfortunate man was lying in critical
condition, and fears were entertained that
his injuries might prove fatal"

Nh. STEruENs's BooK.-Whcn Davis laid
down the sword, Stephens took up the pen.
1t is not his nature to yield. What the force
of arms could not accomplish, the power OF
reason might yet achieve. The thinker came
TO the rescue Of the soldier. He saw, what
an overpowered and disheartened people
could not see, that the field was not wholly
lost, the debate by no means closed.
He had double work to do. He had to
vindicate himself in the eyes of his coun-
trvmen who doubted his fidelity to their
cause, and he had to vindicatc that cause
in the eyes of the world, which had been
taught to believe that however great the pro-
vocation, the Confederate struggle had no
shadow Of constitutional justification. This
was not light task.
That Mr.. Stephens now has the confidence
and the esteem of his Confederate coun-
trvmcn is matter of fact. He stands
higher this day in their eyes than he ever
stood. That the cause of State rights has
taken new root in the northern mind, and
that Mr.. Stephens book has been the occa-
sion, is also matter of fact. For the space
Of year Mr.. Stephens arguments were
alternately assailed and defended IN lead
ing organ of northern thought, The hound
T0ble, and it is but simple truth to say that,
while the assailants were almost invariably
worsted, the defenders, unwilling at first to
use the whole armory Of Mr.. Stephens, and
to take the positions which he had carefully
selected, were at last forced to do both, and
thus, in manner not altogether strange to
the history of discussions, overthrow their
antagonists, and at the same time became
prisoners Observation-Disclosures OF the
truth.
This is the great intellectual victory at
which Mr.. Stephens aimed. Our cause was
either Just or unjust. If just, 1t was
founded in truth and must live-must en-
due and reassert itself, however often
trampled down. To prove the truth OF Mr..
Jcfierson's discovery and to establish IN the
convictions of men the fact, viz, that a
Government Of associated independent
States, having central authority vested
with delegated powers only, is OF all Gov
erpments the best, Mr.. Stephens has de-
voted the entire strength OF his declining
wears. And he has done, as We believe,
more than he knows. Another struggle
against Capitalization is yet to come and the
battlc-cries, every one, will be drawn from
Mr.. Stephens's book. We pray that that
struggle may be bloodless. We lear that IL
will not.-Nutive Virginian.
