THE POLITICAL PROSPECT.

In the result of the late elections
there is a sure indication that the
tide is turning, and that the doom
of the Radical party is sealed.
California gave General Grant five
hundred majority. 1t now elects
the Democratic ticket by twelve
thousand. In Maine General Grant
had a majority of twenty-eight
thousand. The majority over all
now is eight thousand. In Virginia,
despite all the efforts Of the admin
istration, the Democrats and Con-
servatives carried it by twenty
thousand. In Tennessee, where
Grant received nearly thirty thou
and majority, and where
the power and influence OF
the administration were thrown
into the scale in favor of the Radi-
cal candidate for Governor, that
candidate was defeated by sixtyp
five thousand majority. The anti
Radical portion of the citizens Of
Mississippi and Texas are making a
desperate fight against not only the
Radical party but the Grant admin
istration, and they feel confident Of
success. A Conservative victory in
those States will break the back
bone of Radicalism in the South
In Ohio and Pennsylvania the
Democrats are working manfully
for the redemption of their respect
i've States from Radical rule, and
they claim that they will triumph
The political skies look bright ant
cheerful, and give promise of al
early redemption from the rule o
he spOilsmen.

WENDELL PHILLIPs, the man who
furnishes the brains for the Raids
calls, is very much disploascd at
Grants disposition to run about
over the country, and calls upon
him to resign the position he has
shown himself unfit TO fill. lie
says:
Rational recreation in itself is good,
and sometimes very important. Ii he
absolutely needs, and is likely to con-
tinue to need so much, he ought, in the
present condition Of affairs, TO resign, that
the country may have what 1t very
much needs, a President in fact as well
as in name. No thoughtful observer of
the tendency Of affairs during the past
six months, but feels that the piIotless
drifting of this summer has been towards
dangers with which a little later it would
be most difficult to grapple,'
Grant will not respond favorably
to this demand of Phillips. Gener-
ally speaking, he is not impractica~
BILE in the hands Of the Radicals
it is not often he refuses to DO what
thew command him to do. But he
is not going to give up so good a
thing as the Presidency. Let the
Radical spirit, like Macbeth's in~
junction to Bapquo's ghost, "take
any shape but that, and Grant
will do its bidding.

ANDREw IOuNEON.

We published yesterday the en-
dorsement Of ex-President johnson
by the Tennessee State Convention
Of June 9, 1868, which declared he
had rendered himself worthy Of
the highest mark of confidence that
may be bestowed upon him." At
the National Convention which as
sembled in New York on tho 4th of
July of last year the name of Presi-
dent ] ohnson was presented by the
Tennessee delegation as acandidate
for the nomination to be made by
that convention. Though not nomi
mated, he was fully endorsed by the
convention, as will be seen by refer
ence to the platform adopted by the
convention. 1t declared and re
solved: .
"That the President Of the United
States, Andrew johnson, in exercising the.
power Of his high Office in resisting the
aggressions Of Congress upon the constitu-
tional rights of the States and the people,
is entitled 10 The gratitude Of the AmT'cd''
people, and in behalf the Democratic party
we tender him our thanks for has pairs
otic efforts in that regard" sail .-.-a
We have thus given the express
sion Of the State and of the nation
al conventions relative 10 the servi-
ces of President ] ohnsOn in his eff
forts to preserve, protect and de-
fend the constitution, What has
he done since then to have wars
ranted the fierce assaults which have
been made upon him within the
past few weeks by those who were
then his supporters The great
struggle whichh had been carrying
on three years against q
despotic Congress was watched
with the deepest interest
and anxiety by the oppo-
nents of Radicalism throughout the
Union, and especially in the South
ern States. TWAS notthen regard
ed by the people of Tennessee and
the South as selfish and querulous
defence of "my policy" 1t was not
then regarded as q fruitful
cause to provoke the jeers
and the sneers of the opponents of
Radical rule. 1t was as declared
by tho Tennessee convention a
struggle Sin a period of trying and
unprecedented embarrassment to
preserve, protect and defend the
| Constitution against the assaults
of revolutionary faction" by
which he rendered his name illus
trious," learned the gratitude OF
the American people, and rendered
himself worthy of the highest mark
of confidence that may be bestowed
| uDOn him"

san. A. Il. STEvYAaI's VIEWS

A World" reporter having
waited upon Mr.. A. T. Stewart, the
eminent dry good merchant (wh ON
President Grant nominated as
Secretary of tho Treasury, to know
what effect he thinks the recent
operations in Wall street will have
on the commercial interests Of the
country, says Mr.. Steward re-
sponded as follows; '-t = =.
81 cannot regard them as otherwise than
disastrous to our commercial interests.
In the frat place they interfere with and
confuse our values by rendering uncertain
the price of gold. But to this there is
added another reason in the demoralizing
effect which it must produce"
"What, in your opinion, has been the
effect of the policy by which during the
last six months, but especially during the
recent crisis, the sale of bonds TO purchase
gold has been dictated?' ...s OBJ. ...
81 disapproved of the policy of selling
gold and purchasing bonds with the pro-
ceeds, believing az l do that it will never
lead US, as it probably is meant to lead u,
to specie payments. Such policy would
not lead US to such a result In ten years
no, not in a hundred. The purchase Of
| bonds with gold gives TO the speculatora
means to carry on their operations. This
| policy is unquestionably of great benefit
to those who have no means of their own
While solvent men will entirely oppose
this policy, it will be approved Of by thoee
who are shaky."
These are Mr.. Stewards own words
| Taken down from him and written in his
| presence, they were read to him, rewritten
out and revised, and in a phrase or two
| toned down. .--..| d.. ..

The New York Tribune, and its
Nashville echo, the Press and
Times, declared few days ago that
Grants administration had cost the
country SlS5, 100000 less in one
year than Andrew Johnson's. Now,
Mr.. COMMISSIONS Delano, of the
Internal Revenue Department,
good Radical authority declared,
in a speech in Pennsylvania, few
days ago, that the Indebtedness of
government had been reduced 81 =
100000 O0-cleven hundred mil
lions--in the four years since the
close of the war. OF this sum,
General Grant only claims, through
Mr.. Boutwell,, about S50,O0O,0OO;
SO that there remains to the credit
of Andy Johnson, according to
Mr.. DeIano, $l,OjO,O0O,OOO. II
will be seen that Delano and the
Press and Times don't agree; but
that is the fault Of Delano.

GRANTANDTuEg0L RINC

Charges are being made that the
President was interested in the gold
gambling last week which brought
ruin to so many. We shall be very
slow to believe such q charge. But
the President has unfortunately lost
very considerably in the esteem of
the American people by his inattenr
ton to business, his acceptance of
gifts of all sorts and sizes, the ap-
pointment to office Of the givers,
and his official faYoritism to his
relatives. His brother-in-law, the
husband Of his sister, Miss Jessie
Grant, was in the gold speculation,
which, with the assertions Of Fisk
that he has letters from the Prcsi-
dent on the subject, may give rise
to the imputations on the President.
We hope for the honor of the ma
ton that there may be no truth in
them.

THE worst enemies of Andrew

THE worst enemies Of Andrew
Johnson never accused him Of
being influenced in his action by
gifts or gratuities. No American
statesman has ever been freer from
the imputation of pecuniary inhu~
ence. No mans horses or houses
or lands ever came into his posses
sion except by legitimate purchase.
The impeachers tried to injure him
in the public estimation because of
his ordering the Southern Railroads
which had been seized during the
war, to be turned over to the stocks
holders, but they ANONYMOUSLY
failed.

GOLD GAMBLING.

Senator Wilson has become little
alarmed as the crashes and smashes
made by he gold gamblers.
Hence he has intimated his inten-
ton to have the business stopped
by act of Congress. A writer in
the New York Herald thinks that
The honorable Senator does not
know what he is talking about.
This writer thinks that Mr.. Wilson'S
law will make the prices of gold
higher and have a tendency to
throw all the gold transactions
into the hands of the few large and
wealthy gold houses. He says
4" The best way isto let it alone and
it will work its own cure"
We suggest another cure for
the evil. Make the greenbacks
what the law declares they
shall be for al: debts public
and private, excepS duties and
interest, a legal tender. Then
change tho law requiring the duties
and interest tt. be paid in coin, and
let all be collected in greenbacks.
This would destroy the demand for
gold, and do more TO break up gold
gambling than all the penal laws
which Congress can pass. And there
is no more reputation in this than
there is in compelling bond,holdera
to take four per cent. interest in
stead of six as now allowed by law,

FIVE hundred millions in gold
was the sum of the Wall street sales
Of that terrible Friday. This
amount Of gold, upon a rough esti-
mate, allowing sixteen dollars to
an ounce, and sixteen ounces to the
pound, and two thousand pounds to
the ton, and one ton to each cart,
would require thousands carts to
move it; and allowing twenty feet
to each horse and cart the string of
carts would be about eight miles
long. No wonder Wall street col
lapsed.

GENERAL SHERMAN announces that
the clerks in the War Department,
irrespective Of party may go
home and vote. This would be a
nice piece of generosity on the part
of Sherman, only the clerks in the
department are not irrespective Of
party, they ara all Radicals.

GRANT has at last defined his po~

A WRITER in the New York World
addresses an appeal to the "Man-

Association" urging the sending
over of white emigrants from Great
Britain to purchase Southern lands
and grow cotton. The advice is
very good, but the cotton lords are
too intently bent upon growing
cotton elsewhere.
