THE NEGIECTED VICTORY

The st. Louis Republican insists that
the Radical trumpeters are not doing jus,
tice to their party, inasmuch as they have
failed to proclaim one of that party's sig
nal victories. In all the important cleo
tons held this spring, except one, the
Radicals have been beaten. They were
beaten in Connecticut, they were beaten
in Oregon, they were utterly routed in
New York. They were victorious only
in one case, and in that one they have
strangely forgotten to rejoice. The Re
publican alludes to the election in the
first district, South Carolina, where Radi-
cafprinciples triumphed in the success of
Mr.. Whittemore by over eight thouand
majority. No jubilant head lines have
proclaimed this inspiring victory of Rad
icalism sin the State where the rebellion
began" No resonant welcome has been
extended to the faithful champion of
Radical principles to whom the party is
indebted for this gratifying achievement.
What is the explanation of this silence of
the party over an event that should evoke
rejoicings, salutes and typographical
pyramids W ...- --.

MAKING ROOM FOR MORE

The Grant family seems to be the
most numerous of any in this country.
Every few days since the Inauguration Of
Gen. Grant we hear of a member of this
family getting an office. The latest in
stance is located in Chicago. 1t is stated
that some months ago, a stranger all
travel stained, with carpet-bag in hand,
was set down in the streets of Chicago,
and by diligent inquiry, soon made his
way to the postofiee. The self-assmauce
he exhibited when he entered the Office of
the Postmaster, excited the curiosity of
the employees, some of whose heads
rested uneasily on their shoulders. They
were alta loss to determine whether the
newcomer was detective or the Post
er-General. But their curiosity was
destined soon to be satisfied. Sundry
changes in the position of clerks took
place, to make room for a new clerk in
the registry department, who proved TO
be none other than the stranger, one Har-
ry Runge, cousin of the President. To
which of the numerous branches of the
great Grant Dent family he owes his orr
gin the historian does not relate, nor has
the most diligent search revealed the
place honored by his nativity, boyhood
and manhood. Meanwhile, Harry Runge,
conscious of his own importance, follows
the even tenor of his way, which
way has not always proved agreea-
BILE to his fellow clerks. Soon after he
took charge, am informed, lady clerk
in the same department insisted on being
changed to another room with such iudig-
nant earnestness as to compel the post
master to accede to her wishes. Il was
given out at the advent of this cousin of
the Generals, that his appointment to
position in the postoffice was only tenn
porary, and that he would soon be given
an important Office in the revenue service.
But that plum has not yet fallen into his
clutches.
The political pressure brought to bear
on Col. Eastman, the Postmaster, by this
very numerous Grant family, put a
brother of Gen. Rawlins into snug
place also. Bat to make way for him,
lady had TO be removed, thus reversing
the orde Of woman's rights. Doubtless,
il is very pleasant reflection Tor stall

GENERAL AMNESTY was favored by the
Radicals of Delaware in their late State
Convention, indicating that they have a
better knowledge of the way to ''peace"
than many of their party In the resolu-
ton in favor of amnesty they express the
hope and belief that the time is near at
hand "when all of the restrictions and
acknowledgements imposed upon persons
engaged in the rebellion may be removed
without danger to the peace of society. >
The time is not only near, but is now and
has long been fully at hand for the re-
moval of all disfranchisements, and this
removal would have taken place had not
the Radicals feared that some of these
''Rebels" would get offices to which thew
Jay claim as belonging to themselves.
