IN reading Northern papers and
kilograms from that land of sainted
puritnnism, we have come to the
well considered conclusion that there
are ten cases that should be desig-
mated "Radical stealing" TO one,
that can be, truthfully, headed
Southern outrage" II is conceded
that there are enough OF cadet thieves
Who, II expelled, would reduce Con-
grcss below a quorum. II is equally
true that II every. thieving office
holder were turned out, the govern
ment would come 10 a stand-still for
want of agents, rs well rs for want
Of officers toappoint them. And the
most disgusting feature of this sys-
tematized depravity, is the fact that
il is only the thieves who harp upon
reconstruction of the South.

GRANT appoints Custom House of
ticers, and Congress orders the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to appoint fifty
three special agents to watch them.
The appointees get salaries and.per-
qnisites-if, we may thus soften the
word stealing-and the special agents
get pay for watching the rogues.
This is one Of the beautiful features
of cur financial system and happy
illustration of the manner in which
Radicalism fieeces the dear people,
who will soon have no fleece left, ex-
cept the wool pulled over their eyes.

NEW York, April 26.-It is now
well understood fact that Gen. Jor-

army, will in few days reach ourcity.
The reasons that move him are that

years term of service, and that ex

ginning of the year the Junta sent
out 10 Cespedes copy of the contract

THE GOOD AND FOL.
-iFhs LOWING THE EVIL.


1t Is n little singular that whilst
our country. prospered, almost mi
raeulously, was, respected for the
wisdom of its government, and hon
ored for its eyen- handed justice to all,
the statesmen Of England could see no
good in It. But now that ,lespotism
has succeeded liberty; integrity has
given place to the grossest corruption,
and the line of safe precedents has
been abandoned for lawlcss and reck
less experiments in government, re-
'ligion and our social relations, Bright,
Gladstone, Mill and Others, infiu-
enced by strange sympathy with
vice and error, or by that madness
which sometimes attacks nations rs
well as individuals, are taking the
first steps towards the overthrow of
the British Government. hi'.
We do not undertake to say that
women cannot vote as intelligently
MS men, in this country, or in Eng
land, but for the sake of their own
purity and happiness, for the sake Of
society and all its refinements and
endearing associations we deprecate
the experiment as contemplated on
both sides of the Atlantic. In Eng
land, there are no negroes, Indians
or Mongolians to vote, hut they will
find there, as we have here, that the
government will become unstable in
proportion to the extension of suf.
frage, and If that of England can sur.
Ivive it longer than ours did, it will
he due to the fact, that there all ma
tions and races will not, as here, be
vested with the dangerous privilege
Man seems to be so constituted that
he becomes FESTIVE under the condi
tions which contribute most to his
happiness, and eager for change
without regard to the dangers of in
novation upon well settled princi.
pies and well tried policy. This res
tiveness, long dormant in England
for England's good, has become man
ifest, and is represented by Bright &
Co., and few fast women who fine
their prototypes in the Summers ano
Philipses, the Lucy Stones and Cad,
.Stantons in thisl land of "isms" which
eliminate in ,liabolism as certainly
as vice tends to crime.
The British Government whicl
has long stood as if founded upon thu
rock of ages, IS beginning to totte
and will, ere long, lie PROSTATE:
splendid ruin wrought by anarch.
under the guise of liberty-a sad bu
eloquent commentary upon the de
lpravity of man in general, and o
twould-be statesmen, in particular.

SAN DOMINGO TREATY.-The friends OF
the San Domingo Treaty now claim that it will
be ratified by q two-thirds vote. It had been
admitted on ali hands from the time the treaty
was laid before the Senate until quite recently
that there was not ghost of chance for its
ratification. President Grant, descending from
his high position repeatedly visited the Capital
and actively engaged in lobbying for this pet
measure of his. which has been denounced by
the press of both political parties as Swim
ding scheme" to rob the public treasury.
What influence has been brought to bear upon
Senators to bring about such change of opin-
ion in those who bitterly opposed and denounced
the treaty as "job" and "swindle," is a
matter of conjecture, but we can safely as
sumo that money has been freely used, and that
the San Domingo "rrg" includes many of
those whose votes are to decide the rejection
or ratification of Mr.. Grants little West India
speculative job.
