pected results, that they are sending
every clerk that can be spared, without
shutting up the Departments, home to
vote. To give an illustration-the In
ternal Revenue Office has Of all the
heads in that Bureau only one left, the
First Deputy Commissioner, Douglass,
who is in charge. The Commissioner;
the Chief of Supervisors; the Second
Deputy Commissioner; the Third De-
puty Commissioner the Chief Com
missioner; the Solicitor and the great
er part ofsthe clerks have gone home.
The work of the Bureau, Ofcourse, will
be at stand still until their return, to
the great detriment of the Government
and individuals having business with
that Bureau. The business of retain
ing power for the Radical is para
mount to any other business, public or
private.
We had a visit this week from Sena-
tor Warner, of Alabama, and the result
of his visit is the State of Alabama has
been made Military District, and the
troops which were sent to North Caro-
| lima to assist Holden in electiOneering,
but which failed of its purpose, have
been ordered to Alabama; and General
S. w. Crawford ordered to command
the State. Senator Warner accOmpa-
MED General CrawfO and stated that
he would resume the canvass which he
had broken off to visit Washington
The State of Alabama has been quiet
and prosperous, and its Radical Gov
enor states that the tales about Ku-
Klux are all false. Yet in the face OF
such declaration the President of the
United States in his own interest, lock-
ing to reelection, sends United States
troops to over-awe the people in their
, elections. The Republican of this city,
in order to smooth over this palpable
outrage on the dearest rights Of the cit
J liens, says, as an apology for Grant,
that "the' President don't intend to
5 bother about Alabama affairs, or in any
other State, beyond his Constitutional
right" | wish the Republican would
define the Constitutional rights of the
: Radicals why they extend from put.
ting State under military control and
carrying elections at the point of the
: bayonet or hanging an innocent wO'
man-Mrs. notwithstanding to Ben
Butler, down to swindling the Govern
ment or putting man three months il
prison for striking a scoundrelly car
G pet-bag Member Of Congress. Th'
i less the Radical journals say about TIN
e Constitution the better. AS stupid al
l. ass as Grant is he must have smiled a
r ,,, y r,;c:Sc and cant which prompt
s. ed such remark.
s The Missouri Democrat, one of tn
IN most influential Radical papers in tn
e, West, pitches into Grant for interior
s, ing in the elections in that State, an
st says, "that they elected Presidel
I'll and not master of the party or
n Pope" Grant thinks that he owns tt
Radicals, body and breaches, and th'
en- the worst disloyalty is to differ wit
e. him politically, and he is going to NAL
k clean sweep of the Missouri Off
n holders, the friends of Senator Schu
In and Gratz Brown, the boilers can6
of date for Governor.
er- Grant don't care SO much for t
res Germans as he did sometime sine
he when he desired to make political ca
e ital out of the war in Europe and
re- catch the German vote. Now he tur

the rabid Radicals of the Drake, Morte
