TIE noom OF KaDICAuIsn.

The New York San, edited by Mr..
Chas. A. Dana, who was Assistant Secre-
tary of War under Mr.. Stanton during the
early days of the rebellion, and who is as
decided Radical as is to be found in the
Republican party, has been casting the
political horoscope of that party, now
that the triumph of the fifteenth amend
ment may be taken for granted, and the
negro taken out of politics. 1t sees in
this very fact the seeds of the disease that
will kill the iniquity, and gives its reasons
as follows:
at is out of the final termination of
the slave contest that the main peril of
the Republican party arises. AT the last
Presidential election more than half a
million of men voted for Gen. Grant
solely because they wanted to see the
pending plan of reconstruction carried
through. When this is accomplished they
will feel no special attachment to him or
his party. They are independent citizens,
who never support party merely for the
good it has done. 1t is to these satisfied
Republicans that the party may be in
debted for its early defeat, and even its
ultimate dissolution.
''Then there are the dOctrin0jres of the
party, who differ with its present policy
on the tariff, the currency, the construc-
ton of the constitution, and the gradual
absorption into Congress of an unwar-
ranted share of the powers of the gov
eminent. The cord which has bound all
these classes to the party is broken. Fol
lowing close behind them comes the long
procession of disqualified Republicans,
some of whom are disguised with the adj
minisuation, because Of its nepotism, its
favoritism, theunworthy character of many
of its agents, andits disregard of the claims
to consideration of distinguished members
of the party; while others are indignant at It's
failure to redeem its pledges of economy,
and because of its fawning at the foot
stool of the British throne, and its base
descrliOn of the cause of free govern
ment on this continent. Though the
bond which has united these classes to
the party is not yet severed, it is seri-
ously weakened, and may snap at the
first severe strain.

THE TARIFF.

The Tariff billreported by Mr.. Schenck,
of Ohio, Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means, is beginning to attract
the attention of the people of the West.
1t is so manifestly unjust and oppres-
sive to the people of all the States except
New England and Ohio, that steps are
being taken to attract attention to it and
call forth a popular condemnation. A
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of
Cincinnati, composed of the leading mer
chants of that city, without regard to
party procliyities, has been called to give
expression to its sentiments with refer
ence to the Bill of Mr.. Schenck. 1t is
to be hoped that this action of the Cham
Der of Commerce of Cincinnati will be fol-
lowed by like action by the Boards of Trade
and Chambers of Commerce of st. Louis,
Chicago and the other cities of the West,
and then followed up by anti-Tariff de-
monstrations by the people of the States
uOIln Oh luG OulO- CuCu NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
from people who send Representatives to
Congress and have a right to speak to those
Representative, if they do not cause Mr..
Schenck to pause, win control the votes
of other members who are not yet
pledged to the support of New England
measures. There are two questions up
on which the West should vote as one
mantle Taliff and the Currency. The
New York Times, in speaking of
this new Tariff bill, says that there are the
strongest possible reasons why it should
fail. Considered with reference either to
the requirements of industry, the real in
terests of trade, or the all but unanimous
demand of the people for relief from tax
alton, it is a measure which the House
might without improperly summary
vote down. As it stands, it is au insult
10 the popular intelligence as well as an
invasion Of the popular pocket.

THE C0RBIN LETTER NOT PRO-
DUCED.

The New York Tribune, in speaking
of the completely of President Grant and
his family with the gold speculation in
Wall street, last September, says that
''the examination Of the messenger who
delivered the notable letter from Mr.. Cor
bin to thee President, in Pennsylvania,
conclusively settles the case. He dis
tinctly testifes that the President gave no
answer whatever, and as this was the only
pretext by which it could be claimed that
any connection existed, the committee
have wisely decided that there is no ne
cessity for examining the President or his
family" The Cincinnati Enquirer says
that will not do. The question
is every where asked, with en-
phasis, where is the letter itself, or copy
of it2 Why does not Grant send it to the
Committcc2 Why did not Corbin give
the substance of it? Until this is done
Grant has done nothing to exOnerate him
self. The failure to publish the letter
will make the conviction certain tfat the
President was in league with the ring, and
used his official influence to put up gold,
in order that his family and himself might
be aggrandised and enriched If such a
suspicion, apparently so well founded,
had existed against Andrew johnson, he
would have been impeached and turned
out of Office in thirty days. Every honest
man in Congress will insist upon the pro
duction of the letter, or make Grant take
the consequences of not furnishing it.

GOOD ADVICE.

The Mobile Register, in urging upon
the planters TO pay more attention to the
raising Of corn, says: 'It is an old error
of our planters to suppose that when they
make an immense crop of cotton they
have made so much clear gain; to forget
that when they are without grain they
must rob cotton Peter to pay corn Paul.
And yet this old foe puts on new face
this year, and we hear of immense prep
arations for cotton and very slim ones
for corn. This VIII not do. Corn is
independenCe-it is life. With heav-
Ter grain crops this present year
we could have held back cotton, if need
full, as it would not have been, and kept
the price to any figure we pleased. With
heavier grain crops next year we can do
the same, thus making a smaller cotton
crop equally valuable in money. Ifforeign
buyers feel that planters can hold, they
will not wait TO buy, and the demand will
come. If, on the other hand, they know
we must sell to buy food, foreign buyers
will wait till necessity forces the cotton
upon the market. Vaulting ambition to
produce immense crops overlesps itself ;
and prices are made to tumble by the very
means the planter uses TO enhance the
money value of his production

Hurley's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
best and most palstable form to give to children it
is not surprising that it is fast taking the place Of
al other preparations for wOrms-it being per-
fectly tasteless, and any child will take it..
Messrs. James Ruddle & Co: Gentlemen 1t
give me great pleasure t. say alter using all the
other worm remedies known to me- with but par-
tial relief to my children advised to try Dr..
A. 7. Huriey's, and since using it, my children
have become quite well and healthy; the children
would eat it all the time, it is so pleasant if we
wouldlet them believe it is one Of the best and
safest remedies known, and as such, recommend it
to one and all. JAMES W. TRAVIS.

THE JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT..


In the LaW Almanac for 1870 may be
founda biographical sketch of each Of
the forty-one justices of the Supreme
Court, United States, from 1889 to 1869,
and of the thiIty-one persons who have
heldthe oflceof Attorney General, United
States. These materials are now for the
first time collected and put in shape. They
form not only a curious, but valuable
collection of facts, which will be appre-
ciated now and in future years as material
for history. 1t appears from this work
that there have been thirty-one persons
appointed to the Office of Attorney Gen
eral from 1889 to 1869. There have been
appointed from the State of Virginia, six;
Maryland, five; Kentucky, four; Massa,
chusetts, three; Pennsylvania, three; New
York, two; Connecticut, Delaware, Geor-
gla, Maine, Missurl, Ohio, South Carolina
and Tennessee, one from each. Five OF
these were under forty years of age atthe
timeof appointment; seven between forty
and fifty; ten between fifty and sixty; and
four between sixty and seventy. The
longest term of service was that Of Mr..
Wirt-for twelve years, 1817-1S2s; the
average being less than three years. Mr.
Rush was appointed at the early age OF
thirty-four to this Office, and was only
thirty-seven when appointed Secretary Of

MIR. GLADSrONE'S OPPORTUNITY


If any one wishes 10 appreciate the
progress Of liberal ideas in England, the
New York Times says, it is only neces-
sary to read the Queens speech on the
opening Of Parliament last Tuesday. The
ballot is half promised, the land laws in
Ireland are to be completely modified
there IS to be d bin for the enlargement of
the mcans of national education, the re-
TriOus tests in Universities are TO be abOl-
shed, new rating laws are TO be introduc-
ed. and there is forcshadowed the begin
ming of those measures for the reform of
the land system in England which the
rich have long dreaded, and the poor
long prayed for. This is cOmprehen-
sivc programme for q Ministry to an
n0vncc through the mouth of the Mon
arch. Times have changed since men
were transported for fourteen years for
daring 70 recommend Parliamentary Re
form. or were sent to prison for presum-
ing to suggest that the taxes were some
what burdcnsOme.
The most significant circumstance in
connection with the advance of opinion
and principles is that Radical measures are
proffered not by the representative of
minority in the nation, but by the most
powerful minister which has directed the
affairs Of England since the days of Pitt.
We doubt, indeed, whether Pitt was ever
actually 50 strong as Mr.. Gladstone is at

BRADLEY.
The Hon. Mr.. Bradley was the first to
conceive the brilliant idea of making Gen.
Grant a summer citizen of New Jer-
sey; and the first to suggest the substa
tial gift which has since accomplished
that great purpose. Months have rolled
around since that time-months Of anxiety
not unmixed with doubt and fear TO Mr..
Bradley. The star of hope has burned
dim at times, and, perhaps, he has often
wished his labor and his money back
But now he has his reward. He feels
that the investment was a good one.
On the day before the nomination Of
Mr.. Bradley met Republican Senator
who had Just been visiting the White
House to urge the claims Of another can
didate. He seemed in an unusually bad
humor, and before l had said a word to
him about Grant or the administration he
commenced a promiscuous damning Of
things in general. l asked him what was
the matter. "Oh, nothing" said he,
"only | wish Grant would pay off his
debts some other way than by nomina-
tions to the Supreme bench" He then
proceeded to state that when he entered
