RADICAL ESTIMATE OF CON-
GRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

The Boston Traveller (RadicaD in its
issue of Saturday, July 16, says: "Con-
gress adjourned yesterday, after session
of almost seven and half months,
during which as much incapacity, imbe-
cility, ignorance and impudence was dis
played in its doings and misdoings and
undoings as ever came from legislative
body, which is saying all that can be said
in regard to its impudence, its ignorance,
its imbecility and its incapacity."
The Chicago Tribune is well known as
the most prominent Radical paper in the
West. 1t finds it to be necessary, in or
der TO satisfy public opinion at the West,
to expose the follies of Grants weak
course. The Tribune deplores the ap-
pointment of q man so little known as
Frelinghuysen TO be Minister to England,
and therefore tells the following plain
truths upon that and other subjects:
''The nomination of soldiers, like Belk-
nap, unknown to the army; of lawyers,
like Robson, unknown to the bar; of
rebels, like Alderman, not mentioned even
in Pollard's Southern History of the War,
and of second-rate politicians like Ere
linghuysen, who have inherited just
enough money to be rich without being
remarkably SO, and have acquired just
enough of a smattering Of scholarship,
law and politics to be neither statesmen,
lawyers nor scholars, can only bring Gre
dit on republican institutions, if at all, by
showing that it needs no brains at all to
run them. We have no faith in the as
sumption which underlies these reiterated
appointments of nobodies, which leave
the most important offices more empty
after they are filled than they were when
they were vacant. If the President thinks
the country will run itself well enough
without any aid from its officers, he is
mistaken.
ga long and laborious session of Con-
cress is just coming TO an ignoble close
without accomplishing anything, mainly
because the initiative given to its financial
LEGISLATION by his own administration con-
sisted of contradictory, laundering and
abortive recommendations, which bothered
and delayed Congress without enlighten-

Gov. ALooRN, of Mississippi, has just
vetoed bill designating one '1Oyal" pa
per in each judicial district to do all the
legal advertising, on the ground that all
the papers in the State are loyal, and he
is not willing to grant subsidies for the
benefit of a few persons. The Macon
(Ga) Telegraph and Messenger says:
''Of all the scoundrelly contrivances
whereby loyal plunderers have essayed to
crafty their hatred and stuff their filthy
pockets at one and the same time, this of
making people advertise in newspapers
whose politics they despise, and which
constantly assail them with the foulest
abuse, bears the palm" This ubiquitous
system was first inaugurated in Tennessee
for the benefit of a number of elee-
mosynary institutions which possessed
neither enterprise nor merit to sustain
themselves. As soon as the Democrats
got control of the State and withdrew this
sustenance, these miserable concerns dis
appeared.

a WASHINGTON special to the Louis
vile Courier states that Pat Woods has
gone to Richmond as a witness in a muir

the District of Columbia, 'You will not

The New York Post, (Radical) char
acterizes the precipitous adjournment Of
Congress as ga rebuff to the President, ="
and adds that che has himself to thank
for the mishap; for the men who snubbed
him yesterday are the same men with
whom he was chosen to act-the prOtec-
tionists and monopolists, who fiattcred
him while they could use him, but no
sooner see him trying to servethe country
and restore the broken fortunes of our
mercantile marine, than they turn their
backs upon him with a cool insolence
which shows that they think themselves

TIE UNION AND AMERICAN has no dis
position to read ''out of its party" the
Banner ''for opposing the judicial
ticket" The work has been done by the
Banner itself, unaided by us; indeed, in
opposition to our repeated efforts to in
duce the Banner TO hoist the ticket nomi-
mated by the State Judicial Convention.
The Banner will have to excuse us
from indulging in its procliviiy for cpl
thets, when speaking of the UNION AND
AMERICAN or Neither our own
taste nor that of our readers has become
sufficiently vitiated to require an indul-
gence in such puerilities.

Portions of North Carolina have been
placed under martial law by Gov. Holden,
and man named Kirk (of Brownlow's
'Goyal militia" fame) and 8 party of
soldiers are arresting men and trying
them by drum-head court-martial. The
civil law is totally disregarded, and bands
of rowing soldiers, white and black, plum
der and insult the people with impunity.
This is what the Radicals call "guaran-
teeing each State republican form of
government.

The Springfield Republican points out
the noticeable fact that several of the
recommendations contained in the Presi-
dents December message sent to Congress
were disregarded, and almost every new
measure which he has specially favored
was lost. This shows that General Grant
has not much hold upon the managers of
the Radical party.

IT is stated that a large Florida planter,
who has some 400 negro hands employed,
constituting a majority of the voters in
his county, has agreed with his laborers
to support one of them for Representa-

Senator. This is free country, and
under Radical rule it appears Chat every
thing is fair in politics. -r ,-r

The income tax is retained for the
benefit of the tax-gatherers, and not for
that of the taxpayer. To maintain a
small army of ofice-holders in their places
this tax, annoying and oppressive, and
expensive in its collection, is retained for
two years and 'no longer" as the law
reads, in mockery of the old laws which
expressly limited the collection of the tax
to the year 1870.

While some of the press OF the State
have nersistently urged that the people of
Tennessee should be entirely non-parti-
san in the selection of our Judicial of
ficers, the Radical press have as persist
emily urged that the Radical voters should
vote for the Radical nominees. To show
Che Radical feeling, we extract the fol

We have majority of Republicans.
Shall we use that majority to our own ad-
vantage, or surrender the position we now
