RADICAL CoRRUPTIoN.-One of the many evidences
of the utter want of honesty in the Radical Congress
is the fact that members fearing tariff bill iDju-
rous to the interests of Eastern monoposts might be
pushed through should the session be proracted dis
regarded the Presidents message suggesting that they
remain to take some action in regard to foreign ship
ping. Common decency and official respect to Pres
ident of their own party could not induce them to
tend the session. In the Senate, Mr.. Chandler called
up his bill to authorize the purchase of foreign built
vessels the tariff men did not even let it come to a
VOTE but killed it by talking against time to the end
of the session. In the House majority of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to which the Presidents
message had been referred reported against any re-
lief There also the parliamentary tricks of the mo-
nopoists prevented vote before the hour came for
the speaker to that the session had ended.
Members rushed to the cars in hot haste to leave for
home, and thus action taken upon matter
deemed of vital importance to the commercial marine
of the country.

TBs RAFr.-In view of the fact that St. Louis and
other Western cities are becoming deeply interested
in the Red river trade, would it not be the part OF
wisdom for them to lend their influence in removing
the raft? 1t is probable that bill asking an appro
priaon for this purpose will be introduced at the
next meeting of Congress, in which event Western
members might greatly aid in its passage and thus
zen up country OF unsurpassed fertility and pecu.
fairly adapted to the culture of cotton, and which
would prove profitable customer to the West. This
object is certainly worthy the attention of Western
papers, of whatever political faith.

FORCE OF EARLY TRAIsrse.-Our readers will re-
member that the President disregarded Gen. Han
cocks claims to preerment upon the ground stated
in letter from Gen. Sherman, that he had been
treated discoureousy by that officer The latter SUBJ
sequently wrote to Ex-Governor Flanders, Mayor of
New Orleans, asking him to state what actually occur
red on the occasion referred to- Flanders replies that
he conVersng with the President in front of Jay
Cookies Bank, when Gen. Hancock passed-that the
greeting both sides free natural and courteous
though as they thirty feet apart, attempt
made to extend the hand by either. This testimony is
overwhelming coming, as it does, from a strong po
litical and personal enemy of Gen. Hancock by whom
he was removed from the Gorernorship of this State
The Presidents charge that Gen. Hancock re.
fused to take his hand when he extended it. This in
eident goes to show the force of early training. In
the early youth of Ulysses, Grant pere impressed il
upon him that he had rather he would tell him thou
sand lies than cut down one of his cherry trees.

The State Department at Washington has received
dispatch from Mr. Hoffman, acting minister at Paris,
stating that both France and Prussia will respect the
treaty of 1856, which establishes the principle that
the goods of an enemy free from seizure under
neutral fag unless they cortrabaud of war, and
neutral goods not contrabaud not liable to capture
even on board an enemys ship. At the time of this
treaty, the United States, unwilling to renquish the
right Of prvateering, refused to become party to
the compact though this refusal will have no bearing in
the present contest.
1t would, however, be very advantageous to the
merchant marine of this country, if the provisions of
the treaty were dsregarded by the begerents for in
that event it would reap the fruits of the carrying
trade of both countries, to considerable extent-ust
