T,foehimr or me Late Election.


There is a lesson taught by the re-
cent elections which the Radicals are
taking closely to heart. as they very
properly should. This lesson is that
the tide of popular sentiment has set
against the administration, and that
with each passing hour its force is in
creasing. Grants popularity, upon
which some few Of his friends have
been so confdentially counting, has
proven a myth. 1t docs not exist
The official patronage Of the Exc
cutiye having been all dispensed, and
there being no more fat crumbs for
hungry expeetants, thousands who
proicssed to recognize in President
Grant the very embodiment Of great
ness and goodness, have come to the
conclusion ,hat, like the darkey's rab-
bit, "he's no great shakes after ALL"
Apart from The doubtful popularity
which the vast amount of patronage
gave General Grant at the opening Of
his administration, it has been very
satisfactorily demonstrated by the
popular voice in every State where
elections have been held, that he main,
tains but small place in the hearts
Of the masses, and tho reasons arc
that his administration has revealed
nothing of decided character, except
positive incflicicncy Its leaders in
Congress have blundercd at every
step Much Of the legislation enacted
through their direction, and approved
by Grant, has been a series of the
most scandalous blunders; in one case,
at least, involving the almost complete
abrogation OF several Of the most i'm
portant departments Of the govern
ment; in another instance prostrating
the business interests OF the country,
and, in other still, giving to the land
grabbers, and other Congressional
Johbers, millions upon millions Of the
public domain. To such gross incili.
cheney as this is due the waning power
of the administration. Its foreign ap-
pointments 90 begging; those already
made are either inefficient, like that
of Motley's, or scandalous and dis
graceful as Sicklcs'. In word, there
has been nothing OF greatness in it,
nor is there likely to be, for the same
weak elements control il now that
controlled it from the beginning -
Grants "no policy" does not suit the
tastes ofthc American people. They
are not of the milk and water order
but full grown men, able to partako
with relish and thoroughly digest
strong meat; and this they demand
In view Of these facts one Of two
things is certain. Grant will not be
the Republican candidate in 1872; or,
| if he is, he will fail to secure n corpor.
ais guard OF electoral votes fer that
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, lndi.
ana, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware

Of the Southern States, will be against

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2l, 1870.
The National Democratic Congress
sional Resident Committee tender their
congratulations to the Democratic
and Conservative voters Of the three
great States of Pennsylvania, Indiana
aud Ohio, for their recent successes
over the corruptions Of Radcalism,
aided, as the Radicals have been, by a
proAigate and desperate administra.
ton at Washington.
In Pennsylvania a gain Of five men
bers of Congress has been secured, the
Radical majority of last year been
largely reduced in each branch of the
Legislature, and there is decided
majority in the State on the popular
vote against the administration. ln
Indiana the State has been redeemed
from further Radical misrulo by the
election of the Democratic and Con-
scrvalivc State ticket, carrying with
it gain of two members OF Congress
and a majority in each branch Of the
Legislature. Economy and reform
are thus made sure TO the people OF
that State in the immediate future.
In Ohio the Radical majority Of two
years ago has been reduced more than
one-halr and the leader Of tho Radical
corruptionists in the present Congress
been defeated.
We now appeal to the Democratic
and Conservative voters Of the States
ia which elections are about TO be
held to make further and more deter
mined efforts in behalf Of a restoration
of an honest administration. We ask
that they disregard threats from any
central source, and pay no attention
in any respect to the proposed use Oi
the military power Of the government
in the local management Of elections
in the States. Let the doors of oui
organization be thrown wide open fol
the admission of all who desire econo
my and honesty in the management
of the public treasury, 50 that The
present burden of taxation may b,
thereby mitigated regardless Of former
issues or past political associations Of
name, and bring about entire cooper
alton among all who seek rcstora
ton of the Union founded upon peace
and good will among their fellow men
and return to strict integrity among
the public officers of the nation.

a court martial is now sitting at
West Point for the trial Of several ca.

preferred by the commandant Of the
post. Among those TO be tried is the
negro cadet James w Smith, on the
charge Of assaulting and wounding

we give the following from the New

"really as follows" Wequotc:
"Whilo the cadet corps were in
camp, large tank Of ice water was
kept for drinking purposes. Cadet
Wilson approached the tank, and,
while STOPPING down to draw some
water from the single spigot, was sud
denly approached by (colorcd) Cadet
Smith, who was one of the guard that
day, and who violently pushed him
away. A scuille ensued, during which
both fell to the ground and rolled over
in the dust, both pummeling each 9th
cr like coopcrs. At this junction the
sentinel rushed up and separated them,
not, however, in time TO prevent Smith
from dealing Wilson an unexpected
blow with cocoanut dippcr, cutting
open the temple aud causing the blood
TO flow proiusely. Smith was at once
placed under arrest. and has contiuu-
cd to be so. Wilson was sent to the
hospital, being carried by two men,
lie is a small man aud never was
known to bo involved in any previous
difficulty, and was very popular in his
class (Plcbs). Smith is much larger
and more powerful person, and is
peculiar for his natural obslinacy,

his color, but from his inconsistent
