A WONDERFUL REToRMATIoN.-A
number Of negroes and white loyal
lists held joint caucus in Philadelphia
on Friday last, To perfect q plan TO
save the State from total loss. They
agreed upon a plan, which is evident
from the following-from tho Press :
"ItiItp.rt of the plan 10 carry th. system
into the most remote and secluded part Of the
State and enlist the entire force of honest and
intelligent men in the rescue Of the country from
the dangers Oi political corruption"
We merely ask whose hen laid the
egg and has hatehed out this "politi-
cal corruption" from which the State
must be rcseued' Has not Cameron,
Forney 4 Co. had control of the
"maehine' for ten years pastg Arc
they likely to improve matters even
with the assistance ofnegroesy Who
among the horde Of political buzzards
who are devouring the State and
breeding political corruption" are
likely to reform. win somo one

brethren' may bo honestly inclined at
presents but if they cobabit and run
one year with the crew al the head
Of public affairs, every mig will be as
corrupt as Cameron or Forney.

RndionI Reprffnffon

What shape will now be given to
the Radical revolt against the law as
declared by the Supreme Court we
cannot say. The attitude of lladical
officials in Pennsylvania is that OF
open resistance to the law, as laid
down by the highest tribunal, ind in
a manner too that affords a sigual in.
stance Of Radical hypocricy. The
party not long since proicssed to be
so bent on paying specie that It stig-
matized as reputation the perfectly
legitimate suggestion that bonds for
which paper dollars were promised
and paper dollars paid, might be prop.
erly discharged in the same paper

the bonds made before the creation oi
legal tender money, not only bonds
that sIipulate for gold shall bc paid
Ia coin bat bonds issued afler the
creation of legal tender money, and
not stipulating for gold shall alsd be
paid in coin. Not to do this was re.
pudiation. That was the cry Of heir
last political campaign. Now, pri.
vatc citizens have at last obtaind a
hearing in tho Supreme Court 1t
decided, first, that where gold was
specially stipulated, gold could bsre-
covered, or the actual value Of t.
This was simply enforcing the special
contract Of the parties. In tho iext
case, they decided that all contricts

in fact, contracts for spccic-a no,ori.

says the Supreme Court, such ION.

ions that tho Radicals have riser in
revolt; have packed the Suprnme
Court, and made an unprecedented
effort TO reverse by that means is f.
nal decision. They now cry paper for
individuals, but gold for bondhol,srs.

sam ana sanbo.

A huge effort is being made Ny The
Radicals through the loyal League
to organize the negroes and press
them into their oath borolng wig
vans, 30 as to mako sure of their
votes this fall. Senator Rovels, Rev
J. NJ. Langston, Fred Douglass, and
few moro choice negroes together
with John W. Geary, ex- Gov. Newell
of New Jersey, and a number OF
white loyalsts, assembled in secret
conchyc in Washington, last week,
for the purpose of putting in opera
ton the machinery TO cast every ne
gro vote for the Radical ticket. We
hope they will succeed, because no
negro in Pennsylvania is qualified, by
nature or education, to vote tho Demo
cratic ticket. The Radical ticket is
the negro ticket, although the white
leaders of that party have for years
demanded that Intelligence and educd-
fion should bo made tho test, in the
exercise of tho elective franchise
The Radical leaders few years ago
howled themselves hoarse over the
"ignorancc ofthe Irish, Ducth, French,
ETC." demanding that they be denied
the elective franchise, because Of
"their gross ignorance" Yet, these
scalliwags, now demand the ballot for
the negro; who is endowed by ma
ture with ignorance and can neither
read or write. The African may prob
ably be reconstructed, by mixing pro
fusely with the "loyal millions and
become intelligent enough to vote the
Radical ticket; but they can never be
elevated enough to vote for Demo
Gratis in Pennsylvania.
We cannot believe that there arc
white men enough, in this State, who
are willing to compromise their race,
coalesce, associate and cohabit with
the negro. and thereby carry the
election. The Radical leaders will
find by the time .he election is over
that while the League has secured
one negro, TO vote their ticket, five
white men will have deserted theiI
ranks and declared for "white man:
government" on this continent. Ne
gro suffrage may do in Africa, or, in
other debauched sections Of tn,
Globe, but it will never succeed il
Pennsylvania. Mark that, Samho
and We white scalawags who think
yourselves no better than a negro, and
are intoxicating into the minds of your
innocent children the story Of equali
lty! Look at Africa, Mexico, Central
and South America, where two races
amalgamatey What is the result
A man that will not heed the lessoni
taught by the violation of Gods Law
in these sections, cannot be made
wise and must be allowed TO follow
his taste and final extinction by
committing social suicide.

the evil will become chronic, and
/ finally will require that 'eroie teat-
ment which involves force and b3od-

is intensified almost to the extent OF

revelations (of corruption) which are
vouchsaled to tho public are but .iso-
lated instances of the decentralization
which exists, and that the poplc
