RADICAL FENANCIERS.

The entire Radical press gae jubilant
at the triumph of their financiers. The
New York Tribune says:
Enhance Ministers often evince ingen-
uity, talent, even eloquence, in expatiat-
inc on the limitless resources whence
payment is ultimately TO be made of the
sums they seek presently TO borrow; but
no manipulation of figures, however
dexterOus, can rival the cOgency of the
naked fact that we are paying off our
debt at the rate of one hundred millions
per annum. The dullest brain
can comprehend that. And no
other single circumstance has put
so much heart into the friends of our
present National Administration as the
fact, which malignity can no longer deny
nor sophistry obscure, that it is weekly
buying up and paying for the evidences of
our National Debt Let the news reach
a party of loggeTs, buried deep in the
pine forest of the Northwest, 1.-THE Adj
ministration has reduced the National
Debt by $4,000, 900 during the last
month" and a cheer rises spontaneously
to the lips of every Republican who hears
the glad tidings, while the Copperheads
skulk silently into the brush, hoping that
next months bulletin may be better for
them, because worse for the country.
Stop, Mr.. Greeley, and let US see if
your glorifcation of "our present ma
tional Administration" is altogether de-
served. Admit, for the sake Of argu-
ment, that you are paying off the ma
tional debt at the rate of one hundred
millions of dollars per annum. That
is not satisfactory to the people. They
complain, in the first place, that the Taxa
ton by which you pay that amount is in
supportable. That there is no necessity

pie. They are growing weary Of the govern
mental oppression which is ruinous to Us
and injurious 10 them. This change in
the popular sentiment is seen by those
proscriptiye politicians, aud they are re-
resorting to every possible effort TO pre-
vent the political reaction. Purchased
Misrepresentation is one of the tricks of
the trade We find in the Boston
Traveller, Radical, the following ex-
tract from a letter purporting to have
been written from some point in the
South by Democrat:
eff anybody wants TO get modern De
mocracy knocked out of him, Just let him
come South and stay one month, and If
he can find any of it left he may have my
head for foot ball, on call. The masses
of the whites are ignorant and brutal. You
might as well attempt kindness with lot
of Gagged hyenas, as with the masses of
the Southern people. Nothing out of the
power of the general Government, supple
mented with the ballot in the hands of the
freedmen, led by Northern men of intelli
gence, can keep them in tolerable public
order for generation to come. Were il
not for this, murder, arson and all kindred
crimes would run riot all through the
South. The blacks, of course, are rapidly
improving. They are very anxious to OBJ
tain education, earn their own living and
keep their contracts. The white owners
of the land take advantage Of them in
every way in making contracts, and then
force them to the strictest compliance"
We do not propose to make any reply
10 the charges here made. Anything that
we might say would be said TO be largely
made up of the lingering leaven of rebel
lion. We find the paragraph above quoted
noticed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
we append the notice which that paper
gives of the writer and his charges. The
Enquirer says:
To call the fabricator of that stuff a
scoundrel would be unjustifiable tlattery.
He is simply an idiot, of a very aggra-
waited type, indeed; and has doubtless

sheep: it is quite impossible to suspect
him of intelligence enough to capture any
more highly educated animal. If the
| Southern Radicals have not in their ranks
more capable liars than the one VIC have
quoted, it behOOves their allies in the
"loyaln States to send down reinforce
ments, from their superintendent stock,
without delay. Radical readers here
abouts are not overburdened with wit or
knowledge, but we do them the justice to
believe they are too intelligent to be
gulled by mendacity so stupid and trans
parent. There is not one among them
who has been in the habit of scanning
the columns of the loyal newspapers for
the past half dozen years, but knows that
no Democrat could have written the rub
| bish we have quoted.

HOW TENNESSEE Is N7ESREPRE.
SENTED.

HOW TENNESSEE Is WISEEPRE-
SENTED.
The following from the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
one of Forney's "two papers, both
daily" shows how the Northern heart is
fired against the people of this State:
"The condition of Tennessee, since the
Rebels got possession through the folly of
the Republicans, is deplorable. Gentle
men writing from Nashville state that
when the news of the death of the illus
triOus Stanton reached there, last Friday,
it was the signal for the letting loose of
the worst passions. 1t made the Christ
mas a Rebel carnival The most horrid
blasphemies of the great patriot were
mingled with threats against his friends.
The article of the Memphis AU0Ldnche,
the leading Democratic paper of the
State, on the 25th, rejoicing over
the the death of Stanton, is the
most disgusting and profane outburst we
have read since the war, and shows how
completely Tennessee has fallen under the
Rebel control What can Congress do to
relieve the people thus betrayed? That
is the practical question. We see men
elected 10 Office who are disfranchised by
the fourteenth amendment, and when so
electedpreparing to disfranchise those who
are really entitled to suffrage 1t was in
vain to tell the Democratic leaders that if
they persist in this course, if their con-
vention DISTINGUISHES the COlOred man,
and puts disqualified Rebels into power,
Congress 1CjU find some 1Cdy to protect
the people. The answer in nearly every
case was TO defeat every man who took
this view. Under such terrorism as this,
the Union people of Tennessee are
in greater danger than they were
during the war, and unless shield
ed by Congress, they will have 10
fly to some other quarter. The whole
Tennessee Congressional delegation, with
one exception, Mr.. Hawkins, have ad-
dressed q memorial to Congress setting
forth the facts of the case, and this me
mortal has been endorsed by Senator
Brownlow, notwithstanding his support of
Senter for Governor. All sides in the
Republican party take the one ground.

monious before they believed in the pro-
fessiOns of their enemies,
This is simply a confession that "Con-
gress will find some way" to put the Rad
icals in power again in this State, for that
is precisely what Congress is urged to do.
The gentlemen who write from Nash
vile as indicated by this correspondent are
at least possessed Of a lively imagination.
Because such men are not treated as gen
tlemen, they howl about unrepentant
Rebels, and about the terrorism - that
prevails in Tennessee. Give us an hon
est, open foe, and we know how TO
meet him, but it is Natural that our Peo-
pie should bear no love or even respect
for the Shiny reptile who strikes in the
dark

which requires that the debt shall
be paid off so rapidly; that ii is unneces
sarily ana crushingly taxing the en-
ergy and, industry Of the country. Stick
a pin there, and reflect and amplify.
But further, Mr. Greeley The people
complain that it is an outrageous swim
die upon them by your Government
financiers that with the same amount
of taxes you DO not pay from
one hundred and twenty 10 one hun
dred and forty millions of dollars per an
mum, instead Of one hundred millions.
They complain that your linanciers have
paid gold where the law only required
them TO pay greenbacks, thus compelling
the people TO lose the difference between
greenbacks and coin, ranging from twenty
to forty-fye cents ON the dollar. Again,
the people complain that they are taxed
beyond endurance, while tie Government
bondhQlder receives their earnings in pay
ment of the Indebtedness TO him, while
his capital goes unlaxed. The Radical
fnanciers must improve or walk the politi
cal plank,

THE TELEcnApIrrC sTREKE.

1t was announced in our columns yes
terday, that the Geographic operators Of
the Western Union line throughout the
North were on strike because of the re-

tinued to extend until it now prevails
throughout the country. This is the

deavored to supply the deficiency as far

the people of the South deserve andwill re-

GRANT is reported much dissatisfied
with the action Of the Senate in regard TO
Hoar's nomination. He says that some
Of the Senators who recommended the
appointment were foremost in opposition
in the Senate. This would indicate that
they had purposcly brought the Attorney
General out of his intrcnchmcnts to kill
him off. Some Of Hoar's friends are
urging the President not to withdraw his
nomination. They claim that the Senate
would confirm him 20 that position, as it
