A Radical Threat,

Some ofthe RI dical leaders are getting keen
for another civil war. Their stealings have
about run out, and the most intense of them
want to get up another fight III order for q
better chance to again plumber the treasury
Among the Washington dispatches recently
We find the following:
The radicals have decide to force through
Congress the Conkling Naturalization bill,
which was debated in the Senate on yester-
day and set for a vote on Saturday next
When it comes over TO the House the previous
question is to be moved on it, but the Demo
Gratis are forewarned. In the discussion yes
terdly the Radicals threatened civil war if a
Democrat is elected President. Sir, l say
here y said Mr. Drake, that whenever the
time comes that this nation shat see clearly
that the voice Of It's legal yot S has been
overthrown by the vote in the city Of New
York, then large portion of the voters will
raise one man and declare that the man
elected to the presidency by that fraudulent
vote shall never take his seat such and
tLen will come the first real civil war in thi:
country"

Taking and Doing.

Congress has been nearly seven months in

its predecessors. 1t has shed oceans of ink,
printing and writing; filed huge volumes of
the Congressional Globe; made promises
enough TO excite several millions of Pleasures
Of Hope ;" secured negro suffrage and the 18th
Amendment; refused white suffrage and gen.
eral amnesty; talked an ocean of words about
reduced taxes, but SO far reduced them not a
dollar; debated the abolition of The franking
privilege, and left it just where it is violated
the most solemn promises of five years since,
in regard TO the income tax; voted away mil
lions upon millions of the public domain with
out consideration; voted out members with
immense majorities simply because they were
Democrats, and put Radicals in their pla ces

virtuous deeds, and then wonder at the
supreme impertinence which questions
the immaculate integrity Of the member
from Lowell As the champion of the
extrapest doctrine Of State rights, But
Ter, III the Charleston Convention, voted
until voting was useless, for the most ultra
representative of that doctrine; and when
the schism which he assisted to create ter
minated in open war, Butler was among the
first to repudiate his former views. denounce
his former friends, and enter the field to fight
against the very principles which he him
self helped to declare and confirm. None but
consistent patriot could have done this.
As commander a. New Orleans, Butler
ruled over the conquered city as Davoust
ruled at Berlin, as Haynau ruled in Huns
gary. He spread wholesome fear among
the rebellious women and children; be
auartered himself in the best rebel houses;
be took charge Of the choicest specimen. Of
rebel silver, and the most precious rebel
heir LOOMS he left name in New Orleans
which Will be remembered as long as the
Mississippi flows to the Gulf. None but a
Christian and a gentleman could have done
this! As a chief in the division Of the
army of the Potomac, Butler sacrificed
several thousand of his men, if not several
millions Of dollars, in digging the Dutch
Gap Canal, which angwcred no other pur-
pose than to serve as q convenient and
commodious grave for the laborers en-
ployed therein. lie also infused discipline
into his troops by putting in irons those
who ventured to doubt his strategic ability.
None but thorough soldier could have
done these things! While Grant was only
general Butler reviled and prosecuted
him; when he became President, Butler
fastened to Eek his hand and eat dirt
None but man Of the highest sense of
personal honor and dignity could have done
thisl As a member of Congress, he has
acted as the chosen friend and advocate Of
Whittemore and Bullock. He opposes the
Bingham amendment that Bullock reign
in Georgia may be prolonged indefinitely,
and will stand god father to Whittemore
should the House consent to re>baptize
/ him. None but an accomplished states
man, a saint in whom there is no guile,
could do all this!
| And now, with such achievements as
| these pleading for him, the House aares to
investigate Butler because he will not in
form them where few hundred thousand
dollars belonging to orphans have gone.
What an objectionable insult is this! Do
they think Butler would steal? And if he
stole, do they think themselves shrswd
enough to catch him? After this investi

PUT OUT THE LIGHT.--General Grant is
perfectly right and reasonable i'll dreadng
nothing so much as light let upon his admin
istration, his party and his party's legislation.
Radiating light has been the chief function of
David A. Wells, special commissioner of rev.
enue His own opinions have varied for the
light and information he has spread abroad
have illuminated his own mind as much as
anybody's Beginning as protectionist, the
facts Of his business has been to gather and
interpret have illuminated him into a free
trader, The change wrought or partially
wrought upon himself is the change he is con.
stantly operating in other honest minds
throughout the United States For MIR
Wells character and conduct Lave always
been such as to convey to every honest person
the complete conviction of his dislnterested-
ness, his sincerity, and his intelligence.
General Grant cannot afford to have Mr.
Wells continue to let in light upon the extrava.
gance Of his administration, the fatuous stu.
pidity of its financial policy, the criminal
wholesale and retail plundering of the pro-
tectionists. Therefore he lets Mr. Wells and hi.
office go by the board, and on the instant Gov.
Hoffman, Democratic Governor, invites Mr.
Wells, though a Republican, to be a commits
siOner to revise the laws for the assessment
and collection of taxes in the state of New
York. General Grant, by his act, says turn
down the light; let the thieves and the protec.
zionist plunderers have peace.
Governor Hoffman, by his act, says turn on
the light. In this State, at least, let the bur.
dens Of taxation be lightened and justly laid

The Butler Investigation,

Congress is suffering under one of its
periodical attacks of honesty, and, as usual,
this disease takes the shap, of investlga~
ton committees There have been all sorts
and sizes of investigation the last four
months we have had an investigation of
eadetshlp speculations, an investigation of
the Frecdmen's Bureau, an investigation
Of diverse and sundry charges of bribery
and corruption, an investigation of some
poor newspaper correspondent who got
more news than was thoughi best tor him
to hear, and an investigation of the Do
mingo business, to say nothing Of Sumner
stated investigations Of the oppressed At
rican. Now, while we cordially approve
these investigations, as not only indicative
of healthy moral sentiment among oul
law makers, but absolutely necessary ac>
compartments of legislation IS long as the
present party ale IN power, yet they ought
not to lay themselves liable TO hostile crit
icism by taking too wide range, and
striking at public characters whose antece-
dents and position en.itle them to exemp
ton from such ante mortem examinations.
1t is well enough to weight the actions and
adjust the debt and credit Of some men who
are not altogether above suspicion but
when the Congressional microscope is
brought to bear upon the choicest Of our
jewels for the purpose Of detecting minute
flaws invisible to the make eye, then sure
ly it is time to stop. And the hating point
las been reached already The House Of
Representatives has actually ordered a
Committee of Investigation on Butler,
Benjamin F. Butler. of Massachusetts,
This gentleman, ii seems, has been serving
IN the double capacity OF president and
treasurer of the National Soldiers and

had bin passed appropriating to the in
