LOOK at the following exhibit of the
expenses of the Federal Administration
during the last yesr in which the DEMO-
Gratis held power, and during the last
year in which the accounts are made up
Of Radical expenditures. The Demo
cratic expense for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1850, was SIT, 1852, 1922. In
contrast to this, the Ralical expense for
the fiscal year ending June so, 1871, was
1882, 257, 971.56. This makes an excess
of 800, 7S5, 868 81 of Radical expendl-
ture for enc year over Democratic ex-
penditure during an equal period. Both
the years given are years of profound
peSce.

THR Sentinel, published at Mt. Sterling,
KY, calls upon Mira. Victoria G. Wood
hull and Miss Tennie G. Clafin to pay
a bill due since 1866 for advertising done
for them when they followed the clair
voS ant, fortune telling, and magic medi-
cine business in Cincinnati. When this
bill is paid, the Sentinel will see about
supporting Mrs. Woodruff for the
Presidency.
The New York Sun protests against
any such mixture of money affairs with
politics. If no person is to be elected
President who is not able to pay his little
debts, we shall have fatal reduction in
Ie number of available candidates. Let
bygoneS be bygones in politics. All that
ought to be required of any candidate is
10 pay his current bills, and to agree to
accept 10 presents after the election.
Perhaps in Mrs. Woodhull's case, as she
has two husbands living, it might be
proper to exact an agreement that neither
of them shall be appointed to any Office
after her Inauguration.

HOPEFUL.

In every Southern State in which the
Radicals are in the aIcendanCy the party
is riven with factions, striving to tear
each other 10 pieces. A review Of The
field viii be satisfactory t. DemCc
In South Carolina there has been local
quarrel ct Charleston between the Bowen
and De Large factions; bC: another of
larger proportions is cplinging up be-
tween the Whiitem0re, Ransier and
Parker gang en- The one side, ard Gov.
Scott and his adherents ca Tie other,
The question is wholly one of plurder.
The factions accuse each other Of cheat
ing. Gov. Scott has been unable TO get
sight Of the State Treasurer's books, and
the inference is that that functiOnaIy
is fearful of being detected of fraud.
The Charleston Republican and the
Columbia Union, the two most in1u-
entail Radical papers in the State, side
with the Governor. This quarrel is prom
jsipp. In florida there are joalCusies
and 1ecrimi1alions, in which Gov. Reed
and TIC carpet-bag Senators are involved.
The " Great Southern. Railroad " swindl9
is ,he moving cause. Ia Alabama the
war RACES between Senator Spencer and
ex-senator Warner and their friends, the
favor of the President apparently being
cast with The latter. The Louisiana
troubles, with Grant parading Gatln
guns to terrorizs the malcOntenls, and
Yarmouth sneering at the President and
his little brother in-laT, has been the
theme Of newspaper comment for the
past week. In Mississippi the contest is
fierce between the supporters of Gov.

Cling 10 get possession of the

GREELEY ANDGRANT.

1t has been evident for some months
that Mr.. Horace Greeley is not an adj
mirer of Gen. Grant, and that he does not
believe Grant is much of "Second
Washington The personal views" OF
Mr.. Greeley-irrespective of all personal
considerations-in respect to the candid
scy of the Radicals for the next Presi-
dency, are very distinctly announced in
recent number of his paper, the New
York Tribune, The Boston Post ex-
presses the opinion that these views are
regarded as important by the Radical
party, and are not uninteresting of course
to others. The Post says they are ex
sctly these: That he favors the one-term
principle, and believes that another can
didate (not mentioning HIMSELF would
encounter less opposition and win more
support than Gen. Grant; and therefore
advocates taking some one else. But as
choice between two evils he would prefer
the reelection of Gen. Grant to Demo-
cratic national triumph; and that is his
main reason for wishing the selection ola
candidate who will be more certain
of success than Gen. Grant. In this
Mr.. Greeley is directly at variance with
his party generally, who accept of Gen. 4
Grant as the only Radical candidate that
can be elected, and he is moreover incon-
sistent, for in respect to minor offices he
admits that if improper men are nomi-
mated they ought TO be defeated. The
nominations. of corrurtionists, he says,
Sought to be bolted." This is very well,
as far as it goes, and may suit Mr.. Gree
ley's friends and confidants and Radicals
generally. But for general purposes the
announcement lacks an important ele-
ment. 1t assigns no reasons for opposi-
ton to Gen. Grant. To make out a good
case, and to enable others to judge OF the
nature and exact value of his hostility to
reelection, Mr.. Greeley is bound to
state explicitly, ard in such detail as will
meet the public appreciation, the reasons
which lead him to believe that Gen.
Grant will be so weak candidate, and
why he would be SO vulnerable to success
full opposition. If Mr.. Greeley would
show his sincerity in the matter, and ex-
hibit his candor and independence in q
commendable light, he might give an ex
position Of personal views" that would
be edifying and instructive.

GRANT As 4 MILITARY DICEA
TOR

The Philadelphia Age says: 'Gen.
Grants bold use of soldiers at New Or
leans, in order to effect an endorsement
from political convention, justifes sus-
picion that he means to hold power by
the bayonet, if it is denied him by the
ballot. The United States, under the
Radical party, is tending towards mill
tary despotlsm. In Europe, the people are
acquiring more power to defend their
rights under the law. Here, power is
drifting away from them. ; = r Ii
he can control the convention of LOuisi-
ana by the bayonet, he can those of New
York, Maine and Iowa. And he will do
SO, rather than be beaten. v hen the
nomination is secured, then under the
provisions of the Ku-KLux bill, Gen.
Grant can use the army to force an cleo
ton. And, depend upon it, the man who
will Tenominate himself by force, will re-
elect himself by the same means. Gen.
Grant has one foot on the steps of
military throne. He may mount higher

of the present regime. Arkansas is rent

Radicals, as they are called. In Tennes-

the Democrats are in the majority,
and Georgia belongs to the Democrats

1t is temporarily, owing to Congressional
interference, in the hands of the Radicals.
Those Southern States that have not al
ready gone back to the Democracy are
making preparations rapidly to change
masters. There appears to be no way to
save the South to Grant but by putting
that country through new course of re-
construction. The President, unwilling
to wait until the meeting of Congress, is
trying his hand at it himself in Louisiana.
