Such is Radical progress.
HALLOTs Or BAxONETs.

That is the alternative which the Grant
party proposes to present to the voters OF
the United States. There is scarcely a
day that passes that we do not see some
new move which indicates that this party
is determined to perpetuate their power
and plurder through another administra-
ton. Republicans who oppose the con-
tinuStion in place of the present officials
viii be put as completely under the ban as
are the Democrats. This is being fully
developtd in Louisiana. But few days
since we learn from our exchanges that
a Radical Convention to nominate csndi-
dates for State offices was held in the
Custom house at New Orleans, under
the direct control of the Presi-
dents brother-in>lsw, who is Col
lector of the port. This outrage upon
all decency, by which building devoted
to commerce was prostituted to partisan
purpose, in utter disregard of the public
DUSlDCAH duu kuC OOANGAANASS "a
ants, was enough in itself to have pro-
voked public indignation. But it links
into utter insignifcance, compared with
the daring intrusion of Federal troops
upon the scene, with loaded cannon and
muskets, brought there for no other OBJ
iect than to protect one faction OF Radi-
cslism and to intimidate another. This
spectscIe of armed Interference at
nominating convention, in order
TO control the selection OF can
didates favorable to the President, is well
calculated to excite alarm everywhere,
and ought to prepare the public mind Tor
the most desperate extremitles, when Inc
popular verdict shall consign Gen. Grant
to obscurity. If this be not Cesarism in
its most atrocious form, such even as
Louis Napoleon never dared to attempt,
then what is it, If troops may be thus
called out at the command of q mere
revenue officer, to take part in a local
controversy for candidates, they may,
of course, be summoned by the
Commander-in-C Chief to determine the
result of Presidential cleo
ton. Ferewarned, let US be foresrmed.
The contest is yet to come between the
peoples ballots and the Presidents bay
ouets. And we cannot prepare for 1t too
soon after this exhibition at New Orleans
VIII Democrats wrangle longer among
themselves Will they still continue
their denunciations of each otherF The
first question in order is; Ballots or Bay
onets. Let us succeed with the ballots,
and the bsyonet party will disappear for
ever. But should the bsyonets triumph
then Il may be the last of the free ballot.
United we stand. Divided we fall

THE Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company on Saturday completed the
purchase of about three fourths of the
stock of the Jacksonville, Madison and
Indianapolis Railroad and branches, and
of the Louisville Bridge, and Thomas A.
Scott was elected President of both COM
psnies. By this arrangement the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company secures the
control of the bridges across the Ohio
River at Cincinnati and Louisville, aud
therefore of all through lines leading over
them TO the South and Southwest, giving
that company h commanding position in
regard to traffic with those sections.

TEE people are not allowed to know
any thing about the disposition of the
revenue of the country, amounting TO
over $400, 900, 900, beyond such facts SIS
the officers of the treasury may vouchsafe
to give. Let the books of the treasury
department be EXAMINED at once, that the
people may know what has been done
with their money. Federal thieves have
been employed in the -greenback bureau
for years, and they have become wealthy
on moderate salaries. Let the nest of cor
ruption be cleansed at any cost.

sESAroR PoszRoy, of Ksnsaa, is in
favor of Grants nomination; and an ad-
miring reporter who lately interviewed
Pomeroy says che is hand and glove
with the President-knows him better,
judges him more correctly, and is proba-
bly@a truer exponent of Gen. Grants
principles than any other member of
.oongress.p This is d brilliant ealogy.
especially when it Is Remembered that
Pomeroy isprobably the most corrupt and
venal member of the United States Sen
ate. So says the Cincinnati Commercial,

Juries and Jurors.

Complaints about juries, as they

and the professional juryman, the
hanger on about the court house,
waiting for a job, Is considered a
nuisance, while, in reality, he is a
necessity under the present clrcum.

along without him. Business would
be delayed, and the cause Of justice
impeded, If the professional were
mot ready to the hand Of the Sher,

be said in fairness, when the merits
Of the professional juror are can.
vassed.
But there is another side OF the
question, which is not properly
considered when we'll meaning peo-
pie complain Of the character of
The iuries which often determine
many important suits, and that is,
the unwillingness of those who are
designated by law, to respect the
obligation which requires them to
take seats In the jury box. The
names OF a certain number OF per
sons are returned by the trustees
Of each township and ward in the
county and city, TO serve as jurors
From these names, so returned, ju
ries are made as the law prescrlbes,
but after the persons are notified,
not one half Of them perhaps, obey
the summons and serve as jurors
Now, II must be apparent to all,
that II there is to be an advance inI
the course Of justice, the citizen as
well as the Judge must do his full
share to accomplish that end Ill
is uselesa to complain Of the ways
IN which the laws are executed, III
those who have the deepest inter
est in the proper administration Of
the laws, refuse 10 obey thom when
called to act as jurymen. = Dayton
