|, RADICAL RAuHLE.

Grants administration Gains grest
credit for reducing the public debt. If
we take the whole thing together-the
unwritten debt as well as the wTijten-
there were really five dollars liquidated
under Johnson's administration for every
dollar paid under Grant. But in truth,
neither administration deserves much
credit for paying cut money furnished by
the people. They are mere agents, like
an attorney who discharges the note of
his principal with money furnished for
that purpose. Responsibility begins
when the money is diverted from its OBJ
ject, or embezzled or lost. President John
son, hampered by domineering Con-
gress, was prevented from removing un-
worthy officials; but the list Of revenue
defaulters is swelling daily under the adj
ministra'ion of Grant, who carries the
Senate in his breeches pocket.
But this loudly proclaimed intention of
reducing the public debt is altogether
piece Of stupendous hypocrisy. The
truth is, the Radicals have no such no.
ton. They mean to make the burden
perpetual, like the British consols. What
would become of the national bank sys-
TEN, if the debt were paid off The
wholefebric would tumble to pieces. Will
those who rule the Radical party sscrifice
this banking monopoly2 Can they do
it, Let the seventy bank stockholders
on the Radical side of the lower house of
Congress answer. The banks are the
creation of Congress, and yet, when tie
funding bill was passed last summer,
these creatures of Congress could not he
forced TO forward the measure and give t
eclat by exchanging their OLE bonds FOR
the new. Even Senator SBermsn was
forced TO exclaim on the floor of the Sem
ate. .'The vote Of The House shows The
mower of the National Banks. II is so
great that 10 order 10 secure funding
l6n we have BEEN compelled 10 abandon
all provisions in regard to them"
This funding bill is itself standing
proof that the Radical party has no in

collect the means. This law extends the

HOW rs TEHKsi-sTATE,s REGHTsy
WHAT CAN III MEANi
We call attention to the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
published In to-dsy's UNION AND AMERI-
DAN, in which and by which there is some
show or shadow of States rights Still
preserved. Justice Nelson, who delivered
the opinion Of the Court, is the Oldest
member OF the Supreme Bench. Justice
Bradley, vino delivered the dissenting
opinion, is the youngest of that Bench.
Independent of the force of numbers and
the weight of years, Justice Nelson's
judgment bristles with authorities which
re do not find in the incomplete and un-
satisfactory dissenting opinion OF
Judge Bradley. In addition, there is an
old fashioned States rights twang about
the conclusions of the majority, and the
authorities cited TO maintain that opinion,
which we have found nowhere else for,
10, these many days. There is an idea
conveyed about the separate existence OF
the States, and indie the existence OF
the United States previous TO the adop-
ton of The Constitution, which is peculi-
arly refreshing in these days of Congress
SIGNAL Ku-Klux bills, both in the principle
announced and the manner of expressing il.
This deetsion Of the highest recognized
court in this government will be highly &C
ceptable, not only to the Democracy, but
also 10 those Republicans who have an
old-time idea of the manner of conduct
ing our governmental affairs and fond
ness for that old time manner of express
ing the proper views by which a consti
tutiOnal government, State and Federal
should be conducted. They say in brief
that: "The powers not delegated to thu
United States, are reserved to the States res
pectively,o or to the people. The Govern
ment of the United States, therefore, cal
claim no powers which are not granted
to 1t by the Constitution, and the power
actually granted must be such as are ex
pressly given, or given by necessary i'm
plication. The General Government ant
the States, although both exist within tn
same territorial limits, are separate anC
distinct soyeseignties, acting separated.
and independently of each other, With
their respective spheres. The former, il
its appropriate sphere, is supreme; bu
the States within the limits of thei
powers not granted, or, in the languag
of the tenth amendment, reserved" ar
as Independent of the General Govern
ment as that government within it
sphere is independent of the States"
We ask that this decision shall
closely read and thoroughly needed.

THE Philadelphia Age makes this tell
ing point: 'sWhen an application was
made to the proper officer, by the people
of Arizona, for troops to protect them
from the indians, the reply was that Con.
gress had so reduced the army, and the
demand for troops in the South is such,
that so far frJm sending troops to the
frontier, he is obliged to take tro, ps from
that section and sent them TO the Southern
States. The savsges on the frontier may
butcher the citizens, and no troops can be
sent TO protect them, but there are plenty
of troops to aid in carrying the South for
the Radicals. As an excuse for keeping
the troops in that locality, the Ku-Klux
Outrages are invented. But the people
are beginning TO zee through this scheme,
and understand the game which General
Grant is playing fora denomination ard
reelection"

SHERMAN VS.. SHERMAN.

The Washington Patriot makes a
strong point against Senator Sherman, of
Ohio, who has become most sctive
apostle of the gospel of hate. That pa
per says: "Until very recently Senator
Sherman always professed to be in favor
of moderate policy toward the South,
and, although he generally voted at the
final pinch with the red revolutionists, his
tone was more reserved than that of
leaders like Morton. A fortnight ago he
abandoned this sham of forbearance, and
sought to place himself in the front rank
of prescription, by proposing a measure
of persecution copied from William the
Conqueror, and which was so odious as
to be denounced by even extreme Repub-
licans in both branches of Congress.
Aiming, apparently, to supersede Mr..
Morton in the command of the Admins
trstion forces, and to attract attention to
himself as a candidate for reelection
to the Senate, he not only adopted all
the notorious fabrications of Ku-Klux
''outrsges," but passing the limits of
deecncy and truth, he Endorsed them with
whstever authority his name could give.
His speech on this subject exceeds in
violence, as it surpssses in deliberate
injustice, every other harangue IN the
Senate except those of Pool and Morton,
which are embalmed in exceptional in
fanny. Gen. Sherman is now on tour
of inspection in the South, and was en-
tertained at New Orleans almost at the
very hour when his brother was utteripg
bitter denunciations on the floor of the
Senate. We cannot make their respective
opinions more forcibly confront each
other than by placing them side by side,
and thus allow fair-minded men TO draw
their own conclusions as TO this contra
dictory testimony:

The New York Herald Of the % has
the following, extract from Gen. shef-
mans recent New Orleans speech printed
again and again in IFS editorial columns in
regular campaign style. 1t is a sumner to
the Ku-Klux monomaniacs:
"I PROBABLY HAVE AS GOOD MEANS OF
IMPORTATION AS MOST PERSONS N REGARD TIC
WHAT Is CALLED THE KU KLUx, AND AM PER
FEcTLY SATISFIED THAT THE THING is GREAT-
LY OvGR-EsTIMATED; AND IF THE KU KLux

The Senator speaks in the intlamma'
tory language of partisan, says the Pa
triOt, with disregard of facts and of eve
rything but his ambitious purpose. The
General, on the very spot of the pretended
violence, denies its existence, and re-
proaches Congress with the responsibility
of postponing peace and reconciliation.
And if additional proof was needed that
this whole Ku-Klux business was fabri-
Gated in Congress as an electOneering
continuance, it would be found in the
perfect tranquility that has prevailed
throughout the entire South since the ad-
iournment of these Radical conspirators.
They were the only disturbers of the
peace; they revived exploded calumnies;
they suborned witnesses to utter new SIAN
ders; they have sown afresh the seeds of
discord and strife; they seek to revive old
snimosilies, and as last resource they
intend to renew civil war if other means
fail to accomplish their nefarious designs.

THE LEGAL TENDER DECISION

- Il LE"hb AENDEhh DEShSaON'
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States reversing the
former decision of that tribunal on the
legal tender question, is regarded with
great disfsvOr by large number of Lead
ing Radical journals on account of the
manner in which it was secured. The
New York Tribune Of the LIST inst Gays:
''The most serious objection to the &C
ton of Justices Strong and Bradley of
The United States Supreme Court, in the
late Legal Tender case, is that they over
