IN reading the columns to the
Radical-Thug Journals Since the
election, our difficulty is to decide
whether their editors are dealing
in sarcasm Or levity. A iew sen
fences from Forney's Press may
be taken os a sample OF the senti-
meuts contained in the over-iubi-
liant Grnnt papers. The Press
says:
"This administration will be
marked in the annals of the couu-

It Is notorious that "this adj
ministrationn has been the most
corrupt, the most profignte and
the most audaciously shameless
that ever ~disgraced this or any
other country on the face Of Gods
footstool. Why, from the hour
Grant was sworn in as President
there has not been a day, perhaps
not an hour, withou a defulca-
ton, and many of these defalca-
tons amounted to hundreds of
thousands. "IIonesty and econ

CONS of honesty and virtue in
comparison with the Nbig thieves
who have been running the ad-
ministration under the imbaciIe
gift receiver aud seaside loiterer
Grant. We protest then against
Forney's levity. We like fun in
its place, but it pains us to see it
INDUCED in at the expense of a
robbed and down-trodden people.
Again we quote from the Iress:
"Delaware's accession to the !
Republican column is n of the |
most gratifying features OF Tues
days good world We NAV now
expect the little State to display
something else than an affection
for barbarism."
No doubt little Delaware has a
bright prospect ahead! She is
now in the keeping of the Radi-
Gals, vagabond niggers and Grant
thieves-just as South Carolina
is. In all probability the destiny
of Delaware will be as glorious
as has been South Carolina,s, and
before her people are aware of
the fact, a debt will be saddled
upon her that will crush her to
the earth. In every Southern
State where the Radicals have
had control, robbery and pecula-
ton, fraud and viliainy, have
been practieedt to u fearful extent.
The debts of three or four of the
States arc now. greater
than the value of all the real es-
tate embraced in those States; in
other words, ifthese States y ere
sold under the hammer of the
auctioneer they would not SELL
or a sufficient sum to pay off the
Indebtedness eaddled upon them
~ Grants negroes and. carpet-
oaggers. No less than four of the
o called Governors of Southern
states are fugutives-one of these ,
ihteves-is the editor of the ad-
ni%nistration journal at Washing I

oress, to taunt the people of poor
