The Radicals are certainly goreing
each other these times TO degree re
freshing to honest people. The N. Y.
Tribune says:
"About the coolest thing that has occurred this
winter is resolve Of State Convention OF the
faction dominant In South Carolina In these words
"Resoired, BY the Union Republican party Of
the State Of South Carolina, in Convention as
scmbled, that we indorse the administration Of
President U. 5. Grant, in its wise and successful
financial policy, which has reduced the national
debt, while lessening the public taxes. and at the
same time preserved full faith with the public
creditors
Considering how these rascals have sold them
selves to measurless inamy over aud ever by steal
ing their poor State poorer than she ever was be-
fore, quadruplng her expenses, doubling her debt,
and trebing her taxes, this resolve strikes us as
the Chimborazo Of imposture and vainy.'
Pap Greeley may be right in pitch.
ing into the negroes and scalawags Of
South Carolina, but it is certainly un.
kind toward bis friends in Clearfed,
who met two weeks ago and passed a
similar Financial policy resolution,
Grant told us that he had "no policy"
but his "colored brethren" in South
Carolina and the loyalists of Clearfeld
have evidently picked one up, and
understand each other perfectly. We
hope Philosopher Greeley will with
draw his offensive truths, so far as
they relate to this country.

JUsT LIKE THEM.--The fool. killers
in Congress are about passing an act
taking off the duty on tea and coffee.
If SO we presume they will next put
liquors and tobacco on the free list. II
the expenses of the general govern.
ment must be met by tariff tax, why
not place the embargo on the luxuries
instead of the necessities of the coun.
try? We say tax the former and let
the latter go free. If a man has the
means to indulge in luxnries--tea,
coffee, wines, whisky, cigars and to-
bacco-let him pay for his freaks.
But take the tax off the bread, butter
and clothing consumed By the poor
and laboring millions. Let those who
want to dance pay the fiddler, is an
old saying, and our Congressman
must be very celestial in their views
if they cannot see the tariff business
and the real interests of the country
in that light.

AN APoLooy-We are sorry that
our article two weeks ago, in reference
TO Junior Know Nothings, gave the
editor Of the Journal so much concern
last week, in pervcrting our language.
IL in his position Of Deacon and Sun
day School Superintendent, be distorts
and misinterprets the Bible as out.
rageously as he did the article in ques-
tion, he is certainly dangerous trans
lator and educator, 80 far MS orthodox
theology, sound morals and truth are
concerned. To say that we named
any mechanic, is an untrath so ma
ked and brazcn that even "tho father
of lies" would hesitate hascro uttering
one OF similar magnitude.

.y,ssftce at Last,

The Philadelphia Bulletin, ono OF the
Radical organs Of that city, has at last
became SO disgustod with tho conduct
of the corruption ring that II has taken
to lnshing them IN regular Democratic
STYLE. In alluding TO the Mcclure
Gray contest In the State Senate, the
editor says.
Afler long and bitter contest,
which few men would have had cour.
age to conduct TO a conclusion, Col.
Mcclure is to have chance to present
his claims to the seat in the Senate,
now occupied by Mr.. Gray. The hon
esty of a few decent men in tho Leg
islature has compelled that body to
consent reluctantly TO the formation
of committee, and il is probable that
the investigation will begin at once
We are not very well satisfied with
tho nominations that have been made
for the Republican side Of the com
mittoc. Messrs. White and Mumma
are both pledged to secure Mr.. Gray in
his seat if possible, and Mr.. White has
so conducted himself throughout this
contest that he will not act with any
regard for fairness in his position.
If hc had possessed the smallest par
ticc of good taste, or the least regard
for propriely, no would have refused
to serve upon a jury when he has CON-
mitted himself to give a certain yer.
dict. But propriety and good taste
are not his most prominent qualities
