RADICAL MEETING. Owing to the rain, it
is supposed, or from some other cause, the at
tendance at the Radical meeting, last night,
was not as large, for an indoor meeting, as
usual, although there were quite number of
spectators, of the opposition, present.
The speakers were J., ", Douglass, Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue and NJ. D.
| ~
Washington, who plead the cause Of Grant and
Wilson, directly, and their own, indirectly, to
the best Of their ability.
The first speaker was statistical, the last Sa-
tirical The effect of the remarks OF the for
mer were so soothing that several OF his color
ed auditors audibly dozed, while the latter
reused them to a sense of their duty as free
men, by pictures of hydras dire, yapid illusions
to the Rebel rag, aud i'll timed suggestions
to the straight out" Democrats, not one Of
whom was present.
He of the Internal Revenue had, of course,
to deal in figures, which were as Greek and He
brew to large majority of the audience, and
had ''up hll'' work to show how extremely
economical that part Of the government with
which he was connected had been administered,
and that there was not as much stealing going
on as was charged, while it had to be admitted
that there was some, not ST, 200, 900, however,
as had been reported to Congress by the account
ing officer, which the speaker said was great
mistake He took rather singular view of
the qualifications for President, who he con-
tiuuously compared to an overScer. supcrinten
dent of i factory, and cart driver, and logi-
cal deduction from his remarks led to the con-
cluson that one who possessed sufficient ability

spoke in u conversational style, and there was
no attempt at oratory or defamation; he had to
deal with the revenue land there is not much in
that to excite enthusiasm, for, said he, talk
is cheap but whiskey costs money.
The Commissioner OF Patents, pcrceiving the
sopor6c effect Of the speech of the Internal
Revenue Commissioner, determined not to deal
in figures or facts either, and ignoring the pres
ence of any but colored men, IN his opening
went for that class 10 true lie

did not know and could not find out what sort
Of "a thing it was he and his party were lighting;
it was Il monster, with Greeley at its head, the
Democratic party as its body, and Gratz brown
as its tail. He informed his audience that
Greeley and Sumner had always been thorns in
the side of the Radical party, and 1t was bless
ing that they were out; wondered how any
straight out Democrat could vote for Gree
ey-indeed he did not believe Kentucky
would vote for him. nor when it was ascertain
ed that there was no chance for his election, did
he think any Democrat would willingly ''eat
crow for the love Of 1t" He did rot know what
Mr.. Greeley meant by his talk of reconciliation,
as there we're only one hundred and thirty men
in the South who could not hold Office, and if
these would ask for pardon he doubted not that
it would be granted, unless like South Caro-
lima General who, when asked why he did not
petition for pardon, had replied that before
he would ask it for what he had done, from
such set as were in Washington. he would
see the United States in HI first. The
speaker praised the valor OF the Confederate
soldiers in one breath, and in the next disgust
ed those of them who were present by most
unnecessary slurs at the 'Rebel rag" damned
the Democracy with faint praise, and in order
to keep up the fast tagging spirits of his audi
ence, had to thank God for the freedom OF
all, and make rather clumsy apostrophe to the
Star Spangled Banner, and attempt to make
fun of Jefferson Davis.
About halfpast ten, after music by the Alex
andria Brass Band, the meeting dispersed,
without being adjourned, it being annnounced
that there would be speaking on next Thursday
night in front of the Marshall House.
