PEACE AND IaAf IONN-A IRADI.
dAI. OIL ARIEL

Order may reign at the Lava Beds,
but peace by no means prevails in the
precincts of Radicalism. There seems
to be serious trouble in the camp of
our friends, the enemy-not the
Modocs-but the Radical Party.
We are little surprised and less
grieved at the fact We are not SUI
prised, because it is known of all men
who know him, that john Pool will
make-not music-but trouble, where
ever lie goes. Any party that takes
him into it's bosom, even though it may
not "take it's CHOICE" will certainly
have to pay its money"
We are not grieved, because those
who make their bed must lie on it.
But whether it is the Radical
Party, that haying, according to the
way Of the world, used John Pool
now abuse him, or whether it is that
John Pool, having used the Radical
Party, now abuses it, we do not pre-
tend to decide. The question is one
that it is beyond oar ken to solve. All
parties concerned can ''pay their
money and take their choice"
The following article, taken from
the Washington City National Rcp"b-
icara, tells the p.aiaful story. We were
not aware. however, that "the owner
of the Wilmington Post" was ever
United States Senator. We do not
pretend to &c posted in the history
of Wilmington's presen. Chief Execu-
tive Officer, Mayor Canaday. He has
held various offices during his yet not
long life. He is now Mayor of the
City. He was Marshal OF the City.
He vas an officer in the Confederate
Arm, and, it is said, did good service,
too. He, like John Pool, took Office
during the war "to embarrasa the
government" but, unlike John Pool,
the GoseYament, that Lieutenant
Canaday desired so elnilarrass, was the
Federal Government. Witt, the lights
then before him, he was Confederate.
With those now before him, he is the
Mayor of the City of Wilmington.
But il lie ever was United States
Senator, we arc ignorant of the fact.
Indeed, we presume the Washington
paper is laboring under a naisappre-
hension, and has another man its eye.
We do Tot pretend to speak "by
authority" but we feel sure that the
Republican refers, not to VIM. P.
Canaday, late Of the Confederate
Army, but to Joseph G. Abbott, late of
New Hampshire, late of the Federal
Army, and late of the United States
Senate.
But the quarrel is hone of our quar-
rel, and we will make no further re-
mark on Ii, saTe to say that.some where
we have read about an engineer being
hoist with his own petard -; obout
curses like young chickens coming
home to roost about certain inven-
tions comingto plague their inventors,
&C., &c. We wish the Radical party
much Joy i'll their ex-Senators. The
RepuJlican says:
We haze been called upon to expose
the duplicity Of ex-senator Pool on
several occasions, and have done so
from the purest motives. based upon
a desire to free the workingmen, with !
whom he has attempted to associate |
himself, from the Vaccinations of a |
designing demagOgue. The result has
been free discussion of his character,
and his consequent population by the |
people whom he attempted to dupe.
And it has been followed by discus
cussion in his native State of the sew
eral charges we have made against |
him. In short, Oszr articles have been
a prolific source of comment by the
North Carolina press. The majority
of the journals of that State have sidea |
with us, while others-notably the |
Wilmington Post-have defended him.
Outside of North Carolina, however,
