Radical Mutineers.

Dispatches from Washington say there
is very bitter feeling developed on the
part of those New York Republican
members of Congress who lately failed
of reelection toward the Admins
tration and its retainers and hirelings of
the Custom House clique. The former
accuse the latter of being Instrumental
in their defeat, the motive being the al
legged hostility of these Federal office
holder toward those Congressman who
at the last session manifested DISPOSE
tion to expose and punish corruption in
their own party, and who took part in
the movement in favor of civil-service
reform. For this effort to purify the
Republican party, which they contend
was the only way in which it could be
saved, they say they have been pro
scribed by the wire e-pullers and caucus
managers of the Administration, acting
under the orders of Murphy, Conkling,
Cornell and Morgan. Hence they are
dissatisfied, and threaten all sorts of
vengeance against the Administration
and its adherents. In fact, they are
ready to devote the remainder of their
official existence to this work of retribu-
tion, and will probably cooperate with
the Democratic members, during the
session which opened on Monday, in any
measure for unearthing corruption or
reforming abuses.
This is but another premonition of the
approaching dissolution of the once
happy Radical family. These indignant
Congressman, however, greatly exagger-
ate the political influence of the White
House faction in comprising their de
feat In the Congressional electi0s
which have lately taken place the Ad-
ministratlon has not been able to save
its own peculiar personal friends and un-
compromising supporters, as witness the
overthrow of Butler and Gooch in Massa-
chusetts though backed up by the whole
army of Federal office-holders. The
trouble with the former is not that they
have incurred the displeasurc of the Ad-
ministration, but rather that they ad-
hered to it while acknowledging its un-
worthiness; that they sinned against the
light, and persisted in keeping bad COM
pany after discovering the real nature
and demoralizing influence of their asso-
Citations. Under these circumstances
they could not expect their constituents,
who were determined on securing reform
in the Government, to place implicit
faith in the sincerity of their professions,
or to discriminate in their favor The
people are bound to make clean sweep
in this reform movement, since they be-
lieve that the only way to purify party
controlled by spoilsmen, and whose po-
litical action has degenerated into mere
scramble for place and power, is to re
move it altogether.-Boston Post

The Diamentia (BraziD correspondent of

account Of the marriage of the only daughter

bride aud The value Of the marriage gifts; but
it was no more worthy to be compared with
this than farthin.. candle-light is to A brill

upon the pretentious display recently made

quiet and unharmed until the train

william Cullen Bryant.

In the midst of this materialistic age,
when sentiment is subordinated to money
and men are absorbed In trade and poll
tics, there is something peculiarly re-
freshing in the fact that the birthday of
3 great poet, in the commercial metropo-
lis and in the midst of a hotly-contested
election, shc.:id command the respectful
attention of the most eminent of our
llow-citiZens. In the old countries,
such as France, Germany and Italy, such
events occasionally have been honored
and the birthplace, the homes and the
graves of great poets are marked by the
revcrcntial regard of their countrymen
1t was, therefore, not less honorable to
the people than to the poet that the
eightieth birthday of William Cullen
Bryant was commemorated by his friends
in the city of New York. A committee
of distinguished citizens, representing all
the professions and walks of civil life,
presented themselves at the door of the
| venerable poet, and in the name of the
country that holds him in deserved honor
offered to him felicitous address con-
graduating him upon the return of his
birthday, and rejoicing in the honor
which he had conferred upon the city,
the country, and the age. Mr.. Bryant
career is one that may be wisely com
mended to the admiration of those who
are looking upward with anxious eyes as
to their future in the race of life. Born
in retired village in Massachusetts,
educated at Williams College, dependent
upon his own industry and genius; with
strong moral convictions; temperate, sys-
| tematic and persevering; a poet and yet
practical; not gwen to visions and dreams
but realizing that life is real and ear
nest" he has steadily, quietly and nobly
| wrought out for himself character that
| is to-day more enviable, perhaps, than
that of any other citizen of the United
States. Without ever having held office
| which would have been thrust upon him
had he been willing to receive it, in the
pursuit of the most laborious and respon-
sible of all secular professions, by his
pen employed solely for the improve
ment, elevation and delight of the world
of readers, he has won fame, love, rev.
erence and that measure of wealth which
makes old age comfortable, graceful and
! happy. And crowned with the peaceful
hopes of the Christian, which add an
eternal future of enjoyment to the pleas
ure of the present, the measure is full
and We have right to count him blessed
among men. May his example be q
| blessing also to those who come after
| him.-Neso York Observer.

THE contest made in Corsica against the
"Red Prince" by the Chiselhurst Imperialists
is now said to be but the first step in plan
to discard him from the dynastic succession,
and to substitute the children of Lucien as
heirs presumptive. In furtherance of this
aim it was thought necessary to defeat and
discredit him in Corsica, the very hearthstone
OF the Bonaparte race, and to return Prince
Charles to the council general. Paul de Cas-
sagnac. the Thersites of the Imperialist party,
was directed to denounce him as the Fugitive
of the Crimea and the Babbler of the Senate,
"the man in whom the walls of the Palais
Royal seem to have sweated down their leg

successful; but man of his abilities will not
deeply grieve at the loss of SO shadowy pos
session as that of the heirship to the third
