WASHINGTON d. G. June 8, lS74.-
As stravs show how the wind blows
so docs the utterance Of the Grant Or
gan here-'The Republican'-indicate
how the presiden. thinks. The recent
earnest advocacy, by that journal, Of
Cuban recognition would seem to tho
uuinitiated to be an honest sympathy
with the struggling Cubans, but such
is not the case; it is merely apart of the
scheme that looks to the preparation
Of radical rule and a third term for
General Grant. This is to be done by
holding out to the American people
the glittering prize OF new states
south of us-that are to be annexed
thus our cupidity is to be appealed to
under the cry Of "MaRifcst destiny
as shouted by Buchanan, Mason and
Soule in nte-bellum days. The first
step in this scheme is the recognition
Of Cuba--the catchword being Stree
Cuba, and San Domingo-the presidents
dream will follow in order. The Mex.
lean greaser will come in as an Ameri
can citizen, while Chinese coolies and
freed negroes will go to swell the al
ready too large number of ignorant and
debased voters in our body politics
This is the plan Of n desperate band o
trickster politicians who would pay an,
price for power, and Senator Carpente
10 the senate, and Judge Poland in tn,
House are the fuglemen Of the scheme
To suppose that eithn- &C .L--- =
politicians are the tools Of designing
men would be to insult their intelli
gence. However much We may sym,
pathise individually with the Cuban,
We cannot permit the president to rusl
us into war or into damages under
the Washington. treaty, by interfering
in the affairs Of Spain, simply that hi
insatiate ambition may be gratifed
Even republicans who formerly desired
the recognition Of Cuba now draw
back from the wild game of these gam
BIER politicians who would risk tn,
ruin Of the country that they might
win power.
RADICAL CAUCUS.
The radical senators and representa-
tiyes met in caucus last evening in the
hall Of the house. Zacariah-sur-
named Chandler, stated that the meet
ing was called to hear the reading OF
the report Of the executive committee.
The report was read and Zacariah told
what he had done in the work and
asked that his resignation might be &C.
cepted. He sees the general breaking
up that Is at hand, and takes himself
OF IN good time. The very respectable
muf-Hsnuibal Hamlin, who don see
beyond his nose, accepted the vacancy.

with the president on the finances, but
1t was continued-in the hope that it
might yet be Of some service. Lynch,
negro, howled for the passage of the
civil rights bill. As the financial
question was about being entered Oh
the already panic stricken and scared
radicals grew fearfully nervous, and ar
adjournment was affected before the
dragon Of discord was lot loose. A
general feeling Of relief was pictured
on the continuance of each as h

that the danger has been tided owe
