THE RELIANCE OF RADICALISM.

A leading Radical declared last night that
in his opinion, Grant would be the nominee
of the Republican party; that he would be
elected, and that then-some one suggested
''The Deluge?" "No," said he; "then
thousands of Northern white men will flock
to Louisiana, the white people will be in the
majority and everything will be lovely. Rail-
roads will be built, commerce will revive and
we shall have prosperity once more"
The saddest reflection in reference to this
statement is induced by the fact that the
party alluded to seemed to believe what he
said; seemed to think q third term was quite
proper for Gen. Grant. and that the mainte-
nance of the present usurping government in
this State was q matter of course. TO him
the tremendous revolution in popular senti-
ment means nothing-the murmurs of dis
content, growing louder and more significant,
suggest to him only the necessity for re-
pressive measures.
Doubtless he looks for safety from the CON-
ing storm to tho bayonets that were so effect
ual in dispensing legislature, and sees in
of the men Of war now lying in the river, an
argument that civilians will be slow to at
tempt to refute.
The old adage that "whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" is true, and was
no doubt founded upon the experience and
observation Of ages, and it is likewise true
that the first symptom of that madness is
mental blindness which renders the victims |
unable to discern the meaning OF the most
pOrtentous events.
The country is marching toward monarchy
with giant strides and it would seem that the
people will not awaken to the fact until the
Capitol ut Washington is surrounded by an
army, and the thunder Of Grants artillery
lwakens the world to the realization of his
reason.

as an invidious distinction against him solely

York: Harper & Brothers. From George
Ellis & Brother 50 Camp street.
Mr.. Lawrence does not belong TO the pro-
lite school Of novel writers, but when he does
give rs something new it is sure to be well
worth reading.
Hagarene is in bis best vein, the characters
being all strongly drawn, the interest as usual
centering in the outlaws, his respectable PEG
pie being unfortunately rather embarrassing.
The story ends wel-the great desideratum
all bad people forsaking their evil ways.
and all the good ones continuing happy and
prosperous.
Mr. Lawrence is very powerful writer,
but somewhat given to the too frequent re-
petition Of certain pet phrases, ana a lavish |
display of classic lore quite uncaled for by |
the occasion. In the opening chapter Of Hag-
arene for instance, we have "the hierocratic
Els" the "beards Of Hellanodicae," the |
.. Cromian cliffs," the "double stream of
Alpheus,' "cycles Of Olympiads, the "grove
of Altis," "Oanem ct Crcenses," etc. and all
q propos TO a race-course, and ragged girl

The Difference.

The Republican papers in this state are
uttering howl Of virtuous indignation be-
cause some employe of the legislature
writes letters for the newspapers. They
do not complain that he eneglects his duties,
or that he doesn't earn his pay, but he
writes letters for the newspapers-the hor-
rid fellow
We do not remember to have seen in
any Republican paper any censure in re-
gard to the editor of the Cambridge. Henry
county, Chronicle, who is kept at Wash
ington at the expense of the U. S. treas
ury, and who writes political letters for the
newspapers. He was appointed clerk to
the Committee on Claims, by Congress.
man Hawley. Hundreds of Republican
clerks, at Washington. under pay from
the United States, do very little but at
tend to politics, write letters for the news,
papers, etc. But if one is found doing the
same thing for the Independents,itar arouses
all the fire of the Republican soul. If the
man performs the duties we'll. for which
he was employed by the state, and earns
the pay he receives, We don't think the
state has any business to inquire how he
spends his evenings-whether he writes let
ters or reads his bible.

Which Is Regarded as an Insult by the
Rock Island Company--Arrest Of
Two Alleged Embezzlsrs.
Frank Beardsell and a man who is said
to-be merchant in Iowa CITY were arrest
ed on Monday afternoon, at the instance Of
the Rock Island Railroad company, who
allege that the couple has embezzled from
them large number of railway tickets.
Beardsell, according to the story of the
Company, is principally implicated in the
THEFT, while the Iowa merchant, it is
claimed, acted as an agent 10 disposing OF
them.
MIR. Everett St. John, the general ticket
agent of the Rock Island railroad, saws
that he was convinced that Beardsell was
selling the companys passenger tickets
for his own benefit as long ago as last
May. He had no positive proof, however,
of the fact, aud he says no convincing
proof against them was adduced unit!
quite recently. BY marking tickets aQd
employing other detective methods, the
theft was at length fastened upon
these parties. They we're arrested Mon
day afternoon. and gave bail in
the sum of $4,000 each for their
appearance before Justice Boyden
yesterday morning. The case was
called up in the police court, yesterday, w.
w. O'Brien, the attorney for the company,
appearing for the prosecution, and at his
request the case was continued until the
23d inst, and the bond of the Iowa mer-
chant was re-issued in the sum of $3,OOO,
his sureties being j. V.Farwell and Henry
W. King. Beardsell's bail was fixed at
$1,000, and as his sureties were objected
to aud he was unable to procure other bail,
he was committed to jall.
He was interviewed last evening by a
reporter, and emphatieally denied the truth
Of the charges brought against him. He
says that he has not been in the employ OF
the company for nearly two years, and has
since been engaged in an independent
ticket-selling business. and is what is COM
monty known as ''scalper." He has
sold large number of Rock Island tickets
and the company claim that many of the
tickets he has disposed of were s,olen by
him at the time he left their employ. He
had nothing further to say about the mat
ter.
The company claim that the amount of
tickets embezzled is about 5000 worth.
So far as has yet been developed there are
no others implicated in the theft.-Chicd-
