The Jep. under the title The Bargain be-
tween the Radicals" refers again to the disgust
inc scepes which happened in the Radical con-
yention ard shows how the Disgrace was
crowned by the compromise between the lead
ora. Pinch. who had made the stoutest fight
obtained the best share. The influence OF the
Administration with Radical Senators obtained
for him the back pay of $40 900. to which he was
not entitled Warmoth had to give way when
pincbback reeeded. and obtained the doubtful
reward OF a candidacy for the First Congress

TO suppose that he has the ghost
of n chance yet. If his past career is reviewed.
he will be seen to be so full OF expedients
and tricks. that his opponent may well be on his
guard IT must be borne in mind, also, that he
IL backed by Packard, and between themselves
they have fraudulent voters. the Returning
Bonrd and Federal bayonets. Their plan ot
operations is lmore difficult Of practice than
1870. 1879 and 1874. 1t Is hard to see how the
troopa can come in" this time without making
n very damaging impression in the North aud
West and the Returning Board will be in a
rather ticklish position to carry on its frauds in

an Infamous compact. and the Democrats must
FIGHT the battle upon the high moral grounds OF
reform. and with leaders yigilant. brave and r.
reproachable.

from 1t is that the writer is much better nc
auainted with barrel houses than with flrst-class
saloons and decent club rooms.
Next in order comes an apology Of Antoine
who himself is an apology for Lieutenant Gov

About the massacre Of Gen. Custer and his
command. 1t thinks that no doubt Gen. Sheridan
will now be permitted to fight the Indians after
his own fashion. and If SO, there will be an end
| to Indian wars.
| The Picavune deplores the horrible fate of Gen
Custer and his brave band, and thinks that the
Government ought to wage war OF extermlnh-
ton against the Indians. 1t is, however. uncer-
tain what the Administration viii do:
The general election is near at hand and q

departure for the scene of hostilities OF all TIL
useless soldiers now loating in the South for tn
