RADICAL sEssE.--The Philadelphia

Inquirer, one OF the organs Of the op
position in this State, in alluding to
the conduct of the Radical leaders in
Congress, sensibly remarks;
"The country does not want the issues Of the
war dog up and flung into It's face at each recur-
ring Presidential election. Congress can find
better work TO do In connection with industries
and commerce, the development Of natural re-
sources and the protection Of the public health. p

THE English Government owns and
operates all the Geographic lines in the
kingdom on the same plan as it man
ages the postal business, and the &C
count of the telegraph service is put in
the estimates tor ls79-lSSO, as follows:
Expense, 81, ll5, 1876; income, Il, 34o,-
900. A clear profit of over a million
dollars a year, with additional tele-
graphic facilities and lower rates Of
communication, are among the results
of the system. The great advantage OF
the English telegraph system Is that
the rates are almost as cheap as letter
postage-and the facilities for telegraph
ic communication may be found al
every post office, in town and country
thus bringing its benefits within the
reach Of every neighborhood. The
Post Office system, in Great Britain
combines tho Pest Office proper, the
Postal Telegraph, and Postal Saving
Bank-all under one roof, in avery city
town, village and hamlet throughout
the realm. Let Congress stop President
making and turn its attention towards
giving Ms some Of these advantages
This would have more beneficial ef
feet upon the business Of the country
than months spent ill legislation on thu
question of allowing the troops to keel
the peace at the election polls.

a Democratic paper, 1t cannot DO sue
cess, with such q bilious colicky
editor.
For ourselves we care nothing about
its attacks on our paper or ourselves
personally. Its words are but the
idle vaporings of conceited and mis-
guided mind. The REPUBLICAN has
pursued the even tenor Of its way only
stopping occasionally to give its SLAM
derer coutemptuous kick, until radi-
cally Republican as it is, 1t leads in
circulation not only in this city, but in
the State. Nobody is deceived in its pol
itics, and all who take it know they are
getting Republican paper. Fully one
third of our patrons are Democrats but
they know they are getting and supper
ting Republican paper, without any
disguise whatever. They advertise in
it because they know the paper is hon
est and because they always get the
worth Of their money back again. If
we were to cease publishing Republi-
can paper and adopt the independent
principle, and afterwards find fault
with nobody but Democrats, We would
be secuted as a fraud in trying to hood
wink the people into the support Of .
Republican party paper when there
was not the least shadow Of indepen-
dence about it, and the public would
be right in doing so. There are indie
pendent papers Of character published,
amongst which we might notice the
Philadelphia "Times" in small de-
gree, and the New York "Herald" in q
large degree, but amongst those papers
the "Every Evening" does not rank,
and therefore we do not wonder that
the support of many of the leading
business men of our city is withdrawn
from it.

Owing to the general favor with
which our double sheet REPUBLICAN was
received on Saturday last, and the gen.
eral desire on the part of our readers
and business men for us to publish
another, we have complied with their
request, and will launch out anoth
a.. containing ffty-six columns OF
resdiug matter and advertisements, on
either Saturday, the 18th, or a week
later. the oath instant. The issue will
not be less than $500, with prospect
that it will reach $500 copies. Several
columns Of special advertisements have
already been promised us without any
solicitation on our part, but as we have
determined to issue another double
sheet, we hope that all who desire the
insertion of special cards will send them
in early-the sooner the better, so that
our compositors may have ample time
to have them set in type. Those wish
ing extra copies of the double sheet
will please state the number they may
want when they hand in their adver-
tisements. 1t is for them to say how
much over $500 our edition will run.
Send your cards and business notices
early.
