the great Radical, of which the following is
specimen:


Gnarled and tough from seventy Winters,


gritty grizzly hitter Rad -


Though our Union fall to spliuters,


Here's to Psnnsylvania Thadi


Though lame his leg, his mind is rapid,


And all the House Is hushsd and glad,


When to squelch some tslker vapid-


Rises Pennsylvania Thad


He's in candor believer.


All may know the thought he had


For mealymouthed deceiver


Is wrinkled Uncle Thad.


Go it. my old shoulder-hitter


For though we think your logic bad


You're just brilliant u're better


Here's to Pennsylvania Thad!


YESTERDAY we received the exciting informa-
tion that General Grant refuses to execute the
President s order for the removal of Sickles and
Sheridan, and the people, as one man, rise up
and applaud the decision of the heroic soldier
General Grant denies the right OF the President
to interfere in the management OF the military
districts created by act Of Congress, and affrms
that under the supplemental Reconstruction Act,
their government is vested in his own office solely
By the conditions of that act, orders of that sort
must pass through the army headquarters, and
all orders relative to the military and emanating
from the President and Secretary of War; must
be issued through the General of the Army. 1t
is not probable that this decisive position has
been assumed by the General without sound ad-
vice, nor is it supposed that it will be departed
from by a man of so much drliberation and firm
ness. We may therefore conclude tn t the ma
lignant despot will not be suffered to wreak his
vengeance upon the brave men whose heroism
has given lustre to the nation


Having been thwarted in that direction, the
headlong mad mau turns upon the Freedmen's 8
Bureau ordering the removal of General How
ard and Offering the Commission to a colored
man, believing that such appointment would &C
casion the resignation of officers, and thus throw
the Bureau into disorder; but bere again the
traitor has been batfled by the patriotism and
manhood of black man who refuses to accept
the office from a recreant like Andrew johnson

"a DEMocRAr NEVER BoLTs HIS TICKET. Let
Union men take warning. Let them not be so
foolish as to suppose they are to derive strength
from any apparent divisions in the Democratic
party. There are none. The "National Repub-
lican" candidates are the choice only of a hand
full of soreheads. The " Independent y ticket
has been put in the field by the Bulletin, Union
and other soreheads, with the intention of de-
feating the Union nominees on the State and
county tickets. This clique have no hope of its
election, and did not have at the beginning
The ticket designed to aid Haight and in
crease the Democratic strength. This it Will do,
if it accompl>hes anything and if there is d
genuine Union man green enough to vote it, he
is to be ptied for his want Of apprehension. We
imagine, however, that there are few who can
be deceived at this time. The case is too plain.
The Copper he IDS are too confident, and the in
dependent" press has displayed entirely too much
maignity to exercise the least influence in per-
suading Union men to their own undoing.


We repeat the sentence, as watchword to be
borne in mind and initiated by Union men on
election day, A Democrat bolts his ticket ?


WARl WAR IA telegram from the Secretary
of the Union Republican Committee at San Fran
CISCO, published in the Appeal contains exciting
intelligence. General Grant refuses to remove
Sheridan and Sickles from their places under the
order of the President, and consequently dead
lock exists between the President and General
Grant What the result will be is question for
time to determine. One thing is certain, II the
news is reliable, General Grant has taken his
position and no power on earth Can induce MIN
to change it. He is as immoveable as the rock
of Gibralter'' and will cling to his position with
the same tenacity he did at Petersburg and Rich
mond when he got the rebels corralled In those
strongh0lds.


Grant, unless he had the right on his side,
would not dare to take so open stand against
the President. All this denotes war The " ooys
in blue }" may have another opportunity anorded
them of making another !" march through Ueor-
pia" Who knows? The news appears to nave

cisco. God grant it may have the tendency OF
uniting Union men all over the State.
| NOBLE SENrrxENr.-In a speech in San Fran
cisco lately, George c. Gorham said:
ITO nv mind, the mere election to the Office
of Governor, would not of itself be success.
True ambition mounts higher. 1t is not satis-
fed with securing place, but labors afterwards
10 secure the good opinions of good people. l
would rather never be Governor than to have it
said that AS Governor, l had failed to meet the
Interpretations of the people of this city and
of the State


And this is the man that the sorehead papers
would have you believe is regular monster
Look to it, Union men, that you do not allow
their misrepresentation deceive you into cast
ing your votes to the advantage of the Copper
| heads.


BACKED DowS.-Last week the Red Bluff SEN
tinei stated that one Schroeder, Of that place,
| would bet one thousand dollars that Haight
| would be elected Governor, and invited Gorham
men to bet or stop blowing. Sheriff Hopping,
OF this place sent the money down through
Wells, Fargo Go 9 Express, TO take the bet,
whereupon the Red Bluff Copperhead buffer
backed down and said he didn't have the money.
| Captain Hopping then authorized D. B. Lyon OF
Red Bluff, to bet the money with any man who
would bet on Haight carrying the State The
bet has not been yet taken. The patriotic b,liy
