The Radical "Darnocratie" paper of this
city, having abandoned Us warfare upon
Ganeral Lougstrast, is now exhausting
its energies upon President Grant—all to the
end that the Administration may bo brought
into contempt with tho “Douiocratio” faction
In Us issue of the 5th inst, it has a labored
artiole purporting to show “How a Texas
lUdioal got office from Grant," wherein it is
asserted, without a particle of proof, and oven
without a roasonablo probability of truthful
ness, that the President bestowed an offioe
upon a Texas Republican who had no other
qualifications than a blackened eye, reocived
at the bauds of some Ku KJux. Growing
warm over his subject, tho editor gives vent
to tho following cataract of words:
“He (Grant) chooses the wouuded, the
buugcd-eycd, tho bloody-nosed, the gouged,
the tb urn pod, the thrashed. Let tho aspirants
get geutcclly kicked by some irate Democrat—
battered over the noggin by a disloyal Ku-
Klux. • • I.ul them proaont thcmiW’lveB bo-
lore the great Grant, uud unveil their loyal
suffering’ll, • • • and the reward will be I
tain."
This is very flue writing. Adjectives are
words used to describe and qualify n*»j
They also servo to fill space. They arc coii-j
venient substitutes for ideas. They are gene
rally in high favor with young writers. When
compounded with adverbs, they muko excel
lent jiugle. They make flue decorations to
empty assertion, and all this whether they
offend Limlly Murray or not !
When the Constitution begun its career un
der its present editorial management, a few
months since, it gave promise of moderation.
It promised its readers something rare in tho
way of high-toned journalism. It deprecate
tho slang habit iuto which it said too many
••Democratic” papers had fallen. It was tc
bo a bright and shiuiug light to Gooigiajoarn
alism. no less an example aud a perfect model
of its p.uty tactics. It even curried its fastidi
ousness so far r.s to propose the dropping off
tho worn out name of its party! Tho name
bad become offensive to correct taste. It had
boon degraded by slang whanging “Domo-
cratio” editors. Henceforth the party should
have high-toued journals; should have a new
song iu its mouth; and should be baptised in
a new name!
Alas for “good resolutions!” Bhakspeare
says tho highway to perditiou is paved with
them. They aro made by tho worst of us
when in a mood of repenianoe. They are
abandoned by the best of us in an hoar of
temptation and mental vacaity ! Thus we go;
always repenting, and yet always making fresh
work for repentance ! Always promising to
do better, yet always falling an easy prey to
temptution. Always plucking at external
motes, yet never discerning internal beams.

Tho New York Herald contains the follow

Washington, September 30, 1869.—In con
lisution with Lieutenant Governor Lowir, of
Virginia, who recently visited Washington,
President Giant said : “There will be no dif
ficulty uboul tho admission of Virginia after
tho mooting of Congress, and all that is re
quired is that they act as though they (the
Legislature) were acting in good faith and de
sired to renew their relations with the general
government.” He spoke at some length about
President Johnson's duplicity towards ihe
South, and said that hi* (Grunt’s) whole ac
tion had been with the single idea of restoring
peace. lie was confident that Virginia recon
struction would not be further retarded.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, who was
present, at tho interview, expressed himself
decidedly in favor of tho immediate admission
of the State under tho reconstruction laws,
and said tliut no further obstacle should Lb
offered by Congress ; that they were tired of
tho long delay and hoped for a speody restora
tion, and th it he would cheerfully advocate]
the removal of tho disabilities of every
who should express himself willing to return
to tho old government in good faith, but cau

rev«nuo for September amountud to $13,029,-

ult., ftgg i *(• .1 $49,631,742. For tho months
of July, . v : ; , ' September, 1868, th
comes from intern'* revenue amounted to
$39,000,000, an incru. of over four mil
lious and a half for thr sa o« period In the
preaont year. This is a gratifying augmenta
tion, and should it continue iu tho same
proportion lor the in muining thruo quurters of
tho fisosl year, the total receipts from internal
revenue will toot up $200,900,000. Last year
they aggregated $160,000,000. This is a
good beginning for Messrs. Boulwell and De
lano, aud they will, no doubt, coutinao as
