Radical Policy (Or the Next Scealon of
CouKreee.
Somo distinct iilca of what U to be tho Radi
cal policy at tho next session of Congress is not
only desirable, wo presume, to our readers, but is
important as affecting the business interests of
tho country, for it is truo that tho very uncer
tainty which hangs over it, of itself alone, is de
pressing to every enterpriso and industrial pur
suit, irow ono cud of tho land to the other.—
Evidences of this wo noto in most of our North
orn exchanges. Failures aro numorous in com
mcrcial circles, while in tho manufacturing, wo
noto much distress prevailing among tho opera
tives by tho stoppage of mills in several impor
tant localities. Add to this tho tightness of tho
inoucy market, and tho absolute refusal on the
part of Northern capitalists to extend any loans
South, on account, ns they openly allege, ot its
•' political situation,” our people aro now in a
more distressed condition than they have ever
been known to be, either before or since the
war. Hence the solicitude ns to tho luture pro
gramme of the Radical Congress. 1' rom our
best sottreo of information, our namesake at its
important standpoint, the National Capital it
self, wo gather tho following, to which wo invite
the attention of our readers:
“ The close of the second session of tho For
tieth Congress enables us to form a distinct idea
of the operation and tendencies of the Radical
policy and legislation upon the great and per
■lianent interests of the country. I' rom the acts
or this and tho previous session, we may judge
of tho course of legislation for the next session
upon the subject of reconstruction, and of the
public debt and expenditures. Wo have before
had occasion to remark upon the tendency ol
radicalism towards anarchy and disunion, and
repudiation of the public debt Congress did
much at the July session just closed to confirm
and promote all these tendencies.
“It became evident that it was no part of the
Radical policy to admit the ten excluded South
ern States into the Union in time to enable them
to take pnrt in the next Presidential election,
unless they should present themselves under cir
cumstances affording the most positive proof
that the negro Radical element will have the en
tire control of their political course in future.—
No assurance can be given that this will bo so
longer than for a year or two. Intelligence, pro-
l>crty, and numbers are on the side of the white
population, and ultimately that must be the con
trolling political power. If negro suffrage be
established by military force, it will last just so
long as the military power shall be present and
wielded by the Radical damagoguesof this Con
gress, aud no longer. Forced upon the people
of the South by arms, negro suffrage will not be
binding on them. They will claim and exercise
the right ot establishing their own laws ns to
suffrage, and so will many of the non-seceding
States. The Southern and Northern Conserva
tive papers will necessarily be combined to over
throw this military usurpation of tho Radical
Congress. Tho Radical leaders know and dread
this result, and therefore have framed and passed
an act supplemental to the prior reconstruction
act, which, if practicable at all, will afford ine
vitable pretexts for tho continued exclusion
of tho ten Southern States. At tho next ses
sion, it is their manifest and, in fact, avowed
purpose to carry out this policy of exclud
ing from all participation in the next Presi
dential election those of the loyal States that are
opposed to their continued political rule. They
propose, at the next session, to “take in hand” a
number of States that are, or promise soon to be,
anti-Radical, and under the pretense of affording
them a guaranty of a Republican form of Gov
ernment, to force upon them negro-Radical State
Constitutions. Two of the largest States of the
Union arc in this predicament—New York and
Pennsylvania. Besides these, they have to “take
in hand” the States of Connecticut, Delaware,
.Maryland aud Kentucky. AH those loval Stales
riiilib, at least solar as the next Presidential
election is concerned. As the Radicals and their
party arc losing ground very rapidly among the
people, it is not cortain that they can retain for
another Presidential election after that ol 1808*
moro than two States, Massachusetts and Michi
gan. All the other States may be tlius outside of
the Radical Union and tho Radical party, fortu
nately separated from the Sumner, Wilson
Chandler, aud Howard dominion, will lie able to
combine in tho formation of “ a more perfect
Union."
“ Tho Radicals have, at the session just closed
presented to the country tho great issue of lit
constitutional right of oacit State to form for it
self its own laws respecting suffrage. Tit
country, North and South, will accept it, ami
upon it the elections for tho next Congress and
for tho next Presidency will be decided."
We confess that w'c do not lake any present
comfort from tho foregoing programme; nurd
we recognize in it any future comfort, at least
lor many years to come. Tho story is told of n
old Minister of tho Word, who, during the la
w ar, upon being interrogated as to the fate <
the Confederacy, bluntly, aud us was supposed
by ono of his brethren, irreverently replied, “it
is going hell-wards fast." Shocked at the reply
the brother to whom it was made, communicated
the piece of irreverence to another, expressing
much sorrow thereat. The second brother de
termined himself to put the same question to the
old preacher, and embracing an early opporlu
uity, did so—tho same reply, "it is going hell-
wards fast,” was given, but the manner in which
tho words wero spoken, the look accompanying
their utterance, indicated any other though! than
that of impiety or irreverence. So it is now
with the writer of this article. He believes ttie
coiuitry, the whole country, is doomed to ruin
by the Radical Congreas, or, to use a more ex
press! ve term, disclaiming all idea of irreverence,
that “it is going hell-wards fast," ifa kind Provi
dence does not put it in the hearts of tho Nortli-
}; ern people to stay it in its passage to that abode
of Satan. Tho people of tho South, of them
selves, are powerless. If they of the North do
not wake up, tliero will be no day of political
redemption, and the legacy bequeathed to their
i! children by tho men of ’70, will pass away for-
1 ever aud ever.
Southern Debts.—A Washington dispatch
to the New York Commercial Advertiser says:
“ Tho President’s suggestion that the denial of
political rights to tho Southern States, and the
overthrow ol their respective governments ac
cording to the Reconstruction acts, render the
United States liable for their debts, is regarded
as possessing great force by able Republican
Jurists in both Houses.”
Osorct* New* vu New Yortts
“Quondam,” tho Georgia correspondent of tin
New York JYiiws, closes his last lottor, dating
from Augusta, tho 17th, as follows:
You may have remarked that Ex-Governor
Brown took no part In the roccnt Radical Con
vention held at Atlanta. It is said that ho abso
lutoly declined to do so, and that ho lias out
loose from Ills associates of a fow weeks ago, be
ing unwilling to go tho length to which harrow
and Marcom have gone. ... ,
Tho Convention will cortalnly ho adopted. Of
tho white votos registered in Georgia, a majority
will vote against it; but tho negro voto will bo
all polled and will bo a unit in favor of it. It
will lie controlled and directed by such mon as
Farrow aud Bryant, Marcom and Eborhnrt, and
will adopt such a constitution as ovon Mr. Tbad-
dous Btcvens will approvo. But what then V
Will such a consummation bo reconstruction
such os tho intelligent masses at the Nortii de-
siro in tho interests of tho whole country ? These
aro questions whicli thinking men ask, aud
which I hear every day ot my life.
War Preparations in France.—Somo of
tho leading journals both in Europo and this
country oxpress the opinion that a war betweeu
France and Prussia is inevitable. Tho New
York Herald has a short paragraph on tho sub
ject as follows:
In spito of tho Exposition and tho royal visits,
the empire seems drifting into war. Horses are
being extensively purchased and tho military
worsiiops aro in full blast. In Frankfort and
oilier financial centers tlicso war appearances
aro creating consldurablo distrust. Tho letters
from our special correspondents at Luxemburg,
at Coblcntz and at Mayenco are not moro re as
suring. Sooner or later a collision between
Franc# and Prussia is inevitable. Notwithstand-
, ttie doings of tho London Contcrence, spring
or early summer may witness Europe in arms,
and the two greatest military nations of the day
in deadly conflict, on the ancient battle field of
Europe.
The Memphis Money Market.—Tho Mem
phis correspondent of tho Nashville Union <£■
Dispatch writes from Memphis:
Ii any old curmudgeon about Nashville lias
any money lie would loan on A. No. 1 paper, at
ten per.cent, per month, lie cau find any number
of customers in this city. Our banks are nu
merous ami tlioir capitnl in inverse ratio to their
numbers. It is quite time that Chase’s system
of banking was closing its career. National
banks aro shaving shops, and like our former
tree banks in many instances, aro based upon
airy nothingness. George Francis Train is right.
Bonds should bo converted into greenbacks and
with greenbacks discharged, aud the whole sys
tern of Federal banking should be reformed or
annulled.
Condolence.—It is stated on good authority
that a letter ol condolence on the death of Maxi
milian addressed by Napoleon to tho Emperor
of Austria, was to the following effect: I send
you the expression of my condolence on the
dreadful news of tho death of the Emperor
Maximilian. My grief is the moro lively because
I feel the responsibility of tho painfhl part I have
had to perform in this unfortunate affair; but
God, who penetrates our hearts, knows I never
had any other object than to extend to those dis
tant places the influence of our civilization. In
doing this, I have found no nobler or more
worthy assistant than your Majesty’s unfortunate
brother.
The Round Table, in alluding to the threaten
ed invasion of Mexico, by filibusters, says “the
piebald ragamuffins who, for nenrly half a ccn
tury, have drenched that beautiful land with
blood and bade defiance to tho progress of the
civilized world, may well give placo at last to
tho aspiring warriors, thinkers, and workers of
our own raco, who liavo long been watching for
the time when such a great movement could be
effected witli the best chanceB for direct success
and the least probability of interference from
without to effect its permanency.”
A Desperate Man.—A prisoner named Fra-
| zicker, under sentence of death in the Rockland
county Jail, New York, for murder, on Monday
last shot Sheriff Thomas DeNayellis, who was
[on his accustomed rounds, and committed sui
cide by shooting himself. DeNayellis is still
jalive. The wife of the prisoner had visited him
in Sunday, and was arrested on suspicion of
wing procured the revolver for him.
One of Brownlow’s judges fined a "loyal"
five cents for trying to shoot a "rebel,” giv-
ig the excellent legal reason that the rebels bad
ed to gain their independence in tho field and
uid failed, and that now they could not be al-
owed to avail themselves of the courts to prose-
utc Union men.
Poor Carlotta.—The Vienna Post says that
the insanity of Carlotta has become so confirmed
and so violent that she cannot be left alone for a
moment. She is constantly endeavoring to de
stroy herself. At rare intervals sho has sane
moments, in which she declares: "I do not want
to live. I prefer death to such a life as this.—
Whero is my husband ? Shall I never see him
again? No, no; he is dead, and yeti Btill live,
Not a quarter of an hour passes but what the
vuiy uouuTUIl it she will survive her husband
long.
A New Fractional Currency.—To meet
the demands of tho public, there will be issued
from tho Treasury Department, in a fow weeks,
an additional fractional currency note, of the
denomination of fifteen cents. Tho principal
embellishments on tho face of this note are an
engraved likeness of General Grant on the right,
and of Lieutenant General Sherman on the leit.
1 he back of the note will be green, with the
figure “15” on each side. The bronze figures
which have been placed upon other denomina
tions will be omitted.
The Danokr of Violent Exercise.—The
Boston Herald says: The recent death of a stu
dent of Brown University, Mr. Lemuel G. Perry,
was caused by abscess resulting from inflamma
tion of the psoas muscles, brought on by exces
sive exercise at the time of the University match
game of ball between the students of Harvard
and Brown, some two weeks since, in which lie
engaged witli great ardor. He had previously
been a remarkably healthy aud vigorous young
man.
Cholera.—The Lawrence (Kansas) Journal
says recent arrivals from Fort Gibson report the
cholera very bad at that post, especially among
the colored troops. Nearly all the whiles arc
leaving, aud it has been suggested that the town
he burned to stay the ravages of tho disease,
though how such a course would be of benefit is
not stated. Work lias been generally suspended
at the post.
A Whopper—The statement in the Radical
papers that there are three thousand men banded
together at Memphis to prevent tho negroes from
voting next Thursday. The object of sucli lies
is to beget an excuse to overwhelm the polls on
election day witli the powerful presence of an
extra force of the shirt-tail militia.
Noiiilitv op Labor,—The Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher delivered a sermon in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, on the evening of the 21st, on the
“Nobility of Labor,” in whicli he said that more
public men of eminence had started from the
business of typo setting than probably from any
other occupation.
More op the Roobrbville Riot.—Among
our telegraphic dispatches this morning, will be
found one in reference to the Rogeraville riot.
A correct version of the affair, copied from a
Knoxville pnper of tlio 25th, will be found on
tho first page of to-day’s Intelligencer.
The Old TbaA'e
a Opinions.
The No# York Herald takos up the impeach
ment fizzle in connection with tho recently ex
pressed opinion of Tliad. Stevens, that as a prac
tical measure the thing was impossible, and thus
attempts to account for tho milk in tho cocoanut
and tho hair on tho animal. Repeating tho
statements of Thad, the “ Napoleon of the
press” continues:
Tlicso are extraordinary declarations in tho
face of tho recent solid voto of the Republicans
of both Houses in passing tlioir new bill over tho
President’s veto. Wosoe no division hero and
no signs of wavering, and yet Mr. Btevons de
clares that “it is impossible to pierce tho panoply
which surrounds tho White Houso." What is
ho hinting at V Is it “tho cohosivo power of tho
nihllc plunder?” Evidently so. But how does
t nffcct the composition of the two Houses ? It
must be in tho bargaining (or and selling of of
fices. Wo heard, too, at tho last soasion, that a
f ood deal of this bargaining between tho Whito
iouso in its appointments aud tho Senato in its
confirmations was going on upon the principle
of giving something to Dick in order to get
something for Tom and Harry. Wo apprehend,
however, thnt if Mr. Stevens thinks that the anti-
impcaclimcnt wind in Congress sits in this quar
ter he is wide of tho mark. In his lato conver
sation at Lancaster with one of our traveling
correspondents we guess the old commoner was
nearer the solution of tho mystery.
There are, in short, ntleasttwo rival republican
factions mining nud countermining for tho next
Presidency. Wo will call them tho Radical and
Conservative, or tho Chase aud Grant factious.—
Tho first is a powerful body, backed by tho na
tional banks nud tho bulk of ull the other agents
connected with Mr. Chase’s financial system,
wliilo the conservative faction have but little to
depend upon beyond tho popularity of General
Grant. As between these rivnl factions, Presi
dent Johnson rany bo sot down as a cipher or an
unknown quantity which may be thrown out of
the estimate, if we simply look at his political
notions. This impeachment difficulty lies with
Old Ben Wade," President of tho Semite, and,
in the event of the removal of Andrew Johnson,
President ot the United Stales.
But why any clashing in regard to this substi
tution ol Wade for Johnson in the White House V
Wo have only to suppose that Mr. Wade, as a
Radical, is a supporter of Chief Justico Chase for
tho succession, to get at the key to the difficulty.
Thus, if promoted to the White Houso, there is
reason to fear, not so much that President Wiule
will make a clean sweep of President Johnson’s
pet otilce-lioldera, but that Radicals, who can
pronounce the shibboleth of Chief Justice Chase
ns a Presidential candidate, will be appointed to
fill all these vacancies, from the Minister to Eng
land down to the postmaster at Confederate Cross
Roads. It is said that “ Old Ben ” aspires to the
Exccntivo Mansion himself, but wo apprehend
Hint his real position is that of armor bearer to
tho Chief Justice. In either capacity, however,
lie would be a stumbling block in the Whito
IIouso to tho republican conservatives, and be
fore tho meeting of tho grand party convention
in his distribution of the spoils he might throw
all tlieir fat in the fire.
It follows, therefore, that their policy is to let
well enough alone. If President Johnson is
not much inclined to help them on the Grant
platform, he is not disposed to hurt thorn; whilo
ills implacable hostility to tho Radical impeach
ment faction is so mucli clear gain. The Re
publican Conservatives, accordingly, cannot find
in the evidence taken by the Judiciary Commit
tee of the House, nor in that within the last few
days furnished by Mr. Johnson himself, anything
calling for his removal from office. Herein, no
doubt, lies that peculiar composition of the
House and of tho Senate so mysteriously hinted
at by “Old Thad.” The Chase Radicals, it is
feared, will hold the winning trump card witli
the transfer of Mr. Wado to tho placo hold by
“the man at the other end ot the avenue;” and
so the anti-Chase Conservatives are opposed to
tho impeachment remedy for Mr. Johnson’s fol
lies and blunders.
IIow this difficulty is to bo solved remains to
bo seen. As the Radicals, however, in both
Houses have the majority of tlieir party vote,
they have the power to make a settlement
through a party caucus, and “to this alternative
they may come at last.” If so, Andrew John
son, as tho next part of tho programme in or
der, will be indicted by the House and tried ami
removed by the Senate. Otherwise, we shall
have a split in tho Republican party, whereby
President Johnson may to the end ol his term
wield the balance of power.

A Heavy Joke—Tho Radical papers of Ten-
cautioning voters to look well to their iu-
its next Thursday, lest the Conservatives
dm a spurious article upon them.
Insolence.—Somebody has Baid that inso
lence from a man of spirit challenges a degree
of respect lor tho daring that holds its author
responsible for tho aggression; but from a pol
troon it excites tho cumulative disgust provoked
by blending impertinence with cowardice.
IIuMiiua.—Old Humbug Barnum wants to get
into Congress by a charge that he was defeated
at the late election in Connecticut by fraudulent
means. That’s pretty cool on tho part of
Phineas.
Texas.-It was stated in tho dispatches a few
duys ago that General Sheridan would remove
all civil officers in the provinco of Texas. As
no move to that end has yet been mode public,
it is likely tho report was without foundation.
Tennessee.— 1 The Nashville papers state that
Brownlow’s melish aro being scattered through
out tho State, to superintend the ballot-box farce
to come off noxt Thursday.
1 aykttk County.—A private letter lrom
l ayette says registration is progressing quietly
in that county. Tho whites have a majority.
Doesn't Object to the Term Negro.—A
correspondent writing to tho Lako City (Florida)
Press, describing a largo meeting held in Co
lumbia county, recently, makes the following
remarks:
Several gentlemen “ of color” made remarks
or speeches; of these. Mr. Miu,-.b/ill
worn "negro," whether right or wrong, was ap
plied to tlieir race by the world, and they had to
tako it, like the sick child takes medicine, either
with sugar or without it. That ho was not
ashamed of the namo or his color; that he was
ns his Creator made him; that the interests of
the black and white races were the sume; that
duty and interest lay in each promoting the
other’s welfare; that the blacks had a fault of
taking up witli every new face which flnttered-
they did not like to listen to tho truth, flu said
you (jot to live witli these white people; you’
can't drive them out; you can’t expect to pros
per, if they do not. Somo of the speakers were
quite radical, aud a little abusive of the whites
were the " rebs ” to show the same angry pas
sions, at least in public, against tho blacks, it
would be taken as cruel, savage and rebellious
1 hoy do not mean all they say. Thu conduct
of tho blacks is generally good.
Important Ruling op United States
Courts in Whisky Fraud Cases.—In a case
recently tried before the United States District
Court, says the Quincy (Illinois,) Whiy, Judge
1 rent decided that in contests over distilled
spirits seized for violation of internal revenue
laws, the burden of proof rests upon the party
claiming the property, and not upon the Govern
ment. It will be remembered that Judge Nelson
of New York, rendered u similar decision a short
time since. Although this looks like overruling
a iuudamental principle of tho law of evidence
there is really no injustice in it, since tax-paid
spirits always bear “ear marks” by which they
can be traced hack to the very still that produced
them.
Judgei Treat also ruled in the same ease, that
actions for the confiscation of property under the
revenue laws are ijuasi criminal in their nature,
and that, therefore, a party claimant cannot lie
allowed to testify os a witness under the act of
1808, making all persons legal witnesses in trials
before the United States Courts, “irrespective ot'
color or interest.” These decisions are very im
portant, as showing that the courts are deter
mined to construe the tax laws in the interest of
honest tax payers.
A Desperado Killed.—A correspondent of
tho Louisville Courier, writing from Glasgow,
Kentucky, says:
“ On the 18th instant John Morrison shot and
killed an East Tennessean by the namo of Mur-
lin, from Washington county, East Tennesseo
This Martin was in the Federal army, and had
been a perfect desperado, having, according to
ills own words, killed more than one unarmed
rebel. Martin had a difficulty of some kind
with Mr. John Morrison, whose life he threat
ened and endeavored to take by waylaying him,
lying in wait in a barn one entire day for Mr’.
Morrison. Mr. Moriison, growing uneasy for
Ids life, went over to Martin’s house to see him
about peaceably settling tho difficulty. Ho found
Martin near his houso and spoke to him, Marlin
replying thnt ho was going to kill him, turning
at the sume time and going into the house to get
ids gun. As Martin was entering his door Mor
rison shot him, killing him instantly. Mr. Mor
rison immediately gavo himself up to tho au
thorities. He is a peaceable, Inoffensive gentle
man, well liked by all who know him.”
New Orleans.—A correspondent of the Cre
scent City writes tho Charleston Courier under a
recent date:
Just now New Orleans has Mexico on the
brain. The desire to revengo Maximilian’s death,
and to bring tho savage Juarez and his compa-
tnots to justice, la At fever heat, and has swept
uway, for tho nonce, all concern about registra
tion, reconstruction, and oven tho city currency
If anything could have fanned this flame, it was
tho sentiments which Congiess baa just uttered,
und whicli the mass of tho Radicals have re
ceived with applause. Wo already enjoy a bad
pre-eminence in manners, and those in authority
seem determined that our morals suffer ahamu by
comparison.
The Indians.—The Indians on the Western
plains are so remarkubly addicted to stealing that
t has given rise to a suspicion—and a report has
been circulated to that effect—that tho cattle
running and tho ranch plundering and tho train
robbing are the acts of whilo mon disguised os
Indians. We do not reckon the hypothesis at
ull creditable to the race we belong to.
A North Carolina negro woman cut off
her husband’s head so that she might marry a
white man.
Prom Richmond.
Richmond, July 20.—’The United States Dis
trict Court commenced its session to-day. Judge
Underwood in his chargo said the grand Jury
would have a new class of cases before them in
which illegal registration would be charged.
He urged moderation, as many had registered
upon Hie strength of the Attorney General’s
opinion and thnt of the District Commander, and
had got intended to commit perjury. If any
were presented it should not be the ignorant, but
tire prominent men who knew better.

Interesting Law Suit.—Wo clip tlio para-
of the 25th:
A sable damsel, rejoicing in the historic and
revolutionary name of Jefferson—Miss Anna
Jefferson—on Wednesday morning lust applied
to Justice Love for a warrant against a certain
gay and festive citizen of this city for the offense
of bastardy. Tho warrant was duly issued upon
the affidavit of the injured fair one, and tlio de
fendant arrested according to law. Upon being
placed in “ durance vile,” wo understand the gay
deceiver appealed to the agent of the lrccdmen’s
bureau, who, it is said declined to tako cogni
znnee of the case. The agent, who seems to be
a sensible and clever gentleman, very properly
decided that cases of this class legitimately be
long to the jurisdiction of the civiltribunuls.
1 lie unfortunate individual who has thus fallen
into the ruthless clutches of tho law, being (as is
understood) a thorough Badicul ami Loyal
Leaguer, begins doubtless to realize that “ he
that soweth the wind shall reap the whirlwind.’ 1
Wo understand the case will bo tried this (Thurs
day) evening.
