Single- Copies <1 the (inn For *ale at lire Radical Candidate for the Prct- idencr. Ii wUi be Men bj the letter of our New York oomepoodeot, ia to-d»y’« paper, that be ia of opinion that General Grant will not get the Radical nomination for the Preeidency in the approaching elec tion. He thinks Ur. Seward will be the man, ate. Now, aa intelligent and aa observant at we know our oorreepondent to be, yet in this matter we are equally “confident in the belief ” that no man but Grant atanda the ghost of a chance for the nom- lnation of hia party. He ia almost aa certain to be their candidate aa that to- morrow'a son will riae; and it ia almost jost as certain that Scmner, Seward, Trnmbnll, Greeley and other prominent malcontents will support him. The idea of any one or more of these Radical chiefs either opposing Grant or co-operating with the Democracy is utter ly fallacious, and time will so prove it to be. A. H. 8. OCR NEW YORK CORRESPON DENCE. Latter Vram Oksarrar—W. H. Bawa Hid ObI-AmIIi*/ HruabllcaR Caw d«(t Required. New York, February 17, 1872, THK QUESTION OF QUIHTI0N8. That question, Who will be the Re publican candidate for the Presidency of the United States in the coming Presi dential contest, ia not yet known, but yonr correspondent is confident in the belief that it will not be Gen. Grant. There ia one man who has all the re quisites that the said party mod approve. He ia adroit and skillful in the use of means to accomplish his purposes. He is n sagacious politician, very acceptable to tho Republicans of the Eastern States. It was hia boast that all his knowledge in polities “had been acquired by him from tho Hussookasotts school. ” Was he not a Radical of tho Radicals when he assert ed, in tho Senate of the United Btatos, that “tboro is a higher law than the Constitution t ” Among other instances of this higher law, did he not exerciso it in touching the bell for arbitrary arrests and imprisonments ? He is naming himself for the Presi dential race by keeping himself out of the way of being interviewed, or making speeches, or being involved in political questioask Hia beau ideal in politics is tho Massachusetts school. He and the down East politicians understand eaoh other perfectly, and will only talk or write v.-hon “it will pay.” W. H. Seward is hovering around in all directions, until he can alight and seise upon his prey. Onsznvnn. Tlse Southern Pacific. The Pittsburg Commercial, in ono oi its issues of lust week, had tho following paragraph: It is reported that Col. T. A. Scott and bis friends have virtually withdrawn from tho Union Paolflo Road, although he ia yet President of that company. The interest that has succeeded to the management is understood to bo the New York Central. Tho experience of tho last two months with tho snows of the mountains has seriously qualified the proapeot of the road for all tirno to come. Meanwhile Col. Scott has keeu pushing Ilia oorqcests in a more genial climato, looking to a continental crossing tku will he liable to no extraordinary obstruc tion. This was significant of some now movement by tho great “Colossus of roadt," und it bocomes all the more sig nificant upon tho appearauoe of the fol lowiug paragraph, taken from the Wash iugton Chronic!* of Tuesday: The arrangement bas been perfected by which tho kexaa Pacifia Railway pass er into the hards of an associatiuu of capitalists under tho leadership of Col. Thomas Scott, President of the Penn sylvoma Central. Tho Texas Pacific ex tendi from Marshall, Texas, to Hun Diego, a distance of 2,000 miles. It is entitled to a grant of 13,440,000 acres of public lands from the Geueral Govern ment, besides a grant of lands from Texas. It is said that Col. Soott con temp ates tue use of tho narrow gauge iu its construction, though this will prac tically isolate it from the other railroad lines. By the new arrangement, the most powerful railway oombinatiou in the world has been completed. It has for a long time been apparent that Col. Scott was ooguisaut of the great a Wantages that would accrue from the possession of tho Southern Pacific route, kid he baa been steadily moving in that direction until now ho has the whole thing in bis grasp. It is hardly proba ble, however, that he will attempt the experiment of a narrow gauge over a trans continental which will ultimately baootne the principal means of trans porting freight and passengers between the East and Weal. Men's Fashions in Parting the Hair. A fashion writer ays; "Effeminate men have long considered it the thing to pert their hair in the middle, while, on the other heed, dashing young women, given to masculine ways, delight to ap pear with short, early heir, parted at the ride. In both caaea the partiea show lliiniiaalna ia their true character. It would be well if the lew allowed them to change costumes with each other. By a Paris letter it appear* that this side parting ia to be the fashion. We doubt it, mainly beet see snob e division oannot to that. It is fortanste this is the case. We do not deny that a handsome girl adds to—can wo say her bcanty? no, rather her style—by parting her nair at the side, but it gives such an sir of fsst- naas that we should not like the The Consequences of Their Crimes. Sin brings its own punishment. Vil lainy may be successful for a time, bat its career, however brilliant, is short lived—invariably ending in disgrace. The world knows this; and strange, that kowover wickedly disposed a muu may ho naturally; however inclined one may bo to steal and defraud lor the sake oi pres ent gain, he has not enough cummon tense, aud tho exercise of rcusou, to save him from doing wrong. People ought to do right from se(/lsh motives, if actua ted by nothing higher. It pays best in the long run, to be honest; and men wbv do not square their live upon correct principles, ought it seems to ns, to pursue a course of rectitude for tbe sake of pol icy, it they would only consult their own inlsretl; tor there is no greater truth than that “ honesty it the best policy." It is the best way to make money,, and the only sure way of being able to retain it in peace, aud enjoy tbe fruits of what is mode. No more forcible illustration of the truth of what ia hero stated could be giv en than tho history of the thieving car pet-bag gang, who have robbed and plun dered the South ever since the closo of the lute war. They are all disgraced— even in the eyes of their friends, patrons and protectors. They are fugitives, or in prison, or indicted for high crimes, or felons, aud forsaken by all who ever were their friends, except those who have par ticipated in their plunderings; and the sympathy of such is not. worth much. Gen. Urant and the Congressional fac tion are directly responsible for all tho mischief done by these vultures, aud for all the infamy and o^pm which justly at tach to their iufernal conduct. The ad ministration placed them iu power, and has protected them with its bay onets. With bayonets, the party has pinned na to the earth whilo the thugs aud brigands rifled oar pockets. All this is done—not only in violation of natural right and justice, but in flagrant violation of the Constitu tion and laws, and their oaths of office. They have eagerly pursued their objoot- tbat of publie plunder—as much so as a hungry wolf would devour its prey. But the day of reckoning is dawning, and it will yet shed its light into all their dork ways and vaiu tricks. Their crimes an producing their legitimate fruits! Six brings its own rVNismxnNT 1 and a course of wickodness cannot long prosper! Even Gen. Grant and hia Radical advi ser* and faetionists who aro directly re sponsible tor all this villainy, are shrink ing back from its oonsequenoes. Grant has kicked oat that miserable plunderer, Robb, of the Savannah Cus tom House. Ho has appointed Atkins to succeed Robb, and Dover to succeed At kins—both of whom aro gentlemen of good standing and unquestioned integri ty. He and hia advisers turned a deaf ear to tbe appeals of Bullock aud Conley in the late special election in this State, and allowed the peofds to hurl them from plaoe and power. All their strong cries and tears and wailing calls for further protection woro vain. It wns cruel beyond degreo in Grant thus to forsuko his pets, whom ho had eucour- aged aud protected iu their crimes till they were ruined, and then lcavo them to their fate; but such are the consequences of wrong doing. This turn in tho tide of robbery aud oppression is not duo to any virtuous in stincts, or any desire to do right or re turn to tho paths of roctitudo, on the part of tho Radical faction; but solely to the foot that the eyes of the people of the Union are opened! Their villainies are exposed, and can no lougor be con cealed ; and they quail beforo tho storm of a virtuous publio iudignatiou which they sec arising. It is more than they dare to faco. The people of the North caunot aud will not indorse tho enormities which the Radical faction lmvo perpetrated behind the thin gauze of tho cry of "Loyalty" and tho saving of the Union, This scrcou was erected to hide their crimes, but it uo lougcr an swers that purpose. Tho exponents of the faction are repudiating their prote ges, and renouncing their own teachings. They lmvo shouldered n load which they cauuot carry, aud are throwing it off. It is the best they cuu do; but the stiuk of their villainies wi" remain with them forever. Its odor oau uever be washed out, but will stick to thorn more olosely than tho shirt of Nessus world without ond. The spell is broken and relief is com ing; but the Radical party and its leaders ore responsible for the plunderings,thefts, murders and other politioul outrages which have taken place in the South. 4-4-4 CONTENTS or tbs “ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN,” FOB TUB WEBB BBDIBO WEDNESDAY.
