Boutwell Drawing the
gr*« “
Radical Pro-
Hon. George S. Boutwell, one of tbe most
prominent radical members of Confess, de
livered a speech in Boston on the night after
bis re-election, in which he ontlined the'
probable policy of his party. After insisting
that there could be no final settlement of the
questions before tbe country until suffrage
without respect of color was allowed by the
South, Mr..B- proceeded to disclose the
means by which the South was to be forced
to comply with the radical demands. We
copy from a telegraphic report:
Coming next to a discussion of policy,
which the fortieth Congress should adopt,
jl r . Boutwell said two great ends must be
brought about: First, universal suffrage.
One way of obtaining this'was by holding
me States as they now are until by their
own motion they do justice to the colored
people. ’
Congress mag abolish the governments of these
States, and establish territorial government, and
declare who shall and who shall not vote.
This is most likely tbe result to which the
action of Congress now tends. The destruc-
nou of these false governments, and the
formation of constitutional governments.
The next object to be accomplished was
the punishment of the President, if he should
be tound guilty of unconstitutional acts. It
he was guilty of unconstitutional acts, he
was guilty of violating any of the laws of
tbe land, the lecturer argued that he snould
be arraigned.
For the purpose of showing that the Presi
dent had violated existing law9, and that
there were charges against him of grave
Inundations, Mr. Boutwell cited two instances.
We know he has said that he has appointed
men to office who canuot take the oath
of July, 1862, because they have aided and
comforted the enemy; and again, that he
also appointed men to office who, at the last
session of Congress, were rejected by that
body when offered for the very same offices
in (which he had placed them, and tbe law
says that the appointments of the Executive
must have the consent of the Senate.
Mr. Boutwell, in his conclusion, predicted
that if tbe Kepublican party did not secure
universal suffrage before 1868, it would fall
out of sight.
Tok Nkgbous Emigrating.—If newspaper
accounts be true, Northern Georgia will
soon be depopulated of negroes. A Galves
ton paper announces tbe arrival there of
Maj. Sorrell, who bad entered into contracts
with live hundred negro families under the
sanction aud recommendation of the Bureau
of this State to remove them to Texas. They
are to be transported to Galvebton before
Christmas, in time to commeuce for the crop
of 1807. Maj. Sorrel informs tbe editor that
there are thousands of the best laboring
freedmen in Georgia, who are anxious to
enter into such contracts as be has made, and
move to Texas; that large numbers ot them
in Northern and Middle Georgia who are in
a destitute condition, owing to the failure of
the crops, are anxious to secure homes where
they can obtain provisions by their labor and
make themselves and families comfortable.
Sowing tiib Wind.—We observe by some
ol our exchanges, published in tbe North
west, that petitions tor tbe impeachment of
the President are circulating and receiving
numerous signatures iu that section. Tbe
circular which accompanies these petitions
justifies the action on the ground that it is
“unsafe to trust power in the hands of a
man whose lawless usurpation may peril, at
any hour, the safety and peace of the Re
public.” There is no doubt that petitions of
this kind will pour into CoDgress in a stream,
during the coming session. The teachings
of the Radical leaders have filled their party
with the idea that the President ought to be
impeached, and the course which they are
now taking in the Northwest is the conse
quence.
Colobbd ijuFFRAGu in Michigan.—The de
cision of the Supreme Court of Michigan,
that persons with less than one-fonrth
African blood in their veins are ‘'white
men,” within the meaning of the Constitu
tion, enfranchised probably one thousand
mea. Some of the Boards ol Registration of
Detroit city, notwithstanding tbe decision,
positively refused to permit men of this class
to register their names, and undoubtedly
would have relused their votes, bad they
not been threatened with arrest. When tbe
election came on, tbe inspectors. wisely
“hauled in their boms,” and tbe parties re
ferred to voted.
lu the couutiy towns equal, difficulties
prevailed, aud in many plaees the votes of
persons with negro blood in their veins were
positively refused, and the question will
probably furnish work for the courts aa the
colored people are resolved to insist upon
their rights. .
Sharp ob General Thomas.. . k
It having been announced by' the Lodi#-!
ville papers that the remains of the late ft,
W. Hanscln were to be brought to that city!
for reinterment by his widow,’ add that they
would be receiveff -by the survivors of his'
brigade, Gen. Thomas, commafider ot the
Department, issued an order prohibiting any
demonstration of a military character on the
occasion, threatening to arrest any one
“wearing the- uniform or side arms or earry-
ing the flag of the late rebel army, or march
ing by military organization.” The Louis
ville Conner says no such military , demon
stration was intended, and characterises, tbe
order, of Gen. Thomas as a wanton and un
justifiable outrage upon the feelings of the
friends of the deceased Confederate officer.
“A very petty piece of spiteful usurpation,
as undignified as it was uncalled for." Tbe
editor thus concludes his article:
It 1. time that military commanders should be re
minded ol the tact that Kentucky is a State of the
Union, enjoying ail the rigbta and prerogatives of any
ot the States; that; the habeas corpus is restored; that
aU the machinery or the civil law is in full operation,
and that military capers are as impertinent as they
are disgusting. Tbe assay is maintained for **iiist-
curity of the country and for the protection, notThe
oppression, of the people. The bread, the army sate
and the gold lace which makes the shoulder straps of
tbe officers are paid lor with money drawn from the
pockets of the people, and the same power which
created the army and brought the military autocrats
into existence can,abolish the army ant 1 trample
shoulder strap* in the, dust. It la fuU time that the
reckless interference with private citizens should
cease. The war isomer; the reign of violence is at
an end; civil law has resumed its away and displaced
military rigor, and nothing now remains bat to teach
military offleta's that they are the servants and not
the masters of the people; and that their .duty it to
protect the nation and not to act ttie part df under
takers at funerals; to await orders and not to give
them. We trust that this lesson will soon be learned.
An Extraordinary Story.—The Parkersburg (West
Virginia) Times publishes a very singular statement
from a man named Robert 8. Steinway, who has
been arrested as tbe murderer of one A. O. Temple,
a New Yorker, who mysteriously disappeared a few
weeks ago in the vicinity of Burning Springs. The
missing man had been, it is stated, in the company of
tlie accused, traveling through the.oil regions Of Ohio
aud West Virginia, aud was last seen with him on a
ramble near Burning Springs on Sunday, October 28.
Stem way’s letter, which is very minute and circum
stantial, is to the effect that the two discovered a re
markable cave near the bank of the Kanawha, entered
through a narrow cleft iu the rocks, which they pro
ceeded to explore. Ur. Temple had a geologist's ham
mer and a sack for BpecimouB, which he filled as he"
went through the qavern. After elow progress through
several subterranean apartments, the pair came upon
a lake, sixty feet long by twenty wide, which, to their
astonishment and unbounded delight, they found
contained not water, but Petroleum 1 Temple at
tempted to measure the depth of it with his hammer,
wheu the loose atones on which he stood gave way,
and he fell into the liquid, aud, weighed down with
the epecimeue, never rose again. Steinway, in spite
of his horror, was able to find bis way out and baek to
his hotel; and then, being resolved to secure the bene
fits of his discovery, said nothing about the fate of his
friend until he could get a lease of the property con
taining the wonderful petroleum cave. To this lease,
made in favor of the heirs of the missing man, he
points to substantiate hia story and prove his inno
cence, 'and signs himself “ a friendless and grief-
stricken man.”
• Panic in the Meat Market—The New
York World of Tuesday notes quite a panic
in the meat .market of that city, in conse
quence of a decline in prices. It has a dis
patch from Buffalo, which alleges that , the
Western drovers, who have been holding
large quantities; are heavy losers.” The
World adds:
“Tbe extraordinary decline in pork and
‘ hog products ’ during the past month re
sulted on Monday in the failure of one large
operator and one or two ‘small fry.’ The
decline in mess pork has been from $36 to
$24 25, prime lard from 19 1-2 c. to 14 l-4c.
per lb., pickled hams from 19 l-2c. to 151-2C.
per lb. Ltve hogs from 12 l-2c. to 7 l-2c.
per lb.; dressed, from 13 l-2c. to 9 l-2c.
per lb.; and so on. Beef declined on Mon
day equal to lc. a pound to tbe consumer,
making about 3c. in the last month. And
the lowest prices above quoted are still high.
In the secoud year of the war pork sold at
$13 per barrel. Speculators mast stand

France and the Poem.—The London
Times states that the Tope has been informed
by tbe Emperor Napoleon that France will
uphold his>~ temporal power - against all
c'omere, and reoccupy Rome in case of re
bellion or invasion. A special Commissioner
was appointed by tbe Emperor to acquaint
the Holy Father with this resolve.
i he Tau4hahsbb Sentinel.—This excel
lent paper comes to us greatly enlarged, and,
like its cotemporary, the Floridian, presents
a most handsome and flourishing appearance.
It is now one of the largest as it is one of
the best, papers in the State. We chronicle
with pleasure this indication of its prosperity,
and wish it success.
After tbe most extensive canvassing it is
ascertained tbat Forney 3 (D. P ) will get
four votes in tbe Pennsylvania Legislature
for United States Senator.

The Death or the Tycoon of Japan.—We learn
from a.dispatch by the Atlantic Cable that the war in
Japan is ended, and that the report of the death of
the Tycoon is confirmed. The war Irose from the
revolt of one of the numerous hereditary princes, or
chieftains—200 iu number, it is said—among whom
the Japanese empire is divided. Of these princes the
Tycoon is the chief, hut they are all subject to the
authority of the Mikado, or supreme ruler of Japan,
who is the spiritual leader of the emp|re. Until with
in a late period it was believed tbat the Tycoon was
the temporal head of the .empire, who carried .on the
government in the name of the Mikado, bur more ac
curate knowledge of hia office and rank baa recently
been obtained, from which it appears that he is but
the first of the hereditary princes, Asaocti, however,
he enjoys very considerable powers, and is general
issimo of the imperial army. The name of the late
Tycoon was Mino Motto.—N^Y* p'iburw.
