RADICAL. PEACE.
We publish in another column au article
from the National Intelligencer with the
above title. It is a trntblul exposition of the
revolutionary policy and practice (they have
no principles) of the Radical party. It is fiom
fellowship with such a party that true North
ern men, snch as the Doolittles, the Adamses,
the Ewings, Blairs, Hendersons, and hun
dreds of others, who were once leaders
of the Union Republican party, have with
drawn from it, arraying themselves with the
Democracy, whosejmission is the restoration
of the Union, the maintainance of the Con
stitution and the laws, the protection of the
rights of the people and the re-establishment
ot the national peace and prosperity. There
are some men amongst us, original Republi
cans, who profess.to be law-abiding men, to
be trne to tbeir race and country, and to de
sire a peaceful perpetuation of our free insti
tutions, the restoration of union and har
mony, and the prosperity and happiness of
the people. We invite the attention of snch
men to the article from the Intelligencer. If
they cannot controvert the charges made
against the Republican party—if they cannot
escape the conviction that the sins against
the constitution, against liberty, right and
justice, the peace and prosperity of the
American people, which axe laid at its door,
are justly charged, then let them ask them
selves if it is not a patriotic duty which they
owe to their conntry, to themselves and their
posterity, not only to dissolve their connec
tion with such a party, but to lend their aid
to rescue what little is left of constitutional
government from their bands.
Read the article, gentlemen, ponder- its
startling truths, which you cannot deny, and
if your love of place aud hopes of promotion
are not stronger than either your self-respect,
your reason, or your love of right and jus
tice, yon will no longer give your adherence
to a patty that has forfeited the respect and
confidence of all trne friends of constitu
tional government, and whose continuance
in power would surely consummate the na
tional ruin.
Cobbection.—We copied, yesterday, an
error in She Atlanta correspondence of the
Augusta Chronicle, which stated that John
K. Alexander, of Thomas connty, succeeded
Judge Wffl. B. Fleming. Mr. Alexander
succeeds Judge Hansell, of the Southern
Circuit. No change has yet been announced
in this Circuit.

Cotton in Florida.—Tbe last Mananna
Courier says: “Tbe late rains have hastened

bat it is believed tbe crop will be aboat one-

Nfoboes Drilling in Stewart Cotnti.
An intelligent planter, writing to the Colum
bus Sun from Stewart county, says:
“Considerable apprehension is fqjt in this
county in regard to tbe conduct of the ne
groes. They are organized into military
companies, are armed to a considerable ex
tent, and drill regularly. Their colored
speakers use very incendiary language. Bul
lock has been informed of the facts.”
Election in Telfair and Irwin Counties.
—In consequence of tbe failure of the Regis
trars of the 16th Senatorial District to hold
elections at tbe proper time in the counties
of Telfair and Irwio, they are unrepresented
in the Legislature. In accordance with
joint resolution of the General Assembly of
the 8tate, Gov. Bullock has issued his proc
lamation requiring the ’ Ordinaries of those
counties to hold elections for members of
the Honse of Representatives and county
officers, in their respective' counties, by giv
ing at least thirty days notice as the law re
quire*.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
BRAObBY AND TUB BAHD»RBPUB*
I.ICANS ARB UNQtlATHFClii
It B66ffis that it ta Indispensable in ofdef
to constitute a perfect scalawag that all the
elements of meanness that degrade human
nature should be compounded in his compo
sition. We have an illustration of this fact
in the course recently pursued by the Bard
of Atlanta towards the notorious Sing-Siogei
Bradley. As pensioned hand-organ of the
Bullock, Brown and Blodgett faction, the
Bard has shown himself eminently qualified
for the position, being distinguished alike for
impudent effrontery, shameless inconsisten
cy, canting hypocrisy, disgusting cupidity,
and utter recklessness, of truth. But It is
only within the few days past that he bas-de-
veloped his base, we may say, black ingrati
tude. We .are no admirer of the illustrious
Sing-Singer—we have a very contemptible
opinion of him—but we confess to a feeling
somewhat akin to pity for him when we re
flect how basely, treacherously he has been
used by his carpet-bag and soalawag friends,
and especially,by the Atlanta Bard. Having
exerted his personal influence and eloquence
in the organization of the Radical party—
having contributed more to promote its suc
cess than any dozen carpet-baggers and scal
awags in its ranks—having suffered indigni
ties, reviliugs, aud various inconveniences
and perils, in securing the* triumph which
placed the party in possession of tbe State
Government—now that he'has rendered all
the aid in his power to give to the carpet
j baggers and scalawags the offices and. plun
der of the State, to be not only disgracefully
kicked out of the Senate by the votes of his
bnckra friends, but to be abused and de
nounced as a “public nuisance,” “a bad, un
scrupulous man,” by tbe pampered organ of
tbe dirty faction which he helped to place and
power, is an extreme of heartless ingratitude
that may well excite tbe fiery indigualion and
resentment of himself and friends, if it does
not elicit the pity of bis enemies.
While Bradley was canvassing in this Dis
trict to carry tbe election which was to put
scores of his bnckra friends in office, place
the Syracusan Ballock in the Gubernatorial
stall, and make the Bard with the “open rear”
Printer of the State, not one word was ut
tered against him by the hand-organ of the
party. Even while he sat in the Senate
from day to day enlightening that body in
reference to parliamentary rules and
casting his votes for Brown and Blodgett for
U. S. Senators, and for Bullock’s nominal
lions for State officers, Judges, <£c., no word
was breathed against the Hon. A. Alpeoria
Bradley. Even in the face of the docamen
tary proofs of his conviction of crime and
incarceration in the State Penitentiary of
New Tork, his bnckra friends voted to sus
tain the ruling of tbe chair and the manceu-
vering of Bollock by which they sought to
screen him from expulsion. In the pride
and magnanimity ol his heart, having aided
by his votes to divide the offices and plun
der among his supposed white friends (not a
nigger in the lot) Alpeoria resigned. That
was a sagacious rose. His course was ap
proved and applauded, and the great Sing-
Singer was about to retire with dignity and
eclat, when in an unguarded moment be
announced himself a candidate for Con
gress. By that indiscretion he fell from tbe
swelling bosom aud tbe relaxed embrace of
the Ballock—with one accord the carpet-
bagers and scalawags frowned him indig
nantly from tbeir presence, and at their bid
ding be is branded and denonneed as a “nuis
ance,” a “bad man,” a “scourge,” a creature
that ought to be “shoved aside, ” by the hand
organ of the party. So sadden and tho
rough was the change in the course of the Era
towards the distinguished Siug-Siuger, that
some of his unsophisticated colored friends
ventured to ask an explanation of the Bard.
The following is his reply:
AARON A. BRADLEY.
Some questions haveing been asked ns in
regard to onr object in writiog tbe paragraph
in reference to tbe above named individual,
which appeared a few days ago, in answer
we have only to state that we regard Bradley
as a scourge to his own race as well as the
community in general. He is a bad, un
scrupulous man, and, if unrestrained, will
lead the ignorant ol his own color into error,
which will injure them very gieatly. We
seek to benefit tbe colored people, not de
stroy them. Bradley is an impediment in
tbe way of everything that tends to promote
tbe welfare of his people. 'He' is shrewd,
and by his shrewdness is able to attain much
influence. Being a bad man, he will not
exert t.uat influence for the good of his peo
ple, but rather for the satisfaction of his own
cupidity.
Now the secret of all this is that Bradley
is in ths way of the carpet-baggers in whose
interest it becomes necessary to kill him
off. B 'adley is no greater nuisance to-day,
and no worse nor more unscrnpulons a man
than he was twelve months ago. Bat Brad
ley did not aspire to Congress then, and he
was useful in drilling the negroes to vote for
white carpet-baggers and scalawags, and
therefore was to be tolerated. A seat in
Congress is worth ten thousand dollars, be
sides the pickings and stealing!. In the
opinion of tbe carpet-bag gentry ten thous
and dollars is a “big thing,” entirely too
good for niggers—and any nigger that as
pires to that position is a “bad man” and a
‘nnisai.ee,” “an impediment in the way of
everything that tends to promote tbe welfare
of bis people,” which consists in voting for
beggarly, upstart carpet-baggers aud scala
wags to hold the offices of tbe country.
A convention of the Radical party is. al
ready called to meet shortly at Blackshear to
nominate a candidate for CoDgress. It is un
derstood that parlies here are endeavoring
to engineer tbe thing so as to seenre tbe
nomination fora hnngry carpet-bagger of
this city. Clift, the would-be impeacher,
having tad a taste of Congressional pay and
pickings, (there are no honors now-a-days)
has returned, we suppose folly instructed
from headquarters as to what is necessary to
be done, in the interests of the Radical
party, its he comes direotly from his mas
ters in Y ashington, it is to be supposed that
he will have the inside track of his carpet-bag
competitor, and be able to manoeuvre the
Convention out of the nomination, now that
Bradley is thrown overboard. To “squelch"
Bradley entirely, as his friend Higbee would
say—to “shove him aside” and leave the
course free to the carpet-bag nominee of the
party, ltai;i Era has opened its batteries upon
him, and is endeavoring to alienate from him
his colored supporters by charging that he
is ‘‘a scot rge to his own race as well as to the
community generally.” What cruel ingrati
tude, whtjt base treachery!
But w'iat need Bradley care for their
nomination. If he will stand squarely
up and. :|aake tbe race on his own hook,
be con cijunt on the support of the great
majority iof the Radicals, of his own
color, whi are beginning to discover tbe
selfishqesij and duplicity of their pretended
carpet-baj • friends, and will have the svm-

Important Humor About Grant.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World telegraphs that journal as follows:
Most extraordinary rumors are afloat in this
city touching the unexpected return of Gen.
Grant from his Western tour, and its relation
to the political canvass. From all I can gather
among those best acquainted with the views of
the members of the Republican National Com
mittee it appears that private letters have been
received from members of Grant’s party, show
ing an anxiety on the part of tbe General to
throw up the candidacy for tbe Presidency.
To this he has been moved by overwhelming
evidences from every quarter of the utter want
of spirit in the Republican canvass, and tbe
tremendous popular tide running in favor of
the Democratic ticket.
All the letters received here, both by the
Congressional and National Republican Com
mittees, are sorely discouraging the Radical
leaders, nor are the letters from the South less
alarming. The blacks cannot be controlled,
and all efforts on the part of carpet-baggers to
prevent exci-sses have so far failed, and ihe
Radicals see that a continuance of these riot
ous and incendiary acts on the pait of the
colored population will add hundreds of thous
ands to the Democratic vote io the North.
Hence the sudden stoppage of Grant’s Western
trip; hence the rumors that he is about to
throw np the candidacy, and the intimations
thrown out in political c roles that the Republi
can National Convention will be called together
again, and rumors have it that a nomination
will be tendered to General Shetman.
A Praiseworthy Act.—The New Orleans
Picayune says : “All the presidents of the
various street rail road companies have come
to the determination to permit the Sisters of
Charity to travel in the cars free of charge.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to those
who were instrumental in effecting this ar
rangement. It ia but just that the meek and
gentle Sisters, whose lives are dedicated to
works of mercy and charity, should be given
this privilege.”
The Montgomery Mail understands that Gov.
Smith will, in a few days, or in ample time,
issue bis proclamation for an election of Presi
dential Electors and members of Congress, at
the regular time for election in November.
The election will be conducted precisely as tbe
Code directs—except that those hitherto dis
franchised by the State Constitution, must file
their applications with the Judge of Probate
of the county, before voting, as provided in
the recent act removing disabilities.
A Batch of Vetoes—Tbe Tallahassee
Sentinel, of tbe 13th', publishes a string ot
six veto messages from carpet-bag Governor
Reed. There was a choice between carpet
baggers in the election of Governor of Florida.
It was perhaps accidental, but it seems the
best man ot the two was elected.
1. Veto of a Common Carrier bill, which
was an attempt to mix colors in cars and
steamboats.
2. An act to incorporate tbe Florida Ex
change Bank, vetoed because of tne existence
or a general law of incorporation,
3. A resolution about tbe payment of Leg
islators, &c.
4. An act to provide for a code of practice,
194 pages long aod reached the Governor a
lew hours before adjournment.
5. A bill regulating fees of officers, which
swelled tbe cost of Radical administration to
an enormous amount.
6. A Radical Charter bill.
The Negro Body-Guard—They Shoot a
Colored Man While on the Way to the
Capitol.—Last nigbt between eight and nine
o’clock, when the Georgetown Zouaves were
on their way to the Capitol to guard the re
mains of Hon. Tbaddeus Stevens, as they
reached Twenty-first street and Pennsylva
nia avenue, they immediately wheeled
around and .discharged a volley down
Twenty-first street, alleging that some negro
had thrown a stene at the company. Before
the firing they seemed disposed to molest a
party of young boys on Twenty-first and K
streets. One colored man, named James
White, was shot through the thigh by tbe
volley. The oaptain afterwards called tbe
company to order, and proceeded ou his
way. When they reached the middle of
Pennsylvania avenne, between Twentieth
and Twenty first streets, some one threw a
stone at them from the other side ot the
avenue. They all levelled their guns
preparatory to firing, when the police
interfered. A squad of police aud
a lieutenant were on the. grounds all
the time, but seemed indisposed to ar
rest them, although pressed by the citizens
of tbe neighborhood. The squad finally
marched off, half of them having their
muskets loaded. We learn that they came
over to Washington prepared for a row, hav
ing prepared their guns before starling.
When they reached the Capitol some disa-;‘
greement arose between themselves and they
bad a regular free fight.—Washington Express,
August 14.
Executive Pardons.—The Atlanta Intel
ligencer says that Samnel Clark, of Spalding
county, tried, convicted of mnrder and sen
tenced to be bun;, has been pardoned by
Governor Bullock and restored to all his
civil rights. Reasons: He was btarried to
trial one day after tbe killing; the witnesses
against him were two ignorant colored wo
men; newly discovered testimony that tbe
life of Clark bad been threatened; be has
been confined in jail two years, and bis feet
have “been badly frost-bitten by tbe intense
cold of two winters.”
James Brown was convicted of tbe offence
of bnrglary, in Murray oounty, and sentenced
to confinement in the Penitentiary for life.
Governor Ballock pardons and restores io
him his civil rights, because.- he only stole a
bushel of corn or meal; the Solicitor who
prosecuted him requested bis pardon, and
the punishment is loo severe for the offence.
Bad Crop Accounts prom West Florida.
—A correspondent writing us ou the 6th in
stant from tbe fertile county of Jackson, in
West Florida, says: “The cotton crop of
this country will be entirely eat up by the
caterpillar by tbe last of this month. Many
fields are already eaten to a honeycomb, and
the older worms began to web a week since.
The corn crop of the connty is very poor,
not a sufficiency having been made for the
couoty’s consumption. There is scarcely a
good and sweet bundle of fodder saved in
the county, owing to the great amount of
rain that has fallen since its harvesting be

Population is Ireland.—'The English jour
nals are felicitating themselves that for the first
time in many years the quarterly report of tbe
Registrar General lor Ireland gives account of
an increase of Irish population. In tbe first
three months of 1868 the birtbs were 38,182,
the deaths 26,274, and the loss by emigration
J2,627v-giving a net increase of 381-. XhiB is
not much, but it is something after all in a
country where-the' fondamedtal right of the
habeas corpus has been in,suspense ever since
February, 1866.

What is the Matter with You?
This is the familiar qneation put to every invalid.
In many cases the answer la, “I don’t know exactly,
but I don’t feel well.” Look, at the countenance of
the man or woman who makes this reply, and you
will generally find that the eyeB are dnU and lnstre-
less, the complexion saUow, the cheeks flacld, and
tbe whole expression of the face dejected. Interro
gate the invalid more closely, and yon will discover
that Constipation, the result of a disordered
stomach and a torpid liver, is at the bottom of the
mischief. -That’s wtut’a the matter.” Whoever
has experienced the effects of

Destroying the Ants.—Tho following is
said to be a sure way of ridding houses and
closets of these little pests:
Procure a large sponge, wash it well and
press it dry, which will leave the ceils quite

and place it where the aDts are troublesome.
They wilt soon collect upon the sponge and
take up their abode in thd-; cells. It is only
