“MY POLICY” GRANT—A SEVERE
TIIRCST FU M A RADICAL PAPER.
From the New York Eve' lr.g Pest ]
Senator Sumner opposed the President’s
San 'Domingo sc ieme. Thereupon the
President removed, and so far us he cruld
do so, disgraced Senator Sumner’s friend.
Mr. Motley.
Senator Scliurz opposed the President’s
San Domingo scheme And now the Pres*
ident removes fr.m office Senator Sehurz’s
iriends in Missouri. Our Washington cor
respondent telegraphed yesterday :
“The President has decided to thr'w the
weight of his official position and the influ
ence of the Administration in favor of the
McCiurg ticket in Missouri, and again* the
revenue reform ticket, headed by B Gratz
Brown. During an interview with your
c o-respondent to-day, the President said he
had already removed two or three office
holders fur supporting the ‘bolters’ ticket/
as lie called it, and other removals would
be promptly made ns soon as good men
capable of filling the different offices could
be found.”
W hen the Senate rejected the San Domin
go tieaty, the President who had as is very
well known ir Washington, stooped to very
dubious experiments to win support in toe
Senate for that measure -which had no
friend# anywhere but in the President’s
household— threatened to punish the Sena
tors who voted against the treaty, and were
conspicuous in opposing it, by removing
tbeir friends from office He has n »w, in
'wo prominent cases, carried out his pur
pose.
G“i). Grant does not entertain a very high
"f'inion of Andrew Johnson. Does he
know that he is imitating Mr. Johnson in
one of the acts which made that person
most odious to the people? Mr. Johnson
was headstrong, willful, determined; anti
wh(*n ‘my policy,” as he called it, met with
oppos tiim, he “punished” those who dared
to differ with him, just as Gen. Grant is now
“punishing” Senator Sehurz
Mr. Johnson had a “policy,” which,
whether right or wrong, had at least the
merit of concerning a qu stion of real im
portance. If he interfen din elections, and
“punished” his opponent*, it was because
be believed the future welfare of the coun
try depended upuu the success of “my
policy.”
But Gen. Grant is interfering in elections
and “punishing” Senators because they
opposed a mere caprice of his ; a measure,
too, which had no favor anywhere in the
country, and whose only friends—aside
from Gen. Ora it himself—are a few intim
ates of his household.

imitators, albeit the selfishness of the pur
suit does not permit them to he allies. The
western women adopt the moods and meth
ods of tneir southern sisters The middle
States Phillises follow their northern
neighbors. The type of the first is brunette,
of the second blonde. The facts simplify
the situation. These forces are now flirting
each one of their members f >r nerself and
against all the others of both classes, from
one end of the land to the other.
The brunette is more passive, yet more
intense. The blonde is more active, yet
less propetise. The brunette lures, the
blonde pulls. The brunette draws, the
blonde dazzles The brunette does much
with her eyes. The blonde does not a
little with her shoulders The brunette
fixes you wdth a look pensive and passionate
withal, the blonde imparts spontaneous and
unsolicited confidence. The brunette exacts
following the blonde exacts fellowship.
The brunette is statueque, the blonde is
mercurial. The brunette sways you to her,
the blonde sways herself to you The bru'
nette honors you by accepting your service,
the bl< nde anticipates your wants by ser
vice of her own The brunette innpire-,
the blonde incites. The brunette is stellar,
the blonde is solar. The brunette labors t<>
suggest her best self to you, the blonde
labors to suggest whatever self pleases
you beat. The brunette puts you in sym'
pathy with herself, the blonde puts herself
in sympathy with you The brunette is a
magnet, the blonde is an assimilator.
Such are their habits for purposes of
conquest. Their coquetrv assumes these
ways and develops diff» ‘nces These
are grafted on to all the onulent opp rtur.i
ties of a summer season at sea shore, rural
resort, mountain retreat, and amid similar
scenes. Their subjects utilize all the
recreations, likewise, for resources. Drives
are. decoys, walks are wiles, bathing means
business, and tete-a-tetes tell tales that
tend to trosseaus and culminate iu cradles.

appalling reflection, that of all the persons

which was to be a sure refuge for Noah
and his family, no one but himself entered
that ark. For one hundred and twenty
years they worked away upon the structure,
careless and unmindful, laughing and jest
ing. wholly legardless of righteous Noah's
solemn appeals, warning and counsel ; and
so, when the terrible ordeal came, they had
no part or entrance into the aru of refuge
which their own bands had fashiontd, bu r
were buri dbeneath tne ware s, everlasting
m u uu.eots of G ds wrath and displeasure
And is it not so now ? Are 'her** not rnanv,

The Negro V>te in Pe.nnsvltania.—
Some of the leading Radical papers of
Pennsv vania are compelled to confess that
the result of forcing negro suffrage upon
the peorle, is likely to damage instead of
benefit that party. Th * Frankhu (Pa)
Hep sitory, in commenting ou the recent
election, says:
‘The Democracy nwe to the negro vote their
triumph in this part of the State. We do
not mean by any means, that the colored
voters voted for the Democratic candidates ;
they had far too muen good sence for th*t.
But we mean that by reason of their exer«.
cising the right of suffrage, so many of
those who hitherto voted and acted with the
Repuh ican party, this time voted with the
Democraev gto enable them to elect their
ticket. There is no concealing or denying
this humiliating fact.”
This is a candid confession by a leading
Radical journal ot the injury the fifteenth
amendment has inflicted on its party. The
Philadelphia Age says ; "Fifteen thousand
negroes in Pennsylvania voted for the
Radical members of Congress, and yet the
Democratic majority on the Congressional
ticket will he between six and eight thouss
and In this city, more than five thousand
white men deserted the Radical party on
this ne grn issue, and if a fair return had
been made of the vote polled, we would
have carried the Democratic ticket bv from
fifteen hundred to two thousand votes.”—
Intelligencer.
Gen. Cox Secretary "f the Interior, has
been forced from Grant’s cabinet by the
“presi-ure” of tne politicians. The usual
correspondence between Grant and his la'e
cabinet officer is complimentary on both
sides, hut underneath it is the fact that
Gen. Cox has heen forced out of the cabinet
by political pressure made against him and
headed by Senator Candler un i Cameron.
The President having declared that liar
niony in the cabinet was necessary to the
success of the administration in the autumn
elections, forced Gen. Cox to resign on the
alleged grounds that he had refused to per
mit his subordinate officials to be assessed
for political purposes, that lie had appointed
Democrats to office, and generally his ad'
ministration was not of a tendency to give
the Republican party its needed support
These reasons were urged on the President
by Senator Chandler. It is said the new
Secretary will be from either Pennsylvania
or Ohio, and if from the latter, State Com'
missioner Delano it is very confidentially
as-erted. will be nominated. O'her changes
in the Cabinet are expected to follow soon.
It is said that Gen. Akermar intends retir*
ing on the plea ol ill-health, and Secretary
Fi-rii expects ’o carrv out his long expressed
intention of resigning before Congress
meets.
The Congressional Interference Law
—The new act of C ngress for th*> regula
tion of elections, and the promoting of the
interest **f the Republican parry, &e . &e..
provides for the appointment ot two cx ra
inspectors of election in each election dis
t ict, one a Democrat and one a Republican
The United States Circuit Court is to
appoint the list of these extra inspectors
The extra inspect >rs are to be present a’
the registration, "lection and canvassing of
votes, whenever Rrpresentatives in Congress
are to be elected.
It also provides that the Unit’d States
Marshals shall appoint, a crowd of deputies
to attend at eash poll, who shall perform
police duiies there.
We consider this an impertinent inteifer'
ence in State elections on the parr of the
Federal Government, and clearly unconsti'
tutional. It is an attempt to give to Federal
officers the authority of enforcing State
laws, and to interfere with the authority of
officials. It is one more step toward
that centralization of power at Washington
which all men who have read history know
to be had p"licy and dangerous te free gov
ernment. We trust and believe it will be
repealed with mueh more of the same sort
of legislation, whenever sounder political
ideas regain the ascendancy in this land.
It is reported that many of Ihe vessels of
the French navy arc to he flitted up with an
apparatus intended to illuminate the line
of the horizon or tfle land, at night and in
cloudy weather. The apparatua consists of
powerful Fresnel lenses, transmiting the
light produced by the combustion of tw r o
Cones of char coal, forming the poles of a
large magneto-electric machine, driven by
a donkey engine. The ray of light it is
claimed will illuminate points on the sea
coast so as to be visible at, a distance of two
miles. The same apparatus is used <>n the
French trans-at antic packets, and several,
it is reported, have been ordered by the
Russian Government. In the account of
the light, instances are cited where the
movements of hostile fleets, could have been
detected by the use of such powerful lenses,
and the ignorance of the enemy’s maneu*
vres caused an entirely different result
from that anticipated
Hand-shaking prevails to an alerming
extent, on the sidewalks just now, and
candidates f.ir the fall election are numer
ous By the wav, it is easy to interpret
the hand shaking aspirations of the office
seeker. The candidate for Congress re-ris
his hand lovingly in yours, holding his
elbow st'ff. This is the dignified shake.
The candidate for the Legislature grasps
*your hand *’yly. inserts his thumb into the
knuckle joint of your fore finger and
wiggles all over This is the expectant
shake. The candidate for «he • ffice of Sher
iff, Cor >ner. and other lucrative offices,
completely absorbs your hand for a moment,
then tickle* your palm with his initial
fingpr, following with a regular pump
handle shake and an nviration to drink.
This is the uneqaiv ca 1 shake

gun which Mr Krupp, the great foundry
man of Essen, presented to King William
after the last war agaiost the Austrians, is
now on its second visit to Paris At first
it was exhibited there at the grea Exposi
tion. To bring it to Paris on rail,complete
with its carriage, a car of the largest
dimensions had to be constructed. The
Parisians admired it ns one of the wonders
of modern it du>try. We do not rec dice' its
dimensions Dut we know that the hotrh<hell
it throws weighs I.O’X) pounds, end that
every shot fired from it costs 700 Prussian
thalers. The first the Prussia s saw what
it was: now it wiII show them wha* it can do.
That the huge thing was removed from the
harb >r at I\ eh where on one oi th* heghts
which commanded the bay, a rampart had
been built expressly for it, and that it had
been taken to Paris atari i mniense expense,
is a proof that the Prussians intend to
it. —Missouri Republican
Somebody who seems to be tolerably ex
pert wirii figures has cyphered up that our
national debt stretches ten times r und the
earth, and reaches as high as the moon.
Here is the way he figures it :
“Each greenback dollar bill is about
seven inches in length Place two tbous-.
and millions "f them in a line ; and it will
be over 250,000 miles tong! It is 25,000
miles around the earth The public debt
would, therefore make a b nd of greenback
dollars that would encircled the globe more
than ten times. It is 540,000 miles to the
moon. If this is so, our debt would make
a rope of greenback dollars long enough to
cable the moon to the earth, and have over
100,000 to spare.
Religious Raid on Skoket Societies. —A
call signed b v ab" U ta hunderd clergymen
of the State of New York—principally
Methodists. Presbyterians, Baptists and
Congregationalists—has been issued for a
convention to assemble at Syracuse on the
15th of November next, in hostility to all
secret associations. This is but a revival of
the old at ti-Masonic agitation, and is set
on foot to supply a need of the fanatical
element in the North. The anti-slavery
crusade having run its course and gone
down in blood, it is necessary that these
saintly bl"od-hounds ot Zion should have
some new field for the employment of their
Christain philanthropy -
