Radical Conspirators Unearthed. Last Friday another interesting disclosure of the “foul misdeeds” of the impeachers was unearthed at Washington. The Radical inquisitors to investigate the charges made against the Senate, relative to the acquittal of President John- ■ son through bribery, refused to allow a Democrat to be placed upon the Committee, which simply in- 1 eluded Hon. Managers. But “murder will out.” A Miss Vinnie Ream, an accomplished sculptress, was supposed to have some influence with Senator Ross. Mr, Julian, of Indiana, went to her rooms in the Capitol building and accused her of influencing the Senator against voting for conviction, which she denied in the most emphatic manner. The Hon. Julian( !) then demanded that she should influence that Senator's vote for conviction, or she would be ruined | on refusal. This she refused to do. Finally the threat was made good, by throwing her statuary into the street, breaking a valuable piece, when the whole story reached Gen. Morgan, who accused Mr. Julian in debate in the House.— Julian was unable to reply, and j the scene can better be imagined ■ than described. - The Managers in conducting their inquiry, have fouled their own nest, and have revealed the 1 fact that they were the parties ! that offered bribes and made ] threats to secure the conviction of I the President, and chagrined at their failure supposed that an ez parte investigation would reveal a counter conspiracy to prevent conviction. Their own investigation proves as we have frequently charged, that they were the conspirators, and of the most malignant type. Mr. Edmunds, in the Senate, offered a resolution of thanks to Secretary Stanton. Mr. Henderson moved to amend by including the name of Chief Justice Chase, which was rejected by 11 to 30.— The origional resolution then passed by 37 to 11. Chase seems to be in bad odor among the Radicals. They should pass a law that the Judge of the Supreme Court hold their office during good behavior, and declare that good behavior means an Tong as they bow the knee to the crack of the party whip. Thia would be consistent with their record upon other questiona. rr-A half a million of Gran nys are wanted to nurse the sick Radicals; to nurse those who are sick over the nomination of Grant and Colfax, who, if elected, will represent the non taxpaying interest of the country—the 'bondholders- Pay sure, being guaranteed by the white wards of the nation—hank*r» and bondholder*

The Radicals Committed to the Bondholders. The Radicals of Indiana, at their State Convention adopted a resolution substantially enbodying the Pendleton greenback theory. This theory is now being advocated with great unanmity by the Democratic party in Conventions, by their orators upon the stump find by the press, until it has become one of the leading ideas of the partv. The Radicals of this State acknowledged its correctness, but it failed in receiving an edorsement at Chicago. This is the more significant when it is taken in connection with the following resolution, introduced in the House of Representatives, by the Hon. Sam Cary, of Ohio: “Whereas, The national honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness to creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit, of the law under which it was contracted therefore, be it Resolved, That neither the letter nor spirit of the law under which the 5 20s were issued, requires the payment of the principal in coin, and it will be in the utmost good faith if the holders thereof be paid in the same money which has been paid to the soldiers who fought the battles of the war, and with which the Government settles the claims of the widows and orphans of our fallen heroes; the same that laborers arc required to receive as wages, and which is a legal tender for all public and private debts, except customs, duties, and interest on the public debt.” The Cincinnati Gazette's Washington correspondent, indulges in the following remarks in regard to the resolution : “The repudiation question got into the House this morning, and made a slight excitement for half an hour. Mr. Cary’s resolution bringing it forward had a very fair appearance in the preamble, as it quoted that clause of the Chicago platform which declares that the 5 20 bonds, and all other Government indebtedness, must be met, not only according to the letter of the law, bufealso accord ing to its spirit, but he soon showed that in his view the resolution meant greenbacks. The Democrats, with one or two exceptions, put themselves on record in favor of the greeback/theory, while all the Republicans, except Ingersoll, of Illinois, and Cobb, of Wisconsin, took the oposite view, and in 1 favor of gold payment. The resolution finally went to the Ways and Means Committee.” The action of the Radicals at Ciiicago, and the vote of the Radicals in Congress show where they stand upon the greenback question. The vote in the House places them square on the record in favor of “gold for the bond holder and rags for the people.”— This vote upon Mr. Cary's resolution is also high authority in regard to the construction the Radicals themselves place upon the Chicago resolution.

The Radical candidate for reelection in this District, J. P. C. Shanks, by his vote upon this resolution stands committed on the record, as against the resolution of the Radicals at the State Con vention, and in favor of the Chicago resolution. This is one of the important issues, and we are glad the Radicals are committed 4o the record upon it, beyond recall ; for it is important that the people understand what would be the financially policy of the two opposing parties. The Democrats have marked out the course they will pursue in the event of success and have made it so plain that none but the willful blind are unable to see. The Radicals by this vpte saved much needless explanation. They are for the bondholder withi out any saving clause*; which means that the rich will bear no I burden that they can heap upon the poor, and the Radical party will legalize this principle by appropriate legislation. X^*W endell Phillips says “when we think ot this Pacha of Assassins again let loose of Andersonville reopened ;” • Who does he mean ? It must be Stanton, who has long been confined in the War Department, and who disapproved ex changing skeletons for rebel prisoners. Wonder if Shanks will examine this question. v /■jrCharles Ockford, of Detroit, |is creating quite a sensation by j proposing to attempt the passage !

Dcatb of’ Ex-President Buchanan. James Buchanan died at Wheatland, Pennsylvania, on Monday, and was 77 years of age in April. He graduated at Dickenson College in 1809, and was a lawyer by profession. In 1814 he was in the Pennsylvania house of representatives, and during the war with England served as a private soldier. In 1820 he was sent to Congress. — At his firgt term, speaking in favor of a revenue tariff, he said: “I am a politician neither of the ‘east nor of the west, of the north ‘nor of the south. I shall, there‘fore, forever avoid any expressions the tendency of which must ‘be to create sectional jealousies, ‘sectional divisions, and, at length, ‘disunion, —that worst and last of ‘all political calamities.” In 1824 he took a prominent position in Mexican politics and the position of Cuba, affirming that this country should not ally' itself with the former or allow the latter Ci to become the property of any other power than Spain, except the United States. In 1828 he favored the re-election of General Jackson, and was engaged as one of the prosecuting counsel in the, impeachment of J. H. Peek, of the U. S. District Court for Missouri. In 1832 he was sent to Russia, and negotiated the first treaty with that country. In 1833 here turned home and was elected to the Senate, and in '35 and ’36 stood by Jackson during the U. S. bank excitement. During Van Buren's administration he defended the establishment of an independent treasury system against Clay and Webster. During Harrison's administration he favored the annexation of Texas and opposed the Webster-Ashburton treaty.— Under Polk he was promoted from '.Chairman of the Committee on foreign relations to that of Secretary of State. He was our Minister to England under President Pierce, and on his return was elected President. During the slavery excitement that occurred during his terin he steadily opposed sectional ’differences. That he is now dead, when the possions of men have had time to cool, will be the proper time for history to record its verdict, especially with regard to those events with which he was so intimately connected, immediately preceeding the late rebellion.

Schenck’s Tax Bill. Mr. Shenck from the Committee of Ways and Means, has introduced a new tax bill into the House. In explaining it be said the Committee are willing to reduce the tax on whiskey to 75 cents per gallon, He also made the following estimate for the next fiscal year.— Receipts: customs, §165.000.000; internal revenue. §210.560,000: public land, 81,000,000; miscellaneous. 830,000,000; total 840G,560,000. This estimate is based upon the supposition that the receipt from whiskey and tobacco by the reduction of the tax will be increased. But, supposing there is no increase, the above estimate would.be reduced to, 8360,560, 000. The Committee estimate the expenditures for, the year at 8332,320,629, which would leave a surplus of, 828,239,371. Carrying out Mr. Shenck’s proposition a little farther, and add the deficiency of the previous year to the Committee's report, and instead of a surplus, we will have a considerable deficiency to be ac counted for. Our Radical friends like to make a good showing in the face of important ejections. The Lexington, Virgina, Gazette says the recent unfortunate shooting of young Brockenbrough by a negro in that town, is generally and justly regarded as the le gitiinate fruit of the incendiary address made to the negroes by Gen, Frazier, on Saturday before last, in which, after making statements prejudicial to the white people, which were totally unfounded in fact, he spoke of the negroes having to sit in the gallery of the . Court House, instead of going on the Judge’s bench and of theil having to give way to white people on the sidewalks and in the stores, as indignities to which they were not bound to submit A. H. Lee, Esq, Randolph Co., U'inois, the nun who drew the Crosby Opera House, returns an income for 1867 of 8212,831 80, on which he pava an income tax |

Workingmen Robbed! It Jjosts twenty-one million and five hundred thousand dollars to feed the negroes of the South, and half as much more to clothe them, while they luxuriate in indolence, idleness and crime. And all this money is filched from the pockets, taken from the hard earnings of the workingmen of the country. Oh, how these radical plunderers do love the workingmen ? They delight to see the poor workingmen work, and toil, and struggle—for the nigger! They glory in begging and securing the votes of the workingmen, because it enables radical politicians tp tax, and rob and plunder the pockets of the sons of toil —for the nigger! Six hundred thousand white men—workingmen—thrown out of employment, under radical rule, and in consequence of radical policy—but no government aid for them ! They had the misfortune to be born white. They had white wives and children to support —no aid for them!—no legislation of the radicals in Congress for them J —but all, all for the nigger! White men !—freemen !—how much longer will you permit the radical thieves and plunderers to make white freemen mere hewers of wood and drawers of water—for the barbarian nigger? The Democracy will lift from your shoulders the intolerable burdens the radicals have forced upon you to maintain the nigger. The Democracy will reduce your taxes —secure for you every dollar that you earn for your dear ones at home—and will leave the nigger to earn his bread by his industry and toil, or go, without. — Cleveland Plaindealer. A Republican Form of Government. It has general!}’ been considered that those who sway the destinies of a country should have some stake in that country. Let us see how it is, in this view, with the bogus States officers of reconstructed South Carolina. Annexed is the ■ list, with the taxes paid by each: Governor —B. K. Scott, Ohio, DO Lieut. Governor—L. Boozer. S. 15 99 Secretary of State—F. L. Cardoza, negro, 00 CO Comptroller General —J. C. Neagle, N. C., „ 00 00 Treasurer—F. G. Parker, Massachusetts, 00 00 Attorney General —D. H. Chamberlain, Ma- sachusetts, 00 00 Superintendent of Education —J. K. Jillson, Massachusetts, 00 00 Adjutant and Inspector General — J. F. Moses, Jr., S. C., 1 00 Total, Sl6 99 Under the reconstructed constitution of South Carolina the annual taxes will be 82.115,212 — against 835Q,000 in unreconstructed times—and of this the above 819 99 are representeg by the attenuated decimal .OOO(X)8O3>!, so that, if it may please the arithmetical reader to kuow, the eight highest officers of the reconstructed State of South Carolina pay to support of the Government over whiEh they preside an average tax of one hundred thousandth part of a mill per anum.— New York World. Proposal to Make the National Debt $100,000,000,000. Senator Sherman has introduced | a bill to fund the whole debt by issuing bonds at fiye per cent interest, the bonds to be redeemed in thiry or forty years. The debt is 82,600,000,000. Five per cent, a year on that is one hundred and thirtvmillions, and for thiry years would be 82,900,000.000. Add the principal to the interest and you have the enormous sum of sixty-five hundred million dollars, which he proposes to levy on this , and the next generation, as the 1 legacy of the radical party; for trusting that party with political power for seven years. But that is not all. If paid in gold, as he proposes*'it would add thirty five per cent, to the vast sum, making onehundred thousand million dollars. or four times as much as the debts of all the nations of Europe. The Fruit. The dav after the nomination of General Grant a radical con ven tion was held in the First Ward of Washington Citv, to nominate a candidate for Aidermen of the city. John F. Cook, an American citizen of African descent, as black as charcoal, with thick lipa, long heels, flat nose and kinky head, was the fortunate individual. Cook returned his thanks in a speech, in which he said that “all the colored pussons. without re gard to color or sex, would unan imously vote for Grant and Col- i fax.” We may expect to see a liberal supply of negro candidates this fall. This is the fruit which, we are told must be gathered, or the war has been fought in vain. There is a duel on the carpet in Paris. A well known queen of the demi-monde has ruined a Russian Prince and an English nobleman. The cansc of their ruin has just become a mother, and when the infant was brought to the Mayor’s office to be registered, the “lord” and the “bayard ' met face to face, and demanded the child to be registered in his name. Hence a quarrel and a prospective tight
