I» fact we may »*y that tbe will of the radical leaden haa iwcn aupremo in tbe Icglalatlon of tbe country end In tbedlrertton of the policy Of th« governnient.

Whole responsible for this disorganization of trade and disturbance of public confidence? Can It bo a powerless party, a party in a hopeless minority In the National Legislature and in nearly every State, since 1801 ? A party that baa bad overwhelming sway In both national and State affairs can not shirk tboreeponelblllty of Its own acts and charge them upon tbe minority. If trade Is disorganized and public confidence Is shaken, It must be owing to the Incompetency of those who have bad tbe direction of public affairs. Those wbo have made tbe laws am! administered them, and directed tbe policy of the government, can not avoid tbe responsibility of the consequences which have followed thorn. Tbe common sense of the people oao not be deceived in tbet regard. A party that for elx years has bad full awing In tbo administration of the government, oan not attribute tbo results of Ito maladministration, its failures, Its utter bankruptcy, so fir as Its capacity to administer tbe government is concerned, upon a minority that has had no political power whatever and has yielded gracefully to thoKo In authority. Even the Journal is constrained to express its want of confidence In tho MilmlnUtratlve ability of Its own party. ( ongroea was In session In July. It hftd a full knowledge of tho financial condition of tbe country. If It hud boon so disposed it could )iavo directed a change in tbo flnanolal policy of tho Government. It did not, benoe we must infer that the com so of tbo Mecretary of the Treasury bad the approval of tbe radical maj >rity In that body. In Us issue of yesterday

the Journal says:

*' *Ve propose that the Government shall appl y all its surplus of greenbacks to tbe redemption of tho public debt, by giving our oredltoraihe option of accepting them for their bonds. More than |3'>n,000,000 could be redeemed now in that way, If the Secretary of tbe .Treaaury would, or could, make the offer.” That tbo Secretary does not or can not make that offer Is owing to the Incapacity or unwillingness of the law making power of tbe Government. If Congress bsd directed that oil! ier to pursue the policy suggested by tbe .Imirnsl, It would have been done, aud its neglect to do to places tbe responsibility upon that body. Is not tbe radical party responsible for tho present blgb tariff and a national banking system which is a charge upon the national treasury of twenty millions of dollars annually * Compare tbe rents, the cost of living and taxation now with wbat they were In 1801, and can not tbe vaet increase be charged upon the party that baa bad tbe unlimited direction of public affairs for tbe past six years? These ruinous effects must have a cause, and that came Is tbe inoapaclty of tbe Republican party to wisely and successfully administer the government, and it can not he denied that It has had every opportunity to exhibit Its administrative capacity. Tbe remedy, then, for the present deplorable condition of affairs Is a change In tbe administration of the government — the' return of the party to power under whose rule tbe government was economically snd successfully administered, every Intoreet prospered and tbe country progressed In wealth and power to a remarkable degree.

Toe Chicago Times In referring to tbe immense frauds upon tbe revenues Inquires: Who is responsible for all tbis prodigious complication of fraud, perjury, and downright robbery ? Tho tax payer Is robbed outright; tbe burdens ol taxation aro Increased; tbe difficulty of dealing with tbe financial problems of the country le vaetly heightened; tbe days of onerous taxation are prolonged, and tbe ulllmate liquidation of tbe national debt postponed; officials art everywhere violating their oatbs, and sharing in tbe plunder wrung from tbe people by tbe raecaliy distillers—all these thing* are occurring, and they arc tbe direct roeult of tbe misrule, eorru ptlon, and general demoralization which have been inflicted upon tbe country by tbe aecceslon to power of radicalism. Every one of tbeee revenue agent# and inapeotor s wbo, like Cullicott. Is engaged In downright robbery, la tbe offspring of radicalism. Lot tbe reeponelbillty root where it belongs.

says:

"The Republican convention gave this matter (Butlers new scheme) tbe go by. It Is not named In tbe platform, and it to aald to bava been squelched by tbe committee on resolutions. This convention took no affirmative position In regard to the prohibitory or lleenae question, but granted a sort of plenary indulgence to ita mem bars to vote as they choose— one way or tbe otber. without Injuriously affecting tbelr standing In tbe party. Tbe result is that tbe election of member* of tbe Legislature will, in every district In tbo State, turn upon tbeao questions.

It was tbe largest and most entbustastlo meeting ever held In this city by any party. The procession was magnificent, with from one borse to tblrty-two in a team, bands In profusion, and hickory boughs like a forest. The number I do not estimate. There were thousands enough—as many as tbe voice could reach, tn a solid mass. Voorbees addressed tbe meeting for over two hours, and rack n speech. It waa magnificent, aud should have been reported by the Enquirer. It was argumentative and eloquent, beyond description.

There will probably be two or tbveo from the other States now under military rule. Tbis is really a happy reflection. Tbe negroes, wbo only a few years ago were so debaeed by slavery, if we can believe radloal Journals, taken from tba plantations and placed In Congress! Radicalism to a ” progressive ” institution really. —One of tbe South Carolina registrars says that when tbo negroes come to “receive tbe election franchise” they generally bring along bags or baskets to put it In. Several, after registration, being asked what they had done, said that “do gembltn wtd de big whisker make me swar to deport (support > de law* of United Sauf Cartlna.” —The Chicago Times says our Methodist brethren are Inaugurating a war against aecret societies. We hope they Intend to Include "loyal” league*, "G. A. R.’s,” Good Templars, and other radical eeoret organizations. If they do Include these societies in their war, they will, if they break them up, do a large amount of good. Afraid of thk Pxopl*.—Every act of tbe party of Congress is a confeasion of tbelr distrust of tbe people. They seek, by every ingenious device, to overreach tbe people; to bind them band and foot. Thus in New York State they dare not submit tbeir new constitution to a full vote of tbe people. Yet tbe convention waa authorized and established under a law of tbe legislature to present an amended constitution to the people in tbe coming November election, and at no otber time.

Here, lnanutsbell r Is tbe radical programme for ruling tbe country. Military government in the South, to dlsfrancbtee and trample down tbe white men and direct the negro vote; tbon, negro and military elected congressmen to control tbe representatives elected by tbe votes of white men in tbe rest of tbe country.

Mr. Colfisx would have the country believe that they use words without a thorough comprehension of tbeir meaning. He would conceal the tact that there to sot a word er phrase In that Instrument that was not carefully conned over and debated. It waa perfectly that most of (be words used in the meaning in which they are fixed by tbe time-honored decisions of English courts, which leave no doubt as to tbelr proper aigntficatioo. At the time of tbe adoption ot tbe Constitution, men Were disfranchised wbo held no property, aad otberv were disfranchised because of tbelr color; bat it never entered Into tbe beads of tbe founders of the Government that universal suffrage was necessary to tbe idea of a republican form of government.

James B. Hoyt, of Troy, New York, a young man of reepeetaoie-standing, was Indicted for tbe seduction of a Hiss Law under promise cf marriage, Md having refused tbe only atonement—marriage—for tbe injury he hod done her, bae been on trial since Monday upon tbe criminal charge. One at the points relied upon by tbe prisoner to secure an acquittal waa a belief ia bin ability to prove the previous unchaste character of the glri. For tbto purpose be Introduced a witness named Alfred Haight, who testified to criminal act, but when, however. be came to be sabjected to cross-exam-ination,be so contradicted himself as to satisfy all present that he wan toiling n wicked aud deliberata falsehood. He left tbe witness stand, and proceeded to tbe vestibule of tbe court bouse, where be beard expressions on all aides that he baa perjured himself, and 01 her remarks not very complimentary to bis character. Soon after be expressed a desire to make a full snd free retraction of all be bad said in regard to the young tody upon the wit-

ness at* ml.

The aewsof Haight’s con feat ion was received with perfect astonishment by the counsel

for Hoyt, wheat once determined

from the case aad leave the

I to withdraw

_ prisoner to his fata. They visited him in jail Md Informed him of the sudden turn affaire had taken, and of their inability to do anything more In hto case. Tbe young man waa somewhat dumbfounded at first, but soon regained sufficient composure to propose aa offer of marriage. Tbe counsel encouraged the suggestion as tbe only means of escape left to him from the State prison, and wbea the court reassembled in tbe afternoon—after Height bad publicly withdrawn his evldenre—made the offer to the district attorney aad Mr. Beach. They were not entirely pleased with the proposition, but submitted ft to tbe yeung lady. She consulted with her friends—they opposed tbe marriage, two sisters, very estimable Md worthy young ladles, wbo bad nobly sto >d by tbe unfortunate girl through all tbe solemn hours of tbe trial, beseeched bar with tears in tbelr eyes not to marry tbe prisoner under circumstances such as bad been developed on the trial, but tbe poor wronged and Innocent girl—with a mother’s tender love for her misery, and a heart not yet dead to tbe unworthy cause of all her misery—gsve such reasons for the step as silenced counsel, friends, relatives and all. In tbeir opposition to tbe union,and consented to the marriage. Meanwhile, while these whisperings and negotiations, conducted with sobs and tears, were going on, tbe vast audience m the court room remained silent and interested spectators of the scene. Scarcely a person in tbe crowded assembly at first approved tbe union; but when it was at last known that the young girt had consented to rescue the object of her heart’s youthful affections from a prison, all suddenly reversed thrir judgment—love won the victory over reasonend hearty applause greeted the appearance of Rev. Dr. Baldwin, who had been sent for to

perform the ceremony.

The young naan, a prisoner but a moment before, walked over to hie bride, Md a few words passed between them; tbo reverend doctor took bis position on the right of Judge Robertson, and the young couple presentrd themselves at the alter. The Judge was tbe first to break tba stillness of the solemn acme. He remarked that the conclusion of the trial could not but be regarded aa fortunate for all partiea concerned. It would seem from tbe evidence in the case, that tbe defendant had been misled by Uw falsehood ef certain parties, and bad mistrusted the integrity md fidelity of the young lady.
