OOTMMSJt dsmat’s Peeltlen. The nnmlaellsa of General Grant by the Republican party as its candidate for the preaidsaey. Is evidently not to the liking of the radical wing of that political organization— or we may better say the positive men of that party. They believe in going into the political contest of next year upon the Issues which the party have advocated and are responsible for, and for which they have battled. General GhaNT has thus far expressed no political , opinions or party sympathies. And until he does promulgate his views by authority upon the questions at issue before the country, we must judge him by his official acts and declarations. He has himself stated fiat the only vote he ever gave for President was for Jamm Buchanan and we must accept this fact as evidence that his political Ideas were then In harmony with the Democratic party. And then his terms of surrender to General Lbb and the rebel army,and his subsequent report to the President upon the condition of affairs in the South, present •till further evidence of conservative principles and affiliations. There can be no doubt but Ge icral Grant has sympathized with the President in his reconstruction policy, for how else can we interpret the ‘‘aid and comfort” be bas given him throughout his contest with CongressP Could he consistently have accepted the place of Stanton, a civil office which his position in the army did not require him to 1111, if his party views or political opinions coincided with the radical majority in Congress? It may be said his support of Shkhikan Is proof that be subscribes to radical ideas,but it is more probable his course towards that fficer arose more, if not altogether, from professional sympathies and associations, from the aprit de corps which characterized the old regular *rmy officers, than any affection for radical ideas or policy. WaDB and 3TF.VBN8, and PuiLLirs, and Grbbley, and all tho prominent radicals In fact, have no confidence in Uenaral Grant’s political ideas as developed by his official action and associations, and they regard his nomination ax the presidential candidate of the Republican party as a surrender of the distinctive principles of that organization to a very doubtful expediency. We do not believethat General Grant can receive the support of the radical wing of the Republican party, unless he places himself squarely upon the record in favor of the doctrines and measures which the radical leaders have enunciated. And if he should do this, is It probable th at be will be stronger than any of the recognized representatives of the Republican party? The recent elections demonstrated most conclusively thst the people are opposed to radicalism—to the measures that the radical party are endeavoring to force and fasten upon tbe country, and they demand a change in the financial policy and such an economical administration of the government as will lighten the burdens which now weigh so heavily upon the country. And the reaction which has commenced will not cease until those ends are accomplished, no matter what personal popularity may be brought to bear to save an evidently sinking cause. We think General Grant Is a man of too much sagacity and good sense to identify his fortunes with a political party that is destined to demoralization, disintegration and decay. It Is even now a divided house, and nothing but # t ie errors of the rising party can save it from overwhelming defeat in the next presidential c impaign, even with the vote of the unreconstructed States as a capital to go upon.

Secret Societies. Wo find the following paragraph in the Princeton Clarion: The. copperheads are recruiting in all parts of the country a new and secret society, “ The Sons of Jackson,” as an effset to ihe Grand Army of the Republic. Wo do not believe that “ the copperheads” are doing anything of the kind. In fact, we know they are not. “ The copperheads” have seen enough of secret political societies to know that they always react on those they are Intended to benefit. They are not in the least apprehensive of the Grand Army. They expect to “ offset ” it by a tremendous major, ity of legal voters next fall. If, however, any of our unsophisticated friends in Gibson county are foolish enough to get up a secret society, we warn them to let it alone, and go honestly to work to preach the truth of democracy to the heathen. The time for such tomfoolery as “ The Sons of Jackson ” Is past. Talk nig-g.-r, talk bonds, talk taxes, talk Democracyhut avoid tbe mummery of secret political organizations, which never did, and never can, prove otherwise than disastrous to the party which encourages them. Do your work in the open day, oo that everybody can eee what you are doing. Domocrats are not moles that they should burrow la the earth, nor conspirators that they should meet secretly and concoct schemes of political villainy behind sentries with fixed bayonets. — ♦ - — Paylnff the Pablle Debt in Dreen-bnche-An Answer to nonsponaerr. lo the Etitor of the Herald: Of coarse * it there is going to be an issue next year on this subject,” the radical press, from this time until the campaign of ’68 Is over, will teem with long winded prophecies, all descriptive of (he dire calamities that will speedily overtake us in case that plan is adopted to pay the public debt. One of these would-be prophets (?) eomes forth In sn exhaustive howl In the Journal of the 14th instant, over tbe signatars of Montgomery. No doubt he has clasped both hands on his pocket book at Gw mere thought, and will await in trembling expectation a decision which, as he has reason to fear (if tho iste elections are taken as an index,) will bo in favor of the plan he seems to fear so much. Query—Is Montgomery a bondholder? Bo says: ” The public mind is slow to comprehend a new issue, and If the Republican party occupies the right ground, the sooner Its position is understood, the more votes It will re-

ceive.”

I just now called the gentleman a would-be prophet. I sincerely beg bis pardon; he is a prophet Indeed ;!lst ye, “the sooner its petition is understood tbe more votes it Will receive.” Hie foresight is wonderful; truly tho radical party is in a shaky condltlou, in sore need of all the votes it can get by hook or by crook; and this prediction of Its faturo downfall should not be passed without giving due credit t> tbe writer. Why will the radicals continue to vent their spleen on tho Democratic party by cilllng them names? It Is extremely disagreeable now—if you could, dear radicals, break tbe habit, we would all feel so thankful. Montgomery even, la not free from the habit; he actually calls us copperheads In tbe first paragraph—no ’tls the second. Hers: “There is no reason to doubt, that in tho Waatovn States at lOMt, the copperhead party will go for payirg our public debt in greenback!.” We think that Montgomery Is right, and the h»te news from the East, combined with tbe election ret jrns of a month since, colls hie pen into action to save his bonds from being repu-

diated!

Congress made greenbacks a legal tender In paymentof all debts, public and private, except duties on imports and the interest on tbe public debt, and receivable in poymentof all loans made to tbe United States. Mow, there Is tbe law, and tbe Supreme Court bee dedd0# that it Is eonstttntlonsl. Of this net of Congress (radical) the “prophet” anys: “ * * many bitterly complained. They sold and justly, too,” (this from n radical) “that It woe compelling ereditaa to accept n mere dngrsdated promise to pay In lieu of debts.” A mtie farther down he says: “Tho copperhead party originally denounced tho low staking treasury notes n legal tender,” or In other words they complained. What eontrodfetlone! First ho says that tho complaint agsta-rf tho law wae jast, and then fee tries to make onpital out ef those wfeo complained; Hew miserably bard up ho mast boro boon forUMlHMMftlit nbost mixing up in that ip»r» ■f'ftf%hletM o> with an lUnatemlon <aow$> “If Ahndborrowod oas ftnadmd doHnso m goM tMdiM.

All bondholder* know, or ought to if they don’t, that the Government reserved the tight to pay the public debt In greenbacks, agreeing to pay the Interest on that debt in coin. Wo would miggeot to “Montgomery” If he doubt* the truth of the above statement, ho eon sell some of his bonds for legal tenders, and become posted by reading that which he will find printed on tho boCk of them. After having exhausted bis dictionary of Invective* against the propositions, he eays he will lay aside for the present all questions as to the fraudulent character of the measure, and Inquires what will be the effset on the Interest of the people? He says: “The very moment you begin to issue greenbacks you give the prices of all kinds of goods on upward tendency.” This is followed by a chapter of Incidents, the prominent fsntnre of Which Is Immoderate calculations ;for instance, he says when enough greenbacks art Issued to pay th* first installment of our National debttbe price of floor will go up to g40 per barrel, and other things in proportion. If that should be the case when the 5-20 bonds are paid, where would we be when the 7:30’s and 10-40’s faHdue? But is there any necessity to issue greenbacks? We think net. Someone bos ■ JggesUd a loan In legal tenders to the amount that la to be redeemed; thia ie eminently the proper plan. Even if they were Issued, it could not have the effect that Montgomery predicts. We should like to know upon vshat basis be does his figuring. Hewever either of these plans (issuing or borrowrowing,) would be highly preferable to paying bondholders two or three times the amount they are justly ea titled to, and there are no mechanics “hardfisted,” or any other kind except tho hardheaded, going to try to see into a millstone In that way. He must be ignorant indeed who can not see that a million in in the treasury, W nv*b rorty per cent, on the dollar, la not ef more value to the Government than a million of greenbacks, on which they pay ten or even fifteen per cent, interest. Thad. Stevens, who was one of the congressional cjmmlttee to consider the best mode of supplying the Government with money to carry on tbe war, says that in creating loans there was no intention on the part of Congress to commit the Government to tbe payment of the principal In coin, except where it was expressly mentioned. This matter was well understood at the time, and yet some bondholders come now on tbe eve of the payment of a portion of the bonds, and poh! pob! at tbe idea of a “any government attempting to pay its public debt with Its own mere promises to pay!” Ab-urd, isn’t It? “Legal Tender.” Tbe Nigger. —Five thousand dollars have been donated to the Colored Orphan Asylum of New York city by Chancey Rose, of Terre Haute. —Two justices of the peace in Prince George county, Virginia, have just been arrested by tbe United States Commissioner, for violating the civil rights bill, in refusing to take the affidavit of a negro, concerning an assault made upon him. —A colored woman in Savannah recently gave birth to three infants, two of whom were black and the other white.

He was to have been married in a few days to • very attractive young lady, but it came out that he had a wife and two children already in Illinoie, and he fled to escape the indignation of the citizens. —Tom Sorrell and Tom Bowie, two colored bruisers, recently went out to have a little prize fight near Washington. Bowie ran away the night previous to the fight, giving as a reason therefor that bis friends had advised him to do so, as be had not been properly trained, that vitriol had been applied to his bands to damage them, and that they intended to beat him foully if they could not do It fairly.

ThtowiU not embrace the side anna of the ed to return to hie home, not to be disturbed by the United States authority, so long aa they observe their paroles and the laws in force where they reside.” This was General Grant’s reconstruction act, and he at once proceeded to give it effect by feeding the rebel army and giving every facility to the rebel soldiers to return to their homes. If tbe wisdom and epirit which influenced General Grant in paroling the army of Lee had governed tha radical leaden, the rebel States would have been promptly restored to their places in the Union, and long ere this most of tbe traces and effects of the terrible strife would have been effaced in tbe prosperity and harmony which such a policy would have vouchsafed to the country.

Who goes with the party that is for making the neb richer and the poor poorer?—JTew York Heraldr —The statement of tbe radical prase that Grant’s testimony before the Judiciary Committee fixes his political status, is without foundation. This testimony had no political bearing, as be was called to testify to facts within his knowledge; and among these he testified that Johnson’s proclamation looking to the reconstruction of the South was Identical with the one prepared by Lincoln, and read to General Grant a few days before the assassination. —The New York Times, in alluding to the reticence of Generai Grant, says that “when the proper time shall come Generai Grant will undoubtedly give the country s clear and satisfactory statement of his views on public affairs; but meantime we presume he will maintain the obstinate silence which seems so displeasing to his enemies, and to no body else.” Suite Items. —The Evantvllle Journal publishes dally bulletins, Informing the public of the health of a dog recently stabbed by burglars.

Mull, who lives near the Petersburg road, eome eight miles from the city, was struck by lightning. Tbe electric fluid, usually called a thunderbolt, entered tbe gable end of the building, and, as It appears, passed down between the weather boarding aud plastering, tearing off a portion of the weather boarding, irom fear to six feet wide, from tbe roof almost to tbe ground, sad at points shattering tbe plastering inside. Tbe roof was rent from ooeend to the other at the comb of the building, letting one side sink down to some extant, while the ends of the rafters where they met were charred and splintered like locifor matches that had been Ignited.

reiment Mejeiclng in Hnswe. Special Correspondence Indianapolia Herald. Portland, November 10,1867. I sea now why Sheridan's reception was lo tome re affair. Hie triumphal tour wan considered n Republican move in cnee Grant ihoufd fall them, red this city to largely Democratic. Thia fact I fully realized when I entw<*l thnhoJI to-night, when the jubilee ef victory was held. There were assembled many of the oldest and most substantial citikens, a vast crowd of floating population and a goodly number of ladies. Would you believe if, tome of the Utter, had their crochet and tatting work la their hands. Next to the finished appearance of things, nothing strikes me so forcibly as the unceasing thrift ef this people. They have time by the foreioek ail the time. The male portion do not seem as indefatigable as the female, but the way they improve the shining hours—tatting on the cars, in the depot, on the promenade, in the lecture room, at concerts—is enough to make a Western person feel that she is of no account in the world. This taking a stitch at a political meeting, is only second to the industry of the widow, who thought she might as well knit s roxnd until the funeral began. Is tt any wonder then, that with their heads filled with business, and their hands with work, this assembly was a solemn effort at erthusiasm? I enjoyed it, but it was not much like one of our Western jollifications where tho streets arc ablaze with bonfires, and there sre a half dozen out door stands where Voorhees and Ryan, or Morton and others, as the case may be, hold forth to delighted crowds, that toss up their hats, screaming, groaning and shouting applause that rises above the roaring of cannon, anvil blasts, aud tfe music of fife and drum. I can imagine no greater horror than these we'I rrgulatcd families Would feel at the part young bays take on such occasions. Yelling ana carrying torchlights, and, up until midnight, they are politicians before they are in their teens. Th# day has been very unfavorable, but ths new City Hall was crowded before seven o’clock this evening. Upon the arrival of tte Constitutional Union Club, the meeting was called to order by Captain E. S. Morns, who presented a long list of officers, which was at once adopted. Hon. Bion Bradbury, president, and some fifty names for vice presidents, among which I heard that of several officers and distinguished citizens. Mr. Brewster, of Boston, was expected to address the meeting, but was obliged to decline on account of exhaustion from the labor of the canvass, and his telegram to that effect was read. This was followed by a speech from Mr. Bradbury, who began by congratulating bis fellow citizens upon the auspicious circumstances of tbe occsslon, in a metaphorical allusion to the tide of radicalism, that was, tbe allusion, I mean, somewhat high flown, but very natural to a man living In view of the sea. He did not consider it a Democratic victory exclusively. It was the triumph of constitutional liberty, and a protest against negro equality. He hoped, however, that the party would Improve the hour of grace, and avoid the division of Interest that had brought disaster to the Republican power. He was a forcible and pleasant speaker, and the beet idea I can give you of his style is by appending a sentence or two, as well as I can remember it: “ The duty of the hour is harmonizing, consolidating and cementing the conservative elements of the country into one party of vigilant, effective and active werklngmen. Thost who think alike milst act in concert." Concluding with the assurance that “a complete triumph of conservative constitutional principles could not be long delayed.” The next speaker was the Hon. L. D. M. Sweat, defeated candidate for Congress, who began with the common remark that he hod not come to the meeting to make a speech. He was a noble specimen of a man to look upon, and he managed to make a very stirring and racy speech. He laid violent hands on Republican principles, and gathering up Wade and Sumner, Parson Brownlow, Hannibal Hamlin and LotM. Morrill, the last two his especial aversion, he placed them in a line just far enough off to deal them sledge hammer blows, without mercy or stint. In this undertaking he was encouraged by the wildest applause. It had nearly all the excitement ef a pitched battle. He was agreed to a fair division of office, provided the men who ■hared honors were good, honest and conservative, red thoroughly imbued with the spirit of ’76. He would delight to honor ary/ and all who hod conscientiously done their duty In the war; but he would never consent to negro rule or negro equality—and here he was so interrupted by cheers that I lost the dosing remark, and only heard him introduce to the assembly the Hen. E. F. Pillsbury, of Augusta, another defeated candidate for office, a twice defeated aspirant for gubernatorial honors, and therefore deserving of twofold consideration. One can uot blame tbe long unfed for rejoicing & little at the prospect of Government rations. Mr Pillsbury came forward with a dignified grace, and was greeted with hearty applause. He began his remarks with a simple bow. Thanking them for their kind reception, and felicitating himself upon being able to rejoice with them in that beautiful hall, upon the dawn of a brighter day, calling attention at once to the noble, high-toned and honorable mao, who nad come over to tbe conservative evuse. Lika all converts, they were deserving of special notice, and I suppose will in tbe division of spoils, be entitled to the lion's share. Honest change of sentiment is to be admired, but the party-wise too often crowd out tbe faithful and deserving. This little opinion aside, Mr. Pillsbury, the twice-de-feated candidate for Governer, said that he bad often beard men boast that they had voted with this or that party all their political lives. For his part, he did not believe in the infallibility of party, but that he had €he highest respect for a man who fearlessly and boldly Stands up for the right. Irrespective of partyHe believed the masses of the people had the good of our country at heart, and all they needed was to have the right road pointed out; they would follow ae one man. He then entered into a learned exposition of the tax question, which, being a lady, I am sot supposed to know anything about. I might if I could, make a study of it, but when a man begins to compound the interest of seventy-five cents a day at tbe ratio of from Boston to Sitka, and •311,000,006 as internal revenae, to the “hat on year head, the clothing on your body and the shore an your feet,” with a little bunch of matches, the freedmen’s bureau, and tbe whole expenses of Mr. Buchanan’s administration thrown In, it la more than I can comprehendThe beet way is to take it all for granted either way, for I am sure in reading Governor Morton’* expose of debt, it eeemed equally clear. I listened to the final assertion that ti>t« u a reign of robbery, red the people have risen In thstr might to throw it off, imploring them earnestly to listen to no promises of retrenebHMnt sod reform, but to unite end rally to the support of the great principles of conservative Democracy. General Andrew’s name was then called, bat answering not again, tbe msetiag was adjourned with three cheers for the rising cause. Monday night General Chamberlain, of Augusta, tbs gallant warrior red friend of Sheridan, will lecture, and I dull hear the otiur tide of the I hoar now tiie fine maslc of the band sere, nading Mr. PUtebury, at the United States Heart.

By advice of the council, and in compliance with a venerated usage, I appoint Thursday, tbe fifth day of April next for humiliation, fasting and prayer. I recommend to each citizen to observe the day as a Christian; if he be under the influence of any vice, to banish it; if in error, to correct it; if under obligations to others, honestly to discharge them; if suffering injuries, to forgive them; if aware of animosities, to extinguish them; and if able, to do any benevolent act to any being, created by the Almighty Power to which he owes his existence and his faculties, to do it.

These diseases are the bane of contention in married life, and the frequent cause of natri monial infelicity and infidelity.
