THE VERMONT ELECTION.
The Radical papers are raving over the Ver
mont election, in which they pretend to 3e
symptoms of an ebb in the Democratic tide.
This is either the madness of the moon, the
drivel ng of idiocy or the frenzy of despair.
At all events it is in the highest degree absurd.
The Democrats of course did not expect to
carry Vermont. They did not even expect a
decrease in the Republican majority of last
year; but they did expect to make a relative
gain on the actual vote cast, and this they
have accomplished. The frst announcements
that the State had gone Republican by 30,000
majority, were made without reference to the
returns, and with a view to revive the fail
ing spirits of the Radicals throughout the
country. It was supposed that the falsehood
would have the desired effect in spite of any
subsequent denials ; and so the Tribune goes
through its usual salutatory gyrations, and
all the lesser Republican oracles and orators
break into a chorus of simulated enthusiasm.
Are cannon, throw up rockets and shout
themselves hoarse with excess of necessary
joy over this glorious victory. But it turns
out that there is no such great victory after
all. What is unquestionably true is that the
Republicans have carried the State, and by
a larger majority than last year. But it is
equally true that the Republican majority
now is about 5000 less than it was in 1804-less
indeed than it has been at several previous
elections-less than at any election for a num
ber of years, in which both parties exertMd
their full strength. What may be called the
normal majority in Vermont is about 30,000.
eemocratic"gndn do i ii'6s'. " Ir, IF;
pare with last year we find, as the last state
ment informs us, that the Republican vote has
increased 22 per cent., whilst the Democratic
vote has increased 33 per cent. Comparing
with 1864 there is a relative Democratic gain
of 5000. Now the total vote of Vermont is
about 55,000, so that the Democrats have
really gained nearly 10 per cent. in the last four
years. A similar rate of gain would give
Pennsylvania to Seymour by more than 40,000
majority, Ohio by more than 10,000, and New
Hampshire by about 6000. It is just about
the rate of gain that carried New York for the
Democracy last year by nearly 50,000 ma
jority. Such is this remarkable Republican
victory in Vermont. The Democrats wish
that the Badicals may win many more just
like it
The Chieago Tribune recommends paying
the publie debt by a total abstinence on the
part of the people from liquor and oigars. A
total abstinence from Radical plundering and
thievery would be much more efficacious; but
that cannot be asured until the Radical party
is expelled from power.
Conway, the so-called governor of the recon
stiucted State of Arkansas, instructs his
registrars to let no man vote that does not do
certain things required by the carpet-bag and
soalawag oonvention, and then not to let him
register if he does everything required of him
unless the registrars think that it is safe to do
so. In othl r words, no man is to be regis
teredl unless hlie is supposed to be a RKlical,
and thus Arkansas is to be carried for (rant
and Collax. The courts are torbidden to in
terfere with the Radical autocrts" and oli
garchs in the consummation of this plan. Let
usan have peace.

policy of maintaining standing armies in time
of p:ace, of sustaining hordes of idle, vicious
peolple, through the freedmen'sa burean, and
of dividing the public revenue with a vast
organization of Radical thieves and plunder
ers.
Sheridan, in a recent letter, says that when
he Fut up his "little battle fag" in the streets
of New Orleans, Grant was the first man to
pat him approvingly on the back and give
him an encouraging word. So Sheridan, in
a tisse of profound tranquility, comes down
to New Orleans, pats up his "little battle
flag," and Grant inds time to take the
inevitable eigar from his reticent lips and ex
claims : "Go it my Phil! Let us have peace.
The Albany Journal says the poor man in

statement intrended to persuade the toiling

that the poor man never ie the tax.gatherer,
but it is false that he does ner feel the taxes.
The Journal might as well say that a man
with a load on his back would be relieved of
his harden by simply putting out his eyes.
The fact is that this is the most tax-riddes
coantry on the face of the earth, and thea
icals insist that the only practicable method
of reducing the taxes-4bIe Demoolratic plan of

JUULDST Ils ur l l.
-Should General Grant be chosen Prei
dent, every one knows that the land will have
rest for at least four year' from the 4th . f
March next" The most inveterate, whole
sowled and shameless adepts in mendacity
are those w ho, when telling an untruth, lool
you straight in the eye, and deliver the as
sertion with plain, unvarnished empbasis--r
the New York Tribune does in the aentence
above quoted.
It the election of Grant, as the representa
tive of the Radical party, would give the
oountry eeat for four years, why has the
country not had ret, under the domination
of that party for the past three years ? As
the executive esponent of Radical principles
and policy, he could do no more and no less
thaen to peolog the reign of Radicalism
And what has been the character of that
reign? What have been its fruits? This is
the only criterion by which we can be con
dueled to a safe conclusion for practical gui
dance.
In times like these we cannot trust to
words. We must judge by acts and by re
snlts. Utterance on the part of the Ralical
politicians. however fair its promises; reti
cence on the part of their presidential candi
date, however glozingly they may construe it,
are equally unsatisfactory. The Radical cau
cus which co-,bined with Grant for the pIr
pose of securing power hereafter, have had
cAntrol of the government for three years.
And for a great part of that time, Grant has
been an atave participant wish them La ea
cisilg an arbitrary dominion. In respect to
the execution of laws affecting questi_,us vital
to the peace and tranquility ,I the country. he
has virtually been Pre.id, it under Radical
legitlati, n, while Andrew Johnson has been
reduced to the mere shadow of the constitu
tional executive.
Well, then, with all power in the hands of
Grant and the Radicals, why has the land not
had rest? Why has it not had domestic
quiet in the several States of the South, and
harmony between the sections? Why did
not recuperation and prosperity follow the
clo-e of the war? Why has industry more
and more languished? Why has foreign
commerce continued to dry up from year to
year? Why do the people stagger under
increasing burdens of taxation, and why have
fifteen hundred millions of dollars been ex
pended without applying one cent to the re
duction of the public debt, which is aug
mented from month to month?
, Nothing has stood in the way of any of the
blessings referred to, nothing has prolonged
I and aggravated all the evils referred to, but
a the existing Radical domination. Aud yet
the New York Tribune has the hardihood to
t promise the country rest, prosperity, and so
forth, under a perpetuation of the same op
probrious misrule. Yes, there might be rest
r the rest of the grave. Yes, there might be
e prosperity-the prosperity of the grave-worms
called to the feast of death.
GOVS r OR WARMOrH REFUTED.
a When Governor Warmoth declared in an
official communication to the President that

OUTbAGO.
Radical clubs are becoming frequent upon
our streets,and it is not to be denied that out
reges upon citizens and property are as fre
quent as the processions. Last night about
fifty colored people turned out, uniformed as
Zouaves. Nobody molested them. But at
the corner of Grittvier and Carondelet streets,
a Spaniard or an Italian who keeps a smll
Iruit store next to Santini's, was assaulted and
badl, beaten by the myrmidons attending the
men in the procession. These outrages are
becoming too frequent ; they happen at every
Radical demonstration. They must cease, for
although the city is responsible for damages
which may be incurred, it is the tax-paying
citizens who have to settle up in the long
end.
Radical clubs have also used violent lan.
guage and made outrageous demonstrations
on ('anal street, in front of the Demotratic
t entral Committee.
These things must have an end-Demo
cratic clubs art not guilty of such conduct,
and the Radical clubs, be they white or be
they black, multi-colored, or uniform in com
p1lexion, must respect the rights of people
upon the streets. Job's patience was taxed be
uond endurance.
