success, if wisdom, moderation and patriot ism had been; its guides' ol action lilts olose of the war. 'Every day and hour, from the moment when the South laid down its arms and left this party the victorious and undisputed arbiter of the destinies of the Government, its readers have been, laboriously en. gaged in digging its grave. -They have de veloped not one idea of sound statesmanship. Appointed, as masters of ihe situation, to be 1 he artificers of reconstruction, and the physicians to bind up the wounds of a brpi en U-oion, they have changed places with the so called "Rebels," and have bent all their energies to complele and perpetuate the work of disintegration which the seceding Slates began.

It is certain that this is nol the ban quel to which the "loyalty" of the Nonh was invited, when it was invoked to take up arms and open its treasures fur the "preser vaiion of the Union."

On Sunday afternoon, the children being al school, the farmer and his iVife were quietly reading, the wife silling in front of a window The snake quietly, crawled out, got unper. ceived under ihe good woman's crinoline, and tv isted himself round her leg from ihe ankle to the- knee, which position it kept for up wards of half an hour.

Judge of her eur Prof. Pike, we understand, denies the truth of the report of his death which Ave published some two weeks ago.

The Professor may know all about it, perhaps, but we assure him it came in a very authentic form, and has since been confirmed in as seemingly trustworthy a manner If, however, he insists upon its falsity, we -will throw up the spunge and yield the point. prise on finding so deadly a creature twisted round her leg. She sat still, not even looking at her husband, lest he should disturb the reptile. At last it uncoiled, and then twisted itself Bbout her foot.

and as the oarty went up like a rocket, it is not improbable that it will come down like a stick, and be suddenly eclipsed and lost to the public gaze. Not a trifling count in the indictment against it, is its gross, reckless and extrnvngani mismanagement of the pub lie finances. Waste and corruption have Hone hand in hand, through the whole pro cess of its financial legislation, to swell the National debt and pile up the taxes upon the country. A little mure than thirty years ago the administration jf John Qutncy Adams was condemned for extravagant expend iture, and this reached only some twenty mil linns a year. The revenue now being rais ed by Rndical legislation amounts 10 the enormous sum of six hundred millions, and everything but light and air is taxed to pay it.

The army of Radical contractors and shod dy-ites that has amassed collossal fortunes out of the war, shows clearly how dearly the Government has been made lo pay for its loans, and ho much of its three thousand millions of war debt has gone into the hands of the Radical financiers and their friends. For all ihis waste and besides their passion for political destructiveness, ihe Radical parly is on its trial.
