COLUMBI^. Thursday Morning, Sept. 20, 1866. Mart-Blasphemous. Our exchaugcs inform us that the radical preachers are praying for the ?loath of the President. Surely, this is an indication of the approaching destruction of their infamous party, for "whom tho gods would destroy, they iirst make mad," and no one hut tho maddest of individuals would invoke the interposition of tho Al? mighty to aid such a graceless set of fanatics in thc accomplishment of their schemes. But there fire deluded and de? bauched tools attached to that party, upon whom, it is to bo feared, the ef? fect of such prayers will not fail in legitimate, and, perhaps, intended results. There will be found among snell a jmrty, many who, acting nuder tho influence of these so-called prayers, will imagine it to bo their cinty not to wait for tho Almighty's tiino to call Andrew Johnson from tho labors and duties of life, but take tho work in their own hands, aud in this way ease their consciences by the unholy idea that they are doing God a service. Such has been the course af fana? ticism-and especially religious fana? ticism-in all ages of the world. "Various creeds and sects have prac? ticed the persecution of force and tor ment, even unto death, because theil victims would not profess their reli gious creeds; and often when theil victims did profess a change, thc} were nevertheless put to death, foi fear they would return to their here sics. So it is with radicalism of th< present day. Its high priests wouh pat to the fire and sword the peoph , of the South, although they havt abandoned the heresy (so-called) o slavery. The rapacious maw of that will fanaticism will not be satisfied wit the simple abolition of slavery, an the hecatombs of human sacrifice already made to appease it. It erie fo? mnrp; hut. f?nAing Andrew Johr. son standing immovable betwee **.o?> on?l f.hoir ;?Uon<1cd Victim. they have the hardihood to appioac the Almighty and appeal to Him t remove the obstacle, that their insar and devilish scheming has thus fi failed to do. From praying for h: death, and their prayers being unai 'swered, they will take another ste forward, and preach that the highe duty is to get rid, in some way, < him whom they hate and revile f( Ms noble-hearted patriotism. Bi the same Shield which has thus f? preserved him from their machin tions, will remain his protection ai ?are defence. The Keystone State-Forney. The elections in Pennsylvania w he looked forward to with inter?s The conservative candidate for Ci vernor is Mr. Clymer, and the rat cal candidato Gen. Geary. A corr? pondent of tho New York Herat writing to that paper, before ho h; news of Bennett's last summersau says that Clymcr's chances have ii proved wonderfully of late; the d gusting exhibition at Philadelpl having drawn many votes frc Geary's to Clynier's side He sn known and prominent Rep?blica ure willing to take office under Jot son, and support bis policy, profe ing to be sick of the radical leav that is working in the party. Another writer says that, as to F ney's chances for the Senate, he 1 none ;and that Curtin, Cameron Stevens will be chosen. No one ] any confidence in Forney's hones and, excepting a few political hu in Philadelphia, he hos no friends We do not know what reliance to be placed in these speenlatio but the result in Pennsylvania rn exercise a considerable influence shaping the future policy of the rn eal party. In Thad. Stevens' i trict, the Democrats were never in hopeful and united, and it is shi that he wUl he elected by a lurf diminished majority. \Vc Seed ho very sanguine, notwithstanding tiiese hopeful predictions. Tho creased majorities for radicnli where elections have been held, h not much ground for hone. In sh we have arrived at the conclusic tho radicals will maintain, or ne so, their present strength in < gross. -. It is stated on good authority, the number of prisoners at the Tortugas at this time is five hum and eighty, j A Sew Convention. The Richmond Dispatch suggests a new idea, tinder thc present threat? ening aspect of affairs. It assumes, and upon good grounds, that the rump Congress will attempt to im? peach tho President ; but is no less confident that the President will not recognize tho authority of the House, us now constituted, to i in - peach him, or that of the Senate* to try him. As we have frequently predicted, tho Dispatch socs tho inevitable re? sult of this action, and that is another bloody civil war. The President will call npon the military for support; Gens. Steedrfian, Fullerton, perhaps Cirant, and hundreds of others of tile best general? in tho country, will rally around him. Perhaps un equally largo number will sustain the pro tensions of Congress. Civil war, then, cannot well he avoided, unless one or other of these parties surrender. When stich a terrible conflit fc opens, it is evident that tho bonds a ad trea? sury notes of the United States would become worthless, and there? fore capitalists are deeply interested in preventing such a result. Thc Dispatch, tl ten: fore, suggests that th?, capitalists of the country hold a eon vention ar. an early day, and agro? upon a plan of combined action, ti defeat the radicals at the coming elections. We think thc suggestion :i goo< one. Capital, so very sensitive 01 the approach of civil war or pol?tica disturbance, should put forth it: power while it can wield it, to preven a catastrophe which would undoubt edly swamp it. lt can exercise : powerful influence at the Northen ballot-boxes; and if the radical should be defeated there, will be m danger of any disturbance. Tb advice is good to the capitalists, am it will not fail to have its influence 01 even the more humble holders o Government securities. We believ further, in this connection, that th success of the radicals at the election even before they resort to an definite action, will lnrcely i1*v-vo?? the price of public securities, ami i tue same ratio advance the rate < gold. Those who were fortunate t have plenty of Government oblig: tions, will doubtless stand fr>.t under the anticipated crash. SITTING OF THE COURTS.-Th Housd of 'Representatives, in Che Lt gislature, on Tuesday, passed a bil by a vote of fifty-five to forty-si: that the Courts of Common Plea mesne and final, shall be held ai nually, in thc spring of the year, i tho times and places in each Distri as now established by law. The S nato concurred yesterday. So that is now an Act. LAUBENS RAILROAD. The Newba ry Herald learns that the repairs i this road are being vigorously carrit on, and that in three weeks the co nection between Laurens and Ne berry will be complete. A NORTHERN OPINION.-Thc 1P<* ern Mirror, published at Cambrid*: Indiana, hos the following, iront private letter written by a preach of Abolition proclivities, who we from Iowa down South. The lett was written to a friend in \Yu\ County, Indiana, and the extract fi nished by bim to the Mirror reads: ''Society is in a dreadful com ti on. The slaves now free are t worst set of vagabonds that was ei known; lurking about, stealing a starving, dying' and getting killt After spending money enough ligl in? about them to pay for every o ?d' them and semi them to Afr with a year's provision, and the li of a million of lives, it. is now wo for black ?md white than iL was 1 fore tho war commenced." GEORGIA BONDS. -Thu Augti Constitutionalist say s : We have reliable information tl Governor Jenkins borrowed 01 euough money by the sale of hoi in New York to meet the pressing i gagements of the State, lie coi have sold more bonds ut ninety ce in the dollar, but refused todo believing that they ought, to ci maud more. The bonds were cured by a mortgage of tho West, and Atlantic Railroad, in accordai with sin Act of the Legislature, proved March 12, I8?6. lt is s that, the Governor lias, since his turu home, sold ii small amount the bonds at ninety-seven-and-a-1 cents on tho dollar. They ought bring dollar for dollar. Ninety-I cents is tho price now offered in N York. \n English paper says Ger Massey has become a spiritual i ilium. Tr m poi ixl Power of tUe Pope. Tho future of the Pontiff, as to the extent of tue effects of tho lato war on his temporal authority, is attract? ing much attention on both sides of j tho Atlantic- not so much on account ; of tho power or magnitude of his I Stat e, fis from tho historic and ccelc j si:istic:il prominence of its ruler. A good many journals havo expressed . the opinion that his temporal au? thority us a oivil magistrate, which d;tt< s from the time of Constantine, is approaching to its close. Thc Balti? more Trunscrijtlis notof Iltis opinion. It says: "IL seems to ?ts :t lillie too curly to I assume that tho temporal power of j the Pope is permanently ended. Tho I intelligent, reader need scarcely heiu ? formed that, repeatedly in the his I tory of the Papacy, the Pope has been i compelled lo relinquish his capital; lint, in thc course of ;i few yours, or an even shorter period, events have restored to him his sovereignty. Ho \v:ts held at one tinto a prisoner by tho great Napoleon, ami seemed as weak and helpless an object in tin* grasp of that mighty conqueror, as :i ? lamb iu tin' clutches ol'un eagle. Hut the conqueror died at last, himself a prisoner, ou au island rock, rcverent I iv acknowledging the spiritual au I thority of his former captive, who was ; once more free, and again a sove? reign. In our Protestant eyes, and, j we think, in thc view nf sound rca ; son and religion, thc temporal power j is inconsistent with tho spirit of I Christianity, and wo have no manner i of doubt that it must he a disadvan? tage to tho real strength and spiritu j ality of tho Church; but still, in view : of tbe many ups ami downs of the temporal power, we shall not feel quito certain that it has ceased for good, till wc have tho Pope's own word to that effcet. The recent ter? ritorial changes in Europe are not likely to be permanent, and Bismark may afford another illustration of going up like thc rocket and coming down like the stick." And the New York Catholic Register has the following comments, which of course express the opinions ol ? good Catholics everywhere: "In the prospect, so far as human sagacity eau forecast, there is nothing but disaster, spoliation timi lnimi ? liation for the Pope. And yet, I intelligent Catholics, all over th? i world, while they grieve and regret, j laugh at the oppressor, while the\ fear the judgments of Heaven Tiley .... lV.w f.-.? tli. rupAoy nor for the Church!

There is no enduring principl j in any Government not based tin tin principles taught by the Catholi* Church. But, while the world lasts intelligent Catholics know that, po litically sovereign and inderi tudeni or else in a prison the doors ii which will be opened soon- even i I miraculously, as in the ease of th j first Pope, St. Peter tho Vicar Christ on earth will !ill rule th Church, as tho successor of SI !

Mexico. Daring tho President's pilgrimage, be bas been faithfully attended by the minister of tho somewhat sha? dowy and intangible republic of Mexico. In recognition of bis devotion, tho President dropped for h is consolation a few words of comfort in one of Iiis recent speeches. "How about Mexi? co?" asked one of tho sovereigns, in the midst of :i speech of the Presi? dent. "Wait until we get all the Stiites back into the Union, anti we will hike cure of Mexico," was tho President's reply. And Grant, silent us tho grave upon ail other subject?, never hesitates to express his opi? nions in favor of our interference in the affairs of Mexico. lint what shape shall this interference take? When Maximilian leaves Mexico ami rejoins his Kmpress at Miramar, sb.il! we leave Mexico to the prey of tierce ami greedy factions? What shall we gain hy the masterly diplomacy which has at last resulted in the triumph of thc "Monroe loctriuc," il* we look on while rival chiefs cul each other's throats and render the lises und properly o!' all foreigners insecure! Unless we propose to nsf! the shadowy republic of Mexico as a sort of .lohn Doo or It ich ard lice, wherewith to acquire a good possess? ory *illr, what use have We for th?: Mexican minister? When the Austrian decamps, we must lose no time in the acquisition of Mexico. The terrible passions which are hurrying this nation to per? dition must find vent somehow an somewhere. Providence seems .1 have wisely provided Mexico as 11iv. "sick man," whose case demands om immediate attention. As a Ohristiai and highly civilized nation, we can not permit Mexico to remain at lin mercy of brigand presidents and gue rilla chiefs. Our speedy intervention is indispensably necessary to preven Mexico from falling into far worse hands than those of the amiable Aus trian prince whose speedy exit is pre dieted with so much certainty. Wi see no hopo of peace and union fo the South until the attention of tin North is withdrawn from Cuffee am directed to the management and im provement of the Mexican.

The Northern and Southern dele gates ?lo not meid in one assembly and deliberate in common. A bede convention of intermingled Nortis' .n and Southern citizens would not have tuisweved tho main designs of the Had ?cal inst ?gators of thisaffatr. They desire to make it appear that thc loyal South solicits aid from thc loyal IVn t'n in securing negro suffrage; or, in other words, that negro suffrage is not a sectional measure. After thc call for the Southern ('?invention had been issued, the Radicals bethought thom that possibly the Southern "loyalists"' might not exactly like to return to their homes and mingle among their neighbors, after having at b m ?led such a Convention and voted for negro suffrage. The great in pouring ?il extemporized Northern delegates -.vas accordingly devised as a ii!e:uis of stiffening up the Conven? tion and holding it to its expected work. This outside pressure was te be disguised under the insinuating pretence of hospitality. Six or seven days ago the Republican newspaper? all al once began lo call for a great display of sympathy and fraternal eot'iliality, and the Republican Stat?

MILITARY ARRESTS.-We arti relia? bly informell that General Grant has issued an order explanatory of tho one recently published in relation to military arrests. Wo have not seen the. order, but are informed that it requires the department commanders to make arrests only in eases where the civil authorities are in league with the violators of the existing laws, or where they have refused to act in the matter; and that it does not require tin; military authorities to arrest par? ties for offences committed prior to the military occupation of the coun? try. This explanation places quite a different construction from the one on the. orsler first issued, and is in? tended to assist rather than interfere with the proceedings of the civil courts. Under the construction of General Grant's order, we presume all parties who have been arrested ami are now in confinement, for offences commit? ted prior to the occupation of the country by the Federal troops, will be released. In fact, we have heard of one instance where it has already been done. A mun, in East Florida, has been released, who had escaped and had been re-arrested under the provisions of General Grant's first order.-Florida Sentinel.
