Tue Radical Platfoum ?The New
York Sun properly hold* the Radical
party responsible for the acte of its chief
and chosen representatives. After refer?
ring to the infamoua course pursued by
the Administration . toward Louisiana,
and the public declaration of the Presi?
dent that no Executive control is exer
oised in the South which would not be
exeroieed in ahy Northern State under
the flame oiroumstanoea, the Sun logically
concludes:
"From these faoU it would appear
that the doctrine noW held and avowed
by the Republican party is. that in
future, should any State have the
effrontery to elect a .government dis?
pleasing to President Grant, that func?
tionary,- on any illegal pretense, may ose
the United States army to overthrow it
and to install in its place such persona as
may be satisfactory to him. In other
words; it is one of the dogmas of the
Republican party, as- now constituted,
that the people Of the different States
have no longer the right to elect their
own State officers and legislative bodies,
unless their choioo meats with the ap?
proval of General Grant."
That this is a forcible and fair state?
ment of the oase, no one pan deny. The
President unequivocally claims the power
and asserts his intention to treat every
State as Louisiana has been treated. The
party of which he is the leader and
month-piece has said nothing to indioate
that they repudiate the policy thus laid
down. No Radical convention or Legis?
lature has demurred to the platform
composed not only of mere words bat of
deeds. They evidently accept the polioy
thus marked oat, and, the country must
understand the issue. The States are to
be despoiled whenever the President fails
to sympathize with the views of those
who aro elected by the people to govern
them. This is it and nothing more.
Several Radical 'journals, possessing
more passion than brains, have attempt?
ed/' to ridioale a similar presentation of
the oase made by as on a former ocoasioo.
But if they deny that it is a ja at and
aoourate statement of the issue, they
must put ? the President down as a brag?
gart and a bully. The language used by!
him cannot be mistaken. He was more
than usually olear in the arrangement of
his words and the expression of his ideas.
If he spoke the troth, he intends to
make the issue with the American peo?
ple, but no honest man can'h?pe that be
will survive it.

A safe man.lor fteAven, Dr whatever
locality good deeds exalt a man to, is
the fireman pf -a Georgia railroad, who
was riding on' the locomotive On the af?
ternoon of the 12th instant, along with
the engineer. The .faces of the two
blanched with terror, as they saw a beau?
tiful little prattlerv about two years old,
flourishing his little arms, his eyes flash?
ing with excitement and delight, stand?
ing astride one of the rails a few. yards
ahead of them, unoousoioos of anything
but that little infantile sense of great?
ness whioh makes a big man of such lit?
tle fellows juat on those rare oooasions.
The brakes,, at first 'sight of him, were
whistled down wildly by the only two
spectators of this terribly pretty specta?
cle. But it would have been impossible
to cheok tlte train, had the brakes been
four times more powerful than they
were, iu time to save the little iunc
oent. It is said the engineer's black
hair is now. streaked with grey, from the
intensity of bis emotion. But the gal?
lant fireman, pnt his own lifo in tbo
broach at the niok of time, by scrambling
to the cow citchor, leaping forward from
it, and preoipitating himself, with tbo

Little Delaware Protests Against
Despotism in Louisiana.?Beforo its ad?

passed a series of resolutions, condemn?

interfering with affairs in Louisiana, and
dosing as follows:
"In obedience to a souse of duty to
the people we represent, we hereby
solemnly protest against the action of
tbo exeoutive branch of the F?deral Go?
vernment over the people of Louisiana,
and express to the people of that Stato
assurances of the deepest sympathies of
the people of Delaware in their effort to
maintain their just rights against Usurp?

The civil rights and enforcement bills
were framed -and giidedre^nd JUung up on
tbe walla ol tois "nation''?for the eepe
oial boboof and benefit of the Bornbern
portion thareof. Well tho Booth baa
gracefully and. peaceably submitted to
these "enforcements;" but now the
"free North" is beginning to fsel the
scourge it prepared for its neighbors'
shoulders, but winoes and shirks it, as
earnestly as did Friar Joseph, in Bul
wer's Richelieu, did the vicarious honors
of being tho Cardinal's proxy in flagella?
tion. The "man and brother" Nprth
has been lately asserting himself, and
administering the nauseous draught of
absolute equality with his white neigh?
bor to his ^Northern "friends I " We
bavo that "trooly loil" Grant print, the
New York Commercial Advertiser, to tell
how cheerfully, fratornally, and delight?
edly the Northern "man and brother"
has rnabeM into the embraces of his
"colored brother," who, he now un?
gratefully and disrespectfully terms "ne?
gro." We believe tbo spelling of the
word with two g's used to be tbe com?
plaint against the South, but it sounda as
little civil rightish with one. Hear the
New York Grant organ:
The Colored Brother,?It is re?
ported that seven colored men are about
to bring before tbe courts three -test
oases. Two of these oases relate to the
right of negroes to enter plaoas of pub?
lic amusement; the third touches the
question of restaurant privileges. Un?
der the recent law of this State, which
provides that no parson shall be ex?
cluded from any place of public resort
by reason of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude, two oolored men
claimed the right of admission to one of
the best theatres in this city, having
paid tbe regular prioe for their tickets,
but they were exoluded by tbe door?
keeper.
A similar attempt was made by two
other ooiored men, a few evenings later,
with a like result. Three other negroes,
inspired by a similar desire to "rise to the
standard of the white, essayed to con?
sume oysters at a restaurant in Bleeoker
street, but were threatened with expul?
sion, and left the place voluntarily, in
order to prevent a disturbance. It is
understood that the oounsel for the ne?
groes, determined to obtain the decision
of the courts on these questions of rights
and privileges, intends to push the suits;
but tho defenoe on tbe part of tbe thea?
trical manager is a denial of the right of
the Legislature to pass laws requiring
owners of theatres to admit persona
whoso presence would be disagreeable to
their regular patrons. It is a trouble?
some question, but one iu whioh the
greater part of thai community is inte?
rested. ? '*?? ?? -
If our throatre audiences are to be
composed of blacks and whites, perhaps
in equal numbers, and our church con?
gregations and schools to be similarly
"misoegerated," there will be a new con?
troversy, and a very lively one, to oc?
cupy the columns of the newspapers, tbe
pages of the magazines and the tongues
of society. Perhaps, in tbe end, our
theatrical managers will fall back upon
the shrewd devioe of the tbreatres in
some of tbo Southern oities, issuing "in?
vitations," instead of tickets, and politely
requesting "contributions,", in lieu of
the usual entrance fee. It is an easy
matter to declare by Aot of Congress or
Legislature that public companies shall
no longer be "select;" but it will be a
difficult task to prevent what Darwin
calls "tbo survival of tbe fittest."
John Stoart Mill's Tribute to his
Wife.?The death of John Stuart Mill
recalls an incident which revealed the
depths of his tender nature. His work
on "Liberty" appeared in 1850, soon
after tbe death of his wife, and tho
memory of that lady's singular abilities
and womunly virtues was embalmed by
him in tho touobing uud eloquent dedi?
cation of tho volume It was as follows:
"To tbe bolovcd and deplorable me?
mory of bor who was the inspirer, and,
iu part, tho author, of all that is best in
my writings?the friend and wifo whose
exulted sense of truth and right was my
strongest incitement, and whoso appro?
bation was my chief reward?I dedicate
this volume, ^dko all I have written for
many years, irbolongs ns much to her as
to mo; but tbo work as it stands has bad,
iu 0 very insufficient degree, tbe inesti?
mable advantage of her revision; sotno
of tho most important portions having
beeu reserved for a more oaroful re-ex?
amination, which they are now never
destined to receive. Were I but capable
of interpreting to tho world ono-bulf tin
grout thoughts and noblo feelings which
uro buried in bor grave, I should bo tho
medium of a greater benefit to it than is
ever likoly to arise from anything that I
can writo unprompted und unassisted by
her all but unrivaled wisdom."
Mrs. Mill lies buried at Avignon, long
tbo homo of tho well-mated pair, and in
tbo spring of every year, sicco bor death,
bo has made a pilgrimage to bor grave.
During tho last of those visits he died.
Tbo world now pays to him a tribute as
sincere and as just as that which be paid
to ber.

A ScsSsro Refctssoa Crstot.
New London, Conn., from her cm lee to
the Booth Shetland I&leM, situated iri
tho Antarctic regions, whtttssfeehas beep
engaged in tho Rapture ol G^sja. for the
English market, the following facta, re?
lating how fi vo of the orew of the vesse*
Franklin passed tho winter on one of
these ice-bound Isles, and ho* only, one
of them survives to kell the story of tEeh
terrible Bufferings, have "been obtained.
The name of the eurvivor is James A,
King, a -boat steerer, aged thirty-four
years, a native of New York? where bis
wife, sister and a brother, employed in
tho tire department, are how Hying.
Iu the year 1871 the schooner Frank?
lin, Captain Holmes, left New London
as one of the pioneer vesaels from that
port,-to engage in the seal fishery at the
Houth Shetland Islands, whioh are situ?
ated at about ten days' sail to the south?
ward of Gape Horn, in latitude 64.
Alter an uneventful voyage of four
months the vessel arrived at its destina?
tion. The following day the oaptain
ordered a boat'a orew of five men, nnder
the orders of James A. King, boat steer?
er, to proceed to the shore and com?
mence killing seals at Window Island,
?off whioh plaoe the vessel was anchored.
In the boat were plaeed provisions for
seven days, and a big olub for eaoh of the
men, with whioh to kill the seals by hit?
ting them on tho head. Captain Holmes'
instructions were: "Kill all you can, and
we will be back for you within a week."
The Franklin then sailed away, and the
men oommenoed slaughtering all the
seals they [could find, and so eacoesBfui
were they that at the expiration 4t the
fifth day they had killed and skinned
4,000 seals. When these akius were
piled ou tho rocks ready for shipment
the seal crop was found to be exhausted,
and the men, after' holding a consulta
tion, resolved, with their remaining pro?
visions, to set ont for St. George'? Is?
land, which is situated iu tho immediate
vicinity of Window Island, where they
would carry on the war against the seals.
King wrote, before leaving, with a piece
of chalk on a small p:ece of board, "we
have left for St. George's Island. Cull
for ns there." The rioh booty of seal
skins was left on the beaoh, und the
party departed for the island, where its
'members safely arrived and oommenoed
operations. Meanwhile tho Franklin
retured from a cruise to Livingstone Is?
land, (where it had made a large haul of
seals,) to Window Island, expecting to
find her five men there, take them on
board and sail for home. A boat was
accordingly Bent ashore to bring them
on board, but, of course, tbey were in?
visible; but after traveling a considera?
ble distance along the rugged shore the
pile of seal skins was discovered by the
orew, and also the notice, written by
King, to the effect that the party had
left the island. By this time the weather
was becoming boisterous*and cold, and
it was found impossible to take all the
seal skiun on board skip. They were,
consequently, abandoned, and the Frank?
lin prooeeded to Sb. George's Island in
quest of the missing men, who, the cap?
tain judged, if not relieved, would soon
perish. For several days the vessel
cruised in the vicinity of the island, the
captain constantly studying it with his
glass, bnt in vain, to see if he could per
oeive any sign of human life. This
group of islands is totally uninhabited,
aod it is only from the middle of Janu?
ary nntil the middle of March that the
so-called summer reigns. Nothing could
be seen of the boat or of tho men, but
' in spite of this, guns were fired con?
stantly, fog-horns we|p blown, and at
night rockets were sent up; but no re?
sponse of any kind came from the 6uore,
and the captain of the Franklin, seeing
the futility of his efforts, was forced to
abandon the mon to their fato, and
sailed for home. No boat was sent
nshore, on account of the breakers and
the ice which had already formed. After
a rough passage the Franklin arrived at
New London, and the lo?s of ber five
men was duly chronicled.
Iu AugUBt, last year, a New London
sealing fleet left for the South Shetland
Islands, and it was mutually agreed that
the captains of the vessels should do all
iu their power to discover what had be?
come of tho fivo lost men. Wheu tho
bark Nile, commanded by Captain Wil?
liams, camo to an anchorage off Potter's
Cove, St. George's Island, tbo captain
and a nnmber of his raon went ashore to
sue what had happened to tbo men. The
captain expected, owing to tho frightful
cold of this region of perpetual huow
and ico, that nono of them would bo
aiivo. Walking nloug tbo benoh for
some distance, the exploring party were
astonished to find a small woodeu but,
from which projootcd a stove-pipe,
situated at about two ship's lengths from
the shore. Tho door was pushed open,
and, iu a comer of tho hut, a man, with
a long red beard and matted hair, was
found fast asloep. Iiis olotbiug consisted
of seal skins. Ou his feet for a substi?
tute for shoes wore "penguin sandals,"
mado by removing tho body of tho ani?
mal and using tho skin and feathers of
tho beast.
James Randall, a boat steerer of the
Nile, made tho following statement:
I was among the first who discovorod
King's hut. It waB mado of boards,
feathered and grooved, placed thero by
tho vessel Francis Allen, in case it might
bo uoeded to erect tho hut for tho sailors
who might be detained ashoro during the
sealing season. The boards and a stove
wore found by tho fivo mon, and they suc?
ceeded, after considerable difficulty, in
getting all in plaoe. Well, we woke up
King, who was so glad to seo us that he
ooold hardly speak. He bad been with?
out a fire for several days, and was in a
somewhat benumbed condition. This is
what King told ub:
"We managed to live upon pelican
flesh and some biscuits which had been
left bohind by a boat's crew. Wo made
olothos as well as wo could out of seal
skins, The cold was intense, in spite of
the stove, iu which we burned seal blub?
ber. Wo managed to lose account of
time daring the year which we have
i>afl*e.l here, and k?ew IhaTSa?rflernia
oome a^&in bj ita being warm. Oar
baling^ap from oar boat was. very use
.^??l?nt a fortnight ago?as nearly asjl
can make oat," saia KiDg, "three of my
mates took tbe boat and said they were
going baok to Window Island. . One. of
Our original number of five, I bad for
gotten to Bay, a Portugese, from the
Capo de Verde Islands, bad died from
weakness and frost biteB several months
back, and we buried bitu jn tbe snow
near the sea. Tbe three survivors in?
cluded Townsend, the third mate, who
was a native of Shinneoock, Long Island,
and was' the'head of' the movement in
breaking up our but establishment. I
remonstrated with him and - told him it
would be foolishness to leave after under?
going such privations together, and that,
we bad better fight it ont to tbe end. I
also stated that if they loft me I should
be without any fire, as the mate had tho
only flint and steol among the party, and
we bad no matches."
. "However, they left, and I helped
them to launch tbeir boat. I don't
know what has happened to them."
Captain Buddington, tbe present-com?
mander of the Franklin, whioh went out
again last year from New London, re?
ported subsequently that a sailor's ooat
and portion of the boat in whioh tbe
three men embarked was found on the
beach near Cape* Sheriff, about thirty
miles distant from tbo but in which tbe
men had passed their dreary year, and it
is therefore to be concluded that tbe
men were drowned in the breakers and
never reached Elbow Island.
It is reported that tbo seals aro now
almost entirely killed off these South
Shetland Islands, and that several years
must elapse before any further expedi?
tions will be aent out from tbe United
States.
Nencea County, Texan, is somewhat
lively: "A party of horse thieves have
been seen on the San Fernandez, with
about seventy boraes in their possession.
Twenty-sevon ? desperadoes have been
seen near Piedras Piutas; they were
threatening to burn the stores and rob
the place. A party of men recently at?
tempted to rob some wagons at Lake
Trinidad, but after having one of tbeir
number crippled, oonolnded that it was
not a good day for that sort of business.
A poor woman died and was buried
without a coffin some six leagues below
Corpus. Hor body has been found par?
tially eaten by coyotes, and from late
evidence adduced it is believed that she
was really murdered. A Mexican has
been found banging to a tree on Turkey
Creek, near Neuces town. He appeared
to have been -hanging there for four or
five days. Another American ha* been
shot by a Mexican. There is a great
complaint about Mexicans turning tbeir
working <_attlo looee iu the streets, and
causing dainago to property. Tbe party
of tho notorious Alberta have been at?
tacked and routed. It has become dan?
gerous for travelers between Corpus
Christi and tbe Bio Grande."
For Ann Localities and Climes.?A
true specific is adapted to all localities
and climes, and for this reason, that it
I strikes at the causative principle of tbe
I diseases which it is administered to cure.
Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, for exam?
ple, is a true specific, not only because
it fortifies tbe body against the external
influences which prompts disease, but
because, when taken as a remedy instead
of as a provontative, it neutralizes the
infective principle in tbe blood and
thereby destroys the primary source of
the ailment. Honoe as an antidote to
epidemic disorders, and to all complaints
which are produced or aggravated by
miasma, or the proseuoo of anything
deleterious in the air, the water or tbe
soil, it is as nearly infallible as any me?
dicinal preparation can be. Iu our own
country, as a remedy for intormittent
fevors, bilious affections, constipation,
dyspepsia, nervous weakness, rheuma?
tism aud general debility, it is unrival?
ed, nor is it less celebrated in the tropics
