THE RADICAL PROGRAMME, --- o PREPARING FOR THE CONGRES SIONAL CAMPAIGN. Appealing to the Pocket--Protective Tariff and Steamship Subsidies--The Pope and Rebel Claims--Laying the Plans for a Platform. Correspondence New York Herald.] WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.--The Republicans are gradually forming their line and preparing their plan of campaign. A large part of their policy for the fall depends on the e blunders of the Democrats, and they mean to make a great deal of the Southern claims business. .The un expected adoption by the Ways and Means Committee of an income tax bill has given the Republican lead ers a good deal of satisfaction. They are opposed to it, but they may allow it to pass in the Senate, where their majority is narrow that a few absentees will give the Democrats control, and they say that if an in come tax is actually levied it will save New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to the Republican party. But aside from these tem porary issues, which are expected to be helpful in the fall canvass, the party leaders are coming to an agreement upon permanent ques tions. Mr. Blaino's speech at Ches ter on Saturday is intended to range his party definitely in favor of protection and in opposition to all changes in the present oppressive tariff. He introduced to-day a resolution in the Senate declaring that there ought to be no change in the tariff. At the same time Mr. Blaine is in favor of large subsidies to a number of lines of ocean steam ers as a concession to commerce, and it is probable that a high pro tective tariff, with subsidies to ocean commerce, will be found among the permanent planks in the Republican platforms hereafter. It may turn out also that this platform will con tain a resolution favoring the speedy completion of all public works, such as river and harbor improvements, public buildings and fortifications and a liberal policy for the improve ment of great national channels of commerce like the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Finally, there are many indica tions to show that the party leaders mean to go cautiously into an anti Catholic and Know Nothing move ment. The repeated denunciations of Secretary Schurz as a foreigner would not have been ventured on by cautious and skilful politicians were there not a purpose behind it, and one sometimes of late hears in Re . publican circles a discussion of the question whether "the *Pope and the rebel claims" would not carry the country. Altogether the Republi cans are picking up courage. They feel themselves getting into shape, and they do not think their oppo~ nents are either wise or united. They believe that the currency question will be out of the way be.. fore 1880, and that next fall they have a fair chance, what with the scare about rebel claims and the bribe of subsidies and internal im provements, added to a defence of the present tariff, to carry a majori. ty of districts for the House.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. 'ome of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be mnde. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these i3 a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. Tne whole stock is in the hands of the well-l.nown wholesale grocery house of the 'lhurbers.--N. Y. Tribune, Nov. t9, 17 The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor watered; that It has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
