An attempt on the part' of General ; Grant to stein the, tide of. extravagance and corruption that is now flowing with such terrific force through the Radical party,' is as likely to be suc cessful'as an effort to stay the tide of the Dela ware with a. lady's handkerchief. ' The hounds of the party have-a 1 ready! scented the blood, and will be satisfied with notluns short of a full slut of it.- Plunder is their object and plunder they will have, even though the "reforming"! Grant and "economic" Washburne protest most yehe .meutly against it. bj j Does any saue man suppose that whiskey rings, i railroad rings,; telegraph rings, and the host of other bloodsucking cabals and cliques,! noy 'awaiting Grant's advent to pywer, will be satisfied to have the prizes "for which they have Leeu so3long and earnestly cou toudiug wrested-from them without a fierce i t- if., j struggle, and just at the moment, toowhen they seemed to be already within their srrast)? Not a bit of it. j General Grant may honestly resolve to conduct the affairs of -Government; upon a system that jwould be j acceptable, to the people generally, but wo greatly fear that his good in tentions will be frustrated, , and that , like all other reformers in the like which he appears to have marked out for himself, he will utterly and signally, fail; and this'jtpprehension is shared by a majority of the best! men in the Radical party. 1 JriladeljJiia lliryitV j jl i ..".'- ' -ik", Startlino.

He says ; !! We have had a sensation in bur poorhouse a sensation rivalling in intensity tKe story of "Penchole. , rr Some" months ago i a woman squalidly dressed, but the owner of a face sin gularly beautiful, was committed to the alms- house for vagrancy. -A little child accom hen ; Her manners, though coarse, gave unmis takeable evidence of . former refinement, i Her voice was soft and melodious, and her eyes lus- trous ana sparKiins'. one was miseraoiy poor,j both in purse and dress, and appeared to have sunered in past years inucn agony or. minu. one claimed to have once moved in respectable cir cles and registered her name as Eloise Urep- tauo. She performed all her duties in the alms house, and frequently sang sonnets in trench and Italian. Jx is reported that she was formerly an opera singer ot some note. nen spoken to on the subiect she grave an evasive answer, and preserved a long silence. : : ' " i l ! Two weeks j ago, one Clarence Beaumont, a "Piquillo," tattered and torn, hungry and; for! lorn, was committed to the building on the charge ofvagrancy.fj He was possessed of more than ordinary intelligence; but seems to have been em bittered by the trials of lifet.aud his conversa tion was marked with' coarseness and profanity'. After being in the almshouse three days, he manifested a strong, attachment for Eloise, and sought her company constantly, waiting upon her with tho assiduity of a servant, and paying her the most j respectful attention. He soon gained her heart and affections. iOn" the day before his (discharge they had a long interview,! and separated with mutual tears and caresses, j J Now, mark: the sequel. Clarence Beaumont was discharged from the poorhouse on. Friday niomitig. Before he ' left, the pair; had made preparations; Jfbr "an elopement. .At 3 A. M.j Kloise stole' lout of her.cot, with her sleeping child on her arm, niet her lover beneath thej cold stars at the gate, and carefully crept away 'over the snow. At 7 A.

H ' In the Senate of the United States the Pro- posed amendment to the Constitution, providing tor negro suffrage, being - under discussion, Mr Ferry J from Connecticut, referring to a remark of his cblleabrue 3lr Dixon that if the amend ment was adopted Connecticut would cease to be an independent State."; said he hud heard that cry before and during the war from the rebels of the : South and the treasonable demo cracy of Connecticut, but the loyal people of the tState had trampled it down," ;' jl r Thereupon Mr Dixon asked hirn if he denied iiiat tne oiaieoi uuuuucucuii is au niucpcuucm State?
