dangers The nrst reputation OF debit second,

among the democratic party. Now, Mr.. Greeley. who
rdlculed me so much when spoke Of reputation and
assumption as things 10 be guarded aeans comes out
himself on the same subject and is writing II In his
own paper and in the Independent But is Just
now pressing daugerthe financial question Is yet in
the future. more pressing is the attempt on the
part OF weak republicans TO their party the risk
OF such Presidential outbreak as that which Is now
upon us ana which may throw US into disorder and
archy for years
TIE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION AN INDICATION OF A rHKA-
soSABLE STATE OF MIND.
On this point Mr.. Philips expressed himself IS fol-
lows:-

by the President an act OF as RESISTANCE would
b. an armed resistance to Congress- II indicates trea
sona0e state OF mind and 1t Is nothing but
another effort 10 bud up rebellion.
GOVERNMENTAL.
With respect to the position OF the government before
the country, Mr Phillips said:-

word government, when II comes to US almost under
official recognition from Kentucky that although four
hundred persons have been murdered in Kentucky
within year. not ono person has been punished Gen.
eral Thomas himself says that he cannot get
Brldgewater, who, after shooting down their VIC
tim, piercing him with eighteen bullets surrendered
to the sheriff, out were Afterwards acquitted on
the ground of justhable homicide, ] do not consider
that nation that permits such state Of things exist,
has got what is in the proper of the word
ernment Washington is at present in the hands OF
factions, between the chiefs of which ragin struggle
as to who shall clutch the reins Of power But there
no government No protection for lie or properly In
one half Of the Union aud the protection that exists for

MR. runLRs' VIEWS ON SUPPOSED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
sHLlDAS.

merits Sheridan that he carried his RUE in Louisiana
to any extreme extent Many OF tue police
Of New Orleans VINO attacked and murdered the

South resistance TO extreme radcasm there; IL
Is merely the pretence. His resistance Is meant not
primarily as against the Southern DISTINGUISHED
classes. but directed with . view Of breaking up tho
republican party there. General Sheridan Is hardly the
man at present
think General Thomas would make very available
military candidate He is able and honest, and above
the seductons OF party Influences
Ieugsostod tho VI Mr. Chase When Mr. Phillips
| at once responded. Mr.. Chase has element OF
popularity II think he would be an homes: President,
but he has not singe element that would tend to make
| him So much for Chase
GENERAL SHERMAN
With regard to General Sherman consider him the
best soldier OF the war; and the worst statesman So
much for Sherman.
