This controversy, though thus far a quiet
one, is very serious in its bearings.
"More than this, the prospect that Wade
will have in his hands, at the time of the
Chicago Convention, the most tremendous
mass Of patronage that President ever
had to bestOw, emboldens his friends to
challenge the pre-eminence Of the CLAIMS
Of Grant. The Ben Wadese finding that
his nomination for the Vice Presidency IL
to be contested, have an impression that
they might as we'll strike for the first place
as the second and if Wade gets into the
White House depend upon it they will
make a strike. This also Is an element OF
discord

removal Of johnson, and the Inauguration

TIE coNGREssIONAL FURIEs.

The letter of the Tennessee Congress
man TO Governor Brownlow is a unique
paper. may be construed either as a
lecture for neglect in the discharge OF
his proper duties, covert satire upon
his administration, or an effort to incite |
that functionary to further exhibitions Of
the peculiar excellen cies, as a Governor,
which have marked his career
The Governor evidently accepts 1t in
the last sense, but was it entirely gra-
cious to cite his attention to the alleged
Iawlessness and violence which over
spreads the State Is he not the chief
executive officer, the appointer alike ofthe
judges and the ministerial officers Of the
law? Does be and his Legislature not

discomfort and strife and bloodshed, who IS

NEW YoK, May 1.-The Herald prints
letter from Judge Black to the President,
Withdrawing as the latter's counsel, owing
to the Presidents determination to do moth
ing for the relief Of the owners Of Alta
Vela. He says he never asked the Presi-
dent to decide on the matter until he had
expressed the opinion that the title was
legal and just as Mr. Black says, Stewards
little finger, it appears, is thicker than the
loins Of the Law. He and the thieves whose
interests ne has guarded so faithfully, are
welcome to the short-lived victory they
have won. NV retirement from your cause
will not probably diminish the chances of
its suCcesss.
The Tribune's special from Atlanta,
April 80, says: The official returns from
If6 counties put Bullock 3, l40 ahead. The
reports down to night indicate Republi-
can majority in the State, and that the
State Senate and House will have RePub-
lican majority.

Special to the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Mr. Evarts'
argument to-day, like Yesterday Is the
topic of discussion and admiration. He
again drew his keen blade of sarcasm on
the managers, and having at the time un-
der consideration the article relative 70
the Presidents speeches, he read the re-
marks of Bingham against Butler, in the
House, when that worthy contemptuOusly
alluded to the exploit Of the latter at Fort
Fisher Bingham laughed heartily at this
sally, and Butler hung his head. But he
also read where Butler, in retort, accused
Bingham of being a murderer in hanging
an innocent woman, Mrs. Surratt. Bling
hams face flushed and paled alternately
and he looked the picture Of despair
Evarts also cited the speeches of Sumner,
Howe and others, and demonstrated that
they had used language far more indeco-
rous than that laid to the Presidents ac-
count
Radicals and all unite in opinion that
Everts' argument is of unparalleled logic
and power and statesmanlike views.
Bingham says Everts is a fine lawyer bat
no statesman.
A letter addressed by Judge Black to
