WASHINGTON, August 18th Lilo
Judge Lewis Dent brothef-fn- law of Z
the President, and an applicant. for
gubernatorial honors in Mississippi, ~
is on the war path. The Judge says
he represents the Conservative Re-
publican party. of which his brother
in-law, President Grant, is the head f'
center. He blames Boutwell, for
Grants detection in the Tarbell Con ,--
versatiOn, and has addressed that
gentleman the following highly inter
esting and spicy letter. Jf7 No s.
Hon. George Boutwell,, Secretary of
the Treasury ;ta-0 taa i,a f.i. orge..
"SIR-I shall make little apology
for asking your attention to my letter,
and less for the nature ofits contents r.
You were the first to deny the poll
tical orthodoxy of my friends and

I am entitled to o defense. Again
you hold an Office of the Republic,
and your acts, therefore, are legiti- (
mate subjects of criticism by the;
humblest citizen thereof. Butin some
respects we are alike; for instance,
we are aspirants for place, with this
| difference-you aim to be the next
| President, with every assurance of =
success, except in the opinion of, the
| people; while / seek an thumbler
| place, with my hopes in disastrous
eclipse, except in the Judgement iof (,
! Mississippi So, in the probablesres l
suits of the future, we both stand ad-
verse to the Judgment of the country.

E.Your excellent tool, Mr.. Tullock.l
became so reckless in the .manipula-y
tion of your department in the In
terest of your ambition, and so def .
ant of the wishes of the President
and the country, that to save your
self from an explosion of popular in
dignation you found it convenient to
transfer him to another sphere of
scandalous activity, where his talents
might be eKerted with equal effect,
and less effrontery III -yl..
Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi
:. and Texas, not to mention anything
, so humble as myself, were obstFue-
tioDs in the way of your success be-
: cause through President Grants in
tervention in excluding the proscrip-
tive clauses from their organic laws,
these States are brought into the
Union firmly welded to his support.
Now, this is in direct conflict with
your systematized plans; for what
General Grant gets in the next cleo
Uion, clearly Mr.. Boutwell, will not
get; and therefore you have de-
nounced the Conservative Republic
cans who are for Grant, that you
= may obtain the proscriptive Repub-
, licans, who are for Boutwell,; and
by some strange, dexterous manage
? ment, and occult political strategy,
f you have so worked upon the conf
dence OF the President as to cause
, him to flourish the club with which
: l,you intend to break his head, by in'
, ducing him to join you in denuncia-
a ton of the Conservative Republicans,
