Senate and confirmed by that body, Porter
will gain permanent possession of tho highest
of naval positions But alas for the vanity
of human ambition At this critical juno
ture old Grandfather welles is cruel enough
to.send to the mschievous New York World
letter written by Porter, dated January 21,
1865, shortly after the capture of Fort
Fisher, which contains sundry
ill-natured complaints of the conduct of
Grant. 1t gives full vent to the spirit of
jealousy cherished by portion of the navy
against the army. 1t alleges that Grant ''is
always willing to take the credit when any
thing is done :" that he did not properly ac-
knowledge the assistance rendered by the
navy in capturing yicksburg; that she wants
magnanimity," and 'is so avarcious, as
regards fame, that he will never, if he can
help it, do justice" to the Navy Department;
that he had acted unhandsomely in connection
with the Fort Fisher affair by suffering Butler
to have anything to do with it; that his course
proves that he would sacrifice his best friend
rather" than let any odium
fall on Lieutenant General Grant" aud that
he will take the credit for the final capture of
Fort Fisher, "when he deserves all the
blame for the fist failure to take the place. ;"
When this letter first appeared it was an
nounced by the publication of series of
extracts from Porter's private diary, which
were produced to prove that Porter thought
Grant and Sherman not only great generals,
but very good men, etc. This, however,
does not seem to have been sufficient, and
the Admiral now acknowledges, over
his own hand, the genuinsness
of the letter to Welles, and
explains it by the assertion that at the time
it was written his mind and body were ha-
rassed by extraordinary fatigue, and that he
has since entirely forgotten that he had ever
given utterance to such petulant sentiments.
The necessity of this explanation is mani
tasted by the statement it contains, that
Grant was so unfavorably impressed by the
Worlds publication as to declare that it made
him lose faith in human nature
and we can scarcely wonder that
it lowered the Presidential faith
in candidates for first-class naval honors 1t
remains to be seen what will be the upshot
of the Worlds disclosures but it would not
be surprising if it should lead either to Por-
ter's rejection by the Senate, or to an aboli-
tion of the grade of Admiral in the navy, or
to both, and Porter stands a fair chance of
losing by the maladroit labors of his pen the
honors he had so nearly secured by the
achievements of his sword.

SOUTH CAROLINA FRAUDS.

Hon. @. @. BOWEN Republican nj. G. from
the Charleston district, South Carolina, and
the regular Republican candidate at the late
elections, has furnished the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tribune a sorry
picture of, carpet-bag management of cleo
lions. sMr. Bowen was opposed by De Zarge,
colored irregular candidate, who has been
returned as elected by some 600 majority,
and Mr.. Bowen will contest the seat. His
report of the ballot-stuffing by the election
officers, if approaching the truth, shows that
South Carolina is given over as prey to
anarchy, and needs rather moro regeneration
and watching than New York city or Norfolk.
The following is Mr.. Bowen's statement as
given in the Tribune
''He says that the worst election frauds in New
York are not TO be compared with those perpetrated
In every part OF South Carolina. The State election
law. which was enacted last March, affords every
facility to dishonest managers and supervisors OF
to appoint In each county supervisor of elections,
who in turn appoints three managers in each cleo
ton precinct. After the polls are closed, the mana
gers allowed to have the custody OF the ballot
boxes for three days, at the end of which time they
must make return. In many cases in South Caro-
lima the managers OF election were candidates for
the Legislature or for county Offlces, and could.
therefore, during the three days that the ballots
were in their possession x them to suit themselves.
Mr. Bowen says that he can prove that in many pre-
cncts the ballots cast oy the people were taken from
the boxes 10y the managers, and others substituted
for them before the count was made, and that when
! 1t was found that even then their opponents would
not be defeated, they scratched the names OF the
latter from the ballots in other districts, and substi-
tuted those OF their own candidates. The only place
