The Cincinnati Commercial, disgusted
with the mode of appointment preva
lent under the GRANT administration,
discusses at length "Anothtr Case OF
Brother-ln- Law" GRANT is the object
i've point of the article; the illustration
is furnished by the case of Mr.. A. H.
BOWMAN, just appointed to Kentucky
Collectorship, who turns out to be a
brother-in-lsw of BELKNAP, the War
Secretary discovered by GRANT in the
State of Iowa. BowMAN's opponent
was certain Colonel HODGES, an orig
inal Union man, and now an ardent
Republican, a man who, it seems, rem
dered the party and tie country dis
tinguished service, and in so doing lost
his health and property. Although
bearing the strongest possible recon-.
mendatiens, he had been defeated for
Federal office twice before through the
intrigues of the politicians. Ga his
third application, with all his claims,
backing and popularity, lie was laid out
by this man BOWMAN, all of whose
qualifications rested en- the brother in
law basis. Whersupon the Commercial
OVERT 1ws in a column and half of sar
castle criticism upon GRANT, concluding
thus:
There is no Union mal in Kentucky
who has been of greater service than
Colonel Hodges. lie has fought long
and hard battle, and made sacrifices
that give him the highest esteem Of al
true men who know him. If any one
has claims upon the Republican party
or the President, he has. Mr.. Bowman
would never have been dreamed of for
the Office he has received if he had not
been the brother.in law of Il Cabinet
officer. He owns blue grass farm OF
between four aud five hundred acres,
and lives in fine house. He was of the
mild type of Union men during the
war, and voted for Grant for Presi-
dert, but he voted for John w. Steven
son for Governor, and for Beck, Demo.
crat, for Congress. Still, as he voted
for Grant, he is in his own county called
a Republican. This bluegrass woods
pasture appointment one of the clearest
cases vet of brother-in-law upon the
brain of the Administration, was de.
nounced in Washington by leading Re-
publicans as shameful. Ths Democrats
of Kentucky laugh at it as good joke,
and Republicans are humiliated by this
last and crowning outrag'. They were
disgusted long ago.

NEW YORK.
The Young Democrncy-The Two
Tammany Hall Parties.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The Andrew
Jackson Club House on Lexington
avenue, New York, which is the head
quarters of the Young Democracy, was
last night crowded with the friends and
followers of Sheriff O'Brien, who dis
cussed with great interest of the past
three years at Albany. A large number
of the most active members of the party
were present, and council was held to
consider what course of action should
be decided upon.
An important statement was made to
the effect that paper had been signed
by 220 members of the Tammany
Hall general committee calli1g upon
VIM. NJ. Tweed to issue an official notice
for holding o meeting of the committee
next Monday in order to take a show
of the hands as to the relative strength
of tho two parties, in Tammany Hall.
As the signers of this paper constitute
two.thirds ofthe whole number of MEM
bers, il is not believed that Tweed will
refuse to issue . cal for a meeting.
Should he, however, refuse, it is under
stood that by the constitution of the
committee twenty-five members can
order meeting to be held.
n The World say that the object of the
meetingof the committee on Monday is
TO denounce the usurpations and the
improper conduct of Messrs. Tweed,
Sweeny & Co., and it is also stated ex-
pressly that the young Democracy do
not intend to omit paying their re-
spects to the Mayor, A. Oakley Hall, who
they believe has had a large share in
the Vaccinations of his associates of
the ring.

Foreman Relent;ess.

The country will be horrified to learn
that President GRANT and Senator BORE.
MAN have joined issue en- the question
of general amnesty. In an interview
held between these eminent parties .ou
Wednesday, at which Senator JOHNSON
of Virginia was present, GRANT "stated
he had already prepared a special mes.
sage to Congress, ia which he recon-
mended the passage Of law granting
universal amnesty to all lately in re.
bellion. He stated he was in favor oi
granting amnesty to al and every one
who desired it, and that all they would
have to do would be to make record
of the same at the nearest court, &c
Senator FOREMAN said he was in favor OF
general amnesty. with but few excep.
tions, and those he would Fever consent
so far es he wss concerned, to being
given the franchise privilege. The
President replied that he did not desire
to make any exceptions, and his mes
sage would SO recommend nothing but
universal amnesty. He said, further,
that after Georgia and Texas are admit
ted he would send in the message
alluded 10. Senator JOHNSON said he
was sure it wepld do moro to heal all
differences in regard to the late war
than any act that could be DONE"
From this we may gather sort OF sam
pie of BoREMAN's style. He favoIs am
nesty with exceptions, because an ire
sistibie public sentiment demands "let-
up" and he cannot help himself. Bat the
relief he would extend to rebels not of
the NAT HARRISON type would be so
Slight as not to be worth considering.
He is an eternal hatsr and relentless
prosecutor. Take from him his hates
and his power of hating, and you take
away all that gives vitality to the man.
His favorite notion that "GoD may
forgive these rebels but he wont" "
shows the FOREMAN thirst for ven
geauce, as well as the FOREMAN opinion
of the FOREMAN greatness.

John L. Zeigler, of Catlettsburg,

deemed either Democratic or

a stronger reason for first, class Dem
