Gen. Frank Blair the Democratic
candidate for Vice President IN 1868,
was cl, stcd United States senator on
Tuesday last by the Legislature Of
Missouri, 10 fll the place vacated by
Drake, recently appointed judge OF
the court of claims by the President
Two years ago Frank was dislran.
chised by the Radicals Of Missouri
What n sore rebukc this must be TO
them Democrats all over the country
owe President Grant lasting debt OF
gratitude for thus providing way for
such u live Democrat TO reach the
Senate. Gen. Blair is at present n
member Of the State Legislature, and
to show what manner of man he is
we quote the following extract from a
speech which he delivered n few days
ago;
"Sir, my letter which has been re
ferred to contends that the military
should be made to undo their usurpa-
tions at the South say so still, and
you have only TO withdraw them from
the South and their work is undonc.
lApplauso.l That carrion crow OF
carpet -baggcrs, who arc gorgcd upon
the plumber and drunk with The blood
of the vanquishcd people ofthe South,
will disperso themselves in an instant
if not sustained 10y the hayonets Of the
Federal Government. There is no
item in that letter that ! take back,
stand by il. believe in the con.
struction given to the Constitution OF
tho United States by the Supreme
Court, that this reconstruction was
unconstitutional. My hope in going
TO Congress, if ! should attain that
high position, is that may aid in with
drawing the troops from the Southern
States, which arc held there TO saddle
upon the backs Of the people a parcel
of carpet baggers and scallawags, fol
lowed by an ignorant mass Of negroes.
And If the people Of tho South, who
have shown disposition to abide in
good faith by the arbitrament ofarms,
renew their allegiance to the Govern
ment, they will be allowed TO resume
self lfgovernmont among themselves, as
we have done in Missouri Whilst !
may not expect to carry with me the
gentleman from ST. Louis, | believe
that we can surely and certainly count
upon the cooperation of the large body
OF liberel men who assisted US in re.
lieving ourselves from a similar tyran.
ny in the State of Missouri"

Grants .frmv secretaries.

Section Is Of the Army act, approx
ed the 10th of July last, reads as fol.
lows:
at shall not be lawful for any Off
Ger of the United States, on the ac-
tive list, to hold any civil Office, ,wbeth-
er by election or appointment; and
any such officer accepting or excrcis-
ing.the functions Of civil office shall
at once cease to be an officer Of the
army, and his commission shall be va.
Gated thereby"
Notwithstanding this positive pro.
hibilion, /. is well known fact, that
Mr.. Grant keeps three Brigadier
Generals in his employ. In the Con.
grcssional Directory for this year, the
names of Gen. f. T Dent, Gen lIor.
acc Porter and Gen. o. f. Babcock
are Published us Secretaries of the
President, Each Of those officers are
"on the active list Of the army of the
United States, yet each is"excrcising
the functions OF n civil Office. Why
have the provisions of the law not been
enforced Z Why have not the army
commissions of that shoulder-slrapped
trio been vacated" ?"
A young man, named Douglas was
appointed Private Secretary TO Prcsi.
dent. Thus far his duties have been
performed by three Brigadiers, While
Congress is considering the "outrages,
alleged to have been committed in
the South, let them bestow attention
upon the 'outrages' committed by the
occupant of the White House. Mr.
Grant took solemn oath TO execute
the laws of Congress. Who will say
that he has fulfilled his obligation
And who of the Radical sticklers for
a strict observance of duty will call
his chief to account for such glarlng
violation Of a newly coined statute
If those starred mcn are not needed
in the army, they should be retired.
Mr.. Grant should not be permitted to
surround himself with ornamental
pets, at the expense of the nation

ANOTHER REBUKE TO GRANr-A RE
PUBLICAN LEGISLATURE ELLcTs AN
NTf.ADMiNIsrRATIoN UNITED STATES
SENATOR.
by Telegraph 70 As Pit.Iasgi rof
CHICAGO, January ia special to
the Tribune, from Lincoln, Nebraska,
dated yesterday, says that upon the
assembling of the Convention of the
two houses ofthe Legislature, at noon,
ballot was Immediately taken for
United States Senator The ballot
stood as follows; p. W. Hitchcock,
2S; Thayer, II Sanders, o; scatter
ing, 2. A second ballot was taken
amid great excitement. Several nom,
bcrs who supported Sanders changed
TO Hitchcock, and two OF Hitchcock s
friends did the same, which gave
Hitchcock thirty votes. and he was
declared elected United States Scna.
tor for six years, from the 4th Of
March.
The result is claimed as a Demo.
cratic victory, the Democratic mem.
bers having united on Ilitchcook's s
side in caucus, the night previous, as
the anti administration candidate
The entire Democratic vote and the
votes of the Republicans elected on
the Independent and boiling tickets,
were given to Hitchcock.
The result creates great surprise, as
the Republicans had sufficient strength
IL united to elect their man, but they
were so badly split that no caucus can.
didale could be agreed upon.

The "winter climate Of tbs South"
is doubtless very good, but how about

Kelly, been constantly crying out that
the lives of Northern men were not
safe in GeorgiaY Does not the fact OF
Cameron and Forney's large invest
mcnts in the State, and their frequent
visits here, give the lie direct to the
charge that there is neither protec.
tion to the person or property OF
Northern men in Georgia. One of the
most offensive men in the North, both
personally and politically, to the pco.
pie Of the South is this man Cameron.
He is party 10 one of the grandcst
swindles ever perpctrated upon an
