When Frank Blair, during the canvass
of 1868, declared that in case of Grants
elevation to the presidential office, he
would usurp power in order to carry out
bis peculiar ideas, The Radicals met the
assertion with smile of incredulity, not
to say derision, and there were some wise
acres who went so far as TO ridicule Mr..
Blair's prophecy. But time has yindi-
Gated the warning, and Grant stands be-
fore the country to-day a convicted
usurper. An exchange rightly maintains
that the protection which Grant has ex-
tended to Dominica against Hayti is just
as fragrant usurpation of the war power
as if he had undertaken to establish pro-
tectorate over Ireland against England,
the principle not being at all affected by
the fact that Hayti is too weak to resent
the outrage. The fact that the treaty
which could alone furnish the shadow of
justification for the Presidents action
was void through rejection by the Senate
increases the enormity of the wrong.
The cool deliberation with which
Grant has utterly ignored the requirements
of the laws where they did not suit him,
and substituted his own will as being
superior to all legislation, is at once
startling and suggestive, as it is certainly
without precedent in the history of this
country. The fact that in several
instances of this kind-as in ordering the
census retaken in Philadelphia and New
York, and in the appointment of men to
offices which they were legally disquali,
fed to hold, and asking Congress to re-
peal law that came down to us from
the fathers of the republic simply because
it stood in the way of acceptance by hi:
appointee-the objects to be attained by
his extraordinary proceedings were trivia
/, in their nature, does not lessen the gravity
of the offense. That the chief execu
tive of the nation chooses 10 disregard
the law in his official acts when it con
flicts with his own inelinations can b.
but poorly excused by the plea that hi
had no strong reasons for his unlawful
course.

THE Savannah NeaCS makes a strong
point against the Radical management of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, owned
by the State of Georgia. That paper
says: ''Under Foster Blodgett's superin-
tendence of the State road il has for the
past year not only failed 10 pay a dollar
into the Treasury, but according to his
representation to the Legislature, has act
usny run in debt half million of dollars.
In his bid for the lease of the road,
Blodgett and his ring offered TO bind
themselves to pay a rental of $36, 900 per
month. He ought to know what are the
earnings of the road. If he proposed in
good faith to pay 1882, 900 per snnum
for the road, are we to infer that be and

ACCORDING TO information Just received
at the Postofice Department, it appears
that the North German Lloyd Company
has directed, for the present, that the de-
parture of their steamers, as well from
New York as from Bremen, shall take
place but once in each fourteen days,
beginning with the sailing of the Deutsch.
land on the 2Sth inst. For the present,
therefore, fortnightly mail only will be
made up for conveyance to Germany by
the Bremen steamers.

THE New York Express says: "There
is nothing in Junius, nor Burke, nor any
other writer more terribly scathing than
Judge Blacks review of Senator Will
sons defence of Stanton in the last
GALAXY. Almost every sentence falls
upon Wilson like sledge hammer upon
hot iron, and the blows are simply crush
ing" And the Express might have ad-
ded that every blow has been read by the
thinking people of the land with the ut
most satisfaction.

The Washington correspondent of I

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says Senator
Abbott is collecting documents and pre-
pairing evidence for the purpose of con-
testing the election of Senator Vance,
from North Carolina. He claims that he
received the next largest number of votes
in the Legislature and is entitled to re-
election, as Vance can not take his seat
because his disabilities have not been en-
tirely removed. The correspondent says
it is thought in Washington that Abbott
will not succeed, as it is hardly probable
the Senate will award the seat to a mi
nority candidate, but will refer the mat
ter back TO the Legislature, where, in the
event of a new election, Abbott would
undoubtedly be defeated.

In Radical Michigan they have re

control, would almost insure rec onstruc

The wife of member of Grants Cab
met has received a letter from lady
friend in Munich, in which the desOlation
in Germany is portrayed as follows:
''The draft, almost en- masse, of the
able-bodied portion of Germany for the
war has caused sad havoc at home. Hard
~ a family but has lost some member.
As many are dying from hunger, cold
and disease as from the bullet. Many
have gone insane. TIC add to the horrors,
the winter is of unusual severity. On
Christmas day the thermometer 'au, Rau-

which is about equal to II degrees below

that in most of the largest States the re-

and in the whole country, by estimating
few districts, they can be ascertained
with sufficient nearness for all political
purposes. The following table has been
