The Diplomatic Relation of the Pres
ident tn Guatemala.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Tribune
shows bow wretched is the official and per-
| sonal character of Silas Hudson, United
States Minister to Guatemala, and cousin
of President Grant. 1t says: "The Com
mittee on Foreign Relations reported
against him, but were overborne By the
Grant ring of time serving Senators, and
Silas Hudson was confirmed. The per-
fornance would have been an indecent one
if Hudson had been good man, but it
was made infinitely worse by the character
of this importunate cousin. He was abso-
! lutely illiterate. He knew no language, not
even the English. He was lewd, filthy
and Incorporate. He had been a tinker
Ii Iowa, but his personal habits were too
| bad to allow him to make living at his
trade. He was a relative, mserably poor
and incapable of earning his own living.
These appeals always touch the Presidents
heart SO strongly that he can not keep his
hand out of the Treasury. He is truly
charitable man. He never sees relative
in distress without making the country take
care of him. He made this squalid loafer
Minister to Guatemala, and sent him down
10 Central America, where we have so
many aud such delicate relations to guard.
This dissolute hummer whom Gen. Grant
would not have trusted as a stable boy in |
his own service, received, by way of econ
Omical aims, 3 mission requiring more judg-
ment, more discretion, more business
capacity than the missions to st. Peters
burg and Vienna. His life there is precise
" what might have been expected from
his anJecedentS.
eve have received letter from an Amer
lean resident in Guatemala recounting the
history of his shameless depravity, which
cannot be printed in these columns. He is
a by-wOld and a reproach. His personal
habits, says our correspondent, are so nolO-
riously depraved and bis manner of living
so odious to all classes, that his society is
universally Stunned, not only in diplomat
ic circles, but in every respectable house
hold"

The Herald, reviewing the reports from
various counties of this State, Gays the Lib
erals are many and the Bourbon Demo
Gratis few, and that the Republicans who
count on carrying New Y FORK for Grant and
