JUDGE Blacks LETTER.-AmongSt the
ablest and most efficient political papers of the
dav, vet published, is letter from Judge
Black of Pennsylvania. He always writes with
yigor and judgment, and this production is
eminently characteristic. We content oursel-
YES, day with the following synopsis OF the
letter taken from the Baltimore Gazette re-
serving for another OCCASION, extracts from the
letter itself:
He denounces the leading measures of the
Grant Administration as mot only unconstitu
tional, but Unconstitutional. and character
lied by settled hostility to the rights of the
States and the liberties Of the people. tie
arraigus Gen G. for his scaudalous official APP
pointments, and the outrage done to public
morality by his general exercise of public au
thority under the influence CT men who paid
him large sums of money He aludes to the
tanners of the President, and with his direct
aid and assistance, aud he expresses the con-
viction that mo other government now In the
world is administered so entire Y for personal
and partisan purposes, or IN such complete
disregard for the rights and interests OF the gen

Of rings Instead Of being content with his
salary, he accepted the bounty of the rings,
fell over to them, and took the Government
into his hands as Black Republican job. y
OF Mr.. Greeley Judge Black speaks kindly,
but Justly He does not pretend that Mr..
Greeley's political life has been very symme-
trical. We are reminded that Mr.. Greeley
was an Aboitionlst, and that some of his as
sociations had naturally debasing tendency,
but Judge Black gives his reasons for believing
that Mr. Greeley was better than those with
whom he was affiliated that he never ap-
proved Of their worst iniquities; that by his
opposition to them he often provoked their cX-
tremest rage that when the war closed he was
the advocate of regular and legal as we'll as
honest government for all parts of the country,
and that when he could not stop the devil 5
dance of the Radical party, she left it and
denounced it with becoming Indignation. y
