Warmoth's Opinion Of KeIlosg.
Correspondence ofCincinnati Comm ercial

Senate. In an interview to-day War
moth shoots back rather savagely. |
make q few extracts:
IN y Yes, see he says be-
trayed the Republican party in this
State. Mr.. Kellogg in strong in ad-
ljectives, and is familiar with the word
'betray. He was appointed by Lin
coin Collector of the port here. He
went over to johnson as soon as he be-
came President. He was at the cele-
brated johnson Convention at Phila-
delphia. He was on the committee
which reported the resolutions indors-
ing Johnson's policy of reconstruction,
which excluded the colored people from
voting, holding office, and civil rights.
After the act of Congress was passed by
which the President was deprived OF
the power of removing officers without
the consent OF the Senate, and he found
out that the country wanted Grant for
Johnson's successor, he betrayed john
son and supported Grant. By the use
OF his patronage OF the Custom house,
money and promises, he got himself
elected to the Senate. He betrayed
every promise and fulfilled none. He
solemnly promised to secure the ap-
pointment of four different persons to
the collectorship of this port. He be-
trayed them all, and went in for
Caseys appointment, and gave as his
VOC sona that Mrs Grant had determine
ed Casey should be appointed, and that
Grant was 80 nnder the control OF his
wife that he was obliged to make the
appointment.
"Governor, what do you think OF
him 2-as man and an officer? ?
"Ansn er-I think as an officer he is
pretender. Promises everybody any
thing and does nothing he promises 10
do. As man he is a fraud. He is
utterly false hearted. He is known
among his acquaintance as man who
can't tell the truth if he wanted, and
never wants to if he knew how. As
an illustration Of his character, l will
give YOU little incident. 1t was re>
ported that my friend, Frank Pace,
the Clerk OF the Second District Court,
had died OF cholera. He ascertalned
that it was not true, aud while the fact
was believed, he ran down 10 the Gus
tom house and offered the appointment
to Jim Casey, and four or five other
persons whom he wanted to placate.
He is sly dog, and will fool most men
for a few hours and then he becomes
perfectly transparent. -
"Question-Why was he nominated :
"Answer-Pacard brought him down
here and forced him on the party, say
ing that he could get lots Of Democratic
votes.
Itwas believed by Packard that Kel'
loge's connection with the Democratic
committee during the Garter fight, had
30 endeared him to the leaders OF that
organization, that they would flock to
his standard like flies to a dish OF mo"
lasses.
Question-What is Kelloggs posi-
ton now with the leaders OF his own
party2
Answer-He is usually condemned
as failure, a fraud, and am told that
Packard says he never was 80 much
deceived in a man in his life. Casey
saws he never iptrudes on Packard
with Il told you 3d. for Pacsrd looks
90 badly about it. The truth is, they
have found out that the load is too
heavy, and that even Kellogg, ass as he
is, can not carry it, and that his bray
ings do not frighten anybody either.
"Question-In what do you conceive
lies the strength Of Kellogg ?
Answer-The only strength Kellogg
h as arises from the fact that Pinch
back and his followers support him.
Pinchback's friends know if they can
secure the recognition ot.Kelloggs gov
ernment that Pinchback will be admit
ted to the Senate. This is his only sup
port, and when Pinchback finds out
that kellogg is infringing to have
another elected to the Senate next
winter in place of Pinchback, he Will
leave him, and then he will be alone
with the office holders.
When the election was over he offer"
ed to make combination by which he
was to be returned as Governor, Penn
as Lieutenant Governor, Ogden as At
torney General, Lusher as Superlnten-
dent OF Education, Graham as Auditor,
and Armstead as Secretary Of State, and
if would allow Heron and his collea-
CUES to make returns TO that end he
would give me satisfactory assurances
that should be sent to the United
States Senate. Let them deny this and
will prove it. Still later, after DurelI
had siezed the State House and set up
his government, he tried to sell out his
party, Antoine, Brown and others, and
to have Penn, Lusher and others put in
their places.
"Question-Whst will be the upshot
OF all this war;
"Answer-A new election under q
Federal election law. The President
must see how he made a mistake IN
rushing into our affairs so precipitately.
Even the Republicans want new deal.
The Republican party will find it nee,
sssary to wash their hands OF Durell
and kellogg. They can't stand such a
record, and Congress will be quick to
act when it meets.
Question-What do you advise the
people to do in the meantime?
"Ansyer-I advise an earnest, solemn
protest. 10 resort TO violence. No
bloodshed, except when it is in self de-
fense. A convention should be called
of the people, about December, to pro-
test against this usurpstion, and to ask
Congress to restore the people their
liberties"
