A letter from Greenvlle, S. c., announces
that 80 of the illicit dstllers recently captured
in South Carolina were taken to Charleston on

A Cheyenne letter says the campaign of
Gen. Crock against the indians was without
the results that should have occurred because
Gen. Reynolds failed to retain the 800 or 1000

guilty of dsobedience of orders in not secur-
ing the beef and meat which were in the Indian

ThurIew Weed on the Presidency.

Thurlow Weed, the veteran journalist, has
written letter to the Albany Journal on the
Presidential canvass in which he says:
President Grants cabinet, as a whole, was
not wisely chosen; and when vacancies occurred,
bis original mistakes were not corrected. The
late Vice President Wilson appealed often and
earnestly to the President in favor of elevating
and Strengthening his administration by asso-
ciating with Gov. Fish. cabinet ministers of
large experience, recognized talent and pro-
nouneed integrity. But al such appeals were
disregarded. The financial department of the
government through a crisis requiring the ex.
ercise of the highest intelligence and the most
infexible integrity, was placed in the hands of
an utterly incompetent man. Nor while evil
dences of Mr.. Richardson's incapacity were
manifest and multiplied would Gen. Grant
listen, until for this and other obstinate re-
fusals to regard the popular will, his eyes were
opened by the disastrous defeats sustained by
the Republican party in 1874. But even that
ominous lesson failed to awaken the President
to just and full sense of his high RESPONSE
bility. Other and equally vital reforms were
demanded and refused. Early in the first
years of General Grants administration Gov
ernor Cox, of Ohio, retired from the Interior
department. for some reason unknown to the
people. Nothing was then or has been since
alleged against him. His successor, Mr.. De-
lano, came into office with good character
and clean record; both of which, how
ever, were soon lost, But as in the case
of Mr.. Richardson, the President refused
to listen to the numerous and damaging ac-
cusations against Mr.. Delano. For manv
months after that gentleman felt constrained
to tender his resignation, the President per-
yersely rsfused or neglected to accept it, and
only yielded to an indignant popular demand,
seconded by the other members of his cabinet
/ do not care to dwell upon recent and still
more startling official delinquencies.
There is little or no compensation in the cir
cumstance that our fallen Secretary of War
found discreditable examples for his miscon-
duct, in the wholesale traffic in our offices by
the English Ministers of War in the reigns of
the Georges. These delinquencies constitute,
IN tne aggregate, burthen under the weight
OF Wnich no administration can stand. Hap
PLY, however, the Republican party is stronger
than its administration. But it must not en-
cumber itself with the oboquy that attaches to
official misconduct. 1t cannot afford TO defend
or excuse the errors of the President or the
frauds of his appointees.
see no reason, if our ablest and hest man
should be nominated for Presldent and Vica-
President, to doubt the success of the RanuhIi-
can ticket in the approaching election. [ rely
es confidently upon the inherent weakness Of
the Democracy as upon the inherent strength
Of our own party.
