the New York Herald keeps its word
interest is an especial manner, every
citizen Of the country who concerns
himself with public affairs. For some
months every failure connected with
the whisky. prosecution was laid atstheI
door Of President Grant. 1t was allie
ged that he wasin sympathy. with the
transgressors and was placing every
obstacle n the way oftheif Conviction.
AS the President went down Mr.. Bris-
tow went up, The name ofthe great
reformer was on the tongue of every
one. He doomed up as a formidable
candidate for the Presidency, and the
Democrats attempted to anticipate
his nomination by confounding him
with lot of mules. He made an
unexpectedly poor man at Cincinnati,
and Immediately resigned. It was as
serted that there was much i'll blood
between the President and the Seore-
tary, although the grim man in the
White House was very reticent upon
that as upon other m alters Of scandal
and gossip, It was limited that re-
morse for his prosecutions of Mr..
Bristow and the South might account.
for his silence. The Democrats rely.
ing too implicitly, probably, on this
interpretation, determined to unmask
him by means of an investigation of
the whisky prosecutions, as they had
met with such Indifferent success in
other directions. Wilson, ex. Solicitor,
and Yaryan, an ex-Getectiye, were.
the instruments Of their wrath. Mr..
Wilson ran we'll for season, but his
memory was defective. While he was
seeking to give the impression that the
President was guilty, seemingly, he
made so many admissions of his (the
President's) department was so often
contradicted by other witnesses was
placed in such an awkward position
by an investigation ofhis boxes, which
were packed up to be sent away, and
his testimony was SO inconsistent with
that of his fellow reforhier Y aryang
that they we're both dismissed as
rather bad jobs. Their evidence had
no other effect than tolawaken q sus.
| picion that the President had been
designedly misrepresented, and unjust.

since, has tended to confrm this inn
preston and few days ago the
Herald promised to make startling
revelation of Mr.. Bristow's great con,
spiracy against the President in his
attempt to make him (the President)
"a stepping stone to the Presidency.

Politicians here say that had there
been the least probability ola Demo

Adams would never have received the
nomination.
Adyiees from the South all agree
that large quantities of arms are be,

interfere, there will be collision.
