tary of War, as he hoped t. be. and no

for his native land, and he stands reaf y to-

Simon Cameron's flank movement in put
ting Dnn in his nlanP from the rotten
borough OF Pennsylvania was to save the
spoils and thus avert the threatened down
fall of the family. All the Federal offices
are filed with the creatures of this cor
rupt concern. It's power has been main
tanned solely by public patronage, by job
berry, and by plumber OF the Treasury, I'M
der all administrations that would tolerate
the connection.
When the effort to continue Don in the

, weight, the old manager was sorely grieyed.

through which he had ~supplanted Sumner.
l More than this, it was next to certain that

. his followers in office in Pennsylvania.

which the son is substituted for the father
in the Senate. Don, who purposely failed

which Grant had directed to be issued in
regard to the use of troops, and who I'M
scrupulouslv abused his power as Secretary
4 to uphold the carpet baggers and outrage
n the Southern people, will profess the ut

Hayes knows the treachery and venality O.
both father and son, and it remains to bt
tested whether he will keep the latter a
arms length and see that the back door il

The Judges of the Supreme Court, and
coterie oflawyers at Washington, who owe
Q a dood deal OF their success to favoritism,
e have urged Mr.. Bristow for the vacancy
left by Judge Davis, il the Fraudulent
President concludes to go outside of Davis
circuit. The South has no representativ
on the bench, and has had none since tn;
close of the war twelve. years ago. Ken
lucky is a border State adjoining Ohio
which has now the Chief Justice and Asso
n ciate Justice.
x Therefore, the appointment of Bristow
could hardly be considered a recognition o
the South, as in the late campaign he wa
