TUESDAY, JANUARY lG, 1877.

A man who has been guilty Of an improper
action is always the legitimate prey Of black
mailers, and no one has ever been plucked to a
greater extent by that class Of pluuderers than
the present occupant Of the White House.
The latest demand in this line that has been
made upon him, and to which he had to COM
ply, was for the reappointment of 0. II. Brew
ster to the position Of Surveyor General OF
Louisiana. Brewster is oue Of the Hayes cleo
tors, but knowing that he was not fairly elected,
and also that he was ineligible. he threatened
Gen. Grant with acknowledging those facts, uu'
less he reappointcd him. and his threat was
successful. Ii by such means as these the
country is to be retained in the hands Of the
radicals, then, probably, those Southern demo,
Gratis are right, who are opposed to forclblc OPP
position to the fraud now in progress, upon the
ground that such country is not worth fight
ing for.

Though there can be no certainty that Presl-
dent Grant will not repeat in this State what
he has just done in Louisiana, up to this time
the Hampton-the neutrality-suspicious. is
running smoothly enough, and if allowed to
do SO will soon have quiet, peaceful aud salts

lumbla correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
under date OF last night, says:
"Great efforts have been made during the
last week to get up demonstration OF rcpub

facts relating to the William Patterson, the

statements upon which it appears any reliance

sailed for Europe, and that DR.. Phelps, his
surgeon, who was committed Tor refusing to
testify, has been discharged. Whether MIR.

The PoLITICAL CONFLICT IN AMERICA. BY
Alexander Harris. r.. H. Pollock, Publisher,
New York.
This is q review Of the political affairs Of this
country from the commencement Of the anti
slavery agitation TO the close Of Southern recon-
struction, containing resume CT the career OF
Thaddeus Stevens, and an instructive and inter-
esting history of that organization, which, COM
meEcing in 1910, with Birney as its Presidential
candidate, and under tho name Of tho Liberty
party, has gone through tho successive changes OF
Freesoilism and Republicanism, and having al
ready produced one disastrous sectional war
and sapped the foundations OF republican lnstl-
tutions, is now, in tho plumsgo of fu!l-1edged
radicalism, and under the leadership of It's pc
cular representative, engaged in desperate Of.
fort to continue its hold upon tho money and
power ofthe country, even At the risk of anarchy
or civil WAT. The events imm edatey preceding
and leading directly to the existing deplorablo
condition Of the country's affairs have followed
each other so rapidly that many, oven CT the
most important ones, have been forgotten, but
the review of Mr. Harris recalls them wildly
and portrays them distinctly from the first en-
croachments upon that only safeguard Of 3 con-
stitut;onal conlodorscy-Ststo rights-unti! lis
complete abolition. 1t is book particularly
applicable to the times and when one reads in
it of the dread with which Presidents in tho
happy days Of the republic regarded tho slight
est interference with the affairs Of the States, and
then thinks of the nonchalance with which
Gen. Grant drives the Legislature Of ono State
out Of ITS capitol at the point Of the bsyonet, and
makes the corporal of guard the judge Of the
legality Of the election certificates Of legisla-
tors in another he can hardly realize that such
great changes have been wrought in so short a
period

that from the partisan character of the radicals
On the several Congressional committees ap-
pointed to determine the true result OF the
election 10 the disputed States they can not

they sec it, and that so far from their invest-

they could have prepared the reports they are

the committees put the country been saved.
The Senate committee was appointed for the
