WORKING UP ANOTHER SENSATION.
WASHINGTON, June 4.--Extreme re-
publicans like Blaine, Butler, Wade
Phillips, Boutwell, and their followers,
who seek cause of quarrel with the ad-
ministration, find IN the instructions
of the Secretary of War to Gen. Sher-
man, concerning the maraudiDg raids
on the Rio Grande, new basis of at
tack, which they believe can be worked
up into a formidable movement. They
profess to see in this military demon
s.ration' disguised feature of Hayes's
s,f,e wiil be II the a'ifE enxatGoTsBlt & Nsjah
territory, and ultimately an increase
of representation in both houses of.
Congress. for the advantage Of the
South.
To stimulate the fears OF the North
and to excite sectional prejudice, they
assert that the earpet-baggers, who
hold the balance of power in the Sen
ate, will to revenge themselves Oa
HAYES vote for the admission of Spot
ford and Butler and by that means,
with the aid of Conover. Dorsey,
Spencer and Patterson, who are all in
the market, transfer the maj ajority from
the republicans to the democrats. OF
course the carpet-baggers would ex-
pect to be rewarded for their patrio-
| tism by reorganization of the Official
corps of the Senate and q division of
the spoils.
According to this plan of the ex
tremists New Mexico would be admit
ted into the Union Immediately, to be
followed by Arizona as soon as the
necessary population might be "coun-
ted in," and afterwards by the new
States to be acquired by the present
scheme of spoliation, as Wade and his
fellow agitators represent.it to be. This
programme has elements well calcu.
lated to rouse the old bitterness of the
abolitionists. who fought the annexs-
tion of Texas so persistently and OBJ
stinately. It is true, they cannot de-
nouuce the "retetion of slavery" but
that cry will be substituted by the
"extension of Southern power" and
as will be claimed. the practical over
| throw of the amendments Of the consti-
| tuition.

interview with the President. Thoy
