FinIey's Agency for Mr.i Tilden Explicitly
Denied by ram s. Hewitt-His Ser
vices in the Campaign of 1876.
WASHINGTON. April Oh. 81. Finley re-
ceived to-day the following letter from
Abram s. Hewitt in reference to the formers
difficulty with Mr.. Springer:
NEW YORK, April 8.-To d. II. Finley-My
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 9th inst. is re-
ceived. very much regret that this difficulty
with Mr.. Springer has occurred. The effect of
these everlasting quarrels between Democrats
is to destroy the confidence of the public in
the capacity of the Democratic party for self
government. 1 had already written Mr.
Springer that you had never claimed to repre-
sent Mr. Tilden and that you had written me a
letter which plainly showed that your relations
with him did not enable you to get his views,
and have sent him a copy of your letter SO
that there will be no excuse hereafter for charg-
ing you with being the representative of Mr..
Tilden. if you DESIRE will cheerfully bear
testimony to the fact that you served the ma
tional committee well and faithfully in 1876,
that your relations were of the most confiden-
tial character, that yoH never abused the conf
dence which was reposed in you, and that what
money you expended was fully accounted for
and with scrupulous fidelity. Yours truly.
(Signed) ADRIAN 8. HEWITT.

Western Railroad Extensions.

The Sioux City Journal of Thursday says
'The lum Der for the graders shanties was I'M
loaded at Jackson, from which the inference is
drawn that the Pigeon creek route will be
adopted for the Omaha lines
The same paper says: 'The last of the ma
terial for the extension of forty miles west
from Sioux Falls has arrived at that town, and
the graders have gone into camp all along the
line. The second bridge over the Sioux near
the town is we'll under way
Also: cit becomes more apparent daily that
neither the Milwaukee nor the Northwestern
will push their Black Hills lines much until
right of way through the reservation west of
the Missouri ID fixed"
The Sioux City report is repeated that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul company has
let to Langdon & Co. the contract for extend
ing It's Hastings & Dakato line, but with an
amendment that, instead of the contract taking
the line to the Northern Pacific at or near Far
go, it will take it to the Jim river about seven
ty miles south of the Northern Pacific, and
that the ultimate terminus will be Bismarck
Even the amended report is probably prema-
ture. The company, has not yet, we believe,
secured the privilege of crossing the Sisseton
reservation, which lies directly in the way of
any extension of the Hastings & Dakota road.
As to the ultimate terminus of the line, the
developments of the country and its trade in
the time which will be required for building
the road, may result in material changes of
present plans.

GLADSTONE,S POLICY.

It seems to be considered q matter of
course in Great Britain that Mr.. Gladstone
will assume the authority that Lord Beacons-
field will shortly resign. It has been the
custom in the past to place the principal OPP
ponent under new dispensation. It will
not be departed from on the present occa-
sion unless it should happen that Mr.. Glad
stone should peremptorily decline the honor
to which he is fairly entitled.
Mr.. Gladstone's policy is the antipodes of
that of Beaconsfeld. During his admins
tration of affairs the government paid but
little attention to the affairs of other ma
tions, but confined itself to domestic con-
GERMS 1t cannot be claimed for Mr.. Glad
stone that he accomplished great results, for
aside from the disestablishment of the Eng
Iish church in Ireland, he cannot point to an
incident of his career that entities him to
the gratitude of the people of Great Britain.
Mr.. Gladstone abhors war; the people crave
it when it gives promise of the extension OF
the domain of the empire. Mr.. Gladstone
favors arbitration in the settlement of inter
national disputes; the people generally would
sooner fight than surrender an advantage
once obtained.
For the reasons stated we do not antici-
pate long continuance of the administers
ton of the liberal party. The English ma
ton will cease to exist when it ceases to be
aggressive. That theory has been the main.
spring of action of the nation for centuries,
and cannot be abandoned at this or sny
future time without jeopardizing the exist
ence of the party that espouses such prin-
ciple.
For brief period Mr.. Gladstone's gov
ernmeut will please the British people. They
need relaxation after five or six years of con-
tinual turmoil, and q brief season of rest
will be thankfully hailed. But this feeling
will be only temporary. The aggressive
spirit is sure to regain its hold upon the
people, and when it does so the liberal min
lstry may as well say its prayers, for it will
be compelled to step down and out. No
peace party, no party that prefers to refer
disputes to arbitration rather than to the
cannon can hope to maintain ascendancy In
Great Britain for any length of time.

PRESIDENTIAL COMPLICATIONS.

The conventions that are to select candi-
dates for the Presidency for both parties are
not very remote, but sufficiently so to permit
of some important notifications in the ap-
parent strength of the different aspirants for
the honor of standing as the targets of all
the mud-slingers of the country. New COM
plications are arising almost daily which are
apt to affect the standing of all the candi-
dates. Mr.. Tilden has authorized denial of
the statement that he intends to withdraw
from the field, yet his injudicious- and in
some instances dishonest friends seem to
be encompassing him with such trouble as
will in the end compel such step on his
part. Instead of increasing in popularity he
seems to be becoming more and more obnox-
ious to his party, and If nominated at all, it
will be only after desperate struggle, from
which his opponents will emerge with bitter
ness towards him.
Grant occupies nearly the same relative
position as Tilden. He is opposed by large
element of his own party, and in the event
of his nomination he could not hope to call
out or to command the full Republican
strength. His blowers and strikers assert
that all this opposition would disappear after
the nomination, but those who have careful
ly watched the current of popular sentiment
know that this will not be the case. The
opposition will increase rather than dimin-
ish, though it will not, as some predict,
take the form of the nomination of an indie
pendent candidate. Several well informed
Republican journals at the East assert that
Grant will withdraw from the canvass at an
opportane moment, but his antecedents are
not of the character to inspire confidence in
the statement.
But new danger threatens the Grant
movement. 1t appears from Washington

The Malicious Assault on Judge Flint.
To the Editor of the Globe.
am we'll assured that every fair-minded
man, and certainly every lawyer who has
practiced in the municipal court of this city,
was astonished and indignant at the low, con-
temptible attack upon Judge s. M. Flint in
the Pioneer Press of yesterday. Thatne
paper and its editors have long since lost all
sense of decency, but it has hitherto been
the general opinion that fear of public
scorn and wrath would protect an able, i'm
partial and learned magistrate from the ma
ignant SANDER which that vile sheet is &C.
customed to dispense almost daily to its dis
gusted readers.
Whatever faults the judge who was on
yesterday so brutally assailed may have are
utterly insignificant, and are even entirely
obscured by the integrity, ability and high
sense of Justice which have marked his Off
cial history.
This comment upon the article referred
to is not intended to admit that the SANDER
deserves reply but to prevent any misap-
prehension regarding the sentiment to-
wards Judge Flint which prevails among all
who obey the dictates of JUSTICE.
