Badeau's Treachery to Grant.

In his unfortunate controversy with
the Grant family Gen. Badeau gets no
sympathy from his acquaintance in
Washington. People here know him too
well and are aware that he has never
done anything to distinguish himsefbut
toady to the family he now abuses be.
cause they have finally cast him off
Badeau never was any thing but clerk
at Grants headquarters during the war,
although through the generals influence
| he got the rank and emoluments of
| brigadier general. After the war was
over and Grant was elected president
he appointed Badeau to the exceedingly
lucrative Office of consul general to Lon
| don, where he remained for twelve
years and drew salary of from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. 1t was Badeau who
caused the rupture between Grant and
Garfield after the latter was installed in
the white house. Grant always had the
kindest feeling for Garfield, and it will
be remembered that it was he who re-
conciled Conkling and Cameron and
brought about the celebrated treaty of
Mentor. Garfield felt the obligation he
owed to Grant, but did not suppose that
the removal of Badeau, who had been in
office through three presidential terms,
would result as it did. Badeau was
asked to resign, but refused to do so, and
fell back upon his relations with Grant,
begging Garfield to retain him in office
| biography of the general, which he
claimed then to be writing.
But in shifting the officials at New
York Garfield had promised the consul
generals place to Merritt and nominated
him. Badeau came to Washington and
tried to defeat the latter's confirmation.
Grant at this time was on his tour
around the world, and upon represen-
tations to him by Badeau wrote the let
ter which ended his relations with Gar
field. When Arthur came in Badeau
demanded that he be restored to the
consul generalship at London, and got
letter fIom Grant asking it as a favor to
himself, but Arthur felt that it was his
duty to retain in Office all the appointees
of Garfield and refused to remove Mer
ritt, although the latter was his personal
and political enemy. He, however,
gave Badeau the consul.generalship at
Havana, which the latter accepted and
for three years drew salary of $1,000 a
year While holding this office he wrote
a scurrilons book, entitled Conspiracy
in which President Arthur, Secretary
Frelinghuyscn, Assistant Secretary Davis
and others of Arthur's intimates were
characters, disguised only by sligh,
paraphrases upon their names.-e 1t was
an objectionable violation of officia
etiquette, to say the least, and caused
great indignation among the friends 0
Frelinghussen because of the insulting
manner in which the namesofthe ladie.
of that family were used. Presiden
Arthur died without knowing who wrote
the book, and he never suspected tina
Badeau could be guilty of such infamou
treachery. The latter forfeited what
ever ch aracter he had in this communit,
, by that transaction. During the las
, few weeks he has taken rooms here ant
, has tried unsuccessfully to get into tn
clubs.-Wash. Cor. News.

Frankfort. KY, March Ex-Governor
Bnckner this morning suspended Trea.
surer of State James W. Tate. Tate is
charged with defalcations in his office,
aud is said to have fled the state. The
defaulting official has been treausrer
twenty-one years. 1t is thought Tate's
shortage will amount to between $4,000
and $l50,0O0.
The investigation which was immedi-
ately instituted on the recommendation
of Gov. Buckner, disclosed before noon a
deficit in Tate's Office of Sl5O,OOO.
THE DISCOVERY OF -nE DEFALcArIoN
is the result of an examination of Tate's
books commenced some days ago by an
expert accountant. Tate's bonds was for
$SOO,0O0 and is well covered. He was
in Louisville Saturday night, when he
was observed to be drinking hard, an
unusal thing for him. Since that time
he has not been seen, and his where
abouts are unknown. Tate was elected
state treasurer in 1867, having been
nominated ny the democrats. He has
been reelected unanimously at each
election since, thus making his tenure O
office twenty years on August 81 last In
the last democratic campaign Tate hat
no opposition for nomination. Every
body laughed at the idea of opposing
honest old Dick Tate. lie received thu

Misguided Sympathy.

In view of the heavy losses on the
range during the winter of 'SG-7, from
which our cattlenen have not vet fully
recovered and the continued low price
of cattle, which makes the business any
thing but profitable as it was, the averag-
ed cattleman will peruse the following
bit of eastern sentimentality and per-
haps he'll swear:
The editor of Our Dumb Animals this
month sends out a supplement telling of
the terrible neglect shown to cattle on
the western plains. He says: Before
this terrible ranch business. which COW
ers our western prairies with the decay
ing bodies and bleaching bones of hun
| dredsofthousands of cattle was ever heard
of, the country was bountifully supplied
with meat. If ranches were abolished
farmers all over the country would raise
care for, and properly protect dunl
animals as before"
