Mr. DP. waa appointed br tho Committees of Arbitration recettly in session in Now York to nee thatthe decision or compromine sottled upou by that Commitice ta faithfully car- riod out. Of course, the subject of most interest to Mr. Pholps at this moment fa the duty which ho {a now on his way to discharge. te gavo quite s hiatory of the maunor in which tho orlginal investigation was conducted by himeolf and Mosars. Foster and Potter at Now Orleang, and then branched off upon the subsequent in- vestigation by Muar's Committeo: but thess toattera arc not of any present interest. Ho waa a Ropublican of tho straightost sect, og the Lonorablo traditions of bis party went, but in this matter he did not hesitate to nny that tho orrore, to wap no harrbor term, of tho present Administration wero at tho bottom af all these troubles, Mr. Phelps thon guvo an Becount of the modus oporandi of the srbitra- tion, ‘ From this point Mr.-Phelps proceeded to a discussion of uational politica. Mo enid tue Ho- ublican party was now squarely divided within itself, a that from this timo until the National Convention noxt year the contest bottween tho Grant, or Radical, aud the Blaine, or Conserva- Utve, factions would be unremitting. Hoe readily admitted that Grant was in the fold either for a reuomination or for the rower To DICTATE THR NOMINATION of his succousor, Mo did not boliove that Grant would be able to force hia own nomination, aud thought ho would give up allidea of belug a candidate bofore tho lime of halding the Con- vention erriyed, Dut be believed that Grant would try, novertheless, to make tus juflueuce paramount in tho Convention, aud thereby to force tho nomination of Conkling as his first chojcs after himeelf, Mr. Phelps said he was fully aware of the power the office-holders would have toward forming the Republican National Convention in 1976, Ue was not inclued to underrate the forca of the maohinery which wos embodied in tho present onormous system of Federal patron. ago. But he believed that botwoon this time and 1876 o feeling would be aetirred up among the Kopublican niassey which would overwhelm tha ofico-holdere and dofeat thelr pluus for packing tho Convention with the creatures of the Au- ministration, The Couservative Republicans might now bo aid to form o party. Alt thoy Jacked was formal orgauization. Thoy were rep- regontod in the Senate to the extont of nine ur ton in number, and a vastly greator proportion than that of intelligence and personal iniluonce, They would be fount to bo LARGELY IN THE ABCENDANT in the Republican minority in the next House. Mr. Diaino would bo their natural leader. It way true that Blaine had not filed the mossure of his opportunity whon the Furco bill was uodor discussion in the House, but his failure to take e docided stand, or at lenat his failure to take strong ground against the moasuro in o specch, waa ex;.licable upon grounds that left no impu- tation upon his sincerity of purpose or bin cour age of conviction, The fight over the I’orce bill was carried on by the rag-tag-aud-bobtail, Mr, Blain. strongly desired to go on the record against the measure, but he eaw no opportunity to do Ko without descending into the muck and mire of a coutost with Butler and his unsavory ad- horants, and aa the Bpeaker contented himealt with employing hia personal iufluonco agatust the billion a quict way, Mr, Pholps dic not pro- sume that Mr. Blaine could have actually accom- pllehod by a speech on tho floor any moro than he ald by the courso ho olected of quiet persoual opposition, Tho mou who voted for the Force Lill would not have boon deterred fram doing #o by aspocch from Blaine. And those who voted against it were certuiu to do so whotber be made a speech or not, ‘hose who voted for tho bill wero mostly mon ou the polnt of retiracy trom pubhe life. Thero waa SCHOYLELD, OF PENNSYLVANIA, for instance, At heart Scholicld was opposed to any more repreasivo or sectional leglalation.

Under such circumstances men ura very apt to look out for No. 1 and let tho country lock out foritsolf, And with KUCH A MAN GANT In tho White House, this looking out for No, Lis amsattor that doos not admit of any gront dis- play of personal independence. Aecurring to the aubject of the division in the Republican party, and in reply to a question as to what the Conxervativo Hepublicans would do in the avout of Grant's renomination, or of the nomination of ono of hiscroatures like Conkiing, Alr Phelps said thore would be two courses left open to Republicans of his viewa: Ono course woutd be to bolt the Convention and nominate a third caudidate, The other would be to coalesce with the Democracy and destroy Graut aud the wrock he had made of the Republican party to- gethor, If the Democrats should apres on a fair, conservative platform, and nominate a ticke et which would personalize that spirit, thore would be no occasion for a third ponunation, But if tho Democracy shoutd hopoloualy Bour- bonizo itse}f, and the Ropublicau Convention bo captared by Grant, elther for himself for w third term or for one of bis creaturoa, then there would bea free Sight. & general uproar, and mn- sio by the full band, ag tt wore. ut this was all hypothetical upon a contingency which Mr. Phelpa wult beliavod impouslbi » Ho did uot think Grant could capture the Itepablican Con- vention, Ie thought Grant's iutluence upon the pacty would DWINDLE RAPIDLY Aseoon ns the uext Congress came in, with ite applications of invostigative cautery to the vari- ous departwonts of bis Adin[ulatration, It could be safely assumed that the Repubiicwu winority in tho noxt House would not commit the blunder of utanding, or seeming to utand, in tho way of investigation, or an the dafeador’ and apologist of the Graut Administration, ‘hese, and many quore facts of m similar nature aud significance, wore already patent to those who mude politics aastudy, They would become apparont to the mass 10 due course of dovelopmeuts, ‘Theso views wore expressed by Mr. Phelps in an esay converational mannor, and with a peo. liar noncbelance quite wougual with politiolans when talking ¢oa nowspaper roporter for publi- Mr. Phelps leaven for Now Orloans this morn- jog, aud, after comploting hia aiesion there, goes to A lexico to look after some private Intere esta connected with the International Railway, of which enterprise heis one of the prinofpal promoters, —__-__—.

The Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Tailrond Company and others, came up beforo Judge Drummoud Saturday afternoon, ‘The ease was begun about five weeks ago in Will County, and two Receivers wore sppointed. Last woek the caso was takon by change of veauo to the United Circult Court under the tate act of Congress enlarging the jurisdiction of the Fed- oral Courts. Mr. Honsy Crawford oponed the argument by stating that lo eutered his appoarance only for the purpose of asking tohave the case diamissod. Iie atatod that the case had been brought here during vacation, without any order of court, and held that It was not removable, as discloasd by the record, from the State to the Federal Court. Moreover, even if it were removable, it was claimed it had not been properly remoyod in ac cordance with the act of Congreay, so 88 to din- lodge the jurisdiction. The prowsnt removal, if it bad baen accomplished, waa nota matter bo- tween individuals of difforont Htates. There ‘wore two clauses ralating to the present case, as follows: Sxo, 2.

Counsol aleo claimed that the bill not properly aworn to, Bud that tho whole procesdings should be re- manded to the Stato Court, which bad acquired junudiotion.
