WARD, J. D, CONYRRENCE WITH TIR GOVERNMEST LAWYERS, At 10 o'clock yestorasy morning the Hon. Jasper D. Ward mounted tho staircage of tho ‘Custom-Houss Ballding and ontered tho Diatrict Attorney's office. It wna not tho first time that Mr. Ward had mounted thoso stairs and entered tiat offios, but in the old times he walked up with o brisk stop, sad wont into the offico with a ploasant nod to whomsoover he met. 1n thosa days ho was Unitod States Distriot Attorney, and bhis babits wore methodical, From 10 uotilil ho appliad himself to his mail, and from 11 to 12 ho gave audionce to & scoro of newspapar mon. His seanoe with jouruslista was foarfal and wondorful. ¥or an hour he was oloquent over thlogs tbat happonod o the Illinois Legislature and mattor in Congrens, aud, when ho aaw tho roportorial month open and A quoation coming up the reportorial throat, anather incidont m- maodintoly anggested itselt to Mr. Ward, which cloned the reportorial mouth and wont holf-way down the reportorial throst, and thore stuck. Dut the boya all liked Ward, and his oflics was & stampiug ground for the best reportorial talont in thoso days, and when the nows camo that the huge, good-natured Distriot-Atiorney bad been removod, gemwne griat fell upon the journalis- tio ranks, and there was a warm exprossion of sympathy for him, connected with the hope that his succossor would bo an equally good fellow. Bo far as getting any news out of Ward, it was an uttor and cloarly defined imposeibility, snd his standing joke of “ Don't eay you got any- thing from me * passed into a by-word, And a8 Mr. Ward slowly aeconded the stair- way yesterdsy morning and entered hia oftice, ho was chioorily greeted by a Tnunune roportor, bt it woa notlced that tho old elaatio stop that char- soterized Ward In his officlal days wau gone, sod that he had lost the anclent look that betokened & proprietary interest in all he sarveyed, Ho was'collocted, and all that, but he felt that ho was o visitor to his old haunts and no longor District Attornoy. Judge Bangs was In the offico and welcomed Mr, Ward, snd, after a fow minutes of general conversation, the two gontlomen entered tho rivate room, where they woro soon foliowod by r, Ayor, Mr. Bontello, and Mr, Doxtor, Ward opened his romarks by stating that confessed thioves and perjurera bad been beforo tho Grand Jury and had tried to implicato him in sheir crookodness and treachery, and that ho did not proposa to havo his nameo and fair famo black- enod by an indictment if » FAID AND HONEST EXEOSITION OF Itfa AYFAIRS ocould preventit. ‘*Gontlomen,” said he, *in the courso of an ardoous public life I may have besn of aomo uso to somebody, and I do not proposo at my timo of 1ifo to have my mEnhunn aworn away, and what ueefulness I may have destroyed by tho gaug of mon who have conspired sgainstmo, and who have not only committod witlful and deliberate perjury, but ‘who have pald money to socuro my downfall, and who have sworn to compass ihat downfall though it cnrr?r them with it, I know that coming to you in this way is somothing un- recodoutod. X know that a'men whoso caso in Eolarn tho Qrand Jury has no rights ootil the day of his tlal, but in this time of torror and in- dictment, when mon of poasltion and influencoe are falling on uvazflnhlo. whon the poople of tho country are standing lghnu st tho eyidenco of corruption that each day brings forth, I say in such a time an funooent man must boaooch that heo have somoe opportunity to ward off the throat~ ening danger, and I foaist that it Is tho duty of the Govornment counsol to afford a mau a chance to ahow whoreln 1o is threatened by perjury and corruption, and it ié tholr furthor dutly to protect bim, *The nowspnpers are teeming with statemonts that an indictment has been agteed upon againat me, On what? Xkuow that [ caunot oxpoot & Grand Jury to try my canse, Iknow that I am not permitted to introduce avidence to disprove the chargea sgalnst me. I know that probable cause ig now sulicient to support an wmdictmont, but on what do you propose to baso §t ? I learn that this man Jake Rehin hea eworn that ha has pald mo monoy for corsupt purposes, and I pro- nounce his siatement A8 YALNA A8 HELL. Ilearn, or at least 1 Lavo been told, that bs tries to fmplicato me in & transaction iu which §40,000 ‘woro raised to loan to Mr. A, O, Hesing, If he hias stated that there was anything corrupt in that transaction, ho has simply lied,—licd under oath, perjured bimself. “'Now et mo explain thas $40,000 transac- tion, That it was lnvocent no man tving can dony. 1In August, 1874, Jaie Bohin came to me and'sald that uhlufiton Heslng must be wken off the track in tho Third District ; must Lo take. enout of Farwells way, Ho said that A, O, Heslog was hard up, and if 40,000 could be ralsed for the old man Wash would be dlaposed of. He did not proposs to make the old mau & gift of the mouey, He nn:fi,ouod 1t in tho shapa of & loan, for which Healng wastogive his notea, that Farwoil would contribute, toat ho wsnted 85,000 from tme, snd thas tho rest would be sssgased nm the distillers, I gavo him my noto for €8,000, Yrom the time that note was dus_until the prosent timo he has bounded mo for tho money, He has doggodi and persecuted, and duoned me when he knew f::",‘{?" raiss |1; He lns ha::d u L my mcfi og i Aymen i ei'waop_gm the payment, A0 pal hldle‘:n‘ur.'\vm drow out the chiook and exhib- * That, gentlomon, 18 tho only financial trans- fotion I over had with this man Hebm in my life. 1t waa s long timo bofore I could got out of bim the noto which Hesing gave him ta so- cure my money, and, whon ho found he bad to give it un, ho persscuted mo all the hardor for tho balanco I owed himon the note I had given.” Hore Mr, Watd enterad upon an cloquont do- #eription of Relim's perjury and treachery, and #aid that the efforts of fiehm to Indict him ‘wers !mn of a oonspiracy of which Rehm wan the ring- cador, nud that if m{vonu of tho conapiratora had sasured lum (Mr. Ward) of ovor having beon Rullty of onosingle sct npon which sn {ndictmons vould atand, they had malignantly lied, and in so porjunng themsolves had thrawn away the jast spark of manhood or honor they over possessed. * A I told you, &unflnmun,l is unpreccdentod fo allow an accusod man to explain his case to the Grand Jury bofors hin indictment, but I can produce men to whom REI 11AS ADMITTED 11IB PLEJURY, and I havo docuntonta to show thst fu no sdmit- ting his perjury Lie bas for onco told tha truth. Under thoeg citcamatances, am 1 to be pirsuod into a social grave by such aman? Am 1 to go down into infamy with my lips sesled and my oyos closod, without the poor privilers of opon- ing my mouth in defense of & carcer that hns besn apoken of respootfully, and & reputation which, 1o my poor vanity, I hold in respoct ? Do I undozstand that the domnods of justica inelat that & man, bought up with & promiss that- he shall not disgrace a Penitontisry, can awoar away my charactor, all 1 Lave ‘loft inalong struggle, and which {a all the wealth Losk ? You draw your tudictmenta for conspiracy, but thero nover was, aince God constructed the earth, s blackor, more damnable couspiracy than that which brings me tiero to-day, bogging an oppor- tunity to develop tho truth and sond . this howl- lng band of chatactor-cut-throats 80 doep that thebrentlhiof honesty will neverreach thom again.

Bot I pioteet to you agalnet tho courso that bas boen pursued agaiust me, and I clamor for tuo right of pro- tection sgainat tho porsecution that threatuus mo with social oxtinction nnd moral denth,” Aftor Mr. Ward's doparture, thors was s long cousultation botwson the counsel. MR, DEXTER remarked that ha could not see the propriety of scceding to Mr. Ward's roquest, while among $ho othera thoro sconmod to bo some feoling fu tho mattor, and & strong inolination to probo the matter bofore permitting the findivg of the indlotmont. ‘I'lio conclave Ifimuy broko up with- out arriing st any défmte conclusion, but Inter rumors. woro to tho offcct that the Grand Jury would take Lold af tho matter, und that they would subpmna -Mr, Ward snd bLear his statomont. Lato in_tho aftornoan a TmuUNE roporter called on Mr. Ward, and, after couvincing Maj. A. W.

" 1cls stated that A PORTION OF REIM'S TESTIMONY against Ward was to the offect that he (Rohm) Lind paid Ward money on a Jitile echome to got some books out of Wara’s offico when the latter was District-Attoruey.
