THR SECRET PORTION GIVEN OUT TO TIIE PREER, WasmingroN, D. C., July 80.—The seal of secrecy having been removed from the conclud- ing portion of the testimony of ex-Salicitor Bin- ford Wilson, it {s given to the press. Much of it fa a repotition of former testimony, or in ex- planation thereof. Wilson testified that, about ihe 9th of Beptember, he wrote a lefter to Hen- derson, In which he stated substantlally that, during the hearing of motlons Lo qunsh the In- dictments in McDonald’s case, then pending be~ fore Judge Miller, I thought it Important that McDonald ond Joyce should be put under the strictest survelllance, and that every proner pre- caution should be taken to provent thelr escape that it was highly important, also, that asso- clates and co-consplrators with McDonald nnd Joyee, if there were any then unkmown, should be discovered and brought to punishment, nnd T used the words that it was of the utmost Im- portance to the publicinterest that lie should go to the very bottom or top of combiuations, and underscored the words, ' BoTTOM OR TOT," and knowing that Gen. Babeock would be fn 8t. Louls with the President, and knowing his re- 1ations with McDonald and Joyce, I intended to use, and did use, such terms that Gen, Hendor- son might scc clearly that his relations with MecDonald and Joyce while in the city should he carefully looked after and luquired into, This, I belleved, I was fully authorized and warranted to do by the terms of the Presldent’s Indorsement of the Barnard letter, and supposed that, in a0 dolng, I would receive his support and approval. It turned out that this letter of mine was taken from amoug the papers of Gen. Henderson while he was engaged in a law argument in court at St. Louls; that MODONALD OR JOYCE GOT TOBSESSION OF IT, and to support the chargo that I was putting sples on the President, after the word *Top ! in my letter, the capital letters “W, 1LY were forged thercin. This letter or copy containing tho forgorics'was brought back from the West by Babeock and shown to Bristow and Plerre- pont, who were much disturbed, but Wiléon hind no dificulty in convineing them of tho forgery. That was the end of tho matter with them. I'ORTER OIVES WILSON A HINT. _° Wilson also explained the lotter to Gon. oraco Porter, who said at once: “\Wilson I don't want to hear anything more—that'is the end of thut matter. The letter Is a forgery beyoud ques- tlon and that lota you out.” T sald: * A word with you, General, about that otter. Iwroto that letter intending that Gen. Babeock should bo looked after. If he was in the Ring I intended to catch him f it was In my power. If he was not Iexpected todemonstrate Lis Innocencs beyond the shadow of a doubt, 1f possible to do so.” I usked Gen, Porter what explanation ho had ofthe * 8ylph? telegrain, and ho gave me un explenation to the eflict that SBYLLIL! WAS A LEWD WOMAN with whom tho President of the United States had been In intimate nssociation, and that she hiad bothered and annoyed tho President until at one timo It chanced that McDonald's atten- tion wos colled to her, ond he enld he knew her and would relicve the Prestdont of her, which he did. Gen. Porter sald to me, without going any further into explanation, that the most incatimoble service In my power to rendor the President of the Unlted Btatos would i T0 SIIELD AXD SAVE GEN. DANCOCK from cxposurc; that these matters were of a chpracter that could not be gone into without giving all partics the very greatest trouble aud concern. Itold the General that I would do what I could fairly to sce that Gen, Babeock was honestly and squarely dealt with, und that no injustice was donae him, but that further than that 1 could not and would not go, Tho matter was fn the hands of the local ofllcers at 8t. Louls, and I would urge upon them tho grave importance to all parties thut no mistakes should be mado In reference to Gen. Babeock's conuncction with the ring, Gen. Porter express- od himsclf as perfectly satisfled. Wilson testified as follows in rofcrence to AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT: Ishowed the President the Burnard lotter, and read to him that extract from it in which Mr, Normile was eredited with baying sald sub- stantially: ““Tho President dare not go too for with Mc- Donald and Joyce, or Babcock s lost.” I read to him that part of his letter In which Jim Cascy was refel to,and I turncd over the letter, and on the back af it read to him with great de- Hberation the indorsement in whicl Le had sald: ““Theso newspaper clipptiga and thin letter arc eent to the Department to the end that, U they throw any light upon witnossca” to be summoned, they may bo brought out. Let no gullty, man escapy i 1t can bo avolded,” I read’to the President of tho United Btates the concluding sentences in hia letter, fn which hasald: Ba specally vigi- lant, or charge those In authority to be, uzainst all those who clalm to have high muhor’ily to protegt them ” (meaning to protect others or to protert themselves), and in which he finally waldl that ** Personal considerations should not stand in the way of the perforinance of o public duty;™ and I sald to him: WAy, l]'n.-.;(. dent, what I have done in tho premiscs toucting Cen. Babeock T Lave done under wareant. end In full pursuance of your own inetructions to the Secretary of the Treas- ury awd ta myself.” Hosalds S CERTAINLY. 11AD DABCOCK AND JIM OABEY 1N MIND when I nade t.‘!lu:, ‘lndnrsumcnt, and I expected ’"1";'«‘?.{“13 m:n.“ {‘Mr. Peesident, that is pre- clsely the reply which T ex‘wclcd you, us Presi- dent'of the ljnyml Btates, to maka to me.” 1 cxplafued to the President that it was Gen, Bubeoek Imeant In the letter to Henderson, aud not blmself; that it never entered m miud for one moment that, uuder uuly possihle cambination of clrcumstunces, was {t possibis r him to have had any lmproper relutions with those parties, or with auy other ‘;uly en- aged in o violution of the laws of the Tund; that when I fixed the iwrlud durlnfiwhiuh thy fuyesthzation should be made in Bt. Louls, [ bud refereuce to the fact of «Gen Dabcock’s so- journ In that city, and not to hls own, and that when referred to the ae- socintions of McDonnld, I referred to the well _known and famflise associations of MeDonald and J(?‘ce with (ien. Babeock. T also showed tha Prrsident that, under instrue- tlous of the Attorney-Generly but without the approval of the Screctary of the Treasury, I had gune to St. Louls for the purposc of wrging tpon the lucal oflicers—Ilenderson and Dyer— THE IMPOITANCE OF MAKING NO MISTAKN in reference to Gen. Bubeock's Indictment, tell- Iug them that he should not %ie ndicted, 8o far os their influence was concerned, except npon the fullest and clearest testimony, sutisfyiog thiem of hils gullt, and that every procaution be taken on thelr part to do hith no Injustice, and it the facts were duvclnrcd to his credit, to glve Mm the benefit of them throughont. told the Fresident that all thie ofticerd had assured me that such was thelr fixed, settled purpose, Wiison further testiiled that TIL PRESIDENT INDIGNANTLY DENIED the explanation of the wonl “Sylph’ as ex- plained by Porter, and sald thera was not o word of truth init. Wilson expressed his dis- bellef of the storv to the Preslient. uestion by Plajsted—Do you not belleve, and did you not at the timo helieve, that this explanation of Gen. Porter's of the “Sylph" Mapateh was Sntended to deter you from doing your duty in the prosceution of Gen. Babeock! A—Most unidoubtedly I did and do. TO TUTTON.

WHAT CLEVELAND, BHOWN & CO.'S LETTER AMOUNTS TO. o the Editor of The Tritune, Marqurrre, Mich., July 27.~Early In the campalgzn for nomination, the Demovracy, with a degree of carncstness seldom by it cxperi- enced, advised the Cinclnnati Conventlon to carefully avold the nomination of o candidate whose cliaracter would place the party on the defensive, It was alleged from Maine to Georgla that Blalne would have to be defeaded ; that nn aggressive plan could not be adopted and carricd out under Iis name. In my judg- ment tlds was good advice, and I am glad to know that our delegates at Cincinnatiappro- ciated the wisdom of Democratic counsel {n this regard. I the St. Louls Convention had been equally fortunate in listening to the appeals of its own press, and the kindly warnings of the Repubticans, it 18 possible that it might have drifted clear from the rock which they sollcit- ously entreated the Republicans to aveld. Bat, true to its post, the immoblle Democracy mude Its usual Leap-Year mistake. Hypocrisy In its platform, the thin dissimulation of the Tam- many delezation, and, above all, the vulner- abllity of the candidates, prove up the quadren- nial blunders. In about all the Democratic papers which come under my notlee, the work of defending both Tilden und Ilendricks i8 progressing. Stumpers have also taken up the burden. TII- den didn't 1ssue the famous corruption circular in 1808 he has not robbed raflroads; he did not support the resulution declaring the War o fail- ure; he was a Unfon man throughout the Wary he hins been {mmaculate n his honesty; he ac- uired his stupendous fortune by strict atten- tlun to business; lie has been very liberal with his patrons for Lake Superlor products; hoe didn’t cheat the laborers of the Michigan Iron Compunyi be neyer fssued any {llegal **iron c?{rll:ncy " to pay bis laborers, and su on Indeti- nitely, Mcssrs, Cleveland, Brown & Co., of Cleve- 1and, have written a speclous letter showing the actual amount of New York Mine currency s« suel. They are the sales agents for the New York Mine, and their commissfonson sules prob- ably amount to £8,000 per snnum. 1t i8 not dotibted that they are IRepublicans and gentle- men of honor, but it is essy to sce thar they kuow on which side thelr bread Is buttered; and knowing it, docs any one suppose they ore so guileless a8 to lose a protty fat take” by re- lllnlng to write o letter on the order of ‘their chief? And whoen wrltlunf,' it, would they lose sfght of the sale of 80.00U tons of ore uid the conunisslons; and would they, holding that ob- ject in view, be fully as severe on the President of the Company as they might otberwlse be and still be truthfull But I do not cbarge upon Messrs, Cleveland, Brown & Co. auything more than a desire to make as good story for Suin 88 tho fucts would warrant, The New York Mine, it is notdisputed,is more than two-thirds the property of Tiden; und, according to the report of the agent, €90,000 v shinplasters were lssued by the Company, and $83,010 redeemed. Well, this s 80 much any way towards proving previons asscrtions that Tilden had been {n the shinpluster business, But it is ulleged that these drufts were legnl that attorneys had examined Into the cuse an ronounced “them not an Infringement of nw. It has never been questioned that L drafts, engraved nnd {ssucd {n denominatlons of 81, $2, 83, &5, and §20, were Issucd ju lieu of currency. They did so circulntes and, fndeed, it has slways been asserted that the fsolated condition of tho mines from the ordinary ave- nues of trade and commerce, mude it so difficult to et currency that it was found nccessury to Issie n local money to meet the demands of lu- esl business. In slze, appearance, quality of paper, the drafts were absolutely simllar” o money. Bome of the plates were engraved on stecl, while others were neatly lithogruphed n - regolar currency denominatlons, and supplied with another evidence of similurlty to ordinary paper cur; reney in thelr funcy Ereen back, They were attruetive In form as artists could make them.

SAMMY AND JAY. THE NEW YORK THMBUNE TO ¥LOP" POR TIL- DEN, T5 the Kditor of The Tribune. New Youx, July 20.—The material facts con- tafued In your allegations in regard to Sam Til- den's muitifarous raflrond transactions and bond negotiutions can be corroboeated by a number of bankers und sttorneys in this city, who, having hud a joiut fntereat with him in hia operations, are of course familiar with thelr character. A prominent attorney, who hus re- cently returned W this clty, is in pussession of certain evidence relative to Tilden's financial sehemes, which, if divulged, would prove him to be & dangerous man in the Presidential oflice, 50 far as the public Intcrests are concerned. The recent attacks of the ZTribune of this city upon President Grant lave oc- casfoned constdersble comment n polit- feal circles lera, and the general inqulry is, ** What {s the mutter with the Trib- unef" I think I can angwer "he question, Sam Tilden and Juy Gould are old and Intimate friends, and several years apo Tilden, Gould, and Tweed “operated ™ extensively together in rallway and other stocks on Wall streer. In one clique formed by this lilustefous trio, Dick Connolly and I think Jim Watson were purticl- meo covered by 1884, the date 1X 0N eurrency; 2, 18 the currency gy pge Enn(nln the profite, and the amount realized y the “pool ™ aggreuated over half a miflion dollars. 1 am intormed that theee facts are susceptible of verltication by several pursons in this city who were acquainted with the trans. action. " Tilden was formerly one of Juy Gould’s henchmen, ged aud while the'latter was e with Jim Fisk In fleecing the Erle Rallwey fny New York, the former was Xulllng the wires for hiin through his agents at Albany, In fact, the infamous Erle classification act, "the objeet of swhich wns to enndle the Erie Ring to malutaiu their possession of thelr property after they hud disposed of thelr stock, and to prevent the rlgfu(ul owners from securing control of the {’o‘x:;'(. was the creation of Sam’ Tilden's fertlie rain, In Gould's conflict with the Government to prevent the collection of moue‘)‘ due on account. of rubsidy bonds fseued to the Unlon Pacifle Rallroad Company, Tilden would be Invaluable 10 im i elected President, whereas with Hayes In the Presidential chalr Gould could not hope for any favors fn that direction. Hence it is belleved that the Tritune hos recelved orders from hcmlvlunnem ta “flop over” to Tliden s soon as sutllclent pretext is afforded, and if in disobedience to its demands the Re- publican party should refuse to “re- pudiate irant™ the virttuous organ of the great stock-Jubber will be fuund at no distant. day in the present campalgn an carnest advocnte of the election of Tllden, and o supnorter of the reform pretensions of the old nllivs of itsowner. The lukewariiness with which it advucates the electlon of Hayes, and the systematie manner it which all reflectlons upou Tilden's past political and finunclal record are excluded trom Its eolumus, indicate that fta change of front, like Jay Gould's fank inove- ments on the Stock Exchange, may take place oL any moment, AR THE SOUTI.
