Louis, Aug. 22.—As tha time for the open- ingof the campaign in Missour! approsches, public Interest in the Phelps scandal intensifies, and there {8 now no room for doubt that the Democratlc nominee for Governor will have to explain or step down. The chinrges published by the Globe-Democrat sovernl weeks ago, wherein Phelps was ac- cused of an indccent asssult on two ladics onbonrd the steamboat Andy Johnson, have been 80 extensively published and republished by the country press throughout the Btate that the people have become. thoroughly excited on 1hs subject, and even o number of Democratie papers demand o sntisfactory explanation from the honorable candidate. Phelps has horeto- fore maintained a stolld sllence, In spite of the fact that many of his friends have clamored for an explicit denfal, IT 18 RNOWN that, shortiy after his lecherous exploit, Phelps sent o trusted friend to sece Mrs. Long, one of the ladies who was assaulted, and whose cloth- ing was badly torn In her efforts to escape to her state-room, This friend was commissloned to call on Mrs, Long and obtain from her awritten statement exoncrating Mr. Phelps from oll criminal or unchaste motives {n his'ex- troordinary conduct. This fricndly commis- sloner, whose rame, for appropriate reasons, is suppressed, procecded to Alton, where he pro- cured the services of a policeman, and the twaln went together to the house of Mrs. Long, They found the lady , MUCH DISTRESSED . over the publicity which had already been given thie affaly, and suffering under a constant dread that her name would be brought into public print with unenvisble prominence. The visitors started in by telling her that their object was to get & statement from her certifying to the fact that the circumatance of Mr. Phelps' conduct toward her had been grossly exaggerated, and that he had not been ruilty of conduct unbecoming s gentleman. She promptly refuscd to aign any such docu- ment, Thoey went nway, but afterivards mado two more trips to sco ber. Oan the last trip they made A PATHIETIO APPHAL, assuring her that Mr. Phelps really did not in- tend to make a criminal assault on’her—that he waa heing ruined by the circulation of the ntnr{ and that, if she would sign tho paper, it woul d keep her name out of print and put a cinlccnn to the dlsnfrecnhlc scandal, which, i1 not buried, would, in the end (she heing o woman) hurt her more than Phelps. ‘They, moreover, supplemented these argyments by tho offer of $100 in cash If she would sign the vindleatory document. Mrs. Long's hus- bund was sick [n bed at the time. Sbe weot to his room and asked his advice, IHo COUNABLED MER TO ACCEPT THE OPPER. Bhe took the $100, and Phelps' friend re- turned to Bt. Louls with tho much-desired vindleation. It was to have becti published at once, but was held over for a few days untll other evidence could %e accumulated, the intention hn(nfi to present an array of ustlmon{ that would be incontestl- hle, nnJ which would effectually explode the dungerous scandal which bung like o deadly in- cubun over the head of the voteran politician, In the meantime, 8 littlo circumstance oc- curred which Induced au sbandoument of the idea of publishing the vindicatlon, at least for the time belnr. 1t has leaked out hat tho op- poncents of Phelps, hearing thut & vindicatory statement had been procurcd from Mrs, Long, went to work Lo exposs THE UNPAIR MANNER of {ts procuremout. To offsct the statement fn the lands of Thelps they abtaln- ed the proot or how Mrs. Long's -u:lnn.uu waa obtained, together with other valuable documents, all of which they hold in readincsa to anuihllato Mr, Pliclps Whenever lie sces fit to mako public the statement referred to. It i quite certatn, however, that hewill not attempt to uso Mrs. Long's atatewent, THE DEMOCKATIC BTATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE were in sossfon {n tbis city toslay, It was thought by mony that one of the ‘objects of their meeting was _either to whitowash their cundidate for Governor, or call on him to explain. After the mestiug of the Commnittes, however, tho Becretar: wasured your correspondent that the acandal waa not brought up olficlully, and that the work of the Comunittes cansisted salely (n the dis- cursion of & plan for the fall campalgn, Me, Plelps was present at the mecting, and daring the course of the afternoon remarked casually that charges lmpufining ls chastity had been freely caleuluted, and Lo desired to aunounce to the Committee that DUKING 4 PUBLIC APRECH which he fs nnmounced to deliver at Faston, Buchanan County, Aug, 34, he would make a ull and satiafactory viudicatlon, ‘Fhia occasion will, therefore, bb “looked forward to with a reat deal of anrun, though many are of he opinfon that Phels, under the private ad- vive of the Committee, will not refer to the scandal, Thoso who are thoroughly familfar with the caso assert that VINDICATION 13 IMFRACTICABLE, and that, sooncr or later, the old man must come down from the ticket, and that the more Lie endeavors to clear nwu{ thé sput from hls goud hawme the bigger It will grow, ILLINOIS, KEPUDLICAN ENTHUSIASM IN THE FOURTEEXTIL CONGHESSIONAL _ DISTRICT ~ OUTHAGES BY DEMOCRATS AT URUANA, pecial Dispaich to The Triduns. Coasratay, Ill, Aug. 23.~The Republican political horizon in this (Fourteenth) Congres- slonal District is all avlaze. HaycsandWheeler Olabs aro being organized alwiost nightly, and the euthusiasm {s Intense. ‘Forchlight com- panics are forming in all the villages, and the demand for uniforms exceeds tho abllity of the Central Comnittes to supply, The ball opens in earnest to-motrow. Gov. Deverldge and the Hen. J. Q. Cannon speak o Urbana in tho after noow, and {n this city during the evenlug, The entire county fs to be thoroughly canvassed, and billaare ‘out for niectings fn acveral town- ships during this and the next week. Last Baturday evening the llayes and Wheeler Club In Urimna held” s mect] A colored company of Hayes Guarids were present fromn this city. The speaker, Capt. M. B, Thompeon, was hooted, and the alr fufrly resounded with profanity and obscenity. Scveral IDeinocrats assured those on the stand that, In case any othicr inan was speaking, the crowd would subi side.” It Is, however, the place to remark here, that not one of the leading Democrats attempt- edin the Joast to still the Confederate mob. Mr. Beroges, the editor of the (Jazetle, of this city, and a gentleman respected by all, was in- duteil tospeak, He et with no betier treat- ment than his predecessor, aud, after calling sttention to the fact that the men who wyre creating the disturbance wern mem- ber of the ' Reform party,'* and that, for an exhibition of Demoeratic intolerance of free gpeech, we did not have tu go to the Five Yointa (n New York, nor to Alabama, he left tho stand. As soon as the colored men started for home, they were assaulted with brickbata, stones, efulu, and dirt, and driven from the town, The Democrata are in dismay at the action of their dupes, who hind been endouraged to break-up the mecting, but not to sasault the “niggers.” 1t has changed the current of public opinfon '[n favor of the Republican pnlrv, and has cost the Democracy 200 votes at feast. On Saturday night next the Hayes and Wheeler Guards “fromn this city, both white and black, will parade In Urbana, and there wili be Republican speeches without in- terruption.

TOM EWING—~THE CONTEST IN OHIO TO BB FOUGHT ON THE RAG- BABY ISSUR, Peam Our Qien Correspondent. Covusous, O., Aug. 31.—Here I met Gen. Tom Ewlng,—the same who, at tho 8t. Louls Convention, labored all nfght, in vain, with the Committee un Resolutions, to securn the inser- tion of 8 Greenback plank In the platform; who fetchied {n the minority report on resolutions, and, desplte hisses and cat-calls, read it to the Conventlun; and who was then supposed to have heen aat<lown-upon with squelching cilect, But liere he didn't in tho least resemble an in- dividunl who had been flattened out. Ile had just returned from the Democratlc Congres- stonal Convention for this district, held at Lan. caster, where he was nominated on the first bal- lot, by an overwhelming majority, over Wail- ing, the present fncumbent. As this is & Dem- ocratle pocket-dlstrict, the majority for that ticket ranging from 4,000 to 5,000, heis MORALLY CERTAIN OF BEING ELECTED, “Young Tom,” as he is still called, enjoys the prestige of o name which his father, the great Whig leader, succeasively United States Benator, Bceretary of the Treasury, Secretary of the Interlor, and Benator agnin, made n housc- hold-word throughout Ohlo. It was *OldTom™ who adopted Gen. Shennan, then only ¢ Cump* Bherman and a poverty-stricken orphan; and it was “0ld Tom' who subsequently appointed Bherman to his cadetship at West Poiut. Youug Tom—who, Vy the way, is now middle- aged—ls a brainy fellow. As a stump-orator he has few superlors in the Stats. As Chlef Jus- tico of Kansas, he acquitted himself creditably. As a General in the Unlon armny, he made a good record as a gallant soldler, and will find hiaplace In the annals of the War as the author of “Or- der No. 11,” directing merciless reprisal upon the communities that sheltered the Misrourt Copperhead Bushwhackers; for wlich order, it may beremnrked, the Antl-War Democracy of Ohio have had to wrestle powerfully with them- selves In order to forglve him, But it {s not be- cause of these things, but because he hos made himself pre-eminently the CIIANPION AND EXPONENT OF GREENDACKISM, that he Is to-day, {n reality, the leader of the Ohlo Democracy. Allen, despite his marvelous display of vigor last fall, is superannuated. Pen- dlcton, though comparatively young, s worse than superannuated. In the tender leaf he was overtaken by nipplng blight, and is politically defunct,—dead as 1s any long-ngo-defeated-in- his-own-party candidate for the Presidency. By virtue of his brains, Ewlug ranks both Allen and Pendleton. Thurman sacrificed hls self- respect, and forfeftod the respect of the rest of mankind, by his paltry trimmiog on the Currency issue, and pitiablie eating of his own words,— putting his hand to his mouth and his mouth in the aqust beforo the Rag-Baby, as ho did in his Mansfleld speech, ‘This is hlg~ Congressi district, and contained the last remnants of his once grcnf.-po larity in the party. this district the nalls were clinched fn his olitical coflin at the late Conventlon at ancaster, where the antl-Ewing tlcket (the primarics were held under the ** Baber law?) was headed “Thurman ticket,” and was over- whelmingly defeated. Bhould the Demorrats secure the Legislature, which, under the pres- ent apportioument, they might do while losing the State, Ewing will, afmost to certaluty, be Thurmau's successor in the Senate. 1t {¢ not to eat crow that Geu, Ewlng comes to the front. to lead the Democratic canvass in Ohio, but to CRAM CROW DOWX TILE TINOATS OF TR TIi~ DENITES, and to extort from then the declaration that they like it. In the Conventlon that nominated him for Congress, that was settled, * The latform of principles adopted by the St. Louls Nationsl Conveution, as wunderstvod by the Democracy of Ohlo, and as Interpreted by the can- didates for- President and Viee-President,'—1 fl,uote tlio language of the resolution,—ivas in- orsed. T\mfiu tog, alter s substitute had heen oftered simply indoising *“the plat- form and - tho letters of acceptance.” ‘Thelr construction of the platform was jusisted upon by the Greenback-Democracy of this dis- trict, who, aa well us the Democracy of the en- tire Ktate, accept Tilden only upon the explicit undorstanding that hls letter s » full surrender to the Greenhackors, Aud, i his spoech sc- cepting the nomination, Gen. Ewing served natice upon the Tildeltes to that effect when he sald . wIgtand on that question [the Currency] on the letter of acceptance of that Frcnt stateaman, Samuel J, Tilden, which says, ‘It is the duty of the Government Lo furnish auch anount of cur. rency s the wanta of business sequise. That fs the Natlonal Democratic doctrine, and TUAT 13 TI18 OHI0 DEMOCRATIO DOCTRINE.” Gen, Ewing told mo that the Democracy were contident of carrying the State. He adimitted that the vote last” vear was the largest ever polled in the State; that it would not boe ex- celled this fally and that then the Demacracy were beaten by between 5,000 and 6,000 major- ity, and that was in an ofl-year, when that party invarlably polla ita heavieat - vote, To the Gihegun “law and the School questlon he attributed the Democratic defeat then. Tut ho fgnored the fact that the Temperance- cruamde cost the Republlcan party the loss of wabably twice @4 many votes fn the Cltles of Incinnatl, Colutnbuy, "Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo. As for the * Tilden-and-Reform* business, with s sleniiicant smile be eald, *Oht of courss we shall talk about Reform a little;” but he admitted that NOTIING WOULD BE OAINED DY THAT. 4 On what lssue, then," T queried, ‘“do you count on Demacratic gains?”! 4+ On the repeal of the Resumptlon law and the re-uatablishment of tho silver dollar," was his snswor, % These two propasitions, directly submitted to tho people, would carry Ohlo ten to one. But party-projudices, and the thou- sand Influences which te men to their political organlzatious, make them vote against their convictions; otherwlse the Hepublican party wouldd lose overy township In Obio on these fssues.! I remarked to the effect that the Democracy of New York—the Democracy ropreseuted ut St. Louis by Aungust Belmont’und Licut.-tioy. Dorsheiiner, and which nominated Tildun—on thoxo {ssuca was viglently upposed to the Ohlo Democracy. " Y Yrs,' Was his response, % But the purposes and tepdencles of partics are judied by tho opluions und gets of the grest molority of their n%hllrnuu,—cap«:rlnuy o1 new questiol gpect of which some ilivision fs to be andd talerated for u thne, These ure new fssue, Three-fourths of the Republican party aro for the Restimption law sud the demonetizatlon of allver, whily three-fourths of the Demyeratlo party are agatust both thoss measures, A8 the cunvass goes on, this will hecome wpparent to all, and the voters who wre not tled fust to rty, and who want the repeal of the Resump- mu faw_aud o restoration of wilver, will go with the nummm{." “Yon expet, then, to work the canvass in Obio on the vurrency fssuoi” I remarked, * Certatnly,” responded Gen. Ewing, “Itis TUR PAKAMOUNT 138U8, which the qeu%lu are discusstng, und bave becn diseusstng in Olo for yeard. ey cunnot by Qiveited Ao 1t Fifty thousand Taborers fn ::m: u:) ov-"ul vo‘t‘! work. ]lum}rcdn,l ot Ou s ers ure worklug hut clgbt /bowry st reduced rutes. § Mere And fn° chants, manufacturers, tradesmen,—~in fact, cvnrybod{ but money-lenders,~are losing their fortunes from the full of values consequent an the coutraction of the currency, which the Resumption law makes inevitable, and of which we see only the beginning. Half the business- men of Ohlo are on the rageed edge of bank- ruptey, and nost of the other half are marching toit."" And he continued in a tone significant of his owncontempt of the *Tliden-and-Re. form ™ crg, To talk to them in this crisia of Administrative Reform s triftiug. You might as well talk to & man, whose liouso Js on fire, about, an finproved method of ventllating It." The Tilden men at 8t. Louls, I reminded him, had refused to ;io with the Ohlo Democracy upon this identlcal Currency fssue. There was no need, In fact, to remind Gen, Ewing of that fact. At St. Louls ho represented Ohlo De- mocracy on the Committee on Resolutions, and the Tllden men made Aharp fasue with blm, and pretended to declare for Hard Monc{; ‘ Hard Money or Eoft Money,” he replied, ‘18 not the {ssile, and never was, All parties are for paper-money, which always was, and al- ways will be, the'bulk of our currency. The Democracy favor a Government money WHICH COSTA TIE PEOPLE NOTHING. ‘Whether Mr. Tilden entertalns that view, I don't know; but the only cholce is between that aper-money and bank-paper. But Mr. Tilden 1as planted himself aquarely agatnst the Repub- Ncan acheme of forced resumption, He also declares that no plan of resumption should be adopted which will disturb the business of the country by reducing the volumé of the currency below “the legitimate demands of trade. In short,—and licre tho Generul struck the key- note of the Democratic canvasa fn this State,— W My, Tilden favors just that mode of resumptlon sehich e Ohio Demnocrals have alioays favored; and hix declarations as to the volume of "currency are Juat thoe we made laat year.” “The fact then is," I Interrupted, *that Do- mocracy will this fall make preciscly the Issuc they did with Gov, Allen at the héad of thelr ticket Jast fall, and will occupy the same posi- tion prectscly they did then, and on that lssue vote for Tilden " “Certainiy,” snidbe. 'The Issue can't bo made anything clse fn Ohjo; that s the issue with the people. We can stand on Mr. Til- den's letter of acceptance, and make our fight suceessfully, without retracting anything we have sald or favored, Mr. Tilden, in'hislefter, EXPRRESIRS TIIE VIEWS OF THE OHI0 DEMOCRACT toadot on the questions of Reaumption and the regrulation of the volume of currency.” As Gen, Ewing complains that the Greenhack Democracy have been * egregiously lHed-about, " I have taken the trouble to give his views in his own language, somewhat in extenso, as revised by himself after having been reduced to writlng, befare belng incorporated in this letter. The views of the Ohlo Democracy, upon which the canvass will be made, arc the same that were worn threadbare by Mr. Pendleton snd Gov. Bamue! F, Cary: that it Is the business of the Government to furnish to the people a cireu- lnunF mediuin (rags) which costs the peaple nothiug, and, according to the Greenback '.Ee< ary, never can cost anything, beesuse the pay- ment of these promises-to-pay Is *forced con- traction,” that would rob and bankrupt the people. What It really costs the people instim- ulating Inflated especulations in valucs, in the uncertaluty attending all operations, and fn loss or exchange, {s never reckoned. " And, b “supplylng currency equal to the wants o¥ trade,” the meaning of which pbrase, If mean- Ing it has, no man ever told,~what the Ohio Democracy intend 18 such continued inflation as will renew the balloon-speculation era—to he succeeded by a scttlement-day more l.r'ylug eyven than was the famous * Black Friday." This Is precisely the sort of Democracy the g!\gen men went to Bt. Louls to stamp out. ot IT 18 IRREPREASIDLE, No other Democracy obtalns in Ohfo to an ex- tent worth reckoning and, had the attempt to stamp it out been punllted In, the Cooper tick- et would have been voted by tens of thousands of Ohio Democrata, Tilden's letter of accept- ance they recelve solely as an unconditional sur- render, giving notlee' to that ellect as Gen. Ewing does, and finding thelr assurance fn the tact that Tilden has not the ghost of a chance of an election without the aid of the Greenback Demogracy; aud, i€ elected, they will demand from him, and enforce it, full reécognition, and that thelr policy, to which he lins come in his letter, be not sct-nside after the electlon. Undoubtedly the {ssuc will be made as Ewing indicates; and undnumedlr too, as whoever sounds oublic sentiment in this State must dis- cover, it I8 out of the question for that issue to ‘e avolded. In Ohlo, the canvass batween Hayes and Tilden will bo but a RENEWAL OF TIIAT RETWEEN RAYES AND ALLEN, L might seem that the siccess of Hayes last would have sutlsiled the Democraté of the bootlesaness of reviving that {ssuc. But ft should not be forzotten that the Dempcratic. yvotethen was the largest ever polled in the State, Never before, gince 1570, on o full vate, had the Democracy been beaten by lessthan from 20,000 t0 40,000 But last year Gov. Hayes' majority was only 5,540. Asthe votes lost to the Repub- lican party then, by reason of the reaction aguinst the temperance crusade, were, in the genernlly-accepted esthnute, about offsct by those gained for the Republican ticket on the School question, the closencss of the contest may be accepted 08 indicating the sirengih of the Greenback sentiment in Ohlo, which it would be sheer folly to underrate. But the Greenback issue has ‘been fought over so long and so stubbornly in Oblo that {t {s tacitly admit- ted by the Greciback leaders themscives that upon that question they can expect no acces- slons to thelr rank. Thelr reckoning here, I find, as It was at Toledo and Cleveland, 18 upon CAPTURING THE GERMAN-AMERICAN VOTE. Last fall, upon the Greenback issuc, that was cast almost wholly for Gov, Huves. U‘[Km that sawne {ssue now, with ouly Tilden substituted for Allon, there secins no yeason why that vote should now be cast inst Gov. Haves. But thie only Biope of the Democracy n this State ls {n sceuring a considerable portion, at least, of the German-American vote for Tllden and the Ohio Democracy’s (ireenbackism: as to which the aforesaid German-Americans are to assume, it s supposed, that Tilden {s simply cheating the Ohlo Democracy,~coming it over them ina way that is sad.

In regard to the Third District Congressional fight, it Is understood that Gen. A. L. Chetlaln will 0ot be a candldate. He was waited on Mon- day evening by a delegation of French-Ameri- can citizens and urged to push his claims, but the General emphatically, though graclously, decllned, e stated that while ho would deem it an honor to represent the district in Con gress, yet he did not Wke to go into an exten- sivo and expensive canvass. If the Convention would unanfmously tender the nomination then he might ecept it, but not otherwise. But as that would not probably be the case, ho did not feel at liberty to enter into a canvass. In re- gard to his military record, Tne TRIBUNE was in error in some points as mentloned a few days ago. Gen. Chctlain was the flrst man to enlist in the Stateof Illinols, westof Chicago.

On May 2, 1801, he was elected Licutenant-Colonel of the Twelfth Iliinols Volunteer Infantry, and commanded the regiment in the battles of Don- elson, Bhiloh, and " the advance and battle of Corlnth, From November, 1802, Lo June, 15ty Gen.

From Dccember, 1864, ta August, 1855, he was in command of the post de- fenses of Memphis, with 15,000 troops under hie command. From October, 18685, to February, 1806, Gen.
