CAUSE OF TNB LATTER'S HOSTILITY. 8pectal Dimeteh te The Tridune, ‘Wasmsgron, D. C,, Oct. 28.—The National Republican presents one of the reasons for the attitude ol Senator Ben Hill towart the Presi- dent. Last winter Revenue Collector Fannin, Bccond District of Georgia, was remaved be- «ause of defalcations of Lis suhordinates which ‘he was unable to make good. E. C. Wade, ~without application on his part, was nominated to flil the vacancy, Ie was fangllar with the dutles of the office, having been for some time «Chlef Deputy, and his spoointment was care .mestly recommended by the chief revenuo offl- ciala in the interest of the service. The nomi- aation wasbitterly opposcd by Senators Hill and Gordon, who, of course, kad a Democrat of vthelr own saclection ready to step foto the place, and only passed the Senate by & majority of one. Even after the commission had been +fsaued Benator 1111 did not cease his hostility, “but from his scat in the Senate forwarded to the Revenuo office an anonymous attack on the Collcctor’s bond, with the following character- 1atlc indorsement ¢ I recelved the within alip fn f letter withonta mignatnre. 1know nothing of the facts atated, only know that (he appoiutment of K.

TIIC POTTER FARCE. IIOW TIN BLY ONES HOODWINKED THEIR FEL- LOW DEMOCRATS, Special Dispateh 1o The Tritune, ‘WasmiNato, I. C., Oct. 23.—A curlous story 13 afloat here 1o regard to the real object of Mr. Clarkson Pottor's visit to Washington a short time slace. Itfs tothe effect that the devel- opments made by tho publication of the cipher dispatches had greatly astonished and annoyed him, ond that his visit to Washington was ehiefly for the purpose of making some inquiries himaelf in regand to tha real character of the zarly evidence which had been collected, and mndo tho basts of the movement for forclug e Potter resolution through the Mouse. The atatement now Is that quite a number of Domo- zrats wero cutirely misled by the assurances xiven in the early stages of tho movement ‘that the evidenco at_hand was of such a charac- ter ns to enable the Committce to make a case szainst the President and Socretary of tbo “freasury in a very brief period. As aresult of “hese assurances, it was announced in a Demo- cratic caucus, called to consider tho expediency of passing a resolution of inquiry, that a case of dtnpeachment could be completed within fifteen days. Tho result of Mr. Potter's visit licro s now said to ba the convictiou on his part that the moet cxaggerated value was xiven ot the owscet to the Lestimony, which was laid before thoss who doubted the expediency of an inveati- gation, and that if the rcal character of tho evi- dence collceted, as it has alnce been discovered, Tiad been known at the time it would have been fiupossible to have committed a very consider- uble iumber of Influentlal Democrits on the tlour of the House to the support of the resolu- tion which finally passed. It is aleo asserted here by the Denocrats that Mr. Potter’s final determination to decline a renomination was caused largely by the cmbarrassments which arise from his own connectlon with the pending nvostigation.

For some dnys the Times has been ringing the changes on ita allegation that Mal. Ifoffman was 3 defaulter to tho West Town; that ha had retained 3 per cent on collections mnade by him, giving certaln fabalous sums os the amount thusobtained; that ho was as dishonest as Mike Evans, aud was for these reasons an unflt man to be clected Bhenifl over Kern,—who had mado 30,000 & year out of the fecding of prisoners, and had asscssed his bailiffs suveral thousand dolisara to cover the cxpenscsof tho present campalin, It was not at first deomed necessary o say anything in reply to these statements— these distortions of the truth; but, In view of thelr persistence, and of the fact that poasibly somo may be weak enough to be futluenced by this *damnnble fteration " of lica, it ia best to aive the facts {8 the case -and leave the voters to fudee for themsclyes. ‘The Revenue Jaw ndopted In 1572 provides in subistance thiat Town Collectors shall recelve for collecting taxes not oxceeding $1,500, Al fees in cxcess of that sum ars to bo turned over to the Town Treasury. The commissions are at the rate of 2 per cent on all moneys collecterd. At the time of the adoption of this Revenue law thae taxes of the City of Chicago were collected by the Citv Collector. The various Town Col- lectors had to do with simply town, park. State, and county taxes, In 1875 the dla for tho first time certified to the County Clerk the -muu(n. it desired Lo raise, and for the first tinie had fts taxes collected by Town Collectors, nnd, u‘mru- hensive that these officers, baving saditlonal duttes imposed on thein und having to glve edditional honds, might make some difiiculty, the Councit by erdimance fixed the compensation of Town Collectors for thus collecting city taxes at 2 per cent of tho suma taken fn by them. Acting under this, and also under a voto of tho Couuty Board turning over to bim 3 per cont of the coflections, Mike Evaus during tha winter of 1875 and spring of 187 collected the taxes in the South'Town and re- cclved as hib percentare, attor deducting all ossible expenditures, £12000 and upwards, ‘ie West Town Board considered the question, ond declded to allow Mr, Hallinan, who was then Democratic Collector, the £ per cent on money collected for the city. Substantiaily the sam¢ arrangetnent waa made on the North Bide, In the West Town Hullinan went on and re- cejved nearly $4,000 for his commissions. ‘The following year toffman was elccted, and entered upon the discharge of his duties. This same question of the 2 per cent on city collec tion camne up, und Mr, Hoffman had a cousulta. tion regaraluw the matter with Justlces Malson, Bcullv, Bheridan, Saulabury, and Morrlson in the spring_ of 1876. They'told him that, s n- ‘Town Board, they had wothing to do with the matter, and that thoy would do with him as the; done with Hulliuan. Acting under this understanding, he went on with his collections during 1870-'7 and 1877-'4. 'The tutal umount recelved by lim_ns cominisslons on city taxos collucted wus $4,700 In 1870 and 84,600 fn 1577, as apoeurs on the books.

J GEORGE E. wnITn, Yesterday morning the Republican Executive Commnittee took up the First Benatorial District case. Mr. Georgo E.

CONDON CRUSHED, TYeaterday morning while Judge Drammond was engaged In hearing & case {n his chambers, the proceedings were somewhat suddenly inter- rupted by the apnenrance of Mr. . H. Condon, Greenback and Independent candidate for Con- grees v tha 8ccond District, who was backed by a considerable number of his political support- crs.. Without any delay, Mr. Condon proceeded to Inform the Court that Lo considered the Greenbackers were entitled Lo have & part of the Supervisors of Election chosen from their number. There wascortain districts where the Greonback party was prellominant, end It was only just that they should have represcututives to walth thelr futerests. They amounted in number to one-third of the Democrats, Inthe dlstrict where Kehoe resided the speaker clalm- cd he should have a specisl number of Buper- visors, Condon then wrocceded to denounce tho Democratic party. lie sald the Domocrats would not allow the Greenbackers falr play. He staked his reputation as a man, as & lawyer who had practiced ten years, that he would not have fair play unless o had Buperviscrs sp- vointed of his own political faith. Howasa Greenback and Indepondent candidate, and ho cleimed the same right as a Democrator Repub- liean. Judge Drummond inquired how strong the Greeuback party was at the last election, Mr. Condon sald there wera 17,000 in Iliinols, but not 80 many Io New York and the New En- gland States. Thore woro sevoral. hundred Greenback clubs in the oity, and he candidly believed that one-fifth of the Democracy of Covk County were Greenbackers. The latter woull vote for one of thelr uwn candidates, even though they knew they would be defeated. ‘The Judue asked in how mauy districts the Qreenbackers wanted Bupervisors. ‘The reuly was, In those d!stricts where the Greenback party prevalled, ‘They wanted one- third tho number the Damocrats were entitled to.. Judge Drummond sald the difliculty i the case uruse from the provisions of thoe statute ou electfons. 'Tho Court had s right to apoolat two Supervisors In each precinet. but could only appolnt two. Thosc two were to be of dilferent political parties, Thero had been herctoforo only two partics,—the Republican and the Dem- ocratie,—and tho nominations were made by them respoctively.

But the ltepublicans and Democrats would not agree nd wanted Bupervisors gelocted from anks. But the claim was that a cer- tain number should be appointed In proportion to the Greenbuck elemcut out of the Demo- cratie Bupersisors, hecsuse the Ureenbackurs were goinig 10 tako away votes from the Demo- crats only. Condou—Well, the Republicans will be beaten anyway, uué'a Drammond (dryly)=Well, perhaps o, Gus Van Buren here striick lu. Ile aafd Mr, 4. M. 8hopard had deslred bim to state that hohad uo power or authority to in: or consent to any change or vonceasion to the Greenbackers. ‘Iio Miat of Bupervisors was perfectly satisfae- tory to him and to the rflv_runullnnl ot the Detnocratic party. ke did not think Condun would clajin hut that he would have a falr siow {n the cauvass, Condon—1 do clalm to the contrary, and have positive proof of that fact. ~ Mr, Van Buren suggested that, it Coundon could bave Bupervisors §n the Ureenback fnter- cst,y nurf' party that might be tu the fleld would maxe a ke demand, * Judge Drummond |nr‘u(rcd It there were any other partlies fu the Nold, Mr. Van Buren sald thero wero the Saclalists, the Natinnals, tho Communists, sod the Re- publicaus and Democrats.

BHRFAND here appeared aud bimself disclalmed that he lud any vower to concede anything to the Ureenbackers, The lists were made out and wera all satlsisctory. Mr. Condun excitedly wanted to know whether this party flat should allowed to govern Lhe Court. Thers were 25,000 men who wonld vote for soft monoy. The (reanbackers held Ciarloy Kern and the whule Demoeratic ticket In their hauds, and they dared the Demuverats to opuose them. If they did they would fud sutliclent reasons to change thelr'tactics, A Democrat's principles wero the sume as his Intorcst, Judeo Drumniond sald the law fimposed the duty on tbe Bupervisor of seclng thero was o Infr” count.

The Judge—T don't admit that, Condun—DBut at Jcast u prima fuclo case would b de out agaioat e, ‘The Judgu—That mizht be. Condon then suggested that the watter shiould ho poned untll this mormine, ue be Kuow propos ! sottlenicut would bo comiug from tho Democrats, ws thelr priuciples uud fu- tercats were identleal, ‘The Judge, however, sald he proposed to dis- posu of the matter ot 3 o'clock, and 16 wus postpauced to that hour. Bhortly after 3 o'¢lock, Mr, Condon mads his appenrance dn Judge Drummond’s chambers, and was soon followed by Heary M. 8hepand, dudgo Boyden, Qus Van Burgp, aud other prom? inent Demoerats, There wad un overflow of ro. taluers on both sides,all anzlons to bo inuster- cd nto the worvice of the United States as Deputy Marshols and Supcervisors of Fiection, After a lile chivniog botwesn Messra, Condon uu:} Vuu Buren, Lhe former sddressod the Court, [ ASKED FOR FURTIR DELAY.
