In cerlain quar. ters of the Republican party the hostility to- wards him is groster than it was when ho sold out tho party to give tha election to Juidge Davis, Many of those who now giva Lim their support do sv becuuss thoy have been whipped in, aud would, on the slight. ost proetense, fall out if n Itepublican “‘dark horse” whom the poople would delight to houor wers sprityg upuit th au- cus with any show of flually securing the ,clection. Long Jones aud the other mau. agors of the Indian Chlef claim that ho hos about 80 votes, but it is very diflicult for the most oxpert politician hore to place their fingors on them, It would be much more correct §f his strength were ostimated at about €0, 80 CUNFIDENT, howover, are they of sceyring tho great bolter's success that they seriously contemn- plate forcing a caucns this week, Whother thoy will doso or not time ouly can tell, thouglh at the prosant writing Long Jones is decldedly iu favor of it. Logun refuses to say much on the subject, and simply con. fiues himuolf to the remurk that ho went iu to win, and Is con- fident of tho result, At the Oglesby heedquarters the day was very quiet, The Benator thoroughly understands the tactics of his antagonist, aud, notwitlstand- ing the cluims of tho Intter, pursucs the evon tenor af his way, and is not the least bit dis- couraged, Mis mnungers are quictly at worls, nud what they accomplish they make no bonst of, The gauio of politica is s good doal like the siuful yame of draw.poker, and it doos not always do to play the bluf, THE DEMOCRATS bave arrived at an uuderatanding by which they propose to keop aloof from the fight so loug na it is confined to the present contost~ auty, Should, howover, o respectable minor. ity of tho dominant party refuso to be bound by the result of tho trading and promising that Dave been oing on for tho Inst two months, and particularly duriug the past week, and spring upon tho House a good Republican of ability und standing, they would not hesitate to givo him their xolid support, ‘They will make no trade with the Independents. "Thoy got all thoy wanted of thattwo years ago, ‘Tu-day the Fiat chups thought that, on the ballotiug for the Speaker in the Iouse, Jim Merring. ton, the Damocratio eaudidate, would cast Lis ballot for Frow, but they counted with. out their koat, Herrington voted for Jamos. This afternoon ARTLEY went into the Republican caucus ou the appoiutmeyt of the Senate Commiltvos. He did thns in order to secure the Ohairmanship of a new Coinmittce wade especially for him on (he question of & Labor Burenu. It is stated that tlis action has no political sig- nificunce, but iucertain quarters it is, how. over, whispered that, in an emergeucy, Lo may be relied upon to support Lognn. Blutord Wilson has beeu taking s very aclive intorest in the Henatorial campaign to-day, and there are ramora of certaiu combinations which ho lins made, which, it is stated, will materially ulfock Logau’s chances at the cous clusfon of the informal bullot. What theso combloations are no onu will tell, but itis no secret that » prominent Kopublican from the central part of 1ho State bas a tinger in the pie. It Los agaiu been repested, for the fourth or fifth time, that CHARLEY FARWELL will come fo town to-morrow prepared to g0 for political gors. What he proposvs to get it with no one knows at this tiwme. His wanagers, Jim Root end Ed Filkins, tulk loudly of big possibitities, but it is the gou. eral opinion on both uides of the House that Lis golden opporiunity, if it ever existed, Las passod. Who will be the dwlk horse is a ghosy that will not go down. Ex. cept among the pronounced Logupites his airy presenco is frequontly felt, aud tho question is asked witl wors frequency by the Opposition aud those who are opposud to the wuchine wauipulution cf the party lash. Tie fact is recoguized Ly aoll wuo FRIDAY, JANUARY do not bow in submission befors the Egyptian deity that, should ho be succexstul, then it will be good-by to the party in the State. Those who did not carry trunksin the intoreat of Logan, no matter how much thoy hiave done for the Btato at large, will get nothing. Thoy will be practically read out of the party, and the Literary Buareau will got up the warrant. MR, RIDDLE'S DENTAL, The Inter-Uccan of this dato containg what purporls to be an interview with Mr. George C. Camphell, of Chieago, with the Ifon, Fravk Riddle, tha Senator from the Fourth District, in relation to the defeat of Judgo Lawrenes, in the contest for the United Btater Senatorship two years ago. When Mr. Riddio saw that statement this evoning, it i no exaggerntion to ray that ho was mad. Iappening to fall in with Tue Tripune man about that time, he unbosomed himaelf in tho most emphatic and satisfactory manner: * What have you lo any, Senalor, in 1cln. tion to tho question as to who beat Judge Lawronco two years sinco, as roported in this interviow 7" asked ihe reporter. **8o far as that interview relates to mo,” said the Senator, with a quiver n lLis tones, it is false in general and in detnil. Thore's not a word of truth in it from be. ginning to end, and the story is so nidioulously falsa that I am not willing to believe that Mr, Campbell has evar said to nny roporter, or to anybody elre, snything to that effcct. No Inwyer of lis reputed standing would presumo to moke such a statement in open violation of the facts, and with the rocord of tho joint assembly of two yonrs ago staring him in the face.” 4 Whint about your not being friendly to Judge Lawrenco? " 4 It's the biggest lio of all. On the night of his nomination, having heard from some of his friends that ho was not a candidate, and knowing that he had written to eoveral gen- tlemen at Bpringfiekl, some of them mem- Lens of the Legislature, that ho did not want to be n eandidate under any oircumstances, I wrote n noto to him at the Leland Hotel, which I handed to Mr. Jool D. Ilar- vey to take with him to Chicago to prescnt to Jndgo Lawronca tho pext morning, urg- ing Lim to stand by the uomination, as probably he was the only mam wa could elect, and it looked as if his olection was almost ocortain if he would stand and make the fight. I am surprised that Mr. Campboll should mako ruch n statoment as is here printed, and also surprised that the Juler-Oczan should pub- liah it, The fact is, I was an enthusinstic supporter of Judge Lawrence, aud I would liove been in every wny satisfied with his elootion,” SENATOR RIDDLE, 118 RECOLLECTION OF TOE CONTEST OF TWO YEAIS AGO.

A chapter from the medieval history of that astute politi- clau {9 herewith presented, which will probably set forth some facts not hitherto known fnn very clear and unmistakable light, Thechapter of history referred to relates to events which happened durlng thu protracted benatorial strugels o two years ngo, and the narrator is tho Hon. Franvis A. Riddle, the Scuator fron Cook. Encounterlng that gentleman {u the rotunda of the Letund Hotel to-day, the representative of Tur Trinyxe dewanded the truoinwardness of the contest Lwo years ago, “It o not know what use it could subscrve now," replied the cautious Senstor, “and so wuch has already been sald on that subject thae 1 doubt the exzedieney of saying auything more at the present thue.” “lios the wholo truth ever appeared in print1" asked the reporter, {t never has,” sald Mr. Riddle, “'I'nen the truth of history and an expectant peovle demand (t,”" was the pressing rejoindor, Afier soino further hesitatiou, Senator Riddla ylolded a reluctant consent, and commenced TUR FOLLOWING NANRATIVE: *On Jan, 17, 1877, at the conclusion of the Joint ballot of the House und Senate, upon my motion the Jolut sesston adjourned, ‘There bad been 8 joint ballots, on three of which a1l the Republicaus {u both Houses, including Easton, hud voted for Gen, Logan, and, in addition to the Republican Senators, Buebler, of Cook, who hail been clected us an Independent, had voted three or four times for Lopou. ‘The Republicans who had been disaffected tu- wards Logan, had been assured that upon the secoud or third folnt ballots 1f Logan could get the entiro Republican strength he would ro- celve enough votes from the ovposition to [n- sure s electlon, When the sixth batlot closed it seemned apparent to those who had beencalled unfricudly to ton, Logan that the ussurances he had given [n recard to s clection wero not true. Upon the adjournment on this day in question It was quite evident to certain Repube licang, who were supposed to be somewhat dig- affected to Logau, that bis hopes for strenuth trum the opposition sulliclent to clect bim wers eltber visionary or YOUNDED UPON PALSE PRONISEZN, It was thought best, after tho udjournment on that day, to call together u cuucus of tho Re- publlean purty, which met in tho ladles’ ordinary of the Leland Hote, to which ult the Republic- ans were juvited, and at which all the Republice an mewbers of both branclies of the Leeislaturo were present, and I think Benator Bucbler, lu addition, was thse, At that caucus the question of the success af Logun was discussed, as well as the uttitude of certaln members of the Revublican party who had retnained out of the caucus at which (ien, Logon was nomfuated, It was then stated by the fricuds of Gen. Logan that be desired to meet thoss wmembers of the party who bad re- mained out of the first caucus, whotm b sup- posed to be unfriendly to him, for the purpose of having a conversation and an opportunity of showing them that his chauces of success were such that no reasonable man would doubt his election it the Repubiicans were upited fu bls supuort, 3 *This discussion resuited jn the appolntment of a_committes conslsting of Easton, Roache and Buebler (1 tbiuk), topking, sud wyselt to confer with Gen, Logan and bear bis statemcut in regord to the probabilitivs of bis clection, "This Committeo met Logsu in & room st the Leland Hotol in 8 fricudly way, and ho etated that he had been uwable to understand why suy lepublicau should be unfriendly: to him, - and that & had the kindest fecling towards all ghe Repub- leans of thoe Legislature, and bis sole objoct and deslre was the success of a Republican notnee, aod that i€ It becanie upparent that bo was nut the wan to succeed fo this yaco, HE WOULD WILLINOLY LRTIuE, and abaudou tho feld to suy other Repub- fican {n the State who wizbt vuite sullicleat strength to sceure the eleetion; that be bad no unfricndly fecliug towards suv of the gentle~ en who bad bren named tu suy way fo connec- tion with the Senatorialcontest. But be clalingd, Iuuswuel o8 he was substautialiy the uvani- 10, mous choice of the Republicans of the Legisla- ture to be bis own successor fu the United States Scnate, and he thought it but fair to him that he should have the undivided supmort of every Republican in the Leglslacure as long o8 there was any reasonable prospect of his elec- tion. “ He aasured this Committee that If he eould have the undisided support of the Repnblicans Iis sucucss vas certain, He sufd he had can- vassed the matter tnoroughly; that e knew tha situatfon of tho opposition, and was fully advised of jall their movements aud all thelr de. sires; thna the principal object they desired was n division among the Itepuilicans: and that whenover they saw that the Republiean party united sith a solid front in his support, that, upon the happening of two evuuts which were probable, he would surcly secure from the oppositivn & suflicicnt uutimber of Yotes to elect lim. * Ila stated to that Committee tbat he knew from Ihe beat soutces, aud had the most posi- tive assurance, that, If the Independont Hena- tors and members of the House who were at tbat time supportine Mr, Anderson, should liccome convinced that there was no orospect of the election of Anderron,—that when they abandoned him as a randidata for the senate, he (logan) would certalnly recclve from the members of the so-called Itndependent party in the Bennte enough votes to secura hia election; and that, on the other hand, his suc:ess did nat dcpend entirely upon the apandoninent by the Independents of Anderaon, but that if the Democrats became convinced tha there was no chance for THR BUCCRSS OF GOV. PALMER, and abandoned his support, that he (Logan) wos then assured by certain friends of his who were Democratic membors of .Be Lezistature thot they would'rally to his eupport {r such a way at least as to make his clection curtain. 4 Tho mombers of that Committee all express- cd o deslre to serurc, first, the suc, ess of the Re- ‘publican party; that, whilesome of them might not personally prefer Gen. Loran, they pre- ferred the success of the Repulllean party to the success of auy man 1n the partv. This was a fricndly snd confidential conversation. “ Tho resuit was ‘ & nuitiia¥ <wiedge betweon Gon.

Easton and Gen, Logan, “I'his srreement was carcled out in good falth and without question on tho. part of the men who.had been supposed to bz unfricndly 1o Logan's electlon as Scustor, until at Jeast tirenty-seven jolnt ballots had been cast. “ Prior to that time the fodependents had . abandoned Mr. Andereon, and the Democrats had abandoned Qov. P'almer, hut stih Gen, Logan recelved no votes from efther the Inde- pendents or Democrats. After the adfourn- ment succeeding the twenty-tigith joint ballot, it was apparent to two-thirds, aud brobubly to threc-fourths, of tho Republicans of the Lugls- Tatitre that GEN.

PEW DEVELOPMENTS, Special Dispateh to The Tribune, Wasmxaron, D. C., Jau. 9,—There are no new deveiopments in the Blodgelt case. Proctor Knotz tried to call the Judictarv Com- mittee logether Jast maht, hut was unsuovess- ful. A meeting was to have beeu held to-day todecide whetker a sub-committee should be sent to Chicago, but owing to the adjournment for the funcral ceremonfes of Representative Hartridge, it was not practicable to bold a meeting. It fs probable that theru will be one to-morrow morning, when the subject wilt bo finally determined. The mem- bers of the Judiclary Committee and Congress- tnen who know about the subject are not agrecd a4 to tue expediency of rending & sub-commit- tee to Chicaro. Bume of Biodgett's persoual frienda tu Cougress who are not miembers of the Judlclary Comumnitiee urcearnest in their proteat that the entlro inguiry should be cunducted bere. St lsnoticeable that the versous who give cxpresafon to these uplnivns are those who Lave for the most part RIDICULED THE CHARGES, snd who declaro that there is uvothing in the whole business except tho malics of some youmr men. On the contrary, the Represeuta- tives who from the outeet have appeared to be anxious for an juvestigation ure equally earvest that a committes should be sent to Chicago, Carter Harrlson thinks this ls indispensable, and that thin fuvestigation here would be of litle consequance at this period in the seselon, and with the vresunt condition uf business Lefore the Judictary Committee, and the preocenpas tivn of the different members of that Come nilttee, It has been impossible to obtaln expressions of opinlun from the Committecmen themselves, A few, howaver, have expressed views to the following effect: Proctor Kuutt Is very doubtful of the possibility of sending 2 committes there. Btenger fnclines 1o the vplulon that It wny con- sldcrabie number ol witnesses are to be ex- umined, a committee should go there, Conger, who hay just arrived, appears to think that Washington ia THE PROVER PLACE for the fovestigation. Conger has recefved a numbier of letters from friends of Judge Blod- wett tn regard to the whole subject, snd evl dently {8 well faformed as to the Blodiett vide of the cage. Frye, of Malne, thinks o comuit- tee will to Chicago, and he would himscll be ulnd to be rolievod of service on the Jobuny Davenport Committee in New York to which he has been nssigned, and to o with the Cinicago Cummittee. ‘ThyNew York fuvestization would be uecessarily political, and the gogle Repub- lican member upon ft would have n preat deal of haraesiug and tronvlesome work to do. 1t 14 atated that Blodgetl's ftlemls huve fodl- cated their destre that T slusild represcot the Republicans tu the Bub-Comudttue, By Blodgett’s friends it Is probably tu be un- dorslocad that Cougressnen, mure especially Mesars.

Cannon is now dirccting his efforts to have the Admin- isiration take a position that the decision shall. he regarded as prospective, sud shall not be en- forced as to existing Mormon marriagzes, Tho argument made s that, I the decision sball now. be vigorouely enforced, it witl bringz desolation nto many hunest homes, as even the enemies of. polygamy inust admit that there are many sin- cere bellevers in Mormonlsm, and that to en< torce this law woult CAUSE INDEACRIBABLE SUPFZNING, and bring ruin to many worthy peopte. It s further argued that the law has always been re- garded In the Territory as a dead letter, and that Mormous had o fegitimate right to so consider it on account of thy fnertness of the Gavernment, and the fact that no prosecutions were thade or attempted under it In vlew of these and other considerations, the Administra- tion will be strongly nrged to declde nos to enforce the declsion except with re- rpret to polygamous marrlages that may be herealter cunteacted, Cannon has siready called the uttention of the President ona mem- bers af the Admiutstration to this view of tha casc, and it {s probavle that some influential Congressman will yoluntcer to support Apostle Cannon In his efforts to BECURR TIS DECISION, Snoutd such & polley be udopted {t, would be equivsient to declaring that Mormonism should be tolerated during the lifetime of Mormons now llsing, hut that no more polyzamous mar- rlages can be contracted, and that with this gencration that portfon at least of the religlous belief and practices of the Mormon Chureh must be abandoned. Of course it will be urged, on the other hand, that the officers of the Goverement wno are sworn to exceute the laws must exccute them ns loterpreted by the United Rtates Supreme: Court, nnd that they must have no more discrimination ss to polyg- amy fn Utal than they could es to bimamy In the District of Columbia, or sny of the Lerri toren. “The question Is surrounded with mans duifenities, and will undoubtedly svon receive the muture cunsideration of the Cabloet, THE INDICTED.
