In bolstering tho case up, the stntoment was made that tho du- elsions of 1879 wera not yet in print.- This was part of the shrewd attempt to deccive, as one Democratic paper put if when its au- thenticity was questioned. These cases were tried in Cook County, Illinols, in. May, 1875, and were decided on appeal In October, 1870, inthe United States Supreme Court. TUE DECISION WAS REPORTED in tho newspapers at the time, but, having been .rendered 80 Jate as October Inst, tho volumo of tha Supreme Court reports con- taluing It has not. yet been printed, Tho Chittenden case mentioned never came up to the Supreme Court. There was no case of Burke vs, Childs at the October term of. 1879, The part attributed to Justice Swayne Js an extract from the briof of ex-Seuater Doo- Uitte filed In tho Chittenden case. Even this was garbled. by tho - fabricator the article minister of the’ Gospel. The’ manufacturer was shrewd Snough to know that if he left this expression in it would ut once show that the alleged opinion could nothave originated with any Justices of the Suprome Court. Finally, tho whole history of the Chittenden case, and tho full text of that part of Dou- Uitttlo’s briet from which the above is manu- factured, was printed here In the Washing- ton Post, and showed plainly enough that the part which it js now ATTEMPTED TO PALM OFF ag Justice Swayne's was not his, but 2 portion of the Doolittie brief, When the matter was first. printed with so much dotall, the idea of ita being wholly manufactured did not ob- tain here, and HMigent search was mado for the case and the opinion upon which it was suid to be fowuded. ‘The statement that no such cago was contained in the records was met by tho assertion that it was among the opinions delivered too: Inte for publication in tho last volume of Supreme Court Reports; but finally it has been ascurtained that the whole thine dastardly pleco of campalgn work, Additional evidenca that this matter was deliberately prepared for carapsign material iy tound in the fact that after it has been generally dis- credited hero for two days In the department In ciroular shape, after tt had been printed and reiterated, Mr. McPherson, of the Con- ressional Republican Committee, wrote to the lion.

Martin of Kansas, was ‘dotained at home by the flIness of his wifo, and John 8, Runnells of Iowa, was unavoldably absent at the East on private business, With tho excep- don of a briof intermission for luncheon, tho Comimitteo was in-session all the afternoon, The range of topics under cussion was au exceedingly wide one All tho Westorn and Southern States wero re- viewed one by one, and tho situation in the East, particularly fn Maine and New York, was freely commented on. Most of th yorsation was devoted to Indiana and Ohio, though several of tho other Western States were commented on at length from ® Con- sressional standpoint, Mr. New roported that tho situation {n In- diana was excoddingly hopeful, He felt sat- istled that witha Jittle more than ordinary exertion the State could be carrled quite handsomely for the National ticket. He be- Jieved thatlt was also possible to makea Conressionat xain of onn or two districts, Missourl of a State will not be weaned Democracy this fall, sald Mr, Filley, umacratic majority at the last Presi- dential election was about 30,000, ‘The State had been growing in population during tho past four years, and in the northern tler of counties there was adifferent class of ple. ‘That section was now more thrifty than ever before, and he had hopes of decidud Re- publican gains, ‘The present Congressional delegution consists of thirteen Democrats and one Greenbacker, The Ropublicans had strong hopes of electing two, If nut three, Congressmen this fall, : a Mr, Cooper, on behalf of Ohio, freported that thers was no occasion for alarm over the. outcome on the Presidential question, The State would continua to honor Mr, Garfield firthe future as it had done in the past. He also had hopes of Congressional gains, one certainly; probably two or three, ir.

Durhyg the early afternoon session Collect- or William Henry Smith, Jesse Spalding, A. W.

The invited and the lnviters procec ed arm in arm, to the elul-room, where the members of the National Committee were In- troduced to and chatted with a large ntimber of the prominent members of this new orguni- zation. They. expressed, themselves well plensed with the Club, its objects, Its lnrge membership, and its liberal secommodations, and spent acouple of hours in conversation with those present. There was a natural de- sira on the part of the Club members to obtain’ the opinions of the Committee on the litical outlook, and the Committee, In the course of the two hours’ chat which took the place of any formal program, reported that everything looked partleularly bright for tho success of the Republican party in the coming contest. The members of the Club were especially inter- ested, of course, In Indiana, and the cheer- ing reports which Mr. New. was able to give In tegard to the prospect in that State al- forded ground for congratulation and en- thusinsm. ‘Towards 10- o'clock, after ex- pressing to the Club the plessure which thelr visit had given them, the Committee bade the members good evening ond returned to, Uist hotel. 1 i, eR wing to previous engnecments, Mr. Enos was obliged to return to GViscontin on the evening train, and will not be present at the conference to-day. OFF FOR EUROPE. EX-MINISTER WASHBURNE ON THE SITUA "TION, Having- learned that ex-Minister Wash- burne proposed going abrond for 2 few weeks, a reporter of Tue Trmuxe called upon him yesterday morning at his residence on North LaSalle street. Finding him at his table covered with books and papers, he observed: ‘ You must have a good deal to do”; to which Mr. Washburne replied that he always found enough to take up bis whole tine in one way or. another. He had just read and sent off the proofs of a paper which he had contributed to Seribner’s Magazine on the relations which Thomas Paine held with the French Revolution, and , which would appear in the September number. ‘The reporter then remarked that he un- derstood tae Mr. Washburne proposed go- abroad. ir. Wasttburna replied. that sueh_ was, his intention, and he should sail from New York for Bremen Saturday next. “You will not, then, be with ug,” asked the reporter, * to participate in the Presiden- thil campagne “No, J shall not.be here end of the canvuss, ntil towards the JT shold not leave at all wero not impelled by reasons of- health I have been very much annoyed for two years past with a local trouble,—the bronchitis, While ny genoral health {s guod in every other respeef, am inuch annoyed by this bronch! i Intended to have gone away a month we, 80 us to have had ucouple of months to de vote to the canvass, but the additions and re- pairs Tam making to my house have un- avoldably detained ine, 1 hope to be back in the first days of October, and shall then con- tribute all in my power to the success of the Republican ticket.” : ‘The reporter then ventured to enter upon A POLITICAL CONVERSATION with the ex-MInister, and asked him in the first pluce how he Hked the nomination of Gen, Gariield, “Tam entirely satisfied with it.” “ LT auppose you know hhn well?’ said tho reporter, “T gorved with him In Congress from 1863 to 186, when I went to France.” * He must, then, have had a long service Jn Congress,—nearly, or quite, a3 long as your own ?”” “That isso. We wero both elected nine times in succession,” ia Tauppoae by about the samemajorities ?* “T don't know exnctly what the innjorities of Gen, Garfield were, but I think my own majority in 1860 of 13,571 was o larger Inajor- iy than was ever recelved by any member of Congress In the United States, according to the vote cast”? 3 What are your ideas of Gen, Garfteld 2” “eis a very ablo man, and fora man who has been go long in active political lite, he has unrivaled scholarly attainments, He has had o long experience in public life, and has a full knowledge of the legislation of tho country, and % most oxtended acqualntance — with the public men of the country, which is of Immense avantage.
