GARFIELD'S INTENTIONS, Speetat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, Wasittnaton, D. 0. Dec. 27,—Some Demo- cratic simplotons claim to know that Gon, Garflold proposes to make war upon sonio of the leaders of his party, and that lie has ar- ranged with Prestdant Tayes to do the pro- Iminary work for him by declining to reap: pointsome of thefriends of those leaders whosv commistong are about to expire, The name of Senator Conkling is especially men- tioned, and tho story Is that Huyes, nt Gar- ficld’s request, has decided not to reappoint United States District-Attorncy Stewart L, Woodford or United States Marshal Payne, both frionds of Conkling. These ofll- cers are commissloned for four yenrs, and President Hayes needed no suggestion from President-elect Garileld that whon the commissions of Federal officers expire ho should cither recommission them or at least appoint their successors, THERE 18 ANOTIER BIDE to this story which may attract some atien- tlon before the successors of Woodford and Payne shalt bo confirmed. This is that President Inyes does not like the leaders of tho Republican party In New York, and that ho selects this way to punish them, and even goes so far, notwithstanding hls Ciyil-Serv- ice position, as to remove experienced ofilcers without any charge, and to appoint inexpe- rienced men in their places. Some of tho Senators say Blaine Is to be Secretary: of State, and Filey, of Missourl, Postmaster- Genoral under Garfiald. C. W. MOULTON, brother-in-law of John Sherman, who {s here secelving his Instructions preparatory to leaving to take charge of the Sherman cam- patgn at Columbus, stutes that he has heard ft positively asserted in quarters whero the Information should be correct that Bialno Is to be Secretary of State. It is said by those who ought to know best, however, that Mr. Blane is preparing for a European tour of eight months, leaving this country in March, and returning next Novom- ber. He would go In - February it it were not for tho close vote in the Sonate after March 3, AN AUPANENTLY AUTHENTIO STATEMENT is tothe effect that Mr. Blaino will join his friend, tho Hon. Willinm Walter Phelps, in Tome, as carly in the spring as possible. Mr. Phelps is now in Italy, and itis known thathoe hns been expecting Mr. Blaine and another friond to jon him in the spring. DE LESSEPS’ SCHEME, FRENCH IDEA AS TO THE PUNCITASABLE g CHARACTER OF AMERICANS, Spectat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune. Wasuinatox, D.C., Dec. 27.—Capt. Phil’ ips, one of the manngers of the Nicaragua Canal scheme, speaking of De Leasops to- day, said both his relation to, and his stand- ing In, his Company, are misrepresented. “Thave Jately recelved telegraphic and othor advices from Paris, some of which aro hu- millating to measan American. it is openly asserted by the promoters of the De Lesseps scheme in Paris that there need bo no further fenr of Amorican opposition, Itis given out that the Amerlean Minister of Marine, ono of tho constitutional advisers to the President, hns been won over by an office In tho Company and o salary of $25,000 yenrly. ‘The impression Js erented that should tho services of othor of- ficers In the Cabinet, or tavorable legislation In Concregs bo needed, it can be bought for money. Ina word Fronchmen are assured that no opposltion to De Lessons’ scheme in tho United States can prevallagainst the uso ofinonoy,”” “ Frenchmen aro told,’ contin- ued Capt. Phelps, ‘that largo subscriptions to the Panninn scheme are being made in the ‘United States, and that Mr. Thompson haa been made President in order that he may reprosent tho Intorests of the American shircholders, ‘Tho real truth {8,09 faras I can ascertain, that no actual bona fide sub- soriptions tothe Panama scheme have yot been nade in the United States. Amorican bankers, I understand, did not take a single share.” ARMY FOLKS, STILL EXCITED, Bpretal Dispatch to Tha Chteago Tribune, Wasuinatox, D. C., Dec, 2%,—Thero is much interest In army circles over the recent end prospective changes and retirements, The persons whose retirements are expected. are making desperate efforts to retain their places, Friends of Fitz John Porter, too, will make zealous efforts to pass his bill through the House, for they well know that Gon. Garfield, who was a member of the Court of Inquiry which sentenced Fitz John Porter, and which nearly ordored him to be shot, would never restore him ,to tho army if tno matter rested In his discretion, Portor’s friends claim to haveassurances from Unyes that the Iatter would restore him, A recent examination of the actlye Nat shows that there Is now ono officer for about ovory thirty men, Thoroare twenty-nine officers now on tha Ist above the retiring age, GEN. HOWARD, ” since his designation to West Point, indl- cated the course which he should pursue as Commander of the Academy, His own ex- perlence as n cadet was unpldasant, Ho was ostracised, or “sent to coventry,” for nearly two years by his class, of which Curtis Len Wasthe leader, Howard’s offense was in’ the “recognition of his guardian’s son 48 6 social equal, who was then & Sergeant in tho corpse = of engineers stationed nt West Point.

Saturday, as may be readily Imagined, was the gloomicst hollday ever experienced by Napoleon. There was NOBODY TO SAY “MENNY CHRISTMAS.” ‘The occurrence has naturally revived many stories of ex-Gov. Scott's exciting adventures, especially in South Carolina and elsewhore, and some of them were recounted your cor- respondent to-day, It is known by many that South Carolina had him indicted after hig returr from there, A number of infiu- ential citizens of Napoleon went to Colum- bus to anticipate and ward off the effects of a requisition, which, {t was expected, would be made for him. But the requisition was nover heard from. It was either never sent up or was suppressed by some . means, But, although the Goyernor was connected with some odious, and perhaps dubious, transactions, leading citizens of Napoleon speak kindly of him, and are {nelined to par- tially excuse himas the tool of other and more deeply-desixning parties, It was hu Who was alleged to have'transported TUE SKAT OF THE STATE'OF SOUTH CARO- MINA to New York, and, under unusual pressure, signed numerous “thousand-dollar bonds,” Among the {nfluences exerted, It’ fs elnfined that, in an elegant ‘suite ot rooms in a first-class hotel, of that city, were tho arguments of fntrig- ing politicians, the blandishments of a pretty actress and singer, and plenty of champagne, YESTERDAY ‘ was very quict and orderly in town, com- pared to the day previous, but I find that the ‘strong feellng which aot first set in against Goy. Scott, ling merely subsided, not passed away. This lins been aggravated by the fact that the Governor passed by the fallen body of Drury and tuok his son ton hotel without paying any attention to the decensed. But tho’ principal cause of the feeling was the fact | of the Governor’s wealth and influence, and many oll and substantial cltizonsof the town and country are declaring in exeited manner that the prisoner will be able to buy his way out. Iowever, others suggest that the Goy- ernor could have closed up the drug-store Immediately after the shooting, and with horse and buggy got away to Canada before the affalr woultl have been discovered noxt morning, or, {€ he had not said anything Aboutit, thera would have been no direct evidence agninst hin, TUR LATTER YOINTS are in favor of the Governor, who was will- Ing and anxious to appear before the Coroner on Saturday, but hls attorneys attvised not, Proliminary hearing was set for to-day, and when tho case was first callud In tho afternoon it was seen that tho: examination was to be thorough and exhaustive, Thoob- ject of the defenso was to havo ball ar- ranged for.
