Subseguent exnmination showed that o technienl obfee- tlon could havo been ralsed on the want of formality, It nppears that the Governor, in the haste incident to inaking vut the certifi- ente, so that the Senntor could take the first train, used the printed form upon which the comissions for Stute .oficers are made out, and that ho allowed some of the phraseology which suthorized the person lholding the commisslon to recelve emoluments to re- maly;, The telegraphic eredentinls of ML PRYE were received yesterday, but, as some Demo- crats privately gave notico that In thelr can- cus 1t wns declded to object-to the reception of these tetographle credentials, they were not presented.

Speetat Dispateh to Ths Chicags Tridune, Wasmisatox, D, C,, Mareh 17,—This hns been n fleld day in the contest over the United States Maralalship for the Northern Distrlet of Illinols, Yesterday tho oppo- sitlon to Mr. Juney' appointiient was very confident that he would be defeated, but was ulsd very mysterious as to the reasons upon which this confidence was based, As n re- sult of the most diligent Inquliry to-day it Is vossible to lift the mysterlous vell, It ap- pears that Attorney-Genernl MaeVeagl, to whom the cuse was referred by thé Presi- JONES, dent, ond with whom all papers re- Inting to it had been filed, de- clded last night that he would report ndversely to the Iresident upon the applica- tlon for the appointment of Jones, and as a campromise would recommend that Marshal Hildrup be retnined in ofce. It eannot be statedd wpon anthority what the reasons were whleh Induced Mr, MacVengh to come to this conclusion. He s reported to be NOT DISPOSED TO TALK ABOUT IT himself, and ashoe hns been overrnled and the case taken out of his hauds by the Presl- dent he probably will not be disposed to enlighten tho public as to the reasons which eaused him to come to that conclusfon, Thére are, ofy course, all sorts of rumors among the army of Illi- nols ieople here, who, whilo walting for ap- pointments to office, have nothing to do but to gossip and to vry into other people’s busi- ness, The opposition to Mr. Jones was this mornlng extremely confident thnt he would be defeated, and that elther Marshal 1llidrup or some other canaidate, possibly Mr, Wood- cock, of Sterling, or Col. Ellott, of Gen, fenderson's district, would seeure the place, Gen. Logan seems to have been apprised of the apparent unfavorable situntionthls morn- ing, and he took the field enrly for his candi- date, and REPT IT ALL DAY, He called upon the Attorney-General early, when Mr. MacVeagh, for the . first time, Informed Rhtm that he should oppuse the appolntent of Jones, and should recomnend that Marshal IIfldrup be con- tinued In oflice. This wns o surprise to Scnator Logan, a3 the latter had exngeted, or had been led to believe, that Mr. Mue- Veazh would report In Jones’ favor. Sub- sequently Senator Logan ealled at the White House and had an Interview of conslderably mare than an hour with President Garfield, Wit transpired Is not definltly kunown, but it ean bo stated that, ss a result of this futerview, the Dresident dirceted that the papers in the ense shoull be trans- ferred from the Department of Justice TO THE WINTE HOUSE, B and informed Attorney-General MacVeagh thut hie (the President) would settly the ense Limself. Thginference from this, of course, is either thet the President intends to fuvor tho appointinent of Jones, or, If he decldes otherwlise, to nssume all responsibility of the declston nnd relieve Attornoy-General Mac- Veagh of any furthsr consideration of the matter. Atuall events, since that luterview, the friends of Jones are very much more confident of his appointment than they have been ut any tlme during the duy, A telexram wad recelved here to-duy from éx-Sheritt Hoftmann, of Chicago, referring to the aflidavits fled azalust Jones by Hesing, stating that when ho (Hoftmunn) was Sterltl of Cook County Hes- ing was for sgome time under his especlyl supervision as Sherltf, and that if Jones from Loifuiann Tn re- gurd to ki it could be hud,* THE FRIENDS OF MR, JONES now Include Congressman Georze R David’ among thelr most vigorous opponents, 1t appears thut Mr, Dayis, while he has In no sense made an nflinnee with Mr, Far- well, hos suggested 1o the authorities thut u wlse n(ilfjustmonz of tho matter (f no person from the Second District coujd by ap. lmlnxc(l to the place) would be to continue Iitdeap in oftice, Mr, MucVeagh seems to have acted upon Mr, Duvis' suggestiony, or, at least, My, MncVeaph's conclusion was fdentical with the suggestion of Davis, At Farwell’s headquarters to-ntght nothi; init could bo tearned as to the final decision. Mr, Farwoll saw tho DIresident this nfter- noon before Logan did, but he suid that he did not purtiewdurly discuss the Murshalship, St FARWELL had beard that tho supporters of Jones wero very confident of suceess, but he did not himself pretend to know what tho decislon was, ‘Ihiere was a less jubiiant spivit, how- evur, manifested at the Farwell hendynarters thun there was lust night, and the prineipal Lieutenunts, Abner Swith and R.E, Dab- eock, titnot manifest thelr former con- filleneo n Jones? o ‘There have been so mnny contrary rumors refatlve to this ape polutment that - predictions ns to the result would be linzurdous, but IT 13 CERTAIN that Senator Logan expects that Jones will be appointed, and that the case will be set- tled in his favor to-motrow, Farwell nsserts that e hias little personal interest in this con- test; that e does not wish it to be ander- stood that he Is fighting anybody : that he has no quarrel with Mr, Logan, The only point he sitys he undertook to make was thut Jones onght not to he appointed.

This gentleman sald his position was peeuliar. He could have earricd Virglnia, upon a very different plan from that ndopted, and when the facts were all understood it would be elear that e was more of a Repub. lcan that.n Denmiocrat, The Bourbons, by which name the Democrats are known in Virginia, fought him to the lnst. o was further removed from them by thelr own course towards him in Virginia than from the Rupublleans, wito had not shown him any speelal antagonism, further Yhan to maintain a strict party line ngainst hln, so far as they could control thelr voters, many of whom broke away and sustatned himn on the para- mount local fssue. Mahone's object was partly to divide the white vote, and break tha bnek of the Bourbon control, Senator Il was the flttest man In the Senatoto represent the Bourbon spirit, and his course the other dny exemplified the conrse of the party In Yirglula. 'They have always trled to whip him fn, 1118 friends denfed that thers had been any barenin nt the White 1louse or with anybody for the patronage, but he had al-, ready demonstrated that he deserved proper recognitionof the party with which he cast hils vote, and there was no doubt that this would be accorded to him, and not for the sole reason that he held TIE BALANCE OF POWER. Allthe Senators were entitled to be con- sulted by the Admintstration and thelr fellow-~ Senators. ‘Ihe matter of patronage was ns Important an adjunct of Mahone's suceess as of any other mun in the Senato who was en- gaged In o hand-to-hand struggle with bitter enemles, 1n Virglnia o had demonstrated to the Bourbon leaders that e had some vower and foree i leadership. ‘They con- ceded it so far ns tho State was coneerned, clalming that any man‘whe could control the colored vote would have power there, but the entire etffort of the Bourbons had been dirceted Intely towurd wennd white triends and solidifying l:finm agalust him.
