WHAT THEY SAY IN REGARD TO THE PO- LITICAL SITUATION. President Grant was interviewed by a New York Herald correspondent on bis re- torn to Washiogton on Saturday morning He is represented as saying that in the so- lution of the present situation “everything sepends upon a fair count.” In regard to the charge of corruption aud fraud made against the republicans by their politica! opponents, the President sald: —* Politicians in the south may instigate all sorts of atro- celtics, and even be parties tothem to tue extent of committing murder, and nothing 8 fairness in elections, according to the law- ful plan, is insisted yo, great complaint is mace and there Is a charge of unfairness.” The President says his action in invitinga number of gentlemen to visit New Orleans was based upon a compliance with the re- quest of Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, made some days ago, that the leading mea of both mpm sheuld be asked to go toNew Orleans in order to give their presence to a fair count of the vote, so that there should not be any doubt or cayiling hereafter. It was not cone as a counter movement to that of the democrats under the call of their po- litical managers, which latter action, how- ever, he unders' ‘was in compliance with Crisis tv European Affatrs.

The last three hard years have brought many of them toserious hardships.

The same correspondent relates an inter- view with Secretary Chandler, who, whea questioned regarding the Presidential coutro- Versy, said, wita great seriousness, “Hayes is elected, but the result will depend on the cowuting of the vote of Louisiana.” Being further asked as to what would be the result eventually, be replied, “It is mpage and you can guess as well as [ can.” He is quite worn out with his labors in New Yor! tbink highly, bad coue more the result might have be different.

It will be remembered that Tom Alien, tue prize fighter, was arrested by the Kentucky suthorities immediately after his fight with Goss, and held to ball in the sum of 3,000 for his appearance on the 29th of this month, to stand trial for violating the laws of that commonwealth by engaging in a prize fight. His bondsmen, the Farre)l brothers, getting wind of Allen’s intention to give them the slipand scud for Australia, put detectives on bis track, and he was overhauled in Chi. cagoon Friday last. His chums, Jem Mace, Barney Aaron. and Mike McDonald, tried hard to rescue him, but the detectives man- aged to get him to the office of the chief of police, and then before the police judge, who put bim under bonds in the sum of $1,000 as a fesitive from justice to answer to the state of Kentucky.
