THE REroRTED BROOKLYN Custom House DE- FALCATION.—The reports that a defalcation ex- ists in the accounts of the late Collector Free- land, of the Brooklyn (New York) district, are not credited at the Internal revenue bureau. A number of the stub-books of the late collector (who is deceased) are still in the hands of Mr. Baron, who was his deputy collector, and who was in charge of the office. These books if re- turned would balance the account. It is be- Heved that Mr. Baron has simply through ne- glect falied te make a return of the books. The mystery involved will be solved within the next twenty-four hours by a revenue officer specialiy Getailed to look into the matter. PRESIDENT Hayes, his wife, and his son Webb, arrived at Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, and proceeded to the residence of their kins- man, Gen. J. G. Mitchell, where a number of personal friends called on them. ‘The Presi- ent and wife spent Sunday quietly, attending church. In referring to his contemplated trip to California, the President says if he goes at allit will be as late as September, his idea being to reach Sacramento in time ‘to attend the state fair, about the middle of that month.

THE WHEELER StryEY.—In order to facilitate, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1351, the operations of the geographical survey of the territory of the United States west of the 100th meridian, in charge of Capt. Geo. M. Wheeler, corps of engineers, prosecuted in accordan‘e with act of Congress, the quartermaster’s de- partment will continue payment for rent of the Papers now occupied by the Washington of- ce, and for fuel and gas for the same, and for fuel for the Observatory at Ogden, Utah terri- tory; also, furnish transportation for assistants and field instruments and all other property between Washington and the Observatory at Ogden and other storage points in the field, and to all points necessary to be visited In counec- tion with the preparation and pubilcation of maps ane reports and the final disposition of all public property whatsoever. including the (ransportation of the same to all points of final disposition, and express charges upon the usual small amounts of public property which tt may be impracticable to transport as freight. THE HoWGATE EXPgpITION AGAIN.—The See retary of War has refused to grant discharg: to the solders who came here from the north- west to go on the Howgate expedition, and has ordered them back to thelr pusts. fe did noi feel authorized to ailow the soldiers to go ona leaking ship, He has granted a year’s leave of absence to Lieuts. Dow and Doane, who siy they will take advantage of this leave to go in the Gulnare. The report given abroad that Sec- retary Thompson has placed obstacles in the way of Captain Howgate ts erroneous. It was the intention of the act ot Congress that the Gulnare should be accepted by the Navy depart- ment. There was the responsibility upon t! Secretary that she should come up to the stan: ard vessels of the navy. ‘This she did not do, and the Secretary could not accept her. The Guinare {s a British bottom, and no act has been passed granting her an American register. She Will be authorized as a private enterprise to fly the United States ie She will have to sail under English colors if any at all, and cannot Lall upon the government for protection should she need ft. Later.—The question of the Gulnare flying the American flag was referred to the Attorney General, and he has dectded that she can float the Stars and Stripes. If Capt. Palmer, who ts to command the vessel, arrives here in time, the Gulnare will sail this evening. She wili steam from here to St. Johns, where she will take in coal for the voyage, and then go under Sail. She will stop at Hasifax to take on board members of the ex} ition, who will not board her here. Permission has been received from the British government to use the stores left at Melville Bay by Capt. Nares’ expedition. The stores left by the Polaris will also be utilized. It is estimated that fifteen men can be subsisted on these stores for two years. Stores keep without injury in that region for years. Lieutenant Low, of the army, will re- malb in oat of the station to be established in Lady Franklin Bay, while Lieutenant Doane will return with the Gulnare. Most of the ex- edition, outside of the capiain and crew, will Jon the ship at Halifax. The army officers, Cap- tain Palmer and the crew all express confidence in the entire safety of the vessel. There will be quite a crowd to see the Gulnare off. FOUR MEMBERS OF THE UTE COMMISSION, Hon. Geo. W. Manypenny, Mr. Russell, Mr. Bowman and Colonel Meacham, have been to-day In con- sultation with Secretary Schurz regarding the discharge of the duties upon which they expect immediately to enter. They leave for the west to-night, and will meet first in Denver apd afterwards proceed to Los Pinos Where they will be joined by Mr. Otto Mears, the remaining member of the commission.

At a meeting of the New York del a, he'd ®t the grand Hotel, Cincinnati, last ae Daniel Manning as chairman and S. B. Halll- aay as secretary, Mr. Peckham read the follow- ing letter from Samuel J. Tiiden: “NEW YORK, June 18, 1S80.—To the delegates from the State of New York to the democratic Bational convention: Your first assemb.ing is an occasion on which it ts proper for me to state to you my relation to the nomination for the presidency. which you and your associates are commissioned to make in behalf of the demo- cratic party of the United States. Having passed my earlier years in an atmosphere filled with traditions of the war which secured our national in nee, and of the struggles which made our continental system a govern- ment for the people, by the people, I learned to idolize the institutions ef my country, and was educated to believe {t the duty of a citizen of the republic to take his fair allotment of care and trouble in public affairs. I fulfilled that duty to the best of my ability for forty years as a private citi- zen. Although ‘during all my life, giving at least as much thought and effort to public af- airs as to all other objects, I have never ac- cepted official service except for a brief period for a special purpose, and only when the ocea- sion seemed to require of me that sacrifice of ae preferences to public interests. My life has been substantially that of a private clt- izen. It was, I presume the success of efforts in which, as a private citizen, I had shared to overthrow a corrupt combination, then holding dominion in our metropolis, and to purity the Judiciary, which had become its tool, that in- duced the democracy of the state In 1874 to nom- inate me for governor. Thts was done tn spite of the protests of a minority that the part I had borne jn those reforms had created antagonisms fatal tome asa candidate. J felt constrained to accept the nomination as the most certain means Of putting the power of the guber- hatorial office on the side of reform, and of,removing the impression wherever tt pre- vailedthat the fatthtul discharge of one’s duty as a citizen ts fatal to his usefulness as a public servant. The breaking up of the canal ring, the better management of our public works, the large reduction of taxes and other reforms accomplished during my administration, doubt- less occasioned my nomination for the presl- dency by the democracy of the Unton in the hope that similar processes would be applied to the federal government. From the responst- bilities of such an undertaking, appalling as it Seemed to me, I did not feel at liberty to shrink. In the canvass which ensued the democratic party represented reform in the administration of the federal government and a restoration of our complex political system to the pure ideas ofits founders, Upon these issties the people ot the United States, by a majority of more than a quarter ‘of a million, chose a majority of the electors to cast thelr votes” for the democratie candidate: for President and Vice-President. Tt js my right and privilege here to sa; that I was nominated and elected to tae presi dency absolutely free from any engagemen® in respect to the exercise of tts powers or the dis- posal cf its patronage. Through the whole period of my relation to the presidency I did everything in my power to elevate and nothing to lower moral standards tn the competition of parties. By what nefarious means the basis jor a false count was laid in several of the states I need not recite. These are now matters ot history about which, whatever diversity of opinion may have existed in either of the great parties of the country at the time of their consummation, has since practically disap- peared. I refused toransom from the return- ing boards of southern states the documentary evidence, by thesu; Posen of which and by the Substitution of fraudulent aud forged papers a es ext was made for the perpetration of a eount. The constitutional duty of the two houses of Congress to count the electoral votes as cast, and to give effect to the will of the le as expressed by theirsuffrages, was never fulfilled. An electoral commission, for the existence of which I have no responsibility, was formed, and to it the two houses of Congress abdicated their duty to make the count by a law enacting that the count of the commission should stand as ‘inal,unless overruled by the concurrent action of tLe two houses. Its false count was not overrule ', owing to the complicity of a republican Senate With the republican majority of the commis- sion, controled by its republican majority of S to7. The electoral commission counted out the neu elected by Ube people and counted in the MeN uot electéd by the people. That subversion of the election created a new fssue for the de- cision of the people of the Untted States, trans- cending In importance aH questions of adminis- tration, It tuvolved the vital principle of seif- i y the people. he immense growth of the means of cor- rupt intiuence over the ballot-box which ts a the disposal of the party having ssion of the executive administration had already be- come a present evil and a great danger, tending to make elections irresponsible to public opin- ton, hampering the power of the people to change their rulers,and enabling the men hold- ing the machinery of government to continue and perpetuate their power. “It was my opinion in 1376 that the opposi- tion allempting to change the administration needed to inciude at least two-thirds of the vo- ters at the opening of the canvass in order to retain a majority at the election. If after such obstacles had been overcome, and a majority of the people had voted to change the adininis- tration of their government, the men tn oflice could still procure a false count founded upon frauds, perjury and forgeries, furnishing a pre- text of documentary evidence on which to base that false count,-and if such a transaction were hot only successful, but if, after allotments of ils benefits were made to its contrivers, abet- tors and apologists by the chief beneficiary of the transactions, it were condoned by the peo- ple, @ practical destruction of elections by the people would have been accomplished. “ The failure to install the candidates chosen by the people, a contingency consequent upon ho act Or omission of mine and beyond my con- trol. has thus left me for the last three years, and unl now, when the democratic party, by its delegates in national convention assembled, Shall choose a new leader, the tuvoluntary but necessary representative of this momentous issue, as such denied the immunities of private {ite without the powers conferred by public sta- Uon, subject to unceasing falsehoods and calum- nies from the partisans of an adminigtration laboring in vain to justify its existence, “I have nevertheless, steadfastly endeavored ‘oO preserve to the democratic party of the United States the supreme issue before the beople for their decision next November, Whether this shall be a government by the sover- eign people through elections, or a government by discarded servants holding over by force and fraud; and I have withheld no sacrifice and neglected no opportunity to uphold, organize ahd consolidate against the enemies of repre- sentative institutions the great party which alone. under God, can effectually resist thetr overthrow. “Having now borne falthfully my full share of jabor and care in the public service, and Wearying in the marks of {ts burdens, I desire nothing so much as an honorable discharge. I wish to lay down the honors and tolls of even quasi party leadership, and to seek the repose Of private life. “In renouncing a renomination for the presi- dency I do so with no douht in my mind as to the vote of the state ot New York or oft the United States, but because I believe that it is a renunciation of re-election to the presidency. ‘To those who think my nomination and re-elec- ton indispensable to an effectual vindication of the right of the people to elect their rulers, vio- lated in my person, I have accorded a3 long a reserve Of my decision as possible, but I cannot overcome my repugnance to enter into a new eeneement which involves four years of cease- toll. ~The dignity of the presidential office isabove a merely personal ambition, but it creates in me ho illusion; its value is as a great power for gocd tothe country. I said four years ago,in accepting the nomination: ‘Knowing as therefore, from fresh ex, nee, how it the var oe coe of & ~ It oe y the countrymen to attempt this work I endeavor, with resented, Iremain your fellow-citizen, oe z “SAMUEL J.

Review of the Situation To-day. CINCINNATI, O,, June 21.—The real preliminary ‘work of the convention begun to-day. Most of the delegations, all of whom are now here, held meetings to discuss the question of candidates and to agree upon the incidental subordinate ofMicers of the convention and of membersof the national committee. A Variety of Views as to Mr. Til- den’s Letter—Is it a Bid for the Nomination? ‘The letter of Mr. Tilden which was read to the New Ycrk delegation last night, has been thoroughly discussed. and a variety of opinions prevail. Although It is a carefully labelled “et ter of declination,” a many regard it asa bid for the homination” ‘The Tilden men in the ‘New York delegation are greatly puzzled what todo with it. The document has certainly im- proved Tilden’s prospects in the south. But the general belief is that his name will not be pre- sented to the convention. Views of the Cincinnati Papers. The morning papers here take different views ofit. The Zvjwirer this morning says that “it now remains for the convention to be as un- Selfish as panes and as ‘al of the suc- cess and harmony of the democratic party as Mr. Tilden has shown himself in his letter.” The Gazette thinks he is still in the race and ‘will be balloted for in the convention. The Commercial is doubtful over the meaning of the letter, and says that tt enlarges rather than removes the embarrassments of the dem ocrats, Working up the Booms—No Candi- date so Far who can €ontrol One- third of the Convention. ‘The result of the meetings to-day show that there is no organization in the interest of any candidate that amounts to the control of one- third of the convention. Mr. Bayard has a few solid delegations but ng more than Gen. Han- cock, and neither has much strength among the divisions of the others. Other candidates like Payne, of Ohio, have no full delegations to Support them, though he Is urged by nearly all of the Tilden interest. eS Field has an ac- lve working organization that claims to have “made since Saturday inroads in all directions. This and the Tilden organization appear to be the only ones that have any head. A State of Doubt'and Fear. The fact is, that the absolute withdrawal of Seymour, followed by the almost unexpected Withdrawal of Tilden, have thrown all of the dclegations Into a state of doubt and fear. Seymour Out of the Field. The hope was earnest that Seymour would accept and be nominated on the first ballot by acclamation, and thus solve the situation, but is candidacy in all of the delegations this morning was reluctantly abandon: Mr. Tilden’s Attempt to Name the Candidate Embarrassing the Del- exates. Mr. Tilden’s attempt to name the candidate from Ohio has embarrassed the delegates more than if his Own name should be submitted, for there is a general unwillingness to transfer the entire presidential contest to Ohio in October. Working Against Payne. There has been earnest work therefore since yestesday to defeat Payne, and the Ohio dele- gates have been relied upon to help secure it. Itis openly, roclaimed that he could not defeat, Garfield in Ohio in October; that he 1s support- ed by such powerful monopolies as the Stand- ard Oli Co.; that he has not even been consist- €nt on the financial question, and that in fact he could not make as & run a3 Thurman. On the other hand, it {s claimed that he is the only man who could carry New York in No- vember, provided a new York candidate is out of the question, The New York delegation dis- cussed Payne’s candidacy again to-day, and did not meet much enthusiasm. It 1s doubtful if half of the delegation can be united on him. Bayard and His Speech in 1861. ‘There was considerable talk in the southern delegations about Bayard, but a good deal of Umidity was exhibited over his Dover, speech in 1861, which his friends claim will not affect him inthe least. Printed copies of it are here to show that it was in the interest of peace at a time when leading men ta both parties thought peace was possible and preferable to war. Senators Hampton and Butler, Belmont and other leaders are veay earnest in his sup- Port, and If they can unite thesouth New York's Support is not improbable.

Henry Watterson, on being asked if Tilden’s letter Was a positive withdrawal, said: “I con- siderdt for precisely what ttis—an unselfish Statement of the situation and an unreserved presentation of Mr. Tilden’s own relation to that situation. But for the concern which Mr. Tilden bas had for his own immediate friends notably for Mr. Randall and myself, this letter would have been promulgated months ago. | ‘This fully confirms a_ speci atch to Tar | Stak from New York in March last that Tiklen | had decided to withdraw and would write just | such a letter as published this morning. “Mr. Watterson, who fs very close to Tilden, does not have much faith in the transfer business. He | also : “Indeed, this whole talk of transfer to Payne is illusory and absurd. Ina moment | of weariness and disgust Mr. Tilden asked Mr. Randall, as a young and active and ardent friend, Having ‘the vigor to make a good fight, to take his place and relieve him of further care. He offered Mr. Randall his blessing and, what was to the purpose, his substantial sup- ‘ort. Mr. Randall refused, declaring that after Ir. Tiiden he bad no second choice. He ex- pressed the belief that there could be no trans- fer of strength, and that there ought not to be. This ended all thoughts 1n that or in any other direction, and in the present business Mr. Til- den bas consulted his conscience and his wishes and has bowed hituself out of a most ungraterul | complication. Talked of Candidates. The following candidates outside of pledged obligations are talked of: Potter, Hewitt and Pratt, of New York; Palmer, Morrison and Trumbull, Illinois; Parker, Randolph and Gen. McClellan, of N. + Randall, of Pa; English and Ingersoll, of Conn. The Crowd, The first evidence of a crowd appeared to- day, the streets being blocked In several places by the arrival of clubs. The Philadelphia club made a handsome appearance and were warmly cheered. Thurman’s Campaign. | Mr. Thurman was formally put in the fleld at noon. His headquarters were opened at the corner of 4th and Walnut streets, and his ban- ners flung to the breeze. John G. Thompson says he ‘is now the only candidate who can carry Ohio. Is Tilden In or Out of the Race? Senator Barnum, chairman of the national | committee, says he does not consider ‘Tiiden though he is an ardent Tilden | Hendricks to Withdraw. A telegram from Indianapolis to a member of the Kentucky delegation says that Hendricks will follow Tilden with a letter declining to have his name used before the convention. ‘The Clai of this District and the ‘Territories to Vote in the Con- vention. Messrs. Dickson and Wilson, of the District delegation, appeared before the national com- mittee at noon and urged the ciaims of the District and of the territories for representa- ton by votes upon the floor of the convention. ‘Tue committee took the request under consid- eration and will probably refer it to the con- vention. - Pennsylvania Delegation Polied. The Pennsylvania delegation polled 2 for Randall, 18 for Hancock, and 10 for Bayard. Louisiana for Hancock. The Louisiana delegation met at 10 am. and voted for Hancock. Maryland Solid for Bayard. The Maryland delegation, which came here uninstructed, at their meeting this afternoon. decided to vote solid for Bayard. Nilden’s Resignation Accepted “with Regret.” The delegations later—after fully digesting Tilden’s letter—have taken him at what they regard his word, and very generally decided that his name shall not be presented to the con- vention th any shay The New York delega- The ‘ernment Fish Commivions Newrorr, R. 1..

SantTaRy REFORM IN MEMPHIS.—Sungeon General Hamtiton, of the marine hospital ser- | vice, returned to the city last evening. He has been to Memphis as a member of a board c marine hospital officers who were directed to eer asite for anew marine hospital, to e located at Memphis, under the recent appro- priation of $30,000 for that purpose. After a careful examination a purchase of 4% acres of what fs known as Fort Pickering was made for $4,500. This site ts a very healthy one, and commands a magnificent view of the river and surrounding country. The small price paid for it leaves a substantial surplus ma which to erect a handsome and com- modious cottage hospital. Dr. Hamilton says that the sanitary condition of Memphis has been greatly improved since last year. This is due principally to the energy and intelligence of Dr. Thornton, president of the Memphis board of health. By atax of two per cent the Waring system of sews has beeu Introduced and the city 1s excellently drained. Pavements of stone, nearly the same as the Belgian paye~ ment, have been laid. Through these the city 1s much cleaner than it has ever before been. “Dr. Hamilton thinks that while there may be a few cases of fever in Memphis this Year the fatal disease will not reach anything like its proportions in years The system of stricly quarantining houses where the fever a has been decided on and will be rigidly enforced. This system has proved much more svg eed in results than that of quaran- tuning cts of a city. ATTORNEY GENERAL DEVENS left here last once for Boston and will be gone about a week.
