BE THINKS GRANT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIE STEONC <8T CANDIDATE, BUT THAT GARFIELD Wu PULL THROUGH—CONKLING WILL OP8N THE NW YORK BALL NEXT WEEK—HOW MURPHY GAVE CONKLING AN IDEA—THE OxI- GIN OF THE LIBKRAL REPUBLICANS. ‘'Bx-Collector of the Port of NewYork, Thomas Murphy, is at the Arlington Hotel. Murphy, it will be remembered, {3 an intimate friend o Gen. Grant. He ts of celtish extraction, built Square but rather low in stature; has florid com- plexion, a violet eye, sandy hair, and a square cut mouth, indicative of that firmness for which he ts noted. Mr. Murphy's trip here is solely for pleasure. He will return to New York to night. During a drive to the Cabin John bridge yesterday with Mr. Murphy and others, the re- presentative of THs Stam had a pleasant chat ‘With the ex-collector, 10 which Mr. Murphy told some very intresting reminiscences of the past, and made prophecies founded on nis convic tons for the future; that is in a political sense. “Do you know,” said the ex-collector, “that we are going to elect Garfield? It will be hard work, but we are going to elect him. I think that Grant would have been the strongest nom- inee in New York, and we could have swept the state for him. Next to Grant John Sherman would have been the strongest. The business people of New York like Sherman, and I am satisfed he would have carried New York. Next to Grant and Sherman I think Garfield was the third strongest man.” St “Will Senator Conkling engage ac- Uvely in the campaign?” M.:—“Ot course he will. He is now about 300 miles north of Quebec with Gen. Arthur on a fishing excursion. He will, however, be bick in New York next week, and the music will then begin.” Bowling along the road, the ex-collector for some minutes sat as if in deep meditation, All of asudden he broke out— ** And if asked what state he hai's from, This, our sole reply shall be, ‘He coulies from Appomato: ‘And iis famous apple tree “Do you know,” sald Murphy, ‘that Roscoe Conkling got the idea of paraphrasing Miles O'Reilly's speech for use in presenting Grant’s name to the Chicago convention from me? I can tell you how it was. TI met him one day on Broadway talking with two gentlemen. 1 stopped for a few minutes, and as I was leaving I repeated the aforesaid lines. The next day met him again. He sald: ‘Tom, don’t quote those lines any more than you'can help. I think of utilizing them for a certain oceasion.’ ‘I won't,’ says I, ‘but Senator,’ I added, ‘ let me repeat them again to you; you may have for- gotten them.’ ‘On, no,’ sald Conkting, ‘I have not. I remember them quite well.’” The conversation then drifted to the time Mr. Murphy was collector of the port of New York. Said he, “I didn’t want that office. When Pres- ident Grant first offered it to me I refused point blank to take it. He insisted and I held the matter under advisement. 1 looked over the fleld and thought if I took it 1 could brea down the Tweed ring, and it was solely for this reason that I accepted the place.” ur:—"Well, did you succeed?” M.:—Yes, did. It was a hard fight, though. ‘The trouble was this: Hank Smith and Myneer Were the police commissioners of New York. They were repubticans so-called, bat I soon found out that they were hand in glove with Tammany. Smith and Myneer were also mem- bers of the New York county republican com- mittee. It was no use trying to make headway while they were kniting the party as they were. In the appointment of inspectors of elections these men would have _appointea inspectors who would covertly le with the msny dem and = Ti e result was that gid controlled the roost. ‘was because of this that John A. Griswold was counted out of the governorship and Hoffman counted Griswold was fairly elected by 13,000 majority.” “And now,” continued Mr. Murphy, “I am going to tell some history, as to how the liberal republican party was started. Do you know but few of the leaders knew of its origin? It came about in this way. After I had made my mind cee and Myneer were re- creant to party, I devised means to che:k them. As I said before, both were members of the county republican committee. Ata special meeting of committee which was called, I offered a resolution to the effect, that no re- publican accepting office under Tammany should be so nor have a vote in the county committee. This was opposed Dy Sinith and ier but after a hi fight it was adopted by a majority of twelve votes. Imme- Qiately these men sought to undo what had been done. They enlisted at once the co-operation of Boss Tweed. Tweed one day sent for one of my wroighers, & smart young fellow named Johnny O'Brien. Said he, ‘Johnny, if you will, yourself, vote and use the influence you have with others in the repubii- can county committee to vote as Smith and Myneer vote, I will see that your future ts taken care of.’ “As soon as O’Brien left Tweed,” continued Murphy, “he came to me and told me of the conference he had had with Tweed. Said I, ‘Johnny you go back. Do you know of any Mab you can take with you?’ ‘I do,’said he, ‘and a man before whom I think Tweed will talk.’ “Well,” I added, “take the man with you and have the offer repeated. Now, vo make Jong story short, by the ume of the next meeting of the committee Tammany,with money, with patronage, and with promises, secured enough votes to reconsider the resolution which had reviously been adopted. As scon as this action was had I im- = ely offered a resolution to the effect me the secretary of the committee deeline recognize as republicans men holding em- ployment under ‘Fammany. Strange say, Unis was adopted by eight majority. Next i made a motion to then and there o1 ize the county committee under the resolution just adopted. This revailed, and the organiza- Uon was effected. who resisted the orig- inal resolution and motion then marched to the other end of the room, and then and there or- ganized, calling themselves “Liberal republl- cans.” This was the nucleus upon wilch the iiberal republican party was founded. Having Made so much headway, I concluded that New York could be carried’ for Grant against Gree- ley. I went to work with a will to secure this. I had 2,700 deputy the city, the militia, and “the co-operation of the land and naval forces of the United States. We had a fair election. The backbone of Tweedism was broken, and I was content. I at once re- signed my office. I tell you one ees though, to accomplish what I did it cost me fifty-seven thousand dollars of my a3 collector of the port of New York, and three hundred thou- Sand dollars out of my own pocket besides.” Political Notes.

OUR PARIS LETTER. LIFR IN THE GAY CAPITAL—THE FRUIT, FLOWER, VEGETABLE, MEAT AND FISH MARKETS—SU- BURBAN EXCURSIONS—DRESS GETTING IN PARIS—A VISIT TO THE HI?PODROME—THE GREAT FETE, BTC. [Correspondence of The Evening Star.) Pants, July 13th, 1390, Autumn fruits were formerly two words which were mutually suggestive; but in the advanced culture of the present time we look for everything ripe and rare in spring or very early summer. Two months ago the strawber- ries began; then followed apricots, cherries,cur- rants, gooseberries, raspberries, Now we have all these, with the larger fruits, green figs, plums and melons, till the streets are full of the heavy fruity odors, and the manufactories of preserves exhale delicious whiffs from the great copper boilers within the doors,as do the baskets just in from the country piled up outside them. At the immense markets there seems to be infinite variety and profusion. Two visits last week to the “Halles Centrales” gave me some idea of the sources from which the great city is fed. Each department is of itself an enormous market for meats, fish, vegetab! wits and flowers. How sturdy and saucy the “ladies of the market” are! The smaller marchandes will assall you with shrill cries to buy, but the first- class Stall keepers assume a fine “take it or leave It” air. They have all a charming candor in the personal remarks which they exchange about your manner and appearance, and the least slip in your pronunciation 1s sure to be noted and répeated. ‘The housekeepers who object to the lees or quality of the wares get ro very gentle refoinders. As our bonne latd down a basket of petits pois with an angry pro- test at their price, the market woman said with an altogether untranslateable scorn to her part- ner, “Chut! Let her go! She is German!” Con- tempt and obloquy were exhausted in that epitaph, as Mrs. Noahs hee would put it. m the high market days, Tuesdays and Fri- days, the supplies of the lesser markets are doubled and trebled. The streets on ether side exhibit much the same appearance as thos: arcund our own markets. Peasants bring their loads of fresh vegetables, small fruits and spicy herbs. Walking through these long rows of stalls one gives grateful thanks to liberal, open-hearted Nature for her varied and whole- some gifts. It is almost possible to believe that we are out in the real country, so fresh and Sweet are the smelis and exhalations from thyme and estragon, parsley and crefentl ana the new-dug potatoes and salad. ‘The tllusion would not resist long the less attractive parts of the market, where meats and fish are sold. The turbot, a much esteemed fish on this side of the globe, is a hideous looking monster, and there are others which one wonders did not for- ever repel even a barbarian’s first culinary ex- periment. A friend wanted me to go to see the abbatoirs on “killing day,” explaining how perfect and humanitarian is the process. A single, unerring stroke pierces the and, without cry or bloodshed, the animal is dead. It is hear that the old, terrible way can be tered, but neither there nor to the morgue would I willingly go. The living, laboring ani- mals have much more interest for me, and ameong these I am always glad to see the hon- est, Soft eyes, the brown faces and the strong. hearty little bodies of the donkeys. They do a lot of work here, harnessed to the little carriole of light wood (just the favorite model of a chiid’s garden wagon), laden with heavy enough ‘burdens of every describable ware, or trotting contentedly between the deep panters full o! clover or flowers, or ernaps earthenware and metal pots and ‘pans. The farmers or market gardeners living near Paris use these cheap and easily kept little animals raueh. 1 wonder we do not import them and try the effect of emi- gration on this kind of donkey. ‘The almost dally showers of the last six weeks have made the gardens and green places of Paris quite vernal again. The mornings and evenings are coo. There is a wonderful absence of all annoying int ‘80 much so that I can easily believe the dear old gentleman who asserted that for a good part of the summer one fly, with a slight lameness in the right fore ta dats been his st at breakfast! Imagine our being past the “Fourth” without having had ca and comfort disturbed by ny or mosquito! Yet for all these pleasant things, it is not good to be kept In Paris after the last week of June. One wants to have the windows open, and, if there is a balcony, to sit on it of an evening. But the noise! Compound clamor of a hun thou- sand vehicles, animais, hammerings, train-trumpets, these are the chief street music whether blown by the driver or pressed parueentney, out of the tin and rubber cor- trivance with hand or foot. It is deafening, this nose; maddening and wearing, I am sure, to the very springs of life. 1 3] Of Course, of the great thoroughfares of thecity. Among the very old and very new streets there is often a complete quiet to be found. It is delightful to get away for a few hours to some one of the many lovely places attainable by railway or Seine boat, an folng early in the morning, to return in the’ first afternoon hours when the general crowds are coming out ‘St. Cloud, some miles down on the left bank of the river, is an enchanting place. There is a hill to climb and there are long alleys of lordly, gracious trees, all kept here as perfectly as it is possible to keep trees, and park, tlower-beds and shrubberies. The ‘castle” is a ruin, like the form of government that founded and kept it,and, like that, far past the possibility or desir- ability of repair: but the serene and beautiful things of nature remain, giving repose and de lUght to the city-tired and overworked popula- tion. St. Germain en Laye 1s another resort, going to which one passes Malmalson and other Spots of romantic and historic fame. It was at St. Germain that Louis XIV. was born. There also lived awhile and died the poorest of the peor old royal frauds and shams, the extled James II. of England. I would qualify that, however, by saying that even that distinction may not belong to him since he has been suc- ceeded by such superlatively poor {frauds and shams of royalty, dead and alive. There is a superb stretch of terrace shaded by magatiticent aristocrats of trees and commanding a marvel- lous view of country and distant Paris. ‘The wood is just enchanting, with its fresh young growth mingling with the old, its qutet walks and thick, soft carpet of grass and wild flowers. Tthink Versailles seldom attracts a second visit of the sight seer. It {s so monotonous and for- mal with the prim, dry airs of the ancien reginw strongly impressed upon it all. its miles of pictures, good and bad,—mostly bad,—are very well to . by unnoticed, and a warning ainst the fearful fatigue ‘to feet and eyes should be gratefully heeded,—a rare fate for Warnings, however. Ina recent copy of THE Stak I saw with pleasure that in a loud and impressive waraing Olive Logan had lifted her voice. Sie cries out toour ubhappy and deluded countrywomen, who by thousands come to Paris. ‘To study? To visit the great galleries? To enjoy its charming open-air ie? To refresh memory and brighten intelligence amidst its scenes of the eon saddest, awfullest dramas and tragedies that humanity has enacted? Not so, alas! They come to learn in what smallest, unnatural compression to torture ribs and viscera; to become “chic” in air and style; to combine colors in endless variety, and often in deplorably bad taste; to hunt the aressmaker and Invade the Shops. Poor things! They do have a bad time indeed! The waists are pinched as Ihave never before seen them; the feet suf- ler the tortures of the wilfully ignorant in the bigh-heeled, sharp-toed shoes; their skins smart under the cosmetics and powders, stopping the pores and taking away every breath of the sweet- hess of wholesome, natural girlhood aud woman- hcod, for even the“elderly person”of the present fashionable generation Sacrifices too often all dignity and grace of mature life to'the mad folly of “young” fashions. And all that is said ot the dishonesty and inefficiency of Paris dress- makers might be supplemented with endless examples, Yet 1 have a word to say on the other side.

And it ts also a thing well worth , the rollin back, when the fineness of the it is aasured of the great iron roof, parted in the middle and opening without noise or creaking, like a dining table gaping for more slabs (or leaves.) But the “planches” which filled this monster ‘space were the deep blue stretches of sky, darkening as night came down and showing the stars, which not even the intense electric light could wholly outshine. So we all sat, in perfectly pure air, enjoying the well-arranged show, the courses of the beautiful horses, and the fun of the round dozen of clowns, finishin with a pantomime of Puss in Boots. It was a! pantomime, for that matter—the enormous amphitheater effectually precluding any at- tempt at making the voice heard. ‘There were various other matters whic were in my mind to include in this letter, but it 1s hard to resist the turmoil and excitement, or think of anything but the great Fete of the Re- public, which 1s to take place to-morrow. For quite & week public and private preparations for It have been in active progre: ree NO- Uces are posted, calling on the “dear fellow- citizens” to come forward and ald the muntetpal verbment in making this 14th July the most rilliant and memorable that Paris has ever be- held. Subscriptions are received at the different wairies for decorations, music, &c., and each householder is exhorted to vie with his neighbor in making a grand effect. We have heard many Tumors of disturbances, of risings of the friends of the expelled religious confraternities, gather. ings of the commune, and other peace disturb- ing elements, but government is without doubt strong and assured enough to be amply repared against anything of that kind. On the jast of June there was certainly a feeling per- vading our quarter of the city which alarmed the timid. In the Rue de Sevres, close to the great Magazin du Bon Marché, there were Crowds apparently as ready and anxious for a good, up-and-down fight a3 need be, But it Was to be reniarked that women made far the greater portion of these crowds. The gens- darmes were in fullforee. The ejectment of the priests, who foolishly thought to resist the law and locked thetnselves in tt fr cells, was after all quietly accomplished; groups of Idlers lounged about the square till ‘a late hour, and nothing came of it all. Now this /ete will so please the pleasure-seeking Parisians that if aby CAE of animosity exists it will be most probably forgotten in the glitter and “bew!l- dering beauty” of the grand show. Verily tie men of the French government are wise in their generation! So, withsome attempt to describe whatever will be possible for me to see of this great cele- bration, I shall bring my summer letters from Paris toa close. Just at the beautiful gardens of the Luxembourg will be one of the great centers of the display. It will extend to the Place de lObseryatoire, and as the spaces all about there are immense, it may not b2 so diffi- cult an undertaking as if one should try to through the narrower streets. . ‘THE MoRMOns Celebrated Saturday, the anni- versary of their first entrance into Utah, thirty- three years ago. They had a grand pronessson of trades and industries, with ten brass and mili bands in Salt Lake City. It was wit- nessed by 15,000 ‘tors. Among the mottos was “The Happy Polygamous Family,” carried by said family in a wagon. The ceremonies closed by a big meeting in the tabernacle, with Speeches and music. The federal officials of Utah were invited to attend, but as it was ex- clusively a sectarian affair they declined, A CLERGYMAN’S SON ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY. Charles W. Wallace, the son of Rev.

A Burton HOOK DRIvEN Into A Boy's Heap. Julius Kose, seventeen years old, of No. 192 Wooster street, and James Kelly, sixteen years old, who lives in Thompson street, “pooled” their pocket money yesterday and bought a co- coanut, There was a minute difference be- tween the amounts subscribed by each, and when it came to a division of the cocoanut a quarrel arose. Kelly pulled a button hook four inches long, with a wooden handie, from his pocket, drove the tron into Rose’s skull behind the left ear, seized the cocoanut and ran away. Policeman McGowan found Rose half an hour Jater sitting on a stoop in Bleecker street, near South 5th avenue, with the button hook stick- ing in his head. At the station house the doc- tors from the New York Hospital pronounced the wound dangerous, and would not attempt to withdraw the button hook, which was buried more than two inches close beside a large art- ery. At the hospital the hook was extracted. Lonel was arrested late last night.. .
