A SATISFACTORY INTERVIEW. ‘The interview between the President anda delegation of Virginia republicans, mentioned in yesterday’s Sra, as fixed for 3 p.m., took place at that hour, The delegation was composea of Gen. Wickbam, chairman, and the entire Tepublican executive committe of Virginia, be- ‘sides a number Of other prominent white ana colored republicans. Representative-elect De- zendort presented the visitors individually, after which Gen.{Wickham explained the object of the visit. He informed the President that the republican executive committee, then in bis presence, had been charged since April oi last year with the mani ent of republican affairs in Virginia; that they were ail true re- publtcans, especially interested in placing the party in V1 ia0R & solid footing; that they distrusted entirely the readjuster movement, and wanted nothing to do with it. Geo. Wick- ham referred to the party's experience in 1869, When, under the guise of a Uberal movement, Mahone and others overthrew the republican arty in the state and almost destroyed tt. The elegation had come, said Gen. Wickham, to ask Che President’s support in their efforts to establish republican success in Virginia, and the leaders in that state believe that with a square fight on principle they can win; or, if failing to elect state officers, can at least catry the legisiature, NBVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT A REPUBLICAN. ‘The President replied that he had never been. anything but a republican, and he would not do anything in opposition to the best interests of that party, and he would edd that he was Positively and emphatically opposed to any party or anything that would militate against ublic faith and credit. Ic was for the repub- cans of Virginia to decide whether or not the Teadjuster movement was tainted with re pudiation, If it was, republicans ought not to ouch it. In reply to a question as to whether the Rtd- ale jer Dill repudiated portion of the Gebt, Gen. Wick! sald positively that it did; that 1c strikes off a partof the debt and 13 Unadulterated repudiation. It had never been 8 ubmitted to the creditors; on tne contrary the creditors were notified thatit they did not ac. cept the terms offered in that bill they would get woree. ‘The President inquired it any party in Vir- Inia offered a better setflement. Gen. Wick- am replied that the republicans had offered the Ress-Hamilton bill, which provided for payment of all the debt and was satisfactory to the creditors. Mr. Poindexter, a colored man, stated that binety per cent of his people are opposed to coalition. WANT A STRAIGHT FIGHT. Other gentlemen of the delegation made state ments showing that the republicans of their re- spective congressional districts desire astratght party fight. Gen. Wickham said the visit was not one of office-seeking; its object was the good of the republican party. Mr. Bennett, « member of the executive committee, produced aletter from Jobn F. Lewis, chairman of the State Central committee and nominee for lteu- tenant governor on the readjuster ttcket, in which Lewis wrote him that he (Lewis) had seen the President, and “he Is in favor of a coalition to beat the Bourbons this fall.” The Presiden: fald be had not seen Lewis since the readjuster convention, nor had he authorized any state- ments as to what he favored. Hisattention was called to numerous reportsjin the nature of Ubreats that federal officials would or might be removed in Virginia if they ouposed Mahone. ‘The President said that nobody tad any right or authority to make such threats; he le ap- Ppointments for the public good, and listened to no dictation. He was opposed to the ‘‘boss”” system in politics, and did not propose to give Up patronage for use in political matters. THE REPUBLICANS ENTIRELY SATISFIED. Gen. Wickham and those with him expressed themselves to 2 Srax reporter as entirely satis- fled with the interview. They regarded the President's declarations, especially that with Tegard to repudiation, as a substantial con- detonation of the readjusters, Gen. Wickham Says a Fepublican convention will be neld and that {t will nominate a regular ticket and mak: ore of the hottest, hardest fights ever seen i: Virginia, The other members of the executive commfttee all spoke to the same effect, ang they unarimously expressed the opinion ibat Gen. Wickham will be the nominee for governor. NO CHANCE FOR THE MAHONE TICKET. Mr. Spitzer, of Richmond, a native Virginian Said that the republicans have now a better organization than last fall. He sald further that there Is no chance of success for the Ma- hone Ucket under any circumstances; tha. 1f the (ope ere were foolish enough to aban- don the field in the name of coalition, the bourbons would sweep the state. WHAT THE MAHONE MEN SAY, Readjusters and republicans who favor co- alition in Virginia claim that they have more Teason to feel gratified at what occurred yes terday in the Wickham interview with the President than the straight-outs. They main tain that the President, opens | Uo the pub- Mshed report, did not utter a word tn opposition to the readjuster movement or in support of the straight-out movement.

PORTANT CONFERENCE NEW YORK. The Senatorial Question—General Grant Talks Freely—Mr. Wheeler's Chances. [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) NEw YorK, June 18.—A long conference was held last evening and this morning at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, between General Grant and ex- Sepators Conkling and Piatt, and a dozen Mutual friends, on the senatorial question. General Grant was very bitter on the adminis- tration, confirming fully ‘all that has been re- Ported about him in that respect. He reiter- ated that it would bea di to the siate it Conkling and Platt were not reelected. It came out during the conversation that Platt has no hope of re-election, and the fear was expressed that Wheeler would be elected next week. THE ALBANY DEADLOCK. IN A Crisis Near at Hand—Prospective Work for an Albany Grand Jury— Ex-Vice President Wheeler on the Ground—Speculations as to Men and Events. (Special Dispatch to ihe Evening Star.) Avsany, N.Y., June 18, ’81,2 p.m.—The fac- tions In their Nght over the Senatorial vacan- cies are approaching a crists and are exhibiting all the signs which in belligerents usually pre- cede blows or the final clinching. Argument is displaced by billingsgate. ‘The half-breed organs lead the way in calling Conkling and Piatt “Senatorial criminals,” while the stut- warts retort what the half-breeds are—a “gang engeged in work of infamy and corruption.” Blows must be near at hand. As to the money that has been paid on checks of Tillinghast, Barber, and some of the others, it will be in the end shown that it was used elsewhere than here. That received on the Tillinghast check was taken and used in rail Toad Matters in the western part of the state, and some of the others have as little connec- Mon as that with the Senatorship. Sufficient has been developed by the pe com- tee, run in the interest of the stalwarts, to throw a cloud of suspicion upon the hait- breeds. That is what Mr. Conkling has been working for, bis object being to demoratize hix opponents by charges and developing enough to convince the public that corruption is the balf- breeds’ main ai ent, and in that way turn public sentiment against them. The facts and suspicious circumstances that have been brought out on the senatorship and indirectly on the of bills has convinced the district attorney here that itis his duty to bring the attention of the grand jury to the developments. He has sent invitations to Barber, Edwards and other lobbyists to call at the grand jay, room on Monday next. From the class of men who have received these invi- tations it would seem to be the plan to get facts to indict legislators for receiving bribes rather than the lobbyist for bribing them. This has Caused a commotion, and may bring the legis- lature to asudden collapse and cause the flight Of several parties to Canada as a simflar move- ment did the legislature of 1963, when A. T. Stewart commenced legal Gen pe ot bribery on the Broadway railroad bil ‘The halt-breeds iting uneasy Over the — 2 ay opp ieg afraid - grand jury investigations of passage one of his bills, maue a spe.ch at the half- breed conference last night, aemandiug una their committee of managers should notity Conkling that they were ready to take one stalwart and any person that he would nam> but himself. He told his associates that they had been fooling long enough; they could no: elect but ope half-breed; they knew it, and Inigbt as well announce it and invite the’stal. warts toa compromfse at once. Others ar- becoming restless, and a break in their lines 1s possible at any moment. Ex-Vice President Wheeler appeared here yesterday for the first time since the canvass opened, arriving just atter Conkling and Platz left for New York. He spent all the evening in consultation with the anti-Conkiing leaders, and appeared to recognize the fact that a com- romise with Conkling would have to be made ‘fore an election could be secured, and urged the concentration of the scattering vote on a single candidate for each term to force that compromise. He publicly stated that unless such compromise was made, Mr. Depew should be the administration candidate; that he and his friends had made this fight against Conkling, and justice demanded that he should be the man Selected in any compromise as the admipistration man. itis hardly possible that a compromise can be made on Depew. There are three men who from present appearances can hardly be made the compromise candidates. They are Conk- lpg. Platt and Depew. The feeling that exists precludes the acceptance of either in a combi- nation for a compromise. If an agreement be- tween the factions is made it is more Hkely to be Crowley or Lapham .on the stalwart side and Wheeler or Rogers on the half-breeas.
