No stop was made, the boat turning back, some of the party debark- ing at Georgetown, and others trom the stirting point, at’ the 6th stteet_ wharf. During the trip Major Twining was active in pointing out to the committee the good results of a reclamation of the land and the deepening of the channel as contemplated in the flats bill, The wip was made at high water, and for this on the celebrated Kidwell flats could not seen, owing to high water. ‘The committee were deeply tntcrested in their ol rvations and were more than ever con- viuced of the necessity of thetmprovement. The trip extended to the Little Falls of the Po- tomae, the object being to show the committee the abundance of deep water above the flats. Of the members who had never heretofore Inspected the Tiver front, Messrs, Garrison, of Va., 1nd Smith, of New York, were deeply interested. Mr. Smith thinks the work should be done, and be well don no matter what It cost. The committee returnes to the 6th street wharf at two o'clock, some few leaving the tug at Georgetown.

The examination was resumed at noon to-day in the Police Ge Judge Snell. Dr. De Smedt stated that he had been at the works of the com- pany with Mr. Blunt, and had a conversation with McKnight and Thorp, McKnight asked his opinion of the stone on © street in front of the office, and witness answered that he wanted to see how the stone was made. An objection ba tees Mr. Coyle stated that he expected to iow by this witness that McKnight admitted that the stone they were pred Was not made on the formula of the pat- The witness proceeded, and sald that the patent Was shown him and his opinion was asked of it. He answered that the muriatic acid was detri- mental. McKnight then said they did not use it, and that the real process was kept a secret, forhe did not wish to give his patent away so cheaply. Cross-examined :— Witness did not know exactly When this conyersation took place, but ean that it was in January. Went to the place with Blunt, who was interested in cement. Witness had no poet for stone, but one for asphalt pavement. ‘Witness was here subjected to a long cross-exami- tion on cements—the Roman and Portiand—in Which he said the latter was to some extent an imitation of the former, but they had Crepe im- roved cements and had produced a better cement than the Roman. On cross-examination by Mr. bn said he was paid for the analysis of the ie by Mr. Baldwin. He had not attempted to use the iients mentioned in the patent to ascertain what would be the result. not at- tempt it because he did not see any use in it. DR. DE 8MEDT'S TESTIMONY CORROBORATED.

The New York Tribune of to-day says: “Some time ago we published @ letter trom the general Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Com- Pany about the theft of @ dispatch from the editor of the Tribune to the Assistant Secretary of State. Gen. Eckert said the guilt rested on one of the tele- graphic employes, but that if-trying to punish him they had been stopped by ‘finding no law in the District to cover sn offence*which nearly every- where else in the Union sends the criminal to the nitentiary, In publishing this note we stated hat the crime was committed elther by J. A. Hutchison, the operator who received the dispatch, or by Jules Guthridge, the operator ina branch, one a few yards away, having a loop on the same wire.” THE AFFIDAVIT. ‘The Tridune then publishes what it calls an “anxious and interesting affidavit,” made in this city before Nicholas Callan, notary public, by J. A. Hutchison, which sets forth “that on the day following the publication in the New York Herald he received at the hands of a messenger at his place of business a letter from Mr. Jules Guth- Tldge, of which the following Is a copy, the origl- nal having been sent to Mr. Whitelaw Reid: Dear Hutch.: 1 have just read a communication in to-day’s New York Herald which embodies, among other things, the dispatch sent by White. law Reld, last spring, to Colonel Hay, or Blaine, in Bickford’s care. 1 Want to say to you here that it never came from me, When Tsaw it I thought I would use it in @ certain direction. Upon Fellection, however, I decided to drop tt entirely. I was afterward told I could get “big money” for tt from the Herald, but refused” to sell it, for two reasons. T didn’t care to compromise you, and certainly should not have sold. it without your permiscon, and, in the s-cond place, Lfelt that Thad everything to lose and relatively little to gain by antagonizing Whitelaw Reld and the Tribune, “So much by way of introduction. Assuming that you knew nothing about the Herald article unit now, my advice ts to acknowledge nothing. In short, you know nothing about tt be- ‘ond the fact. of being the communication between eld and Bickford. Hastily, (Signed) JULES GUTHRIDGE. The afflint further states that this was the first intimation he had had that there was such a dispateh tn existence, or that It had passed through his hands, © '* * ‘That Mr. George Gi Mand. called at the office where he, Hutchison, was employed, when conv: sation ensued of which he (Hutchi-on) took minutes inj short- hand, and that the following is a tran- script. of the notes then made by him; “i understand you took that dispatch, but I don’t belfeve you had anything to do with its leaking out, as T remember about that time Gutnridge coming to me and saying, ‘We have access to the American Union office; we can plek up plenty of things.” In fact, he said he ‘had plenty of tuings in his possession now,’ and sald he would like to know how Conkling could bo got at, but I refused, and I guess good deal of this Jeak 1s him. I asked Gilliland if he had ever seen ‘the dis patch or knew of its existence. He sud no, but things transpired at that time which made him think Guthridge is the man that took it.” AMlant further states that from the time of this interview until the publication in_ the 7ribune of March 8 nothing further came to hts knowledge in Tegard to the telegram in question; that on the evening of the day last mentioned Mr. Guthridge happened to come where he was employed, when he (Hutchison) asked him what he ’ knew about said telegram, whereupon Guthridge wrote the following onthe back of a telegraphic blank and handed it to Min: “You know ntg, I know ntg, that’s what I sald to-day when spoken to on subject; stick to it.” Hutchison turther states that after he read this note he returned it to Guthridge, who crumbled itu in his hand and threw it on the floor; that Guthridge then sald toa bystander that he knew nothing of the dispatch, and if he did he wouldn't sayso to him. CHANGES IN THE LETTER. The Trivune goes on to say that the affidavit does not give the full letter of Guthridge, adding: “Between the last sentence and the one just pre- ceding it, as given above, there 1s in the original an erasure of an entire sentence. Mr. Hutchison, in letters in our possession, adinits having made this erasure, but protests that he cannot remember why he’ did it, or what the sentence wis. We think wecan help him. We-hsve submitted the letter to experts, who, examining it severally, azreed in promptly declaring that the erased sen: tence reads: * Don't ackrancledge even that you sent (oF shored) me a copy of it.” ‘The Tribune also 81ys that.Mr. Guthridge 1s a clerk in the Treasury department.

Lettuce and rad- ishes from the Carolinas and from Norfolk are coming in and sell readily. Spinnach and kale are abundant and of exceilent qualtty, and sells cheaply by the barrel or in jobbing tots.

From the talk that one bears 1a the corridors of the Fifth Avenue hotel and elsewhere, It ts very plain that the spirit of strife between the Conkling and the anti-Conkling fac- tions is as strong as ever. Two or three weeks ago the ex-Senator and his followers slapped their thighs in thelr exuitations. They thought that Cornell, by his appointment of Mason (which all agree was avery ill-advised move on_the gover- nor’s part),and by the Tammany deal, had cut his own throat. Cornell to them had dwindled down from a governor with a gool record toa very ttle man whom nobody would have any more use for. itappears now that they looking at Cornet! through the reverse end of the telescopa. Even the governor’s enemies admit that he is a shrewd politician, and It Is only neces- sary to look back at the contest at Albany last summer for a verification of this fact, He re- frained from rushing into the fight on the stalwart side, where his principies would naturally have led him, and thereby incurred the opposition of the Conkling faction. This very opposition will now get him the support of the half-breeds, who will have their own way in this state for some time to come. Secretary Folger would make a strong can- didate, notwithstanding the fact that he is a stal- wart, but brought forwand as he will be, he will not succeed in getting the nomination. From his position in the Cabinet he would be looked upon as an administration candidate, and that would be enough to cut him out. So, at present, t looks very much as though Cornell would get to carry the Danner. If he does, he will, almost without doubt, serve a second term, a8 there 15 so wide a breach in the democratic ranks, THE WEATHERCOCK.
