J., a $500 U.S. note marked “consclence money.” Some days ago @ contribution of $200 to the con- sclence fund was received at the department from a Washin, ol ‘who had re- ceived it throught the confessional. Ex-Gov. Ramsay, the chairman of the Utah commission, calied on the Secretary of the In- terlor today and presented the report of the commission. The report details the work of the commission, and gives an account of the pro- gress made’ in the enforcement of the laws against polygamy, The commission will reo- ommend that the same policy be continued. and express the opinion that {t is now only question of time when polygamy will become extinct in the territory. An Anuy Rerraina BoARD—By direction of the President, an army retiring board has been ordered to convene at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, for the examination of such officers as may be ordered before it, The following 1s the detail for the board: Brigadier Gen.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY Coon has returned and was at his desk in the Treasury department today. His resignation takes effect upon the qualification of his successor, which probably will not be until after the election in New York. He denies that the seat in the stock exchange was purchased for hi and says be bas not made any definite bi less connections, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE Last Days or Grace.—Several groups of office seekers wended their way to the White House early this morning as if intent upon making use of the time between now and November first, when the President's edict of banishment goes into effect, REPRESENTATIVE BAYNE'S CIVIL SERVICE Vrews.—Representative Bayne, of Pittsburg, arrived in Washington this morning. He be- lieves, he says, in practical civil service reform, and though the present law may be defective in some respects, It ought to be maintained and improved. Mr. ‘Bayne holds that the pubiic service should be protected from partisanship and should be conducted as nearly as possible upon the same principles and methods that prevail In ordinary business affuirs. ApMrRAL JovETT, commanding the north Atlantic squadron, ts still in Washington. He said to-day that he had expected his fleet to be ready to sail for Florida waters for practice pur- poses about the 10th of November, but that there were so many delays in preparing the Vessels for sea that thelr departure would be delayed probably for some time. The Galena Is the only vessel now ready, but the Tennessee will be by Saturday, ‘THe Prestvent’s Tair Home To Vorg.—It 1s stated at the White House that the Presi- dent will leave here Sunday evening and pro- ceed direct to Buffalo to vote, and then return direct to Washington, arriving here Wednes- day evening or Thursday morning. He will robably make the journey alone. Secretary Manning, who votes in Albany, will probably leave here Saturday night, and Secretary Whit- ney, who votes in New York city, will probably leave on Monday. Private Secretary Lamont will also leave on Monday morning for his home in Cortland county ‘Tue UNFINISHED CRUIsERs.—At the confer- ence yesterday afternoon between Secretary Whitney, the assignees of John Roach and the members of the advisory board, the Secretary called for a report from the assignees concern- ing the organization of the yards where the work is to be done, the compensation of the workmen, etc, This report will be made ina few days, and the order to proceed with the work will probably then be g' APPOINTED ON A FRAUDULENT PETITION.

VIEWS OF AN ARMY OFFICER—SECRETARY ENDIOOTT'S ORDER A GOOD ONE. Although Col. Gregory and Capt. Davis were relieved from duty as aides to Gen. Sheridan, on the 10th of this month, Gen. Sheridan has made no move towards filling thelr places. The officers mentioned are both here, Col. Gregory awaiting orders from the chlef of engineers, and Capt. Davis having been granted permission to delay reporting to his regiment until the first of November. The course pursued by Gen. Sheridan in this matter is still a lively subject of comment in army circles. He, together with other general officers, were sorely grieved that they were compelled togive up personal aides whom they desired to keep with them, and thelr dissatisfaction is shown in their failure, with one exception—Gen, Hancock—to fil their places, An officer speaking to a Srar reporter to-day on this subject said: “This state of affairs shows more conclusively than anything else the ad- visabjlity and the necessity of the order send- ing officers back to their regiments after four years’ special duty service. It shows one of two things, either that the personnel of our army has degeucrated through carelessness or mismanagement to such an extent that it is impossible or difficult for general officers to find, among over two thousand officers, suitable suc cessors to their aides, of whose services they have been deprived, or else these same officers have either failed tosee or have entlrely ignored the merit and talent of other officers from among whom they can select their aides.

HE REPUDIATES THE ALLEGED NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS WITH HIM—HE DENIES THAT HE PROMISED TO PROTECT REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER’S INTERESTS. Judge Vincent, recently removed by the President’s order from the position of chief Justice of New Mexico, arrived in Washington ‘this morning. A Stak reporter called upon him at Welcker's and was very pleasantly recelved, but Judge Vincent begged to be excused from making any statement concern- ing his removal, or the defense he proposes to make. “It would,” he satd, “be manitestly improper for me to say anything about the matter before seving my superior in office. I would be glad, however, if you would state, as coming from me, that everything printed pur- Porting to be interviews with me has been fab- rieated from beginning to end. Ihave not had 8 word to say abont the case.” Judge Vincent said that he Intendea to see the Attorney General and submit his sideof the case. He did not know how long he would be here. “It may take a week or 3 month,” he said, with an air indicating a determination to havea hearing. His attention being called by the reporter to the published statement to the effect that prior to his appointment he (Vin- cent) promised to protect certain interests of Congressman Springer in New Mexico, the judge said that was absurd. “I am not a fool,” e udded, “and even if I had been appointed for snch a purpose, I certainly would not have been foolish enough to avow it.” Judge Vincent is a young man, He does not look to be thirty years of age. He said to the reporter: “Though I am a young man, I’ve had ‘@ good deal of experience ln pubiic affairs.” es. Congress te Decide.

STANTON’S APPREHENSION THAT THE PRESI- DENT DESIGNED TO FORCIBLY EJECT BIM— THE POLICE ENLISTED BY STANTON TO WATCH BLE BODY GUARD. Major A. C, Richards, who wassuperintendent Of police for a long beries of years, and who oc- cupted that position at the time Andrew John- son was President, in speaking of the recent publications by Mr. Depew and Col. Burr in reference to Johnson and Gen. Grant, said yes- terday toaSrak reporter that the discussion had brought some circumstances to his mind which he had never mentioned before. “When Johnson was President,” said the major, “and it was generally known that there were differ- ences between the Secretary of War and the President, one morning I received a message from Secretary Stanton that he desired to see meni e spending bis entire time In the War Depart: ment building, taking bis meals and lodging there. In fact, the department was then his home. When i reached the department I was at once admitted to his room, and he then in- formed me In a general way that trouble was ahead, and he had reason to believe that an at- tempt'would be made by the marines from the garrison, on 8thatreet east, to seize the depart- ment building and forcibly, disposes him of it. ‘TheSecretary did not sak the protection of the police, nor that the force should take part in ‘any contest which might take place, but he simply asked to be informed if the marines should march out of the garrison, and inUmated that he would be prepared for any such attack. ‘The Secretary was not very communicative, but he led me to believe that there was a force somewhere which would have come to his as- sistance speedily had there been occusion.” ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY THE POLICE, “What arrangements did you make, major?” asked the reporter. “I arranged,” answered the major, “with the Ueutenant of the eighth precinct—I think it was Milstead—that any move at the barracks should be signaled atonce. The officers, with- out knowing the import of the signal which ‘was to have been passed from one to another to headquarters, were posted in sight of e: other. We had the Gamewell dial machines then to transmit messages between the stations and headquarters, but I was not certain that the message could be sent when necessity re- quired, as the machines sometitnes got out of order, and I arranged for signaling from man to man should there be necessity. Ido not suppose that any one at the department knew my business there outside of Mr. Stanton, and am certain that none of my force knew what Was going on, although some may have guested You have not stated how long this arrange- ment was continued,” the reporter remarked. “My, ecollection ‘now 1s," said the major, “that it was for two or three days and nights, Iwas expected todo nothing more than send Mr. Stanton word of my movement, Mr. Stan- ton sald he wished to be apprised of the first in- dication that there was to be a forcible attempt on the department,and I was prepared to 80 ap- prise him. What would have been my course had the aitempt been made I cannot say now, but I would have, to the best of my ability, used the fore in attempting to preserve the peace at ‘MR, STANTON’S MYSTERIOUS FORCE. “You are quite certain,” asked the reporter, “that Mr. Stanton was prepared with force?” “Yes,” answered the major; “he gave me to understand that by being apprised of any move- ment against the department he would be pre- pared to meet it, but he did not disclose what the force was orgive me any information rela- tive thereto. I unders however, that it was a considerable force, perhaps a few thou- sand, but the Secretary's conversation with me was mostly as to watching the barracks and giving him ibformation as toany movement from that quarter.” “Col, Burr,” said. thé reporter, “speaks of a distinguished general of the volunteer service being at the head of the veterans.” “Yes,” said the major, “but I cannot conjec- ture as to whom he refers to. I remember, however, that Mr. Stanton, for some reason un- known to me, directed me to telegraph to = number of parties, mostly in Pennsylvania, and I am certain that several dispatches were sent to Pittsburg. Perhaps Gen. Negley may have been one of the parties I telegraphed to, and be may be the officer alluded to as having the command, but it has been so long ago— nearly twenty years—that [cannot remember with any certainty as tothe names. The gen- eral tenor of the dispatehes was requesting In- vestigations to be madeas to what was going on, and to learn the temper of the people. The question then was as to who was on top; Congress and the Secretary of War, with perhaps one or two others of the cabinet, being on one side, and the President aud the rest of the administration on the other. The marines were at the garrison and navy yard, as ‘well as some sailors, and the army had bere but a handful of men—one or two companies of ordnance men at the arsenal. Knowing this, I was aware that Mr, Stanton must be expecting aid outside of the regulararmy, and I had the impression that the force he alluded to was some association. He was quite emphatic, however, that if force was used against him he would meet it with force, but he gave no fur- ther information as to the force. He was very reticent in his conversation with me about this time, and gave me no more information than Was necessary.” What do jou know,” asked the reporter, “of ps arming in Maryland about that time?” I cannot recall now that 1 learned any- thing,” said tne major,“on that subject, but some of tne dispatches { sent for Mr. Stanton may have been to parties to ascertain what was occurring in that state. Icannot recall now What J learned from that state, if did any- thing.” STANTON AND WELLES, Last evening's gentleman who,in the days re- ferred to, was @ close, intimate friend of Mr. Stanton said, referring to Col. Burr's story and Major Richards’ statement: “Itis more than likely all true, especially that as to the marines, for Secretary ‘Welles was very bitter towards Mr. Stanton and very friendly with Mr. Jobu- son. In fact, he wanted Mr. Johnson almost before the rupture became Known to oust Mr. Stanton. Yes, it would not have taken much to have induced Mr. Welles to have called out the marines and put Mr. Stanton and his effects in the street. any of the older employes of the War and Navy departments, and they will tell you that there wasno love between the War and Navy Secretaries about that time.” Consternation Among Office Seekers.
