Ex-Secretary Chandler on their Politi- cal and Personal Relations. ‘The Boston Herald prints today a letter from | ex-Secretary Wm. E. Chandler, correcting son statements made in the paper on November 18, im an article on “Arthur as President.” Among other | things, Mr, Chandler say: “The assertion 1s made at length, and in various forms, that ‘Mr. Blaine determined to remain at the head of the State department or to be turned out.’ “The Secretary of State supposed that he had succeeded, and that Mr. Arthur would not dare disturb him.’ “The immediate quarrel with the President, which led to his quitting the cabi- net, arose from a breech of good faith regarding the’ instructions given to Mr. Trescott.” ‘Soon after, Mr, Blaine was forced to resign on aceount of thé difference of opinion betw the President in hisSouth American. that Ume on Mr. Blaine and his family were stran- gers at the White House.” “This enmity was in. tensified by the result of the last. presidential elec tion, and Mr. Arthur and his friends were accused Of covertly assisting, by their indifference at least, the triumph of President Cleveland.’ “This 1s nearly ali a Usste of falsehoods, ‘The resignations of the members of the G: net were all placed in President Arthur's hands immediately after he took the oath of office, before the Chief Justice, on the 22d day of September, 1881, in the Vice Prestdent’s room, while President Gartleld’s remains were lying fn the the Capitol. ‘The President asked the seve Uemen to remain in office until there fuller conference. ‘The next day the funeral pro- cession started for Ohio, but Prestdent Arthur re- Mained behind. Beiore’ leaving Washington, Mr. Blaine asked the President at what date he Would probably be released trom the State department, and the latter replied that he destred Mr. Blaime to remain until the Yorktown celebration 6f ( der 19th should de oF nd the entertatnines the French and German visitors should be com- eted. Mr, Blaine, of course, consented to th President's wishes. ’ After the foreign visitors I departed, which was about the middle of 3 ber, Mr. Blaine still remained to assist in the pn aration of so much of the President's messi ted to foreign affairs, Soon after C convened, during December, and on the which Mr. Frelinghuysen hail signitied that ie ¢ sired to commence bis official duties, Mr. Blaine lett the department, “During all this period I saw Mr. Blaine fre- quently, and he conversed with me freely. He manife-ted to me no desire whatever to remain In President Arthur's cabinet; he signified no such wish to the President. He considered a change natural and inevitable. ‘The President, furthe More, urged him to accept the appotitment minister to England, which Mr, Blaine declined with thanks, and they parted in'a friendly” spirit T remember that Mr. Blaine said to me that he did hot feel able to Keey up such an establishment in London as he would desire to maintain, "He wrote a note to the President in connection with his ¢lination of the mission, Which may, perhaps, be found among President Arthur's papers, or Mr. Blaine may have a copy. | “The differences touching some features of the | South American policy happened after Mr. Blaine | the | left the cabinet, the principal one of a personal character being between Mr. Frelinghuysen and | Mr. Blaine, Even this, 1 think, never amounted to a total suspension of intercourse. Mr. Blaine had ( given a public reception at his house to the new | Secretary; but after a time hospitalities ceased, though i think mutual calls by card were never abandoned, Between the President and Mr. Blaine personal relations and an exchange of hospitall- Ues were kept up. Even when the differences on the South Amertean policy were at the warmest Point, Mr, Blaine dined at the White House, and he President dined at Mr. Blaine’s. I am quite sure that Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Were invited to t ‘White House two or three times during the winter Of 1884, and that the President dined at Mr. Blaine’s as late as March, 1884, within three months of the national convention: During the canvass for the nomination tn the spring and summer of 1884, many sharp sayings were in circulation, and the President was much disturbed at times at the reports of some of them, and Mr. Blaine may, have also been irritated, but personal relations Were never terminated. AS late as last spring, when Mr. Blaine finished his | “Twenty Years of Congress,” he sent the two vol- | umes to Mr, Arthur with a Kind insertption, and they were accepted by a friendiy note. THE SNUB TO EDMUNDS, “Jn truth there is much less bitterness, certainly much less personal discourtesy, prevailing among public men who are rivals than our prolific and Teckless_ newspaper writers would have thetr readers believe. Everything which does happen 4s magnified or distorted. ‘The Herald ot Satur- day last states that I did ‘not speak to President Hayes on the late funeral occasion, This is un- true. I greeted him respectfully. ‘The refusal of Mr. Blaine to accept Senator Edmunds’ hand fs to | be regretted. Mr. Blaine’s assigned reason was that, two days before there had been made pub a letter, written by Mr. Edmunds in the spring 0} 1885, which finpeached Mr. Blaine’s personal in- tegrity. Mr. Blaine had the right to draw this inference from the letter, but, considering the surroundings, he should have’ reciprocated Mr. Edmunds’ salutation.” Contest Re ntative ing presen Congressman John M. Glover arrived in St. Louts yesterday from Washington, and was imme- diately served with a copy of the notice and peti- ton of Nathan Frank's contest for hs seat im the | Fiftieth Congress, ‘The face of the returns trom the district Which Mr. Glover and Mr. Frank con- tested gave the former a majority of 100.

A telegram from New York, November 30, says: ‘The Morgan will trial will begin before the court | of appeals the end of this week. It will be the suit originally brought against the late Mrs. Mary | Jane Morgan by the helrs-at-law of her husband, | Charles Morgan, who died in 1879, Shortly before Mr. Morgan’s death he divided’ among certain of his heirs property to the amount of $6,000,000. ‘This property was given in equal shares to his wife, Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan; his daughter, Mrs, Quintard; his daughter, Mrs. Charles A: Whitney, And his grandchild, Richard J. Morgan, son of Charles Morgan, jr. His will, dealing with the remainder of the property, bequeathed simply all Ris estate to the helrsat‘law. His daughter-in- law, Mrs. Henry Morgan, and her children, and the heirs of Mrs, Harris, another daughter, ‘linmedi- ately brought sult. They claimed that the division of his property before death was the result of undue influence, and claimed that the sums s0 | given should be teturned by the recipients and go With the rest of the estate, subjert, to the general accounting, and should bé divided according to the laws of the estave. Mrs, Morgan’s sole desire was that her husband's wishes should be strictly carried out. Had the $6,000,000 been put with the rest of the estate and divided as the contestants wished, her own share as widow would have been larger by some $500,000 than it was according to her husband’s disposition | of the property. She at once replied to the suit and the case has been dragging its way through the courts. In July, 1885, “Mrs. Morgan died in- testate. Her helrs-aUlaw are Mrs. Witilam Moir, | Mrs. Charles Phelps, sisters; Mrs. J. Seymour and Thomas Newcomb, children of Sarah Newcomb, a sister, and 8. 8. M. Sexton, a brother of Mrs. Mor- gan.

Nathaniel W. Conkling, Who, it is claimed, obtained such influ: ence over the widow soon ‘after her husband's death that he received from her upward of $3,000,000 frst and last, without, giving therefor guy consideration whatever.
